ANCIENT FINANCE.
Trading In the Days Before Money
Was In Circulation.

Assyria, with her immense hosts and
her spacious and magnificent cities,
had no money; Egypt-opulent. popu-
lous and abundant Egypt-had no mon
ey; ancient Persia, before the age Of
the first Darius, had no money: the
early Hebrews, and even during the
most prosperous period of the age Of
Solomon and down to the time Of Ju-
das Maccabaeus, were without money;
Etruria from first to last was without
money; Rome was without money to
the time of Servlus Tuilius, and the
Greeks Of the heroic ages were equally
destitute of money. Among all those
nations gold and silver. when used in
barter. were weighed out by the scales,
as when Abraham purchased the cave
of Macpelah 'he weighed to Ephron
the silver which he had named in the
audience of the sons Of Heth."
Anciently there was no money In

Asia Minor, including Tyre and its de-

The Most Oesolate SPOT.

Perhaps the most desolate spot on
earth is tiny storm swept islet IN
Boring sea nearly midway between
Alaska and Siberia. Nearly fifty miles
from the nearest land, Kings island is
a barren rock, SO steep that no beach
landing can be found Here on the
southern side. perched like nests above
the roaring surf and secured to the
rocks by wallus thongs. are the skin
dwellings of the walrus hunters. Here
the sun is never shining, the sea never
smooth. Cold. chilly fogs enshroud the
place in summer. while the frequent
and furious gales that sweep through
Boring strait at all seasons render the
narrow summit unnhabtable. Ice
locked during nine months Of the year.
the natives depend entirely upon the
seal, walrus and whale as a means of
existence. During the brief summer
stray whaler may visit the island for
couple of hours. but this Is the sole
communication with the outer world.
The Kings islanders are closely allied
to the Alaskan Eskimos. They are
fine. hardy race. Injured to daily dan
gers and privatOns, and are reckoned
the best and bravcst sailors in Berng
sea. Their boats of walrus hide will
carry from twenty to thirty persons In
n mountainous sea.

The Names Of Tea.

We Talk glibly about Pekoe. Bohea,
etc. but few people have any idea Of
what these names signify. "Pekoe''
in the dialect Of Canton means white
hair" for the tea which bears this
name is made from the youngest
leaves. so young that the white down
Is still on them. "Soochong" in the
same dialect is quite unpoetic name.
1t merely signifies "small kind"
"Tlourishing spring. is the meaning
Of "Hyson." "Kongo" signifies ia
Dor" Much trouble and toll are ex-
pended in Its preparation at Annoy. and
these are commemorated in it's name.
"j3ohea" is called after range of hills.
