chants and sailors, both in their trade at
home and with foreign nations, were pieces
of leather stamped with the arms of the pow
erful republic.
The currency Of the Aztecs consisted of
transparent quills of gold-dust, of bits of tin
cut in the form Of a I, and of bags of cocoa
containing specified number of grains.
Blessed money" exclaims the old annal-
ist, Peter Martyr, (which excepts its pos
SCISSOR from avarice, since it cannot be long
boarded or hidden under ground"
The earliest coinage in America was the
famous "hogmoney," made in 1912, for the
Virginian Company, at the Sommer Islands,
now the Bermudas. The coin was of brass,
with the legend "Sommer Island" and a
"hogge on one SIDE in memory of the abun-
dance, of hogges which were found on their
first landing"
The currency of the early colonists was
very mixed one. At one time, musket balls
passed for change at farthing apiece, and
were legal tender for sums under shilling
Tobacco and tobacco receipts were also legal
tender, and corn, beans, Goldfish and peltries
were likewise employed.
Wampum, the shellbead money of the In
dams, was the currency most in use however,
being accepted by the colonists as conven-
lent token.
There were two kinds of this shell money
wampumeag," which was white, and made
from the conch or periwinkle, and "suckan-
hook" which was dark purple, and made from
the hardshell clam.
The purple was worth twice as much as
the white. The shell was broken in pieces,
rubbed smooth on a stone until about the
thickness of a pipe-stem, then pierced with

A very few seconds showed that the veteran
was right.
The dark spot came on like leaf driven
by whrlwind, and, as it neared them, as
sumed the form of a splendid eagle, head
ing right for the tree where the little monkey
still hung, unconscious of the coming peril.
At sight of the magnificent bird, Seagrave's
eyes glowed with eagerness, for, ne was
great collector of stuffed birds and beasts.
"Do you remember" whispered Norton,
"the Irishman who said to a, man that had
lust snot an eagle, why did ye waste yer
powder. thin? Sure, the fall would have
killed him!"
was w1Unin hairs breadth of bursting into
loud laugh, which would have spoiled the
whole affair.
He checked himself only just in time, for
at that moment the eagle, after poising itself
for an instant above its doomed victim on
its vast outspread wings, swooped down upon
it as straight and swift as arrow from a
bow.
The poor monkey gave shrill, piteous,
almost human cry, as it felt the cruel claws

struggle at once, when there came a very
strange and startling interruption.

pieces of brass clipped off from mass.
Later, in the time of Servius Tullius, the
brass was coined and marked with the figure
of an OK. An interesting little bit of etymolo-
gical lore is connected with this custom, for
the Latin word for money, pecunia- whence
our modern term pecuniary-was derived from
pecus, cattle.
Metal money was used, however, long be
fore the time of the Romans. AS far back
as the days of Abraham, the Egyptians used
gold and silver for currency. 1t was counted
by weight and not by face value.
The Hebrews had "jewel money in addi-
ton to shekels and talents and drachms Of
gold and silver. On the Egyptian tombs gold
is represented as being weighed in rings for
commercial purposes, rather an improvement
it may be considered on the earlier metal lump.
Before the introduction of coined money
into Greece, skewers or spikes of iron and
copper constituted the currency, six making
a drachm or handful. 80
This iron money continued in use among
the Spartans for many centuries, and Plutarch
tells us that to great quantity and weight
of this but small value was assigned, so
that to lay up ten minoe Ia little over thirty
one pounds sterling) whole room was re-
quired, and to remove it, nothing less than a
yoke Of oxen.
In certain parts of Central Africa, iron
spikes are still used after the Spartan fash
ion; and according to Adam Smith, it was
not so long ago that nails were used as a
subsidiary coin in Scotland. Hence, perhaps,
we obtain the term "ten-penny nail"|i. c.,
ten for penny.
During the commercial supremacy of Car
thage, the common currency used by her mer-

belts. N
The English, French and Dutch settlers scan az
used wampum, the value being liked IN lo4v
at six beads for penny. The strings Wers
called fathoms, and varied in value from hVel
to ten shillings.
Shell money has played quite an importanIt
part in the worlds commerce. ;, !he small
hard shell known as the ''cowry" Is used to-
day in India, the Indian Islands and AFRICA
in the place of subsidiary coin =.
In 1881 more than one thousand tons OF
these shells were brought from lnd1a @ TO Liver
pool to exchange for palm oil: Their Vane
in Bengal is thirty-two hundred to the .'pee'
or about seventy to the cent.
The list of what may be termed curious
money is an extensive one. Salt IS used IN
Abyssinia and whales teeth in the FeeJee Is
lands.
In some of the South Sea Islands red feath-
ers form the currency. Among the native
Australians greenstone and red ochre are used.
Temale slaves form the standard of value
in the retired districts of New Guinea.
In the rural parts of Norway, corn is used
for coin. Pieces Of silk pass as currency in
China, and cakes Of tea in Thibet. At the
great fairs of Lower Novgorod, In Russia tin
Is the accepted standard of value. In the
British West Indies, pins, a slice of bread,
pinch of snuff or dram of whisky, all have
a purchasing power, while on the African
coast, axes are the currency most in vogue
The strangest coin of all, however, is the
ideal money spoken of by Montesquieu as be-
ing found in certain parts Of Africa. This sing
ular currency is called "ma conte," but Is

It may be of interest to glance at some OF
the early forms of currency and at the strange
substitutes for money still in use among bar
barous people
The earliest substitute for coin current use
bv man is believed to have been the skins of
animals. This medium of exchange was en-
ployed by the ancient Russians and also by
the first settlers of this country.
Certain tribes of the Alaskan Indians today
use the pelts. of bears and foxes for currency.
The pastoral age succeeded the. hunting
age, and men began to use animals themselves
instead of their skins for circulating medi-
The animals principally employed were sheep
and oxen; their relative value being dcSermin'
ed by the ancient Romans at ten sheep for
one OK, which standard is still recognized
among the Mongol tribes Traces of this Gus
tom are still visible in the Irish and Icelandic
laws.
Among the early Teutonic races, fines were
often paid in cattle, and the Zulus and the
Kaffirs in this year of grace make use of this
old-time medium.
A direct link between this practice and the
use of metal coins for money is found in the
currency of the early Romans, who used

TO OBSERVE MOST HOLY
 DAY OF JEWISH YEAR

:, Tom Kippur. the day of atonement. the most sacred day in the Jewish calendar, will be observe1 by the members of Temple Beth-Or on We'd nesday with fasting and a strict ab- sence from all business.
 The main idea or central thought of Tom Kippur is that God forgives sins. The Jewish idea of sin is different from the conception held by persons of other faiths. 1t Is that sin is purely personal and each man lives in his own world; he therefore must make a personaF appeal for the forgiveness of his sins of the past.
 Tom Kippur is also period of self examination. Each man should take account of his actions of the past year and find out where he has fallen short of the standards of life and the high ideals set down by the prophets.
 The day Is observed by a total ab- stainence from food of any kind, 1t having been found that such abstain ence is very material aid to spir- duality.
 There will be a sermon at Temple Beth-Or Tuesday evening at 6:30 o'clock, when pr. Ehrenreich will take as his subject ''The call to the Reformed Jew"
 "Wednesday morning services at the Temple will commence at 10 o'clock and last throughout the day. At 12 o'clock pr. Ehrenreich will preach on the subject "Sin and Penitence."
