The Earliest Money.

The earliest money was probably
shells or strips of bark. Skins ap-
pear very early as medium of ex-
change. Later on sheep, oxen and
other sort of cattle were used as the
measure of value. With the advent
of agriculture the products of the
farm were sometimes made to be
value units. So late as the early
colonial times in Virginia tobacco
was used as currency. Eventually
the metals iron, silver and gold be-
came the almost universally recog,
nized money of civilized and semi,
civilized peoples, iron taking the
lead in point of time.-New York

AFTER The BALL.
caIifornia's First Clearing House was
Not Financial One.

CALIFORNIA; First Clearing House Was
Not a Financial One.
The meaning Of the term "clear-
ing house" may not perhaps be IA
miliar to all people outside of bank
ing and commercial circles. An in
cident which occurred during our
civil war may give a clear though
homely idea of what clearing
house is.
The occasion was in 1864, when
the citizens of San Francisco gave
the famous Russian ball" to the Of
fcers of the Russian fleet of war
ships in San Francisco's harbor,
which had been sent to the federal
government by the emperor of Rus
sia to the assistance of the northern
states in that war.
That ball was the most brilliant
affair of its kind that has ever taken
place in California. 1t was attend
ed by the governor and all the state
and municipal officers, the members
of the supreme and superior courts,
all the foreign consuls and the otti-
GERS of the army and navy within
reach of San Francisco, besides
many of the old and wealthy Span
ish families from southern Califor-
MIA. all handsomely dressed and re-
splendent in diamond ornaments.
The large hall was splendidly dec
grated with Russian and American
flags intwined. The flags of the for
eign consuls and lines of cages of
singing canary birds were hung
around the gallery. A military
band and string band supplied the
music. On the stage of the hall
were stacks of arms and accouter-
ments of war, while the rich dresses
of the ladies and the uniforms OF
the officers of the navy and army,
together with the grand official re-
gala of the foreign consuls, made
It a scene of splendor and wonder
and delight to the Russian sailors.
After the supper, which was serv-
ed in keeping with the rest OF the
ball, the Russian officers, the con-
suls and many of the guests OF hon,
or retired, but "the dance went on
Soon afterwatd it was seen that the
walters in the hat room had become
confused in their deliveries, and
gentlemen, finding their hat checks
useless, were obliged to go inside
and search for themselves, which
resulted in soon covering the fool
with articles of clothing, from which
each man took that which tittet
him best and went home.
The following day a notice ap
| peared in the newspapers inviting
all persons who had lost their over
| coats or hats and had taken Others
instead to return them to place
designated in the notice and receive
their own. The result of this NOV
was success, for every man wh'
| had lost his own and had brough
| the article he had taken recovered
that which belonged to him, tn
writer being one Of them. This
then, was CALIFORNIA; first clear
ing house, though not a fnancia
one, in SO far as the basic principl
of the bankers clearing house j
concerned.-Los Angeles Times.

ter of law enforcement. The
state law .forbids certain recrea-
tions on Sunday, but the young
people indulge all the same, and
there is no officer or court to see
to it that the law is enforced. 1t
seems that public sentiment in
favor of Sunday ball playing is
stronger than the law forbidding
it. Public sports on Sunday will
continue as long as sentiment fa-
vors the same, but if the public
conscience earnestly protested a.
gainst Sunday games, officers
would be found willing and able
to enforce the law.
There is too much laxity to o.
bedience to law. And certainly
too little regard for the public
welfare. Ball playing on Sum
day is not worse than many 9TH
er forms of Sunday desecration.
The Young men who do the play
ing are no more culpable than
the hundreds who go out to wit
ness the playing. Indeed, the
spectators are the ones who en-
courage the thing. If the young
people were allowed to go to the
country to play without the crowd
of onlookers, they would have
much less zest for going or play
ing. 1t is the thrOng that gives
it interest. And who are the
spectators? They are the respect
able citizens of Greenville, men
and women, many of them, pro-
bably, fathers and mothers, and,
perhaps, members of churches.
AS long as hundreds of such
people 90 to witness a few young
lads playing ball on Sunday, de-
pend upon it, the thing will con-
tinue.
The young men know the law,
and know that Sunday playing is
a violation, but they see in the
hundreds, of spectators an en-
couragement to keep up the en-
tertainment.
What, then, should be done?
We think Christian people might
accomplish more good by not in
voking the law. If we can not
prevail by the moral forces we
confess our weakness. Ply the
moral forces and eventually the
victory will be on the side OF
Sunday rest and quiet.
Probably the pulpit should en-
deavor to enlighten the people in
regard to Sunday obligations.
We need more preaching on the
question, not the denunciation OF
those who differ with us in ideas
and practises, but a rational pre-
sentation of the subject-the u
tility and beauty of Sunday ob-
servance. This will not at once
stop all Sunday violations, but it
will create a moral sentiment fa-
vorable to a Christian Sunday.
It seems necessary at this time
to intensity the religious feeling
in the community. We are not
sufficiently in earnest about the
life that is life indeed. Pleasure
seeking is much too prevalent.
Church members, many Of them,
devote Sunday afternoon to rid
ing around in their motor cars,
others go visiting, or go out to
see their farms, as if Sunday
was a mere pleasure day.
Does the pulpit protest sutti-
GENTLY against such things!
Now, as long as there is such
general laxity on the part OF pa
rents and churches, we may ex-
pect the young people to have
their Sunday pleasures, too.
We are not trying to justify
the Sunday ball playing, but In

You old comrades, don't you re-
member how Col. Bryant swore
when we got back behind the
twentyone pieces Of our artillery
massed? Some of the boys
coughed up at Chickamauga, but
when the seven lines Of Confed-
crates came after us through the
broom grass and got too close to
our artillery, then a slaughter
occurred. Twentyone pieces of
artillery throwing grape and
canister soon moved the lines
down and the Confederates that
were left soon went back to their
main line of works. Then for
three days we pounded them and
during the night of March 21,
1866, they stole away under cov-
er of darkness and soon after
Joe Johnston surrendered his ar
my to w. T. Sherman. Your
readers will pardon US for these
"reminiscences, although over two
score years have passed, that
field of carnage is still vivid to
those who were there. We Of

how many who went from Green

their return in '65. Whether 1

The fruit crop is not injured,
but cherries are few on the trees.
Our schools will soon be out
and the sweet girl graduate is
nearly ready to read her essay
and some of the young men are
keeping their papas home of
nights hearing them repeat their
declamations. Oh, what stars
are just rising in the armament
of oratory!
Last week we had a street car

Say, Bell is looking better than

Several divorce cases come up
this term of court in our city.
What a pity it is that the law of

by divorce when one house is
sufficient for pyrotechnics of one
family.
In a few days some of the sa-
looms here will quit, and the time
is soon coming when, if we want
a drink, we will have to hunt out
the blind tigers or chin some
comrade with large boots on.
What will we do for nightcaps
and appetizers then? We will
have to return to cold water,

disease germs. Then quinia and
hydrazia will come in play again.
