GREEKS FIRST TO USE COINS
Originates in the Custom Of Marking
Gold lngots to Guarantee
Weight ard Purity.

The invention OF coinage is due to
the Greeks most probably to the bank
ers OF Halicarnnssos and adjacent Asia
Minor Greek colonies. who towaro the
end OF the eighth century b. c. began
stamping the small gold and elec ron
ingots which passed through heir
hands as currency with a marx Of
some sort intended to guarantee the
weight and purity OF the metal s1ch
ingots very soon assumed q rounu and

European Greeks were in constant
communication. political or CONNER

which at present seems to US of such
obvious necessity that we scarcely
realize how the civilized world OF old
could have got on without it, AS a
matter on fact. however, neither the
Phoenicians, with their practical com
mercial sense, nor the Lydians or the
Persians who claimed the supremacy
over the cities where the new cur.
rency was initiated, nor of course the
Egyptians ever had coinage, till the
conquests of Alexander disseminated
the Greek civilization all through the
eastern world. The Romans came to
know 1t through the Greek cities in
Sicily and Magma Grecia, and began
striking silver coins toward the begin

their coins remain forever standard

PRESSED HARD
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the in
furious effects of coffee and the change
in health that Postum can bring, they
the benefit of others.
A superintendent of public schools
in one Of the southern states says:
My mother, since her early child
hood, was on inveterate coffee drinker
had been troubled with her heart for a
number of years and complained of
that weak all over feeling and sick
stomach.
Some time ago was making an Off
cial visit to distant part of the coun.
try and took dinner with one OF the
merchants of the place. | noticed
somewhat peculiar favour of the cof-
fee, and asked him concerning ii. He
replied that 1t was Postum.
Il was so pleased with it, that after
the meal was over, l bought package
to carry home with me, and had wife
prepare some for the next meal. The
whole family were so well pleased
with 1t, that we discontinued coffee
and used Postum entirely.
Il had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition. but we noticed that after using
Postum for short time, she felt so
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not so frequent. and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was as we'll
and hearty as the rest of us.
Il know Postum has benefited my
self and the other members OF the
family, but not in so marked de-
gree as in the case of my mother, as
she was victim of long standing"

SEEMED APPROPRIATE TO HER

One day last winter a feeble Irish
woman called upon us for aid. The
case sounded urgent, so ! went with
her at once. Everything was just as
she had stated. Her husband was
very Ill. she was too old and feeble
to work. their children we're dead,
there was no fire and their only food
was bread which their neighbors, al
most as poor as they, had given them.
] asked her why she had not come to
us before and she replied that she
had appealed to the church and to
several individuals without success.
Thin she went on, "Oi whit to tn

day School Scholar.

A young Philadelphia Sunday school
teacher tells this story of the result
of an attempted application of the
principles of economies:
For some time she had endeavored
to impress upon the minds of one of
her charges the names of the three
qualities. faith, hope, and charity. One
Sunday she presented the pupil OF the
poor memory with three new shining
coins, penny, a five-cent piece. and
a dime.
THE penny" she said, represents
faith. the five-cent piece hope. and the
dime charity. Keep these coins and
every time you look at them think Of
what they stand for"
The Sunday following the teacher
reviewed the lesson of the week be-
fore, and called upon the holder OF the
coins to produce them and give their
names in proper sequence. The
youngster shuffied from one leg to the
other, stammered, blushed and seemed
altogether overcome with mortifica-
ton. Finally he burst out with:
Please, Miss Fanny, amt got
