Mumblv Peo.


Every lad knows how to play mum
bly, peg by heart or can easily learn.
Two or three boys can best play to-
gether. and all they need are suitable
soft ground and a good jackknife.
The game has sometimes twenty.
four movements. and skillful players
can perform nearly all the different
feats, always gaining the two fingers.
which make fair "stick." Every
player in turn goes through as many
plays as he can till he completes the
circuit. The boy who loses used to
pay the penalty by pulling, two inc b
peg out of the ground. This feature
has been completely dropped in recent
years and many of the old movements
left out.
The game. however. has lost none of
its interest. and good players are able
to stick the knife In the ground from
all difficult positions. These include
dropping the knife from different
parts of the body and sometimes
throwing it over the head. Boys must
be careful when playing the game and
give the player plenty of room. All
boys are familiar with the different
feats they must perform with the
knife to win the game.

How Money Came to Be Used.

7oW money Came to Be Used.
1t was somewhere between the
years $50 and 546 b. q. that money in
the form of gold and silver coins came
into use in Lydia. an ancient country
of Asia Minor. Croesus was the mon
arch who introduced the system of
coinage, gold being held as more val
liable in the proportion of three to
four. It is said that Darius OF Per
STA soon adopted the idea of such a
medium. as it simplified trade.
The Greeks issued their first metal
coin some time during the seventh
century B. O., and the entire civilized
world had adopted the money system
in the fourth century B. c.. Up to
the death of Alexander the Greek
coins bore on them sacred subjects in
the form Of some deity. Coins OF
Miletus bear lion: those Of Eretria
show a cow and a sucking calf; those
Of Cyzicus show funny fish. All
these were symbols of goddesses. But
coins issued under the empire bear the
imperial bust on one side and some
sacred emblem on the other. Green
coins have been of valuable assistance
to scholars in systematizing Greek
mythology.
