WHEN CUTS MEAN CASH.

THE days of our age are threescore
years and ten," said the Psalmisl'
showing that our forefathers reckohed
bv scores, a system of keeping account
of figures based probably in its orig
inal form upon the practice OF COUNT
ing upon the fingers and toes.
The word score" itself comes from
the Anglo-Saxon, being nothing more
than the word "scoren,' which is the
mast narticiple of mountaineering
10 cut, II indicated a notch or incisloh
made upon tally stick for the pur-
pose of keeping a record of financial
transactions.
The "score-mark" was the twentieth
notch upon these primitive account
hooks cut which was longer ana
deeper than the others. Hence the eH-
pression, ito pay off old scores
means not only the repayment OF OLD
debts. but the revenging OF grievances
which have cut deep and left latsing
impression.
II is for the same reason. that vi
reckoning. that We speak OF the
"soore" of a game-meaning therecord
of the points made-and the score OF
musical record of an opera.
