A REPENTED HEROISM.
It was not poor Ethel's fault, in the
least. She could not prevent Tom Ken
dall loving her any more than ishe could
help being the dimpled, merry little body
that she was. Tom could not have told
you when he began to care for her, be
cause as far back as he could remember
Ethel had been the prettiest girl in the
world to hirn.
Only a low garden wall separated the
two houses, and it was quite natural that
Tom should come over it every day. It
was a little shorter way than around by
the gate, he w ould say ; and Ethel gazed
admiringly at him as he cleared the wall
at a bound. It was lonesome at home for
hiin wita only the old housekeeper and
bis father, and they did not take the in
terest which Ethel did in kites and dead
insects.
Tom's mother had died in giving birth
to him ; so he had never known the ten
der words and loving touches for which,
in his childish way, he had unconscious
ly hungered. His father, a sombre, stu
dious man, lost all his interest in the
world in losing the one woman who un
dorstooll him and brightened his home
like a sunbeam. Though he was very
fond of Tom, and kind to him, in hisown
quiet way, yet the child stood a little in
aweofhim and gave his father none of
the childish confidences or merry chatter
which might have roused the silent
man.
They were not rich ; but Mr. Kendall
had a small income from certain proper
ties he owned, on which they lived ; the
father among his books and studies, and
the son growing up, as children will. It
is a way they have.
Ethel's mother was a widow, and very
wealthy. ISesides being the only daugh
ter, Ethel was an heiress in her own right
and would be mistress of a larje fortune
as soon as she reached the se of twenty
two. Mrs. Van Zandt was fully alive to
the iraortance of her daughter's pros
pects, but the thought of money never
troubled either Tom or Ethel.
As they both grew older, however, and
Ethel was almost eighteen, the unpleas
ant fact became evident to Tom that
Mrs. Van Zandt disliked him. He had
not noticed it as a child ; perhaps the dis
like was only passive then perhaps not
there at all ; but it certainly seemed to
be there now. Her bow was frigid, her
manner icy ; the dear little drawingrootn
had lost its coziness for him.
And now, unknown to Tom, the worst
had happened. Mrs. Van Zandt had for
bidden Ethel to have anything further
to do with him, and Ethel had heard the
edict in silence. Accustomed to obey,
her silence was taken foi assent ; and
Mrs. Nan Zand t congratulated herself on
the management with which she had
settled the little affair.
And noorTom! he could not under
hand, at first, why all his invitations
were refused by Ethel ; why she was no
longer "at home" to him ; no iniore de
lightful little strolls: no more rides.
What was the matter? There was only
nni. solution of the mystery, and that was
one which he did not like to discuss even
with himself.
One moonlight evening Ethel had gone
down to the garden, and there, leaning
on the little wall, was Tom. ' She started
back, but he called to her to imploringly
that she half hesitated, and ther. was
lost ; fur in anot'ier moment she, too,
w as leaning on the garden fence.
" Oh, Tom, Tom," she whispered, u I
must go back 1 must !"
" Now see here, Ethel," he said, half in
command, half entreaty, " w hat is the
matter with you, anyhow ? Lately you
refuse to see me ; you run aw ay h i come
in sight, and now you are unwilling even
to speak to me. No I shall not let you
go till you tell me. Out w ith it
And as the dismal story was told Tom

gently, and then the wretch laughed ac
tually laughed, the looked up at mm in
surprise.
" Ik) not be angry, Ethel," he said. "Of
course it is rather serious ; but do you
think it will stop my loving you ? Why,
Ethel, dear, nothing ort earth can do
that. I wish, though, I had known this
sooner, although I have suspected as
much from the first. I shall set my wits
to work at once, Ethel, and we'll see. So
don't cry ; certainly you must obey your
mother as well.as yoa can ; but I have
not made any promise to her, nor do I
intend to give you up. We'll see !"
And a little later, ss Ethel went soWy
op stairs, she thought to herself how wise
and brave be was.
The dav was glorious ; the salt breath
of the sea swept over the yacht ; the gulls
dipped and rose ; the little craft danced
along yes, it was a glorious day. The
gay party on deck was enjoying it to the
utmost, and the laughter and chat min
gled with the plash of the white-capped
waves.
Ethel leaned against the railing, and
watched the ripples gliding by. Very

lovely she wag looking, in the soft, crea
my folds of her yachting costume, with
the bars of gold across it, and the white
wings in the little sailor hat. Lord Fen
all at her side, gized at ber in approval,
and considered her an awfully jolly little
girl. He had met her that day for the
first time, and bad immediately surren
dered. All the morning he bad monop
olized .her, and Mrs. Van Zandt, at a
distance, was watching ths performance
with great satisfaction.
Already, in her mind's eye, she saw
herself installed as mother-in-law in Lord
Fenyll'g magnificent country house ; she
saw herself seated in his beautiful car
riage, smiling and bowing to congratula
ting friends, bhe beheld, in fancy, bis
famous town house filled with her own
guests ; slie saw and the rose colored
vision floated quite plainly before her
eyes, blotting out the sea, and the sky,
the .ship, and the scenes on deck. Mrs.
Van Zandt ! sd dozed off very comforta
bly. .
It is possible that her slumbers would
not have been so peaceful had she beheld
the next act in the drama, My Lord, in
his eagerness to fetcbi Miss Van Zandt a
cup of chocolate, as be returned neglect
ed his usual caution in holding on, so
that the unlucky man, ere he reached
her, has succeeded in distributing the en
tire contents of the cup over her jaunty
yachting suit The deck was crowded,
and even politeness could not restrain an
audible smile. His retreat was as pre
cipitate as his entrance.
LHere was Tom's thance. He had been
hovering in the diitance like a bird of
prey, and now he swooped down on
Ethel with alacrity. His face was wreath
ed in smiles as he half coaxed, half com
pelled her to follow kirn to a corner where
for the present they could be compara
tively alone.
" But, Tom," she pleaded, " mamma
she is watching ine. I can't stay
here."
"Just wait a minute," he bftgan, im
peratively. " I have been trying to speak
to you all day, and thu glass-eyed little
cad would not give any one else a chance.
You must listen to me for a moment. I
have an idea-i-a thought. I have evolved
a plan which is really a stroke of geni
us." And then, abruptly, "Ethel, is
your mother fond of ysu ?"
" Why, yes, of course "with a look
of surprise.
" But I mean very fund. What would
she do if she were t lose you if you
were drowned, for instance ?"
She looked at him askance.
" Tom," she said, Ruidenly, " you look
sane, but you do not art so. What is the
matter with you ? is tie the sea breeze
too much for you ?"
" Ethel, do you love me ?" he queried,
irrelevantly.
All the laughter had left his face, and
she saw only the ptssionate love and
magnetism in his blue eyes deeply,
darkly blue they were now, almoet black.
She turned a little pile, her quick breath
came yet more quickly. Ilia face was
very near hers ; so near that a wanton
breeze blew a strap tendril across his
cheek.
' You know it," she paid, simply.
Was that a kiss? The sea gulls could
have told, but they lever did.
" Then, Ethel," hesaid, "I have a way.
It is a little dangerous ; I will not deny
that. If you love me, dear, as well as I
do you, you will not Jear."
The band in his trembled slightly, but
she made no protest.
" I cannot give you np. This ia a des
perate remedy, but desperate cases need
such. I am going to make a heroine of
you. You must fall over the rail into the
water "
" Tom !" she gasped, staring at him
with wide eyes.
" Yes wait You must fall into the
water, you see, and then I'll jump over
and save your life. It will be easy. As
soon as you fall, I will be overboard, too.
Do not be afraid to trust yourself to me ;
there is really not much danger, becaus
I can swim as well as I can walk. It is
the only way, dear, believe me. You are
not afraid ?"
She considered a little.
" I see, Tom ; yon think mamma will
be so glad to have me brought back to
life that she will will let us have our
way."
"Yes, that is just exactly it," he
agreed.
" But, oh, is there not some other way ?
This is reckless, it is "
Well, Ethel," he said, " I can see no
other way. I shall be sure to save you,
and then then, little girl, you are mine
for always."
" But, Tom," she urged, "suppose mam
ma will not yield then ?"
"She will, though, he asserted, confi
dently. Something ot his own daring spirit in
fected her. The spice of danger, her full
confidence in his ability, their long love,
otherwise hopeless she made no further
objection, but entered heart and soul
into the wild scheme.
" How am I to know when to fall ?"
"You must find your opportunity
Scream as you fall, and then away I will
go. I shall be very near you all the re
mainder of the day ; but do not notice
me at all. You will be very careful, so
that no one may see that the fall w as

But she was gone.
Slowlv nassed the day. Luncheon was
over two hours ago, and the afternoon
was sliPDine on. In the saloon the tin
kle of a guitar mingled with the sound
of merriment and singing ; only a scat
tered few were left on deck. Watching
the waters were Ethel and the inevita
ble Lord Fenyll.with his inevitable eye
glass ; she could not get rid of him ; the
miserable young man was too infatuated
to perceive her abstraction.
Little by little she drew near to part
of the boat where she thought she might
make the dreaded plunge most easily.
Tom, in the shadow of a sail, appear
ed to be absorbed in a novel. No one,
not even himself.knew that the book
was upside down. Ethel stole a glance
at him. Will he be in time? she won
dered, in an agony of fear and anxiety.
How blue the water was and how
deep! What if but no! no! she would
not think of that Now was the time,
sha decided, feverishly.
" Is that not a sail. Lord Fenyl?" she
asked.
"A sail ! In which direction V

Eagerly he took np his telescope. This
was just the opportunity she wanted.
Slowly he swept the boriion with the
glass.
" Why, yes," he says, " I see it quite
plainly. I can even read the name on
oh, Miss Van Zandt ! Help ! help !"
With a shriek of terror she had disap
peared over the Bide ; only one terrified
scream, but ,in an instant the deck was
filled with eager, frightened faces.
Lord Fenyll was rushing from one end
of the place to the other, dragging with
him ail immense coil of rope, tangling
up himself and every one else, crying
out the awful accident at the top of his
voice.
Mrs. Van Zandt and another lady had
feinted ; the gnyety had vanished ; all
was confusion and haste.
Tom saw nothing of this. He was in
the water before the echo of her voice
had died away on the startled ai". With
firm, rapid strokes he beat the waves,
and his eyes were alert to catch the first
glimpse. The sun glared into his face,
but he did not find her. His heart fail
ed him. God! he could not see her!
Why did she not rise? "Ethel!" he
cried aloud in a frenzy. But what was
that white speck yonder? Could he
reach it ? A moment more only a mo
ment mote; with ebbing power, as the
white face came to the surface, he threw
one arm around the body. His strength
all but exhausted, he was taken with
his lifeless charge into the boat lowered
to meet him. The glad news about shout
ed to the waiting yacht, and willing help,
was ready to greet the rescued and res-
ter.
The little figure in its clinging white
seemed devoid of life. The soft baby
curls around her forehead clustered dark
ly golden ; the large drops had slipped off
one by one, till there was little pools on
tha floor. Pale and pure and still as
death itself she was ah ! pitifully still.
The red, laughing lips were pallid now
the soft, white hands limp and inert.
"Mv girl, my little girl !" moaned and
sobbed Mrs, Van Zandt, and while they
talked in undertones, and while tears
fell, they took her below, and toiled for
hours to summon back the wavering
Tom unnappv 10m was ine neru vi
the hour. But he could not be quiet.
He could not wait in patience. Great
waves of remorse filled bis breast, till
he great drops stood out upon his fore
head and his lips whitened. The dull
boom of the sea seemed to roar in his
ears ; he felt that lifeless body still living
psssive in bis arms. Never again to see
her smile, never again to hear her voice,
with its gentle, tender accent ; never
ah, no ! It could not be too late she
must not die !
Vp and down, outside the door, he
paced, listening to each sound, wrestling
with his misery, praying to God as he
never prayed before.
Fdddenly the door opened again and
Mrs. Van Zandt herself came out.
He dropped into a chair and hid his
face in his hands. He heard her com
ing directly toward hitn to tell him
what? And then Mrs. Van Zandt's
arms were around his neck, she was call
ing him her dear boy, her hero ; she
was thanking him through tears and
sobs. He a hero ! he could have laugh
ed aloud bitterly at the mockery of it.
She was telling him that Ethel had come
back to them ; she was awake again ;
she wanted to see him would he come?
With a choking in his throat he made
his way to where his little love was ly
ing. Mrs. Van Z.tndt softly closed the
door, and they were alone.
White she was like a bent lily ; the
damp yellow hair lay over the pillow
and brushed back from her white fore
head, where his eyes saw the mark of a
cruel bruise, a blow as she fell : bus her
lips were smiling, and one hand was out
stretched to him. He could not take it;
he sank on his knees at her side.
Ethel, sweetheart, can you forgive
me? he groaned, ana witn tne woras
the floodgates were swept away, and he
sobbed aloud. "Ethel, it was almost
death it would have been murder, and
I your murderer !"
"Tom, Tom," she whispered, weakly,
"do not frighten me so. I am not dead ;
I will soon be well now."
Forgive me, Ethel ; say you forgive
me!" She stroke gently the brown head
buried in the pillows.
"Yes, Tom, I forgive you."
And then he raised his haggard face
at last, and a great pity swept over her
tender heart Both hands were out
stretched to him now,and as he took her
reverently in his arms, she murmured,
so Uintiy that he could barely hear it
"And I love you, dear, dear Tom !"
Something-to Avoid.
A little personal pique, a bit of wound
ed vanity, a sudden flame of anger often
undoes the most substantial and faithful
work, and unllifies the most intelligent
and wie action. It is one of the painful
things in experience that effort if often
defeated by these small, purely personal,
and often momentary feelings, which are
generally unintelligent and unwis. Liie
would be freed from some of its most
painful features if men always acted t
each other on a basis of real justice and
intelligence, and left their small personal
feelings and prejudices out of sight. A
man's work cught to be judged by itself
and for itself alone, and the strength of
a man's position ought to rest solely up
on what he is abl to do. And yet most
of us are constantly neutralizing the best
work of others because it is not done in
our way, and are constantly failing to do
justice to others because of some small
nersonal prejudice against them, ine
really strong, clear-sighted man is the
man who is able to put himself out or
the ouestion and to judge others by what
they really are and do, not by their re
lations to him. In this working world
their is neither time nor strength to be
always coddling our small vanities and
still smaller prejudices. The orld does
not stand in order that we may be pleas
ed. It stands as a place for the doing of
honest work in the best way, and if that
work can be better done in some other
way than the one we prefer, our business
i. rn let it he done and reoiice in it If
you wish to see things clearly, and to be
just with your fellow-men, keep clear of
the fumes of vanity and the thick atmos-
rjhere of mere personal feeling. Make it
a rule to see what a man is and dots, and
to value him by these things. A person
may be very distasteful to us and yet be
eminently useful and successful in the

, Compensations.
News came that a baby had been born
in the Nelson household, a dear little
girl, with blue eyes, but alas ! with a
misihappen foot which would cause her
to limp all her life. When grandma read
the message, she weat to her own room
without a word, and the young aunts,
busied themselves with their work, look
ing suspicionsly moist about the eyes.
That night, however, Edith Lee came
limping in with her two crutches, and
was told all about it, bacAuse she was
the dear family friend and knew all the
home secrets.
"And you feel dreadfully about it,
don't you?" asked she, pating one of
grandma's withered hands.
"Yes, my dear, we do, how could we
help it?"
"Shn will suffer so!" "It will be so
hard for her when she grows up !" said
the aunts, mournfully.
"Now, my dears, just listen to me,"
said cheerful I'd ith, "She will be sorry,
and sometimes mortified when she re
members she's not like others, but she
will have a great many compensations.
"Look at me ! I've stumped through
life on helpless limbs, and the conse

pull up their horses to let me crosj the

Three Men Who Thought
A young assistant of chemistry in the
Boston Institute of Technology happened
some years ago to be in the northern pe
ninsula of Michigan. While there he
observed that the Portage river and Lake
Lindon were of a peculiar coppery color,
and when asked the ciuse was told that
it was copper that escaped from the
smelting and stamping niiiis of the Cal
umet and Hecla mines. The young
teacher put his thinking-cap on and then
requested the company to allow him to
experiment with a view to saving this
copper. The company was only too glad
to offer facilities, so the young man gave
up his summer vacation and set to work
and was able to divise a method by
which about 4 per cent of the copper
mined was saved, and almost pure cop
per, too. The young professor no longer
earns a trilling salary but has acquired a
comfortable income by this summer's
labors.
Some years ago a mechanic near Nuw
Haven was riding in a railway train and
was jolted and jarred as in the early days
of railway travel, passengers were apt to
be. He didn't fret and fume as the other
passengers did, but began to study and
experiment with a view to making a
spring that would reduce the jolting to a
minimum. He at last succeeded and his
spring was adopted by every railroad in
the country. His name is Carlos French
and he has just been elected to congress

There died a few days ago in Water
bury a man who began liie in the nar

of a machinist, and he gave his whole

wire manufacturers by producing a cold
reducing machine by which wire was
drawn cold. Seeing, one day, a woman
fretting because she had pricked her fin

Tranlng of the Voice.
Sir Morell Mackenzie said in a recent
London lecture that the training of the
voice in ancient times was considered to
be of great importance. Quintillicn said
that, " Before all, nurses should speak
properly. The boy would hear them
first and would try to shape his words
by imitating them." A speaker should
not hear his voice too loudly. Singers
should avoid tobacco, alcohol, and fiery
condiments. With regard to miraculous
effects of various drinks he thought they
were mostly harmless, havin a good
mental or moral effect on those who used
them, but as a rule, he was of opinion
that a single glass of water sutliceed.
Smoking took away the delicacy of tone ;
by its use the powers of co-ordination
were lost It was absolutely esnentiat
that dramatic people should lead most
careful and regular lives. A sieging
voice register might be described as a
series of tone of like quality produced by
a particular adjustment of the vocal
chords to receive the air-blast from the
lung. Perfect utterance of certain vow
els could only be produced when the
mouth cavity had a certain shape both
as regards length and breadth, or, in oth
er words, on certain notes.

Generosity Rewarded.
Y'oung Mr. De B. is a broker, and, like
most men of his walk of life, generously
disposed. As he left his office one day
last week he was accosted by a rough
looking, raggedly dressed man, who re
quested the gift of fifty cents, with which
to purchase a dinner.
" Why should I give yon fifty cents for
your dinner?" ahked young Mr. De B.
What claim have you upon me ?''
" None," said the begi-ar. " That is,
no more than the hungry and penniless
always have upon .thosu who have
something to spare."
"Do I look as though I had something
to spare ?"
" You are a broker," returned the alms
seeker. " I never knew a broker who
had nothing to spare to a hungry man."
" Why don't you go to work ?"
" I may have to if you decline to as
sist me."
"That is strange. What is your
work T
" I'll tell you ; I am a pickpocket, and
I have just this afternoon been discharg
ed from prison. I have no money ; no
friends. I am, as I have Baid, hungry.
You see what I am brought to. Starva
tion or crime. If I can get a good din
ner I may be able to stave off the other
alternative for awhile."
Young Mr. De B. was impressed nat
urally so, I think. Putting his hand in
to bis trousers pocket he drew forth a
half dollar and handed it tolhe ex-convict.
"There," hesaid, "there is your din
ner. I f-hall tie glad it I can save you
from crime, even for a little w hile."
At this yi nng Mr. De B. started on his
way, but the beggar was at his elbow.
" I say, my friend," said he.
" Well ?"
"Would you mind telling mo the
time?"
" There is the clock in Trinity stee
ple." " I know that ; but your time what
is it ?"
Impatiently Mr. De P.. fe!t for his
watch. It was gone.
" I have been robbed !" he cried.
" Precisely," said the ex-convict, "and
here is your watch," taking it from the
pocket of his greasy coat " I took it
while you were hesitating about giving
me half dollar. The Lord helps them
that help themselves, but he also helps
them as helps others. Take your watch.
I don't need it. You got it cheap."
And so saying the beggar turned and
walked down the street, and was soon
lost to view.
Then young Mr. De B., replacing his
timepiece in his pocket, sauntered home
ward, thinking deeply all the while, and
thankiug his stars that, being a broker,
he was, like most men in his walk, gen
erously disposed. Clttittrr.
Wearing Out Cows.
Some old fogies have an i.Iear that high
feeding, as they call it but w hat sensible
men call full feeding, exhausts the vitali
ty and energy of a cow, causing her to
wear out sooner than she would on a
short diet Possibly a cow may be over
fed, but it will be difficult to make her
eat more than sh wants to or needs, if
she is fed regularly. A starved cow
might gorge herself to her injury, but a
cow that has regularly as much to eat as
she wants, will not injure herself by eat
ing, no matter how much is giyen her.
As to exhausting her, it strikes us that
she will hold out much longer, as well as
do much better, if she is fed up to her
full capacity. A man on half rations
would wear out and break down much
sooner than if he had fjll rations. The
same ia true of a milch cow or of a work
animal. There is nothing giined by a
starvation diet. It doe? not prolonge,
b it shortens lite. Suppose, however, it
shortens life, would there not be more
profit in a large yield fora fewyears than
in a small yield for double the number
of years? The s.-nall yield might not
pay cost while the large yield would
afford a profit. The longer the cow is
kept at a loss, the greater is the total
loss. It used to be thought that there
was profit in keeping pigs in a half-starved
condition for a year or fifteen months
and then fatten them. But pig raisers
have become wiser, and now kep the
pig growing from the start, and tiie
him weigh at the end of a few month
about as much as he rued to when a year
older. They get the same result in less
time and with less feed. So a cow kept
in a thriving condition gives a larger
return in less time, and is the-efore more
profitable Dj not be afraid of wwariug
out or exhausting a cow by giving her
anough to eat, because she consequently
gives more milk. Keep her at her best.

Peculiar Currency.
Tuere was a time when neither coin
not even meta'3 in the rouh was in use
m'it; mankind as a circulating me
dium, says G'J'lm fny. Numismatic,
as a rule go no further back than siX or
900 years before the Christian era, to the
stamped piece uf metal used by the
aeksand Lydians.
It may be of interest to glance at some
of tha early forms of currency and at the
strange substitutes for money still in use
among barbarous people.
The earliest substitute for coin current
V-d by man is believed to have been
the skins of animals. This medium - f
exchange was employed by the ancient
Russians and also by the first settlers cf
this country. Certain tribes of the Alas
kan Indians to-day use the pelts of bears
and foxes for currency.
The pastoral age succeeded the hunt
ing age, and men began to use animals
themselves instead of their skins for a
circulating medium.
The animals principally employed were
sheep and oxen, their relative value be
ing determined by the ancient Uoaians
at ten sheep for one ox, which standard
is still recognized among the Mongolian
tribes. Traces of this, custom are still
visible in the Irish and Icelandic laws.
Among the early Teutonic races fines
were often paid in cattle, and the Zuli.s
and Katlirs in thia year of grace make
use of this old time medium.
A direct link between this practice and
the use of metal coins for money ia foun d
in the currency of the early Romans, who
used the pieces of brass clipped off from
a mass.
Later, in the time of .serviiis TuHus,
the brass was coined and marked with
the figure of an ox. An interesting little
bit of et mologii-al lore is connected with
this custom, for the. Latin word for mon
ey, ptcunia w hence our modern term
pecuniary was derived from pecus,
cattle.
Metal money was used, however, long
before the time of the Kjmatis. As far
back as the time of Abraham the Egypt
ians used gold and silver for currency.
It was counted by weight and not by
face value.
The Hebrews had "jewel money" in
addition to shekels, and talents, and
drachms of gold and silver. On the
Egyptian tombs gold is represented aa
being weighed in tings for commercial
purpose ; rather an improvement on the
earlier metal lump.
Before the introductinn of coined mon
ey into Greece, skewers or spikes of iron
and copper constituted the currency, six
making a drachm or handful.
Thia iron money continued in use
among the Spartans for many centuries
and Plutarch tells us that to a great
quantity and weight of this but a small
value was assigned, so that to lay up 1)
min e (a little over "lla whole room
was required, and to remove it nothing
less than a yos of oxen.
In certain parts of central Africa iron
spikes are still used after the Spartan
fashion ; and, according to Adam Smith,
it was not so long ago that nails were
nsed as a subsidary coin in Scotland.
Hence, perhaps, we obtain the term "ten
penny nail" i. e. ten for a penny.
During the commercial supremacy of
Cartilage the common currency nsed by
ber sailors, both in their trade at home
and with foreign nations, was pieces of
leather stamped with the arms of the
powerful republic.
The currency of the Aztecs consisted
of transparent quills of gold dust, of bits
of tin cut in the form of a T, and b igs of
cocoa containing a secitied number of
grains.
"Blessed money !" exclaims theold an
nalist Peter Martyr, "which excepts tho
pofflessor from avarice, since it rtnnot 1
long hoarded or hidden under ground.''
The earliest coinage in America wns
the famous "hog money," ma.l-3 in 1(11:1
fir the Virginian Company, at the Sm
mr Islands, now the Bermudas. The
coin was of brass, with the legend "Sum
mer Island" and a "hogge on one side, in
memory of the abundance of hogges
which were found on their first landing."
The currency of the early colonists was
a very ..;xed one. At one time musket
bails -"' for change at a farthing
apiece an l were a lewl tender for sums
under a shining Tobacco and tobuiro
receipts were also legal tender, and corn,
beans, codfish and peltrivs were likewise
employed.
Wampum, the shell-bead money of t he
Indians, was the currency most in ue,
however, being accepted by the colonics
as a convenient token.
There were two kinds of t'.is shed
money "wampumeag," which was white
and made from the conch or periwinkle,
and "suckanhock," which was dark pur
purple and made from the hard theil
clam.
The purple was worth twice as mcth
as the white. The shell was broken in
pieces, rubbed smooth on a stone untd
about the thickness of a pipe-stem, then
pierced with a drill and strung into neck
laces, bracelets and belts.
Tne English, French and Dutch set
tlers all used wampum, the value being
fixed in 1 'V at six beads for a penny.
The strings were called fathoms, and
varied in value from ." to 10 shilling
Shell money has played quite an im
portant part in the world's commerce.
The small, hard shell known as the
"cewry" is used to-day in India, the In
dian island and Africa in place of sub
sidiary coin.
The list of what may be termed curious
money is an extensive one. Salt is used
in Aby?sinia and whaW teeth in the
Fiji islands.
In some of the South Sea islands red
feathers form the currency. Among the
native Australians green stone and red
ochre are used.
Female slaves form the standard of
value in the retired districts of New
Guinea.
In the rural parts of Norway corn is
used for coin. Pipees of silk pass aa cur
rency 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 slie of bread, a pinch of
snuff or a dram of whisky all have a pur
chasing powr, while on the African
coast axes are the currency most in vogue.
