LYOtANS HAD FIRST COINAGE
Treasure Deposited In the Temple
Waa Impressed With Badge or
Symbol of Divinity.
So far as is known, the Lydlnns,
says Herodotus, first Introduced gold
and silver coin. The invention was
not far to -eek. Treasure came to be
deposited fur safety in the temples,
where it was consecrated to the care
of the divinity by being Impressed with
a badge or symbol. The sacred sym
bol being accepted as guarantee of
vnlue-, the pieces of metal so Imj ssed
found easy circulation. The earliest
Lydlun coins extant, deriving, probably
from the reign of Gyges (about 700 B.
0.)( are bean-shaped lumps of native
Lydlan gold, blenched with silver.
Each coin bears on its obverse the
figure of a lion and on Its reverse t lie
impress of the nail-liead serving to
keep the metal in place, while being
struck. From Lydla the one-sided coin
spread throughout the coasts and ls
lunds of the Aegean sea, each city Is
suing coins bearing the symbol of its
divinity. In Greece the earliest coins
of silver, with the figure of the tor
toise on the obverse, are said to have
been struck by Pheldon of Argos. To
Solon, about MM) B. C, Is ascribed the
Introduction into Athens of the tetra
draehm, on its obverse the head of
Athene, on Its reverse an owl. Sparta
enjoyed all to Itself the luxury of a
purely iron coinage. The Greek coins
from 480 to 300 B. C. marked a great
advancement In the way of art, and
Anthenlan money was the chief medi
um of exchange during this period.
Other nations later adopted their own
coinage, which has continued to Im
prove with the advance of civilization.
It Is such a little thing to dig those

between life, hope, strength and al
most certain death.

"These wives and daughters of sol

They have followed the flag from one
place to another, patched and schemed,
frozen on one side and roasted on the
other from garrison stoves, put up
with all scrts of hardships, and never
found fault.
