In Etrnrla. which lay northwest of the Tiber river, were copper mines and at an early date copper was brought to Rome. It came to be used In shields, harness, wagons, ships, and for many other purposes. Thus Is had a market value and It became the custom to nse Jumps of It in making payments. The government paid no attention to this Innovation, however, for some years. At a time when pieces of eopper were being used !n trade a souse driving his chariot recklessly along the Applan boulevard might have to settle with the Judge by driving up a flock of sheep. Since copper was sold by weight, It became convenient to have pound lumps called an "as." There were also two and three pound pieces. Thus copper served as money before the state started Issuing pieces of metal stamped with picture of the gods, mythical heroes, and contemporary politicians. When after 306 B. C the Romans became commercially ambitious and founded a maritime colony they took up coining. The money was bronze, lead, and tin, being combined with raw copper. The unit of value weighed an as and was called by that name.

"It does no good whatever, because the people who talk too mnch keep right on talking too much; in fact, it does harm, for it merely adds to the amount of talk, and so increases that kind of unnecessary noise. "I have never been able to determine whether loquacity Is a gift or a disease. I am rather inclined to think that it is a disease of the nervous system, but. on the other hand, it may be merely one of those Involuntary physiological actions like respiration or the circulation of the blood. Mentality doesn't seem to have much to do with It, as it Is noticed that the people who talk too much generally say less than the people who talk comparatively little. They have two distinctive characteristics. They talk principally about themselves, their families, their own affairs and their opinions of other people's affairs, about which they know little or nothing, and so have all the pleasure and stimulation of letting their imaginations range widely. "For other people than those en dowed with this gift, or afflicted with this disease, as the case may taneity ; but it is certain that the less they say the less danger there will be of a subsequent feeling of regret. "I don't think that the people who talk too much are really any mora untactful than the people who dont, and when they say things that are better left unsaid the effect Is diluted by their general gush of words till it is hardly noticed. It is the people who don't talk much that must watch their step or their tongues. The of their remarks tends to make their hearers note, and perhaps remember, what they say. So it really wouldn't appear to be safe to say anything which would make life somewhat duller, and a good deal less laborious."

The toil of 'making conversation' which is undoubtedly the most unnecessary activity that humanity engages In is more exhausting than the most arduous physical labor. I mean that it Is for the people who don't talk too much. The people who do talk too much have to make conversation because what they think is conversation bar-bl-es from their lips like the water from a never-failin- g spring.

V ?'V organ Al- sliver was used exclusively foreign trade, copper conto constitute the principal monpy at home. Now silver greatly increased in quantity. For one thing, Alexander discovered enormous treasures of both gold and silver in the Orient and set them In circulation. And there was the great silver mine in Spain, which at one time employed 40,000 miners. This had the effect of cheapening silver: boosting prices In terms of silver. At the time when wars had cut off the supplies of Rome's copper, the value of that metal In relation to silver rose more than did the general commodity Index number. And furthermore, copper was a commodity useful to have around while warring. Roman statesmen well understood Gresham's law 18 centuries before Gresham: with a double standard, an increase in the supply of silver, being coincident with a reduction in the supply of and an Increase in the demand for copper, would have led to the hoarding of copper as money. If the double standard was to work. It was necessary to reduce the mint ratio from 120 to 1. And so the size of the coin "as" was changed from 12 ounces of bronze to 10, 8. 6, and eventually to 2 ounces. Thus, the relation of silver to copper fell as low as 20 to 1 while the normal sources of metal were unavailable. When the flow of new copper was peace-tim- e and the war-tim- e de mand was cut off, the old ratio of 120 to 1 was restored. Copper and BUY TODMaMB e Blessed 3 120 to 1 was established.
