Something About Money

There is no place on this wide earth of
ours where there is nothing to sell or no
money TO buy with. The kinds of money
people are forced to use would make our
boys who are familiar with gold, silver
and crisp green paper laugh. Think of
currency all the way from strips of odor-
ferrous dried fish to beautiful nature pol
ished sea shells and bright birds plum
age.
Of course we speak of money in its
broad sense. meaning something con-
venient to carry, of standard value, to
be used in exchange or trade; something
that costs labor to get or make, and Of
which every man thinks it would be
good to get plenty. The pieces of
leather of the Greeks with the rude
figure of an OK scratched upon them,
standing for real OK, were just like our
bank notes. Philadelphia Press.

When Silk Was More Precious Than Gold

Wnen S1tk w IN more fTec1Oub 1OlO
Common as is silk nowadays, in earlier
times it was a most precious material.
When it was first brought into Europe
silk commanded three times its weight
in gold, and so valuable was it deemed
that in the reign Of Tiberius a law was
passed forbidding it to all save noble
ladies, and prohibiting men from wear
ing it on the grounds of its effeminacy.
So unusual was it even 200 years later
for man to wear silk that every histo-
rian of the time Of Heliogabalus noted
the fact that that emperor had n silk
gown. For ages it continued at an alb
normally high price. Charlemagne, in
the year $50, could send to King Offa of
Mercia no more valuable present than
two silk coats. st. Louis Globe-Demo-
