Plenty of Gold.

A good deal of complaint is made as
to the small amount of gold in the
world. 1t is the very fact that gold is
found only in small amounts that makes
it so desirable for currency. If it was
as abundant as iron, it would be,as I'M
available as iron for money purposes.
AS to the comparative quantity, there
has not been five years since 1850 when
there has not been a much larger
amount of gold in the world in proper
ton to the. necessity for its use than
there was in the preceding five years,
and there is more today in proportion
to the necessity for its use for business
than there ever was before. Hon. John
De Witt Warner.

Treatment of Bruises.

Instead of having recourse to appli-
cations of tincture of a%rnica, spirits of
camphor and to strong compression Of
the swelling in the treatment of light
bruises, DR.. Anger prefers the use of
olive oil, both for children and adults
He applies the oil freely to the confused
parts and rubs the latter lightly with a
rag, absorbent cotton, or with the
fingers, and covers the bruise with a
compress saturated with olive oil. The
author claims that this treatment gives
immediate relief to the patient and
that the formation Of n bloody protu-
berance is often prevented, while ex-
coriations aid superficial wounds which
may be preSeng heal very rapidly.

COTTON D%RAPERlES.
Decorative and Comparatively Cheap Ma
terials For Hangings and Upholstery.

terials For Hangings and Upholstery.
The wonderful advance made in cot
ton fabrics for upholstery and hangings
leads The Decorator and Furnisher to a
number of interesting details about ma
terials of this class now on the market,
with some illustrations of their use,
among them the following:
To the uninitiated the word ''cot-
ton" suggests cretonnes and muslins,
dimities and silkolines and goods of
like ilk, but one is shown tapestries and
velvets with the sheen of silk upon their
surfaoe-tapestries that might have
graced the palaces of the good caliph
Haroun-al-R aschid, or velvets fit for the
drawing room of a millionaire, and is
told that these, too, are cotton stuffs.
For summer curtains and portieres
and wen for couch coverings and pill
lows miller's cloth or colonial cross
stripe is of the most admirable and
inexpensive of fabrics. 1t is a material
like homespun sheeting crossed at in
tervals by stripes of contrasting colors,
is 30 inches, and costs 60 cents a yard.
These cloths wash, and, being alike on
both sides, require no lining.
Norman tapestry, apparently a heavy
silken brocade, is woven in two color
ings and makes an excellent covering
for furniture. AS it requires no lining
it is inexpensive for portieres. Toledo
tapestry, made in an effect of vertical
hair stripes, promises to be much used
in country houses for curtains and chair
cushions. 1t is 90 inches wide and 81 a
yard.
Vandyke velvets make the richest
furniture coverings and hangings, the
designs being mostly floral and the col
ors deep reds, green's and yellows.
Lattice cloth, which is intended for
hangings only, is admirably suited to

as canvas tapestry or cluny canvas, and

sirable tint and may be had stenciled in

that villa cloth is an evolution of the
old time jean or denim. 1t is softer in
finish than the denims and comes in
better and softer tones. 1t may be had
in plain colors or printed, generally in
black lines ON a colored ground. Re-

CATION arises by agreement Of the par
ties. and the article to be delivered is
named by them. Is anything more
needed? If Smith has contracted DO
deliver 100 pounds of butter 10 Jones.
does Smith need an act of legal tender
to tell him what he must deliver? Is it
not perfectly obvious that a delivery
OF what is named in the contract is the
evident and only fulfillment of the con-
tract? The principle does not change
If the contract calls for a certain guam
tity of metal. If Smith has contraact
ed TO deliver a certain weight of silver
of a certain quality, is not that amount
of silver the full and only performance
of the contract? Can it make any DIFF
ference if Smith and Jones by language
they both understand have called this
certain quantity of silver by the name
100 quods?' The performance or full
fllment of the contract 10 deliver goods
is the delivery of the very goods speci-
fed; nothing more, nothing less. \
sufficient tender on such 4 contract is
the performance carried ns far rs IT may
he without the acceptance of the per-
formance by the creditor. What this
sufficient tender is is therefore pointed
by the terms of the contract which
designate the performance. The tender
and only this tender should be recog-
nized by the law as q legal tender. or a
sufficient tender in law on the con-
tract"
"As the present lamcntable condition
,,f tho to Of f1,o
world has been brought about by the
indulgence in the intoxication of legal
tender laws the remedy seems most
naturally to be the repeal of the legal
tender laws. the gradual redemption of
the superfuous representative money
and the substitution of other and bet
ter forms of nonlegal tender representa-
tive money to supply the place of the
present legal tender stuff so far as it is
needed.
in accordance with the principles
herein enunciated a sound monetary
system will provide for the free coinage
of gold. 1t may also provide for the free
coinage of silver and any other metals
that business men may actually wish to
use as standards, but not at any legal
tender ratio between the metals. Each
metal will simply be stamped, under
perfectly distinct names for the pieces,
as 10 weight and quality and left to
pass for its own market value. so that
on 4 contract the only legally sufficient
discharge or tender shall be the metal
named in contract. If, then, business
men see fit to draw their contracts gen
orally for one metal in preference to
another, no one can find fault. and eX-
isting debts, which have been made on
the faith and credit of the gold dollar
OF 1922 grains of fine gold, will be am
ply protected. In order that the govern
lnent may not seem to throw its influ
ence for the use of either metal in par
ticular it may be well to provide that
the government will receive both met
ais indiscriminately for their market
values at the time of receipt"
