The Earliest Money.

The earliest money was probably
shells or strips of bark. Skins ap'
pear very early as medium Of e1:
change. Later on sheep, oxen and
other sort of cattle we're used as the
measure of value. With the advent
of agriculture the products Of the
farm were sometimes made to be
value units. So late as the early
colonial times in Virginia tobacco
was used as currency. Eventually
the metals iron, silver and gold be-
came the almost universally recog-
nized money Of civilized and semi
civilized peoples, iron taking the
lead in point of time.-New York

Meerschaum is hydrated sill

and breaking with a conchoidal or
fine earthly fracture. Most Of it
comes from Asia Minor, especially
from the plains of Eskischehr.

posits of the plain. which are sys-
tematically worked for its e1trac-
ton by means of pits and galleries.
Meerschaum is found also, but less
abundantly, in Greece and in some
of the Grecian islands-at Hrub-
schitz, in Moravia, where it occurs
in a serpentinous matrix, and in
Morocco, where it is used when soft
and fresh as a substitute for soap,
while a coarse variety is found at
Vallecas, near Madrid, and is en-
ployed as a building stone. Meer-
schaum also occurs in South Caro-
lima. Almost the whole OF the
worlds supply of meerschaum comes
from the district of Eskischehr, in
Asia Minor.
Mining is done in a primitive
fashion, and precautions for safety
are unknown, although accidents oc-
cur from time to time. A group OF
three to fifteen workmen work to-

fixed until they reach, at depth OF
twenty, forty or even sixty meters,
the bed of red clay under or in
which the meerschaum is found
mixed with serpentine in the form
of irregular pieces from the size OF
q hazelnut to that of an apple.
These pieces are often extracted
with great difficulty after making
long galleries in the red clay. In
many places the earth is mined in
such way that the galleries of sew
eral different excavations are con-
fused. The work is carried on day
and night, the workings being light

AFTER THE BALL.
California; First Clearing House Was
Not Q Financial One.

The meaning of the term Clear
ing house" may not perhaps be ia
miliar to all people outside Of bank
ing and commercial circles. An in
cident which occurred during our
civil war may give clear though
homely idea of what a clearing
house is.
The occasion was in 1864, when
the citizens of San Francisco gave
the famous Russian ball. to the Of
ficers of the Russian feet of war
ships in San Francisco's harbor,
which had been sent to the federal
government by the emperor OF Rus
sia to the assistance of the northern
states in that war.
That ball was the most brilliant
affair of its kind that has ever taken
place in California. 1t was attend
ed by the governor and all the state
and municipal officers, the members
of the supreme and superior courts,
all the foreign consuls and the Off
GERS of the army and navy within
reach of San Francisco, besides
many of the old and wealthy Span
ish families from southern Califor-
mia, all handsomely dressed and re-
splendent in diamond ornaments
The large hall was splendidly dec
grated with Russian and American
flags intwined. The flags of the for.
eien consuls and lines Of cages Of
singing canary birds were hung
around the gallery. A military m
band and a string band supplied the
music. On the stage Of the hall
were stacks of arms and accouter'
ments of war, while the rich dresses
of the ladies and the uniforms Of
the officers of the navy and army,
together with the grand official re-
gala Of the foreign consuls, made
t a scene of splendor and q wonder
and delight to the Russian sailors.
After tAe supper, which vas seIv'
ed in keeping with the rest Of thu
ball, the Russian officers, the con:
suls and many of the guests OF hon
or retired, but "the dance went on.
Soon afterward it was seen that th'
| walters in the hat room had become
confused in their deliveries, ant
gentlemen, finding their hat cheeks
useless, were obliged to 60 INSIDE
| and search for themselves, which
resulted in soon covering the HOO,
with articles of clothing, from which
each man took that which titte'
him best and went home.
The following day a notice ap
peared in the newspapers inviting
all persons who had lost their over
coats or hats and had taken other
! instead to return them to a plac
designated in the notice and recelv
! their own. The result of this NOV
was a success, for every man VIII
had lost his own and had brough
the article he had taken recovered
that which belonged to him, tn
writer being one Of them. This
then. was CALIFORNIA; first clear
ing house, though not fnancia
one. in so far as the basic princlpl
of the bankers clearing house i
concerned.-Los Angeles Times.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Union Graded School.
xeeseeeeeeeeteeeeeeeeee&


the Francis Marion Literary So
ciety held a public meeting
which proved quite a success
There were essays, rotations
and selections of music; but the
most interesting feature of the
programme was the debate:
"Resolved, That the growing of
flowers should be given more
consideration in the home"
This subject was handled ina
manner which reflected credit
upon the debaters, the society
and the school. 1t was said to
be the strongest debate ever
presented in the school and in
rendering their decision the
judges pronounced it the most
difficult question they ever had
to decide.
However, the decision was in
favor of the affirmative. Sever
al visitors were present, among
whom were: Mr. and Mrs } J
Snow, Mrs W j Bryant, Misses
Bessie Snow and Sadie Waldron
and Mr. Henry Thomas.
Friday, March 13, was the day
for the election of new officers
Following is the result:

The general examinations
have just been finished and We
are glad to say that as a rule
the work of this session has
been pronounced by the teach,
ers to be exceptionally good
and highly satisfactory,
On March 13 the Senior class
of Union Graded school met and
elected the following officers:
president, Furney Hemingway;
secretary and treasurer, Iva
Eaddy; class poet, Furney Hem
ingway; class prophet, Ruth
Carraway; class valedictorian,
Iva Eaddy.
The faculty and students OF
the school are delighted to know
that there is very bright pros
pect of attaining the name OF
Union High School, before the.
fall term opens. If the hope. as
realized there will necessarily
be an addition made to both the
faculty and the school building
Instead of four teachers wa.
shall have six or more.
One of the most enjoyable
events in Cur nei ighberhood
during the past few weeks was
the oyster supper given by the
school in their building on the
evening Of March 20. Owing to
the inclemency of the weather,
many who undoubtedly would
have attended were prevented.
However, the number of guests
was indeed very ncouraging.
The entertainment consisted of
the following interesting pro-
gramme: music duet, Misses Ma,
rie Rivers and Louise Wilson's
vocal quartette, Messrs o M
Mitchell, Ulmer Eaddy, Misses.

Obscure Diseases.

If you are suffering from some OBJ
scure chronic disease, from which you
have been unable to get relief, is it
not to your advantage to test new
method of treatment?
DIR. Kutchin's system of treatment
differs from all others. He only en-
ploys pure herbal remedies, and pro-
ceeds on principles which have been
thoroughly tested in the great hospi,
tails of Europe and America.
All diseases are benefited by his
methods. In chronic and obscure dis
eases he has achieved his most re-
markable triumphs.
There are many cases in this county
that were given up to die, who have
been saved by his skill.

jackets are smaller, while in 9TH
er styles, sleeves are very much
the same as those of last winter.
Long coats, somewhat on the Di-
rectoire order, are also braided,
often having a skirt to match,
that, however, is an optional
matter.
1t may be said that everything
is worn in millinery, and a hat
may be successfully trimmed at
home by draping colored silk or
satin around the crown with
wings at one side, or else an e.
normous coil of satin, or satin
plaitings. Chiffon is often draped
over the silk, and, of course,
adds to the effect. 1t is prefer
able to employ flowers, wings or
silk as trimmings, rather than a
small ostrich feather, as those
now seen on large hats are so ell
egant that any other kind seems
insignificant. A wreath of dahl
las, finished by a satin bow is
fashionable and poppies or roses
may be similarly arranged.

thing that can be said of this record
is the fact that it was achieved with
out one cent of Increased cost in the
operation CT the state treasury de-
partment. Ordinarily, when any de-
partment Of the state or national gov
ernments-or of any coTpo ate or pri-
vate business. for that matter-shows
the vast increase in earning capacity
exhibited by the Ohio state treasury
under the administration Of the depos-
itory law by Republican officials,
there is at least some substantial, If
not an eXtravagant. increase in operat.
ing expenses. But in this case Of the
state treasury and the depository law
there has been no increase at all.
More than 100000 have zen added
to the states income without an addi-
tional dollar of expense.
Prior to the enactment Of this Re-
publican legislation state funds were
idle and unprOduCtiVe. Today they
are active, circulating among the peo-
ple to the fullest extent admissible
under safe management and produc-
ing a revenue of great moment to all
the state institutions.
The Republican record in the state
treasury department is most enyiable
and has not only been productive OF
results highly commended by the best
financial authorities at home, but such
as have commanded the favorable no
tice of other states through their Off
cials. both Republican and Demo

the credit for the fine administration

their success: and his election would
be guarantee of continued efficiency
in the administration of the state de

ence as cashier of the state treasury
department, his recognized ability and

The Republicans of Ohio have every
reason to be proud of the success that
has attended the handling of the
states funds by Republican officials
and there is no doubt, notwithstand
ing all the Misrepresentation Of the
opposition in this campaign, that they
will yindicate that pride by the over
