We were sitting IN a club at Wash
ington talking about life on what In
the sixties were called "the plains"
when the natural state was struggling
against civilization. when the savage
was not yet extinct there and when
the buffalo was hucking against the
locomotive. There was Tom Sherikle.
Dave Boggs. Tom Durham aud iHy-
self. We had all lived beyond the
Missouri river in those halcyon days.
Some OF us had been worse than we
should have been. but we made fair
average sample Of the population. One
Of our number had reached the United
States senate. another was q repre-
sentative. while a third was big
land dealer In the region Of which we
were speaking. The fourth. Tom Dur
ham. was a prominent clergyman.

CURRENCY OF FURS AND SKINS.
Primitive Mode Of Exchange That Pre-.
vailed in Early Days.

In the early days OF the United
States furs and skins were very gen
orally transferred from hand to hand
rs money. Thus, in the northern
states, a pound of beaver was regard
ed as the unit of value. and in the
south the same weight OF deerskin
performed a similar function. In the
far west furs retained a currency val
lie until quite a recent date. But, aft
er all, as a bale of skins was rather a
bulky roll of money to carry about, 1t
was customary to cut off small strips
as tokens Of ownership and pass them
from hand to hand, while the skins
were deposited in recognized places OF
security. Proof of rightful ownership
was demonstrated when the strip was
fitted to the part from which it a
been detached. Trickery in substitute
ing another skin was not so easy as
might be imagined, because it seldom
happened that two skins would prove
SO exactly similar in shade and length
of fur where the strip was cut OF a.
to deceive even the eye OF a novice.

MAKES 4 FLOATING COMPASS.
Popularity Of Magnetized Needle
When Placed in Water.

If a thoroughly dry and clean sew.
ing needle is very carefully laid on
the surface of the water in a Dasln
the needle will float in spite OF the
high density of steel-seyen or eight
times that CT water.
On close inspection it is found that
the surface Of the water is depressed
under the needle, very much as II
there were q thin film stretched over
the water, and slightly indented by the
weight Of the needle. This property
of liquids, of Offering a certain ASSIST
ance to a force exerted upon their sur
face, is termed surface extension.
The magnitude of the force OF surface
tension varies from one liquid to an
other. 1t is greatest in the case OF
mercury. The cause of the phenome-
o must probably be looked for IN
the attraction of the liquid molecules
to one another. A sewing needle. thus
floating upon water, may be used as a
compass, If 1t has previously been
m~agnetized. 1t will then point north
and south, and will mai tain this po-
sition If the containing vessel is
moved about; If the needle Is dis-
placed by force it will return to It's
position along the magnetic meridian
as soon as the restraint is removed.

Ignorance And Stupidity.

We would much rather be ignorant
than stupid. We would rather have
our brain empty than to have it be-
logged with meaningless ideas. Igno-
rant people are usually refreshing.
Stupid folks are a bore. An ignorant
man is apt to have a few original
ideas and impressions. A stupid per-
sou is usually q poor imitation Of
some n else.
When an ignorant person Goes
catch a CLEAN Of light. he is in a way
to appreciate it. Offering a big idea
10 a stupid Eerson is like giving him a
piece of roast beef after he has stuffed
himself with desert.
How many persons there are who
read 50 many books that they cannot
remember any of them. How few
folks there are who are really them
selves. They have SO drilled them.
selves in the proper thing to do that
they are autOnlatOnS. Culture SO often
can but a complete suppression of
ones genuine emotions.
The veneer and polish upon which
some people SO pride themselves is a
thing a we'll trained parrot might
take on. The more inferior the real
merit of any article, the more veneer
and polish it requires. Stupid people
are usually all veneered to the same
thickness, They have an idea that it
is genteel to never let the world see
what is beneath. English servants
are in demand because through gener-
ations of serfdom their facial express
Sions has become blank.
Christ loved ignorant people and
little children. They came to him
with simplicity. Their minds were
not filed with useless things. They
did not know the latest song or the
latest book, nor the latest style. They
were SO ignorant that when the sun
went down. their hearts were touched
with the beauty Of it, and when the
stars came out their souls stared sky
ward to hold communion. The stars
have no language with folks who ale
worrying with bridge whist debts, or
who hold it a crime if a friend mis-
pronounces the words on a foreign
bill-of-fare.
So many people are merely quota
lions of other people. They stifle their
