Millions In Automobiles.

While the automobile is of older
use abroad than here, statistics show
that more money is invested in autos
In the United States than in all Of
the rest of the world combined. In
the first place, the country is the most
resourceful and prosperous and the
percentage Of people able to indulge
in such costly luxury is much great
er Over and above this is the nat
ural trait born of the everyday life
Of the American people. AS its bust
ness life is strenuous, so is its rec
reation. Accompanying the Ameri-
cans active pursuit of money making
is the willingness to spend it for what
appeals to him, and the s125,000,0 900
required to pay for the years output
of automobiles will be Forthcoming
without a doubt.-Omaha Bee.

ORIGIN OF THE SPOON
Suggestion Is That II Came Originally
From the Shell.

From the Shell.
The suggestion is offered by a cor.
respondent that the domestic spoon
probably owes its origin to the shell,
says the Dundee Advertiser. Shells
of the mussel, scallop and oyster, it
is believed, were used in prehistoric
times as spoons and ladies, the han
die being formed of piece of wood
split at one end to hold the shell firm
ly. Some savage nations make sim
liar spoons up to the present day, and
the old Highland custom of offering
whisky in a shell has been probably
handed down from generation to gen
Grafton for untold ages. Westman, In
his History of the Spoon" gives Ro-
man specimens, which are very simple
in design-something like silver caddy
spoons-and are much shorter In the
handle than those from Egypt Those
for common use were generally made
of bronze, iron or brass. They clear
ly show how the shell-shape was re-
tanned and their marine origin Is also
preserved in the name for spoon
cochleare-derived from cochlea, a
shell or cookie. The Celtic spoon also
closely resembled the shell in form
though made of bronze. The horns
of various animals, such as the OK
bison and ram were often used as
drinking cups, and as the material
was found suitable, it was sometimes
used with wood, ivory, metal, etc., for
spoonmaking. Hence the ancient ex
preston ITO SDOil a horn to make a
spoon"

Chinese Scholar On MARRIAGE.

Guarantee Of Deposits.

Whatever differences Of opinion

MED that the experiment is proving
very popular in the States whdce have

statement issued last week, covering
twelve months of the operation of
such a law in Oklahoma, shows con-
clusively that the national banks,
which are not embraced in the opera
tion of the law, are suffering an alarm
