Bedroom Daintiness.

In fitting up her dainty bedroom the
bride will take stock of all the various
draperies and hangings that have been
relegated to her estate from time to
time without end. She will not be
fully delighted with any of them until
some one whispers to her the newest
idea in fittings and hangings that are
most appropriate and, indeed, most
pretty under any conditions. and then
she will hang her windows, V her
dresser and her bed and her boudoir
pillows, canopy her mirror with all
over embroidery-yes, just machine
embroidery-ruffied with an edging to
match.
The bride Will find that there are
ever so many designs in all over en-
broideries that suggest appropriateness
for hangings-little running sprays,
eyeleted effects and conventional pat
terms.
The daintiness Of the all white will
make a ready appeal, especially as
these are the sort of materials that
launder like new. If color is wanted
1t may be added in an UNDERLYING that
will give a tint through the sheer
fabric of the eyeleting.

The Stone Of lnfamy.

In many Italian cities there formerly
existed what was called 'spietra din
fannie" or a stone of infamy for the
punishment of bankrupts. In Venice
one stands near. the Church of st.
Mark, and in Verona and Florence
they are near the old markets. On a
day in carnival week the old time
custom was to have all traders who
had become bankrupt in the preceding
twelve months led to the stone. and
one by one each stood on its center to
hear the reading of a report OF his
business failure and to endure the re-
proaches heaped on him by his credi-
tors. At the end of a certain time
each bankrupt was partly undressed-
and three officers took hold of his
shoulders and three others of his
knees and. raising him as high as they
could, bumped him on the stone delib-
erately twelve times "in honor of the
twelve apcstles.' the creditors growing

PRIMITIVE CURRENCY.

Mediums Of Exchange.
A curious medium of exchange in
Scotland not many years ago was
handmade nails. This is equaled by
Switzerland, where eggs are still cur
rent coin. Eggs would be rather risky

eral reasons. but not so wheat and
oats, which hive been used for all pur-
poses of sale and purchase in Norway
and have even been banked. The ma
tionaI corn crop of Mexico is maize
and not very long ago formed the chief
money of that republic.
In the time of our ancestors to-
bacco was used almost exclusively in
Virginia instead Of gold and silver. In
Newfoundland dried Goldfish was at
one time a great medium of exchange.
1t had the advantage of keeping in
definitely. and it is said that the New
f%oundland miser got as much pleasure
from the odor of his possession as
though it were from Araby.
In savage lands they used more Curl
Gus things as money. Salt circulated

were used in Tartary; in some of the
Portuguese possessions the coin con-
sists of straw mats. In the islands of
the Pacific they depend upon feathers,

their wealth in iron shovels. China
has had varied forms of currency, not
the least curious being the coins made

VELOCITY OF LIGHT.
Roemer's Early Calculations Have

Roemer's Early Calculations Have
Stood the Test of Time.
The FIRST astronomer to demonstrate
satisfactorily the speed of light was
Ole Roemer, a Scandinavian scientist,
who read his immortal paper IN this
subject before the Academy at Paris
July %, 1876. Roemer's calculations
of time and subsequent Investigations
on all important points.
Knowledge as to the velocity of
light was of tremendous Importance to
astronomical science. since 1t enabled
astronomers to estimate accurately the
enormous distances with which their
science deals. Roemer found that light
Travelled at the rate OF 10000 miles in
a second. The sur. being distant from
the earth o 1900, 900 miles. flashes light
to us in eight minutes and fourteen
seconds.
Yet the sun is q near neighbor COM
pared with the so called fixed stars,
which in reality move with ~inconceiv-
able velocity. although the most pow
erful telescopes will not show that
velocity as anything but rest. Beyond
the outskirts of our insignificant solar
system are other systems. and beyond
them still others. so far as the sight OF
man, aided by instruments. may bridge
the CHASTITY chSusm of the Infinite. !.
Distances beside which the immense
line stretching from earth to sun Is an
invisible point are now measured by
means Of Roemer's special discovery as
to the velocity OF ight.-Exchange.

REPORT
SHOWS EXPENSES
Gunder Olson Tells of Con-
dition of North Dakota
Treasury.

Bismarck, N. D., Dec 1a.-Gunder
Olson in his biennial report to the
legislature shows that during the past
two years the state has paid Oft $780,
600 in bonds, some Of them due in
1921 and running from that date to as
late as 1925. The report also shows
that there is balance due"from the
defunct First National bank at Rugby
OF $3,O66.29, this being an item that
came to the office from former adj
ministration and which has been cut
down some during the past two years
as adjustments have been made. The
same condition exists as to the Bar
ton state bank with the figures ST.
622.S7 at the time the report was
made. The Medina State bank, the
only bank to suspend business In the
state during the period, which has not
since opened its doors for business
had a shortage Of s1.394.01, but this
amount had been paid by the bonding
company byswhich the state was in
sured. short time after the report
was published. or to he exact on July
,. so the state did not lose by that
failure.
In his suggestions to the legislature
as to amendment to the laws, Treas
urer Olson states that he believes the
bonds sold by the state should be Of
larger denomination as this will save
a vast amount of labor not only in the
treasurer's office but in the Offices of
the district town or county, and he al
so believes the county treasurers
should be required to send In the in
terest collected on farm loans the

| man. We have done nothing of the
nent is concerned, the Indians had no
more right or title to it than he had
to the middle of the Atlantic ocean.
He did not occupy it: he did not use
it, He roamed over portions of it.,
and he had an equal right with any,
| body else to do that. But it was not
his, 1t was not any ones. So far as
! there can be ownership in land. this
land belonged to him who first actu-
ally used it,
| 1t is true that the existence of the
Indian, as we found him, was incon-
sistent with the settlement Of the con-
tinent by white people. He could not
live the life to which he was accus-
toned in proximity to the white races,
because the big game on which he de-
pended for food must inevitably dis
appear when population becomes
dense and fields are cultivated. The
two cannot exist together.
The question, then, was whether a
vast and fertile continent should sus-
tain a handful Of hunters and fisher
men or the millions whom it could
sustain in comfort and happiness. but
under other conditions Of life. There
is but one answer. Whatever be-
came of the Indian himself, his GUS
toms and manner Of living must go.
In the evolution which was destined it
was inevitable that individuals, fami-
lies and tribes would be found who
could not adjust themselves to the
changing conditions. These must dis
appear. There was no reason why a
considerable number OF aborigines
and their descendants should not
merge themselves into the new life.
Many have done so. Unfortunately,
from many causes, the theory has per-
sisted that the Indian was the per-
manent ward Of the nation, a creature
not to he developed and set on mis-
feet, but one to be protected forever,
to be made the recipient year after
year of funds which, whatever may
have been the obligations of the gov
ernment to his remote ancestors,
were to him gratuities. gifts which he
had not earned. and the giving OF
which made him perpetual pauper.
There is little doubt that it would
have been better for the race MS "A
whole if, instead Of pursuing it's actu-
al policy. our government had years
ago paid the Indians in a lump sum
what it owed them, and let it 10 at
that. Much of the money would have
been squandered and those who had
received it would have continued in
barbarism until death. But how
much have the conditions been better
ed? Not very much. 1t was not nee
essary, however, to adopt such drastic
measures. The property of the Indians
could have been protected for them,
but there should have been kent be-
fore them constantly the ideal of cit
ienship and industry. and they should
have been made to feel that their fu-
ture happiness depended, not ON the
constant receipt of government doles,
but on the manner in which they
could fit themselves to take part in
the work OF progress which they saw
going on around them. This policy
may and should be followed now.
