First Gold Certificate.

II is contended that the existence
Of piracy in the Mediterranean led 10
the creation Of the first gold certlh-
cate.
Rome bought wheat In Egypt, while
Egypt was forced to pay tribute
money for the maintenance Of the Ro-
mat army. To ship gold for these pay
ments was to tempt the pirates who in
tested the eastern Mediterranean. Il
was probably some able tinancler who
thought OF the scheme of having the
wheat importer take his gold to the
Roman bank. which had a branch in
Alexandria. and get his certificates,
which the pirates would not dare to so
into Alexandria TO cash.
The Egyptian tax collector got his
certificate from the Alexandria bank
aud sent II to Rome, where 1t was non.
ored.

Ways Of Utilizing Tomato Refuse.

A recent bulletin of the u. :. de-
partment OF agriculture brings the
fact that vast quantities Of tomato
refuse accommodating each year at to-
mato-pulplng factories can be reduced
TO two products-vlz., fixed oil and meal
both of which may be made COM
merclally useful. Tho oil from tho
seeds is suitable for i've ms an edible
oil or as soap oil, and by proper
treatment can be made useful as a
drying oil for paint and varnish. The
meal has valuable qualities as stock
feed. The department urges the es-
adjustment Of reducing plants and the
adoption of cooperative plan of man
ufacture In the regions where toma-
toes are extensively used to make cat
cups and soups, the seeds and skins
being at present discarded as useless.
The utilization of tomato wastes seems
to have made much more progress In
Italy than elsewhere.

MYTHICAL STONE OF sCHAMlR
Legend Says II Was Employed by Solo,
mon in Building Famous Temple
at Jerusalem.

Schamlr is a mythical stone whose
speciality was that Of extreme hard
ness, insomuch that there was no sub
stance that 1t wonld not cut. King
Solomon used II in noiselessly cutting
and shaping the metals and stones for
the Temple. Solomon was reputed
to have dominion over Djlnns. and he
employed these men in building the
Temple. Unfortunately. they made so
much noise with hammers, saws end
ak that the people of Jerusalem could
not hear each other speak. Therefore
Solomon directed them to cease their
work and inquired whether the metals
: and stones could not be shaped and cut
without noise. The reply was that
this could be done With the stone of
/ Schamir. Now 1t was Sachr's Gus
Z tom to pay a monthly visit to the land
OF Hidjr and drink certain fountain
empty. SO Solomon sent a winged
Dim, who drew the water from the
fountain and filled it with wine. Sachr
drank. became drunk and was bound
In chains. The captive was promised
his liberty on condition that he would
reveal the place where the stone that
would cut and shape the hardest met
ais could be found. Saehr told the
king 20 take the eggs out Of ravens
nest, place a crystal cover upon them
and see how the raven would break It.
Solomon did so. The raven, finding
its eggs covered, few away and re-
turned with a stone in its beak, which
II dropped on the crystal and cut 1t
asunder. The raven was asked by Sol
ONION where the stone came from, and
was told that 1t came from mountain
in the far west. The mountain was
found, number of similar stones
We're obtained. and with them the
Djinns hewed the stones for the Tenn
pie In the distant quarfies and
brought them to Jerusalem. where
they were laid noiselessly In their
proper places.

MOTHERS YIELD TO SCIENCE
Cradle and Grooming Song Both Things
Of the Past--6sby Must No
Longer Be Rocked.

The cradle and the grooming song
have gone. Today science says that
no mother must rock her baby, either
In cradle or in rocking chair. True,
the mother may cuddle her chfrub
while sitting. and the occupation,
therefore. while still sedentary, is
also stationary.
One ventures much when he takes
issue with science. Nevertheless, there
were cradles in those days when the
earth grew giants. The men of Bunk
er Hill and Of Brandywine all were
rocked to sleep in infancy; so were
the men OF Lundy's Lane and Of New
Orleans, and likewise, the men Of Cha
pultepec, Buena Vista. Gettysburg and
Peachtree Creek. Sturdy soldiers they
made, and although in this day II per-
haps ought not TO be said, there are
none sturdler fighting anywhere, even
though these latter-day warriors were
uncradled and uncrooned.

Checks Little Used In France.

Checks are not much used and are
seldom accepted In France. There Is
but little attempt 10 identify the payer
of a check and anyone who either
makes out or accepts an order TO pay
does so at his peril. The public tax
collector will have none Of them, and
the taxpayer has TO stand in line with
his bank bills in the back yard or in the
garnet Of the precepteur or else he
must 60 TO jail for nonpayment. He
cannot send a check. There is no clear
ing house in Paris. Banks settle their
accounts with one another by sending
uniformed messengers, who carry cash
through the streets and who stand in
line before the cashiers windows
waiting TO get their exact change

No Wool Shortage Exists

Cloth manufacturers in the
United States have been impelled
10y fear to carry abnormal stocks
of wool, and to contract with
dealers and importers for un-
usual quantities for foreign
d G livery. Manufacturers
Of clothing have been infected
by a like dread, melting the pur-
chase of cloth exceeding in vol
ume their reasonable needs.
The consumption of wool dur
ing 1918 will be little if any
greater than it was during 1917"
In a recent statement the War
Trade Board declares that no
wool shortage exists, either in
the worlds supply or in the
amount on hand in the United
States, Notwithstanding the in
creased consumption for mil
itary purposes. The clip in most
countries has steadily increased
since the outbreak of the war.
The price of wool has ad.
vaneed in the United States by a
percentage greatly in excess of
such price advances in other
countries, says the statement.
The price in the Unite
States has advanced 200 per ce nj

price in England is fixed at 155
per cent in excess of pre-war.

prevent working a hardship on
the poor of New York. These
people, many of them foreigners,
buy bread from the big loaves
by the penny and two-penny
slice, and have not the money to
buy in larger quantities. The
weight requirements for baking
are not changed.

The following paragraph of
Regulations is the only
existing regarding the rel
ationship between officers and
enlisted men:
Suporiors are forbidden 30 in
iure those under their authority
by tyrancical or capricious con-
duct or by abusive language.
While maintaining dicipline and
the thorough and prompt per-
Torrance of military duty, all
officers, in dealing with enlisted
men, will bear In mind the abso-
lutte necessity of treating them
so as TO preserve their self-res-
pcct. Officers will keep in as
close touch as possible with the
men under their command, will
strive to. build up such relations
of confidence and sympathy as
will insure the free approach OF
their men TO them for counci.
and assistance. This relation
ship may be- gained and main-
tanned without relaxation of the
bonds of Discipline and with great
benefit to the service as a whole.
