henchidas de presurosas multitu-

Tailoring Ancient Art.

The art Of tailoring, In the western
hemisphere. appears to have original
ed In connection with skin garments
rather than those of cloth. In the
North, throughout the reindeer and
caribou area, well-tailored skin gar
ments were worn, completely cover
Ing the body. The Eskimos and the
caribou-hunting Indians cut out pieces
OF skin and fitted them together In
intricate patterns like a modern tailor.
The tailoring art probably began In
China, whence 1t spread TO Europe.
thence to the reindeer hunters In 81
IBERIA and across from Asia into the
new world. Along the Pacific coast
the aboriginal Indians were but scant.
lily clad and the natives Of Patagonia
usually wore only a breechcloth, al
though sometimes a capelike robe
hanging from the shoulders was used.
In Mexico and the Andes region where
the art of weaving reached It's height.
garments retained the angular form
IL which they came from the loom.

NO REFUGE IN BANKRUPTCY
In Oiden Times Severe Penalties Were
Melted Out to Men Unable to
Pay Their Debts.

A curious custom was prevalent In
France during the sixteenth and sew
enteenth centuries. Anyone who found
1t necessary to liquidate his affairs
was obliged to wear a green cap-a
humility to himself and q warning to
others.
Those who made a hobby Of getting
rid of their indebtedness by way OF
the bankruptcy court should at all
costs steer clear of China. Bank.
ruptcies are almost unknown In that
country, as they entail immediate e
ecution.
A similar drastic punishment used
to be melted out to delinquent in
Japan.
To come carer home. n need only
go back to a little before the Act of
Union to find that debtors In Scot
land were obliged to wear garments

At one time bankrupts were consid-
cred criminal offenders even In Eng

cases Of fraudulent bankruptcy have
incurred the death penalty In this
country. Any concealment Of books
or the secreting OF property by q

USED DIAMONDS AS COUNTERS
Miners Who Found Them In Brazil IN
1925 Considered Them az Merely
Pretty Pebbles

The news from Brazil that a large
ompan has been formed to work the
diamond mines Of that country on a
more scientific scale In an enort 10
make Brazil once more an Important
factor In supplying the WORLDS most
p~opular gem, recalls n OF history's
richest jokes.
Diamonds were first discovered IN
Brazil In 1925. But with their pockets
full of diamonds, the discoveries were
naware for two years that they had
made a discovery.
Miners washing for gold In h Minas
Geraes district picked up pretty peb-
bles from time to time. They thought
them worthless and used them for
counters In their card games. IL they
had no money they gambled for the
pebbles, winning or losing, In blissfui
ignorance. a kings ransom In diamonds
on the turn of a card.
A penniless adventurer drifted into
the gold fields In 1927. Some OF the
miners staked him one evening TO q
handful Of pebbles that he might SIT
in at a card game. The others played
with listless interest, but the new
ONE played with car and skill. He
had seer rough diamonds In India and
knew what the pebbles were. As a
result he won all the pebbles AROUND
the table.
He did not remain In the fields to
wash for gold. but next day hurried
TO Rio Janeiro and took ship for LIS
bon, where he sold his pebbles for a
fortune and lived happily ever after.
The rush OF diamond hunters to Bra
I'll which followed carried back to the
miners in Minas Geraes the first init
nation that they had been rich for two
years without knowing II.

Sayings of
Theodore Roosevelt
PROMISE AND PERFORMANCES

THE mar who continually makes
new promises without living up to
those he has already made, and who
takes pledges which he breaks. is
rightly treated as an object for con-
temptuous fun. The nation which
behaves in like manner deserves no
higher consideration"
"A treaty is a promise. 1t is like
a promise to pay in the commercial
world. Its value lies in the means
provided for redeeming the promise.
To make it, and not redeem 1t. is
vicious"
I'm international matters the de-
~claration of a right. or the
ment of a worthy purpose, is no only
aimless. but is a just cause for deris-
ion. and may even be mischievous. II
force is not put behind the right or
the purpose"
"A broken promise is bad enough in
private life. 1t is worse in the field
OF politics. No man is worth his salt
in public life who makes on the stump
a pledge which he does not keep af-
ter election; and. If he makes such a
pledge and does not keep II, huni
him ouk az 0uhlic ltfe."
