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 it 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-
fly clad and the natives of Patagonia
usually wore only "a breechcloth, al
though sometimes capelike robe
hanging from the shoulders was used.
In Mexico and the Andes region where
the art Of weaving reached its height,
garments retained the angular form
IL which they came from the loom.

where BEDS ARE UNKNOWN
Residents of Merida, Yucatan, Enjoy
Repose in Hammocks Which May
Be Slung Anywhere.

In Merida, Yucatan, the majority of
the people do not use beds, in fact
very few of them have even seen one
They sleep in hammocks, which are
swung across the rooms at night and
with no fuss Of bedmaking; the per-
son just goes to bed and is gently
rocked to sleep by any passing breeze.
The climate is SO hot that it is only
during the months Of January and
February that light sheet may be
required as covering.
These hammocks are usually made
by the mother of the family, writes
Lilly dec. Osborn, in st. Nicholas, and
consist Of thread. more or less fine,
woven together on great frames with
kind Of shuttle or needle. Some Of
the designs are wonderfully intricate
and the colors beautifully blended I
saw one very large one, made in the
colors of the United States flag, which
was to be sent up to the United States
for gift. 1t was certainly work Of
art, made of the very finest mercerized
thread; and yet the hammock could
easily support a weight of 800 pounds.
A servant always brings his or her
own hammock, which is very conven-
lent.

was schoolboy and he was foreign

Of one who had played bat, trap and

with Doctor Parr; had visited Mel

Quoits Really Ancient Game.

The QUOT is flattish ring of iron.
used in playing. 1t is generally from
eight and a half to nine and half
inches in external diameter, and be-
tween one and two inches in breadth,
convex on the upper side and slightly
concave on the under side, so that the
outer edge curves downward, and is
sharp enough to cut into soft ground.
The game played with such rings re-
quires two pins. called hobs, driven
part of their length into the ground
some distance apart; and the players.
who are divided into two sides, stand
beside one hob, and in regular sue
cession throw their quoits, of which
each player has two, as near the other
hob as they can. The side which has
the QUOT nearest the hob counts a
point toward the game. or, if the QUOT
is thrown so as to surround the hob,
it counts two. The game slightly re-
sembles the ancient exercise Of throw
ing the discus which has, however,
been often translated by this English
word.

USED DIAMONDS AS COUNTERS
Miners Who Found Them In Brazil In
1926 Considered Them as Merely
Pretty Pebbles.

The news from Brazil that a large
company has been formed to work the
diamond mines of that country on a
more scientific scale in an effort to
make Brazil once more an important
factor in supplying the worlds most
popular gem, recalls one Of history's
richest jokes.
Diamonds were first discovered in
Brazil in 1725. But with their pockets
full of diamonds, the discoveries were
unaware for two years that they had
made discovery.
Miners washing for gold in the Minas
Geraes district picked up pretty peb-
them worthless and used them for
counters In their card games. If they
had no money they gambled for the
pebbles, winning or losing, in blissful
ignorance, 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 a
handful of pebbles that he might sit
in at card game The others played
with listless interest, but the new.
conner played with care and skill. He
had seep 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 hut newt dav 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
zil which followed carried back to the
miners in Minas Geraes the first init
nation that they had been rich for two
years without knowing it.

Details Carried to Absurdity.

Trivial details not infrequently be-
come the pivot of momentous deci-
sions, in which cases an element of alb
surdity is supplied by the breadth of
the contrast. A case in point arises
In the discussion among English lit
terateurs concerning Shakespeare's al
legged hand" in the play Of "Sir
Thomas More" in which one expert
occupies almost a column Of small
type in the literary supplement Of the
Times of London In describing the
construction Of the letter B as found
I'm one of Shakespeare's autographs
documents. The imposing array Of
warlike and nautical terms in the mod
est letter, such as keel, baseline, ram,
forelimb and boundary line, may as
tonish many who have been accus-
toned to form it with comparative
ease, while the division of the letter
into sections and subsections by this
savant for purposes Of discussion en-
dows the old scrivener's art with I'M
expected dignity.

BIBLES THAT ARE PRICELESS
40 Treasures by Their For.
tunate Owners.

The largest Bible In existence is In
the royal library at Stockholm. The
covers are made Of solid planks, four
inches thick, and the pages measure q
yard In length. 1t is estimated that
100 asses skins must have been used
to furnish the 300 parchment leaves Of
this colossal book. 1t Is considered
priceless.
A well-to-do New Yorker is the
proud possessor Of manuscript Bible
written by his only son, cripple. He
could only work about two hours a
day, so he took over two years to
complete his task. 1t does not contain
single error or slip, for If error or
slip occurred the youth discarded the
whole page. The verses and headings
are all in red ink, and the whole Is
beautifully written.
In house in Grafton street, London.
there Is shorthand Bible which was
written at least two centuries before
Pitman was born. 1t was written by
an apprentice in the day of James II,
when to possess common" or
garden" Bible was rather dangerous.
An American lady cherishes Bible
probably as old as the one written
In shorthand, which an ancestress
baked in loaf of bread when house
toulouse search was being made for
stray copies Of the scriptures. The sol
diers came to search the house, but it
is not q mattar If wonder that thew
failed to find the book, which now,
looking pretty old, is the lady's chief
treasure.

Matter of Priority.

While the people of Denmark are
glorying in the antiquity Of their ma
tional flag, the "Dannebrog,"' which
claims the honor of seniority among
all the national flags, and are COM
memorating its origin in the thirteenth
century, Belgian and German patriots
are securing the Middle Ages on a
mission of vital import to their respec-
tive flags. The new German state has
given indications of adopting for its
colors black, yellow and red, disposed
horizontally. This has aroused pro-
tests in Belgium, which claims priority
in precisely the same colors, similarly
disposed, and patriotic societies are
said to be forming to take action to
prevent Germany's adoption of them.
The Belgian claims are based on the
colors of the princes of Flanders and
Brabant In the thirteenth century,
while the German case is said to rest
on the use Of the colors in question by
the ancient Germanic empire.

First Wheat Grown in Canada.

The first wheat that ripened in Ca
madam sunshine vas grown in 1907
at Port Royal, now Annapolis Basin,
Nova Scotia. Here Champlain and de
Monts founded a post and built fort.
They were Joined by Marc Lescarbot,
lawyer Of Paris, poet, and the
earliest writer Of Canadian history.
Love Of adventure drew him to Port
Royal. Outside the palisades of the
fort he cultivated plot of land in
part of which he sowed wheat,
brought, of course, from France. His
sowing was fall or winter wheat. 1t
grew well, dpened perfectly, and with
sickles Lescarbot and his associates
cut the crop. That was the first wheat
crop harvested on land now within the
Dominion Of Canada.

be levied for twenty-six years -1S16.

Robert Peel, in June, 1912, at seven
pence in the pound. and produced
about FIVE million pounds. As show
ing the rapid advance Of the country
In prosperity the tax which produced
about seven hundred and ten thousand
pounds for each penny of tax in 1912
yielded two million six hundred and
ninety-one thousand four hundred and
twenty-five pounds per penny In 1909
1910, and at the present time consid-
erably over three million pounds for
each penny.

Kings Led to War.

Warfare was q spectacular, as well
as a bloody enterprise, in the days OF
antiquity. Plain khaki and sim

soldiers.

chanting sacred songs, were first in
line Of march. They were followed by
1855 youths dressed in purple garments.
A chariot dedicated to the sun was
drawn by snow-white horses, led by
grooms wearing white garments and
carrying golden wands.
Ten chariots embossed with gold
and silver preceded the cavalry of II
nations, dressed in their various cos
tunes and carrying their peculiar
arms.
Then came the Persian immortals,
10000 in number, wearing golden
chains and robes embroidered with
gold and glittering with precious
stones. Following at short distance
came 1900 mobiles, relatives of the
king, dressed in garments wonderfully
wrought.
A company Of spearmen preceded
the king. He rode in an imposing char
Tot, and wore robes of surprising mag
nifcence, and a costly inter on his
head. BY his side walked 200 of his
most noble kinsmen. Ten thousand
warriors, bearing spears with staffs
of silver tipped by heads of gold, fol-
lowed the royal chariot of Xerxes.
The kings horses. 40 in number, with

companied by their ladies on horse
back. Fifteen cars carried the kings
children, their tutors and nurses, and
600 camels, guarded by archers, bore
the royal treasury. The friends and
relatives of the ladies followed with
tie cooks and servants. Light-armed
troops brought up the rear.
When king In those days looked
upon his troops and saw their strength
and splendor, it is no wonder he felt
proud and wished to lead them to bat
tie. Such an army was not meant to
stay at home, where only their coun-
trymen could see them. Other ma
tions would know how powerful king
he was. So he and his followers
marched away, and wars for conquest
began.
Peoples were forced to give them
\ selves up to life of war, either for
conquest or defense. and the great
highways, which peace would have ded-
icated to commerce and prosperity, be-
came military roads over which war
took it's cruel way.

NO REFUGE IN BANKRUPTCY
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
it necessary to liquidate his affairs
was obliged to wear a green cap-a
humility to himself and warning to
others.
Those who made 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 ex-
ecution.
A similar drastic punishment used
to be meted out to delinquent in
Japan. ,-., ...... ... ......@
To come nearer home, one need only
60 back to-a little before the Act of
Union to find that debtors in Scot
land were obliged to wear garments
of diverse colors, suit of gray and
yellow being the most common.

PEELED to work as slave for his cred

At one time bankrupts were consid-
cred criminal offenders even in Eng
land. AS matter of fact, certain
cases of fraudulent bankruptcy have
incurred the death penalty in this
country. Any concealment of books
or the secreting of property by a
debtor was so punished. Under this
law a man called John Perrot was
hanged in 1761.-London Tit-Bits.
