RECORDS WRITTEN ON WOOD
Laws So Recorded Were Rather for
Preservation Than With Idea of
General Circulation.

IOnian culture was different in it's
form from any development of later
times, and most difficult to under
stand, having been addressed to the
ears and not to the eyes, writes Mary
Mills Patrick in the National Geo
graphic Magazine. The sixth century,
r. c., was an age without free dis
tribution of written records, and the
beginnings of libraries were mostly col
lections of wooden tablets.
Some of the great men of the lat.
ter part of this period each wrote Il
book. but it was lab0rious task.
Heraclitus of Ephesus was one Of
those who wrote book which was
kept for safety in the temple of Di-
ana at Ephesus. A book was not a
thing to be lightly regarded, and the
process of writing was SO difficult that
it was far easier to remember what
one had written than to decipher it
from Il book.
Greek writing was hard to read be-
cause neither the. words nor the sen
tences were divided from each other,
and the lines ran both from right to
left and from left to right. Solon and
PittakOs wrote their laws on wooden
tablets. However, they did not write
them for general circulation, but rather
to preserve the laws they had pro-
mulgated.
Highland recorder. (Monterey, Highland County, Va.) 1877-1972, 1920-06-11
FORTUNES LEFT BY MISERS
Hard for Normal Mind to Understand
What Actuated the Hoarders
of Great Riches.

Thomas Cooke, known as "the Is
lington miser," who lived a life of
penury, saving and petty trickery in
ISlington, borough Of London, Eng
land, left q fortune Of more than
100000 for his heirs to Squabble over
after his death. Cooke managed to
get his meals free of cost by the old
and yet ever new trick of falling in a
pretended fit in front Of Il house at
dinner time. He would be carried into
a house and then, on making his usual
quick recovery, lie naturally would be
asked to share the meal.
Among other beggars who left for
tunes after death was Jeremiah MOni-
han, upon whom, when he was about
to be buried in st. Louis, was found a
key to safety deposit box. The safe
ty box contained 100000 in perfectly
good interest-bearing bonds. Another,
Marshall McMurran, a ragged recluSe,
was found in a starving condition in
his tiImbledown shack on the outskirts
of Evansville, Ind. He was taken be-
fore 4 commission for examination as
to his sanity and when he was
searched $4,000 was found in the lin
ing of his coat and in his pockets.

HAD BRIEF DAY OF FAME
Beautiful Paisley Shawl Achieved I'm.
mense Popularity, but Only for
a Short Time.

The story of the Paisley Shawl-a
specimen, hear, has just been pre-
sented to Lady m-Carter-forms
one Of the shortest and most romantic
chapters in the modern history of in
dustTy, says a writer in the West
minister Gazette. The manufacture Of
these beautiful things was begun,
reached a great height of prosperity
and became extinct in the space Of
little over eighty years. No Paisley
shawl has been woven since 1880, and
none is likely ever to leave the looms
again. The shawl had its origin in
the ambition Of the Paisley weavers
to produce ON the loom the amazingly
elaborate patterns, woven by the
needle, Of the Cashmere shawls that
had been sent home from the East by
Scottish officers and traders to their
women folk.
The Paisley weavers were notable
craftsmen, and they produced shawl
which eXceIed its prototype in beauty
of design and richness of color. Their
success was the reward of patience,
skill, taste and delicacy of touch
which, experts say, has probably never
been cqualed before or since
in the weaving craft. A common price
for one of these shawls. in the days.
when they were not rarity was 500.
and they were worn by women OF all
classes in Scotland except the very
poor Then fashion decreed that the
Paisley shawl should no longer be the
mode, and its fate was sealsl. Queen
Victoria gave the dying industry a
new, but brief lease of life when she
bought seventeen. of the famous
shawls and wore one at the baptism
of the prince who was to become King
Edward.

sAVAGEs USED POISON GAS
Natives of Brazil Successfully En-.
ployed That Weapon Against the
Spanish Invaders.

The Guarans and other native
tribes along the Rio Parana, in Brazil
used poison gas centuries ago for mil
itary purposes. How they did it was
described time and again by early
Spanish chroniclers, an exchange OBJ
serves.
When attacking a fortified village
they would prepare pans of glowing
Goals, which they spr;niled with Il
kind of pepper called "agi." This gave
off suffocating fumes. which a favor
ing breeze would carry over the be-
sieged town.
The fumes did not kill, but were
sufficiently noXious to deprive the be-
sieged of all power of resistance
fact which beleaguered outpost gar
risons of Spaniards discovered to their
cost on more than one occasion.
In that part of the world, as else
where, the policy of the Spanish in
vaders, when dealing with the abor-
igines, was one of wholesale and sys-
tematic cruelty. They specialized in
ruthless massacre. But they did not
always win, and there survives in the
Amazon basin today tribe called
the Lorenzos' who are nearly white
phenomenon alleged to result from
their capture, centuries ago, Of a num-
Der of white women as spoil OF the
successful siege of Spanish town.

RUGS MADE TO APPEAR OLD
Ingenious Method by Which Genuine
Antiques" Are Furnished to Sup
ply the Demand.

How genuine antique rugs" are
manufactured and prepared for Euro
pcan and American markets is told
by an American who visited Bagdad.
The shopping streets seem like tun-
nels. They are arched overhead with
brick to keep out the heat; thus they
run, like subways, up and down the
bazaar quarter. Through those long,
Sitting, family lighted tunnels throngs
the eternal crowd of men, mules and
camelS.
Often one will see a fine rug lying
fiat in the filth of a narrow street,
ground beneath the tramp of men
and beasts, but there is method in
this. Foreigners make oriental rugs,
bright and new, in Persia, and sell
them through Bagdad. Since an "old
rug" is worth more, willy brokers have
hit On this way to make a new rug
look old.
