At one time In England and Scot land bankrupts were compelled to wear a distinctive dress. This was a result of enactments passed at various times In Scotland from the year 1000 to 1088. The Edinburgh court of hcs slons specified the dress to bo of parti color, ono half yellow and tho other brown, aomethlng nfter the Htylo of the dress now worn In English prisons by the worst class of prisoners, those who have attempted to escape or been guilty of murderous assaults on offi cers. The enactment also provided that the bankrupt Hliould be exhibited pub licly In the market plnco of his town for a period of two honrs and then sent away, condemned to wear tho ilrcss until nuch time as be had puld his debtn or Homo one elso had done it for him. Although this was a period of laws which can only bo described as fero cious, this law wns such an outrage on public sentiment that In 1088 It wns so far repealed that tho wearing of tho dress was only compulsory In cases in which fraud had been proved or, curi ously enough. If the bankrupt had been convicted of smuggling, The snmo practice wns legal, but not gen erally In force In England down to the year 1830. The Idea wns, of course, to warn persons who might havo given credit that the bankrupt was not aide to pay, but popular sentiment soon rec ognized that it was wholly unfair to impose such excessive penalties ml n igan who might have become bank rupt through no fault of his own, and, ns usual, when tho law became contra ry to public feeling it ceased to be op erative.

On KuiMvn In HUlury m tb "Vlelorr u( Vli'lurlKn," The liatllu which In known In history iih 1 1 ic "Victory of Victories" took place at Nelinveiid, III Kcliaiana, anil was fought between Ilia new Moslem power In U'I7 mid tho empire of Per sia, then one of the moat powerful of the eaHtern monarchies. It was one of the must absolutely decisive Imi I ties In the history uf war, mid It was all tho more iiiiiaxtiig by reason of I he fact " that it was won by a peoplu which ' twenty years before had been un known barbarians, lost In the desertu of Arabia. Arabian historians place tho I'cridiiti loss lu n hlunle day at 100,000 men killed. This may be and probably Is nil eXiigKeratliiii, lint the fact reunites that the I'rrnlau dynasty coiuu to an ' mil when the battle was over mid that .oronslrlniilsm. which hnd been the re ligion of I'erslu for over a thousand years, was ut once supplanted by I Iiiiii. Its modern representative, as la well known, nro now tho I 'unices of India. 'i'ho victory was so absolutely do clslvo that It extended tho Arabian do minions over tho whole of the roglon lying between the Caspian sea and the Indian ocean. With tha except lou .er baps of the battlo of Tours, no luglo , tight over made sucb a difference In the after history of ths world. ... - - , Toatlh Packakln.
