V- -v.," Fir* Umbrmttm SAmW RmUmnt, ?/ Wind?, ' Wbeo we trip ft* Ik m a ralar *aeatb a wMHpmdln umbrella, aa? ear* In the feeJleg that nr but Nft> net will no< be mined by trrui r?lft> dropa, vt do not felok we art dotal aoythlng accent rit or modern. To bo CVro. no umbrella la neither modem nor eccentric, so hur aa the preeeat-dey meanings of the worda are concerned. But the umbrella la, nevorthelcea, com paratively modera, when we eooelder that It Is less tbaa UW years old. Among old Colonial records In Now England there Is an indignant account of the atrocious actions of a eoclety hello of Windsor. Oonn. It eeerna tbat the fair damsel walked forth upon a rainy day. bearing above her haughty head an umbrella that hud befa brought to her from tbe Weil Indies. The good* townspeople, shocked and dis mayed at such frivolity, thronged about her. open-mouthed, and, to show thalr disapproval, hotated their large 'alevta on long spoon bandies, and followed ber with rldlculoae, mincing steps. In 1797 there was but one umbrella la Cambridge, llaee^ and the owner of K made many a coed pea ay renting It out by tbe boor to cautloaa pereoat who happeoed to be onagbt out ta the rain. The rsassa why umbrellas were eo slow, to becoaae generally adopted probably was because people of means did not travel oa foot, eo bad not great need of umbrellas/ and thoee without means did not poaaesa clothing eo fiae that It must be protected from the rain. Women carried em br el lee long before men could delga to adopt them. It wae considered effeminate fA rather below tbe dignity of the hardy man te go about under the abetter of a Aimer umbrella.

Bath stone has been used for centuries for building In England, but Bath atone Is delicate, and falls a victim to disease In bad air. It Is obtained more or less like coal from underground galleries rather 'than from quarries, and It must not be brought to the surface In winter or It will not weather hard. It must be nursed and matured before It Is used, and unless it is set tbe right way of the grain It will not wear. Cot His Dates Mixed A friend from out of town called at my office and invited me to lunch. The conversation led to subjects of family, health and so on. My friend asked how old I was. I said I wan forty-two, though I am sixty-two. "Well," he replied, "you look about forty-two." Each of us knew the other was ly ing, but, of course, there were no ac cusations. ^ About two weeks later we met again, and lunched together. My friend wanted to know how old my" son was, and accidentally* I told him the truth. He studied for a moment, and thea aald: "You're a cheerful liar, Jo ha. and the youngest father I've ever known. You must haVe been about three when your sop was born." Sir John Afandevilles Story Sir John Mandeville, whose adven turous career camo to an end at Liege over " 560 years ago, was the first Englishman to visit the Far Baal and write an account of bis travels la the English language. Sir John's account of his Journey Into unknown lands sounds very much like Baroil Munchausen, for he apparently accepted as sober-truth all the legends and wonders which w oce poured into his credulous ear. For two centuries after his death Mandeville's work was recognized as an authority on all questions of Oriea tal geography. ? Detroit News. Relic b in Old Houue .
