THE UMBRELLA. |
t It Probably at Ancient at the Race
of Man.
The umbrella is undoubtedly of
ligh antiquity, appearing in various
orms on the sculptured monuments
if Egypt, Assyria, Greece and
tome, and in hot countries it has
>con used since the dawn of history
is a sunshade, a use signified from
ts name, derived from the Latin
imbra, a shade. In the east the
imbrella has even been a symbol of
>ower and royalty, and in many
ountries it has become part of reigious
as well as royal symbolism.
The Chinese date the first umbrella
jack to 4,000 or 5,000 years anterior
o the Mosaic date of creation.
Among the Greeks and Romans
he umbrella was used by women,
vhile its use by men was considered
?ffeminate. Less than 100 years
igo a large umbrella was kept hangng
in the halls of good houses in
England to keep visitors dry as they
Mssed to and from their carriages.
At hotels and restaurants also they
irere occasionally used in the same
rav for the benefit of invalids or
iged people. But nobody ever
thought of carrying an umbrella in
I/UC DlUVl. #
It is said that Lord Cornwallis
when he had been dining with a
friend and was about to enter his
carriage to return home stopped a
moment at the door to speak a parting
word to his host. It was raining
in torrents, and a servant standing
by took up the house umbrella to
hold it over his lordship's head
when the old soldier exclaimed
wrathfully: 'Take that thing away!
Do you suppose I am a sugar doll to
melt in a shower, or do you take me
for a woroap, wto is afraid of her
fine headgear? 1 have not been all
this time fighting mv country's battles
to be frightened now at a little
cold water. If powder aud lead
didn't annihilate me, a shower of
raindrops may be risked."
The largest umbrella in the world
was made in Glasgow for a king of
wst Africa. It can be opened and
closed in the usual way and when
open is twenty-one feet in diameter.
The staff also is twenty-one feet
long..
New York and Philadelphia are
t{ie centers of the umbrella industry
in this country, and more than
8,000,000 are made annually. The

Wit.
F. P. Rurnand. the English hunwri-t.
when preparing in his youth
to enter the priesthood was ordered
hy the novice master at bs college
"to clean the windows. He humbly
consented to do so if the master
would give him a lesson in the art.
but directly the man got outside tne
window on to the ledge Burnand
fastened the eatch and left him out
there. For this Dr. (afterward Cardinal)
Manning severely rated the
novice, telling him that he would
make a better shoemaker than
priest.
"Well, you leave me, at any rate,
the cure of soles," is 6aid to have
been the witty reply.

HIS SHARE OF THE LOAD.
A Story of Archduke Albrecht and a
Peasant Girl.
The Archduke Albrecht of Austria
was fond of hunting and spent
a month or two every summer in
the Tyrol and upper Austria in pursuit
of the chamois. On these occa- |
6ions he wore a hunter's uniform, j
which was chronically in a shabby
condition. One day he wandered
away from his party and, finding
* ?' rtAmmrr nn KnnrQn
luai Illgut w no tuniiiifj v", >/vjuu
hastily to descend the mountain to-,
ward ischl. Soon he overtook a girl
of nineteen or twenty, who was carrying
an enormous load of firewood,
on the top of which was perched a
chubby child about two years old.
The archduke hailed her, and the
girl greeted him with anything but
a friendly look.
"What do you want?" asked she.
"Can you tell me the shortest
road down to Ischl?"
"I am going there. You can follow
me," she retorted curtly.
The archduke went on beside her,
but it made him uneasy to see her
bearing so great a load.
! "This is far too heavy for you,
my girl," said he. "Give me that
child. I will carry him." ?
"Much you know about carrying
children, old fool!" she exclaimed.
"No. You take the firewood and 1
will keep the youngster. You may
well do that, for if you hadn't met
vnn'd run a pood chance of
o
spending the night on the mountain."
The archduke undid the scarf and
transferred the fagota to his own
shoulders, so that, with his gun and
game bag, he was pretty heavily
laden. Then the girl fell to chaffing
him about his ridiculous $ppearance,
and as he trudged on for
about an hour he began to be a little
tired of his bargain.
Suddenly at a cross path he came
upon his suit, and their greeting at
once betrayed his identity to the
girl. She fell on her knees before
him, and tears sprang to her eyes
when she saw two of his hunters removing
the fagots from his bruised
shoulders.
"Don't cry; there's a good girl!"
pleaded the archduke, distressed.
Then he pressed a purse into the
baby's hands. "Here is something
to buy your mother a donkey," he
said, with a kindly smile. "She
might not always find an old fool
to help her carry her firewood!"
Glazed Currant Buna.
Soften a cake of compressed yeast
in ?ne half cup of scalded and cooled
milk and add to a pint of the
same. Stir in about three cups ol
flour, beat until very smooth, then
cover' and set to rise. When light
add one-half cup sugar, one-half cup
softened butter, one teaspoonful
salt, three eggs, one cup of cleaned
currants and about three cups ol
flour. Knead until elastic and set
to rise. When doubled in bulk, roll
out into a sheet and cut into rounds
Set the rounds a little distance
apart on a baking sheet, and when
doubled in bulk bake about twentyfive
minutes. Brush over with a
thin starch (a teaspoonful of cornstarch
to a cup of boiling water),
sprinkle thickly with granulated
sugar and return to the oven to
glaze. Repeat the glazing process
until a heavy coating is formed.
This recipe makes two pans of buns.

"Rootar," "Bug" and "Fan."
It must, indeed, be admitted in
all justice that, although lexicographers
have not as yet devoted
men diuuicu tu me ouwjtv/i, iuviv
does eiist a nice distinction among
the terms "rooter," "bug" and
"fan." Any one may be a rooter
if he attends a baseball game only
once in a lifetime and yells.. A
bug, too, need not be a steady patron.
His chief requirement is ability
to quote data and statistics dealing
with averages, games and players.
But the fan! He is as far
above the others as a mahatma
above a cooly. To him baseball is
sleep, meat and drink. It becomes
a fetich. Having passed through the
stages of rooter and bug, the soul
of a fan frequently achieves a Nirvana
that enables him to express
untold passion by a mere eye glint.
Again, he may elect to roar. He is
Ihe sublimation of baseball fervor,
getting out of it all there is in it.
Not Hit Funtral.
Mrs. Smith repeatedly reminded
her husband that the silver was
hers, the furniture was hers, and so }
on, until poor omitn almost wisnea
he had married a girl without a penny.
The other night Mrs. Smith
awoke to hear strange voices in the
lower part of the house and, vigorously
punching her husband in the
ribs, called: "John, get up! There j
are burglars down below!"
"Eh?" inquired Mr. Smith sleepily.
"Burglars downstairs!" shrieked
Mrs. Smith.
"Burglars ?" said Smith as he !
turned over. "Well, there's noth-j
jag of mine there!" * 1
FOR A HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT.
Petitions are Being Circulated In Behalf
of Kingstree Graded School.
Kingstree is in line for a share of
the State appropriation for high
sjhools. We are already maintaining
a high school department in the
graded school with two teachers and
fifty pupils. Our greatest need to
bring this department, a9 well as
the entire 6ehool, up to the highest
standard is a lack of funds and
rnnm W? will hsivp fhp room in a
short time. Hu: that will onlv emI
# J
phasize the need of fuuds to maintain
a standard of teaching in keeping
with the building. It is true
the high school will not bring in a
great deal of money, but it will, at
least, relieve for a short time the
strain. It seems to me that it is
our duty to add to the efficiency of
our schools in every legitimate way
possible. Whatever is best for the
! gieatest number of children is best
| for the town.
The reader will see by the synopsis
of the-high school act given below
we may receive $600 fiom the
State without an extra levy on the
I part of our people, or without the
expenditure of any more money for
school purposes than we now haveAc
extra levy cannot be made exJ
cept by the vote of the people, and
' that is not being asked for now,

in a short time calling for an election
as required by the high school
act. We do not expect to find a
man who will hesitate to sign the
petition, or who' will vote against
, the establishing of the high school.
If there is anyone who does not fully
understand the movement, or who
| is in any way opposed to it, the suplerintendnet
or the trustees would be
I glad to talk with him and to furI
uish him with literature.
