An Old Legend Tlint Teil? of the
Origin of the Art.
Laeemaking is by go means so old an
industry as most persons suppose.
There is no proof, that it existed previ
ous to the fifteenth century, and the
oldest known painting in whicB it ap
. pears is a portrait of a lady in the
academy at Venice painted by Cas
paecio, who died about 1523. The leg
end concerning the origin of the art is
as follows:
A young fisherman of the Adriatic
was betrothed to a young and beauti
ful girl of one of the isles of the la
. goon/ Industrious as she was beauti
ful, the girl made a hew net for her
lover, wbXi tcok it with him on board
his boat. The first time he cast it into
the sea he dragged therefrom an exqui
site petrified wrack grass, which he
hastened to present to his fiancee. But,
war breaking out,v the fisherman was
pressed into the service of the Venetian
navy. The poor girl wept at the depar
ture of her lover and contemplated his
last gift to her. But while absorbed In
following the'intricate, tracery of the
wrack grass she began to twist and
plait the threads weighted with small
beads which hung around her net Lit
tle by little she wrought an imitation
of the petrification, and thus was cre
ated the bobbin lace.
We Owe the Hat to Asia.
We owe the hat to Asia, for it was in
that country that, the art of felting
wool was first known, and from the
most remote periods the art was car
ried on by the orientals. In India,
China, Burma and Siam hats are
made of straw, of rattan, of bamboo,
of pith, of the leaf of the Tallport
palm and of a large variety of grasses.
The Japanese made their hats of pa
per. The modern iiat can be traced
back to the petasurs worn by the an
cient Romans when on a journey, and
hats with brims were also used by the
earlier Greeks
It was not until after the Roman
conquest that the use of hats began in
England. A ""hatte of biever," about
the middle of the twelfth century, was
worn by one of the nobles of the land.
Fraissort. describes hats and plumes
which wer?? worn at Edward's court
ill 1340, when the Garter order was in
stituted. The merchant in Chaucer's
"Canterbury Tales" had "on his head
a Flaunderish beaver hat," and from
that period onward there* is frequent
mention of "felt hartes."
Orijrin of' "Hoosier."
An Indiana man who was
taunted about the name of his
'"Hoosier," gave this explanation
"When the young men on th
--diana side of the Ohio river w
IxHHSville, the Kentucky" men
-over them, calling them mew
green!es,' and claiming them*
be a superior race, half horse,
. gator and tipped off wit
turtle. These taunts pr
I^raisville. On one occasion a stout
bully from Indiana was victor in a
fist fight, and, having heard Colonel
liehmanowsky lecture on "The Wars of
Europe/ who always gave martial
prowess to the German hussars in a
fight with the Russian Cossacks, pro
nouncing hussars *hoosiers,' the In
dianian, when the Kentuckian cried
*Enoughf jumped/up and said: "I am
a hoosier.' Anil hence the Indianians
were called by that name. This was
its true origin. I was in the state
when it occurred."?Chicago Chronicle.
The Therasoraeter In Sickness.
Currie of Edinburgh employed a ther
mometer in the treatment of typhoid
?fever patients with the cold douche as
pearly as 1797. He was ridiculed by his
^tman contemporaries as an instance
Medical decay in English medicine,
first clinical application of the
enno meter was made by Santorius of
_ ,adua. He invented a thermometer
open at. t^he end. After being held by
' the patient jit was plunged into cold
water. Bo&rhave taught the impor
tance' of trie thermometer. De Haen
(170-5-177GV must be given the honor
of jntrod/ucing the thermometer into
^-^snrrent jase at the bedside. It was
not unti/1 1S50 to 1S70 that it came into
gener?.V use.

BnSTO and His Critic.
' Victor Hugo once made a queer mis
take in "Travailleurs de la'Mer" when
he mentioned the Firth of Forth as
the "Premier de Quarre." He had con
fused the word "firth" with "first." The
English translator of the book was at
the pains to point this out to the great
man in a letter, but Victor Hugo was
indignant at the impertinence and ab
solutely declined to have the mistake
corrected.
Rain Hats In Korea.
Korea is a country of strange head
dresses, but perhaps the most curious
headgear of all is the immense rain hat
worn by the farmers' wives while
working in the fields during the rainy
season. These extraordinary coverings
are often as much as seven feet long
and five feet broad and protect the
body as effectively as any umbrella
could do.
Rice Staffing.
Rice stuffing for roast chicken or tur
key is considered preferable to the usu
al breadcrumbs. To prepare it brown
one chopped onion in a tablespoonful
of butter and mix with it four cupfuls
of cold boiled rice and one cupful of
breadcrumbs that have beer, moistened
in one cupful of milk. Season with
sage, parsley or other sweet herbs, as
desired. Add half a pound of sausage
meat or finely chopped salt pork and
salt and pepper to taste.
