Stockings.

Few of the ancients had any clothing
Tor the lower part of the body, and must
have had extreme difficulty in sheltering
themselves from the severity of the sea
son. The Northern nations first had q
hose or trousers; their stockings were
made of pieces of cloth sewed together.
We cannot say with certainty in what
country the art of knitting originated.
France, England, Spain and Scotland re-
spectively claim this useful discovery.
Some believe it originated i'll Scotland in
the sixteenth century, because when the
French stocking knitters' guild made
choice OF patron saint they selected ST.
Flacre, native Of Scotland. On the
other hand the invention is attributed to
Spaniarti, on the strength of Mezerai,
who asserts that silk stockings were worn
by Henry III of France ut the marriage
OF his sister i'll 1853: but before that Ed
ward vi had graciously accepted pair
from the merchant prince, Sir Thomas
Gresham, who imported them from Spain
the land were they We're first mannfac-
tured: The story goes that q loyal
grandee, the happy possessor G: one of
the first pairs made in Spain, thought he
could not do better than present the
novelties to his queen, and to that end
placed them in the hands of the first
minister Of the crown, greatly to the dis
composure of that modest man, who as

pair of black silk stockings-the first
pair of the kind made in England. Eliza
beth lost no time in putting the gift on
her limbs, and was SO pleased with the
result that she sent for Miss Montague.
and inquired where she procured such

A Curious Lake.

The density Of the water of Lake
Mono Is remarkable, being lust the
reverse of that of Lake Tahoe, in which
the body of drowned person never
returns to the surface. For bitterness
and prOmiscuous meanness the waters of
this lake surpass those of the Dead Sea.
They contain SO much alkali that on a
windy day the lake is n regular tub of
soap-suds. The writer has seen a wall
of lather five feet thick along the whole
of that shore against which the waves
were beating. Occasionally the waves
would take up a bunch of thi, lather as
big as bushel basket and carry it
several hundred feet inland. So buovant
are the waters of the lake that quite
party OF men may navigate them on
raft made of four or five dry cottonwood
poles. Out in the lake are islands Of
rock Qava-like concretions), through
which springs of water boil up. The
water OF these springs is like that of the
lake, and at point where there are
eight or ten feet of water, it is a sort
OF fountain. A column of fresh water
some three feet in diameter is projected
upward with such force that it rises to a
height of at least two feet above the
general level of the lake in the form of q
mound or knoll, and makes a ripping
noise that can be heard considerable
distance. But for the fact that this
fountain has depth of eight or ten feet
OF water to contend against, it would
probably rise to a considerable height in

STORMS.
Wind, Hail and Ram.
Forests Moved Down-Buildipgs Destroyed
Animals Killed.

Last week was a week of storms in this
county. A storm of rain and wind in the
southern part of the county did considerable
damage on wednesday. man in jamestown
is reported to have lost three head of cattle
by lightning.
On Friday storm of rain, hail and wind
swept through west Grant. The hail damaged
some and with others the wind was the worst
foe. In some parts of Beetown, Bloomington
aud Glen Haven the reports are that fences
were completely demolished. The storm had
its focus near Kuenster's, where we are told
cattle were blown about unable to keep their
feet, and span of horses were said to be lifted
from the ground and one of them killed
BY being dashed against fence 10 such a
manner as to run stake into his body Some
buildings were unreofsd.
But the biggest storm was on Saturday
evening II was felt over nearly the whole
county. At Lancaster it passed over our
heads making fearful commotion of cloud:
in the heavens. Many people in alarm kept
on the streets or ia their cellars,
This was the case also in PlatteviIle. II
