Primeyal Shirt Studs.

1t may be going to far too affirm that
the lake jewellers wore shirts and en-
ployed laundresses: but il is fact that
there have been found at Moerigen
bronze studs, exactly like the studs which
now adorn the fronts of gentlemen s
shirts, and double buttons in no way
distinguiSbable from the solitaires used
:or fastening wristbands. Ornaments
of gold are seldom met with in the ruins
of Lacrustine villages; nevertheless, two
plates of the precious metal embellshed
with parallel lines. a double and siu-
gle spiral, and twisted fIllet have been
found at Moerigen and Auyernier. These
oh &c appear to have been used as
collars, or, possibly, as badges of prince
~ rank. The single spiral bears a
striking resemblance TO spiral found
by DIR. Schlieman in the ruins of Troy.

Wet Feet AMI Garments.

While it is known that colds result

many if not most of these to wet and

must depend on the care of the feet.
1t is probable that far more of the
waste matter of the system, the per-
spiration, passes out through the feet =

similar surface of the body. Hence,
the feet need thorough washing as
frequently as the face, and then a.

which but aggravates the matter. 1t is
far safer to soak cold feet at bedtime

dash, etc.--than to put them in snow

Suppression Of the Guillo,ine.

The members of tho French Senate
have received from NJ. Charlton copies
of his proposition in reference to the
suppression of the guillotine. nj. Char
ton demands the abrogation of the
twelfth article of the penal code, which
orders that every person condemned
to death shall have his head cut Off"
and in place of ''the mutilation of the
convict's body" '.the employmeat-sO
long as it may be thought impossible to
abolish punishment by death-of a
physical or chemical agency sufficiently
powerful to destroy life instantaneous
w." In spite of NJ. Charton's proposal,
the guilloiine may be expected to con-
tinue its sapgulnary reign for some
years longer; and now that centennial
celebrations are SO much in fashion it is
not improbable that in 1902 the hum
dredth year of its existence will be COM
memorated. 1t was the invention. as
every Que knows, of DR.. Guillotin; who,
in the memoir on the subject which he
presented to the National Assembly.
recommending its adoption, declared
that he had borrowed the idea from 4
machine OF the same kind formerly en-
ployed in England. 1t was doubtless
the decapitaUns machine known as
..the maiden" used at one time in Scot
land, of which DR.. Guillotin was think
ing. He, in any case, improved in
various ways upon his model. which,
by his own account, was a very rough
continuance indeed. A story (adapted
from that of Phalaris and the brazen
bully at one time got abroad 10 the eff
iect that Dir. Gu,llotin was one of the
first to perish by the portentous inven-
ton which he had introduced for the
same humane motives as those which
animate NJ. Charlton in proposing to
replace guillotining BY some still more
rapid process. DIR. Guillotin died. how
ever. a natural death before the forni-
dable instrument named after him had
come into use.--St. James Gazette.

The Jute Industry.

The cultivation of jute in the south,
ern states must ere long become an inn
portant industry. The climate Is favo--
able, and the low, moist soils in al
the Cult States. and such as are not
adapted to cotton, would make the
finest jute plantations in the world.
Jute fiber IS now in great demand in all
civilized countries. and although many
millions OF bales are annually exported
from India, much larger quantity
would be used if it could be obtained
at moderate price. We ought at least
to raise all.that is required by our man.
ufacturers, and we believe that it could
be produced with more profit to the
producer than is now derived from cot

fiber-yielding plants as jute and ramine
must eventually become important in

ers and land owners generally do not
appear to be anxious to try these staples.
