Men fight not for what they want, but
for what they think they want; and it re-

GREAT deal of newspaper fun has been
poked at Mr.. Keely, of Philadelphia, be-
cause of his so-oalled preposterous
claims in regard to the Kelly moter.
Now, the great trouble with Kelly is not
that his moter will not mote, bat that he
does not claim enough. If Mr.. Kelly
keeos quiet for few years more, the
CLAIM that he has made for his moter will
be preposterous, not because he claims
too much, but because he has claimed
too little. The old Inan only requires TO
keep shady for another too years, when
SO many things will have been invented
that will 50 far surpass his moter, that
when Kelly then makes claims which
hitherto have been considered well ex-
aggerated, people will say to him: cob,
that's nothing; so-and-so's invention
does that" or "Mr. Blank invented some
thing which put that in the shade alto
gether." There is now running at the
Paris exposition hydraulic train that
already discounts the Kelly moter. The
train consists of four carriages and has
room for about 100 passengers. The
train runs as smoothly IS a boat on
water. There are no wheels, no steam,
do electricity, apparently noticing to
make it go. Yet it is a hydreulic train
which will go at the rate of 125 miles an
hour, while as far as motion may be felt
there is none of it. The passenger can
not tell by any vibration of the car that
he is moving at all.

ANTIQUITY OF THE GLOVE.
An Emblem of Power and of Purity, of Def
ance and subsection.

An Emblem of Power and of Purity, of Def
ance and subsection.
No article of attire has more of Interest
il Its associations aud history than gloves:
for while the interest attaching TO most
other garments hiss been mainly
that of utility, TO gloves has been attached
a varied aud widespread symbolism Civ
ing them an exalted place and linking
them with many curious observances,
regal, ecclesiastical, military and social.
The glove has been the smhlem of
power and of purity, of defiance and sub
lection. Lands and personsl property
were once conveyed by the delivery of a
glove; authority of kings over provinces
was attested by presenting glove; kings
invested barons with dominion by bestow
lug on the favorite one of the kingly
gloves; and many ecclesiast ical and legal
ceremonies could only be performed with
white gloves, the emblems of purity.
The antiquity of gloves is very great;
they doubtless ante date history, for the
earliest literature alludes TO them, and
they have been known snd worn from the
earliest ages of which we have any knowl-
edge. Homer, in the ''Odyssey" describes
Laertes, the farmer-king, the father of
x
secured his hands to shield them from the
thorns." Xenophop jeers at the Persians
for wearing gloves as protection from
the cold; not only did they have umbrellas
borne over them In summer, not being
content with the shade of the trees and
rocks, but in the winter it is not sufficient
for them to clothe their heads, and their
bodies, and their feet, but they have cover
ings made of hair for their hands and
their fingers. In their earlier days the
Greeks and the Romans s,orned such
effeminaoy, but at a later day, in the time
of Piiny, the uncle of that lively histor-
ian is described as travelling with an
amanueRsis who wore gloves upon his
hands in the winter lest the severity o the
weather should make him lose any time"
in writing.
From time immemorial the glove has
had legal significance in oriental coun-
tries the transfer of property, just as the
Goods penny" was formerly used to "bind
bargain" 10 the West. A disputed pass
age in the Old Testam ent-Ruth w., and
9--reads: Now this was the manner in
former time in Israel, concerning chang =
ing, for to confirm all things; a man pluck
ed off his shoe and gave it TO his neighbor;
and this was in testimony in Israel." 1t
is now commonly agreed by scholars that
the word shoe should be rends red glove,
for in the Chaldaic paraphrase the word
is rendered "tbe case or covering of the
right hand" and accepting this view it
appears that among the Israelites the
passing of a glove was the metaod of
transferring property,
Later the glove as pledge or emblem
of conveyance, came into use among the
Romans, whose ancient law held property
to have passed with its literal transfer, or
of part of if, into the hands of the pur
chaser; and the glove, doubtless as mat
ter of convenience, took the place of and
symboljzed this actual transfer.
