all umbrella on the market with handle
adapted to the purpose above described.
II 1t were not for the wise provision of Prov
idence the umbrellas now in use would hardly
prove protection. Each drop of rain is formed
according to a mathematical law; its size de-
pends on the density or rarety of the atmos-
phere These little drops are eased down to
the earth on a cushion of air as a wee babe on
pillow. Were it not for this air-cushion they
would come like so many bullets, cutting veg
citation into shreds, pelting the cattle, and
wounding every unfortunate person caught out
in shower. We would need umbrellas Of
sheetiron and clothes like the steel armor Of
the old warriors.
There are a great many different styles and
ways in which umbrellas and canes are carried.
While each one should be allowed to adopt his
own particular manner of carrying them, no
gentleman will carry his cane or umbrella over
his shoulder or under his arm with both ende
projecting. Yet one sees those that look like
gentlemen doing so on crowded streets and In
public conveyances. Persons who persist In
doing this should be classed with the "banana-
skin fiend."
