ANTIQUITY of Gloves.

The antiquity of gloves is very great.
They doubtless antedate history, for the
earliest literature aIludes to them. They
have been known and worn from the re-,
mote ages of the world. Homer, in the
Odyssey, describes Laertes, the farmer
king, the father of Ulysses, in his retire
ment: while gloves secured his handssto
shield them from the thorns." Xenophon
jeers at the Persians for wearing gloves as
protection from the cold. Not only did
they have umbrellas borne over them in
the summer" he says, "but in winter it is
not sufficient for them to clothe their heads
and their bodies and their feet, but they
have coverings made OF hair for their hands
and their fingers" The Romans scorned
such effeminacy at that time, but we are
told that at about the time of Christ the
amanuensis of Pity, the'historian. wore
gloves TO keep his fingers nimhle in cold
weather.-St. Louis Republic.

You start ON Monday with the idea
implanted in your bosom that you are
going to enjoy yourself. You wave an
airy adieu to the boys on shore, light
your biggest pipe, and swagger about the

wish you hadn't come. On Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday you wish you
were dead. On Saturday you are able
to swallow little beef tea, and to sit up
on deck and answer with a wan, sweet
smile when kind hearted people ask you
how you feel now On Sunday YOU
begin to walk about again and take
solid food. And on Monday morning,
as, with your bag and umbrella in your
hand. you stand by the gunwale. wait1n-

L remember my brother-in-law going
for short sea trip once for the benefit
OF his health. He took a return berth
from London to Liverpool, and when he
got to Liverpool the only thing he was
anxious about was to sell that return
ticket.
1t was offered round the town at a
tremendous reduction, so am told, and
was eventually sold for eighteen pence
to a bilious looking youth who had JUST
been advised by his medical man to go
to the seaside and take exercise.
''Seaside!" said my brother-in-law,
pressing the ticket affectionately into
his hand, why, you'll have enough to
last you lifetime. And "a for exercise!
why, you'll get more exercise sitting
down on that ship than you would turn
ing somersaults on dry land"
He himself my brother-in-law-came
back by train. He said the Northwest
ern railway was healthy enough for
him.
Another fellow I knew went for a
weeks voyage round the coast, and be-
fore they started the steward came to
him to ask whether he would pay for
each meal as he had it or arrange be-
forehand for the whole series.
The steward recommended the latter
course, as it would come SO much cheap

whole week at two pounds FIVE. Hesaid

Wake up, little girl.
The sweet hearted flowers
To sunshine uncurl.
In the meadow, in clover
Half way to the knee,
The fieecy white lambkins
Are frisking in glee.
The birds have been out
Since the first peep Of dawn;
The fairies spun laces
All over the lawn.

OF perfume, of cheer;
Make haste, little lassiei
You'll lose. fear.
A song of good morning,
For work, and for play:
The morning is here,
But It's fleeing away
AS fast as the water
That rushes down hill,
As fast as the foam
Drifting under the mill.
Ere we know it, dear child,
Why, our mornings have fledl
It's noon lying hot
On the pathway ahead.
The morning, my darling,
Is dewy and sweet;
'Tis later we bow to
The burden and heat.
So wake, little lady.
God sends a new day.
Don't lose its bright hours
From work or from play.

Ingredients of Flint Glass.

In making flint glass, which is the kind
used in the manufacture of fine table ware
and for cutting and engraving, the great
est care is taken in the selection and mix
ing of the ingredients. Upon the purity OF
these depends the transparency, colorless-
ness and brilliaucy which constitute the
chief value of the product.
The ingredients of flint glass are fine
sand, free from any trace Of iron; red lead,
potash or soda, nitre and cullet. Some
times the red lead is replaced by heavy
gray alkaline earth called baryta, though
it is generally considered that red lead is
essential to the finest quality of flint glass.

scheme for having them published She
would send q line or verse from one of
her poems to the query column of some

came, the name of the poem and that of

would send the querist's own poem TO the
paper with the desired information, and of
course it would appear in print. The quer-
rist would do the same for her friend, and
