Not So Modern an Invention,

The elevator in buildings is not so mod.
ern an invention as many suppose. In
the royal palace of Luxembourg, neal
Vienna, in 1777, was a machine by which
the empress Queen Maria Theresa, who
was too unwieldy to go up and down
stairs, was conveyed through well from
one story to another. The well or shaft
extended from cellar to roof, and the ele-
vator had three strings, which, when
pulled, served as signals for 'go up,''
down" or ''stop."

Tho Columbus Egg story improved.

AAo OoA"AOus Egg story improved.
Gone day when was alloy at school"
says a writer in the Tribune, "the
class had for reading lesson the story
of Columbus and the egg. In the class
was little Irish boy about my own
age, whose name was Jerry Grady, and
when school was out at noon, jerry
said to me:
Did ye mind that sthory about Co.
lumbus and the egg? Sure, that's not
the way the thrick was done at all, at
oil. Come wild me, and I'll show We
how Columbus done it,
"Jerry's mother kept hens, and when
we reached the house he had no trouble
in finding fresh egg.
First putting clean plate on the
table, Jerry took the egg and shook il
violently for some seconds, or until the
yolk and the white were thoroughly
mixed, like a compound of milk and
water. Then, after holding the egg
upright on the plate until the mixture
inside of it had settled quietly into the
broad base of it, he withdrew his hand
and left the egg standing upright and
alone.
"'There,' said he, that's the way Co
lumbus done it, and have no doubt il
was, for have often done it chat way
and anybody else can do it,

Harrison Tells a Hog Story.

President Harrison very seldom in
dulges IN joke or story, unless he
knows his hearers we'll. One day he
surprised his hearers by telling the
following story to illustrate point:
There was man who had way of
taking his own advice and doing things
to get even. He was hog-dealer and
one season he drove large number of
hogs to indianapolis, distance of 100
miles from home, although he was told
he could get nearly as much for them
at town nearer. Arriving at Indian
apolis he found that the price Of hogs
had gone down. HeIkept them in the
city nearly month. and finally was
offered a higher price than he could get
nearer home. He wanted high price,
and declared he would drive the hogs
back home, which he did at consider
able cost. Then he sold them at home
at q price very much less than that Of
fered in the city. One of his friends
asked him why he had acted so I'M
wisely.
!; Il wanted to get even with them city
hog-buyers," he replied.
"But did you get even?"
SWELL, they didn't get my hogs"
What, pray, did you get cut of the
transaction?
Sect! Why, bless your thick-skulled
head, got the society of the hogs back

who said this in the postoffice the other
day. She was at the head of a long line
of men waiting to be served, and every
man expected there would be one OF
those long and exasperating delays
that usually occur when woman steps
up to the stamp window.
But nothing of the kind happened,
and everybody was pleasantly disap-
pointed. In the first place. she had the

EARRINGS
The History of These Familiar Ornaments
| Briefly Narrated.

Tho History of These Familiar Ornaments
Briefly Narrated.
Earrings have been worn from time I'M
memorial. While excavating the ruins
If ancient Thebes archmologists brought
TO light sculptured remains bearing re-
presentations of these articles. Ancient
writer's make frequent mention OF these
decorations and state that in early days
shey were worn by both sexes. From
The very earliest times the male Asia
tics wore them. The Bible tells US
that Abraham presented his sons wife
with pair of earrings, and historians
relate that Alexander the Great, when
he invaded India, found them suspen-
ded in the ears of the Babylonians.
Among the ancient oriental nations,
with the exception of the Hebrews, men
and women wore them, the latter con-
sidering that they should be reserved
for the sole use of the gentler sex.
Homer makes mention of this method
of adornment in his descriptions of
statues representing several of the
NEUROLOGICAL deities, and the great
Juvenal is authority for the statement
that they were worn by all the males
residing in all the Euphrates provinces.
Ladies and waiting maids among the
ancient Greeks and Romans wore plain
hoops of gold or silver in their ears, and
as time progressed these became more
elaborate, precious gems being set in
them. Many Roman matrons possessed
earrings of the most costly and gor-
geous description, tho setting being
worth thousands of dollars. One of
the most fashionable patterns affected
by those of rank and wealth were
modelled in the form Of an asp, with q
GOLDEN body shaded with gems of the
first water. Earrings that bore the
miniatures Of the dear friends or rela-
tives of the wearers were quite fash
ionable at q very early day, and in
many cases they were attached in the
form of pendants.
In ancient Egypt and India those
made in imitation of the lotus and
Bengal rose were sought after in pref
erance to all other designs.
Among civilized nations the wearing
of earrings by men has been by no
means uncommon, as it has been shown
that in early English days some of the
most distinguished courtiers bedecked
their ears with costly specimens. The
immortal Shakespeare is said to have
worn them, and Charles l. is reputed
to have been the owner OF magnificent
pair of pearl earrings, which he be-
queathed to his daughter the day be-
fore he was executed.
In the South Sea Islands the females

sonal ado 'nment, and even in the wilds
of Africa they are worn by the I'M
tutored savages of both sexes.
At the present day the only civilized
persons of the male sex who ornament
their ears in this manner are the gyp-
sizes, the Italians, the French, a few
sailors of other foreign nations, and oc-
casionally a German, but as matter
of course precious few females the
world over will be found without them
