A Safe Investment,
Antiquity OF the Handkerchief.

That there was time when there were
no handkerchiefs is as certain as that there
was once an epoch when there was an I'M
created world. The handkerchief could
not be evolved before the sense Of ueatness
that called it into being, for the law of sup
ply and demand is as old as the creation.
For its comparatively modern advent there
are sufficient reasons. Civilization began
in regions where the climate was mild and
colds uncommon. This was the case in
Egypt, in Syria, in India and about the
Mediterranean. There has nothing been
found on an Egyptian tomb or obelisk that
suggests the handkerchief. Assyrian monu-
meuts throw no light on the subject, and
even in regard to ancient Greece the matter
is in doubt.
But though the fashionables of the old
world were required to blow or wipe the
nose rarely, there were other uses for such
spare drapery as they had about their per-
sons. They perspired freely and wept
often, either from grief or rage, or because
the sand of the desert was blown into their
eyes. What more natural than that the
person who perspired or wept should re-
move the superfuous moisture with the
end or corner OF his flowing garments, and
that in the course Of time it should seem
to him more neat and proper to have a
separate piece Of woven fabric for that
purpose?-San Francisco Chronicis. snv5s
