HISTORY OF THE UMBRELLA,
Its Exact Origin Is Unknown, but 1t Is
Very Ancient.

No one knows whether the umbrella
was originally used as defense
against rain or as a screen from the
sun, but it seems probable that the
first umbrellas were sunshades. In
countries where very little clothing is
worn rain does not make much differ
ence, but the sun is a power. Why
shouldn't the palm-leaf be the first
sunshade. with its ribs and handles to
well as the fan.
Travellers among the Amos of Japan
often make temporary sunshades of
gigantic dock leaves, which are some
times six feet high, large enough for
an account of CULVER. The umbrella
has a very great antiquity. The word
itself means a little shadow" show
ing that it was named for its protec-
ton from the sun in this case. Hor-
ace says:
Among the military standards the
sun beholds an Egyptian canopy"
On coins and in the rock carvings Of
the ancients the umbrella often shows
its familiar form. This goes to prove
that Jonas Hanway did not invent the
umbrella but he saw the value of the
Eastern sunshade, and soon it became
the fashion to carry this article of ap-
parel. There must be great differ
ence between the umbrella of the
eighteenth century and the modern
steel-ribbed. silk-covered, slender ar
ticIe which it is regarded as mifor-
tune to get wet.
The desideratum at present is a por-
table UMBRELLA There is a fortune
for the man who invents really good
umbrella which can be slowed in a
valise or trunk. There is an unpat-
ented Corean umbrella that may fill
the bill. When it begins to rain the
picturesque and stately Corean swell
reaches into his sleeve and produces
folded, oiled paper affair resembling
fan. This is spread and set over
the hat like an extinguisher, and is
kept in place by two strings held UNI
der the chin. It is not very large, but
anything that will cover Corean hat
will keep the rain from a Corean.

Il can be got without excessive cost.
But the farmer who buys manure Of
any kind should take especial care to
save all that he makes at home. To
allow piles of stable manure to be ex-
posed to air and rains for months at a
time while buying commercial fertil-
izers is the surest way to failure Each
contains what the other is deficient in.
Mineral manure is made more efficient
by combining it with that from the
stable, and the more good stable
manure the farmer has the more min
eral fertilizer he can afford to buy to
apply with it.

Man Or Money.

1t looks as If the prime issue in pol
itics in this country will sooner or
later be imam or money" Then
choose which you will serve. If you
believe in Alliance principles you can
not vote for the money power or for
the candidates of parties that uphold
it. Industrial people must stand on
their own ground and be true to their
own interests. The money power will
need no prompting in this respect It
will look out and take care of itself
1ndustrialists must do the same if
they would protect themselves and
survive the capitalistic depicting pro-
cess now going on.-The National
View.

Domestic Dots.

We do so many things without due con-
sideration that cost us heavily.
An oyster-shell in the tea. kettle will
prevent the formation of crust in the in
side.
To cleanse teakettle, take it away
from the fire and wash off with rag
dipped in kerosene, followed by rubbing
with dry flannel cloth.
A simple cement for broken china or
earthenware is made Of powdered quick
lime sifted through coarse muslin bag
over the white of an egg.
A remedy for creaking hinges is mutton
tallow rubbed on the joint. A great many
locks that refuse to no their work are sim
ply rusted and will be all right if carefully
oiled
To mend cracks in stoves and stove
pipes, make paste of ashes and salt with
water and apply. A harder and more
durable cement is made Of iron filings, sal
ammonia and water.
20 not fill lamps to the top, and do not
uurn them entirely empty, for fear Of an
explosion. Do not keep them on the
chimney piece or in very warm place,
lest the gas expand with the heat and thus
cause explosion.
An invalid writing pad is something
new. 1t consists Of a tray fitted with
blotter and other necessaries, which can
be supported at will upon four short legs,
called into use by means of a spring.
When not in use the legs fold close under
the tray.
The best silversmiths advise the use of
boiling hot water, CASTLE soap, stiff
brush and chamois leather to clean silver.
stiff plate brush is said by experts to be
much better than the soft plate in general
use. Silver not in use should be kept in
cotton flannel bags.
An inexpensive portiere can be made of
rope. Select good smooth piece; that
which is sold for cotton clothes lines is
often used. After the poles and rings are
in place cut the ropes in lengths SO they
will reach from the rings to within a few
inches Of the floor; fringe out the lower
end of each length six or eight inches and
tie knot above to hold it.; fasten each
length into ring Some prefer the ropes
Of two lengths.

Farm Notes.

Lice will live in the stables for years.
Whitewash and kerosene is a good rem
edy for lice.
Look well to the general comfort of the
animals to secure the best results.
Cut straw and clover, mixed with lit
tie bran, makes ration almost equal to
good timothy hay.
Market the surplus stock in good season.
There is no gain in keeping stock that will
not make good growth for the food sup
piled.
1t is not the largest animals that return
the most profit, but the one that makes
the best growth in the shortest time in
proportion to the amount of food supplied.
Whether the hogs have the run Of the
pastures or are fed in close pens, it is very
necessary to keep their sleeping and eating
quarters clean and dry in order to main.

A Potent influence.

The laws of every country have pro-
ceeded from the interests of the legis-
lator, the demands of the hour, or to
meet the exigencies of Ignorance or
superstition. The interest of the leg
.islator has been the most potent influ-
ence in every country; for that rea-
son the interests Of every vocation and
business should be represented in
every legislature, in the ratio that the
interest Of each bears to the aggre-
cate.

The Farmers, D.sinfec,a,t.

People are learning that nature fur
nishes a great many healing agencies.
simple, harmless and inexpensive.
Air, earth and water and sunshine
are better medicines for many of the
ills of life than any pharmacist or
physician can compound and certainly
cheap enough to be within the reach
of every one. The Rural Home speak
ing on the subject of disinfectants for
farmers says:
The farmer has at his command a
disinfectant, a cleansing, purifying
agent better than any agent he can
buy. 1t costs nothing but the labor
to procure it. It is earth-fresh,
clean earth.
Used in the stables it absorbs the
liquid manure, and holds it till used,
thus becoming in itself rich fertil-
izer. Several inches of earth should
be under the cows fore feet as they
stand in the stalls. and renewed as
often as it works to the gutter. This
saves the planking, and prevents the
hoofs from making holes in it.
Earth is a foe to vermin, and if used
plentifully in the poultry quarters lice
cannot live. Here also, it is an absorb
ant and the droppings are saved and
by the admixture of earth. prepared in
part, for use in the spring. This is
the richest fertilizer on the farm
equal to guano, and the earth may be
a savings-bank in which it is depos-
tied.
The nests of sitting hens should be
made of earth with only a thin layer
of cut straw on top. A dust bin is in
dispensable. If the fowls have it and
earth is used plentifully under the
roosts, and in the nests, lice are ban
ished.
In the sheep. pig, and young stock
pens earth should be used with lavish
hand, for it, is the scavenger-it ena-
bles him to gather up the fragments Of
manure and there is no part of the
farm economy more important than
this cleaning and saving of the nat
| ural fertilizers. It is the life of the
farmer-of the farm-it is his bank
| and the dividends are sure.

That's a Fact.

In a battle soldier was wounded in
the head by a javelin. The surgeon
examined the wound and told the
man that, as the weapon had not
touched his brain, there was every
prospect of his recovery. Had I
possessed any BRAIN" said the soldier.

The old adage that what is saved
rather than what is made conduces to

California Fruits in New YORK.

NEW YORK, Jan. %. The Improvement noted
recently in the demand for California dried
