the well deserved reputation Of being
not only one Of the neatest and clean

also the credit Of being reliable and

 Very Ancient.

It's Exact Origin Is Unknown. but It Is
 Very Ancient.
 No one knows whether the umbrella was originally used us a defense against rain or as 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 Il power. Why shouldn't tho palm-leaf be the first sunshade. with its ribs and handles to ordere Ii hints at the umbrella as 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 Gulliver. The umbrella has very great antiquity. The word itselt means 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 it's 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 tho eighteenth century and the modern stcel-ribbed silk-covered, slender ar- ticle which it is regarded as misfor- tune to get wet.
 The desideratum Ut present is a DOT table umbrella. There is 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 i'll the bill. When it begins to rain the picturesque and stately Corean swell reaches into his sleeve and produces n folded oiled paper affair resembling a fan. This is spread and set over the hat like an extinguisher. and is kept in place by two strings held un- der the chin. It is not very large. but anything that will cover Corcan hat will keep the rain from a Corean. - Irish Times.

 Thus appealed to. the broad-should- cred, smiling g-faced man. whose spirit pervades the great copper mine. step ped up to the little group waiting for dinner in the hotel in Calumet.
 1t was pigs" he said. 1,
 Hes, it was pigs echoed the group.
 "Pigsr' I exclaimed. incredulously.
 Pigs, and no mistake" returned the captain. Back in 1863 an explor- ing party came here to try to find cop- per. They built shanty to live in. and. of course, they brought some pigs One night the pigs were lost The boarding house keeper started out to find them. After a long search he heard the pigs roofing and squealing but he could not see them.
 .'The noises seemed to come from down in the earth. Next morning a party of men went pack to the place whence the noises came. and. after q search. they found pit ten or fifteen feet deep The mouth was covered with bushes. and the growth of the trees about the sides gave every evi- dence that it had not been used for centuries. There the pigs were oon- tentedly roofing among the broken pieces of rock.
 A rude stone hammer and some charred sticks gave evidence of earlier explorers, who had evidently gone away unsuccessful. The hammer was of the same kind as the other imple- ments. which had been traced back to the days of the predecessors of the Indians whom the French found in pos session of tho lands-the Indians who built the mounds and who overran the whole country from Mexico to Lake Superior where they got copper for their implements anu utensils.
 .The moundbuilders. like the ex- plorers who had discovered the ancient pit looked for copper only in masses, as 1t had been deposited In Assure veins and in the lava flows. The huge chunks of virgin copper weighing many tons. and the smaller masses hanging in the rocks like metal icicles, were the only kind known to the an. clients, and the moderns had been assured by the learned geologists that copper could be found only in rocks formed from lava.
 But the pigs had turned over pieces of rock formed by the action of the aqueous rock--and in these conglomerates there certainly was cop per. This seemed find indeed. But when the matter was reported science scoifed at the explorers. saying that the copper conglomerates found were simply freak of nature, and tha, money would be wasted if an attempt should be made to work them.
 '.So Mir. Hurlburt who owned the lands. continued to give his attention to the Huron mine. which was work ing the lava flows. For the money he borrowed for the Huron he gave to Quincy Shaw, of Boston. the lands on which the eonglomerates were found. Mir. Shaw soon began to work those rocks, and from these beginnings the richest, most staple and the best prom ising copper mine in the world has been built up. '-D Detroit Tribune.
