THIS time grandma was going away
to be gone year. and Kitty was
more heartbroken than at the other
visit. '.Pm so Cushioned to have youv
she said.
Grandma promised her letter each
week, but Kitty sobbed in sue7>a way
that grandma was really troubled.
Suddenly grandma said brightly,
s'kiiiy, sit up and listen TO n story
we have just moment before the
carriage comes.
"When Henry first began to wear
trousers" went on grandma, "he was
exceedingly proud of his pockets, and
the things that went into them were
something astonishing, and BY bed
time each night they were a sight to
behold.
"Wcll, one day he came into the
room with such funny look ON his
face knew lie had been in mischief.
Henry said ], where have you been?
and what have you in your pockets?'
for | saw him glance toward one of
his dear pockets.
Gle stood first on one foot, then on
the other; tucked his chin down into
his neck and glanced up at me from
under his eyelashcs, keeping his hands
behind his back all the time, but he
did not answer, and SO | went up to
him. and opening his pocket had
learned not TO put my hands into
them-peepcd in, and what do you
suppose found? A pockctful of tar!
soft, black tar, quite melted and run
ming down ON his stockings.
".Well, Henry said, you have
destroyed your pocket now, and will
have TO ge' along without it, and
cut the pocket out, which was the on
~ thing to do"
As KITTY thought of grandma hold
ing up the pockctful of tar, aud little
papa with his tar covered hands, she
burst into laugh, and the next mo-
mcnt goodby kiss was pressed OH
her lips, and then dear grandma was
gone. - Our Little Men and Women.

The History OF These Familiar orna-
ments Briefly Narrated.

ments Briefly Narrated.
Earrings have been worn from
time immemorial. While cxcavating
the ruins of ancient Thebcs archHol-
Ogists brought to light sculptured re.
mains bearing representations OF
these articles Ancient writers
make frequent mention OF these deco
rations, and state that in early days
they We're worn by both sexes.
From the very earliest times the
male Asiatics 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 suspended in the ears Of the
Babylonians.
Among the ancient oriental ma
tions, with the exception Of the He
brews, men and women wore them,
the latter considering that they
should be reserved for the sole use OF
the gentler sex. Homer makes men.
tion of this method of a1ornment in
his description of statues represent
ing several of the NEUROLOGICAL
deities, and the great Juvenal is au-
thorityt for the males residing In the
Luphrates provinces.
Ladies and waiting-nalds, 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 gorgeous description,
the settings being worth thousands Of
dollars.
One OF the most fashionable pat.
terms affected by those of rank and
wealth were modelled in the form OF
an asp with golden body shaded
with gems of the first water. Ear.
rings that bore the miniatures of the
dear friends or relatives of the wear.
ers were quite fashionable at a very
early day, and in many cases they
were attached In the form of pen
dants.
In ancient Egypt and India those
made in imitation of the lotus and
Bengal rose were sought after in
preference to all other designs.
Among civilized nations the wear
ing of earrings by men has been by
no means uncommon, as 1t has been
shown that in early English days
some Of the most distinguished cour-
tiers bedeckcd their ears with very
costly specimens. The immortal
Shakespeare is said TO have worn
them, and Charles |. is reputed to
have been the owner of magnificent
pair of pearl earrings, which he be-
queathcd to his daughter the day be-
fore he was executed.
In the South Sea Islands the fe.
males and males alike adopt this
style of personal adornmcnt, and even
in the wilds of Africa they are worn
by the untutored savagos of both
sexes. At the present day the only
civilized persons of the male sex who
ornament their ears in this manner
are the gypsies, the Italians, the
French, a few sailors of other foreign
nations, and occasionally German,
but, as a matter of course, precious
few females the world over will be
found without them. Detroit Free

Ono day, as Tommy was going past
lhe storeroOm door, he saw that IL
was open. lie peeped in and found
there was no one there. Then he
went inside, and begun TO look at the
things on the shelves and the table.
Pretty soon he saw large ceke,
beautifully ornamentcd, on the top.
1t looked so good he wished he had q
big piece of it. but he knew lie should
have to wait for that. Then he
thought he might just taste of the
Icing, and he broke off the tiniest bit
and put it in his mouth; then he took
another bit, aud another. "Nobody'll
notice it," he said to himself; an

But that time good sized piece
came off in his fingers. "Oh, dear, |

Then she turned tho cake around and
told him TO look at ii now.
lie did look, and what do you think
he saw? Right in among the decora-
tions and reaching all across the cake
were the letters OMMY.
"Do you know anybody by that
name" his mamma asked him.
"Why, it's part of my name," said
lie. "Oh, mamma is it mine?"
"No; your name is Tommy, and
there isn't any I there. 1t can't be-
long TO you"
"Was it meant for me?" asked
Tommy, feeling very much ashamed.

Tommy began to cry, and his man.

And it cured him; for after that

There is bear ska on exhibition in
IIudson's gun store that takes the cake.
1t is . l-9 feet in length and 8 l-2 feet
across in tho widest place. The bear
that wore Tins skin was a grizzly, and
he lived in far-off Alaska. Judging
from The sizs of the skin he must
have been as large as two ordinary
cows. and could not have weighed
less than 2500 pounds. 1t is by far
the larg st bear skin that has ever

Who Inventea Th.mhles.

The Dutch have already claimed
the credit of having invented Thin
blcs, and by tacit consent their claim
was allowed up to a few years ago,
but, unfortunately for the reputation
of the Holland tailors, about the
middle Of this century, the antiquari-
ans delving in the ruins Of Hercu.
laneum, uncovered a jewelers. shop
and found halfa dozen gold and silver
thimbles Of the most approved mod
ern pattern.
Since then several thimbles have
been discovered in the Egyptian cat
acombs, in mummy cases antedating
the. Christian era fifteen to eighteen
centuries.
So how old is the thimblc, or by
whom it was invented, are questions
that cannot be answered.
The name is believed to be a per-
version of thumbbell, as the thimble
was formerly worn on the thumb.
The manufacture of thimbles was
first introduced into England from
Holland in 1895 by metal worker
named John Softing. Globe Demo.
