The Love of Fine Linen.

In the German household the love of
linen is a passion. During the French
wars under Napoleon, when from every
town and hamlet the terror stricken
people fed before the approaching
armies, before all else they sought to
save their many chests of homespun
linen, and when peace returned what
had escaped the Argus eyed enemy was
tenfold more precious because of the
horrors witnessed and the dreadful pangs
endured. And even today the German
woman prizes far above rubies her piles

HISTORY OF THE UMBRELLA
Description OF the Ponderous Ma
chine Jonas Hanway Brought into
England

Description OF the POnderOus Ma
chine Jonas Hanway Brought into
England.
From the Stick and Umbrella News.
1t was a cumbersome machine that
good Jonas Hanway, traveller and phi>
lanthropist, brought home with him to
England in1750, and used to protect him
self from rain and sun, despite the jeers
OF the unmannery London mob who
hooted at his effeminacy.
Hanway was the first man to habitus
ally carry an umbrella in England, al
long before his day. The umbrella used
by Hanway was an imposing structure
and would affect as much attention in
our streets now as it did 140 years ago
when the street boys ran after and boot
ed its eccentric owner.
1t was quite different from the trim
and dainty structure of modern times.
Hanway's umbrella was family affair,
much larger, much heavier and much
more awkward than even the umbrellas
of our grandfathers' days, examples of
which are still occasionally seen In collec-
tions of curious. 1t had a spread OF
nearly feet, and was borne aloft by a
stick, or rather a pole, of majestic pro
portions. It's cover was of oil silk, heavy
and apt to stick together when closed.
Its runners were of ponderous brass, its
ribs were whalebone as thick as ones
fingers, it's stretchers were canes; when
closed it made bundle about foot in
diameter, weighing several pounds.
But it kept off the rain, and for thirty
years Hanway carried that um brella and
went dry, well bemocked of the popu
lace, who soaked or hired a coach or a
sedan chair.
The umbrella is, undoubtedly, of high
antiquity, appearing in various forms
upon the sculptured monuments of
Egypt, Assyria, Greece and Rome, and
in hot countries it has been used since
the dawn of history as a sunshade-a use
signified by it's name, derived from the
Latin umbra, shade. In the East the
umbrella has even been a symbol OF pow
er and royalty, and in many countries it
has become part of religious as we'll as
a royal symbolism.
Among the Greeks and Romans the
umbrella was used by ladies, while its
use by men was considered effeminate
In France umbrellas were early in com
mon use among all classes as protec>
ton both from rain and sun; but, al
though known in England from the time
ter end of the eighteenth century that
one could carry an umbrella in London
streets without mourning constant ridi-
cule.
For fifty years there was little improve
ment in the construction of umbrellas,
which remained the coarse, heavy, clum
sy articles they had been at their first
introduction.
They were badly lifted, very loose in
the Joints and extremely cumberous. Up
to 184S the only improvement made had
been the substitution of bingham as a
covering in the place of oiled cotton or
silk, thus doing away with the sticking
of the folds. In that year William Sang
ster obtained patent for the use of
alpaca as covering for umbrellas; and
in 1859 Samuel Fox invented his now
world-famous Paragon rib, which to-
tally changed the character of umbrellas
and gave birth to the trim, strong and
serviceable articles of to-day.
