VINO Inr.nt.d Thlmbls..

The Dutch have already claimed the
credit of having invented thi mbles, and
by tacit consent their claim was allowed
up to few years ago; but unfortunately
for the reputation Of the Holland tailors,
about the middle of this century, the an.
tiquarians delving in the ruins of Her
culaneum, uncovered a jewellers shop,
and found half dozen gold and silver
thimbles of the most approved modern
pattern.
Since then several thimbles have been
discovered in the Egyptian catacombs, in
mummy cases antedatiug the Christian
era fifteen to eighteen centuries.
So how old is the thimble, or by whom
IL was invented, are questions that can
not be answered. The name Is believed to
be perversion Of thumbelI. as the thIm-
bic was formerly worn on the thumb.
The manufacture OF thimbles was in.
troduced into England from Holland in
1895 by a metal worker named John Soft
ing.

Mrs Eleanor Ormerod is the most dis.

Her first object in taking up the science

appointed consulting entomologist to the
