The wearing OF AmuIets.

Who wore the first amulet it would be
impossible to say, but the adoption of a
talisman 10 ward off evil is of very
ancient origin.
Phylacteries, the Greek word for anu
lets, were worn by the Israelites, 10
which allusion is made in the Scriptures.
These phylacteries were narrow strips
of parchment on which were written
passages from the Old Testament. a
strip was placed in small leathern box
and bound to the left elbow by narrow
strap. There was smaller phylaetery
for the forehead, the box for which was
about an inch square.
The word amulet is of Arabic origin,
and implies thing suspended. Amulets
Tere of various kinds. The moonstone
found in the desert of Arabia was worn
as a talisnan against cnchantment by
the women. who suspended it around
the neck. 1t was white, transparent
stone, the time for searching for it being

Testimony differs as to the feeling of
the soldier on going into fight, and the
many experiences related by Grand
Army men to their always willing lis
teners show that in their war histories
there was no uniformity of either fear
or daring. The major of New Hamp-
shire regiment said: Il always felt
timid when the shot began 10 reach as,

carried away by excitement. | am not
usually profane man, and | have no
recollection of talking roughly 10 my
troops. yet a good many of them have
assured me that all through a fight
would swear like--well, like a trooper.
Another man, colonel, said: Its
allnonsense to say that man doesn't feel
afraid in the beginning of fight and all
through il. OF course he does. He has
reason. Sherman said of General Sum
ner that he was the only man who grew
bolder as he grew older, but the only

were but ten artists in New York who
were making as much as 5000 year

hear good deal about the craze for
foreign pictures and the neglect of native
painters. but all the same there are not
a few of the natives who are making a
good living, and by the saleof their pict-

Several are reputed TO make $4,000 a
