Glen's Falls, II. Y, always regarded
himself a living oddity. He was the
thirteenth child and the seventh son OF

survives her husband, occupies the same
relative position in her fathers family,
being the thirteenth and youngest child
and the seventh daughter of her par
ents. When Mr.. Witheren died they
had been married sixty-fve years, five

The Rise of the Umbrella.

The oft told tale of the introduction of
the umbrella into England is one of the
least features of its interesting story. Mr..
Jonas Hanway, the distinguished philan-
thropist and founder of hospitals, was the
chosen instrument of fortune. In his early
days he was great traveller, and visited
not only the principal sights of Europe
but pushed his way far into Asia, voyaging
through India and Persia to the confines of
Chinese Tartary. 1t was of course there
fore impossible that he should have escaped
being impressed by the Importance at
tached to the umbrella in the far orient
and doubtless enjoyed the comfort of one
in the lands where it was common
1t was about the year 1850 that he made
his memorable sally into Cheapside with
the outlandish contrivance which brought
upon him the derision of the populace,
and upon that eventful occasion it proved
quite as useful in warding off defunct
felines overripe eggs and assorted vegeta-
bles in diverting the shower which it was
opened against. Had Hanway been other
than a man of character the Christian
world might have waited another half
century for the priceless boon bestowed
