Tie Origin of the Umbrella.

Our name for the umbrella being
obviously taken from the Italian
ombrello, naturally refers us to Italy
as the source from which we have de-
rived this useful article. If we had
obtained it intermediately from
France we would, doubtless, have
taken with it the name of parapluie,
which IN the present use Of the imple-
ment is q mere expressive and proper
name than that of ombrello, which
signifies a ''little shade" and refers to
the original use as u defence against
the sun, rather than to its present use
as a shelter from the rain
There seems TO be no doubt that
the umbrella was first introduced
into Italy from the East, and from
thence found it's way into Europe It
seems also that the applicability of
the instrument as q defence from rain
was quite an afterthought, and that it
was originally, IS i'll the East, only
used to protect the person from the
rays of the sun.-.Pearson's Weekly.
