A STUDY IN HANOksRcHIeFs.
Their Use Began In Venice Only n Litt More Than Three Hundred Years Ago

Their Use Began In Venice Only n Little
 More Than Three Hundred Years Ago.
 An interesting historical study on the pocket handkerchief has appeared in n Ger man magazine. IL appears that mankind Is indebted to Italy for the introduction of that modest but indispensable accessory to civilization. According to the writer, the use of tho pocket handkerchief was unknown in society until the first half of the sixteenth century.
 About the year l54O an unknown Eene- tian lady first conceived the happy idea of carrying "fazzolctto," and it was not long bef9ro her example was widely fol- lowed throughout Italy. The handkerchief then crossed the Alps into France, where its use was immediately adopted by the lords and ladies of Henry Ills court
 The handkerchief of that period was an article of the greatest luxury. It was made of tho most costly fabrics and was ornamentcd with the rarcst cmbroidcrics. In the reign of Henry III it began to be perfumcd and received the name of ''mou- choir de Venus" It was not until 1880 that tho handkerchief made its way into Germany, and then its use was long con fined to princes and persons of great wealth. It was made tho object of sump- tuary laws, and an cdict published at Dresden in 1895 forbade its use by tho people at large.
 Slowly, but surely, however the vulgar ization of the pocket handkerchief has been accomplished, and today even tho humhlcst is superior in one important re spcct to PCtrarCh and Laura, Dante and Beatrice, who, it is somewhat painful to think, lived in n prchandkcrchicf age- Westminster Budget.

JUDGE ROOTS HOUR.

The LazIest Man tn Waterbury Given sixty Days For Non-supPort William II. Ward was n pitiful object this mo'ning in the prisoners box. He | stood up when his name was called a vel dressed young man. and said he had been twenty-nine years in Waterbury and was never before arrested. when he was given s fine he sat down and those who were watching him saw him gradually lie down on the seat of the box When cour; was over he had to he lifted bodily and carried into the police station. The drunk of the night before had begun to react and he was apparently ID the first stages of delirium tremens. He was placed in the corridor with his overcoat for d pillow while the other prisoners watched over him.
 Richard Fierce was charged with non support. His wife and son said he was a mason and could secure employment, but was too lazy to work. He had no. worked in twelve months. Pierce k probably the laziest man in Waterbury. He buns from saloon to saloon. He was so tired" this morning that he could not leave the box to defend himself. Judge Root gave him sixty days in jail.

held at different times this year, and the sport of knocking n quinine pill around q 10 aero lot, as some humorist describes the game, is now the rage from Maine to Texas.
 Tho father of golf in Chicago Is Charles B. Macdonald, organizer and captain of tho Chicago Golf club, which is n year and half old and has n membership of over loo. Macdonald learned the game at St. Andrews, Scotland, tho acknowl- edged fountain head of the sport and he Is without doubt the best player in the west He was second in both the ama- tcur championship tournaments held in Newport and Gonkcrs and easily demon stratcd that he was one of tho very best golf players in the country.
 The Newport tournament was for tho championship of America, and tho Yon- kers event was alleged to decide the cham pionship of the United States. Next year this confusion will bc dono away with. and one ''rcaly, truly and only'' cham pionship will be decided.
 Macdonald attributes his defeat by Lawrence in Newport to tho fact that he was unfamiliar with tho battle-ground Lawrence, on the other hand, is n member of the Newport club and know every hazard on the links. The samo reason, Macdonald declares. explains his defeat by Stoddart of tho Yonkers club in the Yonkers championship. That this is no empty excuse Is shown by tho fact that Macdonald defeated Stoddart when that worthy found himself on unfamiliar ground at Newport, and thnt Lawrence also met defeat at MacDonald's hands when they met on tho Yonkers links.

From Laysan Island,
HAWAII.

The Robert Levers arrived in
port this morning with cargo
of guano from Laysan Island.
She made the round trip in thir-
ty days. 1t took her 5 days to
go down to the island, and 141
on her homeward trip. She re-
manned at the island about Ii
days. Everything was alright in
Governor Freeth's domain and
the prospects of the company
which own the island is highly
roseate. Willie Freeth and
Archie Robertson returned in
the vessel and look as healthy as
their mammas could desire. They
will at present go to school but
both intend to return to the is
land where they found the ever
lasting fun
A week before the Robert
Levers arrived one of the Jap
anese laborers stole the steam
launch belonging to the company
and set out for unknown parts.
He will probably join the Mika-
dos fleet and make it hot for the
celestials. When the theft was
known to Captain Freeth it is
stated that the air around the
island was blue and that a
salvation army is much need
ed near the court of the governor.
