Carnphor For His Wife.

"There was a farmer up home," he
said, "who used to have his occasional
spree. Every one knew his failing, and
neither of the druggists in town would
sell him drop. One day he brought
quart bottle into one Of the apothecary
chops, with two or three big Jumps Of
gum camphor in the bottom. He told
the druggist that his wife wanted her
camphor bottle filled with alcohol. The
druggist filled it without suspecting any
thing. In week the old man came
again, and in little while the third
time. Finally the druggist discovered
that the gum camphor' was milky
quartz, picked up in the fields, and that
the farmer had poured camphor over the
outside Of the bottle until enough had
crystallized there to look natural and
smell right. The quartz didn't hurt the
alcohol for drinking purposes. "-Time

when Umbrella. Were Firat Used.

Umbrellas are of great antiquity.
Among the Greeks they were a mark Of
elevated rank, and one is seen ON a
Hamilton vase in the hands Of q prin-
cess. We find the umbrella figured up
on the ruins of Persepolis, and the Ro.
mans carried it at the theater to keep
off the sun. Yet Coryate, the traveller,
in 1911, notices the umbrellas Of Italy
as rarities These and other umbrellas
are only described for keeping OF the
sun, which may be explained by the
comparative scarcity Of rain in the
above countries. The frequency Of rain
in other lands led to their being used
for veyy different purpose. Jonas
Hanway is described to have been the
first to walk the streets Of London with
an umbrella over his head, which he
had probably used in his travels in the
east. And in 1878 one John Macdon-
aid, footMan, was ridiculed for carry
ing in the streets an umbrella which be
had brought from Spain. However, as
he tells us, he persisted for three
months in carrying his umbrella, till
people took no further notice Of the
novelty-Harper's Round Table.
