ionabe. bnt it is set forth in the "Odys
scy' that in his capacity of farmer he
had to deal with certain brandy
bushes, and he must also keep his
hands in kingly condition; hence the
introduction of gloves.
Since that time gloves have had
many and strange significances, from a
seal Of the transfer Of property to a
challenge to single combat. Not until
centuries later did they begin to take
on class significance. 1t was when they
We're adopted by royalty that the wear

King Robert III of Scotland the incor.

But, although gloves were started on
their career through the centuries by
men. it has fallen to the women to bring
them iuto universal popularity.

Fill medium sized bowl nearly full

a room that is not exposed to Earring

the water sprinkle coating Of lycopo-
dunn powder. Then take powdered
charcoal and draw a straight black
line two inches long upon the coating
the line should be north and south.
After this is done lay upon the floor
a stick 81 tiat it will be exactly paral-

line. If the bowl Is left undisturbed
for several hours. it will lie seen that

To Extract 81 SPLINTER.

The easiest way to extract splinter
deep in the flesh of the hand or foot is
by means of steam. a rather wide
mouthed bottle is filed two-thirds full
Of boiling water, and the injured spot
Is held close over the opening. The
suction draws the flesh down, and a
little additional pressure is used to as
sist the exit Of the intruder. In a
few moments the steam extracts the
splinter, and the Inflammation rapidly
