This was usually a bit of stone or
wood The culprit he found TO be a

animal made an interesting study for
Mr.. Ingoldsby, and he often lay awake

A silver spoon was missing one morn

Beads, First Used by savages, Are

Beads are certainly the most ancient

forest blossoms.
Nobody knows who first invented
beads. Perhaps it was some primitive
savage who found nuts or oak balls
in the forest, drilled by the wood worm
and threaded them together on stalk
of grass. Anything and everything
with Il hole in it served at the begin
ming for beads-cowre shells. fish
teeth, claws of beasts. striped and
spotted seeds and the like. But the
great age of beads began with the in
yention of glass. and the Egyptians,
CarthaginianS ana PhunicianS gener.

making. Their methods We're much
the same as may be seen today in
Venice or any other chief seat of the
art.

Of beads to learn how immense is their
production and how wide their dis.
