Tn. w..r,n. Of Amu,.,..

Who wore the first amulet 1t would
be impossible to say. but the adoption
Of a talisman to yard or evil is of
cry ancient origin.
P~hylacteries, the Greek word for am
ulets. were worn by the Israelites. to
which allusion ID made In the Scrip
lures. These phylacteries were mar
row strips of parchment on which
we're written passages from the Old
Testament. A strip was placed in a
small leather box and bound to the
left elbow by a narrow strap. There
was n smaller phylactery for the fore
head, the box for which was about an
incl square.
The word amulet is OF Arabic origin
and implies II thing suspended. ANU
let's were of various kinds. The moon
stone, found in the desert of Arabia,
was worn as a talisman against en-
chantment by he women. who sus-
pended II around the neck. II was a
white, transparent stone. the time for
searching for 1t being midnight.

Poor old Lady B.aoon.n.id.

There is nothing In his life, says Lord
Ronald. that rebounds more to Lord
Beaconsfleld's credit than the manner
I'm which he treated his wife. She
could never have been but a somewhat
commonplace though good hearted wo-
man. As she grew old she became a
wreck OF humanity, but the poor. fad
ed, painted old lady was ever treated
By her husband with a Difference and
regard truly touching. 1t was painful
to see how, in what we are pleased to
call the highest society, poor old Lady
Beacons6eld was made a butt and a
laughing stock. Knowing how sensi.
tive Lord Beaconsteld was to anything
approaching ridicule. l felt how bitter
ly he must have suffered when In a
crowded hall or dra wing Dol his hosts
would what they called draw out old
Lady Beaconsfield' and laugh at her
to her face. showing 10 %reticence, re-
gard or decent feeling for the poor hus-
band, who, lmperturbable us lie eve
appeared, wns probably suffering acute.

his mouth opinions he had never ex-
pressed. He vowed that II the editor

he be brought to the bar far a breach
of privilege.
Next day the reporter of the speech
waited upon O'Connell and gave a most
remarkable explanation. He stated that
during his walk from the house to his
office In Fleet street the rain streamed
into his pockets and obliterated the
notes of his speech.
II accept the explanation" said
O'Connell. good humoredly. but let
me say that it must have been n very
extraordinary shower OF rain. for 1t

the speech I delivered. but washed In

Ever, bee has two kinds of eyes
the two large compound one looking
like h~emispheres on either side, and
the three simple ones which crown the
top of his head. Each compound eye
is composed of $500 facets-that is to
say. an object is reflected $500 times
on its surface. Every one of these
facets is the base of an inverted hex
agonal pyramid, whose apex is fitted TO
the head. Each pyramid may be term
ed nm eye. for each has its own iris and
optic nerve.
How these insects manage this mar
velous number of eyes is not yet
known. They are immovable, but mo-
bilIty is unnecessary because OF the
range of vision afforded by the position
and the number of facets. They have
no lids, but are protected from dust
and injury by rows of hairs growing
along the lines at the functions of the
facets. The simple eyes are supposed
to have beer given the bee to enable
It to see above its head when intent
upon gathering honey from the cups Of
flowers. Probably this may be one
reason, but 1t is likely there are other
uses for them not yet ascertained.-

Holy Coat Of rreve..

The holy coat preserved at Treves. In
Germany. is claimed TO be the seamless
garment worn by Christ and for which
the Roman soldiers cast lots during the
crucifixion. 1t is u tunic about Ave feet
long. cut narrow at the shoulders and
gradually widening toward the knees.
Many miracles are said to have been
performed by this robe.
Its history for the last 700 years ia
clear enough. but darkness shrouds
the story of the relic prior to the
twelfth century. The Catholic church
relies for proof Of its authenticity upon
a tradition that 1t was one o. a chest
full of relics SEN as a gift to the
church at Treves by the Empress Hell
ena. She is said to have found the
coal at Jerusalem while In search Of
the true cross.
A legend says that in the ninth Gen.
fury the holy coat was concealed from
the Normans In a crypt of the cathe-
dral. There 1t remained forgotten until
1906. when 1t was ~rediscovered and
placed In the high altar.

HARDENED TO COLD.

Frequently. when we could not ex-
pose our ears for two minutes without
having them frozen, says n traveller in
Siberia, the natives would go for an
hour at a time with their hoods thrown
back from their heads, and when IL re
quired constant watchfulness to keep
our noses from freezing TREY did not
appear to notice the temperature at all.
One morning In January I stood in
perfect Amusement at their disregard
Of the low temperature. They worked
for at least half an hour with bare
hands packing up the tent and utensils,
handling the packages and lashing
them together with Icy seal thongs
without experiencing the least appar-
ent Inconvenience. while I partly froze

with a flint and steel. the whole opera.

The night before. happening to go out
OF the tent after u men had retired.
I passed their camp. which was near
by. Their fire had burned to a pile Of
embers. barely afording me light
enough to distinguish the sleepers.
They were lying coiled pp on small
deerskins, with their backs to the en-
bers and their fur coats thrown loosely
over their naked bodies.
The coat of one of them had slipped
almost entirely off his body, leaving his
back and shoulders exposed to a tenn
perature Of IS degrees f.. below zero.
and. though his hair was frosted. he
snored as soundly as II in comfortable
quarters.

The first playhouse to be built In Eng.
land was the Theater. 1t was erected
In tie year 1876, and its builder was
James Burbage, father OF the famous
actor Richard Burbage and himself
al actor of some repute. Access to the
Theater seems in old times to have been
over Finsbury lelds. The Curtain,
which. curiousIy. Is named from the re-
gion or Did manor on which the play
house was erected and not from the
familiar drapery of the stage, was sit
uated south of Holywell lane, in Moors
field modern Gloucester street,, and il
first mentioned in the following year,
1877. S~hakcspeare's Romeo and Ju.
liet' was among the many plays first
acted there. The Theater was moved
away to the Bankside, and the old ma.
terials were employed in building the
Globe, Shakespeare's chief theater, in
1893. The Curtain continued to be used
as a playhouse far into the reign Of
King James. No picture Of either Of
these original theaters has been hand
ed down. and owing to their position
without the walls none of the old maps
represents their precise location.-Lip-
p%incott's.

Cadogan Morgan was the first cleo
trician to experiment with electric light
in solid bodies. This was in 1855. He
first inserted two wires into n stick of
wood and caused the spark to pass be-
tween them. This had the effect Of H.
Eliminating the stick n beautiful blood

pie may be lighted In the same manner
Some exper!menters prefer the lemon
for this purpose. it being very suscepti-

for this purpose should be brought

~tssur,inE Names.
Tie practice of tie wife assuming
the husbands name at marriage, &c
sording to DR.. Brewer. originated from
q roman custom and became the COM
mon custom after the Roman occupa-
ton. Thus Julia and Octavia, married
to Pompcy and Cicero, were called by
the Romans Julia of Pompey. Octavia
of Cicero, and in latter times married
women in most European countries
signed their names in the same manner.
but omitted the "of." Against this
view may be mentioned that during the
sixteenth and eve at the beginning OF
the seventeenth century the usage
seems doubtful. since we find Catha-
rine Parr so signing herself after she
had been twice married. and we al
ways hear of Lady Jane Grey mot
Dudley. Arabella Stuart mot Sey-
mour). etc.
Some persons think that the custom
originated from the Scriptural teaching
that husband and wife are one.
This was the rule of law so far back
rs Bracton died 1903. and it was de-
cided In the case of Bon versus Smith.
In the reign of Elizabeth. that a woman
by marriage loses her orrner name and
legally receives the name of her hus-
band. Altogether the custom is involv-
ed in much ~obscurity.

TURN OF THE CYCLE.

mystic and oriental philosophers. They
belle We the world is preparing for a great
event the like Of which has never been
known.
That the huma1 mind is passing
through IL chrysalis state all thinking
people are ready to admit. This is to
be observed in all walks OF life from the
lowest to the highest. Labor. schools,
churches. all sorts Of conditions, institu-
tions and men are affected by the new
thought. A feeling Of discomfort and
dissatisfaction with the old order OF
things seems to be universal.
The twentieth century man is nut

like the fit. They are too tight, too
short. and they bind, and pinch, and
chafe him. He wants a new suit. He
really demands a new suit, an up-to-date
suit, one in which he can move freely,
and naturally. and feel comfortable
What is the meaning OF all this? 1t
simply means that the 80 ul has evolved

It means that the soul is arousing it.
