Origin of Earrings.

According to the Moslem creed the
reason why every Mohammedan lady
considers it her duty TO wear earrings
is attributed TO the following curious
legend: Sarah, tradition tells us, was
SO jealous of the preference shown by
Abraham for Hagar that she took a
solemn vow that she would give her
self no rest until she had mutllated the
fair face of her hated rival and bond.
maid. Abraham. who had knowledge
of his wife's intention, did his utmost
to pacify his imbittered spouse, but
long in vain. At length, however, she
relented and decided TO forego her plan
of revenge. But how was she TO full
fill the terms of the vow she had en-
tered into? After mature reflection
she saw her way out OF the difficulty.
Instead of disfguring the lovely fea-
lures OF her bondmaid she contented
herself with boring a hole in each OF
the rosy lobes of her ears.
The legend does not inform us wheth-
er Abraham afterward felt II incum-
bent upon him to mitigate the smart OF
these little wounds by the gift OF
costly pair of earrings or whether Ha-
gar procured the trlnkets for herself.
The fact remains. however, that the
Turkish women, all of whom wear
earrings from their seventh year, de-
rive the use of these jewels from Ha-
gar. who is held in veneration as the
mother of Ishmael, the founder of their
race.

Blends In History.

1t is certain that blond. long headed
men once played great role in history,
for it was they who colonized Galatia
and brought home the treasures OF
Greece and Italy to Toulouse. who
overthrow the Roman empire in the
west and won England from the Brit
ons. 1t is equally certain that this phys
ical type was once much more domi-
nant and widely distributed than II Is
now and that it is tending to die out.
This is especially true of that pro-
nounced form of blends which is dis
tinguished by red hair. Red haired
persons do not now constitute the ma
jority in any known tribe or nation,
but one authority sets forth grounds
for thinking that red hair was once
much more prevalent.
1t must have occurred, for instance,
among the Brahmans, since they were
forbidden by the laws of Manu- to
marry red haired women. There is no
doubt that blends and red haired per-
sons are still encountered about the
Hindoo Kush, among the tribes from
whom the Brahmans are supposed to
have been immigrants. But obedience
to the law mentioned would, In the
course of time. annihilate the tendency
to their reproduction.
