These Ornaments Are the Survival Of
Very Ancient Custom.

years have been wearing earrings, the
fashion still survives, and at func-

able to determine. They date from
the remotest antiquity, the earliest
mention of them being in Genesis In
the time of Jacob, about 1872 B. c.

specimens in the Troad by DR.. Schlie-
mann, in Etruria by Castellani and

Amulets consisting OF inscribed
precious stones on pieces of metal

or more frequently from the ears.

Medici are bored, evidently for ear
rings.

superstition that they were q protec-
