The French Government is now
bringing to the front a question in
which every British householder has
an interest. 1t is that of the use Of
white lead and of other compounds of
lead in house painting. A Parliamen-
tary commission is investigating the
question, and NJ. Breton, an expert
delegated to report upon the whole
question, has just presented the re-
suit of his studies in a volume which
entirely and emphatically condemns
the use of white lead in the mixing
of colors. All pigments compounded
with lead carbonates are highly pois-
onous to the workmen and to the oc-
cupants of houses. NJ. Breton urges
white zinc as better in every way,
especially in work exposed to sea air.
He declares that the absolute sup
preston of white lead has become an
imperious necessity. 1t was i'll 1IS0

Handwriting on Iron,

1t was an accident that led to the
discovery of the method of transfer
ring handwriting to iron. An iron
founder while experimenting with mol
ten iron under different conditions nc
cidentally dropped Il ticket into mold.
He presently found that the type of
the ticket was transferred to the iron
in distinct characters. Following up
the idea which this fact suggested, he
procured heatproof ink, with which
he wrote invertedly on ordinary white
paper This paper was introduced into
the mold before the molten iron was
poured in. When the mold cooled the
paper had been consumed by the heat,
but the ink. which had remained in
tact, had left clear impression on the
iron.

uNGLOVED WOMEN.
Hands Uncovered Because Of Rings
with Lsrue Stones.

WlN'l SNSUSSs
One fashion frequently influences
another. Jewelry is at this moment
exercising an authocratic sway over
gloN Nes. Women wear rings with enor-
nous stones, over which the ordinary
welI-fitting glove is an exceedingly
irksome article of attire.
-Four courses are open to her. Either
she must submit to gloves a size or
two larger than those TO which she is
accustomed or she must discard
gloves altogether or she must wear
her jewelry outside her gloves as the
dandies of the Stua;t period did or
she must slash her gloves to reveal
the glistening gems Llneiih--a'' or
the manner of the gal!al,S ot si.ll
earlier age, as proved by ancient pc.
lures.
There are objections to all these
methods, but the least annoying is to
leave OFF gloves. This is what many
women are now doirS. Ste2lthily but
surely they are feeling their way TO-
ward the attitude men have SO long
assumed-that g.Oves are only worth
regarding from a utilitarian stand
point, rs covering to confer warmth
upon the hands or to keep them clean.
There is one sole occasion upon which
a man puts on gloves in Difference to
the demands of etiquette, and that is
when he dances. Neither have wo.
men yet dared to leave them off for
these affairs, nor for state appear
anceS, at the opera, and at parties in
great houses.
Observant of the trend OF fashion
and of the Independent attitude Of
their good customers, the gloverS have
added mittens to their stock. But

MEMS HATS IN KOREA.
The Reason They Arc Wide Trimmed,
Hlgh md ErngIlc.

High ana Fragile.
Ina lecture on Korea, Burton Holmes,
speaking of the mems hats. said:
Though Korea and especially Seoul
has many foreigners and the people
have become accustomed TO strangers,
they adhere closely to their curious
costumes. the hat being the most i'm
pressive part of the garb. The Korean
gentleman never removes his hat in the
presence of company, either in the
house or outside. The hat must be
worn constantly during waking hours.
THE hat consists of u wide brlm and
crown high enough TO contain the
toplinot, The hats are made of many
materials AMI vary in price from 81 to
$40. Their form dates back to a time,
centuries ago, when n king who was
fearful of plots and conSpiracies de-
against his noble enemies. If men
could not get their heads together, he
argued, they could not engage in Il
conspiracy, so lie issued an cdlct COM
pclling his courtiers to wear hats with
gigantic brlms. Then In order to pre-
vent fighting on the street he ordered
that these hats be made of thin
porcelain. In case of n fight the hat
would certainly be broken. This would
necessitate explanations from the no
bleman, and street rows We're thereby
ended
Though the hats are no longer made
of porcelain, they are sufficiently frng-
lie TO be broken if the wearers engage
In any violent demonstrations"

An English lady travelling with her
husband in Somaliland writes: I'VE
were hOnorCd by a visit from the wife,
infant and mother Of tie chief of Il
neighboring zareba They had never
seen any European women before and
came to see what Il mem-Sahib was
like. They examined everything, from
my hairbrushes to my boots, and were
especially charmed with my big pith
sun hat With some hesitation they
asked if | would mind letting down
my hair. Ones coilfure in camp Is
very simple, and the removal of few
hairpins gratilied their curiosity. Then
they pressed Cam, my maid, who has
short curly hair. to do the same. We
had to give up all explanation at the
difference, and finally they accepted
the ayah's theory that long and short
hair was the English distinction be-
tween married women and maids and
that when Cam married she would
grow her hair long. The Somali wom-
an has her hair-or. rather, curly wool
dressed only twice in her life, once
when it is plated in myrlads of tiny
plaits no thicker than twine, and once
again when she marrles, when it is
inclosed in blue bag"

Napkin rings. haircomDs, walAing-
stick knobs, brush backs and handles,
cigarette cases and holders, and a
variety of other small objects are
now being made of milk. 1t appears
that much of the cheap imitation
ivory now in the trade comes from
the COW. There are even alleged
pearls worn in earrings. or in other
kinds of so.called fancy jewelry,
which are literally drops of con-
densed milk. \ nobleman owning inn
mense estates and large farms in the
Loiret Department has set up fac
tory for carrying on this new indus
try. His cows produce some 200 gal
Ions of milk day, two-thirds of which
is sent to Paris in the season. But
In the summer the demand falls off,
while the cows continue to yield the
usual quantity. Hence, the ingenious
nobleman's new departure. The case
inc obtained from the milk is con-
verted, under great pressure, into a
ductile substance called "lactite." the
possible uses of which seem 10 be un-
limited. 1t is this sub-product of milk
which is replacing celluloid in the
market as imitation ivory Moreover,
lactlte can be employed it appears,
in coloring processes for textiles, and
for the treatment of wines, notably
for the operation called collage"
Cabinetmakers also use it for veneer
ing furniture, and potters manufact-
ure with it imitation earthenware.
Glove makers have just successfully

ing the glace surface on kid. Tire
manufacturers have hopes of employ
ing it instead of gutta-percha An

The Hippopotamus.

When first the Sudan was opened up
it was thought desirable to impose a
tax on any one killing Il ''hlppo," but
experience has shown that the hippo"
is unworthy of the care taken Of him.
He is most destructive. \ bull hippo
potamus will upset small boat. The
natives have curious manner of kill
ing Il hippopotamus, They attack him
with spears when he is in a sleepy con-
dition in the river, and attached to the
spear is a rope with huge float at the
end of it. This float hampers the
movements Of the unwieldy animal,
and after several spears have been
driven into him he is easily drawn to

THE FIRST BANKS.
They Were Established In Italy In
the Ninth Century.


The first banks of which we have rec
ord were established in Italy so far
back as sos by the Lombard Jews,
who had benches. or counters, erected
in the market places for the exchange
of money and bills. 1t is from their
banco, or bench, that banks have taken
their name.
The earliest bankers We're also gold
smiths and dealers in precious stones,
but with the advance of civilization
banking became a distinct business.
Merchants had deposited their cash in
the mint in the Tower of London until
Charles |. laid hands upon the money
in 1910. In 1915 traders agreed to
lodge their money with the goldsmths
of Lombard street, who had strong
chests for their own valuables, and
this was the origin of banking in Brit
ain.
The chief banks in Europe were es-
tablished as follows: Venice, Ill; Ge-
noa, 1915; Hamburg. 1919; Holland,
1885, Bank of England. 1904; Scotland,
1G95; Ireland. 1888; France, 1903; Unit
