Evolution of the Red.

Bedstead originally meant "tbe bed
place" The truckle bed was the first
advance on the bench, and then the
tester suspended from. the roof. Then
came in the Arabian bed-a name per-
haps derived from the crusades. The
four poster came from Austria in the
fifteenth century. The late Queen Vic
toria always carried her bedstead about
with her. and so did the mobiles in the
middle ages. The cOverlid or counter
point. whence comes counterpane, was
often splendidly embroidered. Yet the
beds at this time were often only sacks
of straw. Feather beds came from
France in the fourteenth century, but
straw was in general use long after.

The RridnI Veil.

The origin of the bridal veil is dis
puted question that will probably never
be settled. Some see in it nothing
more than milliner's substitute for
the usual flowing Tesses which half
concealed and half revealed a brides
beauty as she knelt at the altar. This
opinion is countenanced by the fact
that Elizabeth Stuart was not thought
to require an artificial veil, as nature
had given her an atIluence of hair
Others see its origin in the veil of the
Hebrews marriage ceremony or the
yellow 'fammeum" of old Roman
brides.
a third source is the old care cloth"
Of the AnglO-SaXons. Il square vestment
held over both bride and bridegroom
till they received the nuptial benedic-
ton. SO runs the use of the church of
Sarum and the Hereford missal.
Lastly, it has been held to be merely
an amplificatiOn of the Golf which medi-
@val brides wore between the garland
and their hair. Margaret Tudor wore
this under her coronet on her marriage
to the king of Scotland.

OBSOLETE TERMS.
Some Big Words That Have Been
Consigned to Oblivion.

The number of obsolete words that
are to be found in a complete diction-
airy of the English language is consid-
erably larger than the people have any
idea of. The following letter, written
by an alleged poet to an editor who
had treated his poetry with deriSion.
furnishes some idea of them:
"Sir-You have behaved like an i'm
petiginous scrogle - like those who,
envious of any moral celsitude, carry
their unglicity to the height of creating
sympOscally the fecund words which
my polymathic genius uses with uber-
Ity to abligate the tongues of the weet-
less! Sir, you have crassly parodied
my own pet words, though they were
trangrams.
Il will not coascervate reproaches. l
will Oduce a veil over the atramental
ingratitude which has chamfered even
my indiscerptible heart. l am silent
on the focillatiOn which my cOadju-
vancy must have given when l offered
to become your fantor and adminicle.
l will not speak of the lippitude, the
Oblepsy you have shown in eXacerbat-
ing me, one whose genius you should
have approached with mental discal-
ceation. So l tell you. without super
vacaneous words. nothing will render
ignOscible your conduct to me.
Il warn you that | would vellicate
your nose if l thought that any moral
diarthrosis thereby could be performed
if l thought l should not impignorate
my reputation. Co photographic scro
gle, hand with your Grass. inquinate
fantOrs. Draw oblectations from the
thought if YOU can of having synchron
ically lost the eXisJination of the great
est poet since Milton"
And yet all these words are to bC
found in the dictionary Tit Bits.

Suicide Prevented.

The Startling announcement that a
preventive of suicide had been discov-

system, or dependency invariably
precede suicide and something has
been found that will prevent that con-

AN EASY WAY TO MAKE 500.

An experienced auctioneer will tell Won
that public sale properly advertised Will
realize very much more than if few post
ers are depended on to bring it before the
public.
We have had many years experience
in advertising public sales, and think we
know how it should be done. The TINES
has one of the largest rural circulations in
Kent county and an advertisement pub
lished in full has the special advantage of
being read at leisure by the very people
you are trying to interest.
Our plan is systematic, and arranged to
gain the widest publicity at a nominal
cost. 1t includes advertising by posters,
circulars and The TINES. The circulars
can be mailed direct to anyone you are
anxious to see at the sale One extra bid
der at your sale may pay the cost of your
advertising many times over. The way
to get the bidders is by systematic adver-
tising.
If you contemplate having a sale, it will
pay you to see us. Wehave such absolute
confidence in our plan that if you are not
satisfied when the sale is over, you can
set your own price on the work we do.
Free notice given with every order for
Sale Bills. Leave your order early at
the Office

Not a Good Mechanic.

Intelligence is more than books and
letters-it is knowledge of the forces of
nature and ingenuity enough to use
them for human service. The negro
is generally acknowledged to be lack
ing in ''the mechanical idea" In Afri-
ca he hardly knows the simplest me-
chanical principles, such as that of the
lever. In America the brightest Of ne
groes were. trained during slavery by
their masters in the handicrafts. such
as carpentry, shoemaking, spinning,
weaving, blacksmithing. tailoring. and
so on. A plantation became a self sup
porting unit under the oversight and
discipline of the whites, but the work
of the negro artisans was for the most
| part careless and inefficient" Since
emancipation the young generation has
not learned the mechanical trades to
the same extent as the slave genera.

| plants tools and factories supplant

Bishop Asbury ana Richard Bassett Meet.

Richard Bassett, like Judge White,
was a communicant in the Church of
England. The story is told that Bas-
sett had been engaged in the trial of
a case at Denton, Maryland, and was
driving from Denton to his home in
Dover, and stopped at Judge Whites
for supper, Mrs. White was entertain
ing Asbury and some of his compan-
ions, and sought to keep them out of
sight of the distinguished lawyer.
Forced to introduce them, Asbury
made such an impression upon Bas.

Methodist, and so continued during
his life. At Bassett's death in 1916
