been made into kindling wood, the
wool pack is now in safe keeping, al
though it is considerably the worse for
having rested on the tagged floor of
a cellar for sixty years, and the gilt
is now only observable in parts. The

ing students who are endeavoring to
revive an almost lost art. The lamb
sign for the hosier's business Is very
old, and has reference to ST. Agnes,
who suffered martyrdom in the year
300 when only IA years of age. The
saint has been usually depicted by ar
lists with lamb by her side. In days
when the common people of England
could not read printed signs, the first
man in a town or village to set up
business in yarns and hosiery adopted
the lamb sign. A competitor would
choose the wool pack.
