MUFFs WORN FOR AGES.
Evolution Of Dress Article Through
Centuries Shows Its Oriuin.


In many of the portraits of the SIX
teenth century one often sees a strip
of rich soft fur wound around the
wrist of a noble dame. This was used
to cover the neck or fulfill the func-
ton of a muff, and to it was often at
tached small animals head or a
skull. cunningly wrought in metal
and adorned with precious stones.
AS was the case with so many arti.
cles of dress, the muff was first the
exclusive property of the nobility. and
was carried by the commonest women
Of Venice. as well as by the women of
the highest rank.
The first Venetian muffs were small
made of single piece of velvet, bro
cade or silk, lined with fur, the open
ing enriched with gold or silver but
tons set with precious stones. BY
1862 the muff seems to have beer
recognized as the necessary adjunct
of the wardrobe of a woman Of fash
ion.

ouay's Views as to Farmers.

The late Senator Quay, among HIS
other varied pursuits, was somewhat
IF an agricultural. One day TIE q
was discussion between several OF
mis- colleagues regarding the deilri-
ton of a gentleman farmer. Some
contended that farmer was a farmer.
and the matter of his wealth could
make no difference in the name. Pres.
entity one Of .he speaker appealed to
Quay and asked him ii he would de.
fine the difference between an ordi.
nary farmer and a gentleman farmer.
The senator thought for minute
and said: There's this difference
between the two: Ore eats what he
cannot sell, and the other sells what
he cannot eat."-Harper Weekly.

WHY CALLED BUCKET SHOPS"
Small Trading Places Were Thus Re-
ferred to In Derision.


Bucket shops" were called bucket
shops" because when they were first
started in Chicago the only article
dealt in by the small spectators to
any extent was wheat. The leelti-
mate brokers would not handle al OF
der for not less than 5000 bushels,
and lot of places sprung up where
men could speculate on as small cfDi'
tai as 81 and this class of spectators
were spoken OF contemporary as
buying and selling wheat by the buck
etful Hence shops where samll
business was conducted in grain on a
margin became known as bucket
shops" and the term was eventually
applied to all brokerage in stock ana
grain where the amounts dealt In
were smaller than legitimate dealers
or brokers would handle, and more
particularly TO places where there
were really no legitimate transactions
but the proprietor and his customers
simply bet ON the market, the proprie
tor allowing the customer to take
either end of the bed in consideration
OF commission, which was IN reality
his percentage in the game.

Talents and Confidence.

A single-talent man, supported by
great self-conhdence, will achieve
more than ten-talent man who does
not believe In himself. The mind can.
not act with vigor in the presence of
doubt A wavering mind makes a
wavering execution. There must be
certainty, confidence and assurance, or
there can be no efficiency. An unedu-
Gated mar who believes In himself,
and who has faith that he can do the
thing he undertakes, often puts to
shame the average college-bred man
whose overculture and wider outlook
have sometimes bred increased sensi
tiyeness and lessening of self-confi
dence, whose decision has been weak
ened by constant weighing of conflict
ing theories and whose prejudices are
always open &c conviction.-Success

Lilac an Eastern Tree.

Like the tulip. the lilac Is believed
Ia have. come westward from Persia
via Turkey, In the sixteenth century.
Its name is Persian. In the English
language the color Is called after the

It's name from Its color, since II Is
clearly traceable to certain Persian
and Sanskrit adIectives meaning
"blur" or "indigo-colored." The "lilaj"
OF Persia was the indigo plant. Prob
