In rrInca.

Girls who are fond of earrings may
perhaps be interested in hearing a
few facts about them. Sad it is for the
emancipated woman of the present
day to learn that these fashionable or
naments were originally a mark of
slavery. In bygone days the slave al
ways wore his masters earrings. In
the east they were a sign of caste and
were buried with the dead. Some an
Gent earrings were very elaborate, and
many statues had their ears bored in
readiness for yotive offerings of ear
rings. In England the earliest earrings
were very cumbrous and made of
stone or wood. The eighteenth century
saw the glorifcation of the earring,
fashionable beauties outlying each 9th
er with the rarest and most beautiful
jewels Graphic.

Mn, Sinrica

IT Il constantly said that fishermen
greatly eXnggerate the size of the fish
that are lost This accusation, though
most frequently and hippantly made
Is In point Of fact based upon the most
absurd arrogance and Il love of Sian
derous assertion that passes under
standing. These are harsh words, but
they are abundantly justified.
In the first place. all the presump
ti0ns are with the ishermans conten-
ton. It is perfectly plain that largo
fish are more apt to escape than small
ones. OF course their weight and ae-
tiyity, combined with the increased
thickness and rcsourcefnlness of age
and experience. greatly increase their
ability TO tear out the hook ana tn
hance the danger that their antics will
expose n fatal weakness In hook,
leather. line or rod. Another presump-
ton which must be regretfully men
toned arises from the fact that in
many cases the encounter with a large
fish causes such excitement and such
distraction or peryersion of judgment
or the part of the fisherman rs leads
him to do tho wrong thing or fail 70
