AndfrOns.

In regard to andirons a writer in the
Connoisseur points out the curious fact
that the older specimens rarely come
In pairs, but are of different heights
and sizes. 1t was the custom In the
middle ages, 1t seems, to make them
uneven so as to facilitate the moving
and raising of the huge blocks employ
ed for f1rewood. He continues:
In the middle ages they were also
planned to hold a spit, and 1t was not
until the late sixteenth century that
they were much ornamented. Accord
ing to Violet lie Due, since the most
remote ages, from Etruscan times
down to the Romans, such andirons
were made of iron Vasari speaks Of
andirons made with "meraviglioso ma
gistero" for the captains of the Arte
della Seta, but have not found much
ornamentation upon them as early as
he says. l have theory Of my own,
which is contrary to that of Violet lie
Due. In England andirons are called
fire dogs, and in the Bargello there is
splendid specimen made In the form
of crouching hounds. / hold that the
andirons were in the first instance
made In the shape Of animals lying at
rest, shaped Of clay or stone, and it
was much later that they were made
Of iron, when they often ended In ami
mails heads, most often In that Of
dogs.

one dinner party spoiled by the multi

When you have the luck to snare lion

a bit with him, and II he could find
anywhere girl resembling her he
would marry her.
This paragraph duly appeared. 1t
was copied all over the country. The
young women Of America, on fire with

Modes of Divination.

If q Scottish maiden desired to sum-
mon the image of her future husband,
she read the third verse, seventeenth
chapter. of the book of Job after sup
per, washed the supper dishes and re-
tired to bed without uttering a single
word, placing underneath her pillow
the Bible, with pin thrust through
the verse she had read. o. lhallow
eve various modes of divin were
In vogue. Pennant says that the young
women determined the figure and size
Of their husbands by drawing cab
bages blindfold, custom which lin
gers still in some parts of Scotland.
They also threw nuts into the fire, a
practice prevailing also in England, as
Gay has described:
Two hazelnuts 1 threw into the flame,
And to each nut | gave a sweetheart's
name.
This with the loudest bounce me sore
amazed
That in a fame of brightest color blazed.
AS blazed the nut, so may thy passion
grow.
Or they took candle and went alone
to looking glass, eating an apple and
combing their hair before it, where
upon the face of the future spouse
would be seen in the glass peeping
over the foolish girls shoulder.

The Ottoman Turks lived originally
In central Asia, where they were mem
bers of race related to the Mongols,
a branch of the Ural-Altai family. Un-
der their first sultan, Gilman, who rul-

realm in Asia Minor, but soon extended
it into Europe. entering Armenia.
With the capture of Constantinople In
1853 they succeeded to the Byzantine
empire. and their rule at Its zenith dur
ing the sixteenth century extended
over the greater part Of southeastern
Europe and much of western Asia and
northern Africa. but they lost Hun

Red uniforms were first adopted by
the Emperor Valerius Maximus in or
der that the Roman soldiers might not
be frightened by the sight of their own
blood. TO this day the children Of
England are told that this is the reason
why French troops wear red trousers,
and French children are taught the
same notion respecting the red coats
Of the British. The DICTIONARIES of an
cient Rome wore the skins of bears on
the field of battle to make them look
fierce. For the same reason they put
figures of frightful beasts on their
shields and helmets. From this odd
custom spring modern crests and ar
mortal bearings. The idea of soaring
the enemy by such devices has been
perpetuated up to quite recent times.
Tall bearskin hats were originally
adopted to make them look taller by
the French cuirassiers. each of whom
carried handful of grenades for scat
tering among the ranks of their foe.

Most of the Spaniards dislike to fell
trees or cut live timber of any sort,
and this fact perhaps accounts for the
giant trees of California. The Span
iards two centuries ago pushed their
way through Mexico to California, and
save the clearing of paths through the
dense forests, not twig did their axes
chop down. Nor do the Spaniards
transplanted to the new world ever
destroy timber They continue to build
their houses Of stone and mortar, at
great expense of money and physical
exertien, when timber In abundance
surrounds them, out of which they
could construct log houses, as did other
pioneers, at q minimum Of cost and
labor. The Spaniard does not even fell
trees for firawood but picks up dead
limbs as they fall to the ground or
pulls them from the trees with his
lariat.-London Express.
