The Invention Of Arhnor.

The idea of the invention of armor
for the protection of the body from
weapons came from the ancients, who,
noticing the natural armor of various
kinds of animals, particularly the ar
madillo, initiated 1t. In early times
before metal was used in armor max
ing the warriors used rough hides Of
several thicknesses, and the first armor
ever worn was made from slices taken
from the hoofs of horses and fastened
together with pegs. Fish scales and
the scales of large snakes were also
gathered and fastened together until
they formed thick layer and were
used as armor. The armor of the mid
die ages was a continuation of the
ancient kind, made in the form Of
scales of iron or steel. Certain kinds
of mail used In early times in England
were copied from the shells of crabs
and lObsters.-Minneapolis Journal.

MARIE TEMPEST LONDON FAvORITE.
Miss Tempest performed the unusual
feat of carrying to marked success In
London a play, THE Truth" that was
an unqualified failure everywhere in
America
bury avenue from a state of absolute
impassability during the rush hour
when the plays are letting out.
In their interior arrangements and
service even the newest of the London
theaters have disadvantages that
American audiences would not tolerate.
The cost of admission at the first class
houses is more than in New York, but
the conveniences, without reference to
the play ITSELF are far from common
surate with the increased expense. The
scale of prices in the west end theaters
for each person, reduced to American
currency, is about as follows: Stalls or
orchestra seats, $2.52; front seats In
the circle, $1.80; back rows Of the cir
Gle, $1.44; upper circle, SO cents; pit, 90
cents; gallery, "a cents. Thus the best
seats cost more than in corresponding
New York theaters, while the rate for
, the cheapest seats is little less.
The audience enters the top gallery
on a level with or one flight above the
street. To get to the stalls, the circle
or the pit several flights of stairs must
be descended. Owing to the rail which
divides the pit from the orchestra seats
only two or three theaters are provided
with aisles running lengthwise of the
auditorium, so ingress or egress must
be had through one door on each side
and by climbing over other people who
happen to have reached their places
frst. The result is that most of the
theaters are filed with constant drafts,
as the doors are located exactly oppo-
site each other.
Men ushers are not yet known to
London. The duty Of seating the audi
ences still falls to young women, sur
vivals Of the orange women Of the sew
enteenth and eighteenth centuries.
These take the reserved seat coupons
and point out the location of the chairs
as best they can from the aisles. They
are not averse to taking a tip, and they
always exact a sixpence az cents) for
each programme. The number Of these
combination ushers and programme
girls Is ridiculously inadequate. No
stated number is employed at any the
alter, but instead the force Is increased
or cut down in accordance with the
volume OF the patronage. There are no
head ushers.

A GHOST STORY.
Tho Crowd Of Phantoms That pazad
Three Young Women.

An experience wherein phantoms
presented themselves to view in pro-
digious numbers simultaneously is re-
lated by a young lady whose name, at
her request, is withheld, the narrative
being Endorsed by her sister, who was
with her at the time. She writes:
Zone autumn night my sister and
myself, with our maid, were returning
from evening service in the village
church. There was a thick fog. The
moon was full, but it made a sort of
steam in the fog instead of shining
brightly Suddenly l saw man at
my sisters side. who had come there
without making sound. pulled her
sleeve, whispering, Let the man pass
AS / spoke the man disappeared.
"In another moment we were all be-
wildered at the sight around us. 1t
was as If we were in crowded street,
innumerable figures surrounding US.
Men, women and children were NOV
ing briskly about, some singly, others
in groups, but all without sound.
Some seemed to rise out of the grass
on either side of us and to come out on
the other side. The women were
dressed In bygone fashion, with high
bonnets and shawls and large fiounces
on their dresses.
There was one very tall man who
took great strides, though perfectly
motionless. We approached our own
gate, where we should turn in, and
then we had long driveway to walk
up before we could reach the house. l
think that by the time we had reached
the gate all the figures had disappear
ed except this one tall man. He had
quite a different look from any OF the
others-more horrible altogether. AS
we entered our gate, to our intense re-
lief, he passed by along the road and
vanished. OF course we were all very
frightened. The maid and my sister
were crying aloud"
In q case like this, where the same
spectral phenomena are witnessed by
several persons, the value of the tesd-
mony obviously is multiplied hun
dredfold, for, while one individual may
be a victim of hallucination, such an
Illusion can hardly be shared by many.
| What, then, is to be said in answer to
such evidence, furnished by deponents
of unimpeachable character and repu-
tation for truthfulness? To suppose
that they are combining in the manu-
facture of lie is scarcely reasonable.

HIGHER STANDARDS OF LIVING

The average American of our day
Lives better than his parents lived. He
enjoys more Injuries, can spend far
more money, is better educated, eats
better food. reads better current lit
erature and more of 1t. wears better
clothes, and in almost eery other re-
spect has ADVANTAGES beyond the adj
vantages Of his forefathers.
In wealth, the average American Of
today possesses nearly four-fifths as
much as did the average American OF
1880. He carries in his pocket, or at
any rate keeps in circulation, about
70 per cent more money In the banks
he has more than three times as much
moey.
1t Is not a wonderful thing, there
fore, that the life of the citizen Of to-
day should be much more civilized. IL
one may use the term. than the life
of the citizen Of yesterday. For.
strange as as 1t may seem to the mind
OF the man who sees but the darker
cessities Of life cost little il any more
today than they cost 81 years ago. The
statistics that cover the cost of all
food, clothing food. clothing, metals
and other factors that enter into the
daily living expense, show that the
average cost of the first year was rep
resented by the figure 1O7064, while
in 1880 1t was 10s.655. 1t is true that
in 1897 It dropped to 72.45, but that
was in period of disaster.
Consequently the average citizen
has money to spend for luxuries. He
spends 1t WELL Perhaps the history
of higher education in the country
during the period is good an index as
any. In 1880, there were in all the COL
Ieges, technical schools. and other in
situations of higher by $4,000 stu
dents In 1906. the total had grown
to 10000, of whom about $1,000 were
women. In the same period, the at
tendance of children at the public
schools had doubled. The country has
taken a long step toward their ideal of
universal education.
And in the home, comfort has grown
The deals of home life, at least IN the
matter of creature comforts, has stead
lily grown higher. 1t is difficult to find
a perfectly satisfactory test for this
statement, which rests rather upon the
facts that one may gain from obser-
walton than upon scientific data. The
average American of today used about
rs pounds of sugar a year as against
about AZ in 1880. Turning to more
practical tests. one finds that the rag
carpet has been crowded out by the
machine made rug: that modern
plumbing, or at least plumbing of some

sort, Is becoming common, even In the
rural communities; that the demand
for household help has far outstripped
the supply, even at prices two and
three times the prices of 1880.
Today the working man lives in
what would have been called luxury a
quarter of a century ago. In New
York, in the last year or so, he has
been the mainstay of a huge specula-
ton in city lots at outlying points. In
many cases he builds his own little
home. In other cases he Is a partner
in cooperative building group, that
makes for it's people comfortable
homes at less cost than they could
build their several houses. He has
learned to cooperate in the saving of
money. Pennsylvania, with it's big
classes of skilled labor, is the heart of
the center of the cooperative building
and loan business of the United States.
The laboring man Is working out his
freedom from the tenement and the
slum.
OF course there is misery, as there
always must be. The point of the sit
uation is that the average man, who
Is compounded of the high, the middle
and the low, today has money to spend.
In an age when it is the fashion to
abuse the trusts, and to accuse them
of robbing the people Of their suste-
nance, this fact alone is of vital inter-
est. Perhaps it is even more interest
ing to note that coal, sugar, steel and
railroad transportation today cost
the average man considerably less
money than they cost him rs years
ago. That Is one of the principal rea-
sons why he has more money to spend
on education, art and creature COM

overcome by the warmth with which
her victory was greeted, and she vas
only able to say:
II have won twice and am going to
try to win third time"
In 1905 she went to England to try
for the championship and brought
back a record of victories that has
seldom been equaled. She went
through the tournament without losing
a set. and only once or twice during
all her matches was there even doubt
about her ability to win from her o.
ponent. She won the challenge round
from Miss Douglass, the holder, in|
straight sets, 6-3, Ga a score which,
abbut represented the ability of the
contending players. The year before
she had won the American champion,
ship, but in 1905 and 1906 her absence
abroad kept her from trying for the
American title.
Last year Miss Douglass, who had
in the meantime become Mrs Cham
bers, got her revenge. She defeated
Miss Sutton not only in the all Eng
land tournament, but also in the ladies'
singles for the north of England cham,
pionship, which preceded the big
match. The defeat in the north OIL
