It is said that Lord CORVALLIS
when he had been dining with a
friend and was about to enter his car
riage to return home stopped mo-
ment at the door to speak a parting
word to his host. 1t was raining in
torrents, and servant standing by

over his lordship's head when the old
soldier exclaimed wrathfully: Take
that thing away. Do you suppose |

The staff also is twenty-One feet long.
New York and Philadelphia are the
centers Of the umbrella industry in
this country, and more than 100000

principally for umbrella sticks is that

which grows abundantly in South
America and the West Indies. From
the single island Of Jamaica an aver
age of 1000 bundles of sticks are sent
annually to England and the United

Holy War Predicted.

\ direful prophecy of a Moslem
Holy War" greater than any ever
known is made by an officer i'm the
British east African service, says Les
lies Weekly. The agency by which
it will be brought about is the fam
Gus Mohammcdan secret society. the
Senussia. which has long been prepar-
ing for a life-and-death struggle be-
tween the dark-Skinned races of Afri-
ca and the white invaders. Founded
in 1885 by the Sheik Senussi, the sect
of the Senuissia is today a powerful
organization, with branches in almost
every MOhammedan country i'm the
world It's founder was an Algerian
Arab, claiming descent from the
Prophet Mohammed. The doctrines
which he preached were: The free
ing of the Moslem faith from all its
cOrruptions and abuses its restora-
tiOn To its early purity, under Il uni
verSal leader and the deliverance of
all MOSlem countries. but especially
those of Africa. from the yoke of the
infidelS, to which end he inCulcated
undying hostility to every Christian.
These ends can be accomplished only
by the declaration of a "Jehad," or
holy war. such as was predicted by
the prophet himself.

THE UMBRELLA.
1t Is Probably as Ancient as the Race
of Man.

The umbrella is undoubtedly Of high
antiquity, appearing in various forms
on the sculptured monuments Of
Egypt, Assyria. Greece and Rome. and
i'm hot countries it has been used since
the dawn of history as sunshade. a
use Signified from its name. derived
from the Latin umbra. a shade. In the
east the umbrella has even been Il
symbol of power and royalty and in
many countries it has become part of
religious as well as royal symbolism.
The Chinese date the first umbrella
back to 1000 or 5000 years anterior
to the Mosaic date of creation.
Among the Greeks and Romans the
umbrella was used by women, while
it's use by men was considered effem-
mate. Less than 100 years ago large
umbrella was kept hanging in the
halls of good houses in England to
keep visitors dry as they passed to and
from their carriages. At hotels and
restaurants also they were occasionally
used in the same way for the benefit
of invalids or aged people. But no.
body ever thought of carrying an UNI
brella in the street.

of Yorkvile for $1,000 insurance in the
Mutual Benefit. The policy was deliv-

the Mutual Benefit policy the more
pleased he is with it and the company,
and the less pleased with the others.
