To the Jews of today it is fairly well
known that their ancestors In Eurona
were forced to put up with a great

wearing Of badge which would
stamp the wearer as an 'infidel lew -
Inc wearing of badge was made n

IN the year 1915, but 1t must have been
required in isolated places before that

10 the whims OF Municipalities and
monarchs- 1t was generally worn upon
the breast, and at @ time it was or
dered to be worn likewise upon tho
back. so that Jew might be known
fore and aft" When a Jew was
found without the badge, he was fined.
evidence of the wearing of this badge
IS found as late as 1892 in France. The
forefathers OF the Spanish Jews car

on their breasts, the women on their
foreheads. The wearing Of the badge
was not so prevalent In Italy. but the
municipalities almost all required

ELECTRIC CORN Pepper HERE
Very Different from the Old Time
Kind You Held Over a Fire.

The old fashioned wire corn pepper
in which you pop corn over a glowing
fire, is familiar enough, but novelty
Is the electric corn pepper; in which
you pop corn by electricity,
The electric corn pepper consists of
an aluminium basin with faring sides,
to which is fitted d dome shaped COW
er of wire gauze; this cover to keep
the corn from popping out as it pops
and also to enable one to see how the
popping is getting on. To the under
side of the basin is permanently at
tached resistance coil in which heat
is produced when the electric current
is turned on.
In one side of the pepper are two
plug holes. Into these holes you in
sert the two plugs at one end of a
flexible electric wire, the other end
of which you screw into the nearest
and most convenient electric light
socket
AS everybody knows. in popping
corn in a wire pepper you have to
keep the pepper moving as you hold
it over the fire TO keep the corn from
burning; to permit keeping 1t agitated
to the same end, the electric pepper
which is used on stand or table, Is
mounted on wheels.

First to Use Sewing Machine.

Miss Elizabeth NJ. Kilbourn, said to
be the first woman who ever took a
stitch on a sewing machine, is now
living at Winsted. Conn. She was
teaching in Hartford when she called
one day at the workshop of Elias
Howe to see the new invention which
she had heard talked about.
Howe received her cordially, and
after explaining the working of the
machine asked her If she would care
to try how it would work. She was
delighted at the idea. but felt some
timidity on account of her total ig'
norance of machinery. After being
assured by Howe that the mechanism
of his invention was not so delicate
as she imagined, she took her seat and
ran up short seam. When she got
up from the machine he said to her:
You are the first woman in this
world who ever took a stitch on q

Having distinguished himself in an

clergy to an afternoon tea in the
bishops palace, he was taken to task
for his failings by a senior curate
who was one of his companions on the
way home.
