The Handkerchief Came From Italy.

ne f1andkerchIet came rom Italy.
A writer in French review points
out that the handkerchief does not
come to us from China, as has been
generally believed, but from Italy. 1t
is only 300 years ago that the hand
kerchief of Venetian lady was con-
sidered a great curiosity The hand
kerchief crossed the Alps and was re-
ceived with great favor at the court of
France. Handkerchiefs were then
made of cambric or lawn and bordered
with Venetian or Alencon lace. Under
Henry III. of France the sachet was
introduced The handkerchief was
taken into Germany little later and
was known as the "fazelletin," after
its italian name. Only persons of
quality used 1t, and an edict in 1895
was published at Dresden interdicting
the use of the handkerchief among the
trading classes.-London Globe.

Spoiled the SolemnitY.

Joseph II. Choate when ambassador
to the court of st. James and Mark
Twain were together in st. Georges
chapel, London, one hot day, both
seemingly sobered by the solemnity of
the place.
"What an awful thing it is''- Twain
began in a whisper.
Mr.. ChOate leaned closer to catch
some ponderously sad expression from
the humorist.
What an awful thing it is," Twain
repeated, ''to be shut up in a place
where one cannot smoke"

Bend stout wire in a circle and

AN XMAS IDEA

The writer was once very poor
little boy, and probably needed cloth
ing worse than anything else; but if
he had been called upon to confide his
hearts desire to some fairy st. Mich
olas girl, he would probably have ask
ed for a train or pocket knife, and
would cheerfully have parted with
what raiment he had for a little red
wagon and some pretty candy. So,
from the wisdom of those unforgotten
days, he would hint to the st. Nicholas
girl that she be not deceived by those
juvenile appeals for clothing-they
were probably inspired. Clothing is
needed. doubtless, and should be pro-
vided; but let these be accompanied by
some Of the things dear to the child
ish heart-things which grown-ups
are apt to consider foolish" but
which accomplish what should be ev-
| cry ones purpose during the Christ
| mas time-the happiness of the child

Some Of the ballots IN use now will
