song. In the infancy Of the trade
Glasgow was its chief market. and was
visited yearly at the great July fair
by the bonnet makers with their years
man ufacture OF nightcaps and hornets.
A record Of 1850 shows that the Stew.
arton corporation was pennlized by
the Glasgow trades because OF the in
suff1ciency Of its yearly product
In 1920 the Stewarton corporation
consisted Of thirty-6ve members. who
were bound by very stringent rules to
keep up the price Of b0nnets. By
periods of compulsory resistance from
trade. In one instance IN offender

The End Of the Earth.
By "f1OPo

The ancient Persians believed In tho
renovation Of the earth. A comet in
the course Of its revolutions will strike
the earth and set it on fire. Rivers or
molten metals will Goat down the
mountains and deluge the valleys. All
men must pass through these streams
The good WILL find them like baths OF
milk. The evil will ind them like
torrents of lava. but they will be puri-
fed thereby and finally will jotn the
good upon the new earth and sing
praises to the eternal source OF all.
This belief was held also among tho
American Indians and the Hindus-
The Egyptians believed that the earth
would be destroyed by fire and water
The Chaldeans said that when all the
planets met in the sign Of Capricorn:
the earth would be overwhelmed with
q deIuge Of water. and whenever they
all met in Cancer it would be con.
sumed BY fire.

Sheets. in scotland.

The custom Of sleeping in one large
sheet. doubled at the foot. seems to
have been peculiar to Scotland and to
have made special impression oD more
than one English traveller. Fynea
Moryson. writing in 1893. says. They
used but one sheet, open at the sides
and top. but closed at the feet and 80
doubled" and John Ray. the nntural-
ist. who visited Scotland about 1862.
remarked that tit il the manner In
some places there to lay on but one
sheet as large as two. turned up from
the feet upward" The practice. ] i'm
agine. was continued until recent
times. and ! have, when a boy. slept
