About the UMBRELLA,

There is Il very general belief that
umbrellas were invented and first used
bv Jonas Hanway, the celebrated Eng.
lish philanthropist. This is al error.
Hanway was perhaps the first man
who walked the London streets with
an umbrella over his head to keep off
the rain, and We are told that latter
continuing to use II for thirty years
he saw them come into general use"
He died in 1856, so that the date when
he introduced them must have been
between 1850 and 1860. The earliest
use Of umbrellas, however, dates back
1000 or 5000 years before this. IN
one Of the bas-reliefs brought from
Nineveh by lAayaru and now In the
British museum there is Il representa-
ton of Il slave holding an umbrella

For the Paper Younger Readers
LARGEST BUILDING STONES.
Mystery as to How Those of Baalbek
Temple Were Placed.

ssF s~~SSs
Probably the largest stones ever used
in any building are seen in the western
wall of the great temple of Baalbek, in
Syria, and the problem Is still un-
solved as to the methods used In con
veying them from the quarries and Of
placing them in position. The quarries
from which these blocks We're undoubt-
eddy cut can be seen about a half a
mile to the southwest Of the temple.
The three stones lie horizontally and
form part Of the other wall Of the
building. They are not on the lowest
part Of the masonry. but are twenty
three feet above the first row Of stones.
Each stone is over sixty feet long,
thirteen feet high and ten feet thick.
The most wonderful block OF all still
lies in the quarries, for something must
have occurred to stop the work Of
separating it completely from the rock,
and the great stone has lain there for
centuries awaiting completion. This
stone is seventy feet long, fourteen
feet high and thirteen feet thick. The
three sides and part Of the fourth have
been beautifully chiseled and are
| smooth and even.

@lIlOTT kENION was Wflt1nS ,
Il Sicilian story in his room in
a tenement building In which
~v;trious Municipalities had their
abodes. His first dwelling place since
he had began writing was Il handsome
bachelor apartment house. He had
not found literature profitable M had
moved from time to time, each move
carrying him downward.
His literary aspirations had come
down with his i'll success. He had be-
gun by firing Over the heads of the
| people and had ended by firing low
enough to cut off some peoples toes.
This was what he was writing at the
present time:
This detective who has come among us.
who seeks for evidence to convict our
most vtluable members. must be obnter-
ated. | shall rely on you and the Others
to keep me advised of his movements and
inform Inc Of the op%portune m to
strike him. Send me word at Wha hour
he usually goes out-Whether he Is alone
or attended. Does he ever cross the park?
If l can catch him there, where the dan
ger of witnesses would be at the mini
mum. l would finish him at a single blow.
kenton wrote this twice, and. select
ing the copy that he liked best. he
threw the other on the floor. Then he
went on with his story, which ended
with q certain person known only as
"the detective" being murdered in cold
blood while crossing the park.
It was late in the afternoon when
Kenton finished the last chapter and,
wrapping up his manuscript and ad-
dressing it to a publisher, went out
with it. dropped it If a receptacle for
bulky mail and proceeded to a restau-
rant for dinner. In the evening, hav-
ing a deadhead ticket to a movie thea
ter, he attended a play and about II
o'clock started for his room. AS he
approached he saw u number Of mer
whom were several policemen. Or
drawing nearer he noticed that the
front of the building in which he lived
was scattered on the pavement and thu
street.
"What's the matter there?" he asked
a man coming toward him from thu
wrecked building.

According to the Celtic belief, every
newborn baby that died became Il spirit
and to comfort its sorrowlng parents
it would scatter some kind OF flower
from the sky.
A woman named Malvina lost her
little son and grieved so long II so
hard that her friends tried to turn her
thoughts some other way.
Her friends made up Il song, when
was sung to her by n number OF young
women. The song told about their see
ing her little son on Il light cloud which
hung near the earth. He had a lot OF
new flowers, one Of which was Il gold
circle with silver leaves, tinted with
red around it. When it waved in the
wind it looked like a little baby play

A pair of handouts We're clapped on
Kenton's wrists, and he was taken 10
a police station. The landlord went
along as a witness. There was a pre-
liminary examination. at which the
landlord sw~re that Kenton occupied
a room in which an discriminating pa
per was found. Then the prisoner was
put into a cell.
The next morning. when Kenton was
wondering what it all meant. a lawyer
was uShered to his cell who said that
he had been retained by certain parties
to defend him, but that the defense
would not amount to anything. The
prisoners friends relied rather upon
terrorizing my witnesses that might
testify against him. But Why" asked
the attorney, "were you so careless as
to leave that letter where it would be
readily found?"
"What letter." asked Kenton.
"That letter to the gang announcing
that you We're ready to kill the detec-
tive"
II never wrote such a letter."
The lawyer shrugged his shoulders.
"For heavens sake, man." cried Ken
ton, suddenly remembering his story
"you don't mean that they have found
a scrap Of my Sicillan story"
"They found a letter Offering II those
to whom 1t vas written would put the
writer on to how to get a certain de
tective you would do him."
"Why, that Is felton,
"Fiction be hanged! You can't play
that game with the public prosecutor
but you needn't be afraid. That letter
doesn't prove that you threw the bomb
It's only circumstantial. You keel
quiet. Your friends have got it al
fixed, and you can't be convicted
"You needn't consider yourself m,
counsel. Ill take care Of my owl

l VERY we'll; II you want to be sen
up for a term Of years or to the 'chail
go ahead. All l have to say IS the onl,
? thing that can save you is terrorizinI
any witnesses who may be brough
| against YOU"
With that the man Of law departed
and kenton sent for a friend who wa
also All attorney. When the latter al
rived Kenton told him that he had &c
e into ii fix from writing Il blood an
thunder story and must be helped GU
The lawyer called on the publisher I
r whom his clients manuscript had bee
e submitted with a copy Of the scrap {

. found its place In the novel. He su

attention to the story and procured
e reading for it. The reports concurre
that the story was thrilling and esp
cially adapted to the class Of reade

USES FOR OLD Linen.

Never throw away old linen in any
shane or form. Cotton sheets and pill
when old and worm are soft
and splendid for bandages and other
sickroom needs. No new DandaSe
ever equals old bed or table linen for
such purposes, as they will tell you at
any hospital, but it is understood it
must be sterilized before being used.
Housekeepcrs are apt to overlook
this use for old linen unless there is
really sickness present in the house,
but a store Of such pieces laid away
will V come amiss even it they are
only used for ironing boards and for
wrapping up bundles in the storeroom,
for in a contagious disease old sheets
must be hung over the doorways to the
sickroom and kept wet with disinfect-
ant. When the weather is hot wet
sheets hung about the room will cool
the air.
The linen should have been washed
clean without starch, and the hands
that roll it should be very clean. For
an open wound steriliZed gauZe will be
n necessity, but clean linen may be
used to protect the bandages under
meath. At the hospitals the old linen
SO utilized is baked in the regular over
to sterilizc it before using.
When the bandages are rolled they
should be placed in a clean covered
receptacle until needed. A glass jar
or a covered box will do for the pur.
pose. The width of the bandages de
ponds upon their use. About II incl
is wide enough for a finger, and from
that the widths vary. For an abdom
inal bandage six or eight inches may
not be too wide.
The tops Of Old evening gloves have
their use too. An appeal recently came
from Paris for them, to be sewed to
gether as interlinings in vests for sol
diers in winter trenches. Hundreds O.
poor women are kept employed making
these winter comforts.

NAVAL SIGNALING.
It Began In Ancient Days by Raising
and Lowering Sails.

and Lowering Sails.
The origin Of the idea of using flags
by day and lanterns by night for sig
Mailing in the navy came into being
as far back as the middle ages.
In those ancient days some n
thought out a method Of raising and
lowering sails, the number OF times
they were raised or lowered indicating
the letter that was to be sent. That
proved very wearisome work and was
superseded In the seventeenth century
by the use Of balls and one hoisted
in various positions on the masts and
booms. At night different colored Ian
terms were used.
In the following century twelve flags
were used, either singly or in combina-
ton, and these flags supplied all the
signaling that was necessary in fight
ing. as Make all SAIL Engage the

was used and on which are based the
present day methods Of signaling.
The system Of signaling from ship to

Frenchman named Chappe in 1894 anG
adopted in the British navy a few
years later.-London Telegraph.

SHRAPNEL SHELLS.
Various Types In Use and the Mass Of
Bullets They Carry.

Various Types In Use and the Mass OF
Bullets They Garry.
Most nations are agreed that the
three inch shrapnel is the most effec.
tive for killing men in modern war
fare. The three inch type, which is
almost universally used, contains from
punched together II. the front part Of
the shell. A time fuse, which is made
with the accuracy of a watch, is grad
uated in seconds and is set to explode
at Il given range as determined by the
artillerymen.
The velocity of the shell may be
gathered from the fact that it travels
Il mile in four seconds and within a
| quarter Of a minute Is four miles from
the mouth Of the gun. At any time
during this rapid flight the shell can
be made to explode with marvellous
precision and deadly effectiveness,
driving its bullets in a cone shaped
shower down on the heads Of the
enemy.
A remarkable fact regarding these
shells is that the velocity Of the bull
lets when the shell eXplodes exceeds
the velocity of the shell at the time
Of the explosion by from go to 300
feet per second, the bullets of a BURST
ing shell covering a zon about thirty
yards wide and $50 yards long.
Shrapnel shells used by different
governments at the present time all
operate on the same principle, but diff
fer somewhat as to size and the ar
engagements Of the fuse.-Pearson's
Weekly.

Three Wishes.

Should a good fairy come this way
And give me wishes three,
l would not have to stop and think.
I know just what they'd be.
I'd wish there wasn't any school,
So l could always play
Out in the yard and fields and woods
All day and every day.
I'd have a baby sister, too,
With shiny yellow curls,
For there is nothing quite SO nice
AS little baby girls.
Then every day I would have Jane
Make flaky tarts for me
And little cakes, and then I'd wish
But, oh, dear, that makes three!
