When ParasoIs BEGAN.

Parasols when they first came into
use must have been cumbersome
Henri Estienne, writing in 1878, speaks
Of parasol as capable generally Of
sheltering four persons from the sun
And when they diminished in circum-
ference the material still remained of
the heaviest. Red velvet parasols,
with heavy gold fringes, were carried
by ladies of fashion in the days of
Louis XIV. At that time it was posi-
BILE when crossing bridge in Paris to
hire parasol at one end and deposit
it at the other, the charge for the
accommodation being a sou. Under
the regency fashion went to the other
extreme. Mems parasols folded into
the shape Of three cornered hat and
could thus be carried elegantly under
the arm. Ladies' parasols were hinged
so that they could slip into the pocket,
for ladies had pockets then.-London

One Of the most amazing things in
natural history is the way in which
beetles have triumphed in the struggle
for existence, says the Popular Science
Monthly. OF all creatures they are by
far the most numerous, no fewer than
10000 distinct species having been
identifed-three times the number of
backboned animals.
Beetles are found practically every
where in the frost. bound tracts of
Iceland and in the bot desert sands of
Africa, on the highest mountains, un-
der the ground and as fossil in the
deepest strata, on land and in water,
on plants, among stones and in wood
and earth and even in the very craters
of volcanoes.
But there is one place where no beetle
has yet been found. It is the inhospi-
table land of Spitzbergen, to the north
Of Russia. Here are found the NAM
mails, birds, fish, mollusks, crustaceans,
a few insects of varied species and
many spiders, but not a single beetle
While other insects have succeeded
in some way in migrating from the
mainland, the beetles have apparently
been unable to cross the wide, icy
waters - -. ~

Seven Bells,

Everybody who knows anything
about nautical matters understands the
methods Of keeping time at sea-eight
bells every four hours. From 6 to 8 in
the evening is the second dogwatch,
but on British ships seven bells (half
past DOT the second dogwatch are
never struck. All other ships, even the
American, strike these bells. During
the Napoleon1c wars there was a great
mutiny In the British navy The, crews
Of the fleets lying at, Spithead and the
More agreed to rise simultaneously
against their officers. The signal
agreed upon was seven bells of the
second dogwatch. The mutiny actually
began at the arranged time, but failed,
the ringleaders being executed. Ever
since then seven bells Of the second
dogwatch has never been struck on.

Do you know how to walk? Perhaps
you do. To walk correctly you should
swing your leg from the hip and not
from the knee, and breathe deeply. If
you hold your chest up, you will not
complain of an increasing girth~ of the
waistline. '~~~
Physical culturists maintain that one
cause Of women having large hips is be-
cause Oh. their narrow high heeled shoes,
and the habit of toeing out This throws
the center of gravity Of the foot on the
side of the heel, when it should be on
the ball of the foot, with the result that
the strain is thrown on the wrong
muscles and a poorly developed figure
results. Wherefore it is best to select
your footgear so that the center of gray
ity falls on the bali of the foot.
Covering for the feet was very early
recognized by savage tribes and probably
originated to protect the feet against the
burning sands, or in other elimes from
the rough forest paths.
Never before has there been such q
display. Of new footgear styles, The
host of various styles for different oc-
casions is so complete that it is only a
matter of selecting proper models, ;for
the late arrivals can, easily be- dis
ting1ished at glance.
The height of shoes is determined by
the fugitive hem of the skirt: The az
erage height is from 7 to 8 inches, but
then they may soar upward to even 1C
and 1917.
Indeed button boots are in the zenith
OF their popularity for wherever cloth
topplngs are employed buttons are re:
quired. The higher boots fit the foot
more trinity when laced. Lace pattern
boots are used mostly for sport wear
