BEFORE THE DAY OF GLASS
Leather Bottles Were Once in Com
mon Use, and Served Their Pur-
pose Admirably.

In past days England had many
bottles and other receptacles made
from leather. This was largely owing
to the scarcity of native pottery and
glass and the costliness of such things
when they were imported
Among these leather vessels were
the water bouget, the leather bottle,
and the blackjack, the laSt-named in
Guiding all pots made in leather The
water bouget was pair of water
tight leather bags Joined together by
their necks like pair of glass oil and
vinegar bottles. The leather bottle
was used until the end of the
Eighteenth century, it's later use being
in the harvest fields
English leather drinking vessels and
bottles had the characteristics Of
strength and solidity and were made
of tanned oxhide, which was thick
and rigid; while foreign-made bottles
generally seen to have been-and still
are, where they exist-composed of
lighter and trimmer leather obtained
from the goat, pig or sheep, which was
cured in such a manner as to remain
flexible.
There is great variety among these
leather vessels, which were made of
plain and stamped leather, and about
which many particular uses and as
sOciations sprang up.

Parrot Fish CheWs Cud.

Native to the Eastern Mediterranean
is the parrot fish that chews it's cud
like cow. In other words, it cuts
off it's food in relatively large bits,
stores it away until it has time for the
business of thoroughly chewing, and
then reduces it to a fine pulp. Gu
riously enough, the ancients called this
fish a >ruminant, but their tales Of it
had been taken with many grains of
salt until recently, by modern nat
uralists. A writer in the Scientific
American Monthly notes that as far
back as the Fourth century B. c.,
Aristotle asserted that the parrot fish
is to be classed among ruminant ami
mails. This story was repeated by the
Roman writer on natural history,
Pliny. 1t passed as fable, like SO
many other ancient statements of fact
since verified.

Ancient Form of Adjournment.

Tattooing, that very apparent means
of proclaiming ones love for the brfny
deep, is an ancient form of adorn-
mept, and in ancient times most hon.
orable. The Polynesians are known
to have been adopts in the art, and
from that time to this there have al
ways been people who have been at
tracted to this form Of beauty. These
decorations have taken all sorts of
forms, from the plain black and white
work to that in the most variegated
colorings, to say nothing Of the meth
cd of "gash" tattooing, which consists
of cutting deep gashes in the desired
design, filling them with clay and then
letting them remain as a sort of cameo
on the flesh.-Detroit News.

Our Football Season.
Edgerton high school closed it's foot
ball season by defeating GAINESVILLE on
Armistice day. Edgerton turned out
real team this year, considering all the
new material it was necessary to de-
veIop. Only four boys who had played
football before were back as a nucleus
for this years team 1t was up to the
coaches, three in number, to develop
the new material. They did this re-
markably well, and team was soon
whipped into shape that proved to be a
credit to the school and city. Although
the team was defeated twice, it won
five games and piled up 102 points to
it's opponents 80. People are begin
ming to look forward to next years
team, and prospects of good one are
in evidence.
