Origin of Earrings.
he Popular Mechanics Magazine

From the Popular Mechanics Magazine.
The present earring craze is a re-
crudescence of a fashion which dates
back to earliest times, men as we'll as
women being swayed by the customs,
especially among orientals.
Earrings were worn by both sexes
among the Persians, Babylonians, Ly-
dians and Carthaginians. They were
always worn by the Greek women
from Hera in the Iliad down to Venus
de Medici, whose ears are pierced
for the reception of earrings. Many
Egyptian earrings of very beautiful
design have been initiated in modern
times.
In England earrings were worn by
the Romanized Britons and by Anglo
Saxons After the tenth century
they went out of fashion in Europe,
not to be reintroduced until the six
teen century Stubbs, writing in
Queen Elizabeth's day, says:
"The women are not ashamed to
make holes in their ears whereat
they hang rings and other jewels of
gold and precious stones..''
Seafaring men, especially of the
southern nations of Europe, have re-
tanned the use of earrings, commonly
in the form of gold hoops. They have
of course, always found favor with
the women.

PHILADELPHIA Public Ledger

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Rear Admiral John X. Robinson
tells this story:
Down in Virginia there was an old
friend Of mine who was very potent
at after dinner speaking. He had
only one speech, in which he always
glorifled Patrick Henry, his own par
ticular hero among the many Vir-
ginia has given.
Some of his friends, perhaps a
little bored at the oft-repeated story
which always wound up in Give me
liberty or give me death" put up
a job on him one night when he
was called upon, without previous
notice, to speak on the subject OF
horse collie.
my friend was equal to the emer-
gency. He arose and addressed the
audience about as follows:
Gentlemen, this subject is one of
much more Importance than you be-
lieve. 1t affects the cost of trans
portation, the reliability of communf-
cation and 1t has a definite effect
upon the cost Of living. Horse collie
consists Of millions and millions of
little microbes within the body of
the horse, each crying out the words
of the immortal Patrick Henry-"Give
me liberty or give me death!"'"
