AS far back as that ancient epic, the

largely in the life and history of the
Hindu, and it was from India that
they were introduced into Europe.
With the development of diamond cut

the Fifteenth century diamonds begar
to be more widely used by the west

MONUMENT OF OLD BRITAIN
Pile of Stones Found in Wheat Field
Supposed to Be Part Of Shaft
Erected in 455

In the year 1927 citizen of Lon
don spent a holiday at Hollingsbourne
in Kent, and under date of July 26
of that year he writes in his diary ::
This morning about nine o'clock, in
company with Mr.. West and Eliza,
started in Mr.. Vests chaise for
Chatham. The principal object which
arrested my attention on my way
thither over BoXley hill was a large
pile of stones in a wheat field by the
roadside and on inquiry found it was
Kits Coty house
"Antiquarians tell us that in the
year 455 a battle took place between
the Britons and Danes on the banks
of the Midway at AylesfOrd, and the
stones now remaining are supposed to
be part of a monument then erected.
Upon examination you see two i'm
mense stone slabs. each nine tens
weight, fixed on the end in the ground,
and inclining toward each other An
other slab is between them for sup
port, and one great stone, of more

versely over all, making a kind of cell
about seven feet each way and {, Q
same in height. The stones have no
marks of the chisel about them
The manner of rearing these piles
was somewhat ingenious. Accordinr
to antiquarians, mound of earth was
raised, ascending by a gradual slope
Up this the stones were conveyed on
rollers, and dropped by the ends into
holes which had been previously dug
to receive them. The impost was then
placed across them, and the earth re
moved nearly to the level of tn
ground; but for this device it would
have been impraeticable to have raised
Il stone (the greatest length of which
N the present instance, is twelve feet
and the thickness little less than two
,eet throughouD to the height of sew
eral feet, and this without any de
scrption of mechanic powers.
Today Kits Coty house stands as II
did when this writer so carefully
@cribed it ninety-six years ago. In al
probability, however, this cromlecf
had its origin long before the year 453
and it may even date back to the
Stone age.
AS to its name, ii is possible tina,
this monument was styled Kits Coty
house, sometimes spelled "Kitts
City houseD during the Middle ages
A Kentish rhyme, of medieval origin
refers to Kit" going to Canterbury

Luna Original Moon Deity.

Luna is the Latin name for the
moon. To the Romans, however, Luna
was not a planet, but a goddess, who
drove her silver chariot across the
sky. This goddess was not always
gentle and kind and was believed
sometimes to drive insane those who
had seriously offended her.
From this old superstition the word
''lunatic" grew up. But there was
another '"ity, a far more important
one. named DiH"a. and since she was
a sister of the sun god, Apollo she
must, argued her worshipers, have
something 10 do with the moon. To
her, therefore. gradually We're trans
ierred the qualities of Luna. until in
time the two were merged into one
conception. Luna, however. was the
original Roman moon goddess, and
her v ship dates back to the time of
RomuIus, founder OF Rome. in 753 T.

Wrinkles Gone After Only Ten
Minutes Treatment
Onamor-New Spanish Discovery Quickly Restores
Youthful Bloom Regardless of Age

Every woman knows where age
first shows its power to mar beauty.
She breads to look in her mirror
for fear of finding deepening lines
In her face; she breads to examine
her hands for fear flabbiness and
tiny wrinkles will warn her of dis
appearing youth. But there is no
longer any need to fear your
mirror!
Wrinkles cannot remain longer
than 10 minutes if Onamor is ap-
piled. Onamor is the name of the
marvellous new discovery made By
the Spanish Chemist, Jacques Ro.
mano. Senior Romano has produced
scientific combination of pure in
gradients which, on it's first appli-
cation, removes the wrinkles, crow.
feet, and frown lines that can so
disfigure the most beautiful face.
But Onamor does not stop there,
Used night and morning it's pur.
pose is to remove every trace of
every wrinkle from face or hands,
to eradicate blackheads, refine en-
larged pores and bring back the
glowing complexion and smooth
contours of youth which advancing
age threatens to destroy.
Onamor can do this because 1t
works on an entirely new principle.

The Teeming Times
By TINY TESSIE.

Midsummer madness stirs anew the
sluggish blood of men;
There's just a vague dead stiffness
In the air,
As Il the sun were holding silent
In q lazy sleep
Those who he in the night will do
For NAB, the Queen OF Fairyland,
will ride aloft tonight
Woe 20 the prying mortal who
would glimpse the fairy sight!
Midsummer night. the wise witch
zauberlinda rides. her coach;
the reindeer draw her chariot; you
can hear their hoofs approach:
The witch holds counsel in the
land against the reign OF man;
The woodland folk are gathering
~ az iar as eye can scan;
VIII ride abroad tonight
To be the counsel OF the dumb and
listen to their plight.
Long ago when fairies rode and
Lady Moon was high,
Just at twelve, the witnhing hour,
they sailed along the sky;
Elves kept watch for mortais who
were not asleep in bed;
Those who wandered far abroad
were visited with dread;
For the fairies up to pranks would
change them into shapes
Writing. Shiny serpent or the
laughing, chattering ape.
Mothers kept their babies close, or
else the fairy horde,
Peeping In at keyhole or In crack
OF old clapboard,
II they should espy . baby In its
bed asleep,
Stealthily they'd look around, then
70 the baby creep;
Quick a. flash the baby gone,
changeling In its place
, On the woe the morrow morn upon
the mothers facet
Fairies good chased fairies bad
from out the wooded deIls:
Now the fairy band IL friendly, 30
the saga tells;
Mayhap little tricks they play upon
the mortal soul;
Harmless are their kitten pranlkB
and joyous on the whole.
ThAt Is why in Month of June,
when midsummer draws near,
Mortals blessed by fairies better
hide when moon IL clear.
FAIRIES are all dead and gone:
they've ram their HttIe bluff.
