First Umbrella Shocked
Residents of Windsor

When we trip forth ON q rainy day

cure in the feeling that Our best bon
net will not be ruined by errant rain
drops, we do not think we are doing
anything eccentric or modern. To be
sure. an umbrella Is neither modern
nor eccentric, 50 far as the present-day
meanings Of the words are concerned.
Bun the umbrella is. nevertheless. COM
paratively modern. when we consider
that II is less than 200 years old.
Among old Colonial records In New
England there Is an indignant account
1T the atrocious actions Of society
belle OF Windsor. Conn. It seems that
the fair damsel walked forth upon a
rainy day, bearing above her naughty
head an umbrella that had been
brought to her from the West Indies.
The good townspeople, shocked and dis
mayed at such frivolity, thronged about
her. open-mouthed, and, to show their
disapproval, hoisted their large sleeves
on long spoon handles, and followed
her with ridiculous, mincing steps.
In 1897 there was but one umbrella
in Cambridge, Mass, and the owner OF
It made many a good penny renting 1t
out by the hour to cautious persons
who happened to be caught out In the
rain. The reason why umbrellas were
80 slow to become generally adopted
probably was because people Of means
did not travel on foot. 10 had net great
need Of umbrellas. and those without
means did not possess clothing 50 fne
that 1t must be protected from the rain.
Women carried umbrellas long before
men could deign to adopt them. It
was considered effeminate and rather
below the dignity Of the hardy man to
90 about under the shelter OF nimsy
umbrella.

pound up the pulp and squeeze it.
The water is rather salty and bitter,
but is clear and palatable.
Cactus plants are easily identified
as shrubs. with juicy stems bearing
small, scale-like leaves and punches
of sharp spines They vary in size
from plants about three or four
inches in height to trees 50 feet tall.
The plants are widAly distributed
in European countries and. with the
exception OF a single species all are
natives OF America Here they grow
In the hot, dry sections Of the coun-
try. particularly in Southwestern
United States and northern Mexico.
The "mescal BUTTON" or ''payote"
cactus, is a strong stimulant, and can
temporarily quiet all hunger. thirst
or fatigue pangs. The Mexican In
dians use this cactus for medicinal
and religious purposes.
The Indians use the juice of
certain species for healing cracks in
their feet and for other medicinal
purposes when on long journeys.
The cactus flowers are usually large
and vary in color from white, vel
low or orange to rose red, deep red
or purple. The fruit is lasting, and
IN many cases, Is charmingly colored.
