The beautifully blended design originated in Cashmere, India, whose natives made a specialty of exquisite wraps, hand-woven from the fine long fleece of the Cashmere goat. Into every garment, covered with almost fairylike tracery, went years of patient toil and skill. From India the shawls reached Egypt by the old trade routes. The enterprising folk of Paisley, in Renfrewshire (noted for centuries as weavers), saw the possibilities in the hand-wrought Indian article, and their efforts to reproduce the pattern on their looms met with success. From this achievement, according to a writer in the New York Times, grew an industry whose story is one of the romances of commerce. The business evolved frorn an idea, on through the stage of world renown and to virtual extinction within eighty years; but in its boom days shawls were manufactured to the value of $5,000,000 and some of them sold for $100. Paisley haS been a place of weaving. since the Seventeenth century, when practically every cottage in the surrounding shire, as; well as in the town itself, had its hand loom and attendant workers in lineh arid wool. . .:: • ' Though Paisley was founded by the Romans in 84 -A!. D.t the village really grew up around the abbey started in 1163 by Walter Fitzalan, first high steward of Scotland and founder of the royal Stuart dynasty. It was Marjory, daughter of Robert the Bruce, who married Walter, the sixth steward, and their son, King Robert II, was the first of a line of sovereigns that ruled Scotland for five centuries. Robert II was buried in Paisley abbey in 1406, and in 1888 Queen Victoria honored his house by placing a monument over his grave. Tiger, Zebra Butterflies Named Because of Color Butterflies were given their name because of the yellowish color of so many of them, making them look like butter. Besides the yellows, there are many other families of butterflies. Among these are the meadowbrowns, the longbeaks and the swallowtails. The swallowtails are so named because of the points which jut out from their hind wings. These points have been thought to resemble a swallow's tail. The swallowtail family is itself divided into many branches. The tigers, the blues, the blacks, the zebras and the giants are some of the branches, according to an authority in the Detroit News. The black swallowtail is found in almost every section of southern Canada and the United States. When eggs of the blacks hatch, the caterpillars feed on the leaves of such vegetables as carrots, parsnips and parsley. After becoming butterflies, they flit about for two months or so before death overtakes them. The blue swallowtail is one of the prettiest butterflies in North America. The hind wings are largely covered With blue - green scales which glisten in the sunlight. The front wings are darker, and have white spots on them. Tiger swallowtails are striped yellow and black. The "zebras" are striped with green and black and have longer "tails" than most members of the group. The giant swallowtail is the larg-, est in its family. It sometimes has a wingspread of close to five inches. There are larger butterflies in the world..

Come in i 'TM1 PMTt'% OM* Ireland, Mother of Croqnet Ireland appears to have been the mother of croquet. A London ivory turner has produced evidence from the books of his Arm that the firm was making croquet sets for export solely to Ireland as far back as 1837. In the annals of the Lonsdale family it has been discovered that it was the Irish Miss MacNaughton who taught Lord Lonsdale's sporting family the game in 1850. And it was the Lonsdale family who popularized it on the English lawns of that period. What seems uncertain is whether the Irish invented the game or merely took it over from the Restoration game of "Paille Maille," after which the street Pall Mall is supposed to have been named. Work of Trained Food Tasters Trained food tasters can detect strength difference of less than 10 per cent in flavors, reports the American Chemical society. Many professional tasters have no keener sensibilities than other people but have developed the ability to observe, analyze and interpret the sensations received to a, remarkable degree. .
