The umbrella is a comparatively modern feature of European civiliza- tion. in 1750 Jonas Runway. 3 Quaker. first went through the streuts of Lon~ don carrying an umbrelia. Three years from now, in 1900. it will be meet to :elebraie the sesquicentennial of this most useful implement. Vin tth is an age of celebration. it is not likely that so good an opportun- ity will be missed. Already in London they are. discussing the proper manner of doing homage to the umbrella. Mr. Hanwny was a man of strong character, but it required all his courâ€" age to brave the London crowd, with his strange rain shield. The inhabiâ€" tants. of that great metropolis received him with jeers and even more substan- tial marks of disapproval. But he was imperturlable, and in consequence of his example the umbrella came very rapidly into general use. lianway had travelled much in the East, and there he had noted the great benefits derived by the natives from the umbrella, both as a protection against 'l‘llE- SUN AND RAIN. The East. with its infinitely older civâ€" ilization, has been familiar with this, as with many other useful articles. at a. time when Europe was sunk in the wildest savagery. Umbrellas were known to the Egyp- Thoroughly Grateful. MR. STEPHEN 531.151.: GLADLY TELLS now as was CUBED. _~ Afler Other Remedies Failed to Help ml). Dr. Williamh' Pink l‘llls made Him I lullhy Kan. From the Montreal Herald. Down on ’William street the bulk of the butter and cheese trade is done and it is there that the Montreal cold storage and freezing company‘s mam- moth building is located. In the sum- mer time, when extensive shipments are being made, the big block is a veritable beehive. Several well known exporting firms have their warehouses in this building and one of them is Wm. '1‘. Ware & Co. Their head ware- house man is Mr. Stephen Belisle. who as his name. indicates. is aFrenchâ€" Canadian and in the prime of life. If ever there. was a grateful man on the filt'! of the earth to-day that man is Stephen Belisle. After suffering in- describable agonies for several months he is now the picture of health and [feels that it is his duty to tell all the uworlll how he was restored to health {and happiness. Mr. Belisle explained ihis troubles, now fortunately a thing {of the Inst, to a reporter of the ‘Herald recently. “My work called gme to all parts of the warehouse." said he, "and sometimes I went into .the freezing room without my coat ior cap on and then back to the other j parts of the warehouse to the warmer ’atmosphere.

The impediments of the pavement con- sists of kisques. trees.

It is alleged that the encroachments of the last are becom- ing more and more threatening from the point of view of the safety and convenience of the pedestrian. Cer- tainly cases are not rare in which the terrace monopolizes the whole of the pavement, and in narrow streets one often forced on to the roadway, where a recious share look-out has to be kept or iuggernauts of omnibuses and cabs. t may not be generally known. by the way, that it is to M.

Nor is it. generally known that M. Lepine sent _a score of picked policemen over to London to learn from the police of that well-policed city this very art of controlling the traffic, which, however, seems to have been imperfectly learned.

And it is on recrod n. veritable gamp. And it is on record that when the son of the Emperor off China was captured in the second Tar- tar invasion he was made to carry the umbrella of the Tartar chief when he went. out hunting. 'l‘he parasol was invariably carried by the high-bred flames in Greece, and a white parapline was borne by the priestvsses of the goddess Athene in the annual Scirophoria. The fashion migrated also to Rome, where the umbraoulum carried by the women and even by some of the men. was ‘MADE OF LEA'llHER. and could be opened and shut. This fact is mentioned by Martial, Juvenal and Ovid; while the latter also speaks of “a golden umbrella which wardcd off the keen sun." In Siam the umbrella has been regarded as a mad: of distinc~ tion. and M. de Loubere, in his work on that country, tells us how the use of the umbrella was only granted to certain of the King’s subjects. The King was invariably protected in his progresses by an umbrella appearing as three separate protections against the weather had been mounted on one 4 stick, one over the other. ’l‘avernier speaks in his "Voyage to the East." of the throne. of the Great Mogul be- ing supported on either side by an um- brella. The princes of the Mahratta provinces in India bore the title of Chatrapti. lord of the umbrella; while in Ava. to this present day the title of the ruler is “King of the White Eleâ€" phant and Lord of the Twentyâ€"Four Umbrellas." YOUR. HAN'UKERCHIEF. One of the most important details in the toilet of a fastidious woman is her handkerchief, and that. whatever else may be lacking. is sure tobe of cob- webby fineness and of snowy purity. Fashions change in handkerchiefs as in aid other things. but the all-white linen am sure to be good taste. and am ultwuys a safe purchase. A novelty at present is the small squam of linen edged with: an inch and a half rufro of footing. which gives a pretty finish and luunders remarkably well. The narrow hem edged with lace. or trimmed with two rows of narrow in- sertion. is altvays in good iaste. and such a handkerchief ranges in price from 25 cents to $2 each. the difference depending upon the lace usedâ€"whciher heal valvnriunncs or imitation. .
