THX M'HENRY PLAINDEALER, THURSDAY, JUKE 3, 1986 ;;^ Hogarth an Ad Writer Hogarth, the famous British artist and caricaturist, was at one time an advertisement writer. Before the days Of newspapers the enterprising shop keepers used hand dodgers or trades- Ban's cards which bore the name of the shop keeper and carried wording or pictures to describe his business. A collection of these old tradesman's cards have been found to have been 4rawn by Hogarth.

The women who In certain parts of the world still carry their burdens for miles on their beads have kept a carriage which queens must envy. The men who walked or ran in the primitive chase had a phyaical development which 10,000 years of civilisation have not Improved upon. Walking is the one universal art to save the race from physical degeneracy. Millions are dally yielding to temptation of wheels when they would be better oft physically, not to aay financially.

Surprise, conceit, strange combinations of Imagery and expression, may be successfully managed, but It is merit of an Inferior kind. The beautiful. pathetic and sublime are always simple and natural, and marked by a certain serene unconsciousness of a* fort--Edward Everett Violin Strings for Cnre For more than a century tlio stnrv has been revived at times in England that the aliment of lumbago would flee from the human body If the individual would wind a violin string loosely about the body and wear it for a few months. The D, A and E strings are favored as having that curative power, and re cently when a few cases of lumbago developed among members of the London Stock Exchange there was a very real run on the music stores, the demand for these violin strings taking nearly all the strings on hand. Fancy prices were demanded and received for pure Italian gut strings, particularly the E string, that was said to have a vary marked power over human suffering. Old Scriptural Name* Seem to Have Passed .• Writer callB attention to the interesting names found In certain sections, such as the village home of his childhood days where the names were almost entirely scriptural, so there were Matthew, Mark, etc., Rhoda, Sarah, Joseph, Benjamin, etc. The three »ons of our blacksmith were Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, the latter being shortened to Bendy. These passed, and their place was taken by family Dames--Charles, William, Henry, etc. The Twentieth century brought a hideous change In the direction of "gentility lH with such horrors as Oladys, Doris, Daphne, Sydney, Herbert ("Bert" or "Erb").

Le Bon of Languedoc prepared a "silk" from spiders, which was afterwards woven into gloves and stockings. Louis XIV of France, possessed a coat made of cobweb, and In 1877 the Empress of Brazil presented Queen Victoria with a dress composed entirely of cobwebs which, for fineness of texture and beauty of fabric, sur passed the most valuable silk. Nevertheless, cobweb "silk" Is not likely tr become a commercial proposition, for the voracious spider eats every day 27 times its own weight of insect food, which Is, of course, expensive, and produces in return only half a grain of "silk." Germ "Boom" In London you can get a bargain In germs. A quarter of a dollar will buy millions, and you can have your choice of more than 2,000 kinds. There lias been a great demand for germs lately from laboratories and hospitals, according to Popular Science Monthly, and workers In the Lister Institute are kept busy feeding, raising and bottling them to ship to the far corners of the earth. Many of the germ are cranky boarders, and the chef has to make special dishes for them. A favorite food Is beef tea, but others will touch only dishes In which eggs are used.
