The worl bead comes from "bede," the old English word for prayer. It has an interesting origin. In olden times, as a person repeated his prayers they were counted by ticking off one by one a string of simall pierced balls which were threaded together, and in time thes. balls came to be called es to the vanity of mankind. The oldest beads were simply stones with ho‘les through them, which, owing to their bright color or poculiar shape, took the fancy of the finder, who threadâ€" ed them on a strip of hide or fibre. Later. when we became more civilized, beads made of wood carved into fanâ€" tastic shapes were in favor. Some beautiful examples of both kinds can be seen in the British Museum. Uncivilized races have a passion for stringing together varicus objects as As streams and rivers run through the lanrd, they melt away the soft pieces of the soil and carry them to the sea,.

It is reminiscont of the old days when Euroâ€" peans were pouring into Western Canada. As we journey to and fro, we old graybeards fume and fret; things grow flercer here below, worse and worse, already yet; in the hallowed Long Ago things were different, you bet. Young folks hit a sober gait, and the night lights didn‘t glow; children took their lectures straight, for a lecturse beats a show; people went to bed at eight, in the saintly Long Ago. On a shelf upon the wall stood good volumes in a row; moral tales and sermons all, things the people ougbt to know; scribes had brains instead of gall in the snowy Long Ago. But a young man I have bored with a talk along this line, says, "Oh, gaffer, you have scored things I thought exceeding fine, and you‘ve told me how you soared in the blissful Auld Lang Syne. All the world was sinless then, you have often told me so; but I‘ve heard from other men, relics of the Long Ago, that you‘d find a boozing ken every bunâ€" dred feoet or so. Here‘s a street, oh, ancient wight, stretching out for verst on verst, and there‘s no saloon in sight, by the Demon Rum accurst; there‘s no bock beer sign bedight with a legend prompting thirst."
