Umbrellas were first used In a coun try wbere the Intensity of the light ind heat rendered a shade almost In dlxpenmible, and discoveries at Nine veh show that they were carried be fore the king to time of peace and sometimes In war. In KiOS Thomas Coryat traveled lo Italy and wrote, "The people do carry umbrellas-that is, tblnga that minister slmdow unto tbem for shelter against the aeorcbing of the sun." . In Beaumont and Fletcher's play, 1040. "Rule a Wife and Have a Wife." are these words, which prove that they were then known In England: "Are you at ease? Now la your heart at ease. Now you bare got a shadow, an umbrella, to keep the world'! scorch ing opinion from your fair credit" In 1780 Jonas Ilanway died In bouse lo Red Lion square. Ue waa the first man who ventured to walk the streets of London with an am brella over his bead. Dr. Sbebbeor was committed In the court of king's bench for a libel and was sentenced to stand In the pillory, but a servant In livery waa hired to bold an umbrella over bla bead to keep off the rain.

"Business Is good," merchant! report Taft had his last word yesterday. The Queer Chameleon. There Is nothing In the world will In duce a chameleon to take even the slightest apparent interest In Its sur roundlngs unless It be the sibt of what It considers a toothsome Insect The chameleon's method of taking its prey Is very curious, being effected by snooting out an enormously long, wormlike tongue, the end of which Is clubbed and covered with a viscid se cretion, to which the Insects stick and are thus drawn Into Its mouth. The ac- I tual projection of the tongue Is made with marvelous rapidity. The eyes of the chameleon are very curious Tbey are very large, but. with the exception of a small opening In the center, are covered with skin. Tbey are also en tirely Independent of euch other, with the result that occasionally the crea ture Is looking forward over Its nose with one eye, while with the other It is Intently watching something directly behind It Local women were yesterday initi ated Into the mysteries of the voting booth.

The Only Rest the Mind Needs Is When You Go to Sleep By Dr. EDWARD LEE THORNDIKE of Columbia University DURING NO WAKING MOMENT IS THERE ANY LEGITIMATE EXCUSE FOR IDLENESS ON THE PART OF THE MIND. INSTEAD OF A REST THE MIND SHOULD BE GIVEN NEW WORK AND SUPPLIED WITH A NEW INTEREST AND MO TIVES. IT SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO REST 8AVE IN 8LEEP. Repugnance to work is overcome by seeing results. So until the habit of work is firmly fixed upon one it is necessary to engage in work i for which the brain of the worker is peculiarly fitted, in which it; TAKES PLEASURE and which brings it tangible results. j It would be impossible for an inventor to continuo at work for weeks and months, as Edison, for instance, has frequently done, were ! it not that his interest was KEPT ALIVE BY SUCCESSFUL ACHIEVEMENT.
