In early Bible days richly embroid ered raiment was enumerated with the gold, silver and other valuable property of a rich man. In that primi tive age Dame Fashion was not the tickle goddess she Is at present, and the "raiment" so frequently mention ed In the Holy Scriptures descended from father to son as ti valuable part of the Inberlrnnee. Raiment was of ten sent, with gold and srems. as a present to dignitaries. It took not months, but years, to ornament some of these garments, and the gold thread so lavishly used In embroidering them was real gold. Moses describes the process of making the gold thread that was used In ornamenting the taber nacle. The habit of making presents of rare needlework is still common among eastern nations that changed their customs so slowly. Weeping Trees.

Dr. Annandnle while collecting In sects in western Bengal felt what he thought was ruin from a clear sky through the foliage of the trees. On Investigation he found that it fell from the leaves and was due to a species of plant bug present in enormous num bers. ' Leaves It to Her Judgment.

I shall say nothing, except that I leave the question to your own judgment" Life.
