twelve m onths as the man who

about twelve years old a t the

Tha First Umbrella
When Jonas Hanway, of Lon
don, appeared on the street* of
London a t the beg nning of the
eighteenth century, with an
umbrella he had constructed to
keep off the rain, he became a
subject for much discussion and
ridicule. After he had u*ed it for
th irty years, however, the um
brella came into general use as
an article of great utility. Um-
brollas are as old as record«]
history. Sculptured representa
tions of them are frequently
found in the records of the earliest
times when Nineveh and Perse-
polis were flourishing cities.
They were alw ays used by wom
en, never by men.—From .The
People’s Rome Journal for Feb- '<•
tuary.

“ It will never pay here!” said
the hnsband. "You would never

“ Why not, William?”
“Because nothing would ever
