Earrings have always been among the
most favorite ornaments of nearly all
the nations of the world, certainly with
those which are called civilized. Indeed
among the Persians, i Babylonians .and
Carthaginians they were worn by men
as well as women. They were always
worn by Greek women from Hera, in
the "Iliad" down to the Ve'nns de
Medici, whose ears are pierced for "the
reception'of earrings. Pliny tells us-that
there was no part of dress upon which
greater expense was lavished among the
Bomans. Many Egyptian earrings of
very beauiiful design have been preserv
ed, and these antique designs have been
imitated in modern times. All jewels
are, no doubt, of barbario origin, and
earrings among the rest, so why discard
them on that ground? . W preserve what
we admire, even if it comes to us
through this source. And if piercing the
ears is barbarous what can we say of
shavings which is done simply for fash
ion, and causes much more uneasiness
to the flesh than simply piercing the
ears once and for all? , i
Few would venture to advocate the
abolition of shaving. Why, then, pro
test against earrings on this ground?
Care should, of course, be exercised that
ears are carefully pierced and allowed
to heal properly before ornamental ear
Tines are worn, but when once this is
done they ' cause no further trouble.
They are now fashionable, and this with
the large majority of people -is enough
to say for them, but some venture to
! think, as they are essentially a wom-
ily ornament and add grace and
charm to a true womanly face, they
should be preserved. -Chicago Times-
Herald.
The South African' I-abor Market. '
I believe, as with fighting peoples of
India, so with the Zulu and the Mata-
bele, military service will eventually
prove an excellent means of eliciting
the loyalty and utilizing the pugnacity
of the nation. I AH over South Africa the
great social and economical difficulty of
the day is the state of the labor market.
Inefficient, according to our standard,
though Kaffir labor may bo for the pur
poses of mining as well as farming, it
is absolutely indispensable. White men
may bo overseers and managers, but the
pick .and Bhovel . work is, and must be
for some time, in the hands, cf natives.
Whatever may be the case in America,
it is certain that in South Africa black
and white would not come ; together in
a single shift or a single gang cn the
same level. . Whether in the future em
ployers will not bo forced to import
hands, not exactly cf the class called
"mean white," but from the same coun
tries as now supply the American mines
with labor,, remains to bo seen.
The scarcity of Kaffirs is a serious fact
in the industrial world of Afrikander-
dom. It does not spring, as I have stated,
from any shrinkage of population, for,
on the eontrary, there is an increase,
but it is to be accounted for by the in
grained distaste for manual exertion
which makes the male Kaffir in his own
kraal send Bis women to work in the
fields while he sits in his glory at his
hut's door. Everywhere they have made
money and bought cattle, and, accord
ing to Kaffir custom, each son of the
house has the right to put his spoon into
the common bowl and the common stew,
so that the young ' ' bucks' ' are net forced
to work from any fear of starving.-
Fortnightly Review.
LiUth. Adam's First Wife. -
The old Talmudists had a queer leg
end concerning the first 'pair; created
. by the Almighty. According to the
' story, Lilith was Adam's original
'helpmeet," and Eve was the after con-
sideration. The Talmud says that Lilith
j was created just as Adam was but of
the dust of the earth. Soon after the
breath of life had been breathed into
Lher ears (you will -remember that the
Bible says "nostrils" in Adam's case)
her entire nature changed to such . an
extent that she became a veritable de
mon. About this time - the devil came
along, and, recognizing iu Adam's wife
all that was necessary to inako !a first
class governess of the Infernal regions,
Dersuaded her to quit the first ftn and
go with him into the '' upper region or.
the air. " To us this seems like a queer
place for the location of hell, but that
is the direction the pair are said to have
taken when they left Adam as the sole
occupant pf the garden. At home with
the king of the sulphurous domain, she
became the mother of devils, and then
deserted Pluto and became a ' 'specter of
darkness." . - "
After this, transformation her sole de
light appears to have been in the de
struction of innocent babes. It is even
said that our word "lullaby" is a cor
ruption of an oriental term, "lillaabi,"
which means'Avaunt," or "Begone,
Lilith." The ignorant and superstitious
Jews of the far cast still tie amulets or
charms around the necks, waists, wrists
or ankles of their babes in order to pre
serve them from Lilith's evil intentions.

These boys who draw on slates and
whose time and thoughts are constantly
running to pictures sometimes turn out
to be great artists and leave splendid
names behind them. In the great picture

the pride and joy of all true Dutchmen,
hangs, among other masterpieces, the
most famous animal picture in all the
world. It? is called "The BulL " It was
painted by a very young man. whose
name was Paul Potter, and who was

observation of Kant's personal peculiar

He found it necessary at the same
time to keep up his stockings. Accord

and outside each hip he wore a contriv

In Sargent's Studio,
Sargent's studio is always a sociable
place. Unlike many artists, the presence
of visitors or companions does not dis
turb him when he is painting. He seems
to work without obvious exertion even
in his intensest activity. "When his
models are resting, he fllla up the gap
by strumming on the piano or guitar,"
.Bays one of ms irienas. nu mmiua
while at work is that ol a man oi con
summate address and does not show
nhvsical or mental effort " He knows
thoroughly well what he is about and
what his capabilities are, so that while
he searches the truth in his pictorial
rendering of what ia before him, and
often repaints a part of hia picture en
tirely in the effort to make it as perfect
as possible, he works witn connaence.
Ho has never been allied with any revo
lutionary movements in art, and, while
novelty appeals to him in things seen,
he shuns all passing crazes or, new aoc
trines. William A. Coffin in Century.

I Sebastian Cabot. ,;.-- '-
Sebastian Cabot retired from public
affairs in 1557, and died shortly after,
leaving a high reputation as a scientific
and practical mariner, much of which
the author of this book considers and,
it must be admitted, has cogently proved
to be undeserved. Our own verdict
would be that he was guilty of much
f alsehood and intrigue, that he was not
as expert a seaman as he claimed to be
and that in the leadership of men he ex
hibited neither justice, mercy nor even
ordinary discretion. But let us temper
justice with mercy, and in judging pf
Jhe worthies of past-ages bring to light
some extenuating circumstances.
He was of the Italian race, a people
who for at least a century had borne an
unenviable character for slyness and
underhand proceedings ; he lived in an
age when mercenary service was in
vogue, and strict fidelity to engagements
Was not to be -expected ; the languages
of all the Latin races are prone to vague
ness and exaggeration, and thus often
deviated, and even unintentionally,
from veracity, and he had to deal with
Spaniards, who deemed his foreign birth
a sumcient reason ior aisooeymg ms ur
ders. Perhaps his character may be just
ly comprehended if we apply to him the
common phrase "too clever by half."
London Spectator.
- Mark Tour Wheel.
John. D. Carroll, chief detective of a
wheelman's insurance company, said
recently: "Every owner should have a
private mark upon his or her wheel.
By this I don't mean a simple mark
upon the saddle post or on the saddle it
self, as those are the very places where
a thief will look for such a mark, and
should they be there both saddle and
post will be removed. If you want to
make the private mark on any part of
your frame, say on the underside of the
top tube, turn your wheel upside down
and remove a portion of the enamel, say
1 inch by 1 inch, and clean well till'the
metal is freed from any part of the en
ameL Then cover the space so cleaned
with a greasy material candle grease,
for instance then take a pointed instru
ment of some kind and wet the point
with carbolic acid. Proceed to write
your initials or private mark on the
tubing, being sure that you have suffi
cient acid on the -pointed "pen -before
you begin. After allowing the acid to
leave its trace on the tubing, you can
rub off the grease," and One application
of enamel will cover all trace of the
mark you have made." Philadelphia

He Bebnked an Officer For Hii

One of Messrs. Cassell's publications
says that tne late ijnaries rsrauiaugu,
when in the British armyj was orderly

once entered the room where he was sit

some discourteous order. Private Urad-

: It was clear that the private soldier
had committed an act for which he
might be court martialed, and as he
said once, "I felt myself in a tight
place. ' ' The officer made his accusation,
and Private Bradlaugh was bidden to
explain. He asked that the officer
should state the exact words in which
he had addressed him, and the other,
who had, after alL a touch of honor in
him, gave the offensive sentence word

addressing the colonel, that the officer's
