GLOVE BY NO MEANS MODERN
its Use Can Be Traced With Unerring
Accuracy Back to the Most Re.
mote Times.
The origin of the glove dates back
to remote antiquity. There Is reason
to believe that the ancient Persians
wore them, since it is mentioned in the
“Cyropoedia” of Xenophon thet on one
occasion Cyrus went without his
gloves. It is also known that some
kind of protective coverings for the
hands were used by the Romans in’ cer
tain kinds of manual labor and In hat
tle. The Euglish scholar, Dawkins
discovered on a bone dating from pre
historic days a design which The
claimed to be a picture of a glove, Or
the monuments of the Pharaohs In
Egypt there are represented among
the tributes pald by subjected peopl
gloves of the shape of the long suede
worn by modern women,
Homer speaks of the gloves worn
by the ancient Greeks In garden toll
and, though a crude mitten may be
meant. it is also thought that the an
clents knew the fingered glove, Glove
of the ancients corresponded In colo
with thelr foot coverings. The sandab
and hootlike stockings were generally
white or pink. Mittens are among the
dress accessories found with mummie:
of priestesses dating from the Zin
dynasty of Egypt. They were of the
same material as the upper garment.
Tibetan Wool Market,
At Patsso in the wilds of Tihet b

Presence of Cream a Surprise.
A family found a good deal of cream
on a bottle of miik which had been
standing overnight.
When the milkman called in the
morning the maid held it up to the
light and sald, “Look hese, 1 have
never seen anything like this before on
your milk."
The man looked sx it for a moment,
scratched his head, and replied, “Well,
1 don’t know what's the matter, but
