Dirts who are fond of earrings may
perhaps be Interested In hearing a
few facts about them. Sail it is for the
emancipated woman of the present
day to learn that these fashionable or-
uameuts were originally a mark of
sin very. In bygone days the slave al
ways wore his master's earrings. In
the east they were a slgu of caste and
were buried with the dead. Some nu-
e'ent earrings were very elaborate, and
many statues had their ears bored iu
readiness for votive offerings of ear
rings. Iu England the earliest earrings
were very cumbrous and made of
stone or wood. The eighteenth century
saw the glorification of the earring,
fashionable beauties optvyiug each oth
er with the rarest and most beautiful
jewels.—London Draphie.
Not Srplng, Not Believing.
There wns a man In Nottinghamshire

Sleaford, in Lincolnshire, aud I never
saw a bhirk man, and 1 don't believe
there are any.”—London Standard.
