All of these strange umbrellas come from the old world. The umbrella-makers say that Ruro- s take much more pride in their um- las than do people of this country. Many little jokes are concealed in the umbrella handle there. A handle may present the appearance of a monkey or a cat or some other animal, and & secret epring will cause the little creature to open its mouth and spurt a drop of co- logne on the beholder. —_————————— what's political Bobby—Say, economy?

Figs, dates, stewed currants and even dried apples can be made to do duty for this purpose, and it is surprising what an amount of nourishment and working strengtt tracted from a fruit diet. Apples, oranges, shaddocks, bana- nas and canned frt urse, are ex- cellent fare for spring and summer, but the cheaper dried fruits are by no means to be d. In England this regime, with the addi. tion of hrown bread and butter or cream, is followed all the year round with the children of upper-class families; and the Scotch choose oatmeal for a similar use. In many places on the Continent black bread and a piece of watermelon, cucum- ber or onion is the standard breakfast— oftentimes the dinner and supper too— of the average workingman. Our own Western children are proof af what good flesh and bone can be built on a steady diet of cornmeal. Oatmeal is a littls too heavy, and cornmeal may be substituted as an agreeable change for breakfast : The Cor Way of S rect am Setting d Incorrect Table, like foo it Of it.
