sUiicrs both human mul clcstiaL But the
Kint which concerns our present purjiose is
the very prominent position occupied by the
umltrella. In ono caso the treo is overshad
owed by a very la.re chntta. Iu the other,
which is sculptured on a pillar of the samo
gateway, two chattas combine their honor
conferring power on the sacred tree. In each
case these ministers of dignity are themselve.i
adorned with garland.-). Another indication
of the samo reverenco is to be seen on Si
sculptured stone at the Great Tope of Buddha
Gaya, erected B. C. 250, in front of the sacred
Bo-tree (Flius religiosa), beneath wbiet
Gautama attaiucd. t the- BiiddhahOod', aui
Which is '6till growing! Ifere, also, the uny

Passing to southern India, we find that os
some of the ancient BvMsl sculptures at
l 4.1 'I' V, 1.;..1A1., ..r,rv
is expressed by the use of the sacred lotus
leaf as a sunshade (the ribbed leaf cup being
highly suggestive of that uiTibreJ,! (orni).
All hough the tipper part of ' one of : these
iulptured reiic ilirines is brokeii', so'tliat the
original nunilior is uncertain, there still re

primary idea of
the Umbrella is undoubtedly derived from a
sV,ady tree (umbrella, from umbra, shade),
wuh pendant boughs drooping from an up
right stem, as in tho weeping willow, or the
piixiular cluster cf long fronds which crown
the slender toni of each member of the great
families of tall (and in most oases perfectly
MPrJght palm trees, tree ferns and papa was.
Ho closely has this primitive model been ad
hered to by the peasants of Burmah and Ben
gal that their great clumsy chattas (umbrel
las) consist chiefly of a framework of baruboo
covered with leaves, or eli thatched with
The usual ingenuity of tho Chinese and
Japanese was not long in devising an ad
vance pn the original idel Jdany" centuries
must have elapsed since they bethought them
uf a method for converting leaves or bark
into stout paper. So while they retain the
ideq of the tree in the strong bamboo handle
and framework of split bamboo, they sub
stitute a thick waterproof paper for the
primitive green leaves.
Tho Assyrian bas reliefs show slaves hold
ing a richly ornamented umbrella above the
head of the monarch, not only in scenes cf
peace, but even in times of war. It appears
to be fringed with tassels and is provided on
one side with an embroidered curtain. In
these sculptures this mark of distinction is
reserved exclusively for the monarch, and it
never overshadows any ether person, how
ever eminent. The same thing is observed
in the sculptures of Babylon and Nineveh, in
which the king alone is thus distinguished.
Of tho ancient Mexican emperors it is like
wise recorded that not only were they borne
by rola3-s of great nobles, but also that four
more nobles of high estate were appointed to
uphold the sacred umbrella which added dig
nity to the imperial procession.
Iteverting to mediaeval days we find that
Persia likewise fully recognized the honor
conferring power of this symlol, as is fully
proven by the ancient title which lias ever
been bestowed on her high dignitaries,
namely, Satrap or Chatrapa, which (like the
titles of the Burmese kings and the Mahratta
chiefs) simply moans "Lord of the Um
brella." Indeed, it was from Persia that the
idea of carrying a canopy of some rich stuff
above any object to be reverenced seems first
to have reached Europe, the Baldachin of
ecclesiastical art having derived their name
from Baldaeh, the ancient Persian name of
the city of Bagdad. The baldaeh iuo, which
is simply a richly embroidered canopy, sup
ported by four poles, carried by four bearers,
is now familiar to us only in the gorgeous
processions of the Greek or Roman Catholic
churches, where it is borne above the conse
crated host or sacred images,
But In the middle ages it figured in all
solemn ' pr.6ccssidns-: coronations, marriages,
funerals, triumphal progresses of great men
just as wo may still see in eastern lands,
where the chief nobles of the kingdom are
tliose selected fcr the honor Gf supporting tho
splendid canopy which overshadows the
royal litter, or the funeral car whereon is
laid the honored dead. At the present day
Quoen Victoria's canopied throne may be
cited as a development of the imperial um
brella; the speaker's chair in vtrliament and
the bishop's throne in many cat'.iedrajs show
clearly how this honorable distinction be
came naturalized on British soil. 0. R

A Brief Summer Vacation.
A most curious method of spending the
summer out of town, and at the same time
preserving tne comrorts or borne and avoid
ing the bitter necessity of rising to catch an
early train, has been ierfected by several
young men who live in chambers and can't
afford to be awav from their I, ovinia T.v..-
tho most iart olflce work iu this season is
nnisueu uy o ciock, ana this level headed
young man s?izes his hat, catolies the boat
for Staten Island, the train for Coney island
or some like meiuoti or conveyance, to some
easily accessible resort, and by 5 o'clock is in
the surf washing away the heat and annoy
ances of the day, bracing up his system on
tennis, or seeking less active joys iu boating.
Ho dines leisurely at 7, smokes his cigar be
neath the stars, possibly carries on a gentle
summer flirtation till 11, w hen he takes the
train back to the city, and by 12 is fast asleep
in his own comfortable chambers, his dreams
unruffled by any thought cf hurried break
fast or a scramble for tho curs.
In effect, he has something over six hours
in tho country every day, with time to do a
bit of athletics, becomo cooled and rested,
mentally and physically refreshed, and 3ret
sacrifices none of his home comfort and saves
himself the fatigue and vexation of a matuti

room of his own at his country resort, and
keeps his tennis and boating togs there, his

atmosphere, where he can lounge at his ease,

I would strongly advise every German ir
the United States who has any idea of assist
ing his friends or relations from Fatherland,
to perfect his arrangements and get them
out here at once. I say this because ene of
the lirst things the new emperor is likely to
do in pursuance of his policy will be to pre
vent emigration by all the means in his des
potic power. Heis for war, and will want
them to do his fighting not alone the high
lorn dandies but the hard handed soldiers
from the plow and tho work bench. The
emperor is wild for tho grandest game in
life; he longs to hear tho earth quiver with
the thunder of the guns yes, even to hear
the bullets singing in his ears, though that is
a pleasure not often enjoyed by men in his
high station. His ancestors won fame; he,
with his lame left hand, must have like
glory, and he must have men who will sacri
fice their lives in slaughter so that he may
ride under tho Linden in triumph.
Therefore, friends and fellow citizens, you
wh'i have fathers, brothers, sons and friends
who are liable to oarry a gun, not for vator

What Makes the Difference?
When Caleb dishing died he said of life,
"It is not worth the candle," and Humboldt
cried out in despair at tho mere fragment of
cxistenco he had had. The old lady reported
recently at near 100 was "the happiest
woman alive." Another turns up in York
shire, England, 101 yea re old, e.nd is reported
as saying she "has thoroughly enjoyed her
self." "What makes the difference? Is the
tendency of learning to render us discon
tented end dissatisfied with existence? At
least life must be lived simply to bo lived in
full; and a measure of discontent always ac

Newspaper tory of the War.
An immense newspaper history of the civil
war has been compiled by Thomas S. Town
send. It is formed entirely of newspaper
cuttings, with a digest of these and index,
and comprised in more than 100 giant vol
umes, in Russia binding, each one of which
is the size of the largest bank ledger. Mr.
Townsend began his labors in lStW), and has
continued thoni ever since, having expended
twenty-six years and ?25,(XX) in tho forma
tion of such a collection of newspaper his
tory as never was attempted before, and
probably never will bo again. This collec
tion comprises everything printed relative to
the war in the leading newspapers and mag

Wlien Holler ICxplosIotis Occur.
James F. Wilson, tha chief engineer of the
Equitable building, says that it will be
noticed that most boiler explosions come,
like black coffee, right after dinner. Tta
reason for this, as he explains it, is that the
water in the boilers is in perfect readiness to
become steam, aud would le such but for the
pressure of the actual steam on top of it
When tho dinner hour is over and the men
and machines begin work again tho valves
are quickly opened, the steam rushes out and
the water suddenly becomes steam. As steam
has 1,700 times the expansion of water the
effect is an explosion. New York Sun.

TORNADO POLICIES.
The present year bids fair to be a dis
astrous one from tornadoes and wind
storms. This is fore-shadowed Ly the
number of storni3 we haye already had
the most destructive one so far this year
having occurred at 3It. Vernon, 111.,
where a large number of buildings were
destroyed or damaged. The exemption
from tornadoes last year renders their oc
currence more probable in 1SS8.
Call at our office and secure a Tor
