No state can be said to have an idea
educational system which does not prj
vide lor the education of the industi
classes The industrial classes jiiusj
have opportunities to fit themselves fox
the greatest efficiency in their chosen
work if the state does its whole duty
toward them The last few years have
seen great progress in industrial educa
tion Strange to say the opportunities
for farmers sons and daughters to
acquire an education fitting them suc
cessfully to solve the problems of farm
life have not been provided in quite a
number of states True there are agri
cultural colleges in most of the states
but before a student can be admitted to
these colleges he must have a high
school education and quite frequently
the student losses all taste for farm life
before he is prepared to edter Un
doubtedly there should be in every state
a school of agriculture to receive as
students the sons and daughters of
farmers who have completed eight grades
in the public schools Nebraska has es
tablished such a school in connection
with her state university In this school
are taught the following subjects
Algebra breeds botany chemistry
dairying economics English entomol
ogy field crops geometry histology
horticulture physiology shop work
stock judging and veterinary practice
The school is now in session but students
are still being received and it is hoped
that those who read this paragraph may
decideto avail themselves of its advan
tages this year

Must Stand Trial
The grand jury in the United States
district court has returned an indict
ment against E E Dutton of Lincoln
Dutton was arrested here and his pre
liminary was held before Commissioner
Marlay He earns his livelihood by
advertising throughout the papers that
he has a manual for teaching hypnotism
which he sells at stipulated prices
Some of his advertising matter is to
the effect that he is able to give treat
ment for diseases through mental forces
The specific charge on which he was
indicted was using the mails for the pur
pose of fraud in that he offered to teach
any person applying the means of per
forming miracles for 40 and that he
collected 10 from one or more persons
for treatment which he advertised free
Circulars which he has sent out to those
believing in him are made part of the
indictment Lincoln Journal
Eoy E Dutton was brought into fed
eral court today and gave bonds in the
sum of 2000 for his appearance to
answer to the charge of using the mails

ANCIENT UMBRELLAS
THEY FIGURED IN CHURCHES IN THE
EARLY CHRISTIAN DAYS
When First Adopted liy the Pnlillo
Tluiy Seem io Have Jleeii Lttlixecl
Solely no Stm Protectore Once nn
Attribute of DlRiilty
In the early Christian churches a
large umbrella usually hung the
priest and it is said that Woni this
custom it became one of the attributes
of cardinals appointed from basilican
churches For years the doges of
Venice carried umbrellas Gf state and
in 12SS Tope Alexander III declared
that these should be surmounted by
golden statuettes of the annunciation
Michael Morosini was the first Vene
tian layman to carry an umbrella
which consisted of a small flat square
of green stuff over which was a cop
per spiral Soon after the umbrella
was adopted by fashionable Venetian
dames According to Coryats Crudi
ties Kill the Italian umbrella was
a small canopy and was made cf leath
er extended by a series of vooden
hoops He says umbrellas were used
by horsemen who resting the handles
en the thigh as they rode bore them
so that they should minister shadow
unto them for shelter against the
scorching sun
In the Harleian manuscripts now in
the British museum there is in manu
script No G03 a crude illustration
showing the figure of a yoeman hold-
ing an umbrella over his lord which
leads me to infer that umbrellas wero
known in England even in the early
Anglo Saxon period
Beck as quoted in the Drapers Dic
tionary asserts that at the time that
Stephen usurped the crown of England
twelfth century umbrellas were in
common use among the English The
first mention of the umbrella in Eng
lish literature is in Florios World of
Wonders 1398 where it is described
as a kind of round fan or shadowing
that they use to ride with in summer
in Italy a little shade
In IGoG an umbrella was exhibited in
the Museum Tradescantianum or
Collection of Rarities Preserved at
South Lambeth Near London by John
Tradescant which was known as
one of the wonders of the ark
In the church of Cartmell in Lanca
shire England there was preserved
until a few years ago an umbrella said
to be over 300 years old which was
used chiefly to protect the host
References to the umbrella are to be
found also in Blounts Glossographia
1G74 and rhillips New Worlde of
Words 1G7S In the first the refer
ence reads Umbrello a fashion of
round and broad fans wherewith the
Indians and from them our great ones
preserve themselves from the heat of
the sun and hence any little shadow
fan or other thing wherewith the wom
en guard their faces from the sun
The second runs Umbrello a screen
against the suns heat used chiefly by
the Spaniards among whom it is known
by the name quitasole
The imaginative Dean Swift in the
Tale of a Tub 1G9G depicts Jack an
ever resourceful type making use of a
parchment copy of his fathers will as
a nightcap when he went to bed and as
an umbrella in rainy weather Did
the worthy Hanway take his cue from
this or from Kersey according to whom
the umbrella was a broad fan or
screen commonly used by women to
shelter them from rain The last ref
erence made in 1709 is the first men
tion of it as a protector from the rain
Later Bailey who in his dictionary
1737 called it a parasol defined it as
a sort of small canopy to keep off the
rain
Small light umbrellas came into
fashion among the ladies of the French
court in 1075 and these were carried
by attendants Richelet tells us that
they were made of oilcloth or leather
and had ribs of whalebone A century
later they found favor with the men
who carried red umbrellas with edges
fringed with gold lace
The precise date when Jonas Han
way who died in 1786 introduced the
umbrella into England is not recorded
in any of the encyclopedias I have at
hand but they all state that he was
popularly known as its introducer
With the Dutch as with the Indian
grandees the umbrella was first an at
tribute of dignity and well it might
be for the prices paid for them at The
Hague in IGoO ranged from 73 to 120
each The Dutch colonists who settlod
at the Cape of Good Hope were not
slow to insist on preserving the dignity
of the umbrella for Ryk van Tulbagh
governor of Cape Colony in 1732 en
acted that No one less in rank than
a junior merchant or those among the
citizens of equal rank and the wives
and daughters only of those who are or
have been members of any council
shall venture to use umbrellas and
those who are less in rank than mer
chants shall not enter the castle in fine
weather with an open umbrella
