Title usage survives today hi the dog collars which are placed upon household pet*. ; The iioclil.w, however, could for many X anly he worn by the freeman. In live states of society. It was the badge of the warrior and was often inode of some distinctive spoil of tho chu.su or ’ of war. To lids day ono of the most roluablo and coveted possessions of tho western Indian is the necklace of grimly bears' claws, a proof that ho lias met and conquered tho gray terror of tho moun tains. Among tho Tartars of the time of the Genghis Kltnn tho necklace woe often made of human teeth, strung upon wire. This particular form of ornament is found in South America In the grovos of the Indians. Tho earliest known form of necklace outside of such primitive types as shells and bits of colored stone comes from Egypt. They wero of two kinds—orna mental and what may be called, for the look of a better word, superstitious. The former wore composed of small stones, of whloh blue was apparently tho fnvorlto color, Set In silver or gold and joined to gether in a chain. The latter, the amu lets, were mode of figures of gods, from three to seven incites long. Three or four of these wero hung In a chain of Collateral Hrcarllj.

' Sometimes these amulets hod no gods on them, but were composed of cowries or lilts of stone arranged In tho forms of locked horns, fish or cres cents, emlileniatio of their supposed powers, This .uporstitloua power of the necklace it widely spread today among people who are not very high In civiliza tion. In South America there ore found necklaces of a peculiarly .marked seed whloh belongs to a plant growing only on tho mountains, along tho snow line. These seeds whon first gathered ore blue in color, lin'd are strung op strings. They are htghly valued, not only for their beauty but because of the great difficulty In obtaining them. In the old graves, which are found now and theu, strings of IhuSu seeds ara often discovered, and they nre supposed to bring the greatest possible luok, eepoclally to children. But one does not have to go among tho peonaof South Amerioa or tho negroes of Africa with tholr geo gee necklaces to find evldenoo of superstition. Thousands of peoplo place neoklacos of ooral beads around the nooks of babies with the be lief that they, will assist tha children in teething, and there are many persons who wear neoklaces all the time, think ing that they bring luok. The southern negroes constantly wear theUr bead neck- loose, looking upon them oe genuine cherms, and they an vory. particular about keeping them intact, holding that the charm is broken if even the relative positions of the beads ehould be altered when wear make* a new string neocA- /raopg men who havo worn tho nook- laoe must be rankod the warriors of an cient times. The gold torques of tho Celts, the massive gold neoklaces of tho Modes, Etruscans and Egyptians, which formed tho most valued insignia of the warrior class, have oomo down to us through the pictures in tho tombs and the aotual specimens in tho tombe them selves. Some of those wero enormously costly. Thoy wero bestowed as rewards of valor and aa marks of olvlo distinc tion. The latter survivo today in the gold ohaine of offloe worn by the mayore of oitiee in tho old world. All orders of knighthood had tho neck- lace or collar as a principal inslgnium, and this custom of decoration with the nooklaoo dntes book at least as far as the timo of Joseph, for as a mark of his an thority in Egypt, Pharaoh “put a gold chain about his nook." The women of antiquity rarely wore them except aa brides, when to mark tho rcspoct in which thoy were held necklaces were placed upon them. Tho necklace, how ever, was n prominent adornment' of the ■tatuee of the gods. Tho ornament of the necklace was so valued that when the Saxon dynasty was overthrown by tlio Normans all persons below a certain rank were forbidden to wonr tlieiii under heavy penalties. In the reign of Henry VIII, that king cele brated both for his wives and his revolt against Rome, any 011s who had not £200 per year income could not wear a neck lace. In England nmher has always been one of the favorite materials for the neckhice. Even hi the barrows of the early Britain* amber heads nro found, and the »i*vi:ncns of necklaces from tho reign of Charles I have amber set in gold, i'ho Puritans abolished them ns they abolished everything they laid their bunds on which savored of ornament, hut tho necklace was revived again under tlip merry monarch more oxtravngontly then .before.—New York Press.

Are .you right sure Hr. Stevens ft rfins a warehouse now? Congressman Tom Watson was a lawyer, we aU,jcnow, but he sold his law books and has been apparently trying to forget aM the law he knew, slnoe he beoame qn Al liance candidate, and if the Democrat will take the pains to inform itself we think it will find that Mr. Steveris lias adopted a somewhat similar -^jiurse with his warehouse business—s#ld it, hired it out, or something of the .kind to get rid of it. Maybe the Dk*wson News can tell us just how it is. T* It seems that the Alliace of ^forth Carolina has virtually gone Intfli the Third Party. L. L.
