Tiie Horse Guards.
The3Candler Horse Guards have re
ceived their uniforms from the state
and this now completes their equip
ment, their other paraphernelia having
arrived some days ago. They now have
regular drills and are getting in shape
to do the state the best service. The
boys make a very striking appearance
in their new uniforms and with their
elaborate equipment they are ready
to go up against the real thing.
Edward VII Thajiks Carolinians
Columbia, S. C., May 16.—The
South Carolina legislature was
criticised in some quarters last
February for passing resolutions
of sympathy on the death of her
majesty Queen Victoria. But now
the British king has made proper
acknowledgment, and the oppo
nents of the action will probably
be pacified. Ambassador Choate
transmits to Governor McSweeney
a note from Lord Lansdowne, stat
ing that the resolutions have been
laid before the king, and his
majesty has requested the ambas
sador to convey to the representa
tives and senators of South Car-
olina his sincere thanks for their
appreciated message of sympathy
in the great loss which has been
sustained by his majesty, his roy
al house, and the whole British
empire.

Nobody knows who first invented
beads. Perhaps it was some primitive
avage who found nuts or oak balls
a the forest, drilled by the wood worm,
iad threaded them together on a stalk
-y --T grass. Anything and everything
vith a hole in it served at the begin-
!ng for beads—cowrie shells, fist
ceth, claws of beasts, striped and
potted seeds and the like. But the
reat age of beads began with the in-
ention of glass, and the Egyptians,
artliaginians and Phoenicians gener-
dy were skilled craftsmen at bead-
k - inking. Their methods were much

Once upon a time a Young Person,

or shall I trim my own hat and thus
make myself jook like 30 cents?”
As the Shrewd Reader will doubtless
have conjectured, the Upshot of the
matter was that the Young Person pur
