about them in bands or strips of cloth similarir applied after the discovery of the textile art. It in hard to imagine the time when gloves, in the general sense or even having something of the modern form, were not worn. They are seen la the figures on the most ancient monuments. They were worn by the ancient Greeks. Roman ladies covered the hand with narrow bands of fine cloth. When the Romans invaded Central and Northern Europe they found the tribes of Gaul and Germany using them as a means of protecting the hands from the cold.

It is etiquette not to appear gloved in the presence of superiors or in polite society. A thousand years ago it was considered disrespectful to enter the presence of others with the hands covered, as in different times and in different countries it has been thought necessary or reverential to bare the feet or the head in entering public, and especially sacred, places. The Arabs bare the feet before entering a mosque. Among Western nations men are now content to uncover the head as a sign of respect or reverence. It is 'the more CORvenient. When Christianity appeared among the Gauls it was found difficult to induce the new converts to remove their gloves before entering a church. To compet this sign of respect the clergy inculcated the belief that if the gloves were not taken off an offended Deity would cause them to grow to the hands so closely that fifteen days' incessant' prayer would be necessary to remove them. Persons taking orders were required to give up

excellent perfume," or "as sweet as damask ro es. In the play of “Coriolanus" Roman ladies are made to fing gloves on the hero, a manifest anachronism, as they were then neither of a form nor in such abundance as to render such a sentimental act possible. When hawking. as fashionable the bids was carried on the band, which rendered the glove necessary to protect it. The forbidding of any person to enter the royal stables in Franco with gloves on seems to have been based on a general preju- dice mentioned by Chambers that regarded it as unhealthy for the reasons are unknown,

France still monopolizes the trade in fine gloves, which are made at Paris, and at Grenoble to the department of Savoy Kid" gloves are made to a certain extent in large American cities. English dogskin gloves are made of the skins of sheep of the Cape of Good Hope. Gloves made of kid-skin or ratskin are the softest and most pliable, but they are rare. Those made of sheepskin pared down are not strong. The glove industry in the United Sales is im- portant. Nearly half of those made in this country are from Gloverville, New York.-5. F. Chronicle.

Judges were forbidden to wear gloves when in the exercise of their duties. Sometimes vassals were required to make an- nually a certain number of pairs of gloves for noblemen or bishops. This come in time to be commuted for a sum of money, which corres ponded to what has since been called "pin- money." To remove the glove and throw it on the ground in the presence of another was a defiance, a medieval custom that has stirred the imagination of every school-boy who has read the plays of Shakespeare, the poems of Scott or romances whose scene was laid in the Mildle Ages.

The glove during the Dark Ages was little more than a small anck, in which the band was inserted for warmth. Sometimes these sacks were attached to the outer garment, which gave origin to the pocket, Then, as the clumsy form rendered the hand helpless, an opening was left for the thumb, which was soon akerward covered with a separate piece of the same material.

to be partially inferred, for, the glove being made of perishable material, like the shoe, to be soon worn out and thrown away, the museums of antiquities have preserved few specimens. The mailed glove was more durable, and is seen in all collections of old armor. Glove-making constituted one of the oldest trades mentioned in the records of the Middle Ages. It did not include the making of gauntlets, which fell naturally to the armorers, though the ald of the glover may have been necessary sometimes to add the softer material that lightened the pressure of the steel on the band. The phrase in Shakespeare, "A scaly gaunilet now must glove this hand," would indi cate that in Elizabeth's time the mailed glove entirely replaced that worn in times of peace.

Over all this historic ground, whose main points have only been mentioned in a general curious antiquarians have gone very care fully. In their opinion the Chaldeans wore gloves. From the fact that Xenophon speaks of the Persians as not only covering their hands,
