TEIMBLES AND FIRE SEOVELS
The thlmble and the fire shovel
started on their travels some three
to four thousand years ago.
Since he most remote ages, the
thlmble and the fire shovels have
been symbols of the home.
When women of the American
frontier wanted a. thlmble or a fire
shovel they often were forced to use
rawhide or a. piece or heavy cloth to
protect their sewing finger, or a
piece of wood for s. shovel. Theirs
was the practice of the women of;
old. points out the National Forelgn
Trade Council.
Today there are some hundred
and odd million thimbles ln Amerl-
can homes. The hearth fire shovel
has all but gone. The older and tin-
er makes are being sought after as
antiques. and preserved for the same
reason that are the splendid fire
shovels of the Mycenaean Age. made
some thousand years before the
Christian Era. We make snow shov-
els, and coal shovels. and steam
shovels. by the ton, but fewer hearth
shovels.
Important as the article is the
making of thlrnblee has always been
a. plgmy among the Industries. In-
dustrial history has played hide-
endseek with it. Its making has
always been something of a. mys-
tery. It is known that since the
earliest times there have been thlm-
bias of silver. gold, ivory. porcelain.

about all. The women or the an-

These old thlinbles had dents in
which to catch the needle, but no
tops. The word thlinble is an ab-
breviation of "thumb-bell."

and fanciful phrasing; as “It is
sweet to be remembered.“ “Love me
always and truly."
In 1695, a Hollander took the
thlmble to England. and made ‘a
fortune selling it as a. novelty.
It once took twenty men to make
the thlmble. Now the cheaper- forms
are made by machinery. in big lot:
like cartridges, and milled by a
hand tool.

ARTS AND SCIENCE.
On the comparative merit of the
ancients and the modems In the
arts. in poetry. eloquence and all
imagination.
there is widely divergent opinion.
In the realm o! solstice, however.
there is no doubt about it; the mod?
erns have emlnently the advantage.
It could not be otherwise.
Why? William H. Prescott, in
his extraordinary history of 111:: cou-
quest of Peru (Chapter 1,3001: 2.)
gives an explanation:
“In the early ages of the world.
as in the early period of life. uni-e

lstence, when the gloss of noyelty
was in everything that met the eye:
when the senses. ,

ple ,was' necessarily connected with

begun to seek for stimulants in tho

"The realms of fancy were all un-
travelled. and lts fairest flowers had
not been gathered. nor lta beauties

who affected to cultivate them. The
wing of genius was not bound, to
earth by.the cold. conventional rule:
of criticism, but was permitted to
take its flight far and wide over the
broad expanse of creatlon. 7
"But with science it was otherwise.
No genius could suffice for the cream
Lion of facts-hardly for their de-
tection. They were to be gathered
by painful industry: to be collected
from careful observations and ex-
periment.
