There was a panic of a curious origin aiioiu the beginning of the eleventh century. It was widely believed tliut the year 1'f'o would Tvltne. s the emi ol the world, nnd this . uperstition caused e very general stagnation of Industry hiki commerce. Sticb panics have oc- curred at Irregular intervals ever since, the last one being within the memory ef the present generation and Inspire I by Mother Shlpton's prophecy: Th< world to an end shall corn Iri eighteen Imndr^d eighty-one. However, n* soon ns people became convinced tbat the -world was not real- ' ly going to come I" an end in the year 1000, they resumed their -work and play, aiul the making of lamps nu I candlesticks, like other manufactures, entered upon an era of prosperity. Monasteries were famous BCboOls I'm thi-- work, as for all other forms of handicraft, and paid peculiar attei to the beautifying of lamps and can dlesticks bocanse of their usefulne_ in church services. During the elevei century Dlnant, In Belgium, b ��� fait, ms for Its copper work, and ��� of the mr.-t iiis.utifui chandler. this period were made there.

Our ancestors wei'e very practical people, and If some of their utensils appear to us somewhat singi Iar it is because we do not under : -land tbe purpose for which they wore used It is rare indeed to find ii'iy cumbersome addition to a lamp or candlestick which has not Its use The old time silversmiths and copper work ������rs ditl not spend their strength <>i: . mere decoration. The scone, arid the lantern were iu general use throughout the middle ages. The Rconce was a light covered nnd guarded from the wind, lifted down by fl handle, and distinct from the lantern, sen Ing somewhat ihc same purpose, bul hung by a chain. Lanterns In the thirteenth century were made nf gold, sliver, copper or iron, according to the means of lhe owner The light In them was shiei I- Pd from the wind by thin sheets of horn. Lantern n aklng was nn Imp tr- i tnnt In lnstry In Paris. At this time, too. noblemen nnd rich merchants took to having luxurious little traveling equipments made fur them, and among these were travel iir candlesticks and wash basins In tai. fine enameled work, the secret i f j which is now lost. I The custom of having servants ,- ! flambeaus at festivals also beenr. . i general about this time, and a strio ��������� j and tragic Incident Is connected wiih this fashion. At a ball given Uv Charles VI, the torches carried by ' some careless servants came too nev the headdresses of certain perso is dressed as savages and set them ox I ('re. The unfortunate guests v >v> burned to death, mid the king at 11 slcht lost his reason, a madness whh li , had a serious effect on the history of I France. Magic lanterns were Invented in the time Of King Francis I. A device on n somewhat similar plan was used as n sign before shop doors to attract cu torn. Lamps fell Into disfavor at the 1 ning of the seventeenth centurj were used only by the poor and in . sages and stables where the i could evaporate and a great ilea ���-. light was needed.

It ls one of the handiest of coins, being about ns small as a silver pie.e can conveniently be. Being less in s'ze and weight than the nickel, which is worth only half as much, it is vastly more convenient to keep and hoard, and tbat is one reason why It is becoming extraordinarily scarce In spite of the fact that more dimes are now turned out of the mints than ever before ia tbe country's history.

The beautiful but venomol- amanita family. B.n.,,,1, ,|10 rioimlnK Exterior .rt Thi�� H��i 11 in,, t lumtn. Lnrka i, Vicinal Poison Tlmi l. Fatal <���> .:.- _.--��������, ..r Urn ami < niilo. Iii the dark shade of lofty pine trees and under spreading oaks iu mon open woods a mushroom in found ne remarkable In color and graceful lu form that Uh beauty has excited n I miration for hundreds of yearn. The color of its bright orange cap an.l It chalk white stem nnd gills ls heighl ened by the surrounding darkness 01 thc woods nud presents a contrast n< singular as it Is beautiful. But beneath the pleasing exterior ol this brilliant fungus a poison lurks sn fatal to the lives of men and cattle tbat it is called the deadly amanita and In different countries mothers can tlon their children to beware of Ifx charms. Amanita muscarla, the deadly, - fly, amanita, is completely Incased i a fleece-like covering during the earl; stages of its growth, whicb make:, decidedly egg shaped in form A the stem lengthens this covering eitli - adheres tn loose patches to the top the cap or it slips away and forms a Bheathing to the cup at the base of th stem, Another inner covering breaks away iu ii - turn from the cap us the mu sb room expands nnd forms n conspieuoni collar about the upper pari of tin stem. The bulbous base of the ��� n and these ruptured, fleecy covering; are pronounced characteristics wliii i are most helpful In distinguishing this dangerous fungus from the other varie ties of mushrooms. It ls strong, free from pests an grows to a height Irom lour to sis: Inches. In color tlie cap is sometlm >��� bright scarlet, again orange or yellow or reddish In the center and I it. h t yei low toward the edges, and It bus n i ticeable wart like patches spread ova: the top, On old plants the color fiid >s out, nnd late ln the season particularly forms of the deadly amanita are loiin I whicli are almost white. The stem i easily separated from the cup nt li ��� base. This mushroom is more general!, known than any of the other poison ous species. It lias long been used ;i ��� a fly poison in |-ur>pc, tiad II take., ita name, muscarla, from the I. itin wom for a fly. Its p ilsonous effect upon human beings begins a few hours aftei it has been eaten. The symptoms are nausea nnd faintness, with cold perspiration aud stupor, followed lu se vere cases by death, from a gradual weakening of the heart, A strong emetic should be given at once, and in all cases a physician should bo called. Sulphate of atropln Is the only known chemical antidote for this poison,'and to save the pat leu' It must be promptly administered by hypodermic injections. Tbe poison may also be absorbed through the pores of the skin, and bad cases of poisoning have been produced by simply holding an amanita In the closed liiiiid or breathing Its exhalations Iii ii warm room. If poisonous mushrooms ure packed lu the same box with edible ones tbe virus from the poisonous fungi is absorbed by the harmless mushrooms, and they become as dangerous to ent as tbe origiual offenders. In certain countries the deadly amn uita seems to lose some of its vlrulen- cy, and In the north of Russia an 1 parts of northeastern Asia it is used lu the same ma mier as wine for its lv toxicatlng effects. The mushrooms iii gathered lu hot weather and are lm.i: un iii the air t.i I'.rv or I'.'.'.v are son'.'.' times picked fresh and put Into sou i or sauces. A small amount swallowed whole Is enough to produce a day's intoxication. Another fatally dangerous meml t of the nmanltn family is the deal i cup (Amanita pbaUoldes), a beaiiti,' I mushroom which .-ilso grows in the woods, especially in pine forests. Hi. not so highly colored ns the deadly amanita. nnd, unlike that mushroom, it has a smooth, satiny cnp. It is usually white or straw colored^ but spec: mens are found which are light brown, freon, yellow and spotted. The stem ta white and nearly smooth, and tha cup at tbe base of tbe stem ls Invari i bly present. The death cup is even more poison ous than the deadly amanita aud stands first among all noxious funs;' for Its poisonous qualities. It grows In the eastern and middle states at: I In particularly large quantities near the city of Washington. Another amanita (Amanita vermis), found In the woods In spring, Is nlso very poisonous and may be told ly Its color, which is a creamy whits throughout. Although lt is said thnt tbe amani' is are the only mushrooms which bave proved fatal to human life, there ine other varieties wblch cause such acute distress that lt ls well to guard again*! eating tbem. The boleti, for Instance, have severu varieties which are nonedible, altho I - many kinds, on the other band. i. delicious food. The boleti are distil gulsbed by a sponge-like surface ol poros Instead of gills beneath the c; ��� The harmful varieties are bitter, as i rule, and change color to blue or r ��� i when cut or broken. The edible vane ties remain white.���Annie Oakes Il'iin burton in Youth's Companion, The Orlgrln of s.iirar. Sugar has been known since the dawn of history, but not In all countries. The Chinese appear to have delighted theil palates with sugar for more than 3,000 years, and it was known in India earlier than In Europe, being made from a juicy reed or cane. One of Alexander the Great's generals carried sugar to Oreoce In the year 325 B. O., ns Sir Walter Raleigh some 2,000 years later carried tobacco from Virginia to Knf- land. But even so late as 150 A. D. sugar was still a rarity in Greece. The famous physician Galen used lt as a remedy for certain maladies. Recent experiments show that sugar fias remarkable sustaining power when eaten by those undergoing great fatigue. Tbe Invention of the first process for refining sugar Is ascribed to the Arabs, not a Venetian merchant Is said to have purchased the secret from them and [ Introduced the process in Sicily. The refining of sugar was first practiced _!��� England about 1059. .. eix-.. -(.ni nnnavai _ i. 11 a, .. M at ��������-' \ Crystal patace wbeu Mme. Albanl was i once singing the "French Partridge."
