In the most ancient period of history, the bracelet was an ensign of In later times It has been royalty. used In the East as a badge, of power. The bracelet of Rebecca (mentioned In Genesis) weighed 10 shekels, or about five ounces. Among the ancient Romans the men as well as the women wore bracelets, but the latter never wore them till they were betrothed. Bracelets were at first properly military ornaments, or rewards, frequently conferred among the ancients, by generals and prlnees, on those who behaved gallantly In fight. They became afterward arbitrary decorations, assumed at pleasure. The emblems," says Fosbroke, of supreme authority among the British kings were golden bands worn round the neck, arms and knees. Ornamented bracelets of brass have been found round the arms of skeletons In British barrows." Tho northern people used to swear on their bracelets to render contracts more Inviolable. Fvrbnr."

It always costs more to establish any kind of work than you estimate from the architects drawings or from tho preliminary sketches. From the sales of produce and contributions we have supplemented our Income, and have gotten along very nicely. The average monthly cost per man at the farm is $30.88, but none of the men have been required to pay over $25 per month. Through the generosity of friends and sales of produce we have been able to keep our heads above water. There is a very sympathetic touch, and a very dee; sympathy with our movement in all the associations throughout the country." The work In the orchard and garden Is all done by the residents, who are paid for their labor. From the fresh garden the table is supplied vegetables In season, the surplus fruits and vegetables being sent to market.

No general system ot paternalism has so far commended itself to practical workers In this lino.
