Good Housekeeping assures us that the thimble was originally called a thumb bell by the English, because worn on the thumb, then a thumble, and finally its present name. It was a Dutch invention, and. was fir-t brought to England in 1695. Thimbles were formerly made only of iron end brass, but in comparatively late years they have been made of gold, steel, horn, ivory. and even glass and pearl. In China beautiful carved pearl thimbles are seen, bound with gold, and with the end of gold. The first thimble introduced into Siam. was a bridal gift from the king to the queen; itis shaped like a lotus bud, made of gold and thickly studded with diamonds arranged to spell the queen’s name. Robert Burns. Robert Burns was a Scotchman, born in a modest cottage, near Ayr, in the year 1759; died 1796. Encouraged by his parents, he early began to acquire knowledge. Even at the plow he was composing poetry. His first volume attracted much attention, especially his ‘‘Co ter’s Saturday Night.” He was then invited to Edinburgh, and graced the literary circles there. He was the author of ‘‘Tam O’Shanter.”” Some one has said that there are four names mst loved in Scotland: William Wallace and fobert Bruce, who fought her battles, and Burns and Scott, who wrote her iste Behl So sas WEEKLY is the only| WESTERN Fireside Organ ever published It has been months only and one before its paper | Yoyo the public circulation is in Utah. only three second*to in the Territory.

But that nature is as skillful as art will be seen by the following curious discovery: Not long ago some miners were searching in the Sierra Madre mountains of Arizona for a cave, supposed to be filled with hidden treasures. As they were following an Indian trail one of them hit something hard with his pickax. On loosening the soii they discovered, not a cave filled with gold, silver and precious jewels, but an old Indian vault containing the remains of five human beings, two men, a young woman and a mother with a child 4or 5 yearsold. The bodies were in perfect preservation. The features were as distinct asin life,and the eyebrows in a natural state. The woman had long, fine, dark hair. Both men and women were wrapped in coarse, women cloth.

[t isa pretty sight to see the three elder boys salute their father, when he enters the nursery, in true military style. Prince Augustus William, who is not quite 2 years old yet, imitates his older brothers in giving the salute. When with their mother at Oberhof castle, in Thuringia, the young princes are instructed in military occupations. They have a miniature redoubt there, with two small cannons, where they play sentry go, or mimic an assault, while one of them beats the drum. ln the cut here given the three oldest boys are depicted as taking a lesson in the forming of a biyouac. Little Prince Augustus William, while too young to actually take @ share in the work, appears to be greatly interested in his brothers’ proceedings, MILITARY Indian Mummies. ny Many of our young folk have heard o read of the Egyptian mummies.
