Dressing and diplomacy.


The Pail Mall Gazette of September
9th says;
Ladies and others who take an inter-
est in variations OF costume will pick
up some useful hints by studying the
proceedings of the thfee Emperors at
Berlin. Seldom, indeed, have three sis
ters in one family displayed such inge-
nuity in this respect as that exhibited
by their Majesties at the great court din
ner served in the White Hall on Satur-
day evening. The Emperor OF Austria,
says the telegram, wore Russian uni
form and Prussian order, the Emperor
Alexander Prussian uniform and an
Austrian order, and the Emperor Will
liam an Austrian uniform with the Rus
sian order of st. Andrew. No two En-
perors, it will be observed, were dressed
alike, and all three had dipped into each
Others wardrobe Probably we shall
next hear of the Emperor OF Austria in
a Prussian uniform with Russian Or
der, the Emperor Alexander in an Aus
trian uniform with Prussian order, and
the Emperor William in a Russian uni
form with an Austrian order. IL would
require fatiguing amount Of arithmet-
ical knowledge to calculate the various
changes their Msjesties will be able to
ring on the common wardrobes they
have thus pleasantly established. but we
may take it for granted that this inter
change of clothing augurs well for the
peace of Europe; at all events, it is quite
impossible that war could be declared
until each Emperor had retired to his
own dressing-room and put on his proper
habiliments. A sudden appeal to arms
when the Emperors were dressed in the
wrong uniforms would lead to such seri-
Gus complications that even Prince Bis
marck himself would shrink from ere
ating the conhagration.

Rvery Man a Fish.

An ingenious Frenchman has in.
vented species Of artificial fins, by the
aid of which the swimmer can walk IN
the water with comparative ease 1t is
rather strange that Of late years invent.
ors desirous Of enlarging the sphere OF
mans locomotion have confined their
attention almost exclusively to the air.
They have seemed bent upos making
man a poor sort of bird, when it would
have been much easier TO make him a
successful fsh. Water being much
denser element than air, it follows that
it presents fewer difficulties to the man
who desires TO become amphibious than
are presented by the thin air to him who
desires to fly. Why should not man be
enabled to walk or run on the water as
easily as he does on the land? How to
make this possible is problem which
inventors might proftably undertake to
solve, and it would seem as though they
would be far more likely to succeed in
such an effort than in the oiten-tried at
tempt to make balloons or artificial
wings of any practical value.
