DRESS REFORM AT HARVARD.
A Boston letter ssys: The "awful
thwe Get" young gentlemen who give tone
to Harvard University are striving to in
troduce dress reform. The traditional Co.'S
tune of long ulster, heavy cane, saucer
hat and terrier pup, which used to be the
distinguished ear-msrks OF our golden
| youth, are passing away, and tssts for
the picturesque is coming in. The Knick-
| booker Club wear kind of Zouave cos
tune, with parIaloons cut on the bias,
lovely little irilled undergarmeDts, hand
somely embroidered jacket and vest. The
Highland Fling, another college club, are
trying to introduce the traditional Scotch
| costume, suggestion very fsvOrably re-
| ceived by those who have Tor are) the

AN UNCERTAIN GAME.
The Toledo Commercial tells it this way:
1t occurred last night. Perkins discarded
one and drew. Tomlins did the same.
Both looked at their hands disappointedIy
and then gazed sadly at each other. The
chips represented 25 cents each. $50 you

temptuously. "Ralse you couple on this
layout" said TomIins, with sneer.

way. "Won't be bluffed if do have hard
luck" said Tomlins, "raise you ten."

| GARIBALDI WELL HRELED.
A letter from Rome to the New York
Times says: Now that the Radical party,
as it is called, is in power, Gen. Gsrlbaldi
has come out with letter in which be
formally accepts the donation some tue
ago made to him by Parliament. Before
this we had not positively known whether
he had accepted the gift or not. The letter
is addressed to the president of the cabinet,
with the reason given that IS his friends
are now in the direction of affairs, with
the full confidence of the sovereign, no
scruples OF conscience remain to hinder
the taking of the money voted, which will
enable him to contribute his quota TO the
Tiber improvement scheme. TIE generals
soDs by his hrst marriage have not helped
in any manner 10 put the father quite at
esse in his finances in his old age, ard
their conduct has been good deal blamed.
Accepting this lsrgess of the state, Carl
baldi will for the rest of his life be put be-
yond the need of depending for existence
upon the generosity Of his friends.
AMERICAN IMPEACHMENTs.
The Springfield MASS Union cortr:-
butes the following lesson in our history /:
There have been six impsschments by the
House OF Representatives since our gov
ern.Aent was started, of which only two
resulted in conviction S, three failed, and
that of Secretary Belknap remains yet I'M
settled. The convictions were in the cases
of Judge Humphrey, of Tennessee, i'm
| peached tor treason committed during the
ering, of the Supreme Court, irc-
peached for Incompetence, owing to inn
psIrment of mental faculties on account
of age, and removed in 1903. The failures
were In the cases OF William Blount, q
sM or from Tennessee; Judge Chase OF
Maryland, aud Andy Johnson. Bloup.
was impsached for treason in instigating
the Creeks and Cherokees TO assist the
British In capturing Louisiana territory
| from the Spsnisrds. The proceedings in
this case failed on the technical ground
that q SO lstor was not an officfr Of the
government, and Blount was expelled from
| the Senate. Chase was acquitted after
| much popular eX itement, and the circum-
stances of JohDson's acquittsl are fresh In
the popular memory. 1t will be observed
that three Of the six impeached officials
were from Tennessee.
|. A NURSERY FOR POLITICIANS.
Charles Dudley Warner writes from
Munich 70 the Hartford Courant: There Is
another institution in Munich which is toe
noteworthy to be PASSED in silence, al
though it is ret a part OF the system. This
is the Msximilianum, founded by the late
king as a sort OF nursery for statesmen
and diplomats. Beyond the Iser, at the
end OF MsximiliaD street, is erected an i'm.
posing building, not in the best taste,
| where certain number of students are
lodged and instructed ires of cost
Only these are admitted to its
privileges who have stood first In
every class from the primary school
upward. Its inmates may be, and
usually are, at the same time members OF
the university and pursuing some particu-
lar course there. The fortunate ones who
are admitted to the Msximilianum are
lodged, boarded, clothed, and have besides
a certain amount of pocket-money given
them. They have teachers In state craft,
In whatever would fit them for employ
ment In the civil service extending TO
languages and even to accomplishments
which will give them polish of manners
and fit them for the political and social
duties of diplomacy or high official life.
And after enjoying these advantages they
are not Obliged to serve the state, but
may go into private Life. In fact many OF
them do, for they are sure OF brilliant sit
uations and good pay.
