Didn't See Any.

A stranger yesterday called upon the
Chief of Police to tell little story
When told to go ahead he pointed to his
buttonless coat and said:
eff Teller falls asleep in a saloon
and some one cuts the buttons off his
coat, is that joker"
The Chief didn't see any joke in
that; and the man pointed to his boots
and continued:
''If Teller falls asleep in saloon
and some one paints one of his boots red
and the other blue, is that joker"
The Chief looked down at the novel
"shine" and remarked that the boots
should have been tipped with white tc
make patriotic job of it.
"If Teller falls asleep in a saloon,
continued the man, land some one cuts
off half of his goatee, pours varnish into
his overcoat-pockets, and cuts a hole in
the top of his new plug hat, is that any
joker" r
The Chief said he didn't see any joke
in that; but the strangers countenance
suddenly melted, and he chuckled as il
greatly pleased as he remarked:
THE joke is on the saloon! The fools
thought that l was asleep, but wasn't
| was awake all the time-ha! ha! ha
Don't you see the joke now"
The Chief didn't see it, but the stran
ger laughed all the way out of the City
Hall and down to the gate. Fret

Fashions for Gentlemen.

THE prevailing style for general wear
is morning coat and vest from a black
or blue diagonal cloth, with fancy cassi
mere trousers of pattern adapted to
the figure of the wearer. The most
fashionable coat is made with three but
tons to button, moderately cut away in
front, of medium length in the waist and
skirt, and without flaps ON the hips.
Waistcoat single breasted, with step
collar. For trousers the principal styles
are checks over a striped ground, and
stripes or plaids over diagonal ground.
They are still cut wide to the leg, but a
tritie smaller at the knee, and a shade
wider at the bottom than formerly. In
fancy suitings for undress wear the lead
ing style of coat is single breasted sack
to button three or four buttons, but
straight in front and rounded off a little
at the bottom. Waistcoat without a
collar. The two-button morning coat
with pockets under flaps on the hips, is
also in good style, and finds much favor.
For better wear the double breasted
frock coat is the only garment in good
taste, and continues to be made from the
diagonal worsted goods. Blues rather
predominant this season, and are an
agreeable change. Silk breast facings
and fiat braid are still used where a very
smart coat is desired, but plain facings
and narrow bound edge is preferable
for ordinary wear. Satin or galloon
bindings are to be avoided. The frock
will also be very fashionable in light
colors, and this, with trousers to match,
is the costume en- regIe for Jerome Park
and similar places.
The new goods for spring overcoats
are drabs, grays, browns and dark MKT
ures of fancy worsted makes, the feather
diagonal or Mayo pattern being one of
the best. Brown kerseys and meltons in
rather light colors are also worn, and are
made with plain facings, velvet collar to
match, edges double stitched and cut very
easy to the figure, partaking of the char
acter of semi-driving coat. The worsted
goods are made up with silk facings,
either to the button-holes or front edge,
edges flat braided, and plain collar. The
Chesterfield or sack overcoat is the pre-
vaillng style, and of medium length only.
White wastcoats are made principally
double breasted, to button four buttons
and closing rather Highly. Y. EgenGng

1t may seem strange doctrine to be
advanced by a somewhat enthusiastic
farmer, but it has been a doctrine that
has been slowly accepted after many
years observation conviction that has
taken possession of an unwilling mind
that the young man who takes his young
wife to an isolated farmhouse dooms
her and himself and their children to an
unwholesome, unsatisfactory and vacant
existence-an existence marked by the
absence of those more satisfying and
more cultivating influences which the
best development of character and intelli-
gence demand. 1t is common expert
ence of farmers wives to pass week after
week without exchanging word or a
look with a single person outside of their
own family circles.
The young couple start bravely, and
with determination to struggle against
the habit of isolation which marks their
class; but this habit has grown from the
necessity of their own situation; and the
necessities of their own situation bring
them sooner or later within its bonds
During the first few years they adhere
to their resolution and 60 regularly to
church, to the lecture, and to the social
gatherings of their friends; but home
duties increase with time, and the eager
ness for society grows dull with neglect,
and those have started out with the
firmest de nation to avoid the rock
on which fathers have split give
up the STR at last and settle down
to q humdrum, uninteresting and unin-
terested performance of daily tasks.
In saying all this-and l speak from
experience, for / have led the dismal life
myself-it is hardly necessary to disclalm
the least want of appreciation of the
sterling qualities which have been de-
veloped in the American farm household.
But it may safely be insisted that these
qualities have been developed, not be.
cause of the American mode of farm life,
but in spite of it; and as think over the
long list of admirable men and women
whose acquaintance | have formed on
distant and solitary farms, am more
and more impressed with certain short
comings which would have been avoided
under better social conditions. If any
of these is disposed to question the
Justice of this conclusion, am satisfied
to leave the final decision with his own
judgment, formed after fair consid-
Grafton of what is herein suggested.
If American agriculture has an unsatis-
fed need, it is surely the need for more
intelligence and more enterprising inter-
est on the part of its working men and
women. From one end of the land to
the other, its crying defect recognized
by all-is that its best blood-or, in other
words, its best brains and its best energy
lis leaving it to seek other fields Of
labor. The influences which lead the
best of the farmers sons to other occu.
pations is not so much the desire to make
more money, or to find less laborious
occupation, as it is desired to lead a
more satisfactory life-a life where that
part of us which has been developed by
the better education and better civiliza.
