How WOMAN Tries ON New
SHoEs.-When a woman has a new
pair of shoes sent home she performs al
together different from a man. She
never shoves hertoes into them and pulls
and hauls until she is red in the face
and all out Of breath and then goes
stamping and kicking around, but pulls
them on part way carefully, twitches
them again to take last look and see
If she has got the right one, pulls them
on again, looks at them dreamily, says
they are Just right, then takes another
look, stops suddenly TO smooth out a
wrinkle, twists around and surveying
them sideways, exclaims, "Mercy how
loose they are % looks at them again
square in front, works her foot around
so they won't hurt her quite so much,
takes them of, looks at the heel, the
toe, the bottom and the inside, puts
them on again, walks up and down the
room once or twice, remarks TO her bet
ter half that she won't have them at any
price, Tits down the mirror so she can
see how they look, turns in every pos
sible direction and nearly d:slocates her
neck trying to see how they look from
that way, backs of, steps up again,
takes thirty or forty farewell looks, says
they make her feet look awful big and
never will do in the world. puts them
of and on three or four times more,
asks her husband what he thinks about
IT and then pays no attention 70 what he
says, goes through IL all again and final
ly says she will take them. It's a very
simple matter, indeed.

The MARQUIS OF LoRSE.-For six
generations, from the thirteenth 10 the
fifteenth century, the head of this fa-
nous Campbell family received the
honor of knighthood as a matter Of
course. In 1445 Sir Duncan was cre-
ated Lord Campbell, and his grandson
was made an Earl under the distinction
OF Earl of Argyle and Lord of LoTne.
In 1641 the eighth Earl was made q
Marquis by King Charles under pecu-
liar circumstances. He had fought
against The King and his allies, and as
late as 1910 had marched against the
Earl Of Athol, who was in arms for the
King. Yet, in 1641, when the King
visited Edinburgh he sent for his foe
man and made him Marquis. In 1901
the tenth Earl was made Duke Of Ar
gyle, Marquis Of Lorne and KintyTe,
Earl Campbell and Cowal, Viscount
LOchow and GIenilla, Baron inverary,
Null. MoFven and TRY. A man, one
would think, might find it difficult 10
carry more titles than these; but the
second Duke, in addition to his heredi-
tary title Of Argyle, was created Baron
Chatham, Earl OF Greenwich, and Duke
Of Greenwich. His brother, who sue
cesded him, was raised 10 the peeTsge
before he came 10 the ducal honors. by
the titles Of Viscount and Earl Of lsla
and Baron Oronsay, Dunoon and Av-
rose. The flth Duke was made Baron
Sunbridge in bis fathers lifetime; while
the sixth Duke, before coming into the
chief honors Of the family. sat in the
House of Lords as Baron Hamilton.
The younger branches Of the family
have also had honors and distinctions
showered upon them. They have borne
the titles of Earl Of AthOl, Earl Of Lon
don, Baron Clyde, Baron Kintyre, Ba-
ron Campbell. Baron Stratheden, etc.
The chiefs have been decorated with
the Garter and the Thistle. They have
exercised as much influence IN English
affairs Is in Scotch. They have SET up
and ogerthrowB kings: IL they have
never sat on the throne, they have car
ried the crown at corOnations: they
have been great in The Senate and the
Geld. One Argyle fell at HslidOn Hill;
another breatbed bis last at Flodden
Field.

CosruxR IN CHARIEs If's REfGS.--
The costume Of gentlemen underwent
rapid and various metamorphoses IN
Charles It's time. From the rich and
elegant costumes OF Charles |. il degen-
Grated first into one with an exceeding
ly short doublet, without any Under
waistcoat. loose petticoat bFeeches,
with long dropping lace rufies at the
knee. This costume, however, still re-
tanned much of the Vandyke style. II
had the high-crowned hat and plume Of
feathers. the falling lace collar, and the
natural hair. Bot soon came the mon
strous peruke. or periwig, as il was cor
Fupted 10 in England, copied from the
Eastion 5F the court q Louis XIV.
which superseded TIE natural hait ih
both men and women, the women hav-
ing sdopted it first. Then speedily fol-
lowed the square, long coat, and mon
strous jack-boots, and cooked hat, which
became the general dress Of the next
century. False hair had been worn by
both sexes in the times OF Elizabeth and
Jam es l., but never to the same prepos-
ferrous extent as at present. Charles
H., though adopting The periwig fashion
himself, and thus confirming it, yet re-
fused to allow the clergy 10 use IL. He
wrote letter to the University Of Cam
bridge, ordering the clergy neither TO
wear periwigs, smoke tobacco, nor read
their sermons; and, on a fellow Of Clare
Hall venturing 10 preach before him in
q wig and holland sleeves, he ordered
the statutes concerning deceney Of ap-
parel to be put in force against him
and similar offenders. The periwig did
not accord well with the high-crowned
hat or broad.leafed sombrero Of Spain,
and the crown was suddenly lowered,
the brim turned up. and droopng
feather turned backwards overit. The
petticoat breeches came in as early as
1868; and in the following year Randall
Holmes thus describes a gentleman q
dress: "a short-waisted doublet and
petticoat breeches, the lining being low
er than the breeches, is tied above the
knees; the breeches are ornamented
with ribands up TO the pocket, and hall
their breadth upon the thigh. The
waistcoat is set around with ribands
and the shirt hanging out over them. "
These petticoat breeches soon grew into
actual skirts, and the doublet, or jacket
which, at the beginning Of the reign
scarcely came below the breast, towards
the end OF it was so elongated that i
was an actual coat, and had buttons anC
button-holes all down the front. In The
earlier part Of his Transformation we see
Charles and courtier represented in {
print of Faithorn's; in the latter perioC
we see the figures in the print of the
funeral Of General Monk, with the long
flowing periwigs, and little, fiat, mar
row-brimmed hats, like our sailors
glazed hats, stuck upon them.-Cds

EARLY RIsING.--It cannot be denied
that early rising is conducive both tC
the health OF the body and the improve
ment of the mind. IL was an observa-
ton OF Swift that he never knew any
man to come to greatness and eminence
who lay in bed of a morning. Though
this observation of an Individual is not
received as q universal maxim, IL is
certain that some of the most eminent
characters which ever lived accustomed
themselves to early rising. II seems
also, that the people in general rose ear
lier than they do now. In the fourteenth
century the shops in Paris were opened
al four in the morning: at present a
shopkeeper - scarcely awake at SIX.
The King Of France dined at eight in
the morning. and retired at eight in the
evening. During the reign OF Henry
VIII. fashionable people in England
breakfasted at seven in the morning,
and dlned at ten in the forenoon. In
Elizabeth's time, The nobility, gentry,
and students dined AZ eleven in the fore
noon, and supped between Eve and six
in the afternoon.

man, what did you say in speech in
the Senate, February q, 1868:
81 said that equity and justice were
amply satisfied If We redeemed these
bonds at maturity, IN the same kind ot
money, Of the same intrinsic value il
bore at the time they were issued.
al said that gentlemen may reason
about the matter over and over again,
and they cannot come 10 any other con-
clusion; at least, that has been my con-
clusion after the most careful delibera-
TONS"
Let Us call Hon. Garrett Davis:
ITO guarantee or give a pledge on
the part of the United States that the
bonds shall be paid in gold and silver,
makes difference in the interest bear
ing bonds of upward of $3.50, 900, 900.
ait is RoBBERYs II is iniquity for
this Congress 10 make the people Of the
United States pay $500. 900, 600 more
than by equity and law they are bound
to pay"
