Our Form of Dress.

How did we come to possess our pres ent form of dress? This is one of the many questions answered by reviewer in the Nature. Clothing at first was almost entirely ornamental. The ex- captions were such articles as belts from which instruments of various kinds could be suspended so as to be ready for use while the hands were left free. A savage does not enjoy the luxury of pocket. Even at the present day Japanese has to sling his tobacco pipe and pouch from his belt, and the only pockets he has are in his sleeves. The simple cineture was the germ, so to speak, of the clothing we wear. After some time bunch of pan danus slips was added in front, and this was a complete fringe around the body. When the arts become so far advanced that a man could make paper cloth of some woven material, these latter substi- tuted for the primitive fringe, and the kilt was thus developed. Curiously enough the dress of the Scottish High landers embodies these two stages of progress in the kilt and the sporan. As man advanced there were inconvenien- ces attending the use of the kilt, which were abated by fastening that garment at one point between the legs, and the human mind was then fairly set upon the path to arrive at the attainment of pair of trousers. When the back and shoulders needed protection, the savage used the skin of some animal, and it is from this sort of covering for the upper part of the body that we have derived our coats, vests, shirts, etc. But the ancient cloak form is even yet retained. not only by such people as Zulu chiefs, but in all robes ofceremony by dignit- aries of court and college of the most highly civilized nations on the face of the earth. The elaborate and varied headscoverings of the present day all sprang from a very simple, original type.

THE hound is one of the fastest run ming dogs, and, not being impeded in a heavy body, possesses great endurance. An evidence of this was shown the other day by hound belonging to Mir. J. A. Ford, of Battle Creek, Mich. It's owner was stopping at village six miles from the above place, and getting on the cars with the intention of returning home, did not notice the absence of the dog. He soon saw the hound, however, follow ing the train, which at that time was running at the rate of eighteen miles an hour. The animal reached home few minutes after the train, having accom- plished the six miles in thirty minutes. --G Exchange. tE..T

that they had run away from their home in

morning on a canal boat. Their names they gave
as Charles and Howard Sands. Charles is fifteen
and Howard fourteen. The boys We're taken to

that they had run away from home because their

police authorities of course expected to get re-
ply expressing great delight at the finding of the
missing children; but, much to their surprise
when due time had elapsed. they received the fol-
lowing reply from Sands: Il did not send them
away, and viii not send for them The stories of
extreme cruelty told by the boys had been dis
credited, but they believed after the receipt
ofths message In all the police annals few H.
stances can be found where a parent has shown
such utter Indifference regarding the fate of his
children. The boys were made comfortable as
possible at Police Headquarters until some ar

The Cornell Crew a,.., the Henley Regatta.

LONDON, May 3l.-Ihe Ddity 1CtSgFupR
this morning says: 'At first sight the act of the
stewards of the Henley Regatta, which is to come
off on Thursday and Friday, June 50 and July 81,
in the case of the Cornell University crew. appears
harsh; but it must be remembered that the Henley
Regatta authorities acting strictly according to
their rules, with which intending competitors are
not unreasonably supposed TO be acquainted. The
entry of the Cornell crew may be finally accepted,
but this would be done merely as concession
to International courtesy. The necessity for rule
regarding foreign entries became evident in 1878,
when very great doubt was felt as to the clgibi-
ity of some of the American party. Everything
seen of or heard about the ShoeWaecaemetts
strengthened the belief that they were not prop
erly qualified as amateurs, according to English
notions and rules, while G. ". Lee, who rowed
with T. C. Edwards Moss, of Eaton and Oxford, re-
spectiyely contested money stake; soon after his
return to America, and has since taken part in
sundry professional matches. These occurrences sled
the committee to the reasonable conclusion that
foreign entries demand more attention than ma
tive Ones whose position generally be at once
ascertained ana they fixed the first of March a
limit for entries.

response to a complaint made by some lady mcm-
berS of the society, Investigated the treatment of
the birds in Mr.. Bishops bird show. The COM
plant was made regarding birds that were kept in
a window exposed to the sun without water This
Mr.. Bishop tried to remedy. Complaint was also
made concerning revolving perch, which it is
thought, is cruel in lis effects. Mr.. Bishop
agreed to furnish the cages, also, with
stationary perches. The agent also called at
the stables of the Herdic Cab Company. The
superintendent was requested to have the cabs
walked up the Fifteenth street hill during the
heated part of the day. The superintendent de-
clined to give any satisfactory reply. The agent
says that he will send an official notice to the
company and If it is not complied with the drivers
ofthe different cabs will be arrested.

VIRGINIA MINING INSTITUTE.
Ifs Meeting ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Dis
cnssion and Papers.

STAUNToN, Va, May 31.-At the open
ing OF the mining institute this morning Professor
EggestOn read paper on - The Ore Knob Copper
Process" The mines of the Ore Knob Company
are in North Carolina. The ore consists Of pyr-
rhotine, mixed with chalco- pyrites and quartz in
variable proportions. An interesting account OF
the process of reducing the ore was given. In
connection with this subject the Professor deliv-
cred an entertaining lecture the properties and
uses of copper, and the approved methods of pro-
duction. He believed that great wealth in cop
per laid dormant i'll the South, which, if properly
worked, would be as profitable as lake copper.
Major Hotchkiss of Virginia, thanked Professor
Eggleston for drawing attention to the
copper deposits in the South. Very
few persons are aware of the great wealth in this
mineral with which this State abounds. Forty
years ago Richard Taylor made explorations and
reported on this class of ore The only difficulty
in its development then was a lack of transporta-
tin facilities That objection does not now exist,
and this industry may be expected to
be seen coming prominently to the front.
4 paper prepared by F. H. Williams, of ST. Louis,
Mo-, on Volumetric Method of Estimating Man
ganese in Pig-Iron and Steel' was read by the sec
rotary. 1t was an adaptation of the known pro-
cesses. In connection with twas presented paper
on" Manganese Determination in Steele, prepared
by William Kent of Pittsburg, Pa. These papers
were discussed by DrS. Drown, Sharpless and Dud-
ley In reference to the subject of steel rails, let
tiers were read from Richard \. Herman, of Stock
holm, Sweden, and c. ?. Sanberg, of London, Eng.
The latter showed d preference for mechanical
over the chemical tests of steel rails, though he
recognized the full Importance of both. COnsid-
cradle discussion ensued this subject, the prin-
cipal participants being Drs. Raymond and Dud-
ley. At the afternoon session Dr. Sharpless of Bos
ton, made statement with reference TO the black
band iron orcs of West Virginia. F. ?. Dewey, of
Tennessee, read paper Oh Rich Hilliron ores. OF.
Heinrich, of Driftcn, Pa, explained the practical
working of the ammCnia-soda process, and Stuart
N. Buck, of Virginia, read a paper on the hard
splnt of Kanawha. After an explanation of the
geology of the valley by Major Hotchkiss, the in
stitute adjourned until night In the meantime
the visitors were invited visit the various points
of interest about the city, carriages having been
provided by the citizens.
