ABsURD1r1Es OF MEMS CARE.

The approaching IceiDll OF Knee BreecheS-
Why the Modern CARD is a Barbdro~S
affair.
'Knee breeches are coming into use IL
Boston," said fashionable Blank street
tailor to Boston Herald man.
"For every day wear?"
"No, not yet; but will come soon enough
1 mean for evening parties. l am making
pair of knee breaches for young man
to wear out evenings when he goes in full
dress. Several of our 'toniest' young men
are wearing them at dinners and at par
ties. In New York number of young
men moving in the best circles have re-
solved to wear knee breeches with full
Dress"
"One result of Oscar wilde's example and
preaching, 1 SUPPOSED" ventured the in
curing newspaper man.
80, no; Wilde didn't start it, Haven't
you heard of Gotch? Don't you know that
Gotch saws that men are comfortably and
conveniently dressed, but that beauty is
conspicuously absent in their attire?.
1t appears that this rival of Oscar has
put his ideas regarding mems dress into
print. Trousers are not economical, in
asmuch as they get baggy at the knee long
before they are worn out, and they are
always getting dirty at the ankles They
are not specially adapted either for cold
or for wet. On wet
day it is from the knee down
ward that catches the rain and necessi-
tates the changing of the whole garment.
Indeed, it is the way in which they ignore
the knee Joint which renders trousers SO
Objectionable. 1t is at this joint they drag
and not only spoil their own shape, but in
fiict a sense of tightness over the whole
body by means of the braces.
Why are buttons placed on the back of
coat? Mr.. Gotch remarks that the tailors
say that they are there to "mark the
waist But why should the waist be
marked? AS a matter of fact, the only
reason for the existence or these two but
tons is that they are a
survival from the time when they
we're of use, when men buttoned back
the long flaps of their coats in order to
walk more freely, or found them useful IN
sustaining the sword belt. We have no
flaps now, we wear no swords now; then
why keep the buttons? Another rudi-
mentary organ may be found at the end of
the sleeve. There is always cuff marked,
generally double row of stitches, which
performs no useful service, unless it be to
remind US that our grandfathers had
facings to their sleeves, and that the little
buttons which still appear at the end were
of real use when the sleeve was tight at
the wrist. Another inevitable feature
of the coat is the collar. In old
times this collar was of some service;
it was large and turned up well in inclem-
emit weather; in order to allow of its but
toning properly around the neck nick
was necessary. But, though we hardly ever
think of turning up an ordinary coat col
lar. and find it of little use if we do so, we
still preserve both it and the nick as sur
vivals. The stove-pipe hat, too, is only the
carcase on which our ancestors were wont
to display ribbons and knots and other
gauds. In itself, it is both ugly and un-
comfortable Then we wear absurd neck
ties that do not tie and pins that do not
pin.

Il Singular FOre6Odi1ag of Death.
Tnoa-1o T4--4,v M@~sGr


Miss Mary Payne, who is we'll known all
through Georgia, when on her road to visit
some friends in Gainesville, on passing the
Mars Hill graveyard, ordered her driver to
stop the team, which he did. Then she
demanded a promise from him that he
would bring her back and bury her there
beside her sister Jane. s'For," said she, II
will never come back home alive. I am
going to die away from home and want
you to bring me back here for burial" To
this declaration she chung, nor could she
be persuaded that as she was in good health
she would have pleasant visit and return
home happy. She would say, "No, am
going to die before I ever see home again."
And what makes this seem almost prophet
ic is that before three weeks had rolled
by, and while she was at Gainesville, last
Sunday week, she took a congestive chill
and died suddenly, and was brought back
to Marsh i'll, as she requested, and there
buried beside her dear sister.

yLR. WESTON.s POETRY.

Mr.. George NJ. Weston, not entirely
unknown to fame in Maine, was recently
one of the witnesses before the Senate
Committee which was investigating the la
Dor question in New York. The New
York Times gives the following account
of Mr. Weston's appearance before tie
committee:
MIR. Weston, who states that he is a
lawyer and a literary man, submits a
statement in relation to the taxation of
land. He sought to controvert the the
ory of William Goodwin Moody and
Henry George. In the course of his brief
and somewhat rambling talk Mr.. Weston
mentioned the fact that his father had
once bought some land in Yazoo county,
Miss, and had written some poetry about
it, which he would recite.
"Never mind the poetry" said Sena-
tor Blair, very decidedly.
But it is not long, said the witness.
Leave it out please" said the Senator.
g would like to give it," pleaded the
witness: cit is short"
"Well, then, you may give 1t" said the
Senator, with look of resignation.
Il bought some land in Yazoo,
And failed, and failed"
"That's it," said the witness, soberlv,
"its after the style of the piece written
about Captain Kid" The general tees-
ing of relief which followed was accom-
panied by an audible smile.

A correspondent with the " last spike -"
rarty on the Northern Pacific railroad
thus writes of this great farm: The great
Dalrymple farm is few miles west of
Fargo. 1t was the intention to make a
stop a: this farm and exhibit the 200
reapels In operation, but Mr. Dalrymple
said to-day that the wheat was so ripe
that he had to cut it last week. Hence
he operation of harvesting could not be
exhibited. 81 am now threshing the
wheat at rate of 900 bushels a dav,r
said Mr.. Dalrymplc. eve send to Du-
luth seventy-tive car loads each week.
And from there we ship by water to
Buffalo. The wheat is sold in Buffalo.
Il is all No ! hard, and we get for it Is
cents bushel more than is obtained for
wheat grown in Minnesota Ours is all
spring wheat and it is mixed with softer
grades and ground into flour in Buffalo.
How many acres have you under cul-
ovation :"
"About 10000 There are $4,000 acres
IN the farm and we are putting 5000 more
acres under cultivation each year. When
came here eight years ago we bought
'he land with Northern Pacific stock and
paid 80 cents an acre for it. 1t is worth
now 50 an acre. Eight years ago you
could 90 800 miles in either direction on
this prairie without seeing house Now
YOU can travel the same distance without
getting ont of sight of a house. The
available land is now all taken up, but
It can oc purchased, of course, at an ad-
vance
