SO Objectionable. 1t is at this jointthey
drag, and not only spoil their own shape
but inflict sense of tightness over the
whole body by means of the braces.
Why are buttons placed on the back
of coatp Mr.. Gotch remarks that the
tailors say that they are there to "mark
the waist" But why should the waist
be marked? AS q matter OF fact, the
only reason for the existence of
these buttons Is that they arc n survi-
val from the time when they were 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 buttonsp Another
rudimentary organ may be found at the
end of the sleeves. There is always
cuff marked, generally double row Of
stitches, which performs no useful ser
vice, unless it be to remind us that our
grandfathers hadfacings to their sleeves,
and that the little buttons which still
appear at the end were of real use
when the sleeves were tight at the wrist.
Anothet inevitable feature of the coat Is
the collar. In old times this collar was
of some service; it was large and turned
ND well in inclement weather; in order
to allow of its buttoning properly
around the neck nick was necessary.
But, though we hardly ever think of
turning up an ordinary coat collar, and
find it of little use if we did so, we still
preserve both it and the nick as survi-
walls. 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 uncomfortable. Then we wear abb
surd neckties that do not tie and pins
that do not pin.

Gals say the commission has been regarded
as functus of1icio from the time it made its
report to congress ut the opening Of last
session, and no money has been paid its
members OH account of service since that
time. John /. Hayes, who was disbursing
officer of the commission, as well as its
president, is now settling his accounts. Ali
the money allowed him, since the report
was submitted to congress-, has been for the
purpose of defraying expenses incurred in
the progress of the work.
PREPARING THE PENSION LIST.
One of the last acts of the forty.seventh
congress was TO appropriate about $50, 600
Tor the purpose OF printing q communica
ton from the commissioner of pensions
showing the postoffice address OF every pen
siOner borne on the rolls. a large force of
clerks has been at work on this subject
since November, and the data collected was
brought down to the 1st of January, 1889.
When printed there will be upwards of A.
800 pages of rule and figure work, and these
will be condensed into eight volumes of GOO
pages each. IL is not expected that the
work will be completed before next fall, as
there will be no demand for IL until con-
gress reassembles, and the public printer

The secretary of the treasury having d.
rected that the word "cents" be added TO
the new 5-cent piece, the superintendent of
the Philadelphia mint who designed the or
iginal coin, is engaged in preparing a de-
vice for the back of the proposed coin which
will include the denomination of its value
In unmistakable forms. No order. however.
has been made suspending the coinage of
the new 5-cent pieces and the mint bureau
reports that they are being issued from the
Philadelphia mint at the rate of nearly s5.-
600 day, an amount sufficient only TO sun.
ply about half the applications. The de-
mand comes exclusively from private firms
as Treasurer Gilfillan decided no more of

THE old WORLD
THE COMPLICATIONS BETWEEN
FRANCE IND CHINA.
A Belief that War Between the Two Ma
tions is Notwithstanding of the
Statue of Lafayette at Paris-General
Foreign Notes.
THE WAR CLOUD IN THE EAST.

LONDON, Sept. Ga private letter from
Pekin says: Lihung Chang is really in
favor of peaceable solution of the diff
Guilty with France, while intriguers who
surround the court are urgent in the cry
for war. Birnee Kung, one of the con-
servative members of the government,
expresses the opinion that war will be the
signal for a number of outbreaks in the
empire. The empress is reported as being
fearful for her Manence dynasty, and in
clined to favor such measures as shall
secure peace.
The Standard Hong Kong special says
the people of China seem to have little
fear of the result of war with France,
and believe that with new armaments and
vastly improved discipline of their forces
the nation is far better able to cope with a
foreign enemy than it was in the war of
1860. A Chinese paper urges that imme-
diate action be taken to prevent the annex
alton by French of any portion of Chinese
territory, and expresses indignation that
such an attempt should have been made
at time when China was at
peace with France. A large number of
Chinese employed on board French vessels
have deserted. The companies find great
difficulty obtaining hands.
the Times Hong Kong special states ad-
vices are received from Hoip Pong, an
nouncing that the French admiral will
blockcade the ports of Canton and Pakoi,
unless the Chinese troops are withdrawn
from the Tonquiu frontier. It is stated
Chinese merchants are leaving Canton
because their letters are opened and they
distrust the Canton mandarins.
LONDON, Sept. 6.-The Times editorial
ly says: France is steadily drifting into
war with China. The latter is vulnerable
only in those posts which occupy quasi
International position, and any blow
struck there will be felt throughout
Europe. The shock to English trade in the
East Indies will be most disastrous, ,and the
relation between England and France
be seriously embittered thereby. The de.
struction of the cotton trade would put out
of employment thousands operating in the
Lancaster factories and the revenue to the
British crown from India would show q Sc
rious deficit. The Times points out that
in the event of war Americans, Germans,
Japanese and even the Chinese themselves
would secure more of foreign and coasting
trade in the east than the French.
PARIS, Sept. GA dispatch from Hong
Kong says no Chinese men of-war arrived
there from the north. Three Chinese
transports reached Pakaio in fortnight
with 750 regulars. Large quantities of
supplies and provisions are being collect
ed and stored at Canton.
