Effeminate DandyiSms

Men appeared in Elizabeth's tine in
ruf's, plated, and plated as daintily as
any dame; they carried fans and
pocket glasses by which to arrange any
occasional q sorder in their dress. Then,
too they carried mu is. and revived a
fashion of wear ne earrings. Fut lest
it would seem that this arrangement of
men is piece by piece, taking from our
forefathers all title TO our respect, it
should be mentioned Il a. t. men orig
inally belong the right to wear rutis
by virtue of original ownership. twas
only when ladies invaded masculine
privileges, and took to ruf1s, that a
keen competition began, in which each
sex stove to Guido the other in extrav-
a. ance. and the heads Of people APP
I cared as if bCrIe on linen trenchers.
Earrings, too, were worn by men be-
fore the conquest. This cannot be held
to exonerate men from blame nor divert
us from the concl, son that at certain
periods men have generally adopted an
unseem'y display and been guilty Of an
cfeminate refinement in dress.
1t IS not so much to the d:scredit OF
EngIi> hmen thai they wore pettiCOats
and stOmachars in ea"ly days, when
those tn ngs were recognized parts of
male co tune, as it is TO the disgrace of
their descendants who took up the wear
ing of flipperies and fneries proper to
wOmen-the d;ssOlute cavaliers who,
after the restoration, pranked themselves
out in laces and ribbons and feathers
and flowing urls, or the cravatted and
bewigged handles and maccaronics of
the succeeding reigDs, who, w tn their
garnished coats, lace cuffs, silk brCech-
es, clicked stockings and buckled shoes,
wore at I, asst as fine and certainly no
less developed than their fathers. 1t is
well that mas uline dress has now dis
tinct lines of demarcation, and has be-
come generally dark and sOmber in
color. so that, although Washers and
dudes perpetuate eaeminacy in man,
they have not at least the advantag s
which gaudy apparel and common gar
ments might give them in paradng
the degenerate daintiness of which they
seem so unworthily vain.-American

His Dead Child.


The other day New Orleans man

had cot under way the conductor came
and said: - Come with me; | want to
show YOU the sadie t, strangest sight
YOU ever saw, and he led the way into
the next car. There sat the man whom
he had noticed with the babe; his
precious little bundle lay quiet on the
seat in front of m. and as these other
two men watched he leaned over and
looked long and earnestly in the little
fac, and then XII sed the frail finger
tips he held so gently in his hand.

He couldn't bear to put it in coffin,
becaus, then it would have to go with

is in carving it home to New Orleans

core he sat there quiet and unheeiing,
watching over his dead child, kis ing
the fingers that would never again soft
" clasp his, looking down upon the
white lids that had closed over the
bright eyes a; the petals of sensitive
flower close at n ght time over its deli
cate heart, and the world was nothing

Every farmer who does his work
as thoroughly as an ordinary business
man in any other line, Is as certain to
secure a competence as the sun is to
shine. Farming is a noble business,
but it is the only calling we know that
will support Iaggard in spite of his
laziness. A living is SO certain and
sure that the best of us sometimes fall
into loose way of conducting our af-
fairs that allows our substance to steal
away from US in an almost inIpercepti-
BILE way, and we never know where the
leakage is. This is the advantage of
keeping books on the farm as else
where, and it is the only way to Ike p
up with the procession. - Farming

No Manuscripts Wanted.


During a recent stroll in the vicinity

How the Duchy Of Prussia Came to the
HOhe nZOllenS.

The country in question lies along the
coast of the Baltic, east of the river
Nistula. The nativeS-the Prussians,
or PO-Russians- were Slavs by race.
heather by religion. fisherman and
hunters by occupation; and they were
ever ready to fight, and fight braveIy,
for their religion, their homes and their
independence. But the church could
not tolerate their religion, and sought
to carry them the Gospel of Peace on
the point OF the sword. With the sword
the baThaTians resisted; and more than
one piOus expedition marched into fatal
disaster. At length it was determined
to call in the Ieutonic Knights-an or
der Of chiv&lry founded during the Cru
sades, and in the early part of the thir-
teenth century settled without employ
ment at Venice. Those Jealous advent
urers responded with eagerness to the
appeal They received a grant of the
country from the Pope and the Emper-
or, set about the conquest with energy
and method, and eventually subdued
the natives under their authority and
that of the church. For two centuries
they governed well. The country was
prosperous, and the knights, though a
privileged caste, adverse to labor. set
at least an example of temperance and
equity. But luxury and idleness began
finally to work their effects, and by
the fifteenth century the knights
had lost their habits of sObriety, their
sense of Justice, their valor and skill in
battle. in wars with Poland they were
repeatedly unsuccessful, and paid for
their defeats by the loss of territ ory.
The post of Grand Mas err Of the order
went begging all over Europe. 1t had
ceased to be post of honor or of pow
er. But early in the sixteenth century
the choice fell upon Albert of HOhen-
zollern, of the Nuremberg bD.nch Of
the family, and he accepted, with the
resolution to restore the wasted fortunes
of the colony. The task was difficult.

Albert applied for help gave only adj

lied the order, and created the Duchy
of Prussia, he himself being Duke, and
vassaI of the republic of Poland.
With this revolution begins the chain
of circumstances which led to the ac-
QUESTION of the duchy by Albert's kins-
men OF Brandenburg. 1t will suffice to
say that in 1869 the right of succession
in the duchy, on the failure of direct
heirs of Albert, had Eeen secured to the
Electors of Brandenburg by treaty with
Poland, that IN 1918 this contingency
arrived, and John Sigismond. who had
further claim based on his marriage
with granddaughter of Albert became
