Lieut.. Somerville, U. S. N, who has

good story of a confidence game which
some sharpers tried to play on himself

pied the drawing.room of one of the
sleepers on the train, and M morning
after breakfast were enjoying
a cigar when the door
opened and n well-dressed per.
sol appeared, excused himself for taking
the liberty, and asked if they would
object to aid in making up a friendly
game of ''draw". They assented; were
introduced to the other gentlemen and
the game was made up Nothing un-
usual occurred for some time until
Lieutenant Somerville opened a "jack.
pot" with an ace.ful pat. He opened it
for $25, and one of the strangers drew
three cards and raised the lieutenant
back after the draw $50. Not feeling
certain of his ground the officer called
and found himself confronted with four
deuces. Nothing was said and the game
went merrily On. In a little while an
other Jackpot" came along, and one of
the strangers opened the pot for $50.
At this the captain (for such was the
rank of Somerville's c%ompanion) re-
marked to the opener of the pot, "What

The Tariff Bin Completed.

WASHINGTON, February 4.-Represen-

this morning and during the call of states
introduced it in the house. The bill
was prepared last week with the ex-
ception of placing a few articles ON
the free list, concerning which Morrison
was undecided. A reduction of 20 per
cent is made in numerous articles, while
in a few cases the reduction is greater or
less than the rate. Provisions prevent
any reductions to rate lower than the

is, IAN act to reaE,e import duties and

st. Petersburg in Summer.

Most of the ministers and o'her su-
perior officers have left here either for
the country or upon foreign journeys.
Curiously enough. each time the dog
days come, both the civil and military
officers are commissioned to go abroad
and learn various important matters.
Many editors, who are not the least
among our rulers, have slackened their
reins and gone to rest. In order not to
leave their subscribers without inter
esting reading they have sent abroad
some extra reporters to do all the i'm
portant topics. And so many q st.
Petersburger, without extra expense OF
exertion, with a copy OF his paper in
hand, may climb the Alps, loiter
around the famous cities and resorts OF
Italy and Greece, see the sights in
Paris, London and New York, and
penetrate the sands of Sahara and the
forests of India. Meanwhile the great
bulk of the residents of this city en- oy
the dog-days in their own ways. AS the
imperial theaters are closed, the show
houses of the suburbs attract great
crowds. Arcadia, Livadia, Bavaria,
Demidron and other places OF summer
resort vie with one another for the pub
lie favor One employs a large band
of Bohemian singers and performers.
In another there is good circus. The
frivolous operettas are played in each
place. This time Arcadia however, beats
them all, for it has engaged party. Of
American Indians, from Nebraska. The
party consists of twenty persons, in
Guiding five women and three children.
The st. Petersburgers almost fight for
admission to this show. That the
watering places should attract a large
number of quasi-invalids and adventur-
ers of both sexes seems a matter of
course, but it is rather strange that
various converts should become places
of summer resort for motley crowds. 1t
must be admitted, however, that most
OF the Russian converts are most pict-
turesquely situated. during the dog
days the lay folks have pleasure, and
the monks and nuns have only trial and
temptation" young monk of the
Laura OF this city said to me recently.

Barristers and Moustaches.

Among English Judges and Barris-
ters there has always been a strong
prejudice against wearing hair on the
face, and until within the last few years
it would have been impossible to find a
barrister with a moustache. and l be-
lieve no English Judge for some centu-
ries has adopted this natural hirsute ap-
pendage. No doubt this custom is
survival of the days when 1.-THE priest,
all shaven and shorn," was the princi-
pal lawyer. We know the Golf of the
sergeants-at-law was designed to hide
the tonsure. AS an illustrat on of the
judicial dislike to moustaches, the fol-
lowing observation which l heard at
the Sussex Assizes about six or seven
years since, when they were held at
Brighton, may be of inserest. Lord
Chief-Justice Cockburn said to wit
ness: "Witness, in consequence of your
having a moustache, can not hear dis
tincTly what you say, | don't mean to
say that you should cut it off if you
think it an ornament but is prevents
me from hearing you, and you must
therefore speak more loudly" 1t is
somewhat singular that the use OF the
wig is now confined to the Judges of
the bar, having been abandoned by the
rest of society possibly, therefore, the
artificial use of hair on the top of the
mead may be cons dered to make up for
he removal of the natural hair from the
face.-N0teS and Queries.

Zeelanders.
r. Times.

Market-day is generally holiday
as well in Holland. On the slightest
pretext out come all the antique finery
and all the family jewels, and they wear
them in profusion, men, women and
children, in iceland. They pile on the
entire hoard on nearly every salient
part of their person. The dress of the
Zeelanders is by far the most complete
and elaborate of any part OF Holland.
1t is rarely nowadays that the men re-
sist the inroads Of modern fashion, but
here they keep strictly to the costume
Of their forelathers.
Still, if you take the ensemble of the
male "get up" it is rather mixed in
periods and styles. The hat-one shape
of it especially Ohere are three varie-
ties) with the universal cut of hair and
the closely -shaven face, has purely
fifteenth century effect. Such a number
did | meet that reminded me of the
portraits of the Eleventh Louis of
France, or certain heads in Van EycA's
pictures The shrt-collars, often en-
broidered with black lines, and fastened
with large gold button-linkS, are tif-
teenth century also. The jacket seems
to be a survival of the jerkin OF two
centuries later. The ve.vet knee
breeches are evidently century later
still, as the shoes are. The silver
buckles on the neither garments are
often chased richly; while as for the
four great silver waist buttons, or
rather plates, that half encircle the
belt, embellished often with Scriptural
subjects in repOusSe, there is vague
e; knx b,,u
survived since the wandering Gauls
overran the islands of Iceland. The
other style of neither garment is short,
wide, flowing velvet trousers. On both
these there is the same pro usion of sill
YER plate, and both styles have on either
side, back of the hip, a deep narrow
pocket. Exactly where the wild Texan
Ranger secludes his revolver, the Zee
| lander carries his brace of sheath
knives. They are about the size a |
shape and usefulness of the sort OF knI e
that one takes to good sized ham. The
| handles are often OF richly-chased sill
yer, or the more modest lockwood
carved in quaint old design. These
murderous implements, | need not say,
are carried out more to complete the
costume OF the country than for actual
service, though they do not say that ev-
cry proper Zeelander knows well how
/ to use them in case of need. We all
know how unhappy the most amiable
full-dressed Highlander would be with
out few rks about his girdle, and at
least one handy in his garter. So doth
