Individuality of Dress in Scotland

There is more individuality OF dress
in England and Scotland than In Am
erica. Every man has his suit cut to
please himself, and favOrite costume
is short sack coat, pantaloons rather
full atove the knee and fastened tight
around the leg Just above the calf.
Then PAIR of long thick woolen stock
ings come up to where the knee breech-
es end, and the feet are clad In strong
shoes. This makes a very stylish cos
tune, il the wearer Is tall and has good
legs. 1t is worn everywhere and even
gentlemen going about with ladies' on
the street are so clad. Add to this a
helmet cap or a Derby, and you have a
pretty fair idea OF one class OF Scotch
or English dress. Many Of the swells
about the watering places wear clothes
of colors as bright as those of Dolly
Varden's, and have seen some young
men clad in wide red and blue stripes
of soft flannel, others in suits as white
as snow, and others In jackts OF plush
and velvet. There seems to be much
larger gentleman Of leisure class here
than with us, and in the Trossachs and
about Loeb Lomond, where l went to
sail through the region made famous
by Sir Walter Scott, l rode for miles
and miles without hearing the word
business once.

The Salt Mountain of Palestine.

Palestine possesses a remarkable
salt mountain situated at the south
end of the Dead Sea. The length of
the ridge is six miles, with an average
width Of three-quarters of mile, and
the height Is not far from 600 feet.
There are places where the oyerlying
earthly deposits ara many feet
in thickness, but the mass of the noun
tain is composed Of solid rock salt,
some OF which Is as clear as crystal.
How far this deposit of salt extends be-
low the surface of the ground, no one
at present knows, At some points, this
ridge, which is on the shore Of the
Dead Sea, approaches very close to the
water, and at others il recedes until 1t
is fifty or more yards from it. Just
here the water of the Dead sea Is much
more salt than 1t IS at the north end,
where the Jordan enters the lake.
This salt is a government monopoly.
The same is true. of the salt that Is
contained in solution In the Dead Sea
itself. If Arabs or the natives OF
the country were found getting salt
from the shores OF the Deadnsea or from
this salt mountain, they would be ar
rested at once. Most of the salt used
in Hebron, Jerusalem, and elsewhere IN
this part of Palestine, comes from these
sources, but it is gathered under the
direction of g vernment officers, and
the revenue is supposed to 20 to the
government.

Some Uses of Gloves

The reign of Elizabeth may fairly be
considered the turning point In the his
tory of gloves. Through long years, and
keeping in line with the growth OF re-
finement and courtesy, the glove had
been invested first with one ASSOCIATION
and then another, given part and lot IN
this custom and that, until it had come
to hold a very prominent place In the
economy of life. Both at wedding and
funerals gloves were offered as gifts so
commonly as to be recognized features
of the social ceremonial proper to these
occasions. Either for peace and in
favor. or defiant and in deadly anger,
it has come to be as binding upoa ordi-
nary transactions as a written deed,
and as evident of purpose as il the
presence of lis owner had enforced Its
evident intent. Particularly as token
of love, as though it gave in pledge the
hand and regard of fair lady. or as a
cartel of war, threatening so much OF
the vengeful punishment as the hand 1t
had covered could Inhict, did the glove
play its part IN times when both these
sentiments were especially cherished
and avowed. 1t was made the egis OF
trade, ensuring to chapmen and chafI-
ering purchasers Of the wares they Of
fered peace and protection: aud In
agreements of greater moment the
glove was made witness OF a promise
given and the pledge of its fulhliment:
The donation of land to church, and
sometimes even the offer of bodily ser
vice, was made good by the placing OF
glove upon the altar; and IN
the transfer of land-or, In occa-
sional instances Of kingdoms glove
was made a verltable lease by virtue OF
which possession was taken and held.
As securing safe passage, like a pass
port; as an offer Of amIty, like as
though friendly shake of the hand
were proffered; even as a good brlbe,
when it was often ''lined" with good
gold pieces, to tempt men from their
allegiance, or induce them to view a
suit favorably. the glove had many a
momsntous message to convey, many
an important negotiation to open or tC
bind.

Grace King, the new writer to whom
Charles Dudley Warner is acting as

MYSTERIES OF ENGLISH COFFEE.
General Adulteratioa of the Cup
Which Cheers but no: Inebriates.

Neither on English soil nor on Eng
lish ocean steamers have ! found it
possible to get good cup of coffee
unless l purchased my own Java coffee
and stood over the coffee pot while It
was being brewed. And even then |
had to watch most carefully to prevent
its being spoiled by the addition or
what Englishmen consider great i'm
proven of foreign coffee-namely: a
pinch of home or Belgium bitter and
black, hideOus chicery.
very well remember the difficulty
| had with kind landlady of an Eng
lish country inn IN persuading her not
to fling bit of chicory into the pot of
coffee she was making for me out of
pure coffee 1 had brought with me
she, the kind old heart, constantly
asseverating she should not charge me
farthing for it, and that it would
nightly improve my beverage. Less
chicOTy (succory, genus chicoriuml is
now grown in England than formerly; 2;
but an immense amount of it is i'm
ported there from Belgium, France and
Germany, in which countries this per-
ennlal plant is largely used for food FOR
men and cattle.
There was time when a thousand
acres Of 1t were under cultivation in a
single district between York and Stam-
ford, and those English farmers who
were given to its cultivation claimed
that it was not exhaustlng to the soil,
but rather An improver Of 1t, when
crops Of wheat were allowed to follow
1t.
An average yield OF fresh roots is
about eight tons per acre. Late in the
autumn the roots are taken up, cleaned,
and laid away. The common price of
chicory roots in England is about e los
per ton. There is heavy excise duty
upon chicory, and the English growers
of it claim that this duty Is levied IN an
obnoxious manner.
In all good English grocery stores
pure coffee can always be bought. as
well as coffee mixed with chicOry. The
SAFE in England of coffee adulterated
with any mixture is visited with heavy
penalties unless the mixture IS duly
labeled. l have seen in English grocery
shops the packages duly marked ''puTe
coffee" and "coffee mixed" with a
certain per cent. of chicory. Most
purchasers bought the mixture. But
worse than chicory is adulterated chic
sTy. And it is said that most Of the
chIcory in English shops IS adulterated
with beans, carrots, parsnips, and eeets,
and colored with pigments, especially
an eartn known as Venetian red.

NAPOLEON III.
The Melancholy Story of a Great En-
peror's Son.

Napoleon the Great. thought If he had
only a son to rule after him that he
would found a mighty empire that
would be ruled over By the Bonaparte
family for ages. There would be
Napoleon 1, Napoleon III. Napoleon
LII, Napoleon ", and so on until per-
haps there would be as many as there
had been King Loulses in France,
as many as sixteen and more.
at length In the year ISL, a son was
born to the Empress Maria Louisa,
Napoleon's wife. Then the soldier
emperor thought he was very happy.
But suddenly wars broke out again.
His empire had been built by war, and
by war it fell to pieces. 1t melted
away like fairy frost figures. The little
prince was called, for title, the king
of Rome. When he was a year old his
father set out with great army to fight
Russia. Then the empress had the ht-
tie boys portrait painted. He was
a very beautiful child.
The beautiful portrait had painted
upon it the decorations, ribbons and
stars that indicated the titles the great
emperor meant for his son. 1t looked
odd to see such things upon baby a
year old. The likeness was sent to Ma
poleon, and he got it just before bat
tie. He tenderly loved the child, who,
indeed, seems to be the only creature he
ever did care much for.
But the warriors star went down.
When the king of Rome was 4-years-old
it sank TO rise no more. Napoleon be-
came an exile at st. Helena. The en-
press went back to her father, the
emperor of Austria, taking her son with
her, and his father never saw him any
more. In Austria, the boy who was to
inherit a great crown, and be the en-
peror Napoleon ii, was not even
allowed to keep his own name. He
had been called after his father, but
the Austrian ruler hated the name
of Napoleon Bonaparte so much that
he never allowed il to be mentioned.
To the boy was given the name oil
Franz Won Reicbstadt.
So the child who was to have been
such great things never had any title
or empire or fortune or anything else.
He was kind of hanger-on at the court
of his grandfather, and nobody cared
much for him or showed him any par
ticular respect. He who had been SC
beautiful child Decame pale, serfods
youth. with not very good health. He
was melancholy, rather. He could not
forget he was the great Napolson's son,
and that he was quite helpless to dc
any ling worthy of the name. He did
not know what TO do with himself, and
that, perhaps. was the reason he did
not live long. He sail Of himself
once: "My birth and my death-that Is
my whole history" One would think,
with all the work there is to do in the
world, that lie might have found some
way TO be of use, but he did not. He
died at Schonbrum, one of the Aus
trian royal palaces. near Vienna, wher
he was q. Nobody seemed to care.

When the Mists Have Cleared Away

When the mists have rolled in splendor,
From the beauty of the hills,
And the sunshine warm and tenders.
Falls In splendor on the rills,
We may read loves shining letter
In the rainbow of the spray,
We shall know each other better
When the nists have cleared away.
five err in human blindness,
And forget that we are dust,
five miss the law of kindness
When we struggle TO be just,
Snowy wings of peace shall cover
All the pain that clouds our way,
When the weary watch as over
And tie mists have cleared away.
When the silvery mists have veiled Us
From the faces OF our own,
OF we deemed their love has failed US,
And we tread our path alone.
We should see them near and truly,
We should trust them day by day,
Neither love nor blame unduly,
IL the Inists have cleared away.
