How Basgy Trousers Became FashionabI.

HOW Hhgky trousers Became Fashionable
Baggy trousers have come suddenly
into fashion with the fellows who ape
the English, and it is all a mistake. The
duke of Sutherland sailed into port a
month ago aboard his yacht, in which
he is cruising around the world, and his
advent stirred Fifth avenue profoundly.
He was idolized during his three weeks
stay III the city, and in whatever respects
his manners differed from those pre-
viously accepted as the best in London,
in these particulars the Anglomaniacs
amended their own. He was accepted
as undoubted authority. One day he
went to the tailor most p~atronized by
this clique and ordered two suits OF
clothes. He stipulated hat the trousers
should be very loose, and they were made
so. The tailor hastily informed his Gus
toners of the dimensions, and they fol
lowed the example with all speed. In a
week the legs of a hundred handles were
lost in iiabby %pantaloons. Then some
suits direct from London arrived, and
the trousers were only medium size. The
truth TRANSFERRED that the duke meant his
two pairs for wear aboard his yacht
simply for comfort and not for style.
But the fashion had been set, and baggy
trousers, though blunderingly donned,
are not to be taken off.-"Uncle Bills

More than 81, 900, 900 are spent annu
ally by the people of the United States
for perfumes for the bath, toilet and
handkerchief. Among the most popular
perfumes found in the stock of our lead
ing druggists are May Bells, Blue Bells,
Edenia, Marechal Neil Rose, Evangeline
and Alpine Violet. Rose odors such as
tube rose. tea rose and white rose are
largely in demand; also the pure oil OF
rose. Ottar, essence or oil of rose, Sc
much sought after by the ladies, is dis
titled from the fresh rose flowers. 1t is
prepared largely in a little town called
Kisaulick in the Balkan mountains.
About 5000 pounds are raised annually,
the commercial value of which is $3.50 to
5000 per pound. The roses are gathered
in May and are distilled with the green
leaves of the caly. The oil is furnished
in minute proportion, not more than
three pounds being realized from 100
pounds of roses. Democrat.

sounds of Bullets and Cannon Balls.
There were those who pretended to tell
by its sound what sort of cannon OF
small arm projectile was passing them
in the air. Certainly there was n great
difference in the sounds. When a
musket ball was at full speed it made a
whiz like some huge and rapidly flying in
sect. To advance under n fire of in
fantry often seemed like attacking a
swarm of bees or hornets. the air was 50
constantly cut by the little messengers OF
death. But as the force of a musket
ball diminished it gave q melancholy,
long-drawn wall, almost exactly like the
"meow." of a cat that is scolding its OPP
ponent. Between the ''whiz!" or the
''st," of a musket ball and the fear
full hubbub made by the greatest
of cannon projectiles there was
an immense variety of soul
narrowing sounds. There was a
projectile, used by some of the Confeder-
ate artillery in the campaign between
the Wilderness and Petersburg, whose
sound, though not the loudest, was very
stirring in its effects. and our men nick
named it THE Great Demoralizer." For
there were few backbones in the Army
of the Potomac that did not involunta-
rily bend whenever this shot with it,
fearful combination of rasping, tearing,
screaming and roaring sounds all in one
passed over them.-T. F. Galwey in Chi

'un-Spots and Their Influence.

Sun-Spots and Their Influence.
The question of sun-spots and the
weather is still debated with about the
same vigor as ever; but, on the whole,
there seems to be no reason to modify
the opinion expressed in the text.
While it is not at all unlikely that care
full and continued investigation will re-
suit in establishing some real influence
of sun-spots upon terrestrial meteor
ology 1t is extremely insignificant, and
so masked and veilcd as to be very DIFF
ficult to determine. There is no ground
or reason for the current speculations
of certain newspapers who ascribc al
most every great storm in the eastern
part of the United States to some sun
spot or other
The strange connection between solar
disturbances and magnetic disturbances
on the earth has. however, become
more certain. if possible, than ever be-
fore. and is no longer anywhere dis
puted. In November, 1882. there was
a very remarkable instance of
an intense magnetic storm and
polar aurora simultaneous over all
the earth. and coincident with the sud-
den outbreak of an enormous group OF
sun-spots.
Mr. Loekyer announces, as the result
of Il long series of observations upon
sun-spot spectra, that there is a strik-
ing difference between the spot-spectra

Sarcany and SiIas Ioronthal were IN any
way concerned in 1t.
Neither Madame Toronthal nor her

couple were to remain a few DAYS at
Ragusa, and then leave for Tripoli,
where Sarcany 1t was said usually lived.
There would therefore be no party in
the Stradone either for tho reading Of
the settlements or after the religious

business of the firm in recent years has

The only occasion when he showed anX

the panic of 1873 4, the firm was
threatened with disaster. Its credits
were very large. and when a sudden
check was given TO trade all over the
country, Claiin x Co. of course felt the
result. An expert who was called in at
the time TO unrayel the tangled cOndi-
ton of affairs was paid $4,000 in cash
for his work. In one night 1000 letters
were written to the debtcrs of the firm
stating the pressing need of cash, and
the replies brought in about 81 900, 600.

without actually adding up the columns,
discover if anything was wrong. An
