1.-THE Argonautl
A hundred years ago, when youth
was .uipped for his freshman year at a
German university, his wardrobe was
something remarkable. A list Of the arti
cles. for example required by the son Of
clergyman when he entered the niver
sity Of Jena In l7i4. Is q curious d0cu-
mept Among the requirements for "a
youth OF good family, Il appears. were
suit Of violet clothes; one Of Awhitish
stu.I" with heavy buttons; green sum
mer coat with a crimson silk vest-fancy
this combination 1t is equal 70 the cos
TUNES at the celebrated wedding of the
monkey and the baboon's sister; and q
scarlet vest with gold buckles aud braid.
q pair OF black trousers and pair of
leather ones: nineteen pairs Of stockings,
of which three pairs were cotton, four
silk, aud the remainder linen; ten shirts.
six Of which had batiste cuffs and the
other four embroidered ones
In the matter of boots and shoes 1t Is
especially mentioned that they were
new. there were two pairs Of boots.
one pair Of shoes and one pair of slip
pers There were sets Of silver and steel
buckles, pipe with silver top. an
enameled snuf box. cane mounted with
silver, q steel sword, and purse; knife
spoon, and fork of silver; an under
tucked Of swan 8 down: six white neck
ties, one Of which Is silk two silk hair
ribbons; six Dightcaps. and-only two
towels. Whether the two towels were
OF such enormous size that each one could
be used yard by yard, does not appear;
but how the youth ever managed to get
along with the limited supply of the most
necessary article Is not told How differ
ent the outfit for the year of grace 1885
Is and how much easier to obtain. All
the long stockings had TO be knitted
The neckties had to be cut out and
fashioned and the shirts all had TO be
made by hand with all their frills and
bstiste trimming
