Careful of the Dresses.

A lady of Glens Falls, the wife of
wealthy gentleman who takes pride in
attributing much of his success to his
wife's thrift, has a handsome Irish pop
lin dress that she had worn more or less
every year in practically constant SER
vice TOR thirty eight years. The gar
mentot course, has been made over"
more than once, but its long survival is
not the result of penurlousness, for the
lady is known for the elegance of her
attire, the possession of some of the
handsomest Jewels in town, ETC., She
has numerous silk and satin robes that
range up to twenty years service, and
their preservation is due simply to q
habit of making the most of everything.

His Mind Was q Blank.

The ease with which mans identity
may be lost in large city is exem-
plified in the case or Chas. Dimmick,
freight agent of the Delaware, Lacka
wanna & Western Railroad at Blng-
hamton, n. Y. October a fne-looking
but somewhat shabbily- dressed man
was found wandering aimlessly about
the streets of t. e Twelfth Precinct of
Brooklyn and was taken to the station
house by an officer. He was evidently
demented. and could say nothing more
than "Deming" and "Binghamton."
The man was committed for eXamina-
ton as to his sanity, and later, after be-
ing pronounced insane, was committed
to the insane asylum at Flatbush. Re
lief Clerk Short communicated with
Binghamton Asylum authorities, but
they knew nothing of any patient who
answered to the description of the man.
The officer who took the unknown
man to the asylum told Mr.. Short that
the patient lad mentioned the name of
Dimmicl1, and, acting on this vague
clew, Mr.. Short again wrote to Blng-
hamton, and established the identity of
the man as that OF Chas Dimmick. He
left home on October l to visit a broth
er who lives i'll Jersey City, and anoth-
er brother, j. NJ. Dimmick, who lives at
% fourth Avt nue.. Since then nothing has
been heard of or from him until the re-
ceipt of Clerk Shorts letter. Mr.. Dim
mick'S relatives were overioyed to learn
of his being alive, and will take steps to
secure his trans er to his home. The
cause of his denentia is supposed to
have been an accident which took place
about two years ago. His body was
crushed between two cars, and for q
long time it was feared he would die.
