Naturally, the poor wretches preferred to die

and the battle began. An eye witness has
transmitted to Us an account Of the cruel scene,
praises the valor Of the combatants, and adds
that when the emperor and gazing crowds were
stated With carnage and the lake cleaned red
with blood the combat was stayed and life and
liberty granted to the survivors.
After this sanguinary display the order was
given for raising the food gates at the mouth
Of the tunnel, and then began the first outflow
OF the hitherto Imprisoned waters. Very soon
1t became apparent that the gates had not been
placed at sufficient depth TO allow scarce any
perceptible diminution Of the waters Of the
lake. Claudius was filed with rage at this OBJ
vious failure Of project on which he had
lavished such enormous expenditure, while his

Narcissus insisted that he only needed q few
days time TO remedy the defect at the mouth Of
the tunnel and all would be right His en-
treaties we're granted, and immediately laborers
were again at work, urged on unremittingly for
days and nights, while the Emperor Claudius
and his pleasure-loving court passed the time
In one ceaseless round OF wild revelry. The
anxious secretary taxed his brain to invent new
pleasures for his royal master and TO assuage
the hatred Of the empress. He caused the
erection OF luxurious pavilion over the
reservoir which was TO receive the first rush Of
the swirling food. where, while Claudius with
the empress and court were enjoying the mag
niacent banquet which he had also prepared in
the pavilion. they could zee the excited food

In about twenty days the raft becomes
| covered with the creeper GpOmoea rep

| gathered for cooking. In autumn its
| small white petals and yellow stamens,
Nesting among the round leaves, present
| a very pretty appearance. In some places
marshy land is profitably cultivated in
this III Besides these floating
| vegetable gardens there are also floating
rice fields. Upon RATS constructed as
above weeds and adherent mud were
| placed as a flooring, and when the rice
shoots were ready for transplanting they
were placed in the floating soil, which
being adhesive and held in place by weed
roots, the plants were maintained in po-
sition throughout the season.
The rice thus planted ripened in from
sixty to seventy in place OF 100 days. The
RATS are cabled to the shore, floating on
| lakes, pools or sluggish streams. These
| floating fields served to avert famines,
whether by drought or flood. When
other fields were submerged and their
crops sodden or rotten these fioated and
fiourished, and when a drought prevailed

THE HANDKERCHIEF POCKET.
Tailors Are Puzzled as to Where to
IOcate 1t.

Tailors Are Puzzled as to Where to
Locate 1t.
A small matter, such as the location of
a handkerchief pocket, has agitated
tailordom for a long time and been a
mooted question apparently impossible OF
solution. Various high authorities
among the leading arbiters of mems at
tire have disagreed as to the proper DIS
posal of the handkerchief when worn
with the dress suit. There is no dispute
as to what kind of a handkerchief the
full dress handkerchief should be. It ID
in conformance with good taste, of
medium size, in white China silk or fine
decoration Of any sort. But where the
handkerchief was to be put when not in
use has led to no end of discussion among
leading swells and leading ~tailors.
The handkerchief placed in the inside
pocket of the coat plainly raises an I'M
slightly protrusion over a mans heart or
liver. OF course the stuffing of it into
the side trousers pocket is out of the
question; ramming the useful mouchOir
into the coat-tail pocket throws the fault
less set of the swalloWtail entirely out of
balance; the motion of reaching for the
handkerchief in the trousers hip pocket
forces the reacher into anything but a
graceful pose, While The plan OF Stuf1ng
this indispensable appurtenance of even
ing attire into the vest, q la cor sage
was a preposterous innovation.
1t was while in consultation with one
of the prominent swell tailors a few days
since upon the signs of times and the out
look for the forthcoming season that the
handkerchief pocket question was brought
up and was solved on the instant, as great
things are oftimes accomplished, by
pure inspiration. 1t occurred to us of a
sudden that neither the coat nor trousers
afforded an opportunity for conceal
ment, but that the dress vest was
the proper and feasible nesting place for
the m03clt0jr on all formal occasions.
The suggestion was rapturously re-
ceived by this famous knight of the
shears, and the plan was speedily per
fected that there should be a horizontal
slit pocket on the inside of the vest on
each side, for every swell would prefer to
have two handkerchiefs rather than one,
and the opening should begin close under
the armhole. The extra bulk would not
interfere with the fit of the coat and
would give quite an enhancing filing out
of the vest. Moreover, the shape and 10
cation of the pockets would enable them
to be readily and gracefully reached
