The cut Of his coat always betrays an
American who has just returned from
Europe. No matter what else he may
or may not buy while he is in England,
our fellow cOuntryman always makes
it a point to lay in a supply of clothes
when he reaches London. They al
ways seem to be so very much cheaper
there. You go about among the shops
pricing" things, and you find an En-
glish tailor charging $25 for a suit of
clothes for which q New York tailor
would charge $50, using the same ma
terial. The same difference is observed
in the price Of nearly every article Of
clothing ,oyercOats, gloves, shirts,
fannels, etc.-and the temptation to
buy is too strong to be resisted. One
thing which always astonishes the
American who orders clothes in Lon
don is the tremendous rapidity with
which they are made. You have your
measure taken in the morning, and
pair Of trousers is delivered at your
hotel before dinner time. Two or three
suits can be made in twenty-fOur hours,
and an overcoat in a day and half. It
would almost seem as if the various
parts of the garments flew together,
and in some tailoring establishments
they actually advertise to make clothes
while you wait"

keep out the thirty-siZ-p FOUNDER armOr-
piercing shell; 81 to determine the
thickness of plate which viii keep out
a common steel shell fired direct with
a full charge Of powder. The results
were that at $500 yards the armOr-
piercing shell, with a velocity Of 1.076
feet per second, penetrated a plate Of
mild steel three inches thick At 1000
yards range with 1, 537 feet velocity,
it penetrated a fOur-inch plate Of hard
steel. and a five-inch hard steel plate
was penetrated at 800 yards range with
LIS feet velocity. In the second ex-
pertinent it was found that the shell
penetrated three-inch mild steel plate
at an angle of 35 degrees or % degrees
to the normal Against hard steel
plate of the same thickness the shell
broke up at an angle of 80 degrees. At
a four-inch hard steel plate the shell
glanced off at an angle of 30 degrees,
while at 45 degrees the plate broke up,

JOHN BURNS, the head and center of
the dock laborers' strike in London,
is only thirty years old, and owes his
education to burning the midnight oil
after ten hours work in a factory, and
reading books that the price Of many

fully built man, of transparent hon
esty, and decidedly advanced opinions,
and is an excellent orator of the open
air order. His fists are as hard as his
head, and have stood him in good stead
in many an encounter on behalf of the
rights Of the people" His leisure
moments he devotes to skating and
total abstaining.

STURGEON, the eminent Baptist
preacher, never makes any preparation
for a sermon. It is his habit to choose
some text on Saturday evening to be
used on the morrow. Thirty minutes,
and no longer, he devotes to looking
upreferences. On these references he
jots down a few notes, and with moth
ing else at hand he steps into his pull
pit on Sunday morning, without manu-
script or thought of his text other than
that given it during the half-hour's
study of the previous evening.

seem to have had but one idea in ccnnec-

that every Wearer OF a corset must neces-

that they are improving their figu q, is
every woman to be denied the use of an ar

an uncomfortable and unsightly being but
likewise suffer in health? Doubtless the

that a woman who discards the sup

four inches long and an inch and

as hard as a brick. The interior is
