place A. NJ. in the year Of the world 1904 /;
according to the Samaritan text, A. NJ.
400, and according to the septuagint, A.

to have taken place four years earlier than
the period assigned TO il in the vulgar
era. Until the sixth century the Roman,
or Julian year was followed, which occa-
stoned q deviation Of ten days from the
true time. In 1882 Pope Gregory effected
q reform in the calendar by taking ten
days from the month Of October. This
calendar, called the New Style, was i'm
mediately adopted in all the Catholic
countries. The Julian year, however,
was followed in England until l762, when
eleven days were omitted in September,
the second day Of that month being nc
counted the fourteenth day. The Julian,
or Old Style, Is still used by the Greeks
and Russians.

THE CLOTHES OUR FATHERS WORE.
Costumes That Were Fashionable On. Hundred
Tears Ago.

One hundred years ago the leading men
Of the United States read in their Bibles
that the body is more than raiment, but
they dressed according to the device ol
the woFldly-Wise Polonius:-
costly thy habit a. thy purse can buy.
For the apparel oft proelGims the man."
The YoUtRs Companion says that when
Governor Bowdoin, tall, dignifed man,
reviewed the troops assembled at Cam.
bridge, in 1875, he was dressed In q grey
wig, cooked hat, q white broadcloth coat
and waistcoat, red small clothes and
black silk stockings.
John Hancock, thin in person, six feet
in stature, was very fond Of an ornamen-
tai dress. He wore & wig when abroad,
and cap when at home. A gentleman
who visited Hancock one day at noon,
in June, 1872, describes him as dressed
in 4 red velvet cap lined with fine white
linen which was turned up two or three
inches over the lower edge Of the velvet.
He also wore q blue damask gown lined
with silk; white stock, q white satin
embroidered waisteoat, black satin small
clothes, white silk stockings and red
morocco slippers.
Washington, at his receptions in Phil
adelphia, was dressed in black velvet /;
his hair was powdered and gathered be-
hind in large silk bag. His hands were
encased in yellow gloves; he held 4
cooked hat with cockade on it, and its
edges adorned with black feather. He
wore knee and shoe buckles, and at his
left hip appeared a long sword in a
polished white leather scabbard, with O
polished steel hilt.
John Adams, on the day Of his inaugu-
ration, was dressed in full suit Of pearl
colored broadcloth, and his hair was
powdered. Chief Justice Dana, Of Mass
achusetts, used to wear in winter a white
corduroy surtout, lined with fur, and
held his hands In q large muff. The
Judges Of the Supreme Court Of Massa-
chusetts wore, till 1898, robes Of scarlet,
faced with black velvet, in winter, and
black silk gowns in summer.
At the beginning Of this century pow
der for the hair became unfashionable,
tying up the hair was abandoned, colored
garments went out Of use, buckles disap-
peared and knee breeches gave way to
trousers.

snohomish Eye. The Eyes devil says
he don't want Marysyille girl for lung
tester. At party down there 4 few
nights ago one Of the broad-shouldered,
deep-chested shinGle mill boys invited a
young lady to hit him in the breast in
order to test her lungs. She said she was
left-handed, had been washing that day,
and was tired and did not feel very active,
but at his urgent request she let 20 at
him. When his friends went to pick him
up, he said he thought he would die
easier lying down. He had lost all recol-
lection Of having any lungs, but the
young woman consoled him by admitting
that she did not hit him as hard as she
might have done, because she rather
liked him. The mill is said TO have run
shoTt-handed for q week.

fragments Of card was enormous. They
were originally sold at about IS each, and
the tavern keeper must have made for
tune out Of the sale. Some Of the early
buyers were in great luck, for the price
soon rose to $500, and even at that figure
the supply was quite inadequate. The
tavern keeper obliGingly struck off few
more from time to time, but history does
not say why the monopoly was left in his
hands.
In 1870 the lords justices issued list Of
joint stock Corporations" which they
regarded as frauds. They included the
famous mot TO be disclosed" concern and
some others, the very titles Of which
should have condemned them. One was
4 company ITO insure and largely increase
children's fortunes" This had been
largely patronized by indulgent and fond
mothers, we caught the speculative fever
from their husbands and sold trinkets
and even dresses 30 as TO provide for their
little ones fortunes. It Is needless TO add
that the only little ones benefited belong
ed to some one else. Another company,
with a nominal capital Of u, 900, 900, pro-
posed to ENSURE masters and mistresses
against losses through servants" Other
prospectuses talked wildly about making
iron out Of coal, and yet another proposed
to revolutionize the art Of war, or, as a
satirical poet put it, to float.
An invention to destroy n crowd
OF fools at home, instead OF fools abroad.
For know, my friends, this terrible machine,
They'fcOnl wounded who have shares therein.

Walla Walla Journal: Since the lst
Of the month we have undertaken the job
Of doing our own collecting, and ex-
perience in that line has fully convinced
US that many men are not what they
seem to be. We also discovered that
creditors have a better memory than
debtors, and that men who are the best
collectors, are frequently the poorest pay,
when you have bill against them, but
most men pay as cherfully as they re-
Ceive, and apply the golden rule, which
fact is quite a soothing consolation and

DIR. DAMON
still in che Flood Tide of Success.


 Since the close of the free clinics so gen. erously given to the poor by Dr. Daman he has been kept very busy at his offices, 92e Chapel street, consulting and treating con stantly from morining until night. The remarkable efficiency of this system is ex- empliied by the constantly increasing practice accorded to this eminent special. ist. People are brought to him from all parts of the state, while several are from distant states. One lady went home last week to Camden, N. J., while another re- turns to her home at Montclair to-day. Both of these ladies are highly pleased with the treatment and now declare themselves we'll.
 The wonderful efficacy of this method of treatment may be seen every day upon our own streets, several of whom would not have survived until now, in all probability, had not Dr. Damon cured them. Those wishing to consult the doctor will find him at 928 Chapel street from 10 a. m. to 8 D. m. every day but Saturday and Sunday. If you are sick you should at least get his advice, especially as it costs nothing. ] d13 eodtf

BURNED TO DEATH.

An Unknown Italian Found Near
 Perry,s Pond With His Clothing
 Ahrc-IEe Dies at the Hospital.
 An unknown Italian was found in a frightful condition near Perry's pond in the annex about o'clock yesterday after noon. He was discovered by young man and woman who were walking in the neighborhood with their skates across their shoulders. The saw the Italian run ming frantically about the woods with his clothing all ablaze. He did not seem capable of trying to put out the flames but summoned and the man was caught and the flames of his clothing were extin- puished. He was found to be terribly burned about the hips and other portions of the body were blacked and charred to 8 crisp. He was taken to the engine house where Dr. Welch, who had been sum- moned, gave him hyperdermie injection of morphine to relieve his intense agony. He relapsed into insensibility and was taken to the hospital in the ambulance. Here it was found that he had been so vitally injured that his life would not be saved and at 2 o'clock he died.
 His name could not be ascertaiped. He could not speak Enk1ish and no one could U0 IOullQ WuO COu4o AAApk4UAA OnO 04 the workmen who is employed at lumber camp in the woods short distance from the place where the unfortunate man was first discovered stated that the Italian had been employed there for few days past. He did not know his name or whence he came. No clue could be obtained as to how the mans clothing had been caught in the flames. It is supposed that he had been drinking and had fallen into a.fire which was blazing in the woods. After this he became so frantic with fright that he rushed of without knowing or needing whence he ran.
 Later it was ascertained that the un- fortunate victims name was sPasduelle ZiIleno, aged fifty-seven, and he resided at 50 Hill street. Medical Examiner White made an examination and certified that the cause of death was severe burns and shock. The body was removed to the morgue.
