People with "cheek."

A cool imposition that, for man to ask
a merchant for the use Of his horse and
wagon to go to Woodglen, where he buys
-four and groceries from a merchant who
only accommodates him with what he
sells him for cash. Cor. Clinton Demo-
crdt.
The above piece of "cheek was about
equalled some time since by a certain bus
mess man in this city, who complained
thattTuE RECORD had not given any "puff"
of his business. This man was not a sub
scriber to the paper, had never had job
done in the Office and just before his COM
plant was made, had ordered some print
ing OF a drummer for an out-of-town
printing office He Is not az exceptional

MIR. c. I. Baumgartner, of 10, II and
10 E. State St., Trenton, has just COM
pleted the enlargement of his stores. Re-
Gently he purchased the property adjoin-
ing his two stores, occupied by Dobbins'
hat store. He has remodeled it and
connected 1t with his other stores, and he
now has the largest and finest dry goods
stores In Trenton. Mr.. Baumgartner's
success as a merchant has been phenome-
nal. Beginning about twelve years ago
in small store, with small stock, his
business has grown until it is now one Of
the few prominent stores in Trenton, car
rying an immense stock of dry goods,
dress and fancy goods, cloaks, furs, &c.
&c. Such success has not been secured
without gaining the confidence of his
patrons and giving them full value for
their money. Ladies who shop in Tren-
ton should not fail to call and look at the
new store and new stock.

A relic that will occupy a prominent
place In the Worlds Fair has just been
discovered at Haleyville, near Bridgeton.
II is the bell In the tower OF the little Az
rican M. E. Church. The bell was given
to the church by Elias Newell, South
Jersey sea captain, who sailed to all parts
OF the world. He brought 1t from the is
land OF San Andreas, and with it a well
authenticated record that II was Brought
from Spain by Columbus on his fourth
and last voyage to America In 1902.
Queen Isabella presented the bell to Column
bus. 1t is still in good condition and its
silvery tones summon the dusky residents
of Haleyville to worship every Sunday.

The first clock at all answering to the
modern notion, in 50 far, at any rate, that
its motive power was due to wheels and
weights, or at least one weight, is said to
have been made by Gerbert, Benedictine
monk, who afterward became Pope Sylves-
ter III for Magdeburg cathedral This
was in the year 996; but in all probability
the clock did nothing more than strike a
single blow at each hour on bell in order
that the monks might know the times of
devotion. Such a clock had no dial or
face. During the reign of Edward / the
first genuine clock in England was placed
in Westminster abbey. 1t must have been
quite wonder, and it remained alone in
its glory for many years. In the Four
teenth century Peter Lightfoot, a monk of
Glastonbury abbey, made clock, which is
now preserved in the British museum. No
clock in England possessed the faintest
claim to accuracy before that of Hampton
court was set up in the year 1910.

The Origin of Chess.

The origin of chess is shrouded in mys-
terry. There is but little doubt, however,
says The Inter-Ocean, that its birthplace
was in India, and that it is an offspring of
a game called chaturanga, which is men
toned in oriental literature as in use fully
200 years before the Christian era. From
India chess spread into Persia, and thence
into Arabia, and ultimately the Arabs took
it into Spain and the rest of western Eu-
rope. The game was in all probability in
vented for the purpose of illustrating the
art of war. The Arab legend upon this
point is that it was devised for the instruc-
ton of a Young despot by his father, a
learned Brahmin, to teach him that king,
notwithstanding his power, was dependent
for safety upon his subjects The Greek
historians credit the invention of the game
to Palamedes, who they claim devised it to
beguile the tedium of the siege of Troy
during the Trojan war.

A New Code of Ethics in Dress.

The latest apostle of the beautiful in
dress has arisen to promulgate new code
of ethics by which a woman's gowns shall
be chronicle or dress directory of her
emotions and conditions. The holy and
dignified estate of matrimony shall find
expression in a black garment; while love,
its precursor, too often only it's precursor,
is robed in garment upon which the
torch Of hymen, from peoples in crimson
and gold, is symbolical of loves hypno-
tism. Health wears a gown Of Nile green
with border of lotus flowers. Life is
CARRIED in white Grape with silver antique
traceries. Death is glorified in garments
wherein the golden light of the sun and
the silver sheen of the moonbeams mingle
in the mysterious symbol of death.

Now the dog days have come to an end it
is appropriate to say something about
ladies' pets. Little dogs have had their
day and the taste now is for big dogs.
There is more sense in big dogs than little
dogs, and more sense in having them as
companions. The helpless little creatures
that ladies used to fondle to the despair
and envy of their lovers-sad dogs-were
certainly not useful and scarcely ornamen-
tai Just now ladies are going about with
ST. Demands, Great Danes, Airedales, fox
terriers, bull terriers and collies--dogs
which are well calculated to keep the timid
Washers at Il respectful distance. Collies
seem to have become fashionable because
the Princess of Wales is rather fond OF
them. She generally has collie with her
when she goes out driving.

Queen vIctoria,s Horses.

The cream colored horses that draw the
queen of England's carriage upon state oc-
casions trace their pedigree back to the
time of George |, horses of that hue having
from time immemorial been in the especial
service of the electors of Hanover. For or
binary use Queen Victoria employs four
gray horses, driven by servants in dark
livery, but the cream colored steeds, known
as the sacred Hanoverians," are seldom
seen by the public except when they are
exercised in the early morning, or when
the queen appears at some great public
function. At her coronation she was drawn
by such horses as these attached to the
"gilded ark" built in 1761. This is seven
teen feet long and weighs four tons, says

CHILDREN'S CLoAKs, FRoCKs AND BONNETs.
We give few new designs in children's
cloaks, frocks and bonnets. The tall
young lady in sketch of the second row
has on pretty cloak made of Scotch plaid,
with Tam O'Shanter hat to match trimmed
ut the side with a quill. The deep cape
looks nice lined with silk to match the
ground color of the plaid. The paletot in
the second sketch is of fawn tweed with a
frilled collar lined with brown silk, and a
brown ribbon girdle. The felt hat is fawn,
trimmed with wings and ribbon the color
of the girdle
Lambs wool cloth in white, gray or light
blue is a good deal used for coats for quite
little children. The small boy in sketch 3
in the top row has on coat and hat made
of that material. For tiny girl the Pur-
tan costume in sketch 4 of the second row
is rather pretty. 1t may be made of Indian
cashmere or cancels hair cloth
The Puritan, the Charity and the
Smoked bonnet seem to be the favorite
shapes for little tots of two or three. These
are sketches 5, 6 and in the top row.

Fashion Echoes.

Box cloth is becoming fashionable ma
terial for ladies' jackets and cloaks.
Shetland shawls in picturesque colorings
are much used for driving and travelling
cloaks. The fringe forms suitable trim
ming for the front and hem.
Red is long way ahead of any other
color in millinery. Military red is the
shade that one sees on most of the new
models that have just come over from Paris.
Sequins appear to be favorite trim
ming. They are sprinkled over the crowns
and bonnets and sewn round the brim of
large hats to form border.
Round waists are still worn.

New Fashions in Shoes.

In order to be we'll dressed one must be
neatly shod. Englishwomen take no
pride in their feet. With French and
American women it is quite the other way.
They pay strict attention to the details of
dress. In the street one knows them at a
glance by their trim shoes and neatly fit
ting gloves.
A new boot which laces down the side
has been brought out and has the effect of
making the foot look smaller than when
laced in the ordinary way. Some of the
new walking shoes have patent fronts and
tanned leather tops. 1t is a new kind of

White muslin petticoats have given place
to colored skirts of silk, or of the less cost
ly zephyr cottons, Chambery or mohair.
They are two yards and a quarter wide at
the foot and are close gored at the top to
fit the figure smoothly in front and on the
hips, all the fullness being adjusted at the
back by drawing string; they are trimmed
with one or two scanty frills of scalloped
embroidery or of cambria with tucks and
insertion above hem. Short underpetti-
coats of muslin or cambria are closed in
the back, the front being faced like yoke
and the back furnished with a drawing

AFRICAN DWARFs.

A Curious Race That Has Existed in tho
Atlas Mountains for Thirty Centuries.
At the recent oriental congress most
fascinating subject was dealt with in q
paper by Mr.. Halliburton. 1t seems that
In the Atlas mountains, only few hun
dred miles from the Mediterranean, there
Is race of dwarfs under four feet high,
who are regarded with such superstitious
awe by the Moors that for some thirty CEN
turtles their existence was kept profound
secret Some of them, however, have APP
parently knocked about the world at odd
times as smiths, tinkers acrobats and
practicers of the light gypsy crafts; but
they have always avoided towns where
Europeans are. They shave their faces:
they are not good Mohammedans; some
say they are Christians, and some that
they worship "Didoo Isiri." 1t is possible
to connect branch Of them with the troy
lodytes of Herodotus, and to identify an
other with some dwarfs represented on the
monuments of the fourth dynasty of the
Pharaohs. Somewhere in the bowels of
Mount Atlas they seem to have run in pre-
historic times the Birmingham of the
bronze age. There are all kinds of stories
about them-to say nothing of the oldest
fact of all-that the surrounding peoples
decline to repeat the stories. These dwarf
races, whether in Central Africa or else
where, are no doubt responsible for many
of the legends about trolls, which in some
form or another are found all over the
world.
