Evolution OF tn. Dres. Coat.

Every part of the despised dress coat has
q reason for its popularity of shape. The
apparently foolish nick or slit at the juno
ton of the collar and facings on each side
dates from the time when men rode good
deal, and the coat collar must be frequently
turned up and the chest buttoned closely
over to meet the severity of sudden storms.
A division was made on each side of the
collar to permit this to he done, and the
present useless slit is the survivor of this
very needful predecessor. Not even the
buttons which adorn the small of ones
hack are mere vain ornament. In about
the year of 100 it began to be the custom
to gather in at the waist the sack like coat
of the period This was done by two but
tons sewn on over the hips, which were
attached TO loops set on at the edge of the
coat. Then as waists became permanent
fashion the loops were disused, and the
buttons, instead of being discarded, were
simply moved little further back; here
they attached new usefulness in support
ing the sword belt. Now that sword belts
are no longer worn, these two buttons
setm merely meaningless excrescence.
The very shape of the dress coat, which
has been so much and so often ridiculed,
is not an arbitrary fashion, but a natural
development. Starting from the ample
square-skirted coat of the close of the
Seventeenth century, itself a develop
ment, We next find the same coat with the
corners of the skirts buttoned together for
the convenience of riding; then the same
garment with the lap-corners cut off in
stead of buttoned up-the swallow tail of
the early years of the present century;
finally by very slight degeneration the
modern dress coat was produced.

How Monksys Are Caught.

A gentleman who returned recently
from Aspinwall tells the following story
Of the manner in which the natives Of the
interior of the Isthmus of Panama capture
monkeys.
almost all the pet monkeys In this
country" said he, come from Gorgona,
q small village half way on the line Of the
Panama railroad. The inhabits are most
ly native negroes, for no white man could
live in the village month unless he drank.

surrounding country is swampy and COW

tation. At nightfall thick miasma rises
from the ground and hangs over the forest.
like a cloud. This place Is the monkeys
paradise. They travel through the forest
troops, going wherever the king monkey,
leads When the natives have been ap-
prised of the presence of :he troop, they go
about warily to capture them. Their
plan is simple one. A hole is cut in the.
shell of a cocOanut large enough to admit
a monkeys paw. The cocoanut is scoOped
out and lump of sugar placed in the hol
low. A string is then attached to the
novel trap and the negroes conceal them
selves until the monkeys pass by. Curios-
ity is one of the chief characteristics of
these little creatures, and when they espy
the cocoanut lying upon the ground they
come down from the trees and proceed to
inspect it carefully. The lump of sugar
does not long escape their notice, and one
of them thrusts paw through the aperture
to grab it. With the lump of sugar clasped
IN his hand he finds it impossible to with
draw it, nor will his greedy nature allow
him to abandon his prize. The negroes
have no difficulty in drawing him nearer
to their ambush, the whole troop scamper
ing madly about him, chattering and
as only monkeys can. When
they have arrived within easy range a
large net is thrown out and they are made
prisoners. Twenty and thirty are frequent
iy captured at one haul. The natives sell
them to the employees of the Panama rail
road, who in turn dispose Of them to the
American market"

The Ramily Purse.

Gail Hamilton thus writes upon the do
nestle money question: The relation of
money is but one of the many relations
that should feel the benign and shaping
touch of woman. 1t Is chiefly important
because of its ministering power, because
it is servant of servants 70 its brethren. 1t
is not to be disposed of by setting up sep
arate purse. any more than by setting up
separate child. If man counts a woman
tit to be the mother of his children, it is
certain that she should be fit to expend
money for their rearing. If a man is
gentle and soft enough TO come into tender
contact with his little children, he must be
malleable enough to be shaped Alright IN
regard to the money that they and their
mother require. of course, if man is
overbrutal, and the mother oversilly, there
must be disaster, whether there be one
purse or twenty, or none. There may
well be women who have no sense about
money, just as there are women who do
not know how to bring up children. 1t is
defect of character. Such women are q
failure in proportion to their defects, and
their defective work, it can not be denied,
is evil. But if both husband and wife are
of tue common type, honest, sincere, de-
voted. and fairly sensible, patient, con-
tinuous. and not unlovely process of con-
sultatiOn and compromise will bring them
eventually into a clear understanding of
relative values.

PERFUM ES.
Women Who Pour Sweet-smelling Fluid
Into Their Ears.

Women Who Pour Sweet-Smelling Fluid
Into Their Ears.
1t is pleasure to note thk TIE indis-
criminate use of perfumes among men,
bers of the fair sex is rapidly decreasing,
and that the woman who employs triple
extracts with which to sprinkle herself has
become the exception rather than the rule
Like everything else, perfumes may be
legitimate or not, according to circum-
stances. Delicate odors, such as violet,
heliotrope, or orris-root, are always per-
missible, Just as patchouly and musk are
always to be Stunned. In any event, per
fume in the shape of sachet powder Is TO

cept one OF two English preparations. This
subtle, delightful scent was first used by the
Princess of Wales, and later by Mrs Lang
try, until it finally became the rage The
chemist, meanwhile, has made fortune.
A peculiar custom with fashionable wo-
men is to pour one or two drops into their
ears. Nobody nowadays ever thinks of
putting perfume on a handkerchief or
rubbing it on ones hands. Laces, under
wear. ribbons, nOte-paper, gloves, and all
small articles of dress are made fragrant
by large sachet-bags that are of size coz
responding to the bureau or dressing table
drawers. These bags are composed of silk
and lined with raw cotton, upon which
the powder is spread. This, in addition
to a very moderate use of q faint, sugges
tive odor, such as the wood violet. for in
stance, is all in the way of perfume that is
allowable by really refined woman. Par
isian dressmakers have a way of sending
perfumed gowns to their customers A
strange feature connected with this fashion
is the fact that the odor remains forever.
A lady of this city having purchased q
costume whose every fold bresthed the
most delicious perfume sent an order to
Paris for q sample of the scent employed.
The dressmaker forwarded to her by ex-

ally inquired the price of things before

I've Large Bears Killed and . Third ons
Wounded.
Says letter from Cuayamo, CAL: e.
Branch, E. Newson, and q young man
named Dain were invited to lion hunt
short time ago by Charles Blackburn. an
old hunter living in the Santa Barbara
canyon. In due time they presented them
selves at Mr.. Blackburn's home, fully
armed and accompanied by . large pack
of hounds. The next morning early they
started for hunting grounds. They hadn't
gone very far before the road they had
taken led them into deep canyon, with
narrow, precipitous Sides, They had pro
ceeded about two miles In this gorge when
they heard something breaking through
the brush just q little way ahead. The
dogs. too, set up terrible bowling and
barking, and it seemed as If q veritab!e
pandemonium had broken loose. The old
hunter had undergone complete
metamorphosis in about second. He
was now as young and as spry as any of
them, and in twinkling was upon the
ground with his horse safely tied to tree.
His companions was ordered to follow his
example, and in an instant the entire party
had their horses securely fastened and
their weapons ready for instant use. And
they were not ready any two soon, for just
at this moment three large grizzlies passed
about forty yards above them in the
canyon. As quick as wink Mr.. Black
burn gave the order to fire, and one of the
bears bit the dust while the other two were
only severely wounded. One Of these
started down the hill towards the hunters.
The old hunter coolly stood his ground
until bruin got where there could be no
miscalculation and fired. and the grizzly
came rolling down to the very feet of the
hunters. The old mans blood was now
up, and setting the dogs after the remain
ing bear and calling to his bodyguard to
follow, he started up the ravine, After q
hot chase of half an hour up and down the
hillside, through the brush and around
powders, half the time crawling on ali
fours. Mr.. Blackburn gave the order to
halt and said: well, boys, he is not
very large one, but he can bite hard all the
same, and think we had better turn back
and attend to what we have killed
already"

Little Edith,s Ministratfon,

A touching little incident comes to us of
a young mother who was hopelessly i'll,
but quite unconscious of her condition.
One afternoon her physicians held con-
sultatiOn, and afterward announced the
sad fact that she had but short time to live
to the husband and the sister of the
patient. The four exchanged opinions as
TO the wisdom of telling her, and were
quite unmindful of little Edith, the only
child of the dying woman, years old, who
was busily playing with her dolls, apparent
ly unsconcious of what was going on about
her. But in a few minutes the little Edith
left her toys, walked slowly up stairs, and
went directly to her mothers room. With
the aid of chair she placed herself on the
bed at her mothers side, when she kissed
the wan cheek and asked in slow and ten
der tones: Mamma are YOU 'faid to die?'
The mother was startled by the question
and hesitatingly asked: WHO told you?

mamma, you needn't he 'faid at ALL hold

directed, the two hands tightly clasped
for few minutes, and when the members
of the family re-entered the room the child
looked up and said: Il helped dear
