New Clothes in Six Hours.

From the New York Journal,
"Do you know how quickly man
can get an outfit in New York;" said
a man about town yesterday. II
mean his outside apparel is, a
suit of clothes, a hat and pair of
shoes. Within six hours a man can
order these things. have them made
and have them on {.
1t was a rather remarkable state
ment, yet it is borne out by fact.
Aman can order complete suit of
clothes and in five hours they will be
finished. The cutting requires some
thing less than an hour. An EXPERT
trousers-maker turns out a pair OF
pnntaloons in one hour and thirty
minutes. A vest can be made in
about the the same time. The coat
is the most difficult part of the suit
to make, and it requires three men
about Jour hours to complete it.
As a rule, in this lightning manu-
facture of clothing, two men or ore
work upon the same garment. OF
course, the Innings. straps, etc. are
all prepared, and there are dozen
little tricks to save time. For In
stance, the buttons of the trousers
are pasted instead of sewed. There
are at least a, dozen tailors in New
York, who will make suit OF clothes
and deliver it within six hours after
it is ordered.

And What Profits.

Matching the stories Of valuable and
unappreciated oil paintings sold for a
song is one concerning miraculous
transaction in Sevres china. Early in
the past century gentleman presented
a reverend friend with two vases as a
wedding present. These vases stood
for more than forty years on cabinet
in a Somersetshire rectory, without
attracting any particular notice, until
a sale took place after the owners
death, at which they were bought for
2 guineas by a tradesman in Bath.
Within a week they resold for 600
guineas to a Bond street dealer who
speedily disposed of them to the late
Lord Derby fer 4, 900 guineas.

1t Should Re AdODted.

Some years ago an inventor thought
of the idea of an .'order board'' to be
hung up in the kitchens OF private
houses. The boards bore columns of
the names of articles in the commonest
use, with a hole opposite each name
and lot OF movable pegs to put in the
holes against whatsoever articles the
housewives needed to keep up a work
ing supply. The invention may have
sold well or it may not, but now the
grocers are buying them and distribut-
ing them to their customers, because,
as one grocer puts it, ''they save hours
of waiting while women try to think of
what they need, as well as the extra
trips which used to follow the gradual
working of each customers memory.

Sleeping in Cold Rooms.
From the German.

From the German.
1t has been said that Queen Vic
toria sleeps in unheated rooms, and
that in frosty weather she has the
windows of all her living open,
SO that guests visiting Windsor must
be chilly.
This has called attention to the
memoirs of Caroline Pichler. which
tell that the Empress Maria Theresa
possessed a similar popularity. The
mother of Caroline Pichler before her
marriage was reader to Maria The
resa, and she also assisted the En-
press with her toilet. She relates the
following:
The Empress being a large. stout
ly-built woman, warmth was not
agreeable to her. She did not allow
her apartments to be warmed. SIZE
had no fear of draughts; she did not
know what rheumatism was. In
wintertime the window was often
open beside her writing table and
wind would blow the snow in on the
paper from which I was reading to
her.
1.-The Empress went to see a process
sion on Corpus Christi Day. 1t took
place under the hot sun in Vienna,
and she returned to Schebrum over
heated. She threw off her outer gar
ments and sat with a dressing man
tel around her in the middle of her
dressing room, Of which the windows
and opposite doors were open to
cause draught. Then the Empress
drank lemonade and ate iced straw
berries, and while doing so, in order
to lose no time, she had her beautiful
long hair brushed.
Service to the Empress was often
very painful during the winter, as
one had to work with cold hands
and the body would shake with the
cold, while the Empress did not seem
to feel anything OF it,

What the Balloon has Done.

The proportion of ballo on accidents
to successful descents has, on the.
whole, been smaller than should have
been anticipated. Blanchard, the
first to take up ballooninfes. as a vo-.
cation, died in his bed in 1909, after
having made sixty-six ascents with
out accident. Many ascents have
been made in the cause of science:
and the names of Green. who made
over 400 ascents; of John Wise,
who made the distance from ST..
Louis, Mo-, to Jefferson County, n.
Y, 1900 miles, in twenty hours; of
Gay Lussac and Blot, who in 1904
made a most valuable series OF me-
neurological and physical observa-
tions at the height Of 1000 feet; Of
Glaisher, who rose to $4,000 feet
with the aeronaut Coxwell; and es-
peciallv, recently, of the brothers
Tissandier-all these are familiar to
every one.
In 1874, the balloon was used for
military purposes by Gen. Jourdan,
who secured continual observation of
the Australian movements, and thus
gained the battle of Fleury. The
French are also reported to have
used the same method in the battle
of Solferino. A balloon corps was
organized by Gen. Mcclellan at the
outbreak of our own Civil War,
1861; and the USE of balloons was
one Of the regular means of obtain
ing information of the movements of
the enemy. During the seige of Paris,
the balloon became the only means
of sending dispatches out of the be-
leagured city, and proved to be very
reliable. Of all the balloons sent out
from Paris, over sixty in number,
but three were lost; and they prob
ably simply because they were de-
spatched at night, to avoid the risk
from the fire of the enemy, which, as
the event proved, was far less danger
Gus than darkness. Every govern
ment probably now has a balloon
corps-Prof. R. II. Thurston in the
Forum.

that they cannot return to the normal
when they would, whatever the effort
made. That dog worship is a fashion is
shown by the fashionable women who
regularly appear in the parks and public
drives with tiny dogs on their laps or
nesting against their bosoms.
Often these women are unmarried.
They give to dogs the care, the tender
ness, the devotion they would give to
babies had they borne them. 1t is plain

of the Domesticated Horse.


The horse was probably first domes.
ticated on the plains Of Central Asia.
This must have been at a very remote
period, for on the sculptured monuments
Of ancient Assyria we find highbred,
carefully caparisoned steeds given in adj
mirable outline, showing how familiar
and how favorite an object the horse
must have been to the Assyrians. The
name is long and flowing Or curled OF in
t~assels. Three horses abreast drew the
chariot in which were three warriors.
Saddle horses led by grooms or bearing
horsemen are delineated, sometimes in
the thick of battle.
The horse was doubtless introduced
into Egypt as late as the time of Hyksos,
and sculptured representations Of it are
often conventional types peculiar to later
Egyptian art. Instead of the life and
energy displayed by the Assyrian horse,
there is a rather weak attempt to repre-,
sent l:fe and energy and the effect pro
duced is mechanical. Probably the horse
Of the Delta did not compare in beauty
or speed with the Assyrian horse. Ber-
jean says he WA more like the Dutch
horse Of our day.-Caroline K. Sherman

County Commissioner Tolman has an
unique tea service. 1t includes not only
the usual articles of a set-the tray, plat
ter, butter dish, sugar bowl, cream
pitcher, cup and saucer, but also a caster,
supplied with the usual cruets-the whole
made of wood. Two kinds of wood, black
walnut and white wood, were employed
in their manufacture, and the c~Ontrasted
colors, which appear in even the covers
of dishes and tops of cruets, have a beau
tiful effect. The whole service is as use
full as any made of ~crockery, and was
made by a skilled woodworker while
confined in the county jail. He agreed
to make them for Mr.. Tolman i: the lat

The walking and climbing leaves Oh
Australia were for over half a century
considered the greatest of natural won.
ders. a party of sailors wandered inland
and sat down to rest under a tree. A
great wind shook to earth several dead
and brown leaves. These presently be
gan to show signs of life and crawl to.
ward the trunk, which they ascended.
and attached themselves to their respec
tive twigs.
Hence the sailors, who promptly raj
away, said the place was bewitched. But
the simple fact turned out to be that the
so called 'leaves" were really leaf shaped
insects, having long, pendulous legs
which could be folded out of sight, and
possessing the chameleon like power OF

become brown. The writer of this was

How a ~Disgruntled Actor Got Even with
the Great Hamlet.
Edwin Booth. despite his reputation
for being cold and unapproachable, has
& humorous side and can tell a funny
story, even when it's on himself. with a
solemnity that is refreshing.
A member Of the tragedian's company
relates the following: He once told me
about a western experience Of his in the
fiftics. Booth was then the star of a
certain stock company playing the Cali
fOrrla towns. It was rough out there
then, and the same company did every
thing from Hamlet to a song.and dance
all at the same theater and often with
in the same week.
In this company there was a young
man Of much histriOnic talent, who, pre-
vious to the advent Of Booth, played the
leading roles, but who was thrown into
the shade by the new star. Jealousy and
hot words followed. The manager and
the disappointed tragedian were contin-
ualiv at wal over the distribution OF
parts.
when the time for producing Ham,
let arrived it was found that the cast
would necessarily muster into act every
one + ON the ticket seller to the lamp
man. The long suffering manager had
resolved to punish the recalcitrant actor,
and he was given the part of Guilden-
stern.
There was some mutteling, but all
went well enough until the opening
night. The house was filed. The
scenery was crude, and for that matter
SO was the audience, but the applause
was generous. Things reached a climax
in the second scene Of the third act,
where Rosencranz and Guildenstern are

madness of Hamlet.
