HOW 10 CARE foR A MANS CLOTHES

Simple Rules That Everybody Knows.
but That Are worth Telling over.
1T is not a very difficult task TO take
care of ones clothes. said a man who,
though he has but moderate means,
appears well dressed. land il pays &C
do it, 1t is better TO have a number of
suits and 20 wear them off and on than
TO wear one suit continuously until you
are ready to lay il aside for another.
II you have say four suits. and change
every day or two. they will retain their
shape and freshness through a given
period better than four suits each worn
steadily during a quarter of that period.
when clothes are worn constantly
the creases in the coat sleeves and the
punches at the knees Of the trousers
become pronounced and confirmed,
and they annot be pressed out 70 that
they will stay out. II clothes are hung
up properly after wearing, their own
weight and the elasticity of the cloth
help to preserve their shape.
"A man should never hang up his

This is a slight Inconvenience, but it is

hang your trousers up by the straps,

About fifty years ago a British physi-
clan maintained that it must be con-
sidered questionable If the existence of
centeslarians had ever been established
by sufficient proofs. Modern statistics
have definitely removed that doubt
According to the census of 1890 Prussia
had Sc centenarians, including % per
sons who had attained an age of los
years and upward.
In Austria Including Hungary 12s
persons had passed their hundredth
year; in France, p; in Russia, POS.
The largest number Of Prussian cen
tenarians are found In Snesia and In
the Baltic province, while in Russia
longevity seems to increase southeast
of Moscow, a circumstance due either
to the free and easy life. comparatively

| have seen hundreds of BARRIERS

seen a eason given in print for men
parting their hair on the left side in
more than nine cases out of ten. /
talked the matter e with a physi-
clan once, and he said it might be only
a coincidence, but that at least nine
men out of ten sleep on their right
side, because by so doing digestion is
aided and the action of the heart is left
undisturbed.
That. | think, accounts for the nair
parting. because the warmth Of the side
of the headpressed into the pillow great
ly aids the growth of the hair, and a man
naturally parts his hair so as to brush
it in the direction of the greatest
growth. This also accounts for what
almost every one who has tried to keep
his mustache and beard evenly trimmed
must have noticed-that he has to trim
the right side more frequently than the
left. Warmth is the best hair tonic

THE BANK STATEMENT.

Saturday, Jan. Pap. m.
By the operations of the New-iork Sub-Ireasnry
in the week ended last night which included the
receipt OF 81 30, 600 for payments by other sun
Treasures the associated banks lost S26,7l7. The
weekly bank statement published to-day showed
an increase of S6,729,4OO cash This result was
not widely different from the known movement
of money, which has flowed to this centre from
all sections of the country. The previous state
mcnt, moreover, made on rising averages and
even now the actual condition Of the banks Is
undoubtedly better than the exhibit. The state
ment was not thoroughly consistent, however, be-
cause the increase in the item of deposits was
smaller by 81 $500 than the other changes
required. After correcting the opposite error last
week the discrepancy still amounted TO nearly
100000. This difference is too large TO be en-
planned by the theory of averages. 1t is TO he
regretted that the associated banks do not follow
a uniform system in making their weekly reports

THE WEATHER BUREAU FOOLED.
Melbourne Quietly Gets Up Rain and
spoils Signal Service Predictions.

Melbourne Quietly Gets Up q Rain and
spoils Signal Service Predictions
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct lit is be-
1ieved that Rainmaker Melbourne has
played a trick on the local Signal Service
observers, who are much mystifed over a
rain which fell here yesterday morning.
The indications for the past three days have
been clear and warmer. AT 6 o'clock there
was not cloud to be seen, but at $50 it was
pouring down rain, with heavy wind and
thunder At z o'clock it was clear and there
was no depression of the barometer. 1t is
now asserted that the rain was due entirely
to the efforts of Melbourne, the rainmaker,
who, it is alleged, has been working secretly
here for the past three days, and whose
work was crowned with success.
A dispatch from Topeka says: Governor
Humphrey is in receipt of letter from
Stockton, Cal, from an individual who
signs himself Michael Cahill, who says that
Melbourne, the rainmaker, is an imposter
and is infringing on his rights, he having
applied several years ago for patent on his
discovery. Cahill claims to have been 80
years in developing his discovery, and says
he laid the matter before the Australian
Government. when Melbourne discovered a
part of his secret. He says when the ground
is damp and the stratum of air next the earth
contains vapor, Melbourne's operations fail,
