A FAMOUS FoP.
The beginning ana Ending Of Beau Bram-
melrs Career.


melrs Career.
Who was beau BrummellP" is quos.
ton frequently asked nowadays
"Beau Brummell," as many people
know, was fop whose elegant impu-
dence made him for time favorite
with George w, Of England and his
court His fashionable career began
about the dawn of tho nineteenth cent
ury, and he died in 1910, He was dandy
of peculiar tastes and habits, and had
so much influence with the English
monarch that he led him into the great
est extravagances in dress. In the
earlier part of his career Brummell
dressed much as the fops of to-day
bedeck themselves; that is, he affect
ed variety and contrast and be-
slowed upon colors but little attention
beyond wearing them in profusion. In
the zenith of his, influence, however, no
manifested the highest taste for har-
mony in color and texture, and in the
latter days of his glory was an anomaly
among exquisites. Beau Brummell
wore iewelry in plenty when he was a
very young leader of fashion, but OBJ
serving that this habit was equally
aped by cooks and other servants Of his
associates, he soon eschewed from any
except fob with bunch OF seals, key,
etc., gold shoe and knee buckles. The
youthful aristocracy Of England did
not take very kindly to covering their
persons with golden trlnkets or fash
ing gems, and as it was tho aristocracy
of England that Brummell was ambi-
tious to lead, he abandoned jewelry, and
set an example of simplicity in this sort
OF decoration in strong contrast to the
lavishness of the Elizabethan period
which he had at first undertaken to re-
vive. Such il.hlence did Brummell ex-
crit on the dress Of the King and his
retnue that he was often consulted by
the ruler concerning his costumes, and
such was his impudently-assumed dig
nifty that the King did not summon him
to the palace to consult his tastes, but
was obliged to visit the dandy in his
chambers, and was generally induced to
stay and to pay for superb dinner for
tho two A similar exercise of his indie
pendence, his dignity and his wits upon
the Kings court enabled him to eventu-
ally live without an income and with
out means of self-support lie obtained
credit easily because tailors and
others whose business it was to execute
his tastes, for the people of consequence
could not we'll afford to incur his dis
pleasure. Brummeil, however, like
many other royal favorites, fell into
disgrace and was banished to France.
He got in debt whenever he could in
Calais and Caen, and finally landed in
prison as a result He was insane neal
the close of hislife and died in extreme
poverty.
Among his effects were found NINA
ture shaving dish of silver, gold ring
and several silver spoons. Except the
miniature, which was delivered to the
English Vice-Consul, these articles
were retained by Brummelrs landlord
in liquidation of an unpaid balance

A wasp-Nest ycnt,lator.

An English gentleman lately took
small wasps nest, about the size OF an
apple, and, after Supplying its inmates,
placed it in a largo case inside of his
house, leaving an opening for egress
through the wall. Here tho nest was
enlarged to foot in diameter, holding
thousands of wasps, and he was able to
watch their movements, and noted one
new fact-namely, their systematic at
tention to ventilation. In hot weather
from four to six wasps were continually
stationed at the hole of egrcss, and,
while leaving space for entrance or exit,
created steady current of fresh air by
the exceedingly rapid motion Of their
wings. After long course of this Wig
orous exercise the ventilators were re.
lieved by other wasps. During cool
weather only two wasps at a time were
usually thus engaged. Golden Days.

Abolished.

AT the annual dinner of the Bowdoin
Alumni resident in Boston, held in that CITY
Wednesday night, DR.. F. 81. Gerrish of '66,
President of the Portland Association. was
presented as representing more particularly
the medical department Of the collge. He
touched tender chord Of recollection 10 the
minds Of some of those present in Old Phi
Chi, famous war song with Bowdoin men
OF twenty years ago, and one which is sung
with much gusto by recent graduates as
well. He referred to his own request for
the abolition of the Board of 0Verseers and
the placing of the power of administration
in the trustees to be chosen by the alumni.
This, he said. had not met with much APP
prevail from the Overseers, as was to have
been expected. he thought that the present
method was too cumbersome, and that
dozen trustees could better do the work of
perhaps forty overseers. Large committees as
a rule accomplished but little in any organ
ization. DR.. Gerrish thought that the sug-
gestion which he had made was good one
and would succeed in creating greater in
terest among the graduates. The alumni
should make demand upon the overseers TO
be allowed the nomination for all vacancies
to that board instead of half, and should
bring pressure upon them to make them
honor these nominations. He also thought
that there were enough ministers upon the
board, and that next May the alumni should
rally for the man who failed Of an election
