never quite gone out of fashion.
In his essay on "Alan and Coats"
1nackery drolly declares that man
in Jacket is a man. All great men
wear Jackets. Walter Scott wore n
Jacket, as everybody knows. Byron

lyle wears Jacket; old John Russell
always mounts n Jacket on arriving

reminds his readers that jackets have
their dangers. A man who wears one

neckerchlef, or OF not shaving"
AS for the Jessamy, or the beau Or
the dandy or the dude, whichever he
may be called, he is always pretty
much the same. The late Mr.. Car
lyle would probably agree that the
swell undergoes little modification. 1t
is the clothes and the title that
change. In 1871 the London swells
were mimicking Paris and Rome,
while the New York swells mimicked
London. In that year there was
heavy gambling at the British capital
and much. scandal over it. In New
York there were few shocking places
on very quiet plan, where the fast
set could be found. Bat London has
not yet forgotten certain very recent
gaming scandals, and even New York
is not wholly reformed. Tailors' bills
still 20 unpaid, though n great adj
vance has been made in methods OF
inducing dressy men to pay what
they owe.

Electrified Raindrops.

Strange stories are frequently told

nature this is the most capable Of
eccentric manifestation.
Maurice Despres, an electrical engi

electrified raindrops which he witness

Mr.. Despres heard them crackle as

approached them.
The phenomenon lasted only q few
seconds, and ceased as the rain be.
