In our great display Of
Spring Suits, VIC this season
make an extraordinary show
ing in the lines at the popu.
lar prices Of $40, S12 and
$15. We have frequently
been asked if the $40 suits
are made with the same care
and attention that mark the
extra fine suits at from SIC
to %! Our answer is yS 90.
The cut is just as artistic,
that graceful set which
marks all our clothing is
there, the sewing is just as
| accurate and as strong. The
difference is entirely III the
cost of material. In fact, at
$40, $12 and $l5 we give
more real actual value thar
any other house in America.
What we have said about
real excellence holds just as
true in the Boys and Chill
dren's department as it does
III mems clothing. Always
full value, often far more fol
the money than you can gel
elsewhere.

Sctit-Wa iktn0.

The custom OF walking upon stills
dates from the earliest times, and in
the art there have been some dis.
tinguished professors who have at.
tanned q remarkable degree of prof.
cheney. Some OF them are said to
have danced upon a tight rope like
regular acrobats.
In the eighteenth century, at Ma
muir, in France, silt combats were O.
favorite game among the young men.
Most of these silt fights took place
during the fetes of the carnival and
other great occasions. The Marechal
Sake vas in 1748 entertained with
one OF these Journeys.
rive or Six hundred young men
were divided into two opposing bands,
formed themselves into brigades,
wearing costumes of different colors,
and advanced against each other.
The stills We're about fouI ieet high.
Tie combatants carried 70 weapons
it was against the rules to do So
they had their elbows and their stills,
10y q vigorous use OF which they did
their best to place their enemies hors
de combat. The struggle often lasted
for two hours, the combatants sway
ing from side to side, advancing, re-
treating, crOuching towards the earth,
or sprlnging up to avoid a well-aimed
blow. The battles often waxed hot
and furious, but did not by any
means necessarily result in the death
OF those engaged in it. AS long as it
lasted the flags Of the rival factions
f1oated from the windows ofthe town
hall. The spectators, many OF them
women, did all they could by their
presence, cries, and gestures to excite
the combatants to further exertions.
From one OF their silt fights the
Namurois won q privilege the impor-
lance Of which they have never ceased
to appreciate The Archduke Albert
OF Austria at his entrance into the
Low Countries was greeted by the
Governor OF Namur, who promised to
bring before him "two trooDs of war
riors, who, without being either on
foot Or on horseback, would afford
him the spectacle of a new
mode of fighting" The archduke was
so much charmed with the exhibition
that he accorded to the inhabitants
OF the town the privilege of being ex-
empt p%erpetually from the duties on
beer.
In Gascony, the Landes shepherds
used stills sc as to be sufficiently
highly perched to be able to survey
their tlocks scattered among the
heath and brushwood. The stills
they used were very high; they mount
ed them early in the morning, and
did not quit their elevated position
until evening. In order to get upon
them, they climbed the roof Of a
stable or the window of a house.
The stills we're furnished with rests
like stirrups for the feet, and the
lower ends were shod with bone, to
keep the wood from being worn down
or broken. They were attached to
the thigh in such a way as to permit
the knees being. freely bent. Each
man was further provided with a long
pole, which he used for climbing up to
his position, and for support when he
wished to rest. These shepherds
moved with wonderful agility, clearing
hedges and wide bitches without diff

WASHINGTON A DANDY,

a letter Of INSTRUCTION to His Tailor
13OZears Ago.
Here is a lstter written by George
Washington to his tailor in London
lie seems to have been somewhat OF u
dandy:
"VIkGINlA, 25th, April, 1763.-Mr,
Lawrence. be pleased to send me u
senteele suite OF cloaths, made of gu.
perine broad cloth, handsomely
~chosen;-I should have inclosed you
my measure, but, in a general way
they are so badly taken here, that
ON convinced it would be OF little
service; l would have you, therefore,
take measure of q gentleman who
wears we'll made cloaths of the follow
ing size, 30 wit: Six feet high, and
proportionately made; if anything,
rather slender than thick for person
OF that highth, with pretty long arms
and thighs. You will take care to
make the breeches longer than those
you sent last, and l would have you
keep the measure OF the cloaths you
now make by you, and il any altera-
ton is required in my next, it shall be
"ointed out. Mr.. Carp will pay your

GEORGE WASHINGTON.
ITO Mr.. Charles Lawrence,
'Taylor, in old Fish street, London"
AS Wasli 'gton was 81 ID 1763, his
heigt'S, as "a states it, viz, 8 feet, is
apparently at variance with the popu-
lar belief that he was SIX feet 2 inches;
but it may be that some popularity,
either Of Es length OF limb or his
body, caused him to tell his tailor to
measure a Gentleman Of only 6 feet,
assured the by some slight difference
op his part 'rn other men, he may
have exactly the correct difference.
He was SO correct in all his directions
that this seems the only elucidation
Of the discrepancy.

There's nothing left
of Catarrh, when you use DR.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy. With the poison
Gus, irritating snuffs and strong,
caustic solutions, q good deal IS
left. They may, perhaps, stop it
for a time, but there's danger of
driving it to the lungs. They work
on false principles.
But DR.. Sage's Remedy cures it,
no matter how bad the case, or of
how long standing. Not only Ca
tarrh itself, but Catarrhal Headache,
Cold in the Head everything
catarrhal in it's nature. The worst
cases yield to its mild, soothing,
cleansing and healing properties.
So will yours. You may not be-
lieve it, but the proprietors of DR..
Sage's Remedy ito.
And to prove it they make you
this offer:
If they can't cure you, they'll
pay you $500 in cash. It's a bust
ness proposition from a responsible
house.
But do you think they'd make
it if they, and you, couldn't depend
upon their medicine?

HE LIVED ON SNAKES.
And at Last the. Old Man Died
E g Tharo

And at Last the Old Man Died O.
One OF the characters who is widely
known in Ozark, Ark, forhis oddities,
is an old man who makes q speciality
OF catching snakes. In fact, he lives
on the reptiles and says that he never
eats any other meat. From the fat
he makes and sells oils, and the skins
he pleats into cords and neckties oil
odd design. His apparent immunity
from danger as he handled the snakes
gave the people the idea that he bore
a charmed. life, and he went by the
name of ''Snake Doctor"
He claimed that no snake would
bite him, and if it did it would do him
no harm no matter how deadly it's
poison. He had picked up rattle
snakes, cotton mouths, and spread
ing adders as if they were perfectly
harmless, and he was never bitten.
His career has now been cut short,
however, by an attempt to catch q
cotton mouth, or blowing adder,
which lived in a marsh nearthis town.
The snake had been there so long and
had grown SO large that it became
recognized as one OF the regular sights
Of the country.
1t is we'll known that the cotton
mouth is n Of the most deadly
snakes of this country, and the fact
that this particular snake took up
his abode in the swamp was sufficient
to make the place one Stunned by all,
especially children. When the snake
doctor came to this place the snake
had just been seen. Everybody was
commenting on its enormous size, and
this had the effect OF making the old
fellow say that he wanted that par
ticular snake to eat and would give the
skin to one of his friends ais a favor in
return for some, little assistance.
Going to the swamp the snake was
found without trouble and instead of
going away the serpent simply threw
out its ball of cotton and crawled
slowly toward the doctor. Walking
bodily to the reptile the man stopped
to grasp the reptile behind the head
when it suddenly drew back and
struck him full in the face and before
he could recover struck twice again.
So deadly was the poison that the
man died within two hours of the
wound.
