Wig and Gown.

1t was once the invariable practice of
barristers to powder their wigs, but this
custom has now almost entirely disap-
peared from the bar. Only one advo-
cate, SO far as we are aware, saves it
from absolute death, and he is Sir Henry
James, whose black shoulders are always
sprinkled with the white powder that
falls from his wig. This distinguished
lawyer shows that wig and gown may
be worn in more ways than one. His
gown never fails to slip from his shoul-
ders while he is addressing the court,
and he is accustomed to herald each
fresh argument he brings to bear upon
the case by attempting to restore the
fallen gown to its proper place.
In this respect he resembles another
eminent @. c., Mr.. Finlay, whose gown
is always half way down his back. Sir
Charles Russell and Sir Richard Web
ster and the other leaders of the bar do
not display any peculiarities in the wear
ing of their wigs and gowns. There is at
least one well known member of the bar
who, not content with permitting his
gown to slip down to his waist, wears his
wig at an angle that perilously approaches
his nose.-London Tit-Bits.

A Radical Reform.

At the last dinner of the Dartmouth
club Professor Hardy described the only
serious collision he had ever had with
any member of his many classes.
An undergraduate came into the lee.
ture room one day clad in an outra-
geously wild and woolly costume-to wit,
cowhide boots with trousers tucked into
their tops, flannel shirt, no necktie or
coat and only one suspender. Professor
Hardy, after the close of the recitation,
spoke to him about his attire, rightly
enough thinking that the principles of
ethics were quite as important as those
of mathematics.
The next time the class met the young
man appeared armed cap-a-pie in what
Mr.. Hardy called "all the concomitants
of modern civilization" suit, pat
ent leather shoes, white tie. boutonniere
and, in short. all the ''fxings."
81 had never seen," said Mr.. Hardy,
"a more remarkable instance of turning
the other cheek when the one had been
smitten."
However, the young man probably
felt, as few minutes afterward he stood
at the blackboard endeavoring to explain
a somewhat advanced problem which
the professor craftily set for him. and
which in the best of circumstances was
likely to consume considerable amount
OF time, that evening clothes were not
very we'll adapted to the ordinary affairs

A Apeculiar case of poisoning is reported
from the Sristle Ridge neighborhood,
north Of Crawfordsville, Ind. At large
party new tangled kissing game was
introduced, which proved very popular.
The young men on arriving drew strings
of variegated colors from box and then
selected girls whose dresses matched
this string. The young granger then
took one end of the string in his mouth
and the girl attached her face in sim
liar way to the other. Both then chewed
up the string until they were mouth to
mouth, when several kisses were ex-
changed. At the party in question the
person coloring the strings had used
dyes which were not fast and the colors
ran. Several were poisoned very seri-
ously, and it is feared that one or two
casesmay result fatally. Chicago News.

wife and children, haven't your said
Mrs. Keedick to a friend as the two were
riding together in a street car. al
Ssh! Don't speak quite so loud" re-
piled the latter in frightened sort of a
whisper But the admonition was lost
on Mrs. Keedick, who continued in
somewhat louder tone: HW8
''I believe it is all true toe. They say
he's SO stingy that he won't give his wife
a single dollar unless she just literally
pleads for it, and then he throws it to
her much as a miser would throw bone
to dog"
"Please don't speak quite so loud"
replied Mrs. Keedick's auditor.
"Mrs. Snodgrass hasn't had q new
bonnet in two years." the speaker went
on, without lowering her tone, land it
must be much longer than that since
she had the pleasure of ordering new
gown. Before I'd put up with such
nonsense I'd make my husbands life a
burden to him! 1t isn't as though the
skinfint couldn't affordit. He's far bet
ter off than your husband or mine, and
yet he treats that sweet woman who
was fool enough to marry him in that
cruel fashion"
"A little lower tone, please" nudged
the listener, but Mrs. Keedick's voice
was just as loud as she kept on:
Its the same way with the children.
They can't go to school because they
haven't clothes fit to wear. He's as cross
as bear to them too. Seems to resent
their presence on the same earth with
him. How do pity the poor things,
and especially at this time of the yearl
It's mighty sorrowful Christmas they
will have unless the neighbors take up
collection for them"
There came another nudge from Mrs.
Keedick's friend, and just then man
who sat near signaled the conductor to
stop, and he got out.
The nudger heaved a sigh of relief.
"That was Mr.. Snodgrass himself, and
I'm so afraid he heard what you said"
"Yes," replied Mrs. Keedick calmly.
II knew it was the miserable, mean
man, and 1 intended that he should
know just what people think of his
meanness. I'm in hopes it will do him
good and make life more bearable for
his wife and children"
And Mrs. Keedick smiled sweetly as
she bade her friends good afternoon and
left the car.-Brooklyn Life.

PhiladelphIa,s waltaipE Mice.

Lately the employees at the Philadel-
phia Geological garden have been amused
by the antics of some queer little animals
which are not on public exhibition. The
newcomers are black and white Japa-
nese waltzing mice, seven in number.
When let out of their cages, they wink
at each other and step gracefully forward
with movement which some of the be-
holders declare is bow. Head Keeper
Manley whistles "Annie Rooney" and
the mice skip away in pairs with aqueer,
whirling motion. When he strikes up
"The Bowery, they revolve so fast that
nothing can beseen but little gray balls.
"Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay" causes them to
"swing corners" and dance "all hands
around" Once the owner ventured to
play the "Dead March" while they were
dancing. With a whisk of their tails
the little rodents fled to the cages like
man pursued by the nightmare.-Phila-

elliott collection In 1S72-Gillott with
two "ns" and two "t's"; "all others are

the great Turner in the crankie of his
moods and tanned him by the music of

he glanced in real awe around the great
artists studio, where paintings were
stacked as If in brokers' shop.

have few. And the penmaker carried

And now these priceless Turner's were
exhibited at Christie's, where all the
world fioclIed to see them, with other
fine pictures of the modern school. 1t

prosperity, and Pactolus seemed to have
been turned into the British isles, and

important 10000, 900 or so, had plenty of

A Valuable Ba.ssray Collsollon.

1t Is as good as settled that the collec-
ton of butterflies, moths and other en-
tomologicals alsspeoimens which belonged
to the late Harry Edwards, the actor,
will soon be exhibited as the property Of
the American Museum of Natural His
tory, New York. The required $4,000
has been pledged, and as soon as it is all
paid in the valuable collection will be
transferred by Mrs Edwards to the
museum. No one knows precisely how
many specimens are in tho collection,
for there is no record of hundreds and
thousands of minute specimens. The
collection has been given in round num-
bers at 0,000 specimens. A count of
each case is to be made before being
placed on exhibition, and those who have
examined the collection believe that
there are nearer800 900 than ESQ, 900. The
collection Is one of the most complete In
the world, and there are no private col
lections which approach 1t in number
and variety. Three times Mr.. Edwards,
accompanied by Mrs. Edwards, travelled
around the world In his professional en-
gagements, and each time he made an
especial effort to add TO his collection.
He secured specimens from every por-
ton of the globe. In all lands he visited
Mrs. Edwards went with him, and,
with him, was interested in the work,
Often they made long expeditions into
the jungles and forests, they visited mu-
seums, they studied books. Many ex-
changes were made by Mr.. Edwards
with other collectors, and in his oollec-
ton are many gifts from museums in

a stratum Of mud and herbage about 8
inches thick lays another set OF eggs
upon that, and so on to the top, there
