The excellence of our SIo
and SIP Mems Overcoats is
manifest.
The sale of them has been
enormous-away ahead of our
anticipations. The continued,
pressing demand says-not
enough to see US through the
season. So another lot of each
has been made and placed on
our tables.
It's of interest to you as a
buyer, first, that in spite of the
general dullness of trade, we
are forced to manufacture
more. Second, that our prices
on the Overcoats are from So
to 81 lower than they are sold
for elsewhere.
The Overcoat at $Io is an
All-wool Beaver, single or
double-breasted, Blacks, Blues,
Browns, TanS and Drabs.

Bottled Beer.

Bottled beer, especially that prepar-
ed for export, is stronger in alcohol
than draught beer, and much of the
American beer sent away borders close
upon pale ale. 1t has been discovered
too, that some, at least. Of such beer
does not suffer by transit in ship. A
United States ship now in port has
on board some beer, now nearly nine
months old, which has made two
voyages across the Atlantic and is not
the worse for its travels.

In the Act of Robbing a Bank.

Those who were in the Cambridge
port National bank Thursday after
noon saw a man who a few years
ago was considered one of the most
notorious bank robbers in the coun-
try. The man WAS Langdon w.
Moore, and one Of his most success
full robberies was the stealing of
$4,000 in bonds and money from
that very bank.
In few words Moore made known
his errand to the officers of the bank.
He is writing book, and it is to be
Illustrated with pictures of some of
the most successful of his daring
robberies. Having gained the re-
quired permission, Moore took the
same position that he did on the &C.
casion Of the robbery many years
ago, the bank now being arranged
practically the same as then. A
young man took the place of his ac-
complice, and another took the pic

The Fee Question In England.

In discussing what to Give When
Visiting" a writer in a London paper
brings out some curious history Of
old time English feeling
I'm town" he says, 1.-The feeling sys-
tenn is certainly on the decline. For
merly fees were given under the
name of walls to servants by dinner
guests and ball guests and even by
luncheon guests. This is now quite
a thing of the past. Fashionable so
ciety does not give and is not expect
ed to give. The middle classes, how
ever, still retain this old fashioned
custom-they give their crowns and
half crowns to the parlor maids, and
even mention this when engaging
them. I often give luncheon par
ties remarks an old lady to an ap-
plicant for her situation, and you
will find my friends are very gener-
ous.'
"Such trif1ing fees, however, could
not be looked upon as a tax, but
they were trouble, and they have
fallen into abeyance. At the thea
ters the feeling system is rapidly dis
appearing, to the great satisfaction
Of the public, who feel that quite
enough is charged for seats without
having to pay to be shown into

Treatment Of watches.

That q watch may keep good time,
says Chambers's Journal, it should be
carefully treated; 1T should be wound
at the same time daily, and when not
worn should be placed in the same
position, always hung up, or always
laid down, as every watch goes differ
emily In different positions. In watches
having a double case, the outer one
should never be left open. If it is left
open even for one night the glass Is
covered with q thin film Of dust, which
will gradually enter the works through
even the tiniest openings in the case.
Watches should be wound in the
morning, because a spring fully wound
up will more readily overcome the dis
turbances produced by the movements
of the wearer. Springs will not break
SO easily il watches are carefully
wound up and not taken out of warm
pocket and placed directly against a
cold wall or on a marble slab; for that
reason a protective mat is desirable.
The changes of the oil, the variations
In temperature, the density and humid
ity Of the air, all greatly affect the
going of a watch, and 1t Is only the
lever watch of the most perfect finish
which almost neutraliZes those adverse
Influences. No watch keeps perfectly
correct time. Even the best chronome-
ters. used in observatories and on board
ships. must be regulated according TO
tables which fix the variations to which
watches are subject.
A watch should be cleaned every two
or three years. In time the Oil decom.
poses, gets mixed with the particles OF
dust which enter the works OF even
the best-closing watch, begins to act
as a grinding material, and wears out
the working parts. 1t frequently hap
pens that a watch requires cleaning
cstener than once in two years, espec'
fally If 1t closes badly or is exposed to
much dust and dirt. ANY one who has
the misfortune to drop his watch into
water should take it at once to the
matchmaker, to have it tNlen to pieces
and cleaned; a delay Of even an hour
may spoil the watch forever.

Greece May Yet Become Powerful.

Manhood suffrage is an unstable
foundation for government; yet in
Greece, where the population is al
most exclusively agricultural and,
except in Thessaly, peasant proprie-
tary is universal, there is less cause
to apprehend those furious gusts of
popular feeling which affect people
crowded together in great industrial
centers. If military and naval ex-
penditure-especially the latter, for
which in a country without colonies
there ought to be no pressing neces-
sity-can be kept within reasonable
limits, there is good cause to hope
that the new kingdom will be firmly
established, her desolate fields be-
come repeopled and her internal re-
sources steadily developed Black

= Our Oldest BIT of Literature.

The book of Job, as it is incorpo-
rated in the Bible, is believed to be
the most ancient literary work in ex-
istence. 1t is known to have been
written prior to the Pentateuch and
prior to the PRONUNCIATION of the law.
In profane literature the poems of
Homer are the most ancient that have
come down to our day, though the
names of others still older are in ex-
istence. The Pentateuch was written
about the year 1451 B. c., and the
Homeric poems about $40 years later.
