An Indian Romance,

The Dowager Maharance Of Mysore,
who recently died, had remarkable
career. While scarcely 10 years OF age
she insisted on sharing all her younger
brothers studies, and in five years she
mastered Sanskrit, Canares and Mar,
athl, while not neglecting music, draw
ing and needlework. When 16 she was
chosen as the fourth bride of the late
Maharaja, who was q petty official,
was summoned to the court to answer
for the short revenue of his village.
Only when ordered to be whipped was
it discovered who he was. He was
forgiven, the marriage was celebrated
on the first lucky day and the young
queens benign influence was at once
and thenceforth felt in the affairs Of the
state.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Notifications of Paknam. f.
Now comes the rub. The Siamese
officers at these forts claim that the
French mail steamers passed way be-
yOnd the prescribed limits. They were
in the right mood to show the French
men the range of their latest guns as
well as the skill of their g,,nners. The
French vessel was made a target and
was soon sent to keep company with
Mr.. McGinty. The gunboats accom-
panying the sl1nken vessel opened their
guns on the Siamese batteries and when
the smoke had cleared away nobody
was found to be hurt. This incident,
however, served Frances purpose in
sending her ultimatum.
There are those who think that this
whole affair is a preconcerted plan be
tween France and Great Britain to get
a chance to divide Siam in equal shares
and say nothing about it. Color to-
this is lent by Britain's refusal to in
any way be held responsible for China's
interference. Be this as it may, one

openly accuse the English of having
been the cause Of all the trouble. On
the other hand, the Siamese authorities
insist that the French have been the
aggressors at every step and sought by
all possible ways to irlitate the Siam
government. The great river Of Me

dispatches, is in reality not the most
Important cause for discord. In the
middle of this river is an island called
khone, which commands the entire
stream. 1t is for the possession of this
island that the French are putting out
their best efforts. ''Without this

the greater part Of our territory in
this region would be useless The

ANTIQUITY OF THE FROCk

! 1t Is an English Invention of the
Sixteenth Century.
The frOck coat is unquestionably an
English invention, and it's first recorded
appearance is in 1910, in the reign of
Henry VIII. It is described as "a coat
OF velvet somewhat shaped like a frocl,
embroidered all over with f1atted gold
Of damasks." The waistcoat has al
ways been a garment of minor consid-
Grafton. 1t appeared and disappeared
according to the requirements of tho
varying costumes in earlier times, and
1lrst had official recognition under the
reign OF Charles III. 1t was in 1865
that Pepys makes mention of the waist
coat in his diary: 'This day the king
began to put on his vest, and / did
see several persons in the house of
lords and commons wearing a long
cassock close to the body" ETC.
While there have been many changes

culus, says of the Belize Gauls that
they Wore close trousers, which thev
called braccae." The Roman invasion
brought bare legs to Britain, and the
Draccae of the Gauls were discarded
for the new order of things. When
the Romans took leave, and were sue
ceeded by the Saxons the braccae were
compromised by a style of short draw
ers reaching half way down the thigh
and stockings coming up to meet them.
:Ihe drawers were called breach or

II was reported on the street last

source. It is learned that the sus-
picion that Under Sheriff Hall had
skipped with the fascinating Tom has
assumed serious aspect, so much so
that it is now the belief that Hall did
actually purposely allow the prisoner
TO walk out and afterward aided her
in making her escape 10y furnishing

Zine of the escape, but he was unable
to make any lucid explanation con
cerning it when informed of what had
happened 1t is said that he seemed
startled ami lost no time in detailing
himself TO go in pursuit Later it was
learned that two of Halls horses were
missing. Why he should take two
horses no one knew. Still later in the
evening one of the horses was Sc
cretly returned and the family buggy
taken. This occasioned suspicion, but
no one who knows John Hall could
believe him guilty of such heuious
crime. lie has q loveable wife aud

the senate the resolution offered
Monday by Mr. lIoar, calling on the
president for further information on
