HIS BARomETRIoAL TROUSERS.
How Tom Reeds Tow Suit Guided the
Actions ofSockless Jerry.
From the Washington Post.


The wet and wintry chill relegated Mr.
Reeds tow suit to the wardrobe or trunk,
and no man knows whether it will be
seen before next summer or not. In con-
uection with this suit, which has become
national issue, il is to be noted that the
trousers part Of it is very remarkable.
When its wearer first dOnncd it they
were long enough to turn up at the bot
tom with killing London roll. AS the
days passed and the crease in them be-
came fainter, they shrunk and shrunk, and
climbed up toward the waistband, until
a couple of inches of lustrous black stock
ing was exposed. Upon the occasion of
their last appearance in public they were
not turned up, and were an inch and a
half too long
1t is not known whether Mr.. Reeds
pants lengthen and contract with the
rise and fall of the stock market or the
tide, or the ebb and flow Of public conf
dence, or whether they are to be re
garded as a trustworthy barometer of
approaching storms and Gains in legisla-
tiou, but they are queer Mr. Simpson
Of Kansas had come to regard them with
a sort of blind alteration or fetish wor-
ship. On the days when they were crisp
and brief he bought and sold, undertook
journeys, and the like. When they We're
long and limp he kept a careful eye upon
cable cars and touched the back Of every
chair that he passed What he will do if
the weather remains cool is not predicted.

MADAM, was to have two teeth extracted
and decided to take gas for the occasion.
She was comfortably placed in the big
chair and was enjoying the first sensations
Of breathing in the fumes There was de.
licious mnrmuring that reminded her OF
the sounds OF lovely summer day, bees
humming and all nature ut a lullaby. But
she was still conscious, Just dazed enough
to fancy that long time was passing and
she was consuming quantities Of gas with
out its having the desired effect. She must
be taking more than the doctor could afford
to give her. Several times he had lifted her
fingers to see II they were limp, and now he
suggested that she keep her hand as long
as possible held up from the wrist.
Madam has tender heart, and In her
half asleep state II overpowered her head.
The dentist could never waste on one pa
tent that amount of gas, 1t was her duty
to deceive him and stop this great drain on
his pocket. SO she let the hand fall limp
and played inssnsible.
Out came one tooth with q horrible
wrench that invaded every fiber of her be
ing and brought her back to her full senses
with a bound The doctor was amazed
and both were amused when the state Of
the case was realized. The second tooth
waited for another day.-Newport News.

A
Revolution
In Eating

has been brought about by the
introduction of CoTToLENE, the
new vegetable shortening. The
discovery of this product, and the
demonstration Of its remarkable
qualities, has attracted the widest
interest. Hitherto the common
shortening has been lard, or
Indifferent butter. Every one has
probably-suffered occasional dis
comfort from lard-cooked food;
while it is we'll known that thous-
ands are obliged to abstain entire
ly from everything of that kind.
To such people, CoTToLENE is of
peculiar value, widening as it
does, the range of what may be
eaten and enjoyed. CoTToLENE
is a cooking marvel. 1t comdines
with the food-imparts to it a
tempting color, delicate flavor,
and an appetizing crispness.
No trace of greasiness remains
to offend the taste, or disturb the
digestion.
CoTToLENE is worthy of the
careful notice of all those who
value good food, of itself or for
its hygienic properties.

A writer i'd Science denies that the letter
y is lineal descendant from the Roman Y,
which, in the time Of Cicero, was borrowed
from the Greek alphabet to represent upsi-
Ion in the translation of Greek names. The
latter is only used, he says, as vowel to
transliterate upsilon in loan words, either
direct from the Greek or indirectly through
Latin or French. In great majority Of
cases the English y is serniconsonant, cor
respondingin value with the continental j.
Along with the other Roman letters, y was
adopted by the Anglo-Saxons from the
Latin. alphabet. With value approximat-
ing to that of l. In fact. he claims that
there is not a hneal descendant Of the An
glo-Saxon ynow in existence. The letter y
in modern English words is, curiously
enough, he claims, not a at all, but lineal
descendant of the Anglo-Saxon g, which
was the Roman G, evolved by the Romans
out OF an earlier @.

From the West Chester Republican.
The project of running an electric
road from Wilmington to West Che5-
ter on the pike road ID quietly talked
Iof by several wealthy residents OF
West Chester and vicinity.
t The idea WIS suggested to the OIL
Icials OF the Wilmington and Northern
Railroad. but they refused to enter
tain the question for a moment. Their
refusal was looked upon as an ac-
acknowledgement that the proposed rail-
way would jeopardize their interests.
The road would parallel the Will
Imington and Northern and Pennsyl-
Ivania Railroads to Wilmington, and
would afford an easier and cheaper
means of reaching there.
Several property owners along the
Wilmington pike have signified their
willingness to give a company the
fright of way. There ID no better or
straighter road between here and Will
,,mington and what would make the
railway pay big dividends would be
lowing to the fact that all along tho
line it Ia pretty well populated and
much travelling is done. The con-
Istruction would be comparatively H.
Expensive, because the road Is almost
lon q straight line, and therefore it
would be bonanza to the gentlemen
who would form the company.
Wilmington has charter OF the
road from the city limits to the LON
hardy Cemetery, which Is situated two
Tor three miles outside of the city.
Those living along this section of the
froad are earnestly in favor of the pro.
lject,
