HUMAN GEESE.
They Follow the Fashions Their Leaders
Set for Them.

Alexander the Great had a twist in
his neck; it therefore became fashion
able for every one in that Monarch's
court to carry the neck in the same
way.
The peruke is said to be misfortune
of Philip, Duke Of Burgundy. His
hair fell away, and he was advised by
his physician to cover his head with
artificial hair Doing this, he origi
mated a fashion which soon became
prevalent,
Francis l, of France, was struck on
the chin by a sharp missile The
wounded part could not be shaved, and
following the Monarch's suit boards
came into fashion, after having been
out for nearly a century.
The use of powder originated in the
fancy of a French mountebank who
dredged his head with -four in order to
emphasize his idiocy.
Charles VII, of France had pair Of
i'll shaped legs, and he wore a lons
coat in order to conceal them, with the
result that in short time everybody
else wore long coats,
At the battle of Stenkirk the French
officers surprised in their sleep, rushed
out of their tents with Cravats arranged
in the most careless manner. In com.
memoratiOn of the victory they
achieved, it became the fashion to wear
the neckcloth in a negligent manner,
originating the "Steinkirk cravat."
During the reign Of George III, the
Duke Of York had a duel with Col,
LennoX, with the result that the colonel
succeeded in shooting away one of the
Dukes Curls. Hence it became the
correct thing to wear a curl on one side
of the temple only.
The origin Of the Spencer" is curl.
Gus. Mr.. Spencer, an Enghshman,
particular in his dress, once remarked
in company that no fashion was Sc
ridiculous but would be adopted i
worn by person of sufficient import
anCe.
This was dissented from, whereupor
Mr.. Spencer offered to bet that if he
cut off the skirts of his coat and walked
out with merely the body and sleeves
he would be initiated. The bet wa
accepted, the coat prepared, and tool
the fancy of a well known tailor. The
Spencer" soon after came into genera
use.
The present dress coat was the re
suit of compromise The ordinar,
surtout coat being found on occasion
inconvenient, it was the fashion t
fasten back the lapels to two buttons a
the back, with the result that in tim,
the same were cut away altogether anC
the coat eventually made without them

HE DISCOUNTS SAMSON.
A Man Who Lifts Immense Weights
With His Finger Tips

Oscar f. Whitman of Lewiston, Me,
possesses strength that almost surpasses
belief. He is SO years of age, an un-
assuming sort of fellow, and can easily
lift cow He also toys with fat men
as though they were feathers. He has
all his power in his finger tips,
Whitman does not believe in spirit
ualism, but he is confident that he has
some strange power which starts from
his shoulders and extends to his finger
tips, apparently through the bones,
which, he says, feel to him as though
they were hollow.
One day recently a COW fell on the
ice on College street, and after sprawl,
ing about in an effort to get up lay help
less. -Four able-bodied men placed a
plank under the animal and tried to
pry her to her feet, but they could not
succeed in raising her more than few
inches. Whitman came along on his
way home from work, and grasping the
situation at a glance, be held his arms
out at full length for an instant and
then firmly placed his hands under the
COW.
The laugh of the by-standers at
Whitman's action was turned to sur
prise when, without any apparent eff
fort, he lifted the animal two feet
higher than standing position and let
her down gently until her feet were
firmly on the ground, That the curl
osity of the crowd might be appeased,
the COW was led to the city scales and
weighed, and she tipped the beam at
100 pounds,
When a boy, Whitman used to play
horse" with tables and chairs, throwing
them around with the tips of his fingers.
The strange power he possessed
frightened his parents, who always kept
it secret. While learning his trade in
a shoe shop, he punished several local
boxers, though he knew nothing of the
manly art.-Ne7o York IPOyid

Imposing a tax on incomes
Tonight the Democratic members or
the committee met at Secretary CaTlisle's
home for another conference. The Secre-
tary is understood TO be unfriendly to the
proposition TO tax individual Incomes, and
1t is still probable that the solution Of
the matter will be a compromise, which
viii impose the tax ainly on legacies
and corporations. This proposition is sup
ported by the conservative members OF
the Democratic najority-Wilson. Turner,
Montgomery. Stevens and Cochran. There
is no suggestion OF reciprocity in the new
tariff bill. although It has been said in
some quarters that the matter has been
left henging in the air.
IF there is anything in the bill as It
now stands that savors Of reciprocity, it
will not be there when the bill becomes a
