OLD FASHIONS.

BUGLEs were glass beads much used
for the decoration of ladies' hair. The
headdresses of Elizabeth and her wom
en- were loaded down with them.
IN 1913 no gentleman either in Eng
land, France or Germany thought for
moment of going abroad without his
cloak, even in hottest days of summer.
TIE stovepipc hat appeared during
the war between king and parliament
in England, and has scarcely changed
its form from that time to the present.
ABOUT 164l the apron was an indis-
pensablc part of every lady's dress. It
was made of all sorts of costly mate
rails, and was generally bordered with
fine lace.
ROBERT, the eldest son of William
the Conqucror, was called Short Boots
from the fact that he always wore a
par of boots that reached half way to
the knee.
BARBEs were coverings for the lower
part of the face they reached from the
nose to the waist. In Italy and France
widows were, by law, compelled to
wear them.

of julius Caesar. An cdict OF Tiberius

PERFUME FROM POTATOES.

Not tho Kind Peculiar to the nashcry
Kitchen.
There is one odorous essence in very
common use, said an indianapolis ply
sician recently, of which the majority
of people know nothing whatever.
This is potato ether, distilled from DO
tato spirit. No ono would suppose
that humble vegetable capable of
yielding O perfume. Yet 1t does yield
three, and very good ones they are.
They go by the names of pear apple
and grape Oil, from a resemblance be-
tween their odors and these fruits.
Confectioners use them largely to per
fume their finest candies Chemistry
tells some queer stories about per-
fumes 1t Is found that the sole con
stituents OF juniper oil, the otto of
rosemary and that of lemons and tur-
pentine arc really the same, seven parts
carbon, with one of hydrogen. we
cannot combine these substances SO as
to form any one Of the perfumes men
toned, nor explain why, with the Same
constituent parts, they cxhalc odors SO
different. Eau dc cologne. which won

LONDON, Feb. 14.-In the house of COM
mons tuis afternoon SIR lward Harland,
conservative, asked whether the govern
ment was aware that Morgan's NIcara-
guam canal bill had passed the United
States senate and was now before the
house of representatives, and whether, IN
view of the importance of the canal TO
British ship owners, the government
would mako earnest representations to
the government of the United States
against the provisions of the bill detri-
mental TO the interest of British shipping
Sir Edward also asked whether the gov
eminent would consider the propriety of
urging upon the United States the inn
poriance of the creation of British and
American commission to deal with the
question of the construction of the canal
and it's status when built.
Sir Edward Grey, parliamentary secre-
tary for the foreign office. replied that IL
was not usual for the government to
make any representations against bills
before foreign legislatures. The govern
ment, he added, considered that such q
canal as IL was proposed to construct
through Nicaragua should be under inter-
national control, and whatever steps II
may deem desirable would be taken by
the government to advance this view.
He, however, had no reason to suppose
that the United States would not maintain
their treaty engagements.
Sir George Baden Powell, conservative,
questioned the government regarding the
proposed Pacific cables.
Sydney Buxton of the parliamentary
colonial Office said that the negotiations
relative to the construction of q cable
were proceeding, but that it would not be
to the public interest to enter into a de-
tailed statement as to their status.

WASHINGTON, Feb. H.-Secretary Car
Isle to-day sent to the senate a reply to
the resolution introduced by German,
asking, among other things, for informal
ton as to what portion of the gold reserve
in the treasury on Jan. l, 1893, had been
used for current expenditures, how much
of the funds realized from the recent sales
of bonds had been so used and the amount
required to replace the money so used.
The secretary says that the original re-
serve, augmented by the gold proceeds of
the sale of bonds, was diminished during
25 months to the extent of Sl72, ,3l5, of
winch sos, OO2, ,43 was directly or indi-
rectly devoted to current expenses, and
SEQ, 672, 172, which has been converted into
notes by the process of redemption, was
still on hand. ut is proper to state in
this connecticut" says the secretary,
"that when United States notes or the
treasury notes of 1890 we're redeemed in
gold they we're received into and held as
part of the general cash assets in the
treasury, the same as any other money
belonging to the government, and, un'ler
the acts of May 81, 1873, and July ID, 1890,
they are paid out when necessary to de-
fray public expenses. Whenever it has
been possible to do so, the redeemed notes
have been used to procure gold coin by
exchange with banks and other financial
institutions, and in this way a large
amount of gold was restored to the gold
reserve fund during the summer of 1898,
and some since that time.

William G. Wells on Jan. 16. 1898. At the

house. The only other person in the build
ing at the time was Harry p. Hvans, who
had placed heavy insurance on the life of
young Wells, whose sister he was engaged
to marry. The insurance was paid and
recently Harry and Miss Wells were mar
ried. Ten days ago a Toronto paper
learned that an attempt had been made
to place $4,000 insurance on the life of
his bride.
Mrs. Hyams became alarmed, hired a
detective to guard her. refused to return
to Montreal with her husband and asked
the company to cancel the policies. Hy-
ans brothers were known to not possess
sufficient capital to warrant mourning a

Further investigation has resulted in

Two Miners Saw Lunar Rainbow Since
the sixtaenIh Caninrx


the sixteenth Century.
BUTTE, Feb. IA San Francisco dis
patch IN this mornings paper states that
a lunar rainbow was seen in Panama on
Jan. IL. the first evidence of a lunar rain.
bow since the 10Th century. Lunar rain.
bows are not common thing in Butte,
but one was see n in this city last Septem.
Der all right. Peter Lyndon and George
Huen, two miners, we're walking from
Butte over to Orc Elmo Rulch and were
passing the big butte when they were
amazed at noticing a distinct rainbow in
the sky. The colors were marked and
beautiful and they observed all the colors
usual in a solar rainbow. They did not
know what to call il or what to make of
it, as they had never heard of such thing
as a lunar rainbow. 1t was late in the
evening when the phenomenon was OBJ
served. The men watched the phenome-
non as they walked along for more than
half an hour and then the brilliant specta-
Gle slowly faded from view.
The miners mentioned the matter to
some of their fellow workmen, who
laughed at them and accused them of hav-
ing drank too much. So generally was the
story ridiculed that they finally came to
the conclusion that they must have been
drunk, although they hadn't taken any
thing, and so they said no more about it.
This mornings publication reminded
them of the affair an convInces them that
they were not drunk when they saw the
lunar rainbow.
