YOUR COAT COLLARS.
A Tailor Can Tell Whether You're Beat
or Not.


Not.
The man who thinks no has the best
of his tailor had better take off his coat
and examine the tag under the collar,
where, with great care, the fashioner of
garments has sewed it. There let him
look at tho stitching which binds that in
nocent looking bit of linen to the cloth.
Let him then see whether the tailor is n
fool or not
AS surely as bad habits leave their mark
upon the countenanoe of the wicked, SO
the willy fashioner of wardrobes has set
his seal The honest man, the beat, tho
slow payer, the schooner and the dolt arc
known by tho stitches. By their marks
SO shall be understood, or words to that
effect.
The object of this new sartorial fancy Is
to enable knights of the shears to tell at q
glance whether you are good pay or not
It's all in the threads, as it were Hero is
the key to these ingenious tabs of the
tailor The jog" stitch is the ono regu-
larly used for good customers, who require
good work. The criss cross is significant
of slow pay. The stitch with dots and
dashes, which looks like the Morse alpha
bet, tells the inquiring tailor that its
owner is bad risk. Tho reverse dot
stitch shows the good fellow who wishes
his friends to dress we'll, but hates like
thunder to pay what they will finally owe
on his Introduction.
The round curves are used TO indicate O
mean man, and the tag with convex loops
at each corner is a sure black eye for the
wearer. It's good scheme altogether,
tho tailors think.-New York World.

Our government Is not a confederation

writes ox-Presidont Harrison, discussing
This Country of Ours' In The Ladies'
Home Journal. "It is true that tho vote
upon the adoption originally and the vote
upon amendments is by states, in state
conventions or In state legislatures, and
that in various other ways tho states are
recognized and used in the administration
OF the national government. 1t could
hardly have been otherwise. But the con-
struotion Of Mr.. Calhoun and of tho secos-
eionists that our constitution Is "a nero
compact between independent states that
any state may Withdraw from the Union
for any breach of the conditions of the
compact, and TINT eaoh state is to Judge

Each of us owes allegiance to tho United
States-to obey and support it's constitu-
ton and laws, and no net or ordinance OF
any state can absolvo us or make it law
ful for us to disobey the laws or resist the
authority of the United States We owe
another allegiance, each to his own state,

the constitution and laws of tho United

Tho question whether an act Of congress
is unconstitutional, or whether an act of
any officer of the United States, done Of
ficially, is unauthorized, must of course
be decided by the courts of tho United

court. A power in n state court finally to
declare law OF the United States invalid
would be destructive OF national authority

Warton OF course IS not O man to be- do

amusing episode Mt tho end of his caroor.
His real work was historical and critical,
and had nothing to do with the annual
turning out of mechanical odes But there
is some entertainment about Laureate
Warton. TO begin with, Warton had been
doing the jobs of the Office long before he
actually possessed it, When George IFS
foolish son, the Prince Of Wales died in
1851, Warrior broke out into metrical cant
about nations tears, the fact being that
the nation did not shed or affeot to shed
tho most perfunotory tear on this particu-
Lar occasion. Thoro was rhymster who
knew far better what the nation thought.

Had it been the whole generation,
Best OF all for the nation;
But, since it's only Fred,
There's no more to be said.
The writer Of these lines never became
poet laureate.
Warton, however, did, and no Is ready to

For Hypnotic Criminals.

A good story is told by the Albany
Times Union of Judge who lately had
the hypnotic plea raises before him by
a burglar. The prisoner claimed that
he did not know that he was "burglng y
that he did it automatically and uncon-
sciously, under the direction OF hypnot-
ist. The Judge said that he would give
him the full benefit of the law and aso Of
his hypnotic misfortune. He thereupon
sentenced the man to 10 years in State
Prison, but told him he could, if he chose,
send for the hypnotst and have himself
made unconscious for the entire term of
his imprisonment
The same power said the Judge,
(Which enabled you to commit burglary,
and not know it, ought also to enable YOU
to suffer Imprisonment, with hard labor,
and not be aware of it. AT any rate, this
is the best can do for you"

From Farm to Market.

The number of chickens that can be
raised on the ordinary farm depends large
ly upon the management they receive.
/ have long commended. writes Fred Grun-
dy in American Poultry journal, that FIVE
hundred can be raised at profit Of not
less than 50 Ter cent. BY this | mean
that there are enough insects, worms,
grass and waste about the average farm
yard and within safe range of the building
to supply that number of chickens fully
one-falf OF the food required for their
maintenance, and that with one good
ration of grain per day they can be raised
to a marketable age.
Five hundred chickens are not the limit
of the ordinary farm by any means, but
that number will gather and utilize about
all the chicken food that is likely to be
found within safe range of the buildings,
and if more are produced they will require
to be fed oftener than once day to keep
them in thrifty condition.

old farmer. ard some of the men of the
neighborhood came under criticism.
Speaking of a prominent man in the
village, | asked:

amt got much money, but he's mighty
rich
"He has good deal of land, then -
asked.
"No, sir, he amt got much land,
neither, but still he's mighty rich"
The old farmer, with a pleased smile,
observed my puzzled look for a moment,
and then said
You see, he amt got much money,
and he amt got much land, but still he
is rich, because he never went to bed
owing any man a cent in all his life,
He lives as well as he wants to live,
and he pays as he goes; he doesn't owe
anything and he amt afraid of any
body; he tells every man the truth,

when he lacks these things he is certainly
