OF them one new silk dress a year. II is
true that many have none, but many 9th

pair OF sleeves now requires for It's
making three yards more and skirt four
yards more OF goods than was demanded
In the old style of dressmaking. This ia a
total OF seven yards increase in the par-
ment. In 300, 600 gowns such an increase
amounts to 2. 1905 yards, which, at 90
cents yard (minimum price on Silks,
costs 81, $50, 600 Here it is tabulated:

Increase in 3OO, 900 skirts at 81. .... GIOMO

And now since the puff sleeve ia not
native to Chicago or confined within this
city's limits, It's effect upon tho dress
goods market of the entire country is moro
widespread than the above modest figures
indicate. Perhaps the well favored women
OF Chicago wear more silk dresses per cap
lta than the average female mortal of tho

CiePse OF $40, 600, 900 this year in the value

various Theories aS to the ORIGIN Of
These Two Mythical Pcrsonages.
From the Baltimore Sun.
John Bull" tho mythical pcrsonage
supposed to represent the English poo
pie and now figuring largely in our
editorial writing and in cartoons, was
the invention Of DR.. Arbuthnot, in one
Of his satirical sketches ridiculing the
great Duke Of Marlborough. In the
opinion OF DR.. Johnson Arbuthnot was
the first man among the eminent
writer's in Queen Anne's time He
drew John Bull as the typical English
mana stout, leu-faccd old farmor,
far too cOrpulent for comfort, choleric,
but withal an honest and well-meaninp
follow. He clothed him in leather
brooches and top boots, put a stout
Oaken cudgel in his hand and O. bull
dog at his heels, and set him up for ali
time to scrvc as representative Eng
lish man. He may have been not so
bad Il caricature in the days of Queen
Ammo. But today certainly there is
much force in Leslie Stephon's remark
that he completely hides the English
man Of real life" The average En-
glishmon Of 1896 8 physically no stouter
than, probably not 80 stout as, the
average American, and tho stout
cudgcl and the bull dog are no fonger
apt symbols Of the modern Britisher's
disposition. He has lost the cx.cssivo
pugnacity OF his forefathcrs, and, as
we have lately seen, is abJvo all nnx-
ious to keep the peace with his Uncle
Samuel.
Speaking Of "Unclo Sam and "Bro-
thor Jonathan, whose names are bcing
freely used, too, in tho passing inter.

their origin When Con. Washington
went into Massachusetts to take com
mand OF the revolutionary army, he
found great lack OF ammunition and
other supplies. He turned for aid To

ATTICUS G. HAYGOOD,

The WclI-spcnt Life ofGcorgia's s Great
Methodist Bishop" Illustrious as IL
Church Worker aud Educator, Fa-
NOUS as an Author and LoYable as a
Friend.
The Atlanta journal gives loug and
apprcciativc sketch of the late Bishop
Atticus q. Haygood, from which the
following extracts arc taken:
Bishop l1aygOod was born in Wat
kinsvillc, Ca, November 10, 1899, but
when Il mere youth his father moved
to Atlanta. Green b. Haygood was
one OF the pioneers Of this city, man
of sterling character, a lawyer Of fine
ability and an enthusiastic missionary
Methodist. The son inherited his
fathers religious fervor and some of
his Observation-Disclosures, but he also
owed an incstimablc debt to his mother,
one OF the most remarkable women
Georgia has evcr seen. She was Miss
Askew, and from her, her illustrious
son received many of his character
istics.
Young lIaygood entered Emory Col
lego when he was Is years old, and had
already determined that he W ould give
his life to the service of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South. He was d
mere boy when he left college, crowned
by the brightest hOnOrs which could
be won on its curriculum. He was Il
boy chaplain in the army and tho old
citizens OF Atlanta, especially the Old
McLhodists, remember what splcndid
services this young soldier Of tho cross
rendered hcro during the stormy
period.
He WAS the first pastor Of Trinity
Church after the war, and helped to
lay the broad foundation on which that
splendid organization rosts now. His
ability was SO great and his versatility
so pronounced that he was soon called
from tho regular pastorate to tho gcn-
eral work Of the church.
AS editor Of Methodist publications
he probably acquired one of the best
titles to distinction. IIc would have
been one Of the great editors OF the
country had he so cndcavOrCd.
From 1870 to 1881 he was president
OF Emory College and through his
cllorts that institution secured the
lavor of George Cheney, who had boon
Inc DcnclactOr already Of other South
orn colleges and who lifted Emory ont
OF the slough OF financial despUnd. Hc
found Emory College pennilcss and
procured for it donations amounting to
1900, 900.
His magnificent ability as an urgani-
%cr ana his great power as ID preacher
were recognized by tho general con-
ference OF 1882 in his election as Bishop.
lie declined the oilico because no felt
that he had pledge TO Emory which
was his supreme command.
In 1882 he was made general agent
OF the Slater Fund.-" IL trust which
ho held for eight years and which he
executed with ~ fidelity and patience
that was truly admirable. Foi while
he was agent both Of tho Slater fund
and Peabody fund.
In 1890 DR.. iaygood was again
elected Bishop. He did not feel that
he could decline this second call OF his
church to its opiscopacy. Ho accept.
cd it as tho crOwning honor of his life
and only those who havo known of his
service in that Office can estimate it's
value to tho church and how splondidly
1t portrayed the mans devotion and
,haractcr.
Almost his first service as Bishop
