sang whenever a chance was given for

A New Version of an Old Story.

Poor M. Floquet is hardly cold in his
grave before posterity has set about
stripping him Of his chief claims to
glory. Everybody remembers that the
Radical politician S reputation was built
upon all incident which occurred in
1867. The Car Alexander II, then ON
visit to Napoleon III, had been shown
over the Palais de Justice, and was
stepping into his carriage, amid cheers,
kindly provided by his host, when some
body in the crowd shouted, "Vive Ia
Pologne, monsieur'' Floquet got the
credit of this audacious bit Of imperti-
nence, and on the strength Of it secured a
seat in the chamber. M. Jules Claretie
declares that he heard from Floquet
himself that the real author Of the cry
was Gambetta, who generously allowed
his friend to profit by it. On the other
hand, NJ. Andrieux asserts that he in
vented the Gambetta legend to amuse
the readers Of provincial paper, and
that he did so at Floquet's request.
But another curious piece of evidence
has been brought forward The car
never heard the words at all, but he
noticed the tumult to which they gave
rise and saw the mob gather round a
figure in their midst. What on earth, !"
he exclaimed, "does that old priest
want"' Now neither Gambetta nor Flo
quet could possibly have looked like a
dlsheveled ecclesiastic, but q man who
was close spectator Of tho scene posi-
lively aifirms III. Delnttre, barrister
OF very advanced views, to have been
the real simon pure. The czar's descrip-
tlon would apply to him, and the Ian
guago resembled his utterances in the
tribune. Here we must leave the ques-
ton, which affords, at all events, one
more proof Of the uncertainty Of history.

not wish to take advantage Of such q

siderations, do not think II wise poll

sion. You will therefore not raise this

WHITE AND BLACK cRAvATs.
In Former Times They were Badges O.
tho Wearer,s Profcsafon

In Former Times They were Badges OF
tho Wearers Profession.
Years ago the white tie in this ooun-
try was the characteristic wear Of the
reverend clergy. their monopoly Thence
it passed into general use and disputed
popularity with the black. The black
neckcloth was early in this century like
wise professional badge. Those who
followed the profession Of arms claimed
the right to wear-it as their monopoly
and sometimes enforced that right.
Cooper in wing and Wing" makes q
very dramatic use of this custom. A
French privateer captain in disguise has
fallen into the hands of the English and
is brought before q, court martial So
skillfully does he stick to his assumed
character Of fisherman that his Judges
are puzzled until one Of his accusers
suddenly places around the prisoners
throat the black neckcloth which all
officers wore. Then his true character
blazes forth and he is condemned, but
escapes execution to die sword in hand.
Cooper knew what he was writing
about, for he, too, had been an officer.
Military and naval men wore black
cravats when i'll plain clothes, and civil
ians aped them until black became the
only wear. Before the rise of the black
cravat, carelessly tied white lace, the
Steenkirk, had been in vogue for neck
wear. Its popularity likewise was q CT
william tribute to military valor. At the
battle of Steenkirl the French Royal
guards, the household troops, being
suddenly called from their tents to meet
the oncoming English, had no time to tie
their rich lace cravats with their accus-
toned neatness and loosely knotted them
about their threats. They were the dan
dies of Europe, the perfect pinks of
military propriety, and were correspond
ingly brave. They did up the English
i'll about one round, and thenceforward
the Steenkirk cravat was the fashion,
and the more carelessly it was knotted
the more Steenkirky it was.
AS white is now the color of peace,
may not the psychologist be justified i'll

mans recognition that peace hath her

of war and as worthy Of being COM
