THE SYRIAN ARABS.

styles Set by the Patrlarchs Still In Vogue
in the East.
The Syrian Arabs have changed tlieir
style of dress less than any other ma
tionality. At any rate there is no
record of it's having changed during
the period covered by buman history,
either as regards male or female dress
or adornment. Saving only for his
firearms, there is no reason to believe
that the Bodouin Of the desert does not
clothe and adorn himself exactly as he
did in the days of the Patriarchs, and
the women wear their ornaments in the
nineteenth century of the same shape
and in the same style as Sarah and Re-
becca did. Among articles of western
costume, the two oldest are probably
the Highland kilt and the smoc1s- -frock
OF the vest country English laborer. 1t
is not probable that either of them
has altered much for 1000 years. The
sInock-frock was the peasant dress in
early Saxon times, and the kilt would
seem to be a development of the kirtle
or fribged girdle, which was probably
the earliest garment worn by man.

"TiP IT."
A Trivial Pastime Popular Among Lam
cashiro Gamblers.

A Trivial Pastime Popular Among Lam
cashire Gamblers.
Among the strange sports of Lanca-
shire is game known variously as
'.coddan" or Tip it,"
AS the Lancashire man Of sporting
tendency must hnye wager on every
thing that engages his attention, a lot
of mo1iey changes hands on this game,
generally in small way, but quite fre-
quently in substantial sums. Indeed,
sas's London Answers, there is a recog-
nIzed champion player of "tip it, who
is opcn to back himself for e25 to click
creation"
And this is how it is played: The
rival players take a button, or some
small article, md sit on opposite sides
of a table. The beginner puts his
hands under the table, and, taking the
button in one of them, raises his closed
fists into view, and the business of the
other is to say In which hand the button
is held. The button changes sides as it
5 is found, and the game goes on until the
points are reached.
1t is often played with two or four al
side, and the champion will meet a
dozen at time, and discover the hand
holding the button by sort of instinct.
The position of the thumbs decides
whether the game is ''coddam" or "tip
it, On this trivial pastime hundreds
of pounds change hands every year in
some parts of Lancashire.

deaths over births was S9,6S2, and the
mortality in the departments was nine times
as great as in the rest of France. NJ. Jean
mel infers from this that the forests are an
important factor in the health of France.
The census of the German empire, re-
Gently taken, gives population of 81, PA, =
503. Compared with that taken in 1890,
the gain is nearly three millions, and this
in spite of steady and heavy emigration.
These figures are as gratifying to the peo-
pie of the Fatherland as they are dispirit-
ing to Frenchmen. Very slow indeed is
the increase in France, and yet emigration
is light. Germany in 25 years has added
10000 to her population; France in
20 years can report an increase of only
100000
Following Edson's invention of the flu
oroscope, NikOla Tesla has devised an APP
paratus by which he can actually investi-
gate the interior of the body. He does not
seem to have obtained a clear vision of the
internal organs, perhaps not clear enough
to guide surgeons hand in operating on
them, but he can locate them, distinguish
their outlines, and learn enough about
them to be of great practical value. This
discovery applies not only to the homes,
which are shown in the R0ntgen "skia-
CRAPS" but also to the fieshy organs, and
| especially the heart. Thus the develop
ment of R0ntgen's wonderful discovery
progresses, and it is impossible to predict
what its ultimate limitations will be.
An important question comes into prom
inence in the proposition of Messrs. Gould
and Sage to double-deck the elevated rail-
roads of New York, thus doubling the ca
pacity, provided the property owners along
the route will waive all claims for conse-
quential damages. 1t is estimated that
this work will cost $25, ZOO, 900, and that it
can be finished in three years. This would
enable the road TO run express trains and
would afford relief from the terrible over
crowding of which New York has been
complaining for a number of years. 1t is
the best and quickest solution of the rapid
transit problem that has yet been suggest
ed; but it is easy to see how claims for
consequential damage all along the enorm.
ously expensive routes of the elevated
roads might make its cost prohibitive.
