COLLEGE FASHIONS.
When Judge Robert Grant Was n Fresh
man at Harvard.


With the beginning Of the second
term the freshmen were privileged to
wear tall hats and carry canes. They
always celebrated their emancipation
on the first Saturday of the new term
by going in force to the theater in all
the splendor Of their new possessions,
and they were apt to show themselves
on Beacon street, Boston, on the follow
ing Sunday. In regard to dress on week
days l recall that among all the stu
dents little round gray soft hat was
very popular. The times were rather
hard from 1870 to 1880, and many men
went in for old clothes. Short pea jack
cts were in common use. Some of the
arbiters of college fashion chose to wear
silk hats with them when they wished
to appear swell, thereby producing
somewhat mongrel effect. English
clothes, or indeed a suit Of new clothes,
was so much an event that recollect
OH the occasion when member of the
class of 1874 imported suit of lively
checks, his friends hung it outside the
window of one of the buildings on ex-
hibition.
The yard ut that time, as very likely
now, was often lively center for ami
able Incidence. Besides tossing cents
at mark in front of Holworthy and
dropping hot coppers out of the win
dows for the Cambridge urchins to pick
up, / recall the slogan of Heads outP'
which brought every one to his window
and from his books many times week.
No woman could cross the yard without
hearing it, and events Of much less inn
port evoked it. Frequently we had the
pleasure Of listening to the Glee club,
which was then fourishing body
whose repertoire included "Seeing Mel
lie Home" and Dearest maiden, dance
ever with me; can'st thou refuse me?
can st thou but choose me?" yet pander-
ed to less noble emotions in "Shoo Fly"

A DWARF IN BATTLE.
Casan Won Praise and Honor From the
Great Genghis Khan.

From time to time Mrs. Mary Shears
Roberts has contributed to st. Nicho-
las papers on Historic Dwarfs. - In
one number she tells of Casan, Tar
tar dwarf who took service under the
great Mongolian khan. Mrs. Roberts
thus describes his first appearance in
battle:
Now, it so happened that Genghis, in
order to subdue the deserters from his
fathers tribes, had dethroned several
princes or khans These petty chiefs had
been in the habit of paying tribute to
the great sovereign of the Kin empire
in North China. This high and mighty
potentate now demanded money from
Genghis Khan, thereby rousing the ire
OF our Mongolian warrior, who an
nounced that, rather than pay one cent
for tribute he would fight the whole
Chinese kingdom. Preparations for war
were at once begun, and Casan was de-
lighted when he received orders to join
the army. At last his dream was real
lied. He was going to fight real battles,
and he was in command of a body of
troops. He babe adieu to his family and
with proud heart set out to meet his
sovereign.
AS a first step, Genghis Khan invaded
western Hea, captured several strong
holds and retired in the summer to a
place called Lung Ting, in order to es-
cape the great heat of the plains OF
steppes. While there news reached him
that several other khans were preparing
for war. He thereupon descended from
the heights, marched against his foes
and in pitched battle on the river
Irish he overthrow them completely.
Casan attracted great deal of notice
on this occasion. He was here, there
and everywhere. On his mettlesomt
charger he bounded into the thickest Of
the fight, hurting his lance with unerr
ing aim and displaying great courage.
After the fray he was summoned t.
appear before the conqueror, who com
plimented the dwarf, saying: "Thy
valor and thy courage have completely
justified thy promises. From this da.
forth thou shalt be a khan. Thou shall
have command of large body of troop
and shalt hereafter be my companion il
arms -
