The CombtnA6kSp Is as Old as Time and
 Not 8 New Ed
 The critic who finds much to blame in modern women in the number of jewels they wear on both this and the other side of the Atlantic will find that history had set the fashion long before the fair creatures of today had opened their lovely eyes. According to Pliny, Lollia Paulina, the wife of !Caligula, wore op her hands, arms, neck, head and waist pearls and diamonds to the value of $1, ,0O6 Faustipa had a ring worth $s0O, 900, Domitia possessed one worth $500, 900, and C@sonia had bracelet worth $4O0, 900. Seneca cried ont that one pearl would no longer do for @ lady, but she must insist on at least three for each shell like ear. The weight of these, it is hard to believe, could ever be endured by even the vain est of fair maids and matrons
 There were women in ancient Rome whose sole occupation was healing the torn ears of ladies whose ornaments had proved too heavy for the pretty lobes. Poppea's earrings were worth $76o, ,9e9, and Calpurnia, the wife of the mighty Julius C@sar. had a pair valued at twice that sum. Later on the extravaganza had not seemed to havo died out Marie de- Medici had dress prepared for the baptism of her chil- dren, and when she attempted to wear the marvellous creation she found that 1t was so heavy that she could not stand in 1t It was trimmed. with sa,OOo pearls and 8, 900 diamonds
 Men, however, excelled in costly an- parel in the middle ages, and Philip the Good of Burgundy frequently wore jewels valued at $2OO, ,OOO. When he walked along the streets, people climb ed oyer each other to get peep at him. The Duke of Buckingham once wore at the court of St. James 8 costume cost ing $400, 900. The dress of the nobles of the middle ages was literally covered with gold and precious stones. s.-Chica- go News

Appropriations by the present congress
exceed the billion dollar mark and are
$40, 900, 900 greater than those OF any pre-.
vlous congress. One OF the items is the
river and hsrbor bill that passed the
lower house last week and which carries
appropriations amounting to SlS,6l6, 900
or six millions more than the preceding
year, when 81 ,4j3, 900 was for work ex
plcitly condemned by government en-
gineers, and $40, 1886, 900 for work they
did not recommend. The trouble seems
to be that in order to secure cessary
appropriations the till must be loaded
down with items thrown as sop to various
congressman who demand something for
their constituents. This log rolling Gus,
tom is growing evil and has such hold
on congress that when the president
vetoed the river and harbor bill year
ago, on account of the "rlders," it was
passed over his head. There should be a
check to it even if it requires an amend
ment to the constitution that will give
the president the power to veto partcu-
lar items without eifecting the balance of
