AS TO THE FASHIONS.
The Tailor Explained How the Clothes
Must be Built to be in Style.

The tailor stood the man upon the
block and then stood off across the
room to study the coat from little dlS-
lance. After two or three minutes Oh
reflective observation he shook his head
and took a look at it from another dl-
rection. Then he came closer, pulled 1t
down little here, puffed it up a little
there. and shook his head again
What idiot made that coat? he
asked at length.
Don't you like it?' returned the man
on the block, very naturally offended
at the question.
The tailor shrugged his shoulders ex-
pressively.
''Oh. if the man makes no pretense OF
doing fashionable work" he said. II
will pass
But what is the matter with it?'
demanded the man on the block.
Everything" replied the tailor.
There is the collar. for instance
collar" roared the man on the
block. why that lies around my neck
as snug and even as anyone could
wish
mo doubt answered the tailor.
Then if you will turn to the glass you
can see the absurdity of the back
After a careful inspection the man on
the block announced that it looked to
him as smooth as a board.
There isn't a wrinkle in it, said he.
VERY likely" responded the tailor.
And then" he added. there is the
crowning absurdity of the body of the
coat and the way it hangs when but
toned"
Its perfectly comfortable, not too
loose and doesn't wrinkle protested
the man on the block.
That is apparent to anyone" ad-
mitted the tailor.
Then what is the matter with it?
why, principally, just the points
that l have enumerated" said the
tailor ITO put it more briefly, and in a
little palmer language, 1 might say
that, from the standpoint of the pres
emit fashions, the fault lies in the fact
that it fits What you need if you are
going into society is a coat that has
been fitted to an open umbrella, and
that won't touch you anywhere except
on the shoulders. If it looks we'll on
you, you may put it down at once as
decidedly out of date Chicago Post.

A New Science That VIII Manifest

ItScac in Many Ways.
Those who are moderately well in
formed are aware of the fact that the
deaf and dumb arc being taught to un-
derstand from the motion of the lips
of the person with whom they
are conversing. This is not SD
difficult as it may appear at first
thought. With a fair amount of prac-
tice anyone can become moro or less
proficient in the method. At least a
case that is reported in this city would
seem to establish the fact.
A gentleman who has daughter who
became interested in the subject prac-
ticed with her at odd times, and they
became almost expert in the business.
They had worked with each other at
many odd hours, and enjoyed the ex-
ptrience with something that ap-
preached scientific satisfaction. There
was a practical side to the matter, also,
that gave them great deal of sport.
They took frequent street car rides
during the summer for the purpose of
practicing their speciality. When
ever they could get in position to study
the lips of two or three who were con-
versing in whispers, they would repeat
to each other what they supposed was
the subject of conversation. They diff
fered but seldom as to the talk of sub
jects scrutinized.
That they might always have a good
vantage ground, they would ordinarily
take the front seat of the summer cars.

fords fair view of the occupants of
the car. One night they were imme-
diately opposite two young girls who
were in talkative mood. Their COM
ments We're about the occupants of
the car, and especially pronounced
about a young man blessed with good
looks, who was sitting within range OF
their eyes.
Shortly they turned their attention
to the gentleman and his daughter.
Now, as concerns the appearance of the
two, there is enough difference to in
dicate the relationship, but the de-
meanor of each to the other was such
that the Chattercrs were puzzled.

"Naw; shiny gingham, I guess"

remarks.
AS the couple under discussion left
the car, the daughter leaned out and
said:

is a diamond

nual meeting of the organization which
will be opened here next Monday, July &c,
and will continue during the week.
The date of the opening of the meeting
is appropriate it was on July &c, 1877,

fame spread throughout the world as that
of a successful pioneer inventor, exhibited
his electric motor car, which was pro-
PEELED by battery power in the town hall
of Dover. N. H. Moreover, Greenacre.
where the celebration is to be held is
monument to the memory of the inventor,
established to carry out a long cherished
idea of her parents by Miss s. K. Farmer.
Four years ago Miss Farmer founded
.Greenacre." where men and women IA
nous in the field of literature, science,
art and religion, from all parts have since
come together for mutual exchange of
ideas and instructions.
A very interesting programme of lee
lures and addresses has been prepared
for the presentation at the meetings of
the electricians next week. Among the
speakers will be Prof. Cyrus F. Blackett,

In addition to the other attractions,
Miss Farmer has arranged to have town
exhibit of devices and apparatus which
will gracefully illustrate the story of evo-
luton of the electric railway, including
her fathers original motor car. Many
leading electricians have contributed to
this exhibition.
