To such pitch Of evaporation did
the practice of using buttons in the
shirt drive the men of the middle ages
that they adopted the plan OF wearing
brass or steel armor, fastened together
with metallic bolts The popular idea
that men wore armor in order to fight
in it is manifestly absurd, since no man
could possibly have fought when in
cased in half hundredweight Of metal.
Armor was worn solely in order to
avoid the worry of shirts with missing
buttons
There were distinct advantages con-
nected with the chain steel shirts.
When one Of these garments came home
on Saturday night from the washer
woman, the owner could feel reasona-
bly, certain that the metallic clasps at
the neck and in the bosom were all in
their proper places, for no washerwom-
an could have succeeded in detaching
them without the use of cold chisel.
If it did so happen that the washerwom-
ans husband had been run over by a
steam roller while wearing steel shirt
belonging to one Of his wife's custom
ers, and one Of the metallic fastenings
had thereby been injured, the customer
in question could not accuse his wife
of negligence and demand to know why
she failed to keep his shirts in proper
repair. Answers.

A Serious Matter.

The Sabbath of today isn't much
like the Sabbath of my youth. Then,
people didn't in the face and eyes OF
everybody, go fishing or go on rail
road and steamboat excursions, or
patronize the theatre, or play or waite b
a game of ball or do many things
which are done without fear or COM
ment in these days of progress and
civilization. Sunday, instead of be-
ing day of worship has been turned
into day of fun and recreation and
public sentiment has grown to think it
all right and to take no heed of the
eternal fitness of things and for one
prefer the good, quite Sabbath of old,
rather than noisy, frolicking Sabbath
OF the generation. I am glad to state,
sub rosa, that my town still has some
regard for Sunday and the deductions
above are general, more than local.

THE STATE CONVENTIONS.

The Republican state convention
held on Tuesday of last week, was
a body ag og with enthusiasm, and
there was everywhere manifest a
determined spirit which means a
brilliant victory when its work is
submitted to the voters in Novem-
Der. The HERALD predicts the
the largest majority ever given a
state ticket in Minnesota. The
splendid personality of the eandi-
date 10: governor, William Henry
Eustis, will arouse the patty to sun-
precedented endeavor While the
nomination of Judge Collins would
have been peculiarly acceptable in
this congressional district, where
strength is most needed, perhaps,
yet Mr.. Eustis has troops Of warm
friends and will have many more
of them before the campaign con-
cludes. The party will wage Wig
orous and aggressive warfare from
the beginning. There are no apol-
ogies to offer, no explanations to.
make. The ticket is composed OF
good men and true, and the plat
form has no uncertain planks init.
That a mistake was made in not
endorsing Judge Mitchell for the
supreme bench is pretty generally
acknowledged. His eminent fitness
should have outweighed all other
considerations in constructing the
ticket. 1t is true that the men
nominated are all able lawyers and
well qualified for the bench, and yet
the nomination of Judge Mitchell
would have been good politics, as
well as exalted wisdom.
But the ticket is peculiarly strong
in detail, and wi ! arouse enthusi-
asm. 1t stands for all that is rest
in party politics, and every man on
it is worthy of confidence and
support. 1t is a winner.
