A Telegraphic Curiosity.

When Professor Morse was trying to

skeptical members, who knew nothing

a lunatic, and his invention clever

full dressing of the modern man. is due
the honor of evolving the Raglan coat
The Raglan has come to fill an
aching void in the masculine ward
robe left by the disappearance from
fashionable use of the Inverness cape.
In its time this easy cape wrap did
splendid service, for no mans evening
dress either wears or looks well if he
is obliged to drag on and off the shoulders
of it a heavy, clOse-fitting Chesterfield
for example.
At the height of its popularity however
the Inverness displayed q fault or two.
One of these was it's easy admission of
frigid draughtS on bitter cold nights. No
such objection can be urged against the
Raglan, which is at once roomy, light ana
warm. The skirts of it fall a little below
the knee, but the charm of its build lies in
the easy sleeves that are oddly set in on
the SholderS with V-shaped pieces that
extend clear to the collar line. BY this
device a peculiar loosenesS, without bag
ginesS, is secured in the body of the coat,
and those made especially for evening
wear have no pockets. To take the place
of pockets in the skirt of the coat Sits
are so made in the goods that the wearer
can pass his hands directly through his
overcoat and into the pockets of his dress
trousers. There is lots of inconvenience
avoided by this simple device.
The Raglan, however, unlike the In
verneSS cape. is not a garment eXclu-
sively for evening use. 1t was really
invented and first worn as a coat for
sporting purposes, and in black. brown,
blue or light covert goods. it is an adj
mirable coat for the spring weather. Men
who approve of a sort of modest variety
in their dress, wear the evening gray
whipcord Raglans with black velvet COL
lars and the effect is very nice. In coats
for day use the skirt is supplied with a
genuine pocket, though none appears in
the upper portion of the garment.
ANY one in earnest search for smart
new top coat for the season cannot do
better than take a few notes from the

the sacque form. whether it's a Raglan
or not. Its collar is of velvet, the seams

A Useful Coin.

It is not generally known that the
scent nickel coin of the United States
currency was designed with special ref
erence to it's use as a unit of weight
or measurement by the decimal system,
but it is true.
For some reason the metric system,
though it's use has been legalized in
this country, is not popular with the
Americans, and it has not come into
general use. and perhaps never will.
If it does, the usefulness of this coin
will at once become apparent. 1t is
exactly five grammes in weight, and
two centimetres in diameter.
This is, of course, not an accident
and if there shall be any change in our
system of coinage, other convenient
measurements and weights may be
adopted, according to the same sys-

Four Notes In a canary's Song.

In the song of a canary, four notes
are recognized by dealers, and they
can tell by listening to it for a few
minutes bird be German
or American They are the water note
which is a ripping, gurgling, attractive
bit of warbling, like the murmur of a
riIl; a flute note, clear and ringing; the
whistling note, of the same class but
much finer, and the rolling note which
is continuous melody, rising and fall
ing only to rise again.
1t is in the last-named note that the
American birds fail. They cannot hold
it. Another difference between the two
is that the German canaries are night
singers-they will sing until the light
is eXtinugished. But the American
birds put their heads under their wings
with the darkness.

sound of repressed sobbing from some
spot not very far away, and, moved by
some undefnable impulse stronger than
his will, he pushed open the gate and
entered the sacred precincts.
Instantly the weirdness and desola-
ton of the spot struck him. He wished,
yet dreaded, to advance. Something in
the grief of the mOurner, whose sobs he
had heard had seized upon his heart

sounds came again, and forgetting that
his intrusion might not prove altogether

The Death OF the War.

There have been many wonderful
things in the brief and decisive war
between the United States and Spain.
and in the subsequent fighting with the
Philippine insurgents, and not the least
of these has been the extremely low
death-rate among our soldiers in the
camp and field. While war is war it
means always the death Of many
brave men whose lives can i'll be spared
to their country. In the navy the
small loss has seemed really miracu-
lous. considering the great results
achieved, and in the army the death
rate has been far smaller than we had
every reason to expect. Though all the
land fighting has been on foreign soil,
under many Typographical disad-
vantages and in the deadly heat of the
tropics, our armies have had one Of the
lowest death-rates that the history of
any war records.
The comparative statistics of the
Spanish War and the Civil War are in
teresting and instructive. The total
deaths in the army from April, 1898, TO
to 1899, aggregate "a per cent. of the
total number of men in the service.
This includes deaths from wounds and
from disease. For the Civil War the
death loss was $40 per cent.-nearly
three times as great. There are sew
eral reasons for the disparity First is
! the term of service, the mortality in
camp naturally increasing as the time
was extended, because men who could
stand several months of wars hard
ships could not endure for several
| years under the like conditions. Sec
ond-and probably most important
was the unparalleled ferocity of the

Good Work by Our Diplomats.

1t is a matter of constant grumbling,
if not open complaint. that our repre-
sentatives abroad are not sufficiently
well paid to live on a social par with
other ambassadors and ministers; that
their official dress is void of gold lace
and decorations. and that in some in
stances they are obliged to take back
seat simply from lack of means and
adornment. Our constitution never
contemplated the maintenance OF a
brilliant diplomatic corps. A CONNER
cial as well as a political representa-
ton has been sought in the principal
foreign capitals. Men of matter rather
than of SNOWY attachments have gem
orally been selected for such places
the sound. clear headed business man
rather than the wit or scholar.
OF course. in some instances the
choice has fallen upon men of great
wealth who have maintained splendid
establishments abroad, or upon literary
men of brilliant parts. especially at the
court of St James, who have spread
the American reputation for wit and
humor. but in the long run the most
successful of our foreign representa-
tives have been men who shone more
in the counting house than in the
throne room, and whose best work was
accomplished along lines of trade and
industry rather than intrigue.
A cable from ST. Petersburg bears
directly upon the point involved.
Russia is buying enormous quantities
of steel and iron. and all the metal
producing countries in the world are
competing for Russian contracts. The
cable tells us that complaints are heard
in Berlin that big commissions for steel
and iron due to Germany-that is,
usually obtained by Germany-are be
ing given to the United States owing to
