FASHION NOTES.


The fashionable choice for driving
coat is drab melton cloth, and very
careful dressers insist that no buttons
shall show. Loose front and fly front
are the fashionable cuts. Sleeves are
baggy and of large coat cut, the collar
is lapelled and the general finish is gen
tlemanly. Drab velvet or cloth is used
for facing and now and then black vel
vet. The correct driving coat is unlin-
ed, strap scanned on both sides, the
sleeves lined with satin to help in slip
ping the garment off and on. English
covert cloth comes in drab, gray and
tan. This is often silk lined and is cut
a little more closely than the melton.
Newmarkets of melton are double
breasted, with half fitted back and loose

REAL VAR.

The British troops are certainly do
ing business in South Africa. The
Beers fight bravely and stubbornly, and
their sharpshooters manage to pick off
a good many British officers, but moth
ing that the Beers can offer seems able
to stop the rushing of the redcoats. The
battle of Saturday was a fierce one,
and there was lively fighting yesterday,
At the present rate of progress most
ifnot all of the work may be done before
General Butler reaches the scene of ac-
ton, and the glory that was intended
to be his may have to go to others.
Those who are doing the fighting for
England are evidently after glory or
death. There will be some stirring
stories to read soon, and then we shall
realize that while our voices may be
for peace our hearts are still for war
War is a great game and the children
of men like to play it. A soldiers
grave in the Philippines or in the
Transvaal isn't so very attractive
when calmly considered, but when glory
beckons we must follow even though
its paths lead but to the grave.

ANOTHER UOND E:R.

If telegraphing over wires is going to
continue it will be ''revolutionzed' by
instruments which have it is said, been
perfected by two Hungarian inventors
named Pollak and Virag. Instead of
dispensing with the transmitting wire
these inventors have directed their skill
toward increasing the capacity of the
wire. In other words, they will make
the connecting wire do more work in a
by means of instruments that develop
extraordinary speed in transmitting
and receiving. This system. the patents

OTERDONE.

The Washington Post Is high tariff
paper, but there is limit to it's swal-
lowing capacity. For instance it can't
swallow remark made by Senator
Hoar in his Worcester speech. Senator
Hoar said that President Mckinley had
the rare good fortune to connect his
name with two tariffs which We're the
"harbingers and creators of two Pc
RODS of unexampled prosperity" The
Post protests as follows: 1t is a fact of
history that the panic of 1893 came on
when the Mckinley tariff act of 1890
was in full force and effect 1T is a
fact of history that the revenue-pro-
ducing capacity of that act was so in
sufficient that, under Harrison, the sur
plus was exhausted and an issue of
bonds was contemplated with so much
seriousness that arrangements were
made for printing them. 1t is a fact
that in the general estimate of financial
authorities the Sherman silver act, in
conjunction with influences of world
wide character and bearing, was re-
sponsible for the panic Of 1898. 1t is
also a fact that the Mckinley law was
not repealed until late in the summer
of 1894. Also that the Wilson-Gorman
act, which repealed and superseded it,
was highly protective measure, I'M
der which some of our great industries
revived and our export trade increased.
AS to the Dingley tariff, ''the great pro-
tectiVe measure" which President Nc
Kinley signed, it has undoubtedly ex-
pedted and strengthened our industrial
and commercial progress, but it did
not actually create all of our prosper
ity. Absurdly excessive claims are
never advantageous to a good cause
Protection needs no such defence.
The Post is right. The praise of pro-
lection can be oyerdone.

Here's Yankee Doodles been and come,
And beat your crackest watches.
They started all to run race,
And were we'll timed with watches;
But, oh! they never had no chance,
Had any of your Watches.
The Yankee she delayed at first,
Says they: She'll never catch u.s.
And flung up their tarpaulin hats,
The owners of the Watches.
But presently she walked along;
''0h, dear" says they, shell match us.'
And stuck on their tarpauin hats,
The owners Of the Watches!
Then deep we ploughs along the sea,
The Yankee scarcely scratches,
And cracks on every stitch of sail
Upon our staggering Watches.
But one by one she passes us,
While bitterly we watches,
And utters imprecationS OH
The builders of our watches.
And now she's quite hull down ahead,
Her sails like little patches;
For sand barges and golfers we
May sell our boosted watches.
We family hear the clubhouse gun
The silver cup she snatches-
And all the English clubs are done,
The English clubs Of yatches.
They say she didn't so by wind,
But wheels and springs and ratches;
And that's the way she weathered on
Our quickest going watches.
But them's all les I'm bound to say
Although they told by patches
Twas build Of huh and cut of sail
That did for all our watches.
But novelty. hear them say,
Some novelty still hatches.

OF many new club watches,
And then Well challenge Yankee land,
From Boston Bay to NatcheZ,
To run their crackest craft agin
Our spick and span new watches.

In 1867 a Kaffir boy, playing with a
pebble, attracted the attention of a
prospector, who discovered that the
pebble was diamond. That, according
to Victor Smith, was the beginning of
the Kimberley mines. Between 1867
and 1899 the value of the diamonds TAX
en- out was $455,OOO00o. There were
originally four famous mines-the Built
fontein, Du Toits Pan, De Beers and
Kimberley. In the natural order of
events trust had to follow, so all
were merged into the Kimberley, the
richest and largest. The trust occupies
200, 900 acres of land, employs $4,000 ma

Some men stay young a long time.
Lord Kelvin, now nearly eighty years
old, is still such a devoted student of
physic that he is taking out patents on
new apparatus every few months One
was granted to him recently for an
improved device for measuring the
strength of an electrical current. Coils
of wire, offering a certain amount of
resistance to the current, have long
been used for this purpose; but the re-
sistance was variable and increased
with any rise of temperature in the coil
What Lord Kelvin has now done is to
provide compromising feature thus
automatically offsetting any increase
in resistance.
