LANGUAGE OF GLOVE.
Many Phrases Which Have Come
Into Common Use.


Into Common Use.
Chicago Journal.
A good many phrases connected with
gloves have come into common parlance
during the few centuries that have
elapsed since they were first introduced,
and prove that they always played an i'm
pOrtant part.
For instance, to be hand in glove with
any one expresses a particularly close and
intimate understanding between two peo-
pie. A cat in glove catches no mice, in
dicates that work requiring skill and
promptness needs very downright hand
ling. To throw down the glove or gaunt-
let is an action of defiance, to pick 1t up
to accept the challenge, or refterate. To
fit like a glove is a smile for all that
can be desired in the comfort of a gar
ment. To give ones self gloves is to
boast.
Closely gloved is another way Of saying
that a person Is avaricious; to remark
that his gloves are always large is to
credit him with a generous disposition.
In Germany it is not uncommon to re-
mark that there is a glove on the hearth,
when we should say, Little pitchers have
long ears" or Walls have ears" An
elastic material Is frequently said to
stretch like a glove, but the phrase has
another Specification, and that is to be of
an easy temper, and ready to accommo-
date ones self to circumstances.
AS the language Of the fan is of Span
ish origin, so the language Of gloves comes
from Italy, and the earliest gloves were
made and worn In that country, though
they were introduced in Northern Europe
in the middle ages. The very first were
Of fine leather, delicately embroidered,
jeweled and perfumed, and all the inven-
lions Of modern days have proved moth
ing better, for, though we have silk and
cotton gloves in abundance, the choicest
are always Of kid, finished in one way or
another, and the Princess of Wales and
her niece, the czarina, always wear gloves
that exhale a distinct but nonobtrusive
odor of violets.

NEW YORK. Nov. 19.-The proposed
battle between James ]. Jeffries and

weight championship will be fought next
June. William A. Brady and Champion
Jeffries had conference, and at It's con-
clusion Brady announced that Jeffries
would agree to meet Corbett within seven
months
Jeffries will meet Corbett Tuesday to
talk over final details and sign articles
for the fight. The time selected by Brady
and Jeffries is satisfactory to Corbett
The former champion would like to have
the contest come off sooner, but Corbett
considers himself rather fortunate in Sc
curing match with Jeffries and he does
not intend to lose the chance by imposing
any conditions on the champion. Corbett
said tonight that he would sign the arti-
cles on Tuesday without delay, so as to
clinch the match
Jenries determination to enter the ring
again soon indicates that he intends to
dispose of all the ambitious heavyweight
aspirants before another year has
elapsed Jeffries wants to fight them all.
He will go on the road for few months,
and when he goes into active training to
night Corbett he will not stop until he has
defeated all his present challengers.
Jenries, although anxious to fight while

Jeffries has no objection to taking any

this quartette there will be no legitimate
candidate for him to take on unless some
other great boxer appears on the pu-
gilisuc horizon, which is not at all likely.

AS a coroHary to the recently issued re-
port of the postmaster general, whore the
item of insuf1ciently or obscurely adj
dressed letters is dealt with, it may be
noted that the department has had many
tough tasks to deal with, and has acquft-
ted itself triumphantly. Once an envelope
intruSted to it on which was inscribed
"Grofredevi, Lonoon"-sent from Italy
was delivered to the eminent scientist,
Sir Humphrey Davy.
But perhaps st. Martins most sur
passed itself on points of cuteness when
recently a letter reached the authorities,
which had been posted at Inverness,
bearing the rude scraWl, 'Tuglmor, pipe,

Then it was decided, considering the
quarter whence the missive was sent, to
call In the services of an eX-soldier of a
Highland regiment, Gaelic speaker, who
was employed as a mail cart driver This
authority thus read the inscription:

Then the gold rush to Australia was In
full swing, and Dugal More, it was sur
missed, was one of the miners Months

SCARED HERD OF ELEPHANTS.


He stood in the open and took a long
survey Of the elephants. AS they caught
sight of him they crowded together as If
alarmed, but 1T never occurred to me
that they would shirk a fight. The
rhlnoceros got ready after a bit and with
loud snort he came charging down.
Among the nine was an elephant almost
as Dig as Jumbo-a phenomenon among
African elephants. The rhinoceros made
directly for the big fellow, and ne struck
MIN on the left shoulder and knocked
him into the pool and then fell over him.
Inc sight of those two big beasts wal
lowing about in the water was the fun
NEST thing [ ever witnessed. All the 9th
er elephants ran away at once and
though the big fellow ought to have been
able to do up a pair of rhinoceroses, he
ran away from this one. He got several
bad digs from the horn before he could
escape, and as he went up the path he
was closely pursued.
On one occasion we had captured a
cub ZION in a pit and were engaged in
getting him Into a cage. Within half a
mile of our camp a lion, a lioness and a
cub had laid up in thic1et for the day.
Our captive was Of this family, and his
loss must have put them in fighting mood
roaming rhinoceros got their scent,
and our people at camp saw him charge
into the thicket. There was a row as he
uncovered the lions, and five minutes
later he emerged in chase of the iioness
and the cub, while the lion was on his
back and seeking to claw him. He
brushed his rider off against a limb, and
then drove the three far out Of the
neighborhood.

PHOTOGRAPHIC TIMEKEEPER.
Novel Invention for Recording the
Arrival of WOrkmen.

LOnuOn Mail.
The latest mechanical time recorder for
use In factories and other places Of en-
ployment is called the guv'nor," and 1t
not only registers the precise minute at
which the employee arrives at his work,
but 1t photographs. him neatly and eX-
peditiously on film, so that his en-
ployer may see just how he looked when
he pressed the button.
Many virtues are claimed for "the guv'
nor" by the patentees. It's accuracy and
simplicity OF Cperation are held 10 be the
chief advantages which recommend 1t to
the favor of large employers of labor
In point of size and general appearance
the guv'nor' is a good deal like a pol
tshed oak portable Photographic camera.
To insure correct results the instrument
must be so liked against a door that the
light, being at the back of the employee as
he faces the lens, will fall through a
glass lid into the box. That Is the single
condition OF success. All that is further
necessary is for the employee to look
squarely at the lens, smile softly II he
feels that way. and push the knob that
protrudes invitingly from the box. As he
does so he VIII ring bell and expose a
section of celluloid film upon which the
face Of a small clock showing the exact
minute at which he arrived will be pho
tographed.
Immediately beneath the clock face his
own Will be fixed by a sunbeam In

Fine, medium and dull" and a small
indicator moved round to the proper
description will arrange an exposure to
suit the prevailing atmospheric condition.
Each instrument contains twelve feet
of film, upon which 2SS pictures may be
taken, and for establishments with a
greater number of hands larger machines
can be supplied
Apart from its purely commercial uses,
the guv'nor" promises to furnish a
highly interesting record for any one
who may want to turn up old films and
see how he looked on each morning Of
the Vanr
