COLORED SHIRTS BARRED.
Trouble i'm Store for Men Who Fail to
Wear Black before the Su-
preme Court

Bicycle suits and fancy colored shirts
are tabooed by the United States su-
preme court. While there is no writ
ten law to the effect, tradition de-
mands that only black shall be worn,
and the attorney general, solicitors,
court officials, criers and clerks wear
nothing else, and it is not an uncom-
mon thing for attorneys to change
their attire before coming into court
so as to comply with the traditions,
says the Chicago Post.
"A newspaper man who was a novice
in Washington attempted to appear in
the press seats to report case in which
his paper was interested. He wore
bicycle suit and was refused admis-
sion, being told he must change his at
tire and adopt the conventional black
A young st. Louis attorney who was
applying for temporary admission dur
ing the last session appeared in blue
crossbarred shirt, a red necktie and a
light checked suit. The Clerk saw
Chief Justice Fuller cast one glance in
the direction of the young lawyer and
frown. That was enough. The Of
fender was hurried out into an ante
room, where one of the attendants
loaned him a long black coat that but
toned up high enough to conceal the
shirt and red necktie. The young man
then appeared with his light trousers
under this solemn superstructure, and
was admitted to practice in the high
est tribunal of the land.

Resignation Of Mrs. Laing.

After most efficient and faithful
service of six years, Mrs. ]. P. Laing
has resigned the Office of Recording
Secretary of the Board of Managers of
the Woman's Home. 1t was accepted
with the greatest reluctance and only
the realization Of the arduous work it
has been, and the fairness of relieving
Mrs. Laing of so much care, induced
the Board to consent to the withdraw
al of so capable an officer.

THE PASSING OF THE BoERs.
MOurnful Ending of Brave Peo-
pie That Struggled Hard for
Existence.

For more than 60 years the existence
of the Beers has been the epic of con-
tinuous and immense adventure, in
which nothing has been so amazing as
the last struggle and the final defeat.
There is no such example of a hard and
stubborn people, dimly led by destiny,
in their flight from civilization, to re-
volve in circle which brought them
back at last face to face with the most
overwhelming environment of all the
ideas and forces of civilization, in the
shape of the British empire, says the
London Telegraph.
When the Dutch farmers resolved
upon their exodus from the Cape Col
ony and plunged with their long teams
of numbering oxen and creaking wag-
ons into the wilderness of the north,
wandering over veldt and mountain,
through bush and river, seeking from
decade todecade for some further home
and abiding rest from their pilgrim
ages. and fighting their steady path
as a handful against hordes through a
thousand miles of savage environ rhent,
the Beers commenced q story of hero
ism not to be equa.ed out of Exodus.
1t will never be adequately described,
If not by the pen of some second De
Quincy in pages of such supreme elo-
quence and power as those which i'm
mortalized the fight of the Tartars.
The very names of the Transvaal
towns record the travel or sorrow aud
death in which they were founded:
"Weenen," the place of weeping;
"Rustenburg," the place of rest; "Ly-
deuburg," the place of suffering.

Great Plague.

The last time the plague visited
Glasgow with excessive virulence was
in August, 1645. Then on the 10th of
that month, the Marquis of Montrose,
who fought under the standard Of
Charles l., signally defeated the
Covenanters under General Bailie at
Kilsyth. Thereupon the provost and
corporation of the pestilence stricken
city sent envoys with a message of
congratulation to the Marquis and a
warm invitation to him and his SOL
diers to partake of Glascow's hospital
ity. Montrose, at the head of his
troops entered the city and was sump-
tuously entertained,b but would not stay
on account of the epidemic. However,
as matter of business, he levied
heavy tax for supplies upon his Glas-
wegian hosts, to their huge disgust.
"A memento of pathetic romance
connected with the 1916 plague vista
tion in Scotland is a rallied enclosure
ou the bank of the Almond in the par
ish of Methven, Perthshire. 1t marks
the spot where lie inferred the hapless
"Bessie Bell and Mary Gray" famed in
Scottish song Daughters respectively
of Kinvaid and the laird of Lynedoch,
the maidens we're much attached to
each other, and when they heard of
the ravages of the plague they retired
to bower near the Almond and dwelt
in perfect seclusion. The fair re-
cluses, however, had teir place of re
treatSdiscovered by young man of
their acquaintance, who supplied the
twain with provisions. He caugt the
plague himself, unluckily, and COM
municated infection of Mary and Bes-
sic, to which the girls fell victims. Ac-
cording to the stern custom of the
time their bodies were not allowed in
terment in Methven kirkyard, SO they
were buried together in a spot contig-
uous to the bower

The Ideal Light.

Electricians confidently expect that
their art will at future day bring the
cost of illumination down to mere
trife compared with what it now is.
AS is well known, the most economical
methods of lighting involve waste of
nearly all the energy utilized. Prof.
Langley says that the ideal light is the
freely, which is produced without heat
or waste. If man could initiate it he
would solve one of the most interest
ing and important problems.

His work has long been of the highest

will be without question study of
uncommon interest and value. 1t was
according to fitness in stage matters,
when the time came for Sol. Smith
Russell to relinquish his work, even
though temporarily, that his physical

ELEPHANT HUNTING.
Pursued In Siam for Royal Amuse-
ment and to Restock the
stables.

The elephant hunt in Siam dates
from time immemorial, and seems to
have been designed for restocking the
royal stables, and contributing, at the
same time, to royal amusement. The
present kraal at Ayuthia, says Corn
hill, was built during the last century,
by Phya Dark. Previous to that, one
with mud and stone walls was in use
at Noburi. The elephants selected were
mostly young animals, that will work
with others after six months training
The calves, however, become docile in
about month. The collars in which
they are secured often chafe their
necks, and the application of soothing
remedies is found a useful factor in
tanning these intelligent beasts, which,
having once become accustomed to the
presence of man, allow themselves to
be handled; many of them being so at
tached to their keepers that they are
noisy and impatient during their abb
sence. An anecdote is recorded by Dar-
win of DIR. Hooker, who was riding an
elephant that became so deeply
begged that he remained stuck fast
until the next day, when he was extri-
Gated by men with ropes. Under such
circumstances elephants will seize with
their trunks any object, dead or alive,
to place under their knees to prevent
their sinking deeper in the mud; and
the driver was dreadfully afraid lest
the animal should have seized DR..
Hooker and crushed him to death. But
the driver himself, as DR.. Hooker was
assured, ran no risk. This forbearance
under an emergency so dreadful for a
heavy animal is wonderful proof Of
,oh1o
