{ ~ New Cure for Drunkenness.

Detailed accounts are now published
concerning the working of the new
serum reported to the French academy
in December last as having been dis
covered to be an antidote to alcoholism.

Passing of the Prince Albert.
In the midst of the weighty matters
now engaging the. attention Of the west
ern nations comes the unexpected in
telligence from London that the prince
of Wales has decided the Prince Albert
coat must go. That royal arbiter of
fashion appeared at the recent queens
garden party in a single breasted long
coat. London sWelldom thereby is re-
ported greatly concerned, and New
Workers are beseiging the taiors shops
with anxious inquiries as to what they
propose to do. Az the Prince Albert iss
now the regulation coat the world over,
II Is. apparent that sartor!al revolution
is impending and that the double
breaster must go in obedience TO the
royal aedict.
Some tailors are OF the opinion that
the single breastnd coat will not take
as II is only a revival of an old fashion
and they triumphantly exhibit a fashion
plate Of 1876 TO prove the assertion. 1t
is not likely. however. that the swell
world will deliberately refuse to obey
the cdict of Albert Edward. who has
just shown his power by banishing Will

outer wilderness.
From another point Of view the edict
of Albert Edward is significant. ri
shows tina he is aging. He was born in
1871. On Nov 9, 1900 he will he SO years
OF age. 1t ia the tendency OF all men

the rule. With advancing years they
are not alert and creative in the n.a.ter

trouble TO invent new ones. II Albert
Edward lives another decade he will
retrograde from the coat OF 1876 to the
tall coats with brass buttons. the flow

trousers of half century ago. and IL
he should live still another decade, to
ruffled shirts, and shoe
buckles. His edict, therefore. does not
indicate any long and careful study az
to what his subjects in London and
New York should wear but simply that

will grow more careless. and at last,

TO his son. the duke of York, or. more
likely, to his grandson Edward Albert,

the last named is only 6. and is, there
