HISTORIC RELICS.

characteristics in Mems Clothes Dating
Back to Feudal Times.
The general lack Of picturesqueness
about the present day male attire is
frequently lamented. yet how many
people are aware that the average
man carries on his coat at least two
historical relics, one of which dates
back to feudal times?
This relic of the times OF William
the Conqueror consists of the two but
tons worn at the back of morning
or frock coat. The buttons are, OF
course, useless for any practical pur-
pose, and inasmuch as they are GER
tainly not decorative, you may natur-
ally ask what they are there for.
Sartorial historians now tell us that
these two buttons come down to us
from the sword bearing age, when
they were placed at the back Of the
coat for the purpose of supporting a
sword belt, which, together with the
sword, has long since been discarded,
save by military men, the sole remain
In evidence OF its existence being the
two buttons. Thus to this day they
remain on our coats as mute witnesses
of the days that are gone.
The other historical relic which
still survives in our modern coats is
the nick in the lapel.
Though you have been wearing
coats and waistcoats ever since child
hoods early days you have probably
never thought to inquire whether or
not there is any reason why tailors
should continue to make this nick.
1t is now recalled by sartorial ex-
perts that when Napoleon first felt the
sway of bouniless ambition he tried
to implicate General Moreau in Piche-
greu's conspiracy.
AS you will doubtless remember,
Moreau had been the man of destiny's
rival, and was an exceedingly popular
soldier, but in the circumstances. with
lie petit cappral in power, it was not
safe to publicly express sympathy
with MOreau. So it came about that
his admirers and supporters secretly
agreed to nick their coat lapels to
show their fellowship, the outlines of
the coat after the cut had been made
forming the letter M.
It would be interesting to learn if
men carry any other marks about
their dress which have historic orig
ms or associations

Colors Of the Colleges.

An examination Of the colors Of 1G0
representative institutions shows, as
might be anticipated, that blue is by
far the most popular color. In its
various shades, says the Philadelphia
Saturday Evening Post. it is the color
Of Yale, Washington and Lee, Trinity,
Of North Carolina: Middlebury, Ken
yon, Central College and Eureka.
When white is added to the blue the
colors Of Columbia and six other insti-
tutions are formed. The sons Of Penn
sylvania and four other colleges tell Of
the victories of the red and blue. For
ty-one institutions have blue in COM
bination with other colors. Howard,
the Central University, Of Iowa, and
Marietta are patriotic colleges, hav-
ing adopted the colors Of the American
flag.
Harvard, the University Of Wiscon-
sin, Ripon and the University Of Kan
sas yell for the crimson. Williams is
one of quartet which boasts of the
purple. Cornell weaves carnelian and
white together; Brown, brown and
white. Five colleges share in their
love for the orange.
It is a significant fact that no one
has adopted black, though 1t enters
into fourteen combinations. Wesleyan
sings Of 'the glorious red and black"
and six other colleges join in the Choir
us. Dartmouth stands up for the
green. Though white by itself is the
color Of only Bowdoin. it is in thirty
two combinations to form college COL
ors. In this respect it comes next to
blue. -Four (of which one is, of course.
Princeton) defend the orange and
black. Union, Swarthmore and Bates
have chosen garnet. Five colleges
claim the purple and gold.
OF the 100 colleges, forty-threc have
one color, 40 have two and seven
have three.

Tho Ways of the Modern rather.

A friend of the Ledger Monthly tells
story illustrating the ways Of the

chievous boys. He has three, all in
the first rank in point of mischief-mak-
Ing capacity. A few days ago two of
them anointed the household pet pup
py with syrup of rhubarb Their moth
er coming In shortly after and
getting a lively welcome from the
little dog. her dress is covered
with the sticky syrup. Shortly af-
ter the father, hearing of the domes-
tic catastrophe turned to the boys and
quietly locked the elder twenty-five
cents from his weekly allowance, and
the younger ten cents from his allow
ance. causing Immediately a tremen-
dous fall in the market value of mis-
chief. This, our friend says, is far
more effective punishment than scold-
ing or whipping, as it brings mischief
to point where its return can be cal
culated in dollars and cents.
