The curious laws regarding students
dress which prevailed at Harvard up to
the middle of the last century are Illus
trated by two eighteenth century waist
coats which are among the collections
of the Boston Art museum. One was
worn by mel4ber of the class of 1740
and the other by his son In 1854.
The latter waistcoat Is olive green In
color, conforming to the college regula-
tions, which required either blue gray,
plain black, "nankeen"-a kind of buff
or olive. The coat and breeches which
originally went with It. as one may
read In the old time Harvard Laws"
were blue gray. Freshmen of that date
were allowed only plain buttonholes,
sophomores leaped to the dignity OF
having buttons on their cuffs, juniors
might have inexpensive frogs to their
buttonholes except that they might not
have them on their cuff buttonholes,

A RattIesnake's Fnngs.

You often hear Of rendering a rattle
snake harmless by pulling out its
fangs. Then, again, you read Of cases
where serpent so treated has bitten
persons fatally. The reason for this Is
that a poisonous snake is deprived only
temporarily of its venomous powers by
the extraction of the two incisors In
the upper jaw, at the bases Of which
are the poison glands. or course you
know that the fangs are hollow, 80
that when the animal strikes the ven-
ON gushes through them into the flesh
of the person struck. Now, by draw
ing the two teeth the snake may be
rendered harmless for a few weeks,
but after short time the two teeth
just behind the original fangs move up
and take their places, making connec-
tion with the poison glands and thus
becoming poison fangs as good and eff
fective as the old ones.

THE MAJORS VENGEANCE.
Mckinley and the Reporter Who
Persistently AssniIed Him.

mckinley ana the Reporter Who
Persistently AssniIed Him.
/ During one of his congressional cam
paigns Major Mckinley was followed
from place to place by reporter for
paper OF opposite political faith, who Is
described as being one of those
''shrewd, persistent fellows who are al
ways at work, quick to see an oppor-
tunity and skilled in making the most
Of it," While Mr.. Mckinley was an
noyed by the misrepresentation to
which he was almost daily subjected,
he could not help admiring the skill and
persistency with which he was assail-
ed. His admiration, too, was not I'M
mixed with compassion, for the re-
porter was Ill, poorly clad and had an
annoying cough. One night Mr.. Me-
Kinley took closed carriage for near
by town at which he was announced to
speak. The weather was wretchedly
raw and cold, and what followed is
thus descrIbed:
! lie had ~ gone far when he heard
that cough and knew that the reporter
was riding with the driver on the ex-
posed seat. The major cpled to the
driver to stop and alighted. ~ Get down
off that seat, young man." he said. The
reporter obeyed, thinking the time for
the majors vengeance had come.

Horses and Cold.

Colonel Sir T. H. Holdich, writing in
"The Indian Borderland" Of the terrible
storms and wind and snow which over
take the traveller on the high passes Of
the Herat mountains, remarks on the
superior power of the horse to with
stand cold. In one such storm "over
twenty men perished and many mules.
All the dogs with the caravan were
dead, but, SO far as Il can remember,
no horses. Yet some of the chargers Of
the Eleventh Bengal lancers got slowly
on their legs the day after the blizzard
literally sheeted with ice as an ironclad
sheeted with STEEL" 1t is fact worth
noting that the horse will stand cold
where a mule or camel will not and
where dog will die.

maniac with homicidal tendencies who

An amusing story is told of LablaGhe.
the celebrated bass singer. One day
as he was strolling leisurely through a
French fair cry was suddenly raised
that bear had escaped from the me-
nagerie. The crowd fed In every di-
rection-all save the singer, whose mas
sive proportions precluded the idea OF
rapid motion. Amid the general com
motion he among them all stood un-
moved, calmly awaiting the advent Of
the feroci0us beast, which sure enough
came slouching rapidly toward him.
When within few feet, 1t halted as
though to gather itself together for q
final rush, when Lablache stepped for
ward and from the lowest depths Of
his immense chest sent forth such a
thunderous roar that the terrified ami
NAL turned and fled.
