BEAU BRUMMELL.
Once Leader of the Dandies-A
Model for Well-Dressed Men.

"OOe4 TOR "el1-Dre09eO Men.
Until Brummell came upon the scene
the prince, though not remarkable for
his taste, had, thanks to his rank, been
cies," or leader of the dandies, but he
was at once dethroned by the superior
genius Of Brummell, who retained the
sovereignty till the year 1917. During
this period he became the model of all
men who wished to dress we'll, and when
he had struck out a new idea he would
smile at it's gradual progress downward
the last of his stay in England he con-
tinued to wear powder, rather priding
himself upon preserving this remnant Of
the 'vielle cour." His clothes were a
perfect study. The coat was generally Of
blue cloth, and it's collar raised against
the back of the head like the hood of q
monk-a style familiar to us in pictures
and miniatures of the period-the buck:
skin or nankeen breaches were so incred-
IDLY tight that they could only be got on
with immense labor and could only be
taken off in the same manner as an eel
is Invested of it's skin. Then came
waistcoat about. four inches long, open
on the chest, displaying, stiff white
muslin cravat. Hessian boats completed
the costume, and to these the Beau paid
monty reported as being blackened ::au
vim de champagne" at any rate, two
shoemakers were supposed to insure the
perfectness of their fit, one made the
right and the other the left foot. He had
three glovers for his gloves, one Of whom
was exclusively charged with the cutting
out of his thumbs. Three hairdressers
were likewise engaged to dress his hair.
As for the personal appearance of this
sublime dandy, "his face" we read,
'was rather long, his features neither
plain nor ugly, his forehead unusually
high, hair light brown, whiskers inclined
to be sandy, eyes gray and full of odd
ity.'-The Argosy.

Monarchs of All They Survey.

Thcre is something about owning an
island of being its ruler, that savors of
kingship and brings special gladness to
the heart of one who tires of the conven-
tions Of a city. For this reason many

been purchased and turned into home

The Island Of TREE for Sale.

1t is not altogether surprising that the

CHASES STRAWBERRIES.
From the Nile River in September to
Scotland in August.

The queerest fad Of a millionaire globe
trotter is that Of John X. Hampton of
Liverpool. He made his millions on
the corn exchange and holds the golden
key to the worlds pleasures. Yet he
spends his life chasing the strawberry.
When he was working night and day
amassing gold he found that plate of
really fresh strawberries and cream was
the finest delicatessen he could have.
Fortune smiled on him in 1891, and the
following year found him so wealthy
that further work would have been mad
ness. 1t was early September and he
went at once to Cairo, where fresh
Strawberries can be obtained during that
month. Since that date he has regular
ly followed the late spring, and SO the
strawberry, from Cairo to Algiers. from
Algiers up through Spain from South to
North, and likewise though France
Then, in early May, when the straw
berry season in that country is finishing
he crosses to the Channel isles and
chases the smiling fruit across to Corn
wall, generally landing in England in
the middle of June. His trip finishes in
Scotland at the end of August, when he
takes through ticket back to Cairo.

THE LAST IRISH WOLVES.
They Existed in the Wicklow Noun
taius Until ITO.

taius Until ITO. gIsz #
- Ireland was much infested with wolves
down to period comparatively recent.
That noble dog, the Irish wolfhound, has
been bred from remote times for their
destruction. Lord William Russell re-,
Lady Russell went wolf hunting at Kill
mainham-Qsite close to the capital. In
171O a presentment was made in County
Cork for destroying the beasts, and Ma
caHlay quotes a poem published in 1719
to prove that they were quite common in
Munster at that time. A writer in the
Dublin Penny Magazine was acquainted
with an old man whose mother remenl-
bered that many wolves were slain in
Wexford about 173O-4O. and he cites
peculiar tradition that the last wolf was
killed in the Wicklow mountains in ITO.
The same writer narrates some inter-
slaughter of the last wolves Of Tyrone.
1t appears that the people of those parts
were much troubled by two wolves, who
committed great rayages upon their
focks. A reward was offered. and a
noted hunter, Rory Carragh. sent for.
He agreed to attempt the destruction Of
built sheepfold which the marauders
were accustomed to visit, and thither
Carragh repaired al midnight, accompa-
MED only by a boy of ~ years of age
and two wolfhounds. Now said Car
raph to the boy, .'as two VOL YES usually

YOU and one Of the dogs to guard this

you hear him, but the dog will, and posi-
lively. will give him the. first fall; if,
therefore, you are not active when he is
with the spear he will rise up and kill
both you and the dog. So good night"
I'll do what I cam said the little boy,
as he took the spear from the wo:f hunt
er's hand. Carragh departed for his own
station, and the boy, entering the in
closure, crouched down within the. gate
with the dog beside him. The cold and
darkness affected the child SO much that
soon, in spite Of his danger, he dozed of
into stupor. He was aroused by the roar

Hung his enemy upon the ground, and so

drove his spear with good will through

turned, bearing the head of the other.

REMARKABLE SUCCESS
OfnNew Catarrh Cure.

! A large and constantly increasing ma
jority of the American people are ca
| tarrh sufferers This is not entirely the
result of our changeable climate, but be-
cause modern investigation has clearly
proven that many diseases, known by
other names, are really catarrh Form
erly the name catarrh was applied almost
. exclusively to the common nasal catarrh,
but the throat, stomach liver, bladder,
kidneys, and intestines are subject to ca
tsrrhal diseases as well as the nasal pas
sages.
In fact. wherever there is mucous mem
brane there is a feeding ground for ca
tarrh.
The usual remedies, inhalers, sprays,
douches or powders, have been practically
failures. as far as anything more than
temporary relief WAS concerned, because
they simply dry up the mucous secre-
tions, without having the remotest effect
upon the blood and liver, which are the
real sources of catarrhal diseases.
1t has been known for some years that
the radical cure of catarrh could never
come from local applications. but from
an internal remedy, acting on the blood
and expelling the catarrhal poison from
the system.

been on the market only a short time has
