GROWING OF RICHARD III.
Description of His Coronation Robes
as Ordered by Himself from
List Still Extant.

While mems minds as well as wo.
mems are turned on coronation robes
and kindred splendors, it is interesting
to compare the old with the new fash
ions.
The description of the costume worn
by Richard III. at his browning and
ordered by himself was, according to
list, still extant, composed Of "a doub-
let made of two yards and quarter
and half of blue clothe of gold,
wrought with netts and pyne apples.
with a stomacher of the same, lined
DON ell of Holland clothe, and DON ell
Of Dusk. instede of green clothe of gold,
and longe gown for to ride in, mad
of eight yards Of p'pul velvet furred
with tymbres and half and thirteen
bakks of ermyn, and four tymbres, sew
ehteen coombes of ermyns powdered
with 1900 powderings made OF Doggy
shanks, and payre Of short spurs with
gilt"
To give the exact meaning Of the old
wording, says the London Chronicle,
would make pretty task for scholars
the day before King Edward vII.'s
amounting. But the ''longe gown for
the cycle in IL an obvious hint for to-
day.

POPE STUDIES MEDICINE.
The Germs of Various Diseases Close
Iy Examined by His Holiness
and His Physician.

CONSERVATION was displayed in the
vatican the other day when DR.. Lap
POM, Pope Leo's private physician,
was seen going toward his holiness
apartments with a large microscope
in one hand and a case containing
several walls and surgican instruments
in the other. The rumor spread that
the pope had suddenly become seri-
ously i'll, but soon the truth became
known, says an eastern exchange.
Pope Leo has long taken much in
terest in the progress of modern medi-
cine, and DR.. Lapponi's object was to
show him specimens of the various
microbes which have been discovered
during recent years and to explain to
him the exact manner in which each
of them affects human beings.
The germs of typhus, tuberculosis.
diphtheria, anthrax and other NAL
aides were carefully examined
through the microscope by the pope.
who then asked DIR. Lapponi many
questions, especially as to the man
ner in which the germs find their way
into human bodies and as to the meth
DDS which have been devised for de-
stroying them.

LIPTON'S GREEN SALES.
Sir Thomas Had a Little Joke to
Spring on Americans. Hut Didn't
Get the Chance.

It has leaked out that Sir Thomas
Upton came to America last fall pre-
pared to spring huge joke on the
Americans il he won the America s
cup. The other day a fire occurred
in the loft of a carpenter shop where
some of the rigging of the Shamrock
III. had been stored. In the mass of
partly burned sails were some pieces
of vivid green. When opened up sew
eral sails were hauled out from the
wreckage, all of emerald green, says
Woman's Home Companion.
Later it became known that in the
event of Shamrock III. winning two Of
the races this green suit was to have
been worn in the third and deciding
race. 1t is also said that. this green
suit of sails never saw the light Of
day, but was bent and stretched at
night while the boat lay in the Horse
shoe at Sandy Hook.
The discovery of the green sails
was the cause of much mirth.

HE KEPT ON SWIMMING.
Remarkable Pluck Of . New Yorh
Sewer Man In q Desperate
situation.

The other day in New York man
named Boyle had an experience that
it is better to read about than go
through. He was working at man.
hole, when the ladder gave way. He
fell into the sewer and was carried
for more than mile underground in
q torrent of water that ran like
mill race, in absolute darkness and
deluged with mud and slime and all
manner of filth. He was dashed
against brick walls, well-nigh over
whelmed with dirt that was emptied
over him from side sewers, and final
ly he was pitched into the East river,
and was fished out by a bargeman.
Boyle's own account of the matter is
interesting, and the chief fact is that
he never gave up, says Woman's
Home Companion. II kept a-swim-
min" was his succint way of putting
it, and even when he found himself in
the middle of the East river, half I'M
conscious, he kept a-swimmin'."
One must confess to good deal Ct
admiration for a man who, under
such circumstances, in about as hope
less a condition as human being
could possibly find himself, should
still keep in the game.

WHERE THE KING COMMANDS.
Military Powers of Europe which
Are Under the Personal Con-
troll of the Sovereign.

In Germany, in Austria, in Italy
and in Russia, four countries which
may be described as military powers
in the fullest sense of the word, the
sovereign is in each case the active
commander in chief of the army, and
finds time to fulfill his duties as
such. He has as his principal mill
tary adiatus and lieutenant chief
of staff, who works in thorough uni
son but on footing of complete
equality with the minister of war,
the sovereign, jealous of his prerog-
atives as generalissimo, being on
guard to see that there Is no usurpa-
ton of authority on the part of the
minister. The chief of the general
staff of the German army is Gen.
Count Schlieffen, who now fins the
place occupied for nearly 40 years
by Won Moltke. There is no minister
of war for the empire. But each ono
of the sovereign states constituting
the confederation known as the Ger
man empire has its own minister OF
war who works in unison with Gen.
Count Schlieffen, chief of the general
staff.
