CLIMAX IN MEMS DRESS.
Editor of the London Tailor Declares
That No More Changes for the
Better Need he EaSected.

That mans style of attire is now
practically Interchangeable, was the
ground taken by NJ. T. H. Holding, ed
itor of the London Tailor, in lecture
at st. James hall the other night.
1--WE have" he said, reached final
.ity as far as the dress of the English
gentleman is concerned. The trousers
of to-day will not only be the trousers
for the next 50 or 60 years, but of the

Mr.. Holding has nothing but praise
for modarn mans clothes, the Chester
field coat coming in for special praise.
.The Chesterfield is the permanent

TO CHANGE THE RULES.
New System of Rating to he Inaugu-
rated by the New York Yacht
Club management

The committee on measurement OF
the New York Yacht club, appointed to
, consider the advisability of change IN
the rating rule, which has been found
fault with because of the ease with
which, under ih freak,boats are being
developed, will submit its report to the
club at its annual meeting.
The committee recommends new
rating rule by which the rating meas
urement is found by multiplying the
length of the yacht, obtained as pro-
vided for, by the square root of the sail
area, and dividing the result by five
times the cube root of the displace-
ment. This is radical change from
the old formula.
This report is of international inn
portance and will affect the measure
ment of yachts not only in this country
but in Europe.
The correspondence between Sir
srhomas Upton and Commodore Led
yard disclosed the fact that the new
measurement, if adopted, will not APP
ply to the cup races nextyear.
The order for the new cup defender
in the races with Sir Thomas Lipton's
Shamrock Ill. has been placed with the
Herreshoifs at Bristol, X. |. Plans fof
the new craft were drawn up many
weeks ago in anticipation of the chal-
lenge and orders were placed for con-
struetional metal and other requisites,
SO the builders. are now practically
ready to begin work as soon as the
material has been assembled.
The condition of affairs about the
boatshops, however, indicates that
operations ON the craft may not be
commenced for a month or six weeks,
as the builders are constructing n set
of boatshops, in one of which the new
boat will be built, and it will take 30
days to finish the sheds.

THE BATTLE OF TAKU.
Tells How Anxious the Americans
We're to Get Into the Fight,

The advance sheets of Josef Her
rings book, "The Battle of Taku," Of
which engagement he was an eyewit-
ness, says, discussing American non
participation:
THE Monocacy, called by the Chi
.iftrikisiT5r ut ire sea, because
it was Il sidewheeler. was anchored oil
the railway depot al Tong ku before
The bumbardment. The last train from
Tientsin brought hundreds of fugi-
tives, many of whom were taken on
board the Monocacy, it having received
orders from Washington not to take
part in the lighting,
This displeased the American Off
GERS. When mingling with the officers
of other nations ON the wharf on the
Pei-llo the Americans expressed dis
satisfaction. The foreign officers gen
orally sympathized with the feelings
of the Americans, who did not want to
see the fight without taking hand in
it. Capt. White did not share in this
public discussion of the United States
action, which was confined to the
juniors.
During the bombardment the Mon
ocacy was struck By two shells from
the fefts.- capt. Rite would fike 10
have gone into action then. but could
not d 50 because his vessel was
crowded with noncombatants."

A COLLEGE COMBINE.
Institutions Uniting in Matt.r of
Entrance Examinations.
The Report of the College Examina-
ton Entrance Board shows GRAFT
flying Progress Made During
the Past Year.

| NrdtliS ing proSreSs Is noteu Dy the
college examination entrance board
in its second annual report, just is
sued by Secretary Thomas ). FiSke.
The board il composed of the heads
of most of the leading educational
institutions of the country, Its ul-
innate aim is to hold examinations
in every city of the United States,
and at the most important points
abroad, which shall be accepted for
admission to all colleges and univer-
stiles. The formation of the college
entrance examination board repre-
sents the largest cooperative under
taking that has yet characterized
American educational development,
and suggests in some ways those
combinations that have marked re-
cent progress in the manufacturing
and commercial world. The number
of places in which examinations were
held this year is 1870, against go last
year The number of candidates in
creased from 973 to 1862, and the
number of colleges to which admis-
sion was sought by the candidates
examined increased from % to 3j.
The principal points in which the
work of the board represents an adj
vance with respect to examinations
that have hitherto been held for adj
mission to college are, according to
the report:
l. The principle of cooperation be-
tween colleges.
2. Stability in the subjects in which
examinations are held. The defini-
tons adopted by the board are not
chosen arbitrarily, but are based
upon recommendations made after
long consideration by representative
bodies of scholars such as the Amer
lean Pathological association, the
American Historical society. the
American Mathematical society, and
the Modern Language association.
These definitions will not be altered
every year or two; if they are altered
at all il will be only by cooperativ
action.
3, Cooperation between the sec
ondary schools on the one hand and
the colleges on the other at point
in which each class Of institutions is
vitality interested.
1. Uniformity of academic stand
ards whereby the comparative cduca
tional efficiency " cvary community
and institution throughout the entire
country may he measured.
5. Economy Of time. money and
effort in the administration of col
ltge admission requirements.
Over lcO secondary schools pre-
pared candidates, for the examinn-
tions held last June. This list covers
the whole country from Maine to
California, comprising institutions of
superior type. Two important
municipalities are stated to have al
ready voted Ia make the examina-
lions of the board the basis of gradu-
alton from the public high schools.

water as the penguins, but it is not there that they awake the highest iii. terest. Thousands of penguins breed
 on Nelson Island, but notwithstanding this that is not one of the best places
 to study their life. What will ever make
 the penguins so comic and so irresisti-
 ply attractive is their striking resem-
 blance to a caricature of man. In this
 way they are only surpassed by the
 monkeys Their upright position when walking, of course, is the principal fac tor to this; but the whole shape of the body contributes to the impression, which is confirmed by their method of walking, their smooth, totally black back, with the long tail bent straight down, hiding the feet. In this clear air With only white and black, and with no means of judging the distance, I have often found it difficult to make sure II 1t was man or peguin that walked on the snow. Under those cir cumstances how irresistibly funny are not all the doings of these animals, whether they are walking on the snow and rocks, or standing there talking to one another, or trying with clumsy movements to jump up steep slope. When standing near they irresistibly remind one of a fat little man elegantly dressed in black evening coat with White waistcoat- t-Correspondence I,on- don Times.

private individual more eager than ju- dicious; if superfuous, the effect is the same.
 To let well alone is an axiom synony- nous with sound practice. To say that details of matters not belonging to the province of common knowledge should be left in the hands of selected and competent persons is another way of expressing the same truth. The con- trary method, that of prying and open- mouthed publicity, is incompatible with successful business with the public ser vice, and with the very desirable ex- tinetion of the alarmist neurosis.-From the Lancet.

LAFAYETTE AND RoCHAMBEAU

LAFAYETTE AND ROCHAMBEAU.
 I,afayette. who brought nothing but his word to the help of Washington, is more of a popular hero than the skill ful soldier who not only gave the rev olutionists the aid of 5000 trained French troops sent by Louis XVI, but seems by his conduct and general be- havior to have set an example of dis cipline and loyalty to the commanders he served with that some of Washing tons own countrymen were much in need of. In the last two years of the war Rochambeau gave important aid to the united colonies and took, with his troops an equal share with the Americans in the operations that led up to the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown, which in effect ended the war Lafayette was not in the same class as a soldier with Rochambeau and after their return to France the differ ence between the two was even more marked, Lafayette became an agitator and helped along the movement that ended in the Revolution and developed into the Terror, and ultimately had to flee the country. Rochambeau played the loyal soldier to the last, and was for a time a prisoner and in danger of death from the storm which Lafay- cite had helped to raise. That he should have been relegated to second place to Lafayette as popular hero is only an- other instance of the theatrical loon- ing larger than the real soldier.-Mon- treal Gazette.
