The Last of the RuffS.

In 1862 the rage for ruffs. such as are
seen on many monumental eftigies, be-
gan to decline. A writer in the Lon
don Chronicle of that year says of gen.
tlemen's dress. Their cuffs entirely
cover their wrists, and only the edges
of their rufies are to be SEEN"
1t is said that a distaste for ruffs
was first created so far back as 1913.
when woman named Turner wore
them on her trial for the murder by
poison Of Sir Thomas Overbury. The
French revolution of 1880 much infiu-
enced British fashion, and the pictur-
esque cooked hat and ruff1es then gave
way generally to round hats and small
cuffs.
The period of their final disuse can
not be easily determined, as men of old
fashioned Or eccentric habits have
worn ruffied shirt fronts within quite
recent memory similar to those which,
according to Planche's History of
British Costume" originated in the
seventeenth century.

From the facts that can be obtained
it seems to have been universally true
that almost up to the beginning of the
nineteenth century the death rate Of
large cities exceeded the birth rate.
This was not because the birth rate
was abnormally low, but because the
death rate was abnormally high. In
the medieval city both birth rate and
death rate were far higher than at

EfncOIn'S Fees.

AS rule, Abraham Lincoln's fees
were less than those of other lawyers
of his circuit. Justice Davis once re-
monstrated with him and insisted that
he was doing a grave injustice to his
associates at the bar by charging so lit
tie for his services. From 1850 to 1860
his income varied from $4,000 to $4,000,
and even when he was recognized as
one of the ablest lawyers of the state
his fee book frequently shows charges
of So, S. and 81 for advice, although
he never went into court for less than
$40. During that period he was at the
height of his power and popularity
and lawyers of less standing and talent
charged several times those amounts.
But avarice was the least of his faults.

Rats and Their Food.

The capacity of rats for discovering
fresh stores of food is astounding and
often leads to those united migratory
movements that periodically create
alarm and are described as plaques
of rats" These great movements are
undoubtedly initiated and personally
conducted" by old and experienced
rats, the aldermen of the colony, at
once a proof of highly developed in
teliigence and unselfishness. Rats in
large centers of industry, if not pres
ent in commercial plague form, do a
great deal of good as consumers Of
garbage that would otherwise become
a perilous nuisance. 1t is also a popular
delusion that a rat bite is unusually
dangerous from this fact of sewer
garbage eating. On the contrary, rats
cut as clean as new lancet.-Pall Mall
Gazette.

Why a Boiled Lobster as Red.

In all crustaceans, as, indeed, in al
most everything in nature, there is a
certain per cent of iron. Upon boiling
the lobster is oxidiZed. The effect is
largely due also to the percentage of
muriatic acid which exists naturally in
the shell. The chemical change which
takes place here is almost similar to
that which occurs in the burning of
brick. In boiling a lobster its coat
ceases to be living substance, and to a
certain extent it takes a new charac-
ter.
1t is as brick would be after burn
ing. This effect can also be produced
by the sun, but necessarily not so rap
i'd, as the heat of that luminary, al
though more intense, is not concentrat-
ed sufficiently to produce the result.
The sun also exercises a bleaching in
fuence which consumes the oxide al
most as fast as it is formed, leaving
the shell white or nearly pure lime.

Questions Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the larg-
est sale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grandmothers
never thought of Using anything else for
Indigestion or Biliousness. Doctors
were scarce, and they seldom heard of
Appendicitis, Nervous Prostitution or
Heart Failure, etc. They used August
Flower to clean out the system and stop
fermentation of undigested food, regu-
late the action of the liver, stimulate the
nervous and organic action of the system
and that is all that they took when feel
ing dull and bad with headaches and
other aches. You only need few doses
of Green's August Flower, in liquid form
to make you satisfied there is nothing
serious the matter with you. You can
get this reliable remedy at all druggists.

Happiness.

We are forever children. When we
are infants we cry for the moon; when
we are grown up we cry for happiness
And we always cry for the wrong
thing because we never know what is
good for US. 1t is a mans lot to mis-
take his wants and to be disappointed.
It is bis purpose in life always to
grasp for the useless thing, to strive
for that which has no merit to hope
for that which perishes as soon as he
holds it in his hands. We have our
ideal of happiness, but we endeavor
to realize it il ways which are not
good for us.
Happiness. as we perceive it in this
terrestrial sphere, is q saddening illu-
sion. 1t never lasts, because it cannot.
1t never satisfies, because it is not made
to satisfy. The land of Ell Dorado for
ever remains east of the sun and west
of the mOon-that is, nowhere. 1t is
the fatal morgana, the mirage of the
desert of life. Happiness remains
happiness while t is an Illusion Nor
tally is not made to hold and to enjoy
it. 1t is mortality's lot to chase jack
O lanterns-to cry for the moon,
which cannot be obtained because it
hangs SO high up in the heavens.-Val-

A Kings Trick.

King Gustavus III. of Sweden had
been frequently invited to the little
court of Schwerin. In 1888 he paid a
visit to Germany, and as soon as the
Duchess of Mecklenburg heard of his
approach she prepared fetes in his
honor. But Gustavus, who disdained
the petty courts of the small rulers,
sent two of his attendants-a page
named Peyron and Desvouges, valet
who had formerly been an actor-to
be entertained by the duchess. The
two personated the king and his min
lister, Baron Spare, and sustained the
characters throughout. They accepted
as their due all the homage meant for
their master, danced with the Mecklen-
burg ladies who were presented to
them, and Peyron went so far as to
ask one of the ladies for her portrait.
Meantime Gustavus was enjoying him
self elsewhere in secret.

chat Had Never Occurred to Him.

When Lafayette visited Loudoun
county he was entertained with the
other eminent guests by President
Monroe at Oak Hill. Leesbur9. too,
the historic town nine miles from Mon
roe'S country seat, accorded him hon
OrS on that occasion. and at Il dinner
at that town John Quincy Adams de-
ivered a famous toast to the surviving
patriots Of the Revolution, who. he
said, were like the sibylline leaves
the fewer they became the more pre-
ciOus they were.
On the return to Oak Hill another of
Monroes guests said to Mr.. Adams:
Excuse the impertinence, but would
you not tell me what inspired the beau
tiful sentiment of your toast today?'
why" replied Mr.. Adams, lit was
suggested this morning by the picture
of the sibyl that hangs in the hall of
the Oak Hill mansion"
How strange" remarked the less
brilliant guest, II have looked at that
picture many times during the past
years and that thought never occurred
to me."-Leslie's Monthly.

Asking Questions of the Cuckoo

A curious legend regarding the
cuckoo is found among the Danes,
which, with some notifications, is like
wise current Iii many parts of Ger
many. in England ana the north of
Europe. When in early springtime the
voice of the cuckoo is first heard in
the woods, every village girl kisses her
hand and asks the question, Cuckoo.
cuckoo, when shall be married:" and
the old folks Inquire, Cuckoo, cuckoo,
when shall be released from this
worlds cares" The bird in answer
continues singing Cuckoo as many
times as years will elapse before the
object of their desires will come to
pass.
But as some old people live to an adj
vanced age and many girls marry late
in life the poor bird has so much to
do in answering the questions put to
her that the building season goes by;
she has no time to make her nest, but
lays her eggs in that of the hedge
sparrow

What He Is Worth.

"What curious habit we have" re-
marked the street car philosopher, ''of
saying that a man is worth SO and so
many thousands of dollars. 1 know
men who have many dollars who, judg-
ed from any reasonable standard that
know, are not worth anything at all.
1t is refreshing to hear occasionally of
men who do happen to be worth a
great deal even though they are
rich and who are anxious that people
should forget they have money and
think of them only for their qualities.
All the same, it always gives me an I'M
pleasant turn when l see a mans
worth put down in dollars" New

Ellen Terry's Toe.

When Ellen Terry was little girl
about ten years old she played Puck in
"a Midsummer Nights Dream" and
had to make her appear .nce through
the stage floor on a trapdoor. The trap
door was shut too soon, and one of the
child's feet was caught. She screamed
with PAIN, and Mrs. Charles Kean
whispered to her: "Be brave girl,
Nellie Finish your part, and you shall
play Arthur in King john" The
trapdoor by this time was opened, but
the childs toe was broken. She, how
ever, pluckily pulled herself together
and finished her speech.

A Bismarck Incident.

It used to be the privilege of Aus
trials representative at any conference
of representatives of the German
states to smoke, the others refraining.
This was supposed to be an acknowl-
edgment of Austria's supremacy. At
the first conference that Bismarck at
tended as Prussia's representative he
began to puff smoke across the confer
ence table as soon as the Austrian dip
lomat lit up. That set everybody pres
ent to smoking on equal terms, and
Austria's supremacy got blow.
