The CLOTHING OF AMBASSADORS.

There introduced in the closing hours Of the re-
session of congress- resolution which fortunately
perhaps adopted. The purpose of that resou-
ton designate the kind Of clothes that may be
by diplomatic representative Of the United States
in performing the functions of his mission either in
official a semi-offcial capacity.
The resolution provided that these diplomats should
clothe themselves the ordinary garb by civilians
and citizens like occasions in the United States. This
blow directed at Mr.. Charemagne Tower the Ameri
ambassador to Germany who, it is said has pro-
vided himself with official uniform decorated with
small of gold braid. By doing that he has aroused
the criticism Of those persons who think the president
should smoke corncob pipe and put his feet the
mantelpiece Jackson did.
But why should anybody seek to interfere with the
United Staes Why not leave that to the good
common Of the diplomats themselves? Is there
call for simplicity than there in the
early days Of the republic when foreign ministers
permitted to coats with embroidered collars
and cuffs. white brooches with gold knee buckles white
hose with gold buckled shoes, combined with three
cornered hat with white ostrich plume for ornament?
The truth is that if American ambassadors were com
PEELED appear in court abroad dressed the ordinary
civilian dresses here similar occasions he would ap-
pear at different times in sack frock cutaway coat
and he adopted the dress of society in the United States
he might time be mistaken for the who served
the punch

Thirteenth Century Children.

Somebody has unearthed q book
written by Bartholomew Anglicus
about 1860, of which one of the most
amusing chapters is on the children of
his day. OF these he writes: ''They
dread no perils more than beating with
a rod, and they love an apple more
than gold and make more sorrow and
woe for the loss of an apple than for
the loss of heritage. They desire all
that they see and pray and ask with
voice and with hand. They keep no
counsel, but they tell all that they hear
and see. Suddenly they laugh and sud
denly they weep. Always they cry and
jangle and jape; that unneth they be
still while they sleep. When they be
washed of filth, anon they detile them
selves again. When their mother wash
eth and combeth them. they kick and
sprawl and put with feet and with
hands and withstand with all their
might" All of which sounds very
modern and up to date.

Brutal Surgery.

The extreme clumsiness and cruelty
with which operations were performed
even subsequent to the fifteenth CEN
fury would scarcely be credited had
we not authentic descriptions of them
by the operators.
Thus Fabricius of Aquapedents
Q537-1619), the eminent professor at
Padua and preceptor of the immortal
Harvey, describes what he considered
an improved and easy operation in the
following terms: IF it be a movable
tumor, 1 cut it away with redhot
knife that sears as it cuts, but if it be
adhered to the chest l cut without
bleeding or pain with q wooden or
horn knife soaked in aqua FORTS, with
which, having cut the skin, I dig out
the rest with my fingers"
When the surgeons of Edinburgh

A Snurgeon Sermon.

Mr.. Sturgeon, taking quiet holiday
In the country, was moved to spend his
Sunday morning at the little village
bethel, where-nOt, perhaps, greatly to
his surprise-he listened to one of his
own sermons! At the end of the serv-
ice the pastor Of the Metropolitan tab
ernacle walked unrecognized into the
vestry and thanked the preacher for
the edification he had derived from his
sermon. Then the flattered preacher
did a foolish thing and asked his visit
or's name. Mr.. Spurgeon was in the
best of moods. "My name? Oh, Spur.
geon-you may have heard it; l preach
a bit in London myself" "My dear
brothers face" said Mr.. Sturgeon in
telling the story, turned as red as

The EASY Pill.

DeWitt's Little Early Risers do
not grippe nor weaken the system.
They cure biliousness, jaundice,
constipation and inactive livers, by
arousing the secretions, moving
the bowels gently, yet efectually,
and giving such tone and strength
to the glands of the stomach, liver
and bowels that the cause Of the
trouble is removed entirely. These
famous little pills exert a decided
tonic effect upon the organs in
volved, and if their use is contin-
ued for few days there will be no
return of the trouble. R. S. Free
man & Son.
