There may be no question what
ever about your courage, but well
undertake to say that, though
you are as brave as a lion, you
won't want to have anything to
do with that kind of a fray.
Trousers and tatters don't make
just the kind of a combination
that you are hankering after, do
they? Purchasers of Suits OF
Trousers will have the advantage
of our Mark-Down Prices, and
will not be bothered with any
thing of the sort. They are just
as safe from it as though they
had paid-up policy of insurance
against any such kind of un-
pleasantness. If our Suits give
you any hankering at all, they
will give you an ungovernable
hankerning for another one just
like it.

Fashionable Life In Italy.

The fashionable season in Italy, saws
Luigi Villari in Italian Life In Town
and Country" is from Christmas to
Easter, the time generally known as
the carnival. At Naples, Messina and
some other places there is also a sum
mer season. Commenting ON the pc
culiarities of life among the UPPER
classes, Mr. Villari says: ~.
Italians, even in the grandest estab-
ishments, do not wear evening dress
for dinner unless there is a party. A
black coat is enough for ordinary pur-
poses. A few men who wish to be par
ticularly fashionable wear smoking
coat with a black tie, which garment
is sufficient for all save very large din
hand, there are occasions when a man
dons his dress clothes by day. 1t Isl de
rigueur at court functions, even in
mornings, and at weddings. Ladies
wear hats at the theaters except on
gala nights. They display more jew
elry by day than English ladies. The
Italian aristocracy have magnificent
jewels, and even in quite small towns,
where there is no great wealth, the old
families can make a fine display The
tall hat is only necessary at marriag es,
funerals and at court. Young men of
fashion wear it also when paying calls
during the season. Among the bour-
geoisie evening clothes are hardly ever
worn at ALL"

The fate of Hannibal turned upon
the result of promenade. 1t was aft
er he had crossed the Alps and entered
Italy, with winter quarters established
at Capua. His residence was one Of
the best houses in the city, and while
walking in the garden he heard a fe-
male voice singing not far away.
Struck by the tones of the voice, he is
sued an order that the singer should be
brought before him. He was SO greatly
impressed by her charms that he at
once attached her to his household,
disposing of the husband by beheading
him. Retribution followed closely upon
the cowardly preparation of the out
rage. The balance Of the winter was
devoted to pleasure, discipline and
drills were practically abandoned, and
with the advent of spring the Cartha-
ginian army was SO demoralized by
the dissipation of the city that its pres
tige was lost, and with it came the
downfall of Hannibal.

One crisis in Lord Palmerston's life
illustrates the absolute good humOr
which may prevail even when political
enmity is at it's worst. Lord Derby had
made ain attack upon him in the upper
house with such energy and eloquence
that the odds against him seemed over
whelming. But he defended himself
and his policy from the dusk Of one
day to the dawn of another with such
tact, dexterity and force of appeal to
the national sense of honor that he was
acquitted of all blame by a majority Of
fourscore. ........ IL:
Next day in passing through the cor
ridor leading from an anteroom to the
upper house one swing door opened. to
his hand and at the same moment Nhe
other to that of Lord Derby. They
were opponents, but they were also
manly and sweet natured men. They
smiled. g., ~
81 was just thinking" said Palmer
ston, "what a clever fellow he was who
SO nearly put me in a holew
"Ah," was the rejoinder, ''but moth
ing like the cleverness of the fellow
who got you out of it!''

The Affections of the Arab.

An Arab-meaning tent dweller, for
in an equine sense the town dweller is
no Arab-loves first and above all his
horse. Next he loves his firearm; next
to his gun he loves his oldest son. Last
comes his wife or one Of his wives.
Daughters don't even count; / mean
the Arab scarcely takes the trouble to
count them unless in SO far as they can
minister to his comfort, dietetic or 9th
erwise. Until some neighbor comes
along and proposes to marry-in other
words, to make still worse slave of
one of them-she is only a chattel, a
soulless thing. And yet she is said to
be pretty, amiable, helpful being
said to be, for no one by any hap ever
chances to cast his eyes on one worth
seeing This disregard for women, be
it said to their honor, does not always
apply to the Bedouins of the Syrian
and Arabian deserts.

Quaint Court RECORDS.

Among the treasures Of the Ph1ladel-
phia Historical society is the complete
record of the "COurt Held at Uppland
In DelOwar River From 1876 to 1881"
This was the court conducted by the
Swedes, Dutch and English previous to
the granting Of the state to Penn and
previous to its being named Pennsylva-
MIA. The record is quaint. One entry is
Of "Jan Cornellisen Of Amesland, COM
playing to ye court that his son Erik
Is bereft of his NATURAL sences and 10
turned quyt madd;" whereupon it was
ordered that "three or 4 persons bee
hired to build little Blockhouse at
Amesland for to put in the sd. mad
man." In the suit Of Andres Inckhoor-
en- against Constable Andres Homman
it appears from the record that:
"The Pit. complains that this Deft
hath pulled him by the Beard and
twisted his neck, and desires to know
ye reason"

what These Two Terms I'm Medicine
Mean Made Clear.
Pasteur, the great French savant,
founder of the sciences of bacteriology
and preventive medicine, proved in the
first place that the epidemic diseases
are due to minute living organisms,
plants and animals and that for each
definite disease there is a specific micro
organism This was the great funda-
mental fact. Later it became evident
that these microscopic parasites cause
disease by certain chemical poisons
which they produce, called toxins. In
many cases the micro organism, II
grown in culture tubes outside the
body, will produce the same toxins
After being separated from the living
germs which produced them these sub
stances will produce all the symptoms
of the disease when injected into an
animal body. The body at the begin
ming of an attack of fever is not, how
ever, passive. Its cells react against
the poisons introduced and a struggle
death, the fighting being purposeful
and definite. The body cells secrete
a specific chemical body which has the
power of neutralizing or rendering
harmless the particular toxin intro
duced. This antidote to the poisonous
toxin we call the antitoxin. When a
man RECEIVERS from an attack of small
pox, it is because his antitoxins have
proved too strong for the toxins of the
disease, and his after immunity, it
seems probable, is due to the persist
ence within his body of the antitoxins
once produced.-C. e. A. Winslow In

WISDOM OF THE WIDOW.
Views of q Man Who Does Not Agree
With Tony Weller.

with Tony Weller.
The man who marries girl just out
of school has need of much shrewdness.
tact and fortitude, for the first year of
matrimony will produce a violent revo-
luton in her mind. AS she learns to
know her husband-she who has never
seen him except when he had his best
coat on-she will deem him brute and
will be disappointed and disguised, for
she will compare him with that impos-
sible ideal of manhood which every
girl has in her mind and of which he,
of course, falls short. But with ex-
perience will come wisdom. In time
she will understand that her girlhood's
ideal, if she were to have him in the
flesh, would be an unbearable prig,
and that her husband is about as good
as men go and even-if she loves him
little better than the next man.
A widow has all this knowledge Of
men and of the world, which spinster
lacks. A man talks to widow freely
as to one who has found him out. She
is expert in the arts of pleasing him,
and if bright young widow sets her
cap for man he can escape her only
by flight. A widow has no illusions
and no ideals. She is well trained and
used to going double, while the spinster
is an unbroken filly and is bound to
kick up good deal when she first feels
tug at the snatfle.-San Francisco
