very wise. On these occasions he
would frequently have long chat with
| me on matters sartorial. and the way
| in which he would discuss the relative
| merits of cheViots and saxonies, pilot
cloths and beaver diagonals and vicu-
mas. and the knowledge he showed OF
all the technicalities of my art used to
amaze me.
"Of course the king pays a good price
for his clothes, but by no means the
fancy prices commonly believed, and
he always gets good value for his
money. In fact. if you were to order
the same things you would have to pay
just the same prices. For trousers, for
instance, he pays from two pounds to
fifty shillings a pair; a frock coat and
vest will cost him eight to ten guineas;
an evening suit perhaps five guineas
more; and a tweed suit eight guineaS.
His wardrobe, as you may imagine,
is very extensive. He rarely wears
pair of trousers more than three or
four times, and he must get through
quite hundred pairs a year he orders
a dozen evening suits yearly, and 9TH
er clothes in like proportion; so that
his clothes, apart from uniforms,
must make big hole in a thousand
pounds a year.
"As for the Kings uniforms I
scarcely think he himself could give
offhand the number of them, though he
could describe each of them down to
the minutest item, and could tell at
glance If any detail were wrong. In
fact, 1 should say the King has al
most the most remarkable memory in
England for many things. His uni
forms, / should imagine, number near
ly hundred. and l should put down
their cost at something like 10000.
Fortunately, the King is a rapid
dresser, and can get out OF and into
his clothes in remarkably quick time
Indeed, of all the customers 1 have
ever had, not one has displayed such
dexterity in this way as the King. In
his younger days he had rather a
weakness for pronounced clothes, but
for many years his taste has been ir-
resproachable for neatness. The sim
pier his clothes are the better he likes
them, and of them all he prefers his
yachting suits of blue serge or a quiet
tweed suit, while to frock coats and
evening suits he is by no means par
tial"

KING EDWARDS TAIL0RS.
From a London Exchange.

The relations between royalties and
their tradesmen are naturally invested
with considerable secrecy, and it is
by no means an easy matter to get
a glimpse of a king in the role of a
customer. A short time ago, however,
the writer was fortunate enough to
meet a gentleman who for some years
was one of King Edwards tailors, and
to learn from him certain facts which
can scarcely fail to prove interesting,
and which there can be no harm IN
publishing.
king Edward" this gentleman said,
may well be called the best dressed
man in Europe, for | have never known
anyone who has such a genius-genius
is the only word that describes his
gift-for knowing what to wear and
how to wear it. Under other condi-
tions he might certainly have made
a name and a fortune by his sartorial
skill.
while other men will spend half
an hour in choosing a pattern for q
pair of trousers, the Prince, as he was
in my time would select dozen in as
many minutes, and each one was fault
less in taste. 1t used to be my duty
to wait on him by appointment at
Marlborouh House with patterns, and
I can truly say that 1 was never de-
tanned more than ten minutes or
quarter OF an hour, although in that
short time he would choose patterns
for perhaps a hundred pounds worth
of clothes.
ELEVEN o'clock in the morning was
the invariable time, and on the very
stroke of the hour the Prince would
enter the room from his library, and,
after a CHEEKY Good morning. get to
work in the most business-like way
imaginable. His punctuality, by the
way, was something amazing; l never
knew him to be a minute late. Once,
indeed, it was just two minutes past
IL by my watch when he made his
appearance, and 1 thought for once
had caught the Prince mapping. But
/ found later that 1t was my watch
and not his royal highness that was
wrong.
"By the way, ] ought to tell you of
how he once quietly rebuked me for
unpunctuality. l had been detained in
the street by an old friend l hadn't
seen for many years. and reached
Marlborough House ten minutes late.
The prince was already awaiting me,
but, to my relief. all he said was,
Good morning, Mr.. --. You see
have beaten you this time OF course,
I explained the reason for my lateness,
and he made the kindest inquiries
about my friend.
Occasionally, as he chose first one
pattern and then another, he would do
me the honor of consulting me. Don't
you think this win make up we'll, Mr..
-?' or This is a pretty cloth, don't
you think SOP And 1t was by no means
merely out of politeness that I Endorsed
his choice, for it was always unim-
peachable.
He would often, too, drop In at my
place to look at any new patterns
might have, and would bring one or
both of his sons with him. He never
attempted to influence his sons choice,
but I always noticed that they follow
ed his lead and chose the same pat
terms as himself-in which they were

than to the right limbs, and make a
person what is generally called left
handed, though in reality a more cor
rect term would be right-minded. On
the other hand, a person having the
speech center on the left will exercise
their right limbs more readily than
their left, and such an individual might
be called left-minded.
Young children, who naturally use
their left hand in preference to their
right are simply obeying the orders is
sued from the brain, and il not taught
to use their right hand will grow up
left-handed When taught from their
earliest years to use their right hand
they find no difficulty in doing so later
on, because the habit becomes so
strong; but / have seen one or two
rare instances where reversion to the
use of the left hand has come about
late in life. One case was after
long attack of fever, when during the
period of delirium the patient bcyHn to
use the left hand more than the fight,
and during the recovery took his medi-
cine with his left hand.
Both sides of the brain are capable
of performing the duties of giving
commands to the limbs, but, as / said,
the orders only come from one side,
either from the right or left; but If the
side upon which the speech center lies
gets injured and is rendered incapable
of performing its duty. then the other
side takes up the work, though 1t re-
quires some time before 1t can do so
properly.
"Supposing a man meets with bao
fall or accident of any kind, which
damages the speech center on the LETT,
he becomes dumb for the time being.
Then the right side slowly learns how
to give orders, and the man gradually
regains power of speech after some
years but in many cases he becomes
left-handed, because now the orders
from the brain are transmitted more
rapidly to the left than to the right.
you have often experienced, l sup
pose, the curious feeling that you have

are two or three theories to account

ing to tie your bootlace, and that the
right side was say a thousandth part
of a second behindhand in grasping
the same idea. the result, when the
right side did grasp it. would be that
you would imagine that you had al
ready tied your bootlace.
"Of course no one could possibly
notice the delay in the action Of one
side of the brain, but the result, when
IL does occur, is to make a person
fancy he had already performed an
action which in reality he had only
thought of performing. and the strang-
gest part of such a hallucination is
that the contemplated action seems
to have been done a long time ago.

Only the simplest exercises will be
used, and all that have a tendency to
strain any of the muscles of the body
will be avoided. No exercises of a vio-
lent nature will be allowed. 1t is prob
able that what is known in the United
States army as the setting up" eXer-

these simple but exceedingly beneficial
exercises more elaborate ones will be
evolved as the occasion and develop

Charlton will personally supervise the
work, though most of the instruction
must necessarily be given by the teach
ers in the different grades.
During last week Supt. Ashmore was
busy arranging seats for the children
Of the first grades who were placed
on the waiting list. There were large
number of these in the Chatham Acad-
envy and Cathedral schools, but ar
rangement has now been made, by a
judicious system of transfers, whereby
nearly all can be accommodated. Seats
will be offered these children in the
Massie and Barnard Street Schools.
These two schools are the ones nearest
to Chatham Academy, and the ones
which offer desk room with the least
inconvenience to all parties.
1t has been learned that there are still
many children who have not applied
for admission cards, owing to the be-
lief that no more pupils could be ac-
commodated. There is still room for
all who apply in most of the grades
and the authorities are anxious that

All the way from the Bermudae the
news comes that a New Yorker, we'll

especially to the children. has recently
bought one of the islands of that IA

This man is w. w Denslow, the au-

on the tapis in the United States at
least. 1t isn't big island, though, be
ing only about ten acres in area. It is
situated in Great Sound, about tn rty
minutes row from Hamilton, and is
covered with a heavy growth of red
cedar, the beautiful and hardy tree so
prevalent in the islands.
In New York it is learned that Dens-

studio and winter home to be erected
upon his new property, where most of

unaffectedly happy in his fresh possess

The work in physical culture in the
row, and hereafter will be a part of
the curriculum. The first instructions
in conducting the work were given to
the different teachers at the session of
the normal class, and all are acquaint-
ed with the methods for beginning the
work. A complete programme has been
mapped out by Supt. Otis Ashmore, and
it is expected that everything will move
off smoothly.
Miss Sara Charlton, who was elect
ed director of the work in physical cul-
ture at the meeting Of the Board of
Education last week, has conferred with
Supt. Ashmore, and is ready to start
the work in the schools. A programme
has been mapped out whereby each
class will be given from ten to fifteen
minutes instruction in the work each
day.
At the weekly meeting of the teach
ers' normal class Miss Charlton was
present and gave the teachers their
first instruction in conducting the work.
A short lecture on the objects of the
course was first given, and then several
different methods were illustrated by
Miss Charlton. Especial attention was
called to the exercises specially adapt
ed for remedying marked weaknesses
in different parts of the body.
Immediately following the lecture on
the different methods of conducting the
work, Miss Charlton formed class of
the teachers and gave them lesson
as an illustration of how the work is
to be done. All entered enthusiastical-
ly into the work, and it is certain that

doctor to the writer the other day,
eve should soon lose the majority of
our practice If we were to continue
giving out our prescriptions, whereas,
by dispensing our own drugs we are
putting a stop to the selling of our
remedies by the druggists"
Naturally the druggists do not like
this, for the doctors do not buy their
drugs at retail, but go to the whole
salers and get the remedies at low
cost. This enables some doctors to
make a profit on the drugs as we'll as
on their professional skill. As a rule
in New York, however, the doctors
make no charge for drugs when fur
nished by themselves, and this, of
course, is to the advantage of the pa
tient in more ways than one. Besides
lessening his expense, he is pretty
certain to get pure drugs, and the
chance of mistake on the part OF the
drug clerk is reduced to the minimum.
