Suede Gloves.

and white is given the preference,
than black or pearl gray. The sixteen
and twenty button length accord with
the elbow and short sleeve, therefore
those are in the majority for evening.
Shoes now match the costume exactly
as to color and such variety of shades
in suede, leather or satin is without
precedent. One dealer in high priced
shoes, boasts of having ninety shades
on view. A ribbon laced through
large eyelets and tied in a handsome
bow on the instep is almost universal
for the half high shoe. There are also
an endless variety of beaded knit and
satin slippers, with one or many straps
calculated to show handsome open
work hosiery. A beautiful accessory
to low necked evening dress, is 6

very deep fOunce on the bottom of
the skirt, also with several rows of
shirrings and finished at the top by a

shirred around tina square low neck to
form several narrow puffs. A wide gir-
die of howered silk gave a touch of
color. Dotted null is another lovely
material for young persons, and small
pufts and rows of insersion with full
baby waist, preserves simplicity to a

Mr.. Eox's Toilet,

On one trip through the Ken
tucky mountains performed by John
Fox, Jr., in pursuit of "local color"
he stopped overnight at a cabin,
where he slept up next to the clap
boards and went down n ladder to
breakfast. He washed his face in q
creek below the house and dried it
on n siding of coffee sack hung
against the logs for family use and
combed his hair with his own comb
before a piece of broken glass stuck
between the chinking and daubing.
AS he was making his toilet he
was closely observed by the small
boy of the family, who was clothed
in a pair of cottonade pants hitched
to iiickory shirt, with one "gallus"
fastened by a nail. Shoes and hat
were lacking, and his hair hadn't
been combed for six weeks. He
watched the visitor 30 closely that
Mr.. Fox thought he was making al,
excellent impression on the young
barbarian. As he put on tile last
touch the boy, unable TO contain
himself longer, broke in.

THE LIBERTY CAP.
lte Origin and Significance and Those
Who Have Worn II.

!te Origin and Significance and Those
WHO Have Worn 1t.
The liberty cap, that bag shaped
hcadgcar 50 often seen on the head
Of the Goddess Of Liberty, owes its
origin to the Roman empire, where
it was given TO slaves as q sign Of
their manulnission. The principal
significance Of the liberty cap to
the American mind is not, however,
its Roman origin, but rather its use
as the official cap of the successive
dogcs Of republican Venice, that
"modcl of the most stable govern
mcnt ever framed by man" In the
dogcs' palace at Venice there is
gallery full Of portraits Of the men
who ruled tie republic for 700
years, and the conspicuous place oc-
cupicd by the liberty cap in these
portraits shows its Importance as a
national symbol Of freedom.
1t rather hcigl:cns the signif-
canoe Of this ancient symbol in the
minds Of good Americans when it is
remembered that the Emperor Fred
erick Barbarossa humblcd himself
before Il wcarcr Of the liberty cap
and that Andrea Dandolo wore it on
the fourth crusade and at the con-
quest Of Constantinoplc. 1t occu-
pied Il place in the forefront Of the
advancing hosts that in the carly
part Of the fifteenth century swept
thc Dalmatian towns and conquered
The entire coast from the estuary of
tho Pc to the island Of Corfu.
While Columbus was discovering
America the wcarcrs Of the liberty
cap were acquiring Zantc and Cy-
prus, and when the first half Of the
half starved settlements on the Mas
sachusctts coast were battling for
existence the republic from which
we borrowed our liberty cap, having
successfully resisted Il league of all
the kings of Christcndoln, was at
the zenith Of its glory.
The liberty cap is not as conspic-
nous in our national signs and sym
bols as it was in those of the rulers
of the Adriatic, yet in q modest way
it immortalizcs the greatest rcpub-
lie of early imes-ExcLange.

A Money Loving RAT.

A rat has recently caused consid-

family. A gentleman on leaving his
office i'll Paris locked up in his cup
board for temporary safety a can
vas bag containing about fifty gold
coins. Next morning when he went
to fetch the money to put in the
bank the cupboard was as bare as
that Of Mother Hubbard. The po-
lice were called in and set to watch
certain suspected persons, but in the
meanwhile some one noticed small
hole in the cupboard, suggesting a
four legged thief. So small parcels
OF meat were locked up in the cup
board for two nights. These also
disappearing, some of the woodwork
was taken up, and the remnants of
the meal showed the way to rat
hole four feet away where the re-
mains of a canvas bag and the miss
ing coins were duly discovered

The treasury Of the United States,
next 10 the English court Of chancery,
is probably the most extensive de-
pository of unclaimed wealth in the
world. The secretary Of the treasury
has in his possession in cash alone
oyer 81 800, 900, and there arc many
other millions in his custody in the
form Of bonds and other securities
that seem to have no owners.
Maybe you have some old papers
left behind by miscrly uncle or an
eccentric aunt. If SO, it might be
worth your time to look them over and
find out if by chance they include
documentary evidence of claim for
one Of the snug little fortunes which
now lie in the treasury payable on
demand in gold or treasury notes to
their proper owners. Should you
come across anything Of the kind it
vii! be readily recognizable. because
it will be in the shape Of an expired
bond.
Somewhere, in just such situations
one here, two or three there and u
package Of them in another place-a
lot Of bonds Of this description are
lying about, mislaid or hidden. They
have ceased to draw interest because
the terms for which they ran have ex-
pired, but, as promises to pay by
Uncle Sam, they are as good as ever
for their face value. More than $780,
600 worth Of them date back to 1886
and earlier. The total is 1896, ,62O
surely big sum to be withheld
from the pockets Of persons who arc
rightfully entitled to the money. Of
course, when bonds are called in at
the end Of their interest bearing term,
it is expected that the holders will
send them to the treasury, through
the banks or otherwise, aud receive
their face value in cash. So they do,
but not always. People sometimes
hide their bonds and then die, or
other accidents happen, and, as re-
suit, the documents never turn up.
If they are not found they remuin uu.
paid and the government is just 30
much in pocket. Every now and then,
however, a few of such expired bonds
are discovered III some odd corner or
hiding place and are sent in for re-
demption. They are just as good as
ever and nothing is lost except the
interest on the money.
There seems never to have been
loan issued by the United States that
has not had hangover balance Of
this kind. Sometimes it has boen
very small, os in the case Of the loan
of 1882, which was al paid of but
$500, and the loan Of 1863, which
shows only one 800 bond missing.
On the other hand, the largest out
standing claims Of this nature against
che government are for the $50 notes
i OF 1862 equivalent to oonds), which
s.Ihibit on the account of books Of the
'geasury an unpaid balance of $685.
