WOULD REFORM PRIZE RING
Abbreviated Apparel Of Fistie Artists
Crates on Nerves of Some
Vanity One Reason.

Dress reform has struck the prize
ring with a vengeance. 1t first began
in England and bids fair to find en-
enlargement here. The costume of a
pugilist heretofore has never been the
source of much concern as long as the
fighter was capable Of putting up a
good bout. In former days boxers
wore knee trunks and sleeveless shirts.
Then ordinary tights were used, and
finally the shirt was discarded alto
gether. II was doned as sHperfuous.
However, many pugilists are vain,
and more than anything else like to
display their manly forms to an ad-
miring crowd. With the shirt dis
carded the fighter may fold his arms,
throw out his chest and pose. But he
takes more pains now to show his legs
than his torso. Consequently trunks
and tights have shown a shrinkage.
II ring apparel is too decollete, sug-
gests the New York Sun, the fact may
be laid to the door Of the fight pro-
moters. Wrestlers are more decorous-
ly dressed when they go on the mat.
Their legs are not bare. There Is no
reason why a lighters under pinnings
should not be covered.

GIRLS ARE QUICK KIssERs.
Princeton, Illinois, Damsels Have Be-
come Adopts in Art of Speedy
Oscillation

Princeton, the capital of Bureau
county, ILL.,, has an odd distinction.
Its girls can bestow a kiss quicker
than any other set Of pretty young
creatures in the state. 1t is related
in the Chicago Tribune that the quick
kissers belonged to the old town, but
when the railroad built its main line
a mile away, a new town was built up
nearer the depot, and there were more
swift osculators than ever. The other
evening a pretty Princeton girl board
ed q west bound train. Several girl
friends accompanied her to the depot,
but she was followed into the car by
a young man. He showed her suit case
under a seat and then looked into her
face. Then she placed a hand on each
Of his arms and before any passenger
knew what she was about she had
kissed him. The young man blushed
and fed, but the sweet kisser wasn't
abashed at all. She knocked on the
window pane to the girls outside. Did
you see that?" she called aloud, so
that everyone in the car could hear
her. They nodded that they had.
Pretty quick movement, wasn't it,"
she called out again, and the beVy of
sweet things out on the platform sig
nailed to her that 1t was up to the
Princeton standard.

BLACKS MORE coNSUMPTIVE
Increase Of Disease Among Negroes
Since Emancipation Is Be
coming Noticeable.

According to DR.. Thomas ]. Mays,
of Philadelphia, pulmonary consump-
ton was comparatively unknown
among the plantation slaves of the
south before the war, while in the
large cities of the south o. IL was no
more prevalent among them than it
was among the whites. In Charleston,
S. c., the negro death rate of con-
sumption in 1860 was the same az
among the whites-viz, LIS; in 1876,
whites 200, negroes SOS; in 1890,
whites 3.55, negroes $50; In 1902,
whites LAB, negroes STA Before the
civil war insanity, like consumption,
was comparatively rare among the ne
gro slaves. According to DR.. T. o.
Powell this disease increased 705 per
cent. among these people from 1870 to
1890 in Georgia. The same is true Of
North Carolina, for DR.. ]. F. Miller,
superintendent of the eastern insane
hospital of that state, declares that
from 1885 to 1896 insanity increased
ESQ per cent. among the colored people
in that state. The conclusion of DR..
Mays, which was presented to a recent
medical congress, was that slaves as
property were better cared for than
free negroes cafe for themselves. AS
to the future, campaign Of educa-
ton" is suggested.

POSTWAR FOR EACH TONGUE
Cosmopolitan Letter Carriers Are Now
Employed by Authorities Of
Singapore.

1t is in Singapore where the British
post Office authorities employ letter
carriers for each language. In that
city there are so many different races
who receive correspondence addressed
in their own native language that
proper delivery is extremely difficult.
In several districts it has been found
necessary to send the postmen upon
their rounds in sets of three. One of
these, Malay, in charge Of all pack
cts for Europeans, Jews, Armenians,
Malays, Arabs, Parsees and Japanese,
which are presumably addressed in
European script or in writing akin to
it. The second of the tro is China
man, who deals with correspondence
bearing Geographic characters, while
the third Is Tamil, who delivers let
tiers addressed in the writing of his
own race, as well as any in Telegu
and southern Indian writing. These
cosmopolitan postmen have, Of course,
often to consult each other as they de-
liver the mails, but sometimes even
their varied linguistic attachments
have to be supplanted by a Sikh who
understands Hindostani, Persian and
the characters Of northern India

NEW RIBBONS FOR WINTER
They Combine the Softness and Sheer
ness Of the Broad Silk
Weaves.

The new ribbons have taken to them
selves all the softness and sheerness
that characterize the broad silk weayes,
and the printings in the dull and faded
tones that are seen on the expensive
crepes, gauzes and chiffons are all re-
produced in the ribbons. In fact, some
houses are making a special feature OF
broad silks and ribbons in the very same
designs, and a delightful note Of color
contrast is introduced in the latter in
the way OF borderings.
Ribbons broad and ribbons narrow, as
well as those of medium width, all find
novel applications upon the dressy
gowns. With printed eenters the bor-
ders are often in two shades of con-
trasting color, and these borders are In
green, rose, blue, brown and violet, &C
cording to the color scheme Of the gown.
Some exquisite ribbons are shown with
q metallic gold border, Just the same
weave as appears on the military uni
forms Of those OF high rank, and q
beautiful effect is thus given to q one
color gown.

FIuRed-Man Plays Dirge.

Whether or not there Is an increasing
determination on the part OF the people
to live right, there seems to be an in
creaslng determination to die in the
most becoming manner, says the Wash
ington Star. Men and women, not par
ticular as to the way they live, become

treal, Ind, q woman before committing
suicide sent to the undertaken q check
for her burial expenses. It was not hon
ored by the bank at which the woman
had a deposit because il was not re-
ceiyed by the undertaken till after the
Eoman's death, the bank holding that
then the deposit belonged not to the
woman who killed herself, but to her
heirs. In New Philadelphia, o., a girl
closed her life by drinking carbolic
acid. She left a note bidding her friends
good-by, and asking that she be buried
in white satin and with her hair
fiuffed." The poor girl was mindful Of
her appearance to the last. She wanted
to look her best in her final exit. A
man in Vienna recently played a dirge
on the piano and then shot himself He
did the best he could to furnish the
music for his own funeral. Perhaps the
character of the music might have
prompted the rash deed, but even in
this event it would have been more fit

HISTORY OF THE MUFF.
A Decree Of the French King Once De
termined the Colors and
the Furs.

do you know that the color Of a mum
once betokened the rank Of the wear
err" said a furFisr the other day as no

when the mum first came to US from
France. in the days Of Charles TX, no
lady could have worn this fur. for black
was decreed by the king to be the badge
OF the common people, and the court fol-
lowers were restricted to the colors.
Muffs have gone through more styles
than it would seem possible to invent
for such a simple article of convenience.
They have been long and narrow and,
again, large and round. One OF the
most curious styles was that of Louis
XIV, called the 'chiens mauchons,' be-
cause they were made to convey little
dogs in.
The nun when first introduced was
the exclusive property Of the nobility.
These muffs were very small and con-
sisted OF a single piece Of velvet, bro
cade or silk lined with fur and the open
ings fastened with rich jewels. Such
arrangements came in during the early
part of the seventeenth century.
I'VE now associate the mum only with
cold weather, but in the old days 1t was

Mr.. Charles c. Glover. a prominent

penses OF the inaugural ceremonies

lie subscription, and il is calculated
that $4,000 will be required to induct
President Roosevelt into Office on the
4th Of March, with all the honors and
glory betting a man who has re-
ceiVed the greatest popular indorse-
ment Of any presidential candidate in

money is likely to be refunded, as
there are several sources of revenue
connected with the Inauguration.

THE STYLE IN PERFUMES.
To Be Up-to-Date You Must Be Very
Careful in Their Sc
lection

With respect to perfumes, as in most
other things, Dame FASHIONS particu-
lar within Just now is consistency. In
England, where most American fash
ions have their blrth-lor Paris fash
ions usually come TO US by way Of
London, their earlier Royal
Shamrock" is the rage just now.
But whatever your particular fancy
may be, having made your choice, you
must abide by II, at any rate for the
day, which, in this tickle age, is quite
long time.
Everything about you, your toilet
water and soap, your boudoir, your
gowns, your noIepaper and envelopes,
even your lap dog. must be perfumed
accordingly. Indeed, if you want to
display your complete subservience to
Fashions autocratic DEGREES, you will
hang a locket containing the selected
perfume on your chain. The only con-
ISOLATION you have is that tomorrow
you may change your policy, and shed
delicate perfume Of, say, altar of
roses, around you.
To some this fashion may seem rath-
er irksome, says the New York World.
Many women like TO change their
scents with their frocks, but they
must take heart of grace in the
thought that things might be much
worse, and probably will be some
day.
Consistency has at least one merit
it Is easy. For instance, you de-
eide that tomorrow shall be a Sham
rock" day; there is, at any rate, the
satisfaction Of having only one per-
fume to think about at a time.
Many women like TO be known by q
peculiar scent, just as the countess was
In Diplomacy" though it was thought
less Of her to leave such distinct proof
OF her fair fingers having handled q
stolen dispatch.
Queen Victoria favored lavender wa
ter, almost the only celebrated scent in
which England is prominent Nova

our most fragrant essences from Italy,
the south of France, and even India.
Ex-Empress Eugene, again, has all o
Spaniard's love for strong perfumes, her
fayorites being lemon, verbena and
sandalwood.
Princess Christian has succumbed to
the fascination Of Shamrock" and like
wise Nine. Rejane and Nine Calve; but
Nine. Sarah Bernhard clings persist
emily to her beloved Violettes de

The empress Of Russia is said to spend
10000 a year on perfumes, paste, soaps

her exclusively from the French capital.
Violet is her majesty's favorite scent to
her taste in perfumes is so catholic and
general that every day she vaporizes the

essences Of lilac. jasmine, narcissus, jon

Andrew Jackson Banta, for 81 years

from the stove he found that the rub
Der had melted and that about q quart
