The long coat for women is said to
have been introduced by Nine de Pom
padour as the correct" riding coat at
the time when she organized the royal
hunting parties at Versailles. This in
noyation, like everything decreed by
the ''grande marquise," was scrupu-
lously followed by the ladies of the
court No sooner had she set the eX
ample by wearing this becoming gar
meht than the entire train of both
king and queen adopted this more prac
teal form of dress in preference to the
flOwered silks and satins worn hither
to. In this way Nine de Pompadour
rendered the sport easier to the ladies
who preferred riding. The coat was
carried out i'll a bright colOred cloth re-
lieyed with fancy galloon or embroider
les. The most effective material how
ever, was velvet in variety of beau
tiful shades. This becoming fashion
was still much in vogue during the
''reign" of Nine. Du Barry. In well
known portrait by Drouais she is rep
resented in the popular embroidered
velvet hunting coat and, curiously
enough, wearing a mans powdered
wig

A Famous Whist Hand.

The most notorious hand Of whist
ever played is that known as 1.-THE
Duke Of Cumberland's hand.' 1t has
never been definitely settled how this
hand cnmc to be dealt, but such pc
cular combination naturally suggests
suspicious of foul play. The duke,
playing in the room at Bath, held In
his hands king, knave, nine, seven or
trumps (clubs) ace, king of diamonds;
ace, king queen, knaye of hearts, and
ace, king, queen of spades, and yet
was unable to secure Il single trick and,
moreover, lost Il bet of 100000 upon
the hand. This incredible result was
achieved as follows: The duke of
course led with a trump and found his
partner void in that suit His left
hand adversary, whom we may call T.,
having ace, queen, ten, eight and his
right hand adversary, H., the remaining
five trumps and no diamonds, the con-
sequence was that Il. trumped diamonds
twice and Y. sitting over the duke
with better trumps, after taking the
sixth trick had the lead with the seven
remaining diamonds, aud thus Y. and
u. made the thirteen tricks.

An English Ghost story.

A remarkable ghost story is told In
the parish of Burton Agnes, England.
There years ago lived three sisters OF
the name of Boynton. The youngest
OF the three exacted the promise from
the others that on her death her head
should be placed on Il table in the hall.
She met with an accident shortly after
which resulted in her death. Her sis
ters neglected their promise to her,
and she was buried, head and all. But
on the night after the burial the hall
was thrown into terrible confusion, and
the dead lady appeared to her sisters
with her head under her arm. She
upbraided them with their neglected
promise and, placing the head on the
table, disappeared. Iii the morning
the head was still there, and on the
coffin being dug up the body was found
to be headless Any attempt to re
move the head was followed by dis
turbances during the night. 1t was
even buried at a distance from the
house, but was restored by the ghost.
Eventually the head disappeared, but
the disturbances continue nightly In
the hall

That's what People Do Who Do Not
Masticate Their Food.

People who swallow their food whole
are insulting their teeth The teeth are
there to perform their duty, and the
one who fails to use them is implying
that they are not lit for the duty as
sigued them. Again he is letting them
get rusty by disuse
Don't favor the teeth until it is nee
essary. Give them plenty Of work to
do. Eat CruSts, and when eating meat
spare not the work of the teeth
Few people will eat food from dirty
fingers, yet hosts of men, women and
children eat food with poorly kept
teeth. What kind of care of the stOm-
ach is this?
Dressing tables and vest pockets are
filled with nail files. but the silk thread
or the rubber band for removing parti-
cleS of food from between the teeth is
more essential If the person who neg
lects his teeth would look often in the
glass and smile broadly he would know
how his greetings affect his friends
This is not vanity. 1t would remove
from many every particle of cOnceit
Any smile is spoiled by lily kept teeth
Brush the teeth before and after eat

Marie Antoinette's Milliner.

Among those persons to whom Marie
Antoinette queen Of France, paid<par-
ticular attention was her milliner, Mile
Bertin. When the queen entered Par
is in 1779 the milliner placed herself in
q balcony with thirty of her work
women, and her majesty as she passed
waved her hand to her, This public
distinction made her fortune. The
milliner acquired such Importance
from her interviews with the queen
that she used in her shop the same
language the minister used concerning
the audiences he had with her royal
customer in the cabinet. When fas
tidious woman could not be pleased
with the various caps presented to her
choice Mile Bertin would observe,
"Show the lady some specimens of my
last consultation with her majesty"

THE MINIATURE.
How the Term Came to Mean IA Very
Small Portrait.


Miniature painting originated in the
practice of Illuminating manuscript
books, when small pictures were intro
duced with the initial letters or upon
the borders. These initial letters were
usually painted in red, Latin minium;
hence these small pictures were termed
miniature.
After the invention of printing and
engraving this art entered upon new
phase Copies in small of celebrated
pictures We're made. and the demand
was particularly great for portraits,
and so the term miniature came to
mean very small portrait. One of the
most famous miniature painters was
Holbein, and Samuel Cooper, Il Lon
doner, was also an expert. Milton sat
to him, and il is said that Louis XIV.
offered $50 for his picture Of Oliver
Cromwell.
Photography checked miniature paint
ing for time, but of late there has
been 4 notable revival of the art. In
olden time miniatures We're often paint
ed on velum or on copper or silver
plates. Now ivory Is the medium com
monty employed.

An agriculturists' paper tells this
yarn: A poultry fancier who kept
some fowls in field beside a railway
line fed the fowls on wheat, but the
sparrows would come by the score and
steal it from them. The fancier did
not know what to do to stop them. At
last he decided to feed the fowls on
Indian maize, thinking that it would
be too large for the sparrows to swal-
low. He went again next day, and to
his surprise there were just as many
sparrows as before. They We're taking
their corn in their beaks and laying it
on the rails, waiting for train to go
over it and crush it so that they could
eat it.

Liked One Legged Wives.

The late Augustus Hare tells OF
one legged woman who became the
third wife of a prosperous widower.
One day while searching the closets
she came upon two cork legs, each la
beled with the name Of q different wo-
man. In fear and rage she went
among the relatives of her husband
asking questions. But they pacified her
by saying that both his first and sec
ond wives had also been obliged to
wear an artificial limb and that the
husbands marrfed life in each case had
been so happy that he had sworn new
er to marry any but one legged wo-
man.

If you have nything new to offer, or

get the people coming your way, to

every customer you secure you will
more than likely secure another

her associates, and thus the news
will spread that you have the best
