STYLES IN COATS.
Origin Of the Cufnway Frock, the
Sack and the Dress Coat.

The modern cutaway sprang from
the body fitting justaucorps of the
French as known to the courtiers of
Louis XIV. and Louis XIV, and the gar
ment was In turn probably evolved
from the frock or tunic worn in the
fourteenth century.
The first trace of a cutaway in any
thing like its present form. says the
Sartorial Art Journal, is seen In old
prints of French military uniforms,
early Ia the eighteenth century For
civilian use It was worn in England
about 1885 as a riding coat, the tails
being very long. In 1893 it was adopt
ed in France for walking as well as for
riding and was then in shape and cut
much nearer the modern cutaway than
any Of its predecessors, though it was
usually double breasted
Early in the nineteenth century the
cutaway had eight or nine buttons,
only the fourth, fifth and sixth being
used. This admitted of the wearer
showing his neckcloth, fancy waist
coat and frilled shirt to the best adj
vantage, Not till 1910 or thereabout
did the cutaway become almost identi-
cal with the modern garment and since
then the changes in its shape have
been. comparatively slight. In 1871 the
word "cutaway" became a fixture In
the language.
The old colonial uniform worn by
Washington, with its flaps buttoned
back; the coat worn by Nelson at the
battles of St Vincent, the Nile and
Trafalgar. and the coat worn by Napo-
leon when on his way to ST. Helena
were all in a general way similar to
the cutaway frock.
The conventional dress coat Of our
time is a refined younger brother, SO
to speak, Of the cutaway frock, and
for it we are indebted to the French,
who on the other hand credit the Eng
lish with originating the coat that has
evolved into our double breasted frock.
The coat last named was introduced
into France by Montesquieu in the
year 1850.
Incidentally, we may add, the pres
ent black dress coat has by the Eng
lish speaking nations been restricted to
evening wear little more than half a
century. In some continental coun-
tries the dress coat is proper form"
for wear at court or other important
formal assemblages held in the day
time.
The sack coat probably dates from
the ssMacaronies.' who introduced It
into England In 1772, though a gar
ment somewhat similar was worn by
the Roundheads of Cromwelrs day.

TANGLE DISCOVERED in ELECTION Law.


4 tangle has been discovered ID chapter
8 of the laws passed BY the last Legisla-
ture and approved By Governor Stokes
February IS, abolishing spring elections
in townships and boroughs and combining
them with the general election IN Novsm-
Der. The mix-up is giving the county
and municipal political committees con-
siderable trouble, aud the jersey City
Democratic committee has referred the
matter to Attorney General AIcCarter for
an opinion to set the matter straight
The bill was Assembly No. Z, introduced
by Mr.. Gibbs, Of Camden county, and
affects all officers except members Of
school boards or school trustees. Under
its provisions the terms Of all officers ex-
cept justices of the peace hereafter elected
in any township or borough shall commence
at noon January I, succeeding their cleo
ton, and continue for the respective terms
already fixed by law This law makes it
necessary to nominate and elect November
all the officers in the townships and bor-
oughs that would have been elected last
spring under the old law.
The hitch in the arrangement is that The
new law is absolutely silent as to the man-
ner Of nominating the candidates outside
cities This leaves it an open question
whether the primary election Law as applied
to cities should govern and the candidates
be chosen September II, or whether the
candidates for townshinand borough officers
be named in caucus, as under the old law.
The situation is complicated by the fact
that on or before September 2 all petitions
indorsing candidates must be filed with the
township or municipal clerk, and the COM
mittees have no authority as to how to pro-
coed to meet this requirement.

PLAIN LIVING a CURE

The Doctor then declares that constipa-
ton, caused by the hurry and hustle and
neglect, is the cause Of the disease, a slug
gish stomach after particularly heavy
meal, together with a chill or other excit-
ing cause furnishing the ideal conditions
necessary for the attack.
Bring your life down to regular, me-
thodical living. Set apart your hours for
work. your times for eating and sleeping
as well as those for healthful, iudicious ex-
ercise, and YOU will stand in no gre i need
OF special commissions for the study Of this
disease, concludes DR.. Carpenter.

no beauty of form or expression in a

APPENDIX DOLLAR MARK.


That appendicitis is a preventable dis
ease is positively asserted BY Dr.. James S.
Carpenter, Of Pottsville. Penna., in an
article written for medical journal and
which was accorded a prize as the best essay
on the subject.
We do not find, = says Or. Carpenter,
aany country where the disease is more
prevalent than in our own, or, | am sure,
where so frequent operations are UNDER
taken for its cure. And yet, right among
us live people who are 80 seldom affected
by it As to make it Of exceptional occurrence
when a case of the disease appears among
them

dicitis in a negro and have never even

work If they can help it; then they are
almost sure to quit you just when you
need them the worst and are quite
