GORGEOUS ATTIRE.

Dress Of . Liverpool Merchant In
the Eighteenth Century.
The Liverpool merchant in the latter
half Of the eighteenth century must
have presented by no means unpleas-
ing appearance. al dressed, as a rule,
we are Informed, in suit of one color,
usually light or Of a snuffy shade. The
cut Of his ordinary coat resembled that
Of court dress coat, with standup
collar and gilt, silvered, twist or basket
buttons. His waistcoat was very long,
with large 'haps," containing tapped
pockets, these often decorated with
buttons. His breeches, being short,
were ornamented at the knees with
buckles Of gold, silver or stone, kept
In countenance by large gold, silver or
gilt buckles on his shoes, his legs being
hosed, as a rule, in silk, plain, striped
or ribbed. Rufles at his wrist and
white stock about his throat were an
almost invariable accompaniment, and
on his had cooked hat, pointed in
front and higher at the back than the
sides, over hair dressed into large
cannon" curls on each side of his face,
with cue hanging behind, or it might
be over "tie," "caulifower' or
''brown bob" wig. Thus, with stick or
umbrella, rendered remarkable by rea-
son Of its head of gold, silver, amber
or ebony, would he wend his way to
'town." In "full dress" he must have
even more attractively looked the mer-
chant prince" in his waistcoat Of silk,
satin or velvet rich in color and design,
with long flaps deliberately embroid-
cred, silk breeches and silk hose, with
conspicuous knee and shoe buckles. If
he on occasion dined with the mayor
he might receive an engraved invita-
ton card similar to the following, di-
rected to Mr.. Leece in 1910: "Mr. May
or presents his compliments to Mr..
Leece, begs the favor of his company
on Sunday next to dinner, at O'Clock,
at the Exchange. An answer is de-
sired. 18th July, '76."

4 Role That City Men Are Not Now
Inclined to Play.
There was a time, remembered easily
not shrink from carrying home mate
rails for his dinner. Men Of learning In
those simpler days grasped the eel Of
commerce, as the eel Of science, by the
tail. The statesman with Jovian brow
and blue coat with brass buttons was
very human with a dried Goldfish
wrapped carelessly in brown paper un-
der his eloquent arm. To see highly
respectable citizen with demijohn
was cheering sight. Nor was it be-
meath the dignity Of a painful preacher
Of the word of God to carry a pair Of
trousers to the tailor when the rent
was beyond the skill of domestic in
genuity.
The present civilization may be real
Or chrome; this at least is certain-the
age of carrying bundles is gone so far
as city men are concerned, although no
Burke has celebrated in sonorous prose
its passing. The man protests against
the burden of a can Of peas, a jar Of
marmalade, his wife's bank book. The
youth insists that the two or three COL
lars bought to bridge him over the
weekly coming Of the laundryman shall
be sent home. The schoolboy, however
his mother may coax or threaten, sulks
at the thought Of bundle, for he fears
the ridicule Of snobbishly trained com
panions.
The bundle Is avoided, not respected,
as it was by the great Napoleon. Dem
ocratic simplicity is found only in ira
ditton and in De Tocqueville's book. 1t
Is not surprising that the bundle should
be spurned; that fashionable mother
may not be able to support the weight

we congratulated ourselves upon the
fact that two additional markets had
been opened to US. The shipments
continued for two or three months.
Then came a complaint to the inter
state commerce commission. The
railroads were compelled to abandon
the rate. The new markets were
closed to us. We lost a market for
our -four and the wheat producers Of
the northwest lost a market for their
wheat"
Mr.. Little then turned his attention
to the freight rates that had pre-
vailed within the last two decades.
"The rates are not more than one
half as much as formerly" he said.
81 remember when it cost SO cents to
send a barrel of -four to Chicago.
That was the normal rate under
normal conditions. Now we send a
barrel of -four to Chicago for 20 cents.
That is the regular rate under normal
conditions. The railways have saved
in the cost of production wherever
they could. That is good business
sense and is practiced in every sue
cessful commercial undertaking. The
saving has been presented to the ship
per in the form of lower freight rates.
l take NO stock in the cry of rebates.
am certain there are none. And
am equally certain that the smaller
shipper receives the same rate as is
paid by the heavy shipper. AS said,
there was time when we shipped ten
cars a day. I believe we received
the same rate that the man that
shipped more received. And today
when we are shipping 200 cars a day,
feel no hesitancy in declaring that
we pay as much freight per car as
the man who ships a much smaller
amount.
''Not long ago, I writer for an
eastern magazine sought me. He was
accompanied by friend of mine. Al
though this friend never shipped a
carload of freight, he had many
grievances against the railroads. This
writer was seeking material that
could be used in an article against the
railroads of the northwest. Naturally
he and this friend of mine were warm
friends. When they arrived at my
office, my friend introduced the writer
His words were something like these:
Mr.. Little, my friend is seeking ma

against the railroads. You have been

sit down and tell him all about it.
"And I answered him in something
like this fashion: Your friend, the
writer, will waste his time if he talks
to me. I have no complaint to make.
I can give him no material for this
article. Only such fellows as you,
who have never shipped carload of

MAN or FUTURE

It has already been suggested that
the appendix should be removed from
every infant as routine measure. But
this is clearly insufficient, says the
British Medical Journal. The surgery
Of the future must include far more
than this. The tonsils and turbinate
bones Of the nose must be cut out,
because they may harbor germs. What
Mr.. Arbuthnot Lane calls the human
cesspoop' Chat is, the large intes
tine), must be removed along with a
considerable part Of the upper portion
of the alimentary canal, because it
won't be needed when he begins to
live on NJ Berthelot's tabloids and
pills. The too readily decaying teeth
will be pulled out in early life and
the germ-proof store variety inserted.
The failing human eye will be antici-
pated by spectacles in early youth.
Deficient moral sense and degeneracy
will be treated by ventilation of the
brain and removal of the offending
areas.
Thus protected against the perils of
civilization the man of the coming CEN
turies will be able in. his journey
through life to defy the countless enc
mics that seek to rob him of health
sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans
everything.

ASSASSINATION
IN cZAR'S LAND

Takings-off are so managed in Rus
sia that the very chief of the Third
section has again and again proved un-
able to protect himself, says the Pail
Mall Gazette. Colonel Sudeikin, who
held Office in the late Cars time,
transacted a good deal Of his business
on an upper floor, in an out-of-the-
way street, under a name as common
as the English Smith and always
with the door locked. A visitor had
to knock in certain manner and give
a password that was changed every
day. Yet one day some one knocked,
gave the password, got inside and
opened fire. The colonel was badly
hurt, but he killed his man and reached
the landing-only to be finished off
with an iron bar there by somebody
else. Nowhere does the unexpected
happen oftener than in st. Petersburg
