STYLES IN COATS.
Origin of the Getaway Frock, the
Sack and the Dress Coat.

1T.
The modern cutaway sprang from
the body fitting justaucorps of the
French as known to the courtiers Of
Louis NV. 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 cutaway in any
thing like it's present form, says the
Sartorial Art Journal, is seen in old
prints Of French military uniforms,
early in the eighteenth century, For
civilian use it was worn in England
about 1855 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 it's shape have
been comparatively slight. In 1871 the
word 'cutaway" became 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
Hsh 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
Ish speaking nations been restricted to
evening wear little more than half
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 "Macaronies," who introduced it
into England in 1772, though a gar
ment somewhat similar was worn by
the Roundheads of Cromwell's day.

DoukhobOrs Out Again.

OF all fanatics the Doukhobors are
the worst. A colony Of them is more
like walking insane asylum than
anything else. A Winnipeg dispatch
Of Aug. IL tells of some new antics as
follows: "a party of Doukhobors,
religious fanatics to the number of
about thirty, marched to within half
mile of Yorkton yesterday, where they
proceeded to strip themselves naked
and burned their clothes. The police
were notified and went out with drays
and blankets and arrested the entire
party of men, women and children.
Their intention was to march through
the streets of Yorkton in naked con-
dition. They refused all nouirshment
but raw potatoes and say they are
looking for Christ. Another party is
reported to be heading to Yorkton
from the northeast.

The North Electric Pole.

News has been received from the
Norwegian explorer, Amundsen,
that he has discovered the true north
electric pole, where the needle of the
compass dips to a vertical position.
This discovery is not entirely new, as
the same thing was learned about
seventy years ago, but it was taken
then as an accepted fact that the cleo
trio pole was a point. Now it is
thought it may consist of an area
over which the same conditions pre-
vail. 1t is known that the compass
varies, that it does not point in
exactly in the same direction at all
times and Amundsen's Investigations
are expected to clear up some of the
mysterious actions of that most ina
portant instrument. He is said to
have found the long-sought northwest
passage and in year or two will ap-
pear at :Behring strait with the history
of his researches.

A Queer Thing About July.

How we came to pronounce July as
we do now with the accent on the Sec
ond syllable is one Of the unsolved mys-
teries Of speech. Named, of course, aft
er julius Caesar, it should really be pro-
nounced to rhyme with duly" and so
our forefathers actually did pronounce
it. Spenser, for instance, has the line,
"Then came hot July boyling like to
fire." and even so late as Johnson's
time the accent was still on the "Ju.''
It is one Of many words which would
startle those ancestors of ours, spoken
as we speak them now.-London

To Calm Waves by Bombardlment.

Shells filed with oil, intended to
calm a stormy sea when fired into it.,
have been invented in France. The
effect of a film of oil in reducing the
size of waves is we'll known, but in
the case of a moving vessel it is diff
cult to reach those in front, among
which the ships progress will soon
bring it. Wooden shells are now
used, which break when they strike
the water, allowing the oil to distrib-
ute evenly over the surface and guard
the ships progress. Golden grain
belt beer will calm your nerves and
guard you against i'll health. You
can't afford to be without it. Order
case of your nearest dealer or be
supplied by Henry Veidt, Princeton.

Dramatic Climax to an Exciting VIII

The conversation turned on the mo-

when they We're least expected to have
any influence at all and this reminded
Mr.. Thompson of an episode in his
OWN practice as u lawyer.
1T was the most exciting legal bat
tie Of my life" he said, and every one
present begged him to tell it.
"A fight was going on for the pos
session of large fortune" continued
he. while the others settled themselves
for the story. A wayward son Has
contesting the will of his father, and
the case abOunded in dramatic fea-
lures. Charge and counter charge We're
frequent. The young man was eXplo-
sive. hot tempered and without char
acter. How much his family had suf-
fered through him no one ever knew.
The young rascal had hoped to get his
fathers vast fortune, and now he saw
the case going against him and the
money Slipping through his fingers.
The last link in the chain of evidence
was all that was needed, and that
would be supplied by the testimony Of
his sister Her name was called, and
as she stood up-she was a beautiful
creature-there arose Il buzz of admira-
tion such as sometimes comes from an
audience. She fiuStered at that and
hesitated, then started for the witness
stand. | got up as she was passing
me, intending to reassure her, and ac-
cidentally stepped on her gown. Gowns
had slight train in those days. My
awkwardness saved her life"
He paused for moment to note the
effect of his words. The admiration
of those in the courtroom was the final
touch to that worthless brother. He
sprang up and, drawing a revolver
from his pocket, exclaimed, We'll, If
don't get the money you never WILL

him. My checking her by treading on
her gown made her step backward, and

The Very Finest Are Those Formed
From SiII<worm Gut.
Silkworm gut forms the best line for
fishing purposes partly Oh account of
its great tenacity and partly because it
Is so transparent. Every year n sutfi-
cicnt number of Spanish silkworm
grubs are selected for this purpose.
After they have eaten enough mulber-
~ leaves and before they begin to
spin they are thrown into vinegar for
several hours Each insect is killed,
and the substance which the grub i'll
the natural course would have spun
into cocoon is forcibly drawn from
the dead worm into a much thicker
and shorter slken thread.
The threads are then placed in pure
water for about four hours and after
ward dipped for ten minutes in solu-
ton of soft soap. The fine outer skin
is thus loosened, so that the workman
can remove it with his hands. The
threads must he dried in n shady
place and are often bleached with sui
phur vapor until they acquire the
bright appearance of spun glass.-Lon-

Christmas in the West Indies is

OF More consequence.

A wise old negro lately listened in
silence to a discussion on the divers
social claims to distinction of several
educated men and women of his race.
The members of one family boasted Of
descent from wealthy merchants in the
West Indies; others claimed kinship
with well known negro politician;
still others asserted that their ances-
tors never had been slaves, but always
were free.
At last the old man spoke:

Handicraff.
There are few more attractive places
for the average Youth than the village
blacksmith shop. LOngfellOw did not
express the whole of it:
And children coming home from school
look in at the open door;
They love 10 see the flaming forge and

1t has far more valid reason for
hypnoti2ing the boy than this. The
greatest charm of the blacksmith shop,
both for the young and for grown
folk, lies in the fact that, while it is
Il place where handiTaft rules, both
hand and brain are required to produce
the desired results. 1t is both an art
and handicraft. for art is either con-
structive or initiative. while handi-
craft is either useful or decorative.
The blacksmith must be skilled in
them all.
