Sask and the Dress CoaA
The modern cntaway sprang from
the body fitting justaucorps OF the
French as known to the courders OF
Louis XIV. and Louis XIV. and the gar
ment was In turn probably evolved
from the frock or tunic worn tn the
fourteenth century.
The first trace Of cutaway tn any
thing like It's present form, says the
sartoriai 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 1885 as riding coat, the tails
being very long. In 1898 tt was adopt
ed In France for walking as we'll 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 ad-
vantage. Not till 1s4O 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 GETAWAY" became a fixture in
the language.
The old colonial uniform worn by
Washington, with it's 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 general way similar to
the cutaway frock.
The conventional dress coat Of our
time is 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

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 ''Macaronfes," who introduced it
into England in 1772, though q gar
ment somewhat similar was worn by
the Roundheads of Cromwell's day.

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."

startle those ancestors Of ours, spoken
as we speak them now.-London

A PROGRESSIVE INSTITUTION

Keeping pace with business development In
Minneapolis we find that educational matters
have not been neglected. One OF the largest edu-
cational institutions, the Electric Business Col.
lege, after years Of prosperity has, by reason of
its increased patronage, been pushed into larger
quarters.
The College is located in its new home at the
corner Of Third Avenue South and Fifth Street.
The location Is the best the city affords, being
quiet corner in refined section.
The best faculty Of business educators to be
procured will be in charge of the various de-
partments which includes Bookkeeping, Short.
Preparatory, Eectricul engineering, Civil serv-
ice, Teachers and Physical Culture.
An attractive feature will be q thoroughly
equipped gymnasium for both ladies and gentle.
men.
The large number of graduates holding re-
sponsible positions is standing tribute to the
thoroughness of the work. An inspection of the
new quarters discloses the fact that the Electric
Will be the best and most thoroughly equipped
commercial school in the Northwest.

Hay and Feedstuffs.

There was no change in anything yesterday.
The circular of Somers & Co. said of Hay:
Receipts of Hay for the past week have
amounted TO 5000 tons, in comparison with
the heaviest week we have had for some time
past, and the amount of Hay brought in is
too great for our market to stand especially
at this time of year, when the majority Of
consumers are well stocked up.
The export trade. which has been quite
active of late has held the market UP, and,
although the amount shipped away has been
small compared to the estimated surplus OF
Hay in the country, yet IT must be acknowl
edged a potent factor in holding prices up to
the present range. OF course 1t is impossible
to foretell how long this demand will
tinue, but one thing seems certain, should 1t
suddenly cease consgnees would have much
more difficulty in disposing OF their shipments
than'-they have at present
The continuance of abundant rains has
given assurance of good crops and this has
caused many holders OF Hay TO eeek market
for their stocks. Considerable amounts have
been offered from all sections of the country,
but present conditions give little encourage
ment for any one to buy
