Talon. LIce.snvInr Coat.

A London tailor has invented rev
life saving coat and CATERS, with
which it is possible for a person
clothed therein to maintain an upright
position when immersed in the water,
even If not possessing any knowledge
of swimming.
The coat resembles in appearance an
ordinary pilot coat, but it is fitted with
an air belt which is inflated with air
through tube. The CATERS each
weigh two pounds and are fitted with
two brass wings or blades fastened
to the back of the heel. AS the wearer
moves his feet in the water these
wings open and shut, and not only
propel the wearer along like oars bu'
enable him to manhattan an upright
position from the waist upward in the
water.
A pra ctical demonstration Of the util-
ity of the invention was recently uil-
dertaken in the River Thames by the
inventor and its efficiency and life
saving qualities clearly shown, even
when moving against the tide.

The pesplsed Left Hand.

The despised left hand makes good
it's claims in many cases to be the
DETER of the two. The fingers that
touch and adjust with such nicely the
strings of the violin are surely as cum
ming as those that move the bow. The
hand that guides the reins and steers
with exactness the horse through the
crowded streets is quite as cunning as,
one might say much more than, the
hand that Yields the whip. But great
is fashion; unanswerable is theory.
1t would appear that as life becomes
more and more complex we are be-
coming more and more specialized,

A Full Stop,

A returned traveller who spent hall
of his holiday in tour of Ireland
brought back sample Of the happy
go-lucky wit of the Irish "jarvey," OF
driver. In a breakneck race down q
hill he suddenly realized that the spir.
tied little Irish mare was running
away.
"Pull her upp' he shouted, excitedly,
"Hold tight, your honor" returned
the jarvey, easily.
"Pull her upp' again commanded the
traveller, making a grab for the reins
"For your life don't touch the reins,''
the jarvey answered, without tighten,
ing his grip. "Spre, they're as rotten
as pears"
The traveller made ready to jump,
but the jarvey laid soothing hand on
his shoulder.
"Sit easy" he said, reassuringly. "Pll
turn her into the river at the bridge
below here. Sure. that'll stop her."

InteIIIaenee In Monkeys.

A correspondent in the Field con-
tributes an extraordinary instance OF
intelligence in the Royal Park, Mel
bourne, Australia. He was watching
some monkeys in a large cage when
one of them came to the front and
tried to reach nut which had been
thrown and was lying on the gravel
path. Putting it's arms through the
bars and stretching as far as possible
It found that the nut was just beyond
it's reach. There was straw on the
floor of the cage and going to the
back, where it evidently expected to
find the straw less damaged, it tested
straw after straw, discarding them one
by one, not thinking them strong
enough for the purpose. At last 1t
found satisfactory one, returned with
it to the front OF the cage and very
quickly with this aid hooked the nut
close enough to be picked up.-Clip-

eight yards to the piece. Those from
France and Germany measure nine
yards, while the English rolls contain
twelve yards. Then, of course, there's
the repeat. On some of the new pa

PUBLIC SIGNS OF MOURNING.
So Common In Washington That They
Lose All Meaning.

The trappings of public woe ex'
hibited in the national capital have be-
come something Of nuisance. Years
ago, whenever an ex-oabinet officer
died, the department to which he be-
longed was draped with black until
1t seemed that the nation was In hor-
rible grief. Congress finally took
charge of this and passed a law pre-
venting the draping of public build
ings as a mark of mourning. In those
days, also 1t was customary to close
a department upon the announcement
OF the death OF an ex-cabinet officer,

1t has not prevented the exhibition

of the late secretary of state were
draped for month, and had most
mournful appearance. Secretary Root,
when he came here to be sworn in,
could not occupy the Office OF the sec

the secretary's Office uninhabitable,
Those who knew Secretary Hay are
convinced that he would not have APP

Then, again, the half-masting OF
flags is most depressing. For the last
two years the flags of Washington and
especially those of the city govern

they were mourning. The flags on the
