TRACED TO EMPEROR TIeERIus.
Originator OF Remark About "Forty,
Fool and Physician"

II would appear that tho Emperor
Tiberius was the originator of that
well known saying: Every man at
forty is either a fool or a physician"
But Tiberius said thirty. not forty so
Bacon informs us n his History of
Life and Death"
"TlbcTius. though q drunkard and
luxurious in his diet, was yet very
careful of his diet and used to say
that every one after thirty was either
a fool or q physician"
Probably Bacon's authority was
Tacitus ('Anrals," book VI. chapter
46), who says of Tiberius that He
was wont to make sport of the physi-
clans. and Of people WHO after thirty
needed others to tell them what was
good or bad for them" IN Tacitus, of
course, the epigrammatic flavor is
lost.
Bnt why has popular usage altered
the age from thirty to forty? Simply
on account of the ALTERATION, so car.

per cent. on time
In clothing there is a substantial
gain in the volume OF orders as compared
with the same period last year, though
manufacturers are unable TO get as salts
factory profit, owing to the greater cost
of material. In the dry goods jobbing
market business is becoming more active
and statesmen are sending in good orders.
Millinery jobbers reports sales to date
the largest for several years past and an
ticipate prosperous season. Boot and
shoe manufacturers are advancing prices
from 10 to rs per cent, owing TO the
sharp advance in leather.
Retail trade has been somewhat un-
satisfactory, owing to the unexpected
mildness of the winter season, but this
apparentlv has had no effect upon the
early buying for summer goods. There
is a large trade in hosiery. underwear

J. Nota McGill. ex-register of wills
for the District of Columbia, and now
professor of patent law at Georgetown
university, lost a hat, point to
Joke, and q goodly amount of temper
yesterday. This is how it came to
pass:
Mr.. McGill was walking from the
patent office up c. Street TO his own
Office, when he came face to face with
a nor'wester.
Mr.. McGill is not of the excitable
kind, but when that nor'wcster struck
him he lost his head-or rather his
hat.
Hey. there" cried the ex-register,
stop that brand new hat of nine!
Won't some one stop it?"
There was something IN the proses-
sors voice that appealed to a dapper
looking stranger, who made a lunge
at the head gear, but could do no
better than put his feet through it.
Consequently the brim was the cnly
part recognizable after the fatality.
We'll. you certainly have put your
foot IN IT," shouted Mr.. McGill.
Beg pardon, what did you saY?"
asked the dude.
81 say you've put your foot in it,"
by Jove, say not so, cid chap"
Say not 50 yourself" growled the
professor, you surely have fixed my
hat up all right"
II am aviully sorry-weally," con.
fessed the dude. let me ave it
mended."
oh no." said the ex-reg.ster with
sarcas~l, the brim is not worth
crown now"
"a crown? | should say it is! Why

her doll, and called me to see it. AS

think he sent little brother anythingY
