Commencement Clothes of Century

THE Boston Museum OF Arts has been
presented with two suits OF gorgeous
] apparel which were worn at gradua-
ton by two of the ancestors of former
Mayor Samuel Green, of Boston. These
forebears were graduated from Harvard
more than hundred years ago, and yet
the colors of the garments they wore on
that occasion are as bright as when they
were imported and the material is eN-
tremely well preserved. There is coat OF
deliberately brocaded and decorated black
satin, waistcoat of blue satin and pair
of satin breeches, which look meagre in
proportion to the size of these garments
nowadays.
The dress of the Harvard student was
lege till about the year 1898. 1t was to con-
sist of black coat, single breasted, with
a rolling cape, square at the end and with
pocket flaps. The waistcoat was of black
mixed or all black goods. or, when of cot
ton, white, single breasted, with standing
collar. The students were not allowed to
appear within the limits of the college or
town In any other dress, unless they were
so fortunate as to possess might gown
otherwise dressing gown. In the regula-
lions enforced in 1865 one may read mo
scholler shall goe out of his chamber with
out coate, Cloake, gowne, and every one
shall wear modest and sober habit, with
out strange, rufiian like or new tangled
fashion; nor shall any weare gold or silver
or such ornaments; neither shall 1t be law
full for any to weare long hare or fore
tops. nor to use curling, crlspening, par

women,s Dress in the Future.

" PARTISAN costumer has dared to look
IN into the future and tell us what wom-
Ven will wear by the middle of the
present century. He bases his Ideas
on the radical changes which have taken
place during the last ten years not only in
the costumes but the new interests which
In women's lives have made these changes
necessary. The desire for out OF door life
and sports will grow. and most impor-
tant part of the wardrobe will be costumes
which are suitable for fishing, yachting,
automoblling skating. &c. Comfortable,
common sense apparel during the day Will
be the fashion. and only in the evening
will the women of fashion appear in lux
urious gowns.
Such perils to human health as arise
from wearing long skirts will be forbidden
by law, and all skirts will be ankle length,
permitting the use Of dainty openwork
stockings. As woman's costume grows
older II will more nearly approach man s.
but the knickerbockers will never be alto
gether apparent. They will be yelled oy
some artistic arrangement OF drapery.
The veil will be condemned as Injurious
to the eyes, and II used at all VIII be
washable, SO that ltNwill no longer maroon
germs which collect in it's meshes.
For evening wear Greek styles Will pre-
vail, and these will be worn without cor
sets. which will be relics of the past. The
erepons and gauzes of the future days Will
lend themselves to the graceful draperies
Of the ancient toga. which will be revived
The colors of the gowns will also be Sc
lected with more care. The influence OF
the astral bodies will be considered, and
the attire of the fashionable woman Will
CORRESPOND to the star whose protection
she desires.

Tsar, Gear and Sar.

THROUGH we occasionally read in the
| newspapers OF the Gar, referring to
] Nicholas H., he is almost universally
designated as the Tsar. Though many
learned etymologists have said that the
national title of the Russian sovereign is a
corruption of the word Caesar, like the
German Kaiser this is a mistake. The
cause of the error Is that at the beginning
of the eighteenth century we know the
Russians only through the Poles. with
whom We had long international inter
course before We became acquainted with
the Muscovites The word GEAR" is the
Polish form of the word "tsar." with the
slight difference in the pronunciation
which distinguishes the two words derived
from the Slavonic language
The Russians. like all the Slavs, belong
to the Greek Church, use the Cyrillic
still employed in the sacred language. but
reduced to thirty-one in the common
language. The Catholic Slavs. like the
Poles. having kept the Latin alphabet Of
twenty-four signs, were compelled to re-
sort 10 the combination of double letters
to take the place OF the "sibillant' con-
sonants which are found in the Cyrillic
alphabet. The "cz" forms one of these
hence the Polish orthog-
raphy which was adopted at first by
some illustrious writers like Voltaire and
Saint Simon.
The same rule applies to the derivatives
of the word tsar-tsarine, tsarevna, tsare-
witch These words are even spelled Cesa-
rim. Cesa -evna and Cesarevltch. as trib-
ute to their imaginary origin. But the
word tsar has no Latin etymology and Is
not translation Of the word Caesar.

The Famous Kohinoor.

Much of the fame of the great Kohl
moor diamond has been due to its
romantic history. 1t was found in
the mines of India three and a half
centuries ago. According to the native
traditions of the chiefs, 1t wac wrested
from the god krishna 1t became royal
property and was a great cause of strife
among the princes of India The Am
Odssddor OF James /. to the court of ,he
ureat Mogul heard of 1t and reported its
reputation at home. One of its famous
possessors was Nadr Shah. the Afghan
who had conquered the relgnlng Mogui.
According to tradition the vanqushed
ruler MD the Jewel In his turban but a
woman betrayed its hiding place When
the TWO potentates meet soon after Nadir
proposed that they exchange turbans as
mark Of friendship. The Mogul was
not In position to refuse and so lost the
FEWER. In the earlier part of the last CEN
fury the Sikhs. whose ruler owned the
diamond. Invaded British territory. The
English thereupon seized Lahore. and
nnaiiy Dhuleep Singh. the boy occupant
OF the throne, resigned the country's rev
enues- TO the English in exchange for an
annuity and became British subject
Inc document which the child signed
transferred the Kohinoor to the crown as
a token of submission. The great dia-
mond was then taken with infinite care
to London
and wore IL on great occasions This great
diamond would not be recognized by its
former possessors If they could see IL to-
DAY. Reports say that in the sixteenth
century the stone weighed 1893 carats. A
French traveller one hundred years later
put the weight at $50, to which II had been
reduced by unskilful cutting. When Vic
toria saw 1t, in the middle of the last CEN
fury, 1t was a shallow, duh gray stone
with a fiat top. Irregular tiny facets had
been cut in the sides, and from the Euro
pean standpoint the gem was i'm miserable
shape. On account of its romantic history
1t was with great regret that the public
heard that the Queen had ordered the stone
recut. 1t was feared that 1t might be
shattered in the process and there was
no English lapidary to whom 1t could be
lntrusted. A celebrated Amsterdam dia-
mond cutter was summoned to London
special machinery was made for the pur
pose and the work began IN the WORKSHOP OF
the crown jewellers at Windsor.
The Prince Consort, assisted by the Duke
OF Wellington, set the machinery in mo-
ton and the shaping and polishing went on
Tor thirty-five days. Then the Kohinoor
was turned out, second water diamond
Of conventional shape, but with the ex-
traordinary diameter of one and three
eighths inches. A paste copy is kept in
the regalia of the Tower of London, but the
original Is with the Jewels at Windsor. The
recut diamond weighs 1O21s carats and it's
value is estimated at $4,000 900.
