Mrs Ruge Of Chicago, an authority on clothing,
states that the first pair Of trousers was made in Egypt
about the year 5000 B. c., and were was develop
ment from the apron invented by Adam.
Mrs Ruge explains that for some time and
women alike Wore aprons but finally masculine dress
reformer cut holes in his apron and, sticking his legs
thru, came out in inoipient trousers. AS time went
on ne caught the idea Of sewing limbs to these holes
and To- trousers born It took centuries before
the crease was ironed into them
little thought will show the development evo

the fllet became ornamental and the glorious spring
season naturally suggested flower or two You can

Senator Clapp last week intimated noffensively
that Senator Tillman had stated the thing it
not. There various ways of calling
liar but they all "unparliamentary. The British
legislative body has struggled with this inhibition for
centuries. How can statesman intimate that fellow
member has said the thing which is not and still be
within the rules. Even "opposed to fact and "sub-
terfuge have received the speakers interdict. But
Henry Grattan, the Irish orator. once conveyed the
idea in careful way. He said, significantly, on
memorable occasions ct will not call the gentleman
iar-for that would be unparamentary' The gentle
man was indignant however, and Grattan had to fight
duel with him. .E&-=
Ben Franklin had diplomatic way of calling
man liar that the person so designated felt highly
complimented But Old Ben had made deep and
lifelong study of the fine art of being of those
statesmen in the mouth of whom butter would melt.
Ben tells in his autobiography how he went about it.
Up to the present time Ben Franklin holds the
palm, but we suspend judgment until Senator Allison
calls somebody liar. The country is waiting anxious
ly to see how he will do it.
Dr. Dowie's papa who still lives somewhere in
Iowa and states that his prophetic is not quite
right mentally, also adds that his grandson Gladstone,
twas educated at three universities, including Har
ward, and will never be anything" Gladstone may
well feel that it is waste of energy to 'be anything
as long father pull money right out of the air.
Beside this, young man who has exhausted three
universities including Harvard naturally feels that
he has earned slight period Of mental repose before
engaging in the activities of Zion.

The logic on which DR.. Dowie IS claim to be Elijah
rests is naive that it ought to be sorrowfully
studied Here is a sample Of the reasoning:
First-John the Baptist was the messenger of the
covenant and Elijah the prophet. =.
oecOnu-Malacn1 anu Jesus say CnaC the messenger
of the covenant and Elijah must again.
Third-f we are the messengers Of the covenant,
must also be Elijah the restorer.
The messenger of the covenant and Elijah the re-
storer and that prophet Of whom Moses spoke, all
and the same person The declaration that
that person is either what those peculiar theoogans
the Chicago press, declare it to be- great basphemy
it is tremendous fact Of the utmost Importance
to the whole world.
We have not assumed it,
1t has been imposed upon by God himself Had
been deceived in this matter then God would have
deceived That is impossibity 80 5s
The poet Heine who something of satirist
gave a philosophical definition of Gan idea''
CAN idea,' said Heine impressvely, sis any damned
nonsense that happens to come into person g head
Yet that peculiar kind of that Hene mentions
condemned is sometimes good for few million of
dollars It is easy to account for Dowie, but
difficult to account for the crowd that anxious
to give up it's wealth to him.
We might announce in this place that ap-
pointed the Past Grand Royal Vice Oompaloola of the
universe and ask everybody to send tenth of his
income, but who would do itq "A. j. R.
