The Rioomer Costume.

A portrait IN maya" ne shows us
very old lady in a curious costume.
Her legs are attired in orthodox trou-
sers but over them she wears n short
SKIRT TO the !-nees. Above this again
Is cape fastened at the neck with a
large brooch. What is this strange
figure? Why the last of the famous
"Bloomer Br. ade!" Her name is Su-
san Fowler and she lives at Vineland,
n. j. She has worn this costume for
40 years, Is nrw so, and lives all alone,
scoinlng the aelp of man. One cannot
but admire the dauntless old lady In
thus sticking to her principles. II Is
only question of time when women's
clothes will be radically reformed.
Could anything be more ridiculous,
more inartistic and more unhealthy
than woman's present costume? Trail
ing skirts, t'o tight bodices. stiff col
lars, absurd head gear--nothing beau
tiful, nothing useful about any part OF
it.-Montreal Herald,

BOTH APT AND WITTY.
Biblical Quotation Effectively Used by
Political Speaker.

Edgar Saltus, the novelist, was
asked by young lady at tea II he
thought that the use OF quotations was
a good thing.
Quotations are only good" said
Mr.. Saltus, when they are extremely
apt.
There was once witty lrishman,
James Il. Fitzgerald who made excel
lent use of quotation In political
speech.
During this speech he was repeat
eddy interrupted by butcher. the
proprietor of large sausage-making
plant An adherent of Fitzgerald's
finally took oifense at the butchers
mocking remarks, and yelled:
"'Hey, you, leave politics alone. and
go back to your sausage machines!
The butcher glared at the man and
retorted;
"'lf | had this speaker In one OF
my sausage machines. I'd soon make
mince meat of him.
Then MIR. Fitzgerald quoted from
the platform with smlle
Is Thy servant dog that thou
shouldst do this thing?'"
