Unfortunate Omission.

One of the most singular instances of punishment for an oversight was that shown by the commitment of an alma mac maker to the Bastille in 1717. It was made out by order of the Duke of Orleans, regent during the minority of Louis V. of France. and read as fol lows: Laurence d'Henry, for disre- spect to King George I. in not mention ing him In his almanac as king of Great Britain" How long this un- lucky almanac maker remained in pris- on is unknown. The register of the Bastille, examined at the time of the revolution, failed to throw any light on the subject

Boards and Battles.

Shaggy locks and pstriarchal boards have proved highly inconvenient things on the battlefield. Does not history record that Alexander ordered the Macedonians to be shaved lest their boards should give handle to their enemies7 Peter the Great was also a friend of the barbers, for he not only ordered all ranks to be shaven, but caused officers to go about to cut of the boards of offenders by force.

It's Oriuin Unknown,

What is the origin of the cock and bulr' story? It is the despair of all those who seek to explain this fine old crusted slang of long ago which has managed to persist into present speech, just as We may imagine our present "23" will puzzle a later gen. eration. Brewer. in his Phrase and Fable" explains it is a corruption of a "concocted and bully story" Xvi. dently recognizing that this is scarce ly satisfactory, he prosecuted his re- searches into bygone religions. drag ged up Nergal from the Phoenicians in the representation of a rooster and from the Egyptian Osiris, typified by bull. From all of which disquisi. uons it is as clear as may be that no one really knows anything about the story of a cock and a bull. The French have precisely similar ex. pression in "coq-a-rane, and equally they do not know its origin.-New York Sun.

FOR THE WARM WEATHER.
Appropriate Linen Costumes Must Be
 Provided in Time.

For warmer weather one will need a linen costume or two, one with swagger little coat hung loose from the shoulders and with triple circu- lar skirt swinging prettily from the hips. This of blue. violet, dull pink or the new paper color. All of these, with the exception, perhaps, of pale blue, wash nicely.
 A severe linen is always nice, and one can wear with 1t cuffs of black velvet or of embroidered linen.
 For still warmer weather, one needs some simple wash frocks of muslin, and it all depends upon where one means to spend the summer, and what sort of a laundress one looks forward to, whether these may be trimmed elaborately or not. Anyway. they must be made la princess, with mar row laces or embroideries forming the waistline.
 Little pin-striped ginghams or per cales really simply made are correct and smart for mornings, and lingerie blouses with white wash skirts are as pretty as possible. If they are quite fresh-and they lose all their undoubt- ed charm if they are not-nothing is nicer than this combination.
 The white skirts ought to be made at home, for not only will they cost less, so that one may have more of them. but they will be sure to hang well, and there's an awful uncertainty about those one buys. even the expen-

Mice Got Drunk.

A correspondent writes: In Quetta some years ago I had occasion to go early one morning into a miscel- laneous store kept by a Farsi, who also kept a liquor bar. As entered the shop I noticed a mouse reeling across the floor. and I remarked to the shopkeeper that the mouse seem. ed to be hurt, but his reply astonished me.
 He said that that mouse and several others that infested his shop were confirmed drunkards. During the night they regularly drank all the liquor which remained in the glasses which the soldiers had used in the evenings for their drinks.-Madras Times.

SAVED BY | JEST
CASE IN WHICH DESPERATE PERIL WAS INVERTED BY
 READY WIT.
Doctor on an Ocean Liner Tells How He Escaped Death at the Hands of an Insane Fellow
 voyager.

The liner Osiris, bound for Aus tralia, was blowing her way through the Indian ocean at the rate of II knots an hour. It was midnight.
 In a few minutes, however, Dr. Smith, passenger, ascended from the lower regions, and commenced to pace up and down in the night air. The atmosphere of his cabin he had found too oppressive to be borne, and so he resolved, being unable to sleep, to enjoy 8 cigar on deck. Overhead, the stars shone and the masts and tunnels of the liner loomed vast and spectral in the pale light of the moon.
 Dr. Smith reflected how foolish he had been not to leave his berth ear Her. What could be more enjoyable, since sleep was denied him, than solitude and choice cigar on the deck of the good ship Osiris?
 Suddenly he became aware of the fact that he was no longer alone. A dark figure appeared at the head of the companion ladder. Not wishing for company, Dr. Smith strolled slow ly away, and leant over the starboard side of the liner. Suddenly he turned. and saw a fellow-passenger. who suf- fered from delirium tremens. "Hullo, doctor!" exclaimed the newcomer pleasantly. Do you know what I am going to do? I'm going to wiring your neck, and throw you overboard!"
 Suiting the action to the word, the maniac seized Dr. Smith in a grip of iron.
 Then ensued a frightful struggle Realizing the awful peril which menaced him. the doctor struggled with despairing energy to bring his assailant to the deck, but in vain. He was like child in the mans grasp.
 Suddenly, with superhuman ef- fort, the maniac lifted Dr. Smith bod.

 Every head is running over with curls" nowadays; and what a differ. ence there is in the quality of these luxuries may be realized from the fact that they range in price from a few cents to dollars.
 With the advance of spring the smart tailor-made costume claims more and more of our interest and at tention. Many of the best designs are made up with charming little boleros and coatees, heavily braided, in con. junction with plain skirts The one shown in our illustration is made of warm nut brown cloth of very fine quality. The skirt fits closely round the hips, its sole trimming being stitched bands of the same cloth ar ranged in long loops. which have most graceful effect in giving length to the wearer. The coatee has the quaintest little tails at the back and is cut up at the sides, showing the waist-belt of black satin. The whole surface of the coatee and sleeves is thickly braided in fine black braid, while broader bands of braid are placed over the shoulders, and hold the fullness of the sleeve with the widening effect which is so popular for the moment. The coatee fastens single-breasted, with small silver but. tons. and the tiny roll collar and points turned back at the waist are of pale turquoise blue velvet, which has delightful effect on the brown cloth and black braid. The smartness of the costume is greatly enhanced by the high stock of black satin to match the waist-belt. The hat is of nut brown straw, both crown and edge being bound with black satin, while at the side wave three curly quills of pale turquoise tint, held by a brooch of pierced oxydized sil- yer work.

Lace as Popular as Ever.

The new swiss and batiste embroid- cries, combination embroideries and laces, are marvels of design and work. manship. Irish and filet lace combina- tions are prominent and heavy Irish motifs enter into the finer laces and embroideries.
 Cluny, too, is to be strong favorite. and the narrow real cluny headings and insertions are in great demand, as are the narrow crochet headings which, though rather heavy. are used upon even the sheerest batistes. as we'll as upon linens.
 These little crocheted insertions give the effect of open stitchery done upon the material itself and are ex- tremely effective, whether used mere ly to outline seams and panels or elab- orately embroidered and lace trimmed models, or as the sole relief upon sim pie muslin frocks or blouses. other wise trimmed merely in tucks and frills.

A New York man has just patented a device for the encouragement of thrift. It consists of a toy savings bank with a clock attachment The clock is set fin the face of the bank and cannot be wound unless a dime is dropped in the slot As winding causes the dime to fall into the vault and the clock will run but 2I hours without revinding. the coatrivance as sures the accumulation of 70 cents a week The theory is that the neces- sity of depositing a dime every day sill lead to slipping in other coins a. odd moments and thus establish a habit of saving

from our establishment.

PRESCRIPTIONS IN LATIN.
The Public Should Have Them Trans
lated by the Druggists.

What virtue is there in the secrecy
with which the doctor hedges about
his profession?
professional etiquette" occupies a
prominent place in the curriculum OF
every medical school, and when strict
ly analysed professional etiquette"
seems to mean doing what is best for
the doctor, individually and col
lectively."
Among the things that as best for
the doctor" is the writing of his pre-.
scriptions in Latin, and thus keeping
the public in ignorance not only of
what it is taking for its ills, but fore
ing a call upon the doctor each time
prescription is needed.
In plain and unmistakable English
the writing of prescriptions in Latin
makes business for the doctors.
Let us say that you have the ague.
You had it last year and the year be-
fore. Each time you have visited the
doctor and he has prescribed for you
in Latin. You have never known
what he has given you for the disease,
and so each time you are forced to go
TO him again and give him an oppor-
tunity to repeat his prescription-in
Latin, and his fee-in dollars.
If you ask the doctor why he uses
Latin in writing his prescriptions, why
he writes aqua" when he means wa
ter, he will give you a technical dis
sertation on the purity of the Latin
language, and the fact that all words
are derived from it, etc. 1t will be a
dissertation that you may not be able
to answer, but it will hardly convince
you.
1t would be good thing for the pub
lie to devise a little code of ethics Of
its own; ethics that will be "a good
thing for the public individually and
collectively"
Let us apply one of the rules of this
code of ethics to you, the individual.
You call in the physician when you
have the ague, the grippe, or any OF
the other ills to which human flesh is
heir, and which you may have again
some day. The doctor prescribes-in
Latin. and you take this, to you. mean
ingless scribble to the druggist to
have it compounded. Right here is
where you come in, If you are wise
Say to the druggist that you want a
translation of that prescription. 1t is
your privilege to know what you are
taking. While the Doctors code of
ethics may not recognize this right it
is yours just the same.
With the translated prescription in
your possession you have two distinct
advantages. You know what you are
taking, and should you wish to call
some other doctor at some time you
will be able TO tell him what drugs You
have been putting into your system.
and also if you should have the same
disease again you can save yourself
a visit to the doctor. and his fee. by
taking this translated prescription to
the druggist once more and having 1t
refilled.
