Tale Of a Coct.

The clawhammer, or evening coat,
has many oddities Of cut. These oddl-
ties were once essentials. There was,
in fact, time when every idiosyn-
Grassy Of the clawhammer served some
useful purpose The cutaway front OF
the coat, for instance, was originally
cut away 50 that the wearer when on
horseback would not be incommoded.
The two buttons at the back were for
fastening up the tails out of harms
way, each tail having in the past a
buttonhole at its end. The sleeves,
with their false cuffs, are relics Of the
days when sleeves were always turned
back and therefore were always made
with cuffs that unbuttoned. The col
lar. with it's wide notches, is a sur
vival Of the old collar that was notch
ed in order that its wearer could turn
it up conveniently in cold or stormy
weather. The dress coat, in word, IS
a patchwork Of relics-relics once es-
sential but now Of no use on earth

The Rain In the Woods.

The lamentaDle effects OF the gener-
Al destruction Of forests are now suf-
ficieutly recognized in all civilized
countries. Such destruction invites
devastating floods in mountain streams
and causes the surrounding land to
dry up. Forests act like vast c"i!-
6ensing screens. They preserve 4
moist atmosphere about them, atten-
nate the force of torrential downfalls,
nror,ote 4 more gradual melting of the
snow in early spring and protect the
soil against too rapid evaporation.
And y,.. the manner in which forests
act tl:ai: bcnehcent part is not exactly
such as might be supposed. They pre-
vent Il large part of the rain that falls
fra;,l rcachin. the soil 1T all. 1t is es-
tinr;Sc,i that in European climates the
forests evaporate directly or transpire
physiologically four-hfths Of the rain
that falls upon them. Thus the forest
atmosphere is no less important than
the forest soil in equalizing the eli
matte conditions Of 4 country.-4outh's

There will be a bill introduced
in the coming, session of the
legislature requiring the ap.
pointment Of a board composed
Of experienced telegraph opera,
tors, to examine applicants for
positions in railroad telegraph
Offices. The purpose Of this bill
is to promote the safety of the
travelling public on railroad
trains in this State. We have
scanned this bill, and in our
opinion, there should be some
thing of the kind required. The
many accidents on the railroad
is due, we believe, to incompe-
tent service on the part OF those
who are employed to dispatch
trains. Nearly every day there
are collisions resulting in loss OF
life, and it does seem to US that
the law should require more pro,
lection for those who travel,
and also for delays in freight.

A y,i4arcrr Tragedy.


When Carlyle had finished the first
volume of his great work on the French
revolution he lent the manuscript to
his friend John Stuart Mill. One even
ing soon afterward Mill entered Car
lyle's door, pale as Hector's ghost, with
the dismal information, gasped out IN
almost inarticulate words, that with
the exception Of about four or FIVE
sheets the manuscript was completely
annihilated. Mill had left it too care
lessly lying about, and q servant, think
ing it so much waste paper, had burned
it. Five months of steadfast, occasion
ally excessive and painful toll utterly
lost! For three weeks Carlyle could
do nothing but read Marryafs novels.
Then one night, sitting talking to his
cook, he decided it should be written
again ard eventually finished "such a
task as I never tried before or since"
