ACADEMIC COSTUMES.
Square Cap or Berretta Hood Survival
of the Ancient Cope.

= 4 Il M
Academic costume was originally the
ordinary dress of the period in which
it was prescribed. Medieval statutes
were directed not to the wearing of
any particular robe, but against ex-
travagant taste in or deficiencies Of
dress. At Heidelberg, for instance, stu
dents were forbidden to go out without
boots unless clad in a garment reach
ing to the HEELS The most purely
academic part of the costume was the
square cap or berretta, with a tuft OH
the top lin lieu Of the very modern
tasseD, which was the distinctive
badge of the mastership. It's posses
sion was much coveted, and, according
to one authority, sit is only in post
medieval times that the berretta, first
without, then with, the sacred apex
has been usurped, first by bachelors,
then by undergraduates and now (out-
side the universities by mere choris-
tiers or school boys" The gown, or
toga, on the other hand, was an I'M
official robe or cassock Of various col
ors, the favorite at Oxford being
'green, blue or blood color"
The hood is a survival of the ancient
cappa, or cope, which is still to be seen
in the official robes Of the chancellor Of
Cambridge. It formed part of the gar
ment, like the cowl Of a monks robe,
and was not restricted to graduates.

not even exclusively clerical ''It is

the use of minever, for instance being
confined to masters. "Silk hoods came
in perhaps toward the end Of the four
teenth century as summer alterna-

hoods were something more than an
honorary appendage in the unwarmed
schools and churches Of medieval
times" At Oxford undergraduates lost
their hoods in 1880, but it was not till

According to Washington Irving, the
Delaware Indians had a superstitious
reverence for the eagle, believing that
bird watched over them, lowering in
the sky far out of sight. When pleased
with their actions, he sent abundant
crops and made them have great sue
cess in hunting, but when displeased
he would vent his rage in the thunder,
which was his voice. and the lightning,
which was the flashing of his eye, and
strike dead the object of his displeas-
ure. They also believed that the feath-
ers Of this bird would render the wear

Refused to Permit Performances That

In 1859 FOote had produced a bur
lesque, the author Of which has never
been discovered, entitled "The Tailors;
Tragedy For Warm Weather." Dow
ton announced the revival Of this piece
for his benefit. AS the title implies, it
was a satire upon the sartorial craft
and upon the bills being issued an in
dignation meeting was convened by the
knights Of the needle, who vowed to
oppose the performance by might and

Menacing letters were sent to Dow
ton telling him that 1900 tailors
would attend to his piece, and one,
who signed himself DEATH" added
that 10000 men could be found if nee
essary. These threats were laughed
at by the actors, but when night came
it was discovered that the craft were
in earnest and that with few excep-
tons they had contrived to secure ev-
cry seat in the house, while a mob
without still squeezed for admission
The moment Dowton appeared upon
the stage there was a hideous uproar
and some one threw pair of shears
at him.

to, nor would they accept any compro-
mise in the way Of changing the piece

FRENCH PEASANTS.
They Know Nothing About Cooking as

line AFL.
We are accustomed to think of cook
ing as being a universal art among the
French. We seem to have heard
vaguely of delicious repasts concocted
out of nothing with the help of char
coal fire and small pot.
Certainly among the bourgeoisie that
miracle seems sometimes to accom-
plish itself, but in the matter of cook
cry as a fine art the peasant belongs to
a different world. He knows very lit
tie about it and does not wish to know
because it is regarded as a costly and
unnecessary luxury. His breakfast
consists of thin soup made of beans
and water, with perhaps a taste Of ba-
con for favoring, and thin slices of
brown bread to give it substance. Po-
tatoes and one other dish-frequently
coarse sort of pancake the
monday meal. The supper will be
more sustaining, with thin wine or
cider as beverage.
Jacques Bonhomme has a perfect
genius for discovering things which
are good for food, which yet cost moth
ing, and sometimes he eats things that
seem revolving to us, though I am
quite willing to admit that clean or I'M
clean in the matter of food is largely a
question of inherited prejudice.
Normandy is a rich province, and It's
peasants are better fed than those of
other parts Of the country. There is a
! tradition that in olden days meat was
so cheap and plentiful that it was used
to feed the pigs at the monasteries.
They drink great deal of cider, espe-
cfally in the pays de Caux," and it is
said that this is the explanation of
| their bad teeth. The dress of the
! peasant women in this part Of Nor
mandy is extremely picturesque, with
| the long frilled cloak and the hood
/ which sometimes reveals a pretty, pi
| quaint face
| AS a contrast to the general frugali
| ty of the peasants lives there are the
! wedding feasts and other festivities
| when they eat enormously, apparently

These Sensitive Organs Are Relic of

It is perhaps not generally known
that cats power of discernment, es-
pecially at night, is due almost as
much to his whiskers as to his eyes.
To any one who goes to menagerie
and looks at the giant cats of the for

Of these vibrissae, as science names
the hairs that project from the muzzle
and from above the eyes. is evident
enough
They are delicate organs of touch,
wonderful mechanisms of warning.
Each one grows from a follicle, or
gland, nerved TO exquisite sensibility.
Its slightest contact with any obstacle
is distinctly felt by the animal, though
the hair itself is tough and insensible
Those exaggerated whiskers on the
muzzle often project to each side Of
the animal so far that from point to
point they stretch to just the width Of
his body
Imagine, low, lion stealing through
a jungle at night, tracking his prey,
where the stir of twig gives alarm
His long hairs indicate through the
incest nerves any object that may be
in his velvet path. A touch stops him
short before pushing through some
close thicket where the rustling leaves

Dainty Deer.

How sensitive deer are in the matter
of food was proved once again during
land, where three men were charged
with sleeping in deer pen in Bushey
park. A keeper said they had pulled
down from the racks about ten shill-
ings' worth of hay, which the deer
would not afterward touch because it
had been lain upon. In fact, the deer
would not go near the pens, as the men
had slept there.
