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

Academic costume was originally the
ordinary dress of the period i'll which
1t was prescribed. Medieval statutes
We're directed not 10 the wearing of
any particular robe, but against ex-
travagant taste i'll or deficiencies of
dress. At Heidelberg. for instance, stu
dents were forbidden TO go out without
boots unless clad in Il garment reach
ing to the heels" The most purely
academic part of the costume was the
square cap or berretta. with il tuft on
the top lin lieu of the very modern
tasseD. which was the distinctive
badge of the mastership. Its posses
sion was much coveted. and. according
to one authority. lit 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 tout-
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
''grecn. blue or blood color"
| ne DOOu Is 4 SufVlNai OF the ancient
cappa. or cope. which is still TO be seen
in the official robes of the chancellor of
Cambridge. 1t formed part of the gar
ment. like the cOw of Il monks robe
and was not restricted to graduates,
being the ordinary clerical dress. and
not even exclusively clerical 1T is
only the material of the hood which
was characteristic of degree or Office"
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-
tive for masters, whose winter fur
hoods were something more than en-
honorary appendage in the unwarmed
schools and churches Of medieval
times" At oxford undergraduates lost
| their hoods in 1850, but it was not till
''about the beginning of Queen Eliza
beth's reign" that the masters and
stewards of Incorporated societies. who
also Wore them. cast them. off their
heads and hung them on their Shout

His Sense of Touch.

"a country grocer" said lecturer,
was talking to a throng of customers
about the wonderful sense of touch
that the blind have. Here comes old
blind Henry Perkins now said the
grocer Wen test him And he took
n scoopful of sugar and extended it to
the old' man. Feel this, Henry he
said. and tell us what it is
THE blind man put his hand in the
scoop, passed its contents through his
fingers and said in a firm, confident
tone, Sand

we may have fair chance to see
what denatured alcohol can do for it

ture shall be under the eye Of the gov

precisely the treatment other fuel re-

natured alcohol should not lie higher

THE COLD BATH.
Many Men Say They Like 1t, but They
Don't Like IL.

In a paper read aI IL meeting of an
association for the study of tubercu-
losis an eminent doctor said that one
of the curious facts connected with the
practice of the cold bath in the morn
ing is that so many of its votarieS pos
itively declare that they enjoy it, He
contends that they do not and cannot
enjoy it. The doctor is doubtless right
as far as he goes. but he does not go
far enough. He misses the main point,
perhaps the only point worth empha
sizing.
There is abundant reason to believe
that the most curious fact connected
with the cold bath i'll the morning is
that so many people who Insist that
they enjoy ii do not take it. There is
vicarious atonement. AMI there is also
vicarious bathing. and it is very easy
matter TO enjoy Il bath that is not tax
en-, the bath of somebody else. Almost
anybody gifted with little magma
ton can sing the praises of cold bath
in the morning. There are the pleaSu-
rable. even delightful. shoulders of the
first dip and splash; the brisk rub with
coarse crash towel; the warm. health
giving glow; the new man feeling. eX-
Vibrating. uplifting. as one gets into
his attire for the days work, and,
above all, the sense of cleanliness i'm
parted by the cold bath every morning
And it is equally easy to take cold
bath every morning. 1t only remains
to turn on the hot water faucet and
enter the tub Or both faucets may be
turned on and, without entering the
tub. one may stir the water violently
with his hands. draw long breaths and
SILVER, not perceptibiy. but audibly
1t will all sound remarkably lifclike.

Dainty Deer.

How sensitive deer are in the matter
of food was proved once again during
the hearing of a case at Feltham. Eng
land, where three men were charged
with sleeping in a 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

HoMBLETTE GETS FIVE YEARS

Undersheriff Andrews took
Chas. Homblette, the fellow who
held up and shot a man near La
ona recently, before Judge Good
land at Amigo Tuesday where he
plead guilty, and he received a
sentence IF five years.
After he had been removed
from his cell in the county Jail an
article was found in his bunk
which might have been used by
the young criminal in an effor,
to escape, but fortunately he was
taken away before he had an op
portunity to use it. 1t was some
thing on the style of chilly,
and consisted of hollow piece
of iron, evidently from pump
with piece of rope attached
He evidently intended to use il
