MEMS FASHIONS FROM PARIS.
Boots, shirts. Barrel Guns. ''prctty"
HanSikerchiefs.

What am l to say solemnly meditates
a British authority on masculine dress. to
the man who asks me II he may go to the
seaside without a swallow tail dress coat
in his bag. and IL a dress jacket is formal
enough. albeit that at the hotel where he
is to stay dances are given two or three
times week?
Ihave laid down a strict rule as to the din
ner jacket, he continues in the Gen'ieuomdn,
and have registered IL as bad form except
for home or club or informal restaurant
wear. And yet. for the seaside, which
had not taken into account. I think 1t
may be allowed. But let it have the step
and not the roll collar. and let white tie
and a single breasted white waistcoat be
worn with it.
This, by the way, is very Partisan; and
II may be news to some OF my readers
sad news perhaps TO the uncompromising
Britisher-thst Paris is no longer the source
Of feminine fashions only. For many years
il has been Paris for the woman and London
for the man. but to-day we make no secret
of the fact that our male attire is largely
influenced in form and color by the msscu-
line modes of the moment in the gay city.
Our evening boots are growing less
blunted and more pointed; that II Partisan.
Our dress shirts have soft pleated fronts
at least many Of us wear such shirts in
preference to the stiff fronted kind; and
that is very distinctly Parisian.
Our dress coat Of to-day Is cut closely
at the waist and at the forearm OF the
sleeve-and these points OF shapeiness were
the predominant characteristics OF the
Partisan dress coat as many as fifteen years
ago.
We wear white gloves more often at
the theatre now. and buttonholee. too:
ALL onera bat and the fancy wsistcoat to
say nothing Of the embroidered socks and
the pretty" handkerchiefs and the barrel
shirt cuffs with solitaircs In place Of links.
All Of which Is very Parisisn indeed. and
do not hesitate TO say livery acceptable.

The reverse bore the legend Carolina
Gold around the border while in tho iteld

minor varieties Of this type.
The piece following this showed the same
diverse as the foregoing. with the word
Rutherford" spelled out in full, but on
the reverse was Georgia Gold" in the field
being -128 q. ~ Carats." A fine speci-
men OF this design recently brought slO8
at the Elder sale.
In 1872 Christopher Bechtler sold his
interest to August Bechtler, and from that
time to ls4s the coins issued bore the latters
name. The series from 1882 varied greatly
In weight, fineness and value.
Like many OF the foregoing issues, they
bore no date and consisted OF but two
three varieties OF the latter. The dollar
bore the name "A. Bechtler" on the border
Of the obveree. In the centre was a large
figure 4" with Dol" and a star below.
This coin weighed ~ grains, the fneness
being Fl carats. II is not at all rare. but in
fine condition Is worth s3.
The first OF the three varieties OF the S.
piece struck by August Becbfler shows
the inscription on the diverse "a. Berhtler
Rutherford" In the field is IS Dollars"
The reverse shows Carolina Gold" in the
centre being -i34G. 2i Carats." This
coin in very fine condition is valued at s3s.
The second variety shows about the same
general features. but the inscription on the
reverse reads "12sG. % Carats" This is
valued at SIS.
The last variety is much the same as the
two Others. but on the reverse shows the
difference in weight, being LAG. 20
Carats.' This coin is worth about the
same as that last mentioned. s2s having
been paid for fairly good specimen at
the Elder sale.
The coins of the Bechtler mint were
circulated freely throughout the South and
West, but were rarely seen further north
than Washington. In 1sie the operations
OF the mint were discontinued and the
pieces have yearly become less plentiful.

THE REAL IRELAND.
Common Mistakes ss TO the Charact eristics
Of the Irish People.

W Hc irisn rcOpte.
The accepted Irish type Of the masses
the stage Irishman-may be amusing,
says the Outlook, but he smacks also Of
Incidence, thriftlessness, a tendency to
drink and even lack of certain primary
virtues.
Fortunately, these failings are not char
acteristic of the Irish people as a whole.
In every quarter Of the globe Irish men and
women have shown themselves hard work.
ers; II they have not displayed the same
energy at home il is because of the general
agricultural oppression and depression,
because of unsanitary dwellings and in
sufficient food.
As to drink. contrary to the general
supp csition, the Irishman spends a less
average on il than does the Ehglishman
or Scot; moreover, the Irishman spends
more on beer than on spirits, the contrary
being true Of the Scot.
Furthermore and eveo more surprising
to many, statistics show the Irish to be
less criminally inclined than are the in
habitants OF Great Britain; in particular,
as to sexual morality, the stranger in Ire
land is invariably surprised by the rectitude
OF the people.
In ls4I Ireland's population was esti-
mated at 8. 100, 900; in 1901 at 4,4OO. .OO0. Thus
in sixty years the population fell by nearly
4OOO.OOO. America has won what Ireland
has lost.
But this is not all. Quality as well as guam
tity is involved. The emigrants have gem
orally been in life's full vigor; most OF those
who have remained have been physically,
mentally and industrially deficient.
Meanwhile, the burden OF taxation has
enormously increased. Is IL surprising,
then, that, with the exception Of France,
lreland's birth rate should be now the low
est in the world?
