Council Proceedings.

At special or adjourned meeting
OF the Village Council held Wednes.
day evening the council elected Jas.
Sterling marshal vice w. Galloway
resigned. The council also instructt d
the marshal as to his duties and re.
quested a strict enforcement of the
ordinances now on the ordinance book
expressing the opinion that If the
laws were passed they should be en-.
forced. We would causually remark k
that few ordinances looking to the
public welfare have been allowed to
lapse into lnnocuous desuetude and
the enforcement of the same is liable
to cause surprise among our worthy
citizens. At the same time we can
not help but heartily endorse the
action and sentiment of the council,
and urge our people to uphold and
help them in the enforcement Of the
laws as given US.

speculation, and is one wherein the
promoters are taking like chances
with the others. If interested see

ORIGIN OF THE cRAvAT.
At First a Wide Neck Band Worn by
Austrian Cayalrymen.

While every man wears cravat, there
is probably not one in a thousand who
could. in an off-hand way, tell you how
il came about that men first placed such
an ornament about their collar.
The word crayat came into our lam
cuage about 1886. Prior TO that year
a feature of the uniform of the Austrian
cavalry was a wide band of coarse linen
worn in folds around the neck under
their short Hussar jackets. This caval-
ry organization was called the era
vate." its members being styled the
"Cravates.
Later. in the Seventeenth century.
France recruited a regiment of cavalry,
adopting for it the uniform of the Aus
t,.ian regiment recruited in Croatia, cali
ing it the Royal Cravattes. Later. IN
England the word '.crabat was apphed
to a neckerchief.
After the battle of Steamkirk in
Flanders. in 1892, an English officer
brought home the "steamkirk." long
flowing neekscarf edged with fine t'iem-
ish lace, the ends of which were drawn
through buttonhole of enormous size
The neckwear of today is clearly trace
able to the steamkirk and the modInca-
tions it n1Ierwent.-Sartorial Art jour

Fashion in Medicine.

ness for statistics.
The doctor has been making inquiries,
with a view to finding out whether there
is a fashion in medicine. He has dis
covered that the old-fashioned medicines,
such as opium. laudanum. iodine and bis
mutb are sold in about the same quanti-
ties as they have always been.
The sale of leeches has diminished In
1876 $4,000 were sold by certain mum
Der of chemists shops in Paris, but this
year the same shops sold only 1900
The glycero-phosphates and antipyrins
sold 80 per cent less than they used to
and quinine has gone down % per cent.

perine, etc.-their sale has increased

President Roosevelt has ended the con-
troversy between the manufacturers of
whisky and the Department of Agricul-
ture by ordering changes in the revenue
stamps to make them conform to Attor-
ney-General Bonaparte's ruling as to
what shall constitute blends. This is the
shortest way out of the difficulty, and
it gives the public the benefit of the
doubt by insuring the proper differen-
tiation of straight whisky from mixtures
until the courts decide the question as to
what shall constitute the real article.

Recently the authorities Of Great Brit
ain decided against proposed installa-
tion of wireless telegraphy after receiv-
ing evidence from army officers as to the
purposeful jumbling of messages by ri
val interests. The secrecy of this method
of communication must be improved,
else its commercial value will be small.
The reported picking up of stray mes
sages at Kiev, Russia, over a distance of
$3.50 miles, is proof that dispatches sent

can pick them up.

Safe Tiger Hunting.

An Indian prince uses u portable shoot
ing box for hunting big game in the
jungle. The windows are heavily barred
and portfolios are pierced every 3 feet
around the sides. The interior is filled
with sofas. writing desks, bridge whist
tables and comfortable chairs. The floor
is covered with Persian rugs. The ex-
terror is painted green in order that il
may blend with the jungle.
The box is taken TO pieces. sent by
rail to given point, and drawn by oxen
or elephants into the heart of the jungle
1t is left there until the tigers have
become accustomed to it, and when the
royal sportsman arrives later there L
no lack of game. The shooting is done
through portfolios provided for the pur-
pose.-Popular Mechanics.

A story from Philadelphia to the effect
that six sailors at that port are con
graduating themselves upon the exercise
of good judgment in refusing to go to sea
on the schooner Thomas w. Lawson,
wrecked with all hands on the British
coast, may have little foundation, as
sailors sometimes leave a ship for con
siderations of shore pleasure, and try to
justify desertion by casting reflections
upon captains or ships but nevertheless
it is worthy of interest to those who are
advocating the adoption of so-called
Plimsoll lines and the utilization of safe
ty devices ON shipboard. The Lawson
was a big schooner, and her manner of
going out of existence was remarkable,
to say the least. From the telegraphic
reports, it seems that she was compelled
to anchor where the waves beat so vio-
lently that they caused her to capsize
like small boat. Ships sometimes ron
their spars out, but they rarely turn tur,
