ALLIGATOR VEST FAD.
Skeptic View Is That the Wearers
Masquerade In Sleeps Clothing.

Masquerade In Sleeps Clothing.
The eccentric and highly independ-
ent men who like to wear different
clothes have at last become "hide
bound" To be truly consistent with
their newest fad they also ought to
weep crocodile tears, for they are
now wearing fancy waistcoats made
of what is supposed to be the hide of
alligators. The colors are green and
brown, and the cheapest garment of
the stock sells for $3.50
Forgetting the appearance Of these
STARTERS, which Is not an easy thing
to do, there is an inside story. There
aren't enough alligators In Florida t.
furnish hides for a tenth of the va.
Uses and waistcoats and hand bags
that are sold every year or enough
pickaninnies in the state to furnish
bait to catch the alligators. For years
alligator hides have been manufactur
ed in New York out of sheepskin will

Stand Patters Are BoastfuI.
However, of more general interest Is
the attitude assumed by the leading

as Serene E. Payne did:
1.-The country did not pronounce for
any radical revision of the tariff"
Mr. Payne was joined in his stand
pat position by that other we'll known
supporter of the speaker, Mr.. Dalzell.
and to such a declaration were added
several significant statements that
were to be condensed in the assertion
of the speaker that, inasmuch as the
leading friends of the ruling dynasty
In the house had been returned to con-
gress, apparently the fight made last
summer on the speaker had proved to
be abortive.

Especial Washington Correspondence of
The Argus.)
Obviously it Is not intended that the
people shall rule in the matter of
selecting United States senators, and
the country has been permitted to
witness the final selection of a SEN
ator from New York In the brilliant
personality Of Elihu. Root during the
past week the while the people of
New York looked on, interested but
impotent observers Of the process.
Beginning with the somewhat aXio-
matte proposition that the aged Thorn

ator ends next March, should not be
returned because he had not repre-
sented the people Of the Empire
State, the White House addressed it.
self to the task of selecting the man
who must sit In the senate for the en-
suing six years. Certain "organiZa-
ton" politicians were asked to call
on the president. who indicated to
them that 1t was his wish that the ill.,
cumbent secretary of state succeed
Mr.. Plat. Within a few days it was
announced that no doubt remained
that Mr.. Root would be the new SEN
ator.
Wherein the mass of the voters OF
New York had to say in the making OF
this programme does not appear tC

had been asked or given by the people
of that state on the subject. nor had

BEST AGE FOR MARRIAGE.

A German doctor lays it down as
a well established fact based on
close observation that women who do
not marry until IS or thereabout
invariably achieve matrimonial sue
cess.
Why women of this particular age
should make more successful mar
riages than those who fall victims
to loves young dream is fairly OBJ
vious. When a woman marries be-
tween 80 and 40 she either does so
for companionship, choosing her
mate accordingly, or from need, in
which case she also chooses with a
certain amount of care. She has
no wild dreams of unalloyed bliss.

TAKING A FACE BATH.

Water will do wonders for one if
people but realized it. AS a COM
plexion maker, for instance, it is a
great beautifer used both internally
and externally. An excellent tonic
effect may be had by taking a face
bath at least once day in cold wa
ter. Fill a basin with the water,
placing it on a stand or chair where
it can be conveniently reached with
out too much STOPPING. Drawing a
long breath, dip the face in and cut
of the cold water for about two or
three minutes. When it is neces-
sary to breathe the mouth can be
lifted from the water, but immedi-
ately take another deep breath.

NEW FRENCH COINAGE ILLEGAL.

The French government finds it.
self-or is authoritatively declared to
be in the position of, if not exactly
"smasher," at any rate an issuer of
bad money. 1t has just minted a
25-centime piece in nickel, and it
seems that the law provides that only
multiples of ten are permissible.
Twenty-centime pieces would be all
right. Notwithstanding pieces
are illegal. A committee specially
appointed by the government has
formulated this conclusion, and,
technically, it is unquestionably cor
rect. The government is now asked
what it proposes to do in the matter.

In Turkey, and it is regarded by them
as religious enterprise. 1t is intend
ed to make easier the pilgrimage to
the holy city. The religious motive
has not only led the faithful in various
parts of the, world to contribute
money for the railroad, but, stranger
still, it has led the Turkish officials
and contractors engaged in the actual
work of construction to abstain from
