While every man wears a craVat'

who could in an offhand way tell you
how it came about that men first
placed such an ornament about their
collars. The word cravat came into our
language about 1886. Prior to that
year q feature Of the uniform OF the
Austrian cavalry was a wide band or
coarse linen worn in folds around the
neck under their short hussar jackets.
This cavalry organization was called
the Cravatte, it's members being styled
the Cravattes. Later In the seven
teenth century France recruited Il reg
iment of cavalry, adopting for 1t the
uniform of the Austrian regiment re-
cruited In Croatia, calling it the Royal
Cravattes. Later in England the WORD
cravat was applied to a neckerchler'

Land company has just made an in
voice of its business, among which the
land sales were as follows: Fifty-one
sales, aggregating transfer of 1861
acres, for consideration Of $272, 1 35.
The above figures are on land alone
and do not include city property deals.
There are in the county about Is active
real estate firms, and if they all did as
well it would run the figures of sales
way up into the millions.

members of the Christian church last

month of April was 221 feet in the
west end and 139 feet in the east end
A strong flow of water at the heading
On the east end on April "a compelled
the worhmen to quit work at the head
ing and the gang has since been work
ing on the approach to the tunnel on
the east end. Hence Is feet of the 13
feet were in the direction of the head
gate and not at the heading in the tun-
mel. On the 9th of May 626, 600 gallons
of water were pumped out of the east
end and the pressure of the water was
so great as to force a stream out of
the air pipe at rate of 80 gallons a
minute, which gives an idea of the OBJ
stacle from that source in the river
end. Since the flow was first struck
the amount being forced out by its own
pressure has fallen from 100 to 80 gal
Ions minute which indicates that it is
slowly being drained out.
For the first six days in May the
progress in the west end was 80 feet
and on the east end toward the head
gate 80 feet. This leaves a distance of
5443 feet between headings.
