Waterproof Coats of Grass.

In the tropics of Mexico, where
torrential rains fall part of each
year, raincoats are a very necessary
part OF mans apparel, Owing to the
intense heat which prevails in the
summer season the ordinary rubber
ra1ncoat cannot be worn. A rainproof
coat is made from native grasses and
is worn by the men of the middle
and upper classes. The grasses are
woven close together, and it is impos-
sible for the rain to beat through
them, no matter how hard the storm
may be. Some of these coats are
made with hood which protects the
head as well as the body.

His Measure.

"a few friends" relates Mr.. James
Moir in the Draughts World, were
chatting with Wyllie, the checker
champion, in club after one of his
days Of exhibition play in Glasgow
when youth, slightly under the infiu-
ence Of John Barleycorn. threatened
to monopolize the conversation. blow
ing his own horn and giving OUT in no
uncertain language that he considered
himself the equal Of Wyllie. The old
man took no notice of him for a time,
but, occupying the usual five. minutes
in considering the move, quietly asked
the youth to remove his Int mot more
than six and half size, then sub
stituted his own-which was n large
one and went well down over the
young braggarts nose-and, casting
his eye around the company, said
scornfully, That's his. measured! The
company enjoyed the retort so much
that the youth was glad to make a
hurried exit"

If he thought art students did well to

To illustrate his meaning he said that
