The Dress of the Highlanders

The highland dress, without a rival in picturesqueness, unique in it's longevity and remarkable for the manner in which it has been employed to distinguish the different families or clans of one race, lappears to be survival of the ordinary Roman dress and relic of Caesars in- |vasion of Britain, From the time when it was first adopted and while fashion has been busy with changes in other parts of the world the costume seems to have un- dergone little modification. That this dress should have been selected and ad- hered to as the national garb is due to it's undeniable utility. Wrapped in his plaid. the highlander was indifferent alike to soaking mist and violent storm; he was prepared to pass the night in de- fance of the most indictment weather, while the loose undergarment would have been difficult to improve upon when wad- ing mountain torrents or climbing the steep sides of ravine ard glen.

 We Austrian Germans) wish to bring about harmony between the Medltera- mean powers. I am coning, perhaps for the first time, an idea that may be ill- received in country which is not well disposed towards the Germanic German people. This idea is the Mediterranean for the Mediterranean States. This is directed especially against a power which has it's hands in all the affairs of the world Germanische (Deutschtum) We will not stand that, and we go hand in hand with the Italians and the French. We wish also to be recognized in the Mediterranean as fully valid Mediterra- means. When establish unity among the Mediterranean powers, the power in question will be solidly opposed.

and he started last week on a round of the state. Broussard Is also cam paigning and the fight is hot one.
 While personally I favor Broussard and shall vote for him, l am inclined to believe that Sanders will win. be- cause he has the machine with him. 1t looks as if he will get the vote of New Orleans, while Broussard will surely get the votes in other parts of the state. It may be that Sanders majority in New Orleans in the primary next January will be small enough for Broussard to overcome.
 "The contest for the other seat in the Senate is between the incumbent. Senator Foster, and Representative Ransdell. It also may be a close one. The chances favor Senator Foster, but Ransdell has many friends, and it would not surprise anyone to see him win.
 New Orleans has recovered from its disappointment in not getting the Pan anna exposition," added MT. Wegner.

Vienna, August 26-(Special )-The fact : that Princess Zita of Parina who is to
 wed Archduke Charles Francis Joseph. H heir presumptive to the Austrian throne, < is a very close friend of the Princess & Louise, the only daughter of the German Kaiser, is regarded as significant by students of the situation in Austria & Hungary, and it is believed this fact will have an important bearing on the 4 Succession should the Archduke Franz # Ferdinand evince any disposition to can #cel the renunciation of the throne for H4his children by his morganatic wife. #the former Countess Chotek.
 W The idea is that the powerful influence of the German Emperor would be ex- %erted in favor of the husband of his 'Y Ydaughter's dear friend.

ROMAN TAXICABS
 LATEST BRIGANDS

Rome, August 26-(Special.)-T pic turesque brigands of song. story and stage have been pretty well stamped out, but they in a measure have been suc- ceeded by a new type in the persons of ltaxicab men. One of the greatest annoy ances for travellers here is the mode in which the taximeter cabmen make I jour ney of one mile equal in pIce to two and a half, and all this through the way they manage the taxmeter dials. This wholesale cheating of the public has be- come such a nuisance that the autaori- ties have awakened to the necessity of having a uniform taximeter that will,
 when opened, show how it has been tam pered with. The taxicab men cry 'ut loudly against this, which curtails their powers of cheating, and the makers Of taximeters bitterly complain that lhe se- lection of one sort of taximeter will cast unjust reflections on the makers of the |others--so there is 8 great outcry against them.
 Dr. Enrico Serafino. an Italian physl- clan, tells us that neurasthenia results from talking too much. Thinking. nak- ing up phrases, listening to and forming arguments-all these entail a mental cf- fort which excites the whole nervous sys- tenn The final result is nervous break down.
 Giuseppina Bselli, aged 23, of Milan, is a remarkably credulous woman if one r. ay judge by the story which she told at the central police office. whither she repaired to complain that she had been defrauled of her savings. She was approached by q woman dressed in black who fixing her eyes upon the Respondent Giuseppina, in- oured what was the matter with her. The young woman poured out heart load of woe. The black-robed dame was full of sympathy. 'I know precisely what the trouble is." she replied 'I have 1een many cases of the kind You have got a devil in you. Shall I get rid of him for |you?"
 Poor Giuseppina was too terrified to question the assertion. The wise woman thereupon told her to collect all her say ings, put them in box which her friend
