GAY OLD FASHIONS.
Dandies of Past Centuries WouII Make ... Solomon Look Sad.

b.. Solomon Look Sad.
 Compared with the gay apparel worn by the danGies of the past ages the youths of our time in the gayest of gay raiment make but poor show.
 The bishop of Ely in the fourteenth century had q change of raiment for every day i'll the year. The Earl of Northumberland bOasted no less than sixty cloth of gold suits at this time
 In the time of Chaucer the men wore clothes as many colored as JoSeDh's coat, so that while one leg would be a blaze of crimson, the other would be tricked out in green. blue or yellow without any regard for harmony or contrast.
 Even as late as the middle of the eighteenth century. a dandy would dress himself in a vivid green coat, a waistcoat of scarlet. yellow brooches and blue stockings.
 And the gentleman of a few years later wore. among other vagaries, a coat of light green. with sleeves too small for the arms and buttons too big for the sleeves; pair of fine Man chester brooches; clocked silk stock ings; club of hair behind larger than the head which carried it; a hat not larger than a sixpence.
 It was common thing in the early part of the eighteenth century for a man of fashion to spend several hours daily in the hands of his valet Among the many operations which took up this time was ''the starching of the beard and the proper pertaining of the garments. the painting of the face and anointing with oils. tinctures, essences and pOmatums.-London Standard.

The republican senatorial conven- tion for the 35th district, which in- cludes the 13 towns of Holland county, has been called by the com mittee, H. o. Smith, William B.
 Sprague and R. B. Horton, at Staff ford Springs, next Saturday, at Il. 30 a. m. There has been little agitation here in regard to the candidate, and about the only name mentioned for the nomination is that of Col. Will liam H. Hall of Wilmington. The democrats will probably nominate an out-of town man for senator, now that Mayor Lyman T. Tingier has place on the state ticket as candidate for lieutenant-governor. If he had not been nominated on the state ticket he would probably have been the candi- date for senator, and would have made a lively contest in this republican dis trict. B. M. Yeomans of Andover is again mentioned as the possible demo- cratic nominee for senator in this dis trict, as he has had the honor of being candidate in past years. M. D. O'Con- nell of Stafford Springs is also men, tioned as a strong candidate for the nomination, as he represented his town in an able manner in the last - Rockville Correspond ence in Sunday Republican.
