 At Home for TWentv-Five Gents a Quart

Cincinnati, O., October 6.--Through a re- cent discovery of an expert distiller of this city method has been discovered for making whiskies. liquors and cordials in the privacy of the home. With a con- centrated extract smooth and mellow whisky liquor or cordial can be made. saving the liquor dealers enormous profits. Requires no apparatus of any kind A few minutes does the work. The question of legality Of this process has been carefully investigated and found to ~be legal and legitimate under all laws. This new method of making liquors at home will be welcomed by thousands of people not only on account of the purity and excellence of the liquors that can be made, but on account of its great saw ing. With this new method quart of delicious and healthful liquor can be made for 25 cents, equal if not better than that sold at four times the price. It is indeed wonderful, and the discoverer of this method has received thousands of letters of praise. We understand that the discoverer of this wonderful product is any responsible person to try q whole quart free on trial, and we would suggest that any one who enjoys real good whisky write to the Universal Im- port Co.,.

NEW FASHIONS IN
 CLOTHES FOR MEN Appearance of Side Whis- kers Causes Flutter in
 the Ranks

George Edgar In the London Daily
 Mail.
 1. The appearance of side whiskers and -trouser straps as articles of fashion able attire has fiuttered the limited circles in London where men move who attach importance to being well dressed. There are signs that some stronger influence is at work than mere change in the detail of fashion. Many believe this lapse back to the sartorial ideals of the Victorian period is something moro than mere whim sical striving after an effect different from prevailing habit.
 Mems clothes vary but little all the year round The differences are only in trivial matters of detail, and if tho change is progressive the steps taken are so minute that the trend from one extreme to the other Is scarcely per ceptible except to those whose eycs are trained to the slow stages in the swing of the pendulum Even the adop- ton of the side whisker Is not so startling as would at first sight appear. Man has swung from whiskers so droil in appearance that they animated his popular songs to the facial mode of our Ady WHen lUe nero Ol SIdStpldy UT story bares bulldog jowl. There Is nothing more natural than that he schould swing slowly back from the clean-shaven ideal of today to tho whiskers of 1880 by growing a wisp or two of hair on the side of his face. The neat side whisker is therefore only straw betraying the way the wind is blowing.
 And this time man instead of ad- vancing step by step in changing his fashions is making a leap. Tired of the drab monotony and sameness of his daily habit, he rebounds in the d. rection of the tail end of d period which closed a blaze of glorious fash ions for men whose varieties of forro and color still bewilder the casual stu dent. After retracing his steps, thls halting place somewhere about the early Victorian period may prove only the threshold of his advance hack wards to an adoption of the costumec worn by Englishmen through stilI more glowing centuries.
 Without any stretch of the .fmaRina- tion we may yet see again the wig, the bagwig, the periwig, and the perruoue. back may come the cravat. the knee breech. and white silk stockings of the Georgian bucks: or we may have the silk brocaded shirt, the slashed sleeves. and the much be-buttoned. glowing waistcoats of the period when the sec ond Charles was king. The Strand, Re- gent street. and the Mall may feast the eye with mulberry. orange plush, gold brocade and claret colors, and we may again saunter with a qufzzing- glass to look over the latest belle whose patched face greets us artiG- cialfy as she trips of morning to the fashionable dressmakers Indeed, some leisurely buck, in sheer reaction, may challenge the taxfcab by making a stately progress in a gilded chair. And why not. pray-why not?
 There Is a genuine impulse in the air. Only few weeks ago I went through the Kensington museums to find out how men appeared in Charles

Can't Give His Money Away

From the London Chronicle.A
 Baked by the police of any desire to continue showering gold and silver in the streets, MT. Green. an eccentric Amer ican, who was charged recently with causing an obstruction in Fleet street, is offering prize of 200 pounds for the best method of distributing wealth without colIiding with the law.
 At this hotel yesterday. the "philan- thropist's secretary said that his employ CT had been giving away gold and silver for years. He has indulged in his habit all over the world, and recently caused some excitement in Brighton and Liver pool.
 He says that his greatest sensation has been made In London, and it was the only occa sion where he had to make his ap- pearance in a police court. His notoriety has led to his being inundated with ap- plications from persons willing to relieve him of some of his spare cash.
 MT Green was born at Newcastle'' the secretary added, but has been in America for many years. The money has been left him. All I can say is, 1t comes in large quantities. No. there is no stipu- lation that he must give it away as he does. It is his hobby to give the money away. He likes to see the surprise and delight on the faces of the poor who re- ceive it."

day. My guide was Mir Tom Hestle- wood, well-known designer of cos tunes for theatres, pageants and the newer type of pageant ball so popular last year. I recall we stood in front of case of specimen costumes of tho Stuart period. rich silks made into slim elaborately buttoned coats, belaced
 brooches with stockings and slippers.
 some of these last colored One is not
 costumer for nothing and the period evidently filled MT. Hestlewood's eye. DO you know my cicerone explained tapping the floor with a sauntering
 malacca stick which may have done
 duty in the brave days of Bath, q be-
 lieve all this will come back"
 All this. according to MT. Hestle- woods sweep of the arm, meant the roomful of costumes which gave us a bird's-eye view of the modes of two centuries. He instanced today's steady growth of interest in male costume ef-
 fleets. First, the startling waistcoat,
 then the craze for dressing up for sports, afterwards the call of the pas
 sionate sock. followed by a craving for highly colored pa jamas. And running
 behind each phase was first the pas
 toral play out of doors. then the devel-
 opment of the pageant. Immediately
 followed by last seasons zest for brave
 personal adornment encouraged at a
 series of fancydress balls. Men are
 revolting at the meanness of present
 day attire. Just as there was a revival of costume effects after the drab years of Puritanism, so shall we revolt from
 the era of dull, commercial dressing that came as reaction from the gay but quieting splendours of the Geor- gian period.
 There is more in the present start ling departure than meets the eye. These things have always run in cy- cIes-frst dull period, then a gay one, then q moderate but interesting curtailment. fading out into period of cullness. Fashions for men may react again and switch from the stern for mallty of the present to a fiorid extrav- agance of attire rivalling anything at tempted by the bucks of the Stuart reigns. People who do not worry over much about these things say: Never again; in our day these brave trap pings would not do.' To that the cos- tuner answers: .Go look at the coats the dandles wore" They are not so luxurious as casual students think 1 apart from the occasional but not gem

An Economical Irish man

An Irishman, just landed, secured a position as fireman In a large factory. The chief engineer instructed him in his new duties, saying: "To run the engine we require 1e5 pounds of steam, you can always tell how much steam you have by looking at this gauge"
 Shortly afterwards the engineer noticed that the engine was slowing down. Call ing to the boiler room he Inquired of Pat how much steam he had on.
 "Oi have hundred and forty-foiye pounds. sor," answered the new fireman.

From the London Daily Times.

From the London Daily Times.
 Nowadays. if you wish to know mans s character, do not look at hls face; look at his furniture. Tn his household goods you will find true index to his virtues and vices, his strength and his weakness. His sins are solidified in his sdeboards and hls virtues in his vases. Humor. or the lack of 1t. may permeate his hang ings, while wisdom may finger in his wallpaper.
 No longer do furniture buyers adhere tenaciously to one particular mode sim ply because 1t happens to be "the fash ion." Individuality Is allowed free play. Many moderrs do not feel ahuned to the century in which they find themselves. and in their furniture they endeavor to approximate as closely as possible to the age with which they feel most in sym pathy Thus.

 After all, I have had white waist coats since Sala wore them day by day: I have seen a yellow waistcoat within the year; recently I saw man with four inches of his trousers turned up to show pink silk socks wildly striped wading through the puddles of an outrageous summer.

 Comfort has come into fts own again. Tho spindie-iegsed and the spidery have ceased to attract. Tho table which top- pied over at the slightest provocation, the chair with a deficiency of back. and tho couch which completely swallowed ono up have been busted by furniture which is at once seductive and sensibie. Even solid bedsteads with oyerhangipr canopies and curtains are affected by sleepers who prefer cosiness to all the new-fangled notions of scientists and hy- gienists.
