Paris, July 12-Away with overcoats.
The Due de Luynes and the Count de
Gontaut- Biron, two men of fashion and
of the most aristocratic blood in all
France. declare that the male Of today
species should rivive the glory of his
pIumage: that the attire Of man is too
sonber. painfully funereal.
De Luynes is uncle of the very young
Due de Chaulnes, whose mother was Miss
Theodore Shonts, of New York. The
Count dc Gontaut-Biron's brother, now
deceased, married Miss Martha Leish-
man, daughter of John G. A. Leishman'
lately American Ambassador at Berlin.
These two beaux-it is spoken respect
fully-declare that masculine attire mas
has been degenerating since the days OF
the citizens King, Louis Philippe. Sew
eraI attempts have been made IN tne
last eighty years to introduce picturesque
dress for men. A time was when the
dress of men of fashion cost far more
than the most eloquent robes Of women.
A feeling is growing in Paris that wom-

the dress of men has become too simple
and ugly.
The first attack has been directed
against vulgar overcoats. The two lead

cIoaks which poets and dandies Of 1880
wore. They also say that the claw

for more time. Suddenly the troops move back again, and around the bed appear hundreds of tiny tents. The man in the bed groans. They are gO- ing to starve him out.
 The man sticks his head out from the cover for air. His head is hardly out when 1t is struck by great rubber ball, and then, like July storm, when a great cloud breaks, there comes from above downpour of rubber balls, footballs, baseballs, jackballs, tennis balls and balls of every description.
 They beat on the bed and pummel the man like hail on a bed of roses. He lies still and groans. The shower ceases, and then, with the noise of a hurricane there comes rushing through the air what seems an African ty- phoon.
 "It is the hoops. the hoops!" cry the wooden soldiers.
 And so it is. The air is filled with every kind of hoop, and they roll back ward and across the bed like a storm lashed sea. The man screams in pain. Some of the hoops have bells on them, and they ring in his ears as the sharp edges of the bent hickory cut his face. He is weak and pale, but does not give in.
 Then there is q clang of bells and a blowing of whistles, and with a rush the entire toy firo department makes for the bed. Following them come the tin locomotives, wildly ringing their bells. and back of them the toy trolleys. The bed looks like a side street during a four alarm fire
 Now the hose connections are made, and scores of streams of water beat on his face. From the foot of the bed comes a cloud of steam from the en- zines, while hot and blazing above are sparks from the trolleys as they grind along the brass of the bed. He fights hard, but finally succumbs and falls weak and exhausted. The flremen ring their bells and start back for the fire houses, while the soldiers keep back the crowds of brownies. Indians, rub Der men. tenpins. jumping jacks and walking monkeys that were chnging around the ropes.
 The man watched all this carefully. Then he covered his eyes with his arm. Somehow 1t all faded away. He seem- ed to be climbing over a wall. He reached the top and. looking down a pathway, saw a summer house. About 1t the Nlacs fell in great clusters. Looking through the doors. he saw be- nea. .h vista of the cedars and waving naples rows of flower beds, and she was there among them, clipping, train ing and guiding over trellises the ten der blossoms she loved so dearly. In the summer house and on the floor he saw boy.
 He was lying on the floor, while his chubby hands placed about the fort of sand the little soldiers he took from a box. The man sighed He opened his eyes and looked about him. It was the inside room on the sixteenth floor. 1t was very quiet He looked in the glass and saw tear in his eye. It ran down his cheek, and another came

1 in Its place and followed 1t. Then he threw open the window. Like tenn pest in rushed the noise-the blowing of the horns, the chatter of the rattles and the laughter of merry people. He dressed hurriedly. From his satchel he took portfolio and, taking out a check book, wrote check and, grab ping his hat, rushed out of the room.
 "Cash this for me and in hurry" said the man to the night clerk.
 The clerk went to the safe and brought out a roll of bills. He counted it, but there was not enough, and he opened the petty cash drawer and gave the man all that was there.
 "Fine?' said the man, stuffing 1t into his pocket, "I'll be back in the morn
 ng.''
 The man rushed into the street Just half block up lot of little boys were looking at cart full of rubber balls The man handed the peddler a big bill and said, Give all of these to the boys" The peddler looked sur prised, and the boys yelled with glee. Across the street were lot of little girls, tired and worn from the day and nights work of running at the cry of "Cashv' but just happy at looking in the windows. Almost like madman the man pushed them into the store, and soon each had a great doll and a shawl and candy and so many things !! that are good before they knew it. Across the street was man selling boxes of tin soldiers.
 "Ahw said the man. with rem iniscent sigh. He jumped on box and yelled for all the boys around to come near him, and as they did he handed each box of soldiers and then paid the man twice the cost.
 "What is it?" said the man.
 "It is Santa Claus gone wild,' said a policeman who had children at home.
 The man rushed on and into a mar ket. It was very late, and the poor were buying the leftovers for Christ mas dinner. The dealers were pack ing up the best to save for the New Years sale.
 "Open up!" cried the man as he flour ished roll of bills. And as the multi tude of pale and worn weat by those in the faded alpacas he reached out and gave them money and said:
 "This is to buy for the children, , while the dealers poured into the yawning baskets the best on the stalls.
 It was morning when he threw him. self in bed, tired, but such good tired. He stretched himself out and fell asleep. And in Sleepland he looked out, and there before him. as far as his eyes could reach, were the soldiers all drawn up for review. The tiny bands began to play. The officers marched proudly at the head of the column. The parade began to move up the room. then up to the bed and across. He arose and saluted, for as they passed the guns were all at pre- sent arms, and the colors dipped as they went before him.
 The toys were the victors, but they honored the conQuered.-New York Mall.

The kernel of the fruit Canar1um commune is eaten both raw and roast ed in the Moluccas. An oil is express ed from it which is used both for ta- ble purposes and for lamps The tree grows about 50 feet high and is said to have also bark which yields a heavy oil having the same properties as balsam copaiba, for which it is said to be a substitute.
