STYLE IN OLD ST. LOUIS.
Dress of the Men and Women There IN
Colonial Times.

Colonial Times.
Monette in his history Of the valley
of the Mississippi tells OF the habit Oh
dress which prevailed in st. Louis in
colonial days, Here is what he has to
say:
1.-THE leggings were of coarse linen in
summer and of deerskin in winter.
The principal garment for-th men III
cold weather was generally coarse
blanket capote drawn over the shirt
and long vest. The capote served the
double purpose of cloak and hat. for
the hood attached to the collar br'ind
hung upon the back and shoulders as
a cape. and when desired it served to
cover the whole head, and especially
among the boatmen. voyageilrs and
courseurs de bois the head was envel-
oped in a blue handkerchief. ,turban-
like as protection from the solat
heat and noxious insects.
1.-THE same material. of lighter quail
ity and fancy colors. wrea:hnd with
bright colured ribbons and sometimes
flowers. formed the fancy headdress OF
the females ON festive occasions. AT
other times they also used the hand
kerchef In the more patriarchal style.
.The dress of the matrons was sim.
pie and plain The old fashioned short
Jacket and petticoat, varied to suit the
diversities of taste. was the common
overdress of the women. The feet In
winter were protected by Indian moe
assins or the more unwieldy clog shoe.
but in summer and in dry weather the
foot was left uncovered and free ex-
cept on festive occasions and holidays.

HOW TO RENovATE
LAST YEARS GOWN.

The revival of the pegtop skirt
has brought about the use Of
. four or five rutiies Of graduated
depth, the deepest beginning at
; the waist.
This fashion should instantly
suggest to a woman what she
can do with one of last winters
gowns that is in need OF reno
waiting. Lace or net or chiffon
or tulle can be used for these
ruffles. The one requirement is
that they should be so draped
:. and gathered that they steadily
diminish toward the foot line.
AS the entirely plain satin or
velvet skirt is not in first fash
! ion this winter any woman may
be glad to know how she can
; use what she has.
1t may not be an expensive
proposition to buy lace or any
. other fabric sufficiently to supply
! these ruffles. but only the wo-
man herself can tell whether the
experiment is worth the price.

in the United States and the sur

These appalling facts should warn
us that after sickness, colds, over

be promptly and regularly used be-
cause tubercular germs thrive only

The tested and proven value OF
SCOTS Emulsion is recognized by
the greatest specialists because its
medical nourishment assi1n;lates
quickly to build healthy tissue;
aids in the development of active,
life-sustaining blood corpuscles;
strengthens the lungs and builds
physical force without reaction.
SCOTS Emulsion is used III tuber-

alcohol or habit forming drug.

All Treatment Experime ntal.

All treatment. however carefully
chosen. is in the nature OF an expert
ment. writes Dr. F. M. Sandwich in
the Clinical Journal, for none can
know the exact effect of any treat
ment or drug on any individual atienr
until he has tried it. A drug may suit
ninety nine persons but be Injurious

a Bows Visit to Washington.

n Boys Visit 10 w dStFiJtous
When a Colonel b. of Virginia
fame was boy of seven years his
mother took him to spend the day with
General and Mrs Washington. The
boy had heard so much of the great
general that he was afraid to meet
him, and he hoped that something
would happen to prevent the visit.
But it didn't, and the only consolation
the youngster had was the possession
of a new suit with brass buttons for
the occasion While driving there In
coach the lads mother remarked, This
is the generals birthday. and want
you to say something pretty to him"
The boy looked alarmed. so his moth
er hastily added, You might say that
you hope the good Lord will spare him
to our people many years to come
He repeated this speech all the way
there. Washington was standing near
the fireplace in the library, his hands
behind his back, when they first saw
him that day The boy was attracted
to his penetrating eyes. and he after
ward remembered he was not as Sc
we're looking as his portraits. Mrs.
Washington was knitting at the win
dow, and the boy liked her Kind face.
After the greetings We're over the gen
eral patted the boy on the bead. and
then the boy. in confusion. stammered
his little speech thus: II hope the good
Lord will spare me to the peOple! A
laugh followed. and the boy ran out OF
the room, while his mother tried to ex-
plain. His confusion was forgotten at
tea time by Mrs. Washington present.

BRAINY AND CRAZY.
Eceentricity Of cruden, Compiler Of the
Bible Concordance.

SsSsO SS'SS' S~'S~s
Alexander Cruden, the persever-
ng and painstaking compiler of the
famous concordance to the Bible,
vas appointed bookseller to the
queen of George II. by Sir Robert
Walpole. The concordance which
has conferred celebrity on his name
vas published and dedicated to
Queen Caroline in 1887. He was
permitted to present copy of it in
person to her majesty, who, he said,
smiled upon him and assured him
she was much obliged to him. She
died sixteen days afterward, and
Cruden did not reap the benefit Of
the queens appreciation which he
had anticipated. He prepared sec
ond edition twenty-four years after
ward and dedicatedf It to her grand
son, George III. For this and a
third edition, issued in 1869, he
reaped a reward of $500.
Cruden was a very eccentric char
acter and was thrice placed in pri-
vate lunatic asylums. He designat-
ed himself alexander the Correc-
tor" and also the "Corrector of Nor
ais" his claim to the latter title con-
sisting in his stopping all persons
whom he met in public places on
Sundays and admonishing them to
90 home and keep the Sabbath day
holy. He was a great believer in
the distribution of tracts and spent
a great part Of his means in this
way.
1T seems difficult to believe that
an eccentric man of this sort should
have his name associated with such
remarkably painstaking book as
his concordance undoubtedly is, as
it must have cost an enormous
amount of labor in its compilation,
but it was probably the severity of
his occupation that unhinged his
mind. He died at Camden street,
Islington, on Nov. l, 177O.
