Origin of the Tricofon

The French tricolor, which has been
traced by ingenious antiquaries to SO
many different sources, is really de-
rived from the dress Of the "Trinitari-
ans" a religious order founded special
ly for the purpose of redeeming from
slavery those Christians who had been
captured by Moors, Turks or other Gin
fidels." They held large endowments
in Rome and formerly owned part Of
the present gardens Of New College.

A Glimpse of Lisbon.

Lisbon leaves the definite impression
Of a gay, bright capital, if not Of a
truly beautiful city. Beautiful it GER
tainly is by nature, seated on its lofty
hills overlooking the Tagus and inter-
spersed everywhere with semitropic
gardens and largos, but its newer
houses are too rectangular, too lack
ing in Imagination, to make anything
but rather .menotonous streets. Even
the Praca do Commerce. though laid
out upon a truly magnificent scale,
fails to arouse enthusiasm.
This is the city's aspect to the casual
visitor who devotes but day or two to
its sights. But to one who is willing to
give it week or more it holds many
attractions.
The seeker for the picturesque will
delight in the water front in the morn
ing hours and in the fisher folk-the
men in black bag caps and knee
: breeches; the women, barefoot, setting
out with basket on head to trot the
city streets. These fishwives are the
most picturesque of the Lisbon types,
and most of them are really beautiful,
the fine Ovals of their faces, their
smooth compilations and lustrous, al
mond shaped eyes recalling the Maui
resques and clearly bespeaking their
oriental origin. - Ernest Peixotto in

SINGULAR Statues.

The bust of Mr.. Chamberlain, with
an eyegass. at the Guildhall reminds
one of the statue of Francois Coppee in
Paris, with marble cigarette. There
are two statues in Great Britain which
deserve including in the catalogue of
sculptured curiosities. One stands in
the central square of Glasgow and
represents the figure of James Oswald,
NJ. p, holding his top hat upside down
by the brim, as if he were offering to
catch pennies. The other Is the statue
of Samuel Palmer. in the main street
Of Reading. The venerable biscuit
maker has not only chimney pot of
the period, but an umbrella Of the true
Sairey Camp kind. Both statues often
cause a smile.-London Tit-Bits.

Microscopic Mechanism

Mymecides, an ancient carver, was
so proficient in microscopic mechanism
that he made an ivory ship, with all
its decks, masts, yards, rigging and
sails, in so small a compass that it
might have been hidden under the wing
of fly. He also made a chariot with
four wheels and as many harnessed
horses, which took up scarcely more
room than the ship.
George Whitehead, an Englishman,
made ship. with all things pertaining
to it, to move, as if it sailed, upon ia
BILE. "All hands were aloft, a woman
made music on lutte, and a little
puppy cried in the midship, all of
which variety" says the old writer,
"was pleasant and diverting."

A Freak of Fashion

Many letters still exist written by
prominent citizens of colonial times or
dering clothing, chiefly from Europe.
Rich laces, silk materials, velvet and
fine cloth of light and gay colors
abounded. Frequently they ordered
,nightgowns Of silk and damask. These
nightgowns were not a garment worn
at night, but sort Of a dressing gown.
Harvard students in 1854 were forbid
den to wear them. Alice Morse Earle
in her writings in Home Life In
Colonial Days says that under the
name Of banyan the nightgowns became
very fashionable, and men had their
portraits painted in them-for instance,
the portrait of Nicholas Boylston, now
tn Harvard memorial hall.

The Blow of a Wave.

There is an instrument of English
invention which is employed to deter
mine the measure of the blow of a
wave. This instrument was used to
measure the wave blow off the Sherry
wore rock, Scotland. There the waves
sweep in from the wide Atlantic. In
summer a force of over 600 pounds to
the square foot was recorded. In win
ter as high as ton to the square foot
was attained. These figures give some
idea as to what ships, lighthouses and
other similar structures have to con-
tend with during stress of foul weather

happily who regards himself alone,
who turns everything to his own
advantage. Go forth into the busy
