The Last of the Ruffs.

In 1862 the rage for ruffs, such as
are seen on many monumental effigies,
began to decline. A writer in the Lon
don Chronicle Of that year says of gen.
tlemen's dress, "Their cuffs entirely
cover their wrists, and only the edges
Of their ruffles are to be SEEN" 1t is
said that distaste for rufus was first
created so far back as 1913, when a
woman named Turner wore them on
her trial for the murder by poison Of
Sir Thomas Overbury. The French rev.
olution of 1889 much Influenced British
fashion, and the picturesque cooked
hat and ruffles then gave way general
ly to round hats and small cuffs. The
period of their final disuse cannot be
easily determined, as men of old fash
toned or eccentric habits have worn
ruffled shirt fronts within quite recent
memory.

An Ancient Trauedy,

A historical paper in Lord Montagu's
collection in London tells of strange
tragedy "done in Holborn, little be-
fore Christmas" several centuries ago:
"a boy seven years old came up into
a gentleman's chamber and prattled to
him and drew his sword and flourished
with it. The gentleman, being in bed,
wondered to see the boy toss his blade
so and said: so, good boy, thou hast
done we'll. Put in the sword The boy
persisting, the gentleman rose and held
him the scabbard, and the rude hand
ed lad, thinking to sheath the sword,
Justify chOpt it into his body. Compa-
ny were called. One offered to strike
the child. Let him alone quoth the
gentleman. God is just. This boys
father did l kill five years since and
none knew. Now he hath revenged 1t.
And the gentleman died the second
dressing"

DARING BELLE BOYD, WAR SPY
Brilliant and Romantic Career of the
Famous War Spy of COnfed-
crate Army.

Stonewan JacKsons 77::.!ev campaign
was one of the great deeds Of history.
Not since Napoleon's time have men
been so dazzled as they were by that
great exploit of his. Yet StOnewall
might have gone down the valley in
defeat had it not been for little col
lege girl named Belle Boyd.
The Union general, Shields, was
quartered at Miss BOyd's house. He
held a council Of war there. Miss
Boyd bored a hole in the floor Of her
chamber, which was over Shields
room, and lay there with her ear to
it throughout the night. The next
morning Stonewall Jackson was in full
possession Of the plans for great bat
tie and was able to defeat the Union
army.
She kept up her valiant work for
the Confederates until the Union Off.
GERS began to suspect her, and Jack
son ordered her to move from her
Shenandoah home to Winchester. She
had been arrested by the federals and
had flirted her way to liberty, for she
was a pretty girl despite the libelous
photographs of her. In Winchester
Jackson conferred upon her commits
sion as captain in the Confederate
army. By this time the whole north
had become aware Of the services she
was rendering the Confederacy, and
every officer and private was on the
alert to get her. Yet she escaped until
1864, when she was caught on block
ade runner. Her captor lost his heart
to her. deserted the navy and married
her, and the Prince Of Wales, after
ward Edward VII, attended the wed.

Tricky Fox.

A gentleman while hunting near a
river one winter day saw fox run
out on the ice and make at full speed
for an opening in the ice where the
rushing water Of the river could be
plainly seen from the bank, says the
Scotsman. At the edge he stopped,
turned, followed his tracks back to the
bank and then ran some distance down
the stream and sat there. Soon a dog
came crashing out of the woods, bay
ing finely, hot on the fox's trail. Now,
dogs when on chase Of this kind
trust almost entirely to their noses.
This one was no exception. He ran
along the ice, head down, and when he
reached the hole he could not stop, but
plunged into the water and disappear
ed forever. Then the fox trOtted away
with every sign Of satisfaction.
