SURVIVALS OF OLD STYLES
Interesting to Trace the Various Pe- riods Denoted by the Clothes of
 English Servants.

By a large number of interesting survivals, says the London Times in it's report of MT. Wilfred M Webb s lecture before the Pathological so- ciety, dress illustrates the innate con- servatism of humanity
 Among these survivals is the hat band, the original purpose of which was to hold piece of cloth or linen round the head. A picture exists of an Egyptian figure dated $500 B. C., the headgear of which consists of a piece of linen, with band tied round 1t that terminates in two tails at the back. A survival of that is to be found in the tails of the present-day Scot tish bonnet and of the sailors cap. Again, the clocks on stockings were originally species of ornamentation put on to hide the seams where the stuff was joined together The points" on the backs of gloves originally were strips of braid used to cover the seams in the gloves of early times.
 Men of fashion, when they tired of particular suits of clothes, have al ways given them away to their serv- ants, and the practice has resulted in some styles of servants costume fa- miliar to us in modern days. The groom, for example, represents gen. tleman of the beginning of the nine teenth century, and he still wears the belt that ladies used to hold on by when riding behind on the billion. The footman, with plush brooches and pow dered hair, is gentleman of the time of George III; the sheriff's coachman, with full-skirted coat and wig, is a gentleman of the time of George II; and the Lord Mayors coachman and suite are very fine gentlemen of the time of George III. In the twentieth century we hand on our evening clothes to the walters who stand be- hind us at the dinner table.

he afterWard happily married, he never once ventured to write to her except on a postcard.
 Emma would have heard from me frequently" he says, according to writer in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, but that l had a morbid fear that she would expect what is called love let ter I am capable of conveying some account of my affairs by the pen, but I cannot, and never could, enlarge on the subject of my emotions. l am not sentimental, or at any rate, l am not sentimental on paper
 1 wonder how many women realize this masculine peeuliarity and make adequate allowance for it? There IS a convention between betrothed cou- ples that an ardent espondence should contain some assurance of af. lection. It is a custom which bears very hard on some male tempera- ments.
 The happy young girl listening for the postman's knock and hoping for just scribble" from her fiance, lit tie knows now considerable has been the labor of producing that scribble. Precisely because he has had difil- culty in composing it it's punctual ar rival testifies to his fondness. The writing of the scribble has been a real sacrifice of time, as well as consider able struggle for ideas Neverthless, hn al tv af Ys'c sscribble" is subtly absent. For the prime characteristic of love letter, "scribbled'' or not, IS that it should be spontaneous.
 To be a fluent writer of love letters is given to few men-professional au- come engaged and who enforees a rule that she shall receive a perfervid out pouring of epistolary art at regular in- tervals from her future husband is conceivably making profound psychological mistake For she is causing him to be untrue to himself for her sake
 Not that his fond speeches, when he and she are alone with each other, are untrue. But for him the putting of similar fond speech on paper is untrue, inasmuch as he is of those who have to think out what they write and such things, when spoken, are not thought out;'' they come spon- taneously and that is their beauty.

CAT CAUSED MUCH TROUBLE
Family Pet Has Been Formally Cau-
 toned that "The Cave" Is Not Public Property.

Out in Woodruff place number of small boys have banded together and done what most boys have done if they were real-for-sure boys-built cave, says the Indianapolis News. Alp preaching this cave is long under ground tunnel about two feet square. What there is in this tunnel in the way of side chambers and the like, the fathers and mothers never will know, but at the inside end of the tunnel is the den, about five feet square, built in side hill and as dark as the most cavernous depths of Wyandotte cave
 One of the youngsters belonging to the band of cave dwollers hurried home from school the other afternoon, donned his cave outfit, and made for the tunnel. Crawling in flat on the ground, he made his way toward the den. Arriving there, he heard a scram- bling noise just ahead and two fiery spots loomed up in the darkness. His teeth chattered with fright. He couldn't back away, he was too fright ened to go forward, and there was no chance of escape at either side. The fiery spots became active and the boy became panicky.
 Just what happened in there the outside world will never know, but when the cat-it was the family cat came out of the tunnel it was going some No cat ever moved faster, and it didn't stop until it had reached a barn three fots away
 And the boy-when he emerged his face was as white as the arctic snow and he was moving rapidly for the open. The next afternoon the boy painted a sign on which were the words: ..The Cave" in white paint, on q blazing yellow back ground. Gazing proudly at the sign he explained:
 Now. if that fool cat can read, hell keep out of there

ton of being at one time the youngest
delegate to a national political con-

only p years old, he was elected a
delegate to represent the Democracy
OF his state in the Democratic national
convention held in Baltimore, which
nominated Breckenridge and Lane.

SAGE TEA DANDY

Look Years YOuger! Use the Old.

Nobody win Know.

You can turn gray, faded hair beau
TRULY dark and lustrious almost over
night if you'll get a 50-cent bottle of
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
at any drug store. Millions of bottles
OF this old famous Sage Tea Recipe,
improved by the addition CT other in
gradients, are sold annually, SAYS n
Well-known druggist here, because il
darkens the hair so naturally and ev-
emily that no one can tell it has been
applied.
Those whose hair is turning gray or
becoming faded have a surprise await
ing them, because after one or two
applications the gray hair vanishes
and your locks become luxuriantly
dark and beautiful.
This is the age of youth. Gray-hair-
ed unattractive folks aren't wanted
around, so get busy with Wyeth's Sage
and sulphur Compound tonight and
you'll be delighted with your dark,
handsome hair and your youthful ap-
pearance within few days.

cation or prevention of disease.

held their famous convention in
Charleston, nominating Douglas and
Johnson, thus making the split in his
own party highly satisfactory to the
Republicans by permitting the election
OF Lincoln to the presidency.
Capt. Cobb thus started his political
career as a delegate to national con-
vontions fifty-six years ago, and now
the news comes from Georgia that the
Democrats of his county will probably
send him to the coming Democratic
national convention at ST. Louis, where
he will represent a constituency
probably composed of the grand
sons of the men who sent him to Bal
timore in 1860 The old gentleman,
from all available reports, is an ex-
tremely active politician, even though
he is eight years past the age allotted
to man. He is president of the Georgia
Agricultural society and holds the Of
fee of ordinary of Sumter county.
He seems to be in the same class with
the late Henry Gassaway Davis, OF
West Virginia, having apparently suf-
fered no diminution of his physical
powers.
With a governor now past 70 years
who is running for the same office,
and with Capt. Cobb at rs represent
ing the state in a national conven-
ton, it looks as though age is polit-
ical asset in Georgia.-Hartford Cour-

leather bindings and glue have also
advanced, according to Bible publish
