a Dramatic Situation.

Beau Brummel was once sitting at a
table with one Bligh. who was known
to be insane. The Beau. having lost
a considerable stake affected. in his
farcical way, a very tragic air and
cried out. Waiter, bring me fiat cam
dlestick and a pistol Upon which
Bligh. who was sitting opposite to
him, calmly produced two loaded PTS
tolls from his coat pocket, which he
placed on the table. and said. Mr..
Brummel, if you are really DESTROYS to
put a period 10 your existence ! am
extremely happy to offer you the
means without troubling the waiter. "
The effect upon those present may be
easily imagined at finding themselves
in the company of d known mailman
who had loaded weapons about him.

KINGS and SHAVING.

The classic case of king who knew
better than to let anybody else shave
him is that OF Dionysius the elder. ty
rant of Syracuse. who appears to have
been unable to shave himself, for he
is said to have resorted to the un-
comfortable device of smuggling off his
beard with hot walnut shells, says the
London Chronicle. We may suspect
that Napoleon's was another case of
the kind. Rogers asked Talleyrand
whether Napoleon shaved himself.
Yes" replied Talleyrand; lone born to
be !; king has some one to shave him.
but they who acquire kingdoms shave
themselves. That way of putting it
pleasantly emphasizes the practical SUI
periority Of the parvenu to the help.
less, spoiled child of heredity. but pru-
denee probably entered into the mat
ter also. if Talleyrand's statement was
correct.

The Game of Life.

Life becomes. as the stoics more
than once tell us, like play which
is acted or game played with coun-
ters Viewed from the outside. these
counters are valueless, but to those
engaged in the game their Importance
is paramount. What really and ulti-
mately matters is that the game shall
be played as it should be played. God
the eternal dramatist. has cast you
for some part in his drama and hands
you the role. 1t may turn out that
you are cast for a triumphant king.
1t may be for slave who dies of tor
ture. What does that matter to the
good actor? He can play either part.
His only business is to accept the role
given him and to perform it well. = 3
Success or failure is thing he can de-
termine without stirring a hand. 1t
hardly interests him. What interests
him is that one thing which he cannot
determine-the action of Your free and
conscious will.-Gilbert Murray.

A Queer Fish.

A male fish which matches the young
OF its mate is the ChromiS paterfamil-
las. 1t is found in the lake of Liberals.
Palestine. Strange to say. this indus
trious fish matches its young in it's
mouth. When the female has spawned
in the sand the male approaches and
draws the eggs into his gills. where
they remain until Matched, when they
struggle out of their confinement into
the parents mouth. As many as 200
perfect young are sometimes found in
the mouth of an adult male .vHow the
fish manages to feed itself without
swallowing its young is amystery. The
grown fish is about seven inches long
and one and three-quarters wide Its
back is olive green, shot with blue, and
the belly is silver white. marked with
green and blue.

Laws of the Modes and Persians."
Among the ancients, the law OF the
Modes and Persians was regarded as
unalterable and irrevocable, hence the
expression has come to mean some
thing permanent. In the Bible the ex-

Is: Know, o king, that the law OF
the Modes and Persians is, that no de-
cree nor statute which the king es-
tablisheth may be changed"

LONDON, ENG. - In meeting the

ed that this was the eleventh vote
since the beginning of the war and The

In proposing the vote of credit Pre-

between April 1 and May 20, saving
the actual outlay during those fifty
days was $1,205, 100000.

Speaking of .oaus TO allies, he said:
without that financial assistance.
it is literally true that the confined
operations of tile allies could rot be
prosecuted with success and o@cien-
cy. The house would not grudge an
addition to expenditures in order that
the whole financial, naval and mill

work the success of our joint efforts
depends should be kept in a state of
efficiency"
The premier added he could hold
out no hope of any appreciate re-

One more example of the success
full management of lines and adjust
ment by means of new departures in
the garment-cutters' art may be stud
led in the coat pictured above. In the
new spring models cutters appear to
have thrown tradition to the winds,
but the coats Justify them in this in
dependence.
1t appears that the designers are
striving to achieve the required full
ness without making coats cumber-
some, and to give to the figure the cor
rect silhouette. In the model shown
here the back of the coat and top of
the sleeves appear to be cut in one
piece. The introduction of a pc
culiarly shaped underarm piece leads
one to think that this eccentricity of
cut is often made with an eye to its
decorative value as we'll as to the
hang of the garment. The fronts
are extended toward the back in a
curved line over the hips, and contrib
ute their share of the fullness about
the bottom of the coat. 1t hangs

trinity straight down the middle of the
front, it will be noticed. which is a
consummation devoutly to be wished
in the coat for spring.
This is one of many models in
black and white checks, more or less
large, usually more. Even in suits few
very small checks are shown. In them
and in coats the moderately large star
check seems to be best liked. The
wide pointed belt and oddly shaped
pockets give this design individuality
The collar and cuffs are gracefully
shaped and finished with panels of
black silk. In the collar one may see
how clearly the designer has taken
advantage of the small cape idea with
out copying it outright. In the buttons
used irregular white stripes appear
on a black background. They might
be effectively made of molds covered
with black silk with greater elegance
but less durability. Speaking of but
tons, many of them in coats and suits
are made of the same fabric as the gar
ment.
