STYLES IN CHINA.
Six Timos q Year Clothing Changes as
 if by Siena4.

Six Tin10S q Year Clothing changes AS
 if by Siena!.
 The Chinese are nothing if net con servative in the matter of dress. 1t Is the custom in China, as if by direct or der, to change regularly the style of dress. It appears that there are no less than six distinct changes of attire that every self respecting Chinese of any importance must make, according to the season-heavy furs in the depth of winter, then light furs, then wadded garments, then lined clothes, unlined and finally what the Chinese them selves call summer clothes" made of China grass. These are in white and blue.
 The Chinese wear caps made Oi plaited bamboo, lightly covered with silk. In the height of summer none but officials wear caps. There are or dinary black covered lined caps, and there are fur trimmed hats and fur caps.
 Foreigners have been particularly struck by the fact that on the same day and throughout the vast country stretching over nearly as many degrees of latitude as America men change from one cap to another, from one stylC of clothing to another. as though by signal.
 Occidental tailOrs have q good word for Chinese clothes. They aver that the Celestial cut for jackets is ''per feet" so far as convenience goes, and in the opinion of many they are pecull arly elegant.-San Francisco Chronicle

 It is a tradition among watchmakers that the first clock that ill any way resembled those now i'll use w'ts made by Henry Wick in 1870. He made 1t Tor Charles V. of France, who has been called "Tfe Wise
 Charles was wise in a good many ways. He was wise enough to recover from England most of the land which Edward III. had conquered, and he did a good many other things which bene- flied France But his early education had been somewhat neglected Still, he had a reputation for wisdom. and |. thought that it was necessary, in order to keep it up, that he shoul3 also be supposed to possess book learning. The latter was a subject he was extremely touchy about.
 So the story runs in this fashion:
 "Yes, the clock works well, said Charles, "but," being anxious to find some fault with thing he did not un- derstand, you have the figures on the dial wrong"
 "Wherein. your maie>ty?" asked Vick.
 ''That four should he four ones. saiJ the king.

Origin of Foxes Book of Martyrs."


 Foxes "Book of Martyrs" was pub- llshed in March, l652, as the "ActeS and Monuments of the martyrs, a title borrowed from an earlier book says the London Chronicle. The ia nous volume might never have ap- peared at all but for the association of Foxe with the printer Day of Alders- gate street. in whose business FOxe took an active part. On the tomb- stone of Day in the church of Little Bradley, Suffolk, the partnership Is thus immOrtalized:
 He ct a Fox to writ how martyrs runne By death to lyfe. Fox venturod paynes
 and health
 To give them light. Daye spent in print
 his wealth.
 Even in those days the alien prob lem troubled industry, for we find Foxe appealing to Cecil to relax the law and permit his friend Day to en- gage more than four foreign printers.
