nents Of the world. He has Just
prepared one, for the elements Of
this 1886 eclipse. for Japan, to which
1t is Of particular interest.
DR.. Robertson Is an unromantic
man. One wouldn't suspect him Of
being on the staff Of the mischievous
god, Cupid. But actually he is the
keeper Of the leap years-Time's shep-
herd, who restraints them from wan
dering away In the star studded pas
lures of eternity, like lambs lost from
the f1ock-where q lovelorn maiden
never could find one when she
needed 1t.
It would be quite complicated job
to find q leap year once 1t strayed
away. Every fourth year is leap
year, Of coCrse-but four years is
long stretch for frail human mem
cries not vitally concerned with the

stars and planets within the fraction
Of second. He has already forecast
where any celestial body Of any con-
sequence In the daily affairs Of earth
dwellers win be at any time during
the coming year.
On the face Of IL, the job seems
rather prosaic. There is none of the
weird mist Of clairvoyance about it.
DR.. Robertson and his assistants are
prosaic men. They are astronomers
who never look at star, unless they
happen to be out-of-doors at night.
The job is one of unn1itigated, back
breaking labor. They are mostly too
weary to be out much at night.
Yet occasionally some of their pre-
dictions are startling in the extreme
suficiently so to have won them king
doms or have had them burned at the
stake as demons in less enlightened
days. Supposing. let US say, q peasant
Of one Of the fair cities Of On1sk or
Tomsk, In Siberia, should walk into
Dr. Robertson's ONCE in threatening
mood tomorrow. The astronomer

at checks, limitations, restrictions and
prohibitions and might go so far as to
renounce Santa Claus and scotch the
fable of the Easter rabbit.
The Republicans are going to do
most of the talking, for they are out

While the old parties make faces
at each other, q; trumpet call to pros

gold-rim bespectacled angel to rally
Americas sexagenarian populace to
overthrow those old parties and put

about 1t five or six years ago. The
Government Is planning to send an
expedition to Siberia to observe 1t.

"The Constitution consists largerly
of specific and limited grants of

of prohibitions, restrictions and

the sky will be partially black in the

A RTHUR vANDENBERG, foe Of

Frank Knox, who sees red when he

our times as the ultra modern fashion.
Hark to the words of one student of
the law Of fashion:
I'VE learn that the modern evening
dress coat owes its peculiarities to its
descent from the old-time everyday
garment in which a man rode and
worked.
"The cutting away of the waist had
once the reasonable purpose Of pre-
venting the coat skirts from getting
in the way Of riding, while the pair Of
useless buttons behind the waist are
also relics from the times when such
buttons really served the purpose Of
fastening these skirts behind; the
curiously cut collar keeps the now mis-
placed notches made to allow of its
being worn turned up or down"
The hunched backs of kings and
the stopped shoulders of queens have
in times Of yore caused the launching
Of new styles. The expert continues:
Certain striking features in vogue
at different times in the dress both
Of men and Of women have originated
in the lack Of bodily symmetry or in
other physical defects of in various
monarchs and other leaders Of
fashion"
THE "other leaders of fashion," as
far as the United States is con-
cerned, today have their headquarters
in Hollywood.
The pageant of dress In flickerland
today Is the Easter parade of tomor-
row. Paris is only the capital Of
France, no longer headquarters Of
fashion, and Patou is bankrupt. Schi-

1896 income will be seized by the tax
collector than was the case this year.
The destitute coiners Of $4,000, 900
per annuIn are going to be forced to
give up rs per cent of their 1885 bank
roll. A year ago 1t was only SO per
cent. To get away from the mildly
wealthy class, the makers Of only
$50, 900 will have to fork over 81 per
cent instead Of 80, as formerly. But
there is no boost for makers Of less
than $4,000.
The Republicans are also paying
Democratic taxes on malt sirlps, chew
ing gums, jewelry, toilet preparations
and inner tubes.
RUT the G.. o. P. will probably at

The sled they hope to coast to victory
on Is one with runners made Of the
Constitution.
