FANCY WAISTCOATS.
tntrodjsed by an English Monarch by '
Way of Economy.
The waistcoat—when at least it is a
“fancy vest”—is the last remaining
ve*.:|;>f of the gorgeousness which was
i'*>» e displayed in men's dross, and on
U« t. 1.1. 1GGG. i’epys chronicles its first
flppenrance on the person of Charles
II. The novel garment was a “long
ra—iocU.'* as the diarist terms It. worn
«*loiM» to the body. It was of “black
pinked with white silk under it.”
M«mj will agree thnt the waistcoat Is
a convenient and commendable gar*
meiif. the absence of which would de
prive them, to speak of no other dis
comfort. of an Invaluable set of pock- j
eis. It appears strange, therefore, that
it should not have come Into being at '
un earlier date.
S«khi after the restoration a sleeve
less vest, which likewise left the waist
o|M*n. was worn under the doublet, it
was not a true waistcoat. This style
of dress was brought from France by
Charles II. From beneath the fullness
of shirt exposed by the open vest “the
breeches displayed their expanded
width." with bunches of ribbon at tbe
waist and lace ruffles below the knees.
The doublet worn over the vest was
richly laced and embroidered. So cost
ly was this mode of attire that the
king resolved to give the lead toward
a more economical and sober fashion,
and In the fulfillment of this design he
donned the new garment, which I'epys
hailed with pleasure.
Such were the circumstances which
attended the introduction of the waLst
eoat. It came in the name of economy
and reform, but ere loug it developed
into us expensive und decorative a gar
ment as any which man has ever tak
en to himself. Gradually it was ex
tended downward till it almost reached
the knees. It was made of tbe richest
materials, and the outer coat was
shaped to bang well open to display
its magnificence.
rairavipince ana jove or nnery were
dimply transferred from one style to
iinoilier, ami ou the wnlstcoat was lav
ished all the embellishment which pre
viously had been bestowed on the
breeches. Those flowered and em
broidered waistcoats of sheeny satin,
with laced flaps, may certainly buvo
been less troublesome and fantastic
than tbe preceding fashion, but wheth
er they reduced the wearer’s account
with his tailor is highly doubtful.
The long flapped waistcoat remained
In favor many years. It was still worn
Vy noblemen and gentlemen when
George I. was king. In the following
reign a somewhat shorter waistcoat
was prevalent, aud from this time the
flap began to decreaso lu length. In
stead of reaching almost to the kuee it
‘•nine only halfway down tbe thigh.
As men’s dress became more sitnpll
fled toward the close of the eighteenth
century and puffing, lace and embroid
ery were abandoned the flap disap
peared.—London Globe.
The Name "Pepye.”
How should "Pepys” be pronounced?
Percy Lubbock, who wrote n biogra
phy of Samuel Pepys. declares "Peeps.”
But there are many people living and
talking who call themselves “i’eppls.”
in 1079 was published a volume called
"Luclda Intervalla.” by James Car
casse, who was a clerk In the office of
Pepys. He did not like Pepys and
would have been glad to spell It
"Peeps.” But he didn’t. He wrote:
Get thee behind me, then; dumb devil
begone!
Th* Lord hath Ephthatha said to my
tongue.
Him 1 must praise who opened hath my
Ups.
Bent me from navy to the ark by Pepys.
From this the London Chronicle con
cludes that to his contemporary Pepys
was "Pips.”
Jo* Miller Was Not a Joker.
Joe Miller, who Is generally believed
to have been the soul of wit. never
made a single Joke in his life. He was
an actor and so grave in manner aH
to become the butt of other people's
hilarity. When any witticism weot
the round Miller whs accused of Its
authorship, and ho would never deny
It. He lived an exemplary life aud
died universally respected. But no
soouer was he dead than appeared
"Joe Miller’s Jests; or, Tbe Wits' Vade
Mecum,” compiled by "Elijah Jenkins,
—that is to say, forged by John
Mottley, the Jacobite, Just as years be
fore Hobson’s "Polly Peacbum” and
Ben Johnson’s "Jests” had been forged.
The Masculine Wig.
Civilization has to thank th© French
revolution and the subsequent wars
for masculine emancipation from the
wig. It was partly the scarcity of
flour and the war tax on hair powder
that banished the powdered wig. but
partly also the leveling influence of
Jacobinism. “I do not know the pres
ent generation by sight,” wrote Wal
pole In 1791, complaining that the
young men "In their dirty shirts and
shaggy hair have leveled nobility as
much as the nobility in France have.”
Hazel, aged seven, while feeding the
cat at the dinner tablo was reproved
by her father, who told her that the
eat must wait until later, whereupon
the small girl wept and said:
“I think it is a shame Just beenuse

Ph# Mmm as a •ehoat of Q»t4
Not long «<o I vlaltsd a bom*
where such exceptionally good hreed
f&g prevailed and such flue manners
were practised by ail the members
of the family that It made a great
Impression upon me.
This home Is the most remarkable
school of good manners, refinement
and culture generally I have ever
been la. The parents are bringing
np their children to practice their
best manners on dft occasions. They
fo not know what*'company manners
<r.ean.
The boys hare been taught to treat
their sisters with as much deference
as though they were stranger guests.
The politeness, courtesy and consid
eration which the members of this
family show toward one another are
most refreshing and beautiful. Coarse
ness, gruffness, lack of delicacy find
no place there.
Hotk boys and girls have been
trained from Infancy to make them
selves interesting aud to eotert«Jn
and try to make others happy.
The entire family make It a rule
10 ores* before uiuaer in the evening,
just as they would If special company
were expected.
i ftelr table manners ore especially
marked. At table every one is sup
posed to be at his best, not to bring
any grouch, or a long or sad face to It,
but to contribute his best thought,
his wittiest sayings, to the conver
sation. Every member of the family
is expected to do his best to make the
meal a really happy occasion. There
is a sort of rivalry to see who < an
be the most entertaining or contrib
ute the spiciest bits of conversa
tion. There is no indication of dys
pepsia in this family, because every
one is trained to laugh and be happy,
and laughter la a fatal enemy of in
digestion.
The etiquette of the tabic is also
strictly observed. Every member of
the family tries to do just the proper
thing and always to be mindful of
others’ rights. Kindness seems to be
practised for the joy of it, not for the
•ak* of creating a good luipresslofl
on friends or acquaintances. There
is in this home an air of peculiar re
finement which is very charming, ’iue
children arc early taught to greet
callers and guests cordially, heartily,
in real southern, hospitable fashion,
and to niako them feel that they are
very welcome. They nro taught to
make every one feel comfortable aud
at home, so that there will be no
senso of restraint.—(Orison Swott
Marden, In Success Magazine.)
The Silent Partner.
A novel kitchen Bliower for a bride
» to-be Ib contained in Woman's Home
Companion. "The InvitaMona were
•bilged to bo verbal, as they sug
gested contributions for the necessary
articles required for the Silent Part
ner, whose needs must l>e definitely
considered. '*?••* result proves no enc
of fun.
"The skeleton of mo Silent Pa*v
oer was found to be a new broom.
Tho bead, made of paper, was tied to
the top of the handle, with a natural
looking face drawn upon it with pen
and ink. Below the head. In the
place where shoulders aro expected tc
appear, a piece of lath about om
and one half feet long had been nail
ed to the broom-handle.
"Then with newspapers and twine a
fairly well-shaped body was made. To
each shoulder was fastened a pancak*
■hovel and fire-shovel, tin spoons foi
•Tins, and thews were covered with
♦ea-towels pinnej on in the form of
•ell sleeve*. The Silent Partner wore
a long gingham apron made with a
sib, and upon her head was a sweep
ing-cap. A cheese-cloth duster cov
ered her snoulders as a fichu and fas
tened in front with a cooky-cutter for
a 'sunburst.*
"Tea and coffee strainers were hung
from each side of the head for ear
rings. The dusting bag hung from
one arm, while in the pocket of th«
apron was a bar of soap and a dish
cloth. The apron-strings were brought
around in front and tied, while on
tho ends were fastened an egg-beater,
paring-knife and nutmeg-grater.
"Above her head arwl planed to th«
wall was 4 card bearing her name
No article for kitchen use was fargot
ten, all those not In sight being eta
ningly bestowed on tho person of tbs
BJlent Partner.”
For Cleaning Wall Paper.
To clean wall paper use the follow'
lug recipe: Ten cents’ worih of liquid
ammonia, ten cents’ worth of oil ui
sassafras, one teanpoonful (even foil)
of soda, two teaspoonfuls (ev*»n full)
of salt and one quart of cold water.
Mis the cold water with the ingredl
enta, then add while flour until it la
thick enough to drop from a spoon.
Put In a covered pall, set In a kettls
of boiling water, and cook until done,
stirring often. If It does not stick to
the hands when cool, It is done. Re*
move from the pail and divide into
"loaves,'» working each pieco a whlla
,*n the hand. Take out only what ia
needed, leaving the rest covered In
i the pail, to prevent the ammonia front
evaporating. Rub the wall with a
loaf, working the dirt into the dough.
Whan very dirty, exchange for a
clean loaf. This removes dirt and
greas# magically and leave# old pa*
Per as good as new when used care*

NEEDLESS WEARING OF ROADS
| if Automobile Traffic Would Spread,
Highways Wou'd Last Longer.
A country stmejrnr protests against
Hie habit which many motorists have
of doing tho majority of thdr driving
on the crown or center of the road.
This method of driving means that one
I>orilon of the road takes all the wear
and naturally, of course, gets worn
iuto ruts and ridges.
If the traffic would spread itself and
make all that portion of the road from
gutter to the top of the crown take n
share of the wear, road surfaces would
last much longer and would require
less frequent repair. In these days,
when roads are made almost flat, there
Is no excuse for this habit of clinging
to the crown, hut where roads are
made with a great deal of camber It
Is perhaps excusable, as driving on a
continuous slope la the reverse of

THE HUDSON RIVER.
It Ha* Been Known by at Laaat Twin*
ty Different Name*.
In tlic course of the past 400 years
the Hudson Ims been known by at j
least twenty different names, and even
today—In New York, at any rate—It la
indifferently referred lo both as the
Hudson and the North river.
While Henry Hudson Is universally
acclaimed as the discoverer of the no
ble river which bears Ids name. It Is
well known that nearly a century be
fore Hudson's successful exploration
John da Verrnrano. a l'loimtlne. en
tered the mouth of the Hudson and re
ported that he had passed up the river
about a league In a boat, not venturing
to sail his vessel, the Dauphlne. up a
river with which he was unfamiliar.
A sudden squall luipelhsl him to re
turn to his ship. Verrnzano railed the
Hudson “the river of steep hi 1 la.** This
was In ir»24. Some years Inter Yerra
r.ano'8 brother made a map of the Te
uton. and he named the mouth of the
Hudson "San Hernia no."
In ir»2o a Spaniard named Homer,
who came to America on an exploring
trip, made a chart upon which he des
ignated the Hudson as “San Antonio."
When some eighty years Inter Henry
Hudson In Ills efforts to reach the Hast
Indian possessions of the Dutch East
India company by n northwestern
route accidentally ran Into the Hudson
lie promptly dtihhed It the “Mnnhatles."
from the name of the Indians who
dwelt at Its month.
Hudson sailed slowly up the river ns
far as Albany, and his experiences
with tlie Indians and Ills observations
of the surrounding country were so
gratifying that lie returned home with
glowing reports of tho new found
country.
The Dutch at once real I Red that groat
commercial advantage might 1>« gained
In the new territory, and various com
panics were organized lo colonize and
exploit It.
ni Hiiu a enurior was granted to the
Now Netherlands company. mid lilt
liver wns there referred to iis "I>p III
vtere vnn dor Vnrst Mauritius" In hon
or of l’rluce Maurice of Orange.
In various other charters granted nt
this time ninl public documents In
which the river was mentioned It was
pokotj of as the "(jroote Riviere." tho
•'Noordt river.” the “River of the Man
hattims" ami the “Rio do Montague **
In addition to those names, the In
dians had a number of others for If.
imoug which may he mentioned "8a
imlatea.” “Shawnalawly." **Cahohata
lon” and "f’ohongorontus."
As late as ITftt the river was referred
to hy n French writer as the "River
Orange."
When tho Fngllsh took possession of
New Nctljorlnmls they |K>rsljtordly
'•ailed the river "Iludson’s river," and
