The Soul of the Tailor. Tl.e soul of the craftsman can express Itself more fully nnd clearly In tailoring than In any other trade. If ■ the tailor's thoughts are poetic, he can Issue pastorals in colors that are charmingly suggestive of hillside or meadow, foliage or waving grain. He can make his overcoats speak of bleak December, his dress suits of frolic and i festivities, his frock coats of dignity uud wealth, his cutaways of self content and his sucks of strenuousness. and he can make his waistcoats jingle like limericks, his trousers sing of sun- ■ shine or cf rain and mud. his spring ( suits chortle of hope and joy uud his summer suits prattle of flowers. If he 1 <s an artist, be can make overcoat, uu I dercoat. waistcoat or trousers seem a I sensuous haze. a reverie In color, a j I riot of action or tt vigorous portrayal' of conflicting emotiotai in a decimated i i field of desolation, and If he Is a mu- ( sician lie can impart to his sartorial ( i creations an expression that suggests j I tile bleating of a lamb, the clashing of | cymbals, the rattat of a drum, the , ragtime movement of a cukewalk, the] wail of despair, the shout of triumph, 11 the roar of a lion er the bray of an ass.

H<>»< Their t’»e Impmuar.l n l.aily th* Firat Time She Naw Them. A lady who snw forks WK<d for the first time at a dinner of Henry HI. of France records her “impressions" of the occasion. Henry had In 1074 been tendi-red a magnitheut reception In Venice. At this entertainment forks were used. The royal guest observed them with much interest und Immediately introduced them to the French court. It seems from the account of the la dy. who had never used them before, that some others were in the same predicament. She writes; “They never touched the meat with their finders, but with forks, which they carried to their inouths, bending their necks nnd bodies over their plates. "There were several salads. These they ate with forks, for it Is not eon sidered proper to touch the food with the liligers. However difficult It may be to manage it. it Is thought better to put the little forked Instrument in the mouth than the fingers. “The artichokes, asparagus, peas nnd beaus were brought. It was n pleasure to watch tl vm try to eat these with their fork: f< r some, who were less adroit tl an the others, dropped as many on their plates and on the way to the mouth as they were able to get to their mouths. "After* aril a great silver basin and pitcher of water were brought, and the guests washed their bands, though It seems as if there would not lie much scent of meat and fcrease an them, for they had touched their food only with those forked instruments." the Mississippi. Immense Volume and Varying Msod. of Ils Yellow I-;<»,,<!. "The Mississippi river has an irre Bistilde attraction for a person of Im aginative mind, but perhaps its most fuipr-ssive characteristic Is the majesty with which its turbid, yellow tide sweeps along between the shores, impressive by its sullen murmur and Inspiring awe by its immense volume." Ban! a traveler. •*The river is sublime no matter when or where yon view it. und one has only to catch a glimpse of the yellow flood veiled by rain or glistening In the sun shine, to fall beneath its spell. At times the river moves so smoothly ami peacefully that you are almost lulled to sleep by the gentle purring of the water. that constant eddying and washing sound that is distinctive of the Mississippi. Then, again, the water will awiri angrily around a hidden snag or rush Ing with Impetuosity against the yielding bluffs It will eat into the earth, and tons of dirt will rumble down only to be absorbeil and swept away. Per haps fur a moment the water will as suine a chocolate color, but the Influx of yellow tide from above will soon dissipate every trace of what was once nn acre of cotton field. Sometimes there are trees growing along the shore that are engulfed. These fall with a crash into the flood, spin about for a moment and then drift slowly down with the current, their half drowned boughs ris ing at intervals from the water.”—Birmingham Age-Herald. Cnnld Tot Bi- Settled Oot nt Court. A good story Is told concerning » certain magistrate, who always endeavors to smooth over any little dlf ferences which may be brought before him. On the occasion in quostlon the war rant was one for technical assault, and It came oitf in the course of evidence that tl.e parties were neighbors nnd had been on the best of terms forsotnv yea rs. “It Is a great pity." said the judge "that old friends like you seem to have been should appear before me In such away. Surely this is a case which might be settled out of court." "It <nn't be done." answered ths plaintiff moodily. “I thought of that mysolf. but the cur won't fight.” Where Mun nnrt tj„ R Differ, “Pedigree in a dog makes fl.m valuable, doesn't It?” “Certainly.” "Funny, isn't It?” “What's funny?” "W by, it's my experience that pedi gree makes a man pretty darn neat wortbiess."-Chicago Post.
