These coats are made In the regulation slip-on style, from an Integral piece of waterproof paper. Their production cost will be no higher than 5 cents each, and even that -figure can be lessened. The coat can be folded up to fit in an ordinary onvelope and is particularly adapted to being carried In handbags. The coats ^^^^kcan be made^ofr^olled^ pat^er^or parafgives the appeafance of sllkiness at a Wm short distance. The original idea was for the coats to be worn only once, ^ but, after a trial, It was demonstrated that they could be utilized successfully two or three times. The coats are reinforced where the buttons are sewed on and also where the button boles are cut. There are only two seams, both running underneath the arms and down the sides. These seams are cemented by ordinary glue. Oldest Man in London. The oldest man in London "sound as a pippin," is Captain David Jackson,. who recently celebrated his one hundred and fifth birthday by giving a lunchean to sixteen fellow inmates of the Tooting home, the youngest of whom was past seventy. He is an old-fashioned Bailor, and boasts that he sailed round the Horn forty times, that he was never on a steamship but once, and that once as a passenger. "Give me," says the centenarian, "a sailing ship with wood under my feet. Then I feel I'm on a ship and not on a tin kettle." Some Elevator. One of the elevators in the Hearts building carried a woman of ample size past the floor she had called. The obliging elevator man perceived his r mistake, quietly reversed his machine ' and landed the passenger at the right floor. "Well, now, whot do you know , about that!" exclaimed the woman as she trundled her way out of the car. tkia la firot elvrfltnr I pver tJUl C| 111 AO IO 1UW Ui u v wa^ ? ? ? saw that would go back without stopping" Friends of Workers. The Countess Markievicz, who lives In Dublin, is the descendant of a sedate old Irish family, but all of this generation seems to be anything else than sedate. She is interested in all the cults and isms of the day, and her sl6ter announces herself as the champion of "revolting barmaids." That, of course, would be the kind of a champion who would be out of a job in this country, where there are no barmaids, but no doubt she would find other rcvolters if she were to settle in the United States. * Earned $12 a Weak, Left $37,000.

The success of the Atlantic cable was due to the calculations and experiments o' the late Lord Kelvin, at that time plain William Thomson. He discovered that the current through a long cable would arrive gradually at the receiving end and devised the apparatus which rendered it possible to utilize such a current for making the Morse signals. It was through disre| gard of his theoretical predictions that j the first Atlantic en We. m ini?. was | ruined by t??c? powerful currents. Withi out his mirror galvanometer to translate into visible signals the delicate impulses received through the cable the enterprise would have been a comi plete failure. Healthful Sweden.

His general make-up proclaimed him tc be the desert prospector. He came to the months ago. Upon arriving he put up . at a well-known downtown hotel and as he handed a sack of specimens and his grip over to the clerk he remarked: Btay * couple 0 Wr days, an' I ain'l W pertlcler when you make mj bunk down, only Td kinder like tei be on the fust floor, case o* fire, yei know." Having been assured, he remarked to the clerk that he thought he would stroll around a bit He had scarcely reached the cross Ing before he was accosted by a mar who had been seated in the hotel lob by and who had been an interested listener to his conversation with th? clerk. "Excuse me," he said, "hut I have just learned of your arrival In the city, and knowing of your interest in mining affairs, through hearsay, 1 have taken the liberty of speaking tc you regarding ycnrr 'propositions.'" The bait was ample for our desert friend, and be forthwith began to de claim on the merits of bis prospects. "Well, yer see, my friend, me an' the boys hev some claims out by Canyon Springs, an' as our powder an1 grub is a-gittin' putty low, an' as al! o' them thought as I was the bestposted one In the bsnch, an' they all knew I was too smart to be taken in by any of them sure-thing fellers, why, they jest concluded to get together what capitul there was In the cami and giv It ter me, an* I was tole tc vamcme np here and git some more to help out durin* the winter, or mebbe sell a claim or two. So here I be, an1 if I kin find the capitulist, well, say, he's my huckleberry." "What's say? What hev we got Ha! Ha! Excuse me for laffln', stranger; I feel so tickled.

After he had signed a number of mysterious documents that had been presented to him by his new-found friend, and had partaken of numerous and divers lemonades (?) he managed to find his way back to the hotel, and as he edged up to the counter, he exclaimed to the clerk: "tj..* tKor norrf I tole ver I X Ut 11C1 mat, |/M. - r was a crackerjack.

And with a parting wave of the hand to the clerk, he managed to reach the elevator and was whisked to the "levels" above. I The embryo millionaire is still In town. I met him the other day.

The "sindicut" has not so far materialized, but notwithstanding his eye is not so bright rior his step so elastic, he still has faith in the visions of wealth that-are to be his, which are conjured in his mind by sundry promoters. Poor Management. "I made a humiliating mistake at j (he shore this summer." "What was that?" "I permitted a married man to re?cue me from drowning." "Pleased to Meet You."

Aconite Is classed by homeopathic authorities as the patriarch of drugs, as far as literature is concerned. It is told how Hercules went down to the lower regions and carried the three-headed hound Cerberus to the upper world. That ferocious beast was raging at this treatment, and the froth that fell to the ground was the origin of aconite, for it grew up from the froth as from seeds. It was on a bleak, windswept hill or mountain, and it is in such regions that the plant grows today. This hill, in Pontica, was known in olden days as 'Aconitos." Small Causes of Wars. The borrowing of a tobacco pipe and its retention caused civil war in the Pamirs and Afghanistan, while the stealing of a lace petticoat belonging to a lady of Castile by a Moor led to a long and bloody conflict. The war between Sweden and Poland, Which began in 1654, arose through a supposed slight. The king of Sweden suddenly discovered that in a certain diepatch his name and titles were followed by only two et ceteras, while the king of Poland was given three. The result, incredible as it may seem, was war. The Chronicler las cBly si per year
