k Clothes Cycles.
T The cycle of clothes completes it- j
" self with a regularity almost as unvarying
as that of the seasons; but it .
takes years instead of months for the .
old fashions to recur, says the Phila- t
, delpkia Evening Ledger. When na- .
ture made a rose she looked upon it ,
and pronounced it good. She reproduces
it year after year in unvarying
fashion, but man is not content with
the cut of his coat for two seasons in
* s succession. This is why it takes so
long for the old fashions to reappear. ,
They have to be forgotten by the
mas6 before they can come back;
even in a form at ail suggestive of
their first estate.
Let us take the cutaway coat as a ,
^ type. Twenty-five or thirty years ago
every young man owned one. It was s
usually made of diagonal worsted and
the edges were hound with braid. s
The leneth of the tails and the nura- "J
b ber of buttons varied from season
to season, unchanged for several
years. Then it disappeared, though
y hot-house specimens were occasionally
seen. And the fashion of binding
men's coats with braid went with it.
But a year or two ago the cutaway
coat came back. The early examples
were rare as the first flowers of spring
that show themselves when the sun
i /*' begins to warm the sheltered places.
' But this year we are told that every
I man who wishes to be well dressed
must have one, and they are all braidbound,
after the manner of their predecessors
of the last century. They
> will be the predominating style in all
0*. the churches tomorrow and every
well-dressed man on the board-walk
at Atlantic City will be clad in a cut
away. The cycle has completed itself.
Xext season we may expect the
skin-tight trousers to appear, for
they completed the costume of the (
- ' - " ?* Jrr.Q
man or iEsnion in mat iai~uu uu^
when the newly recurring styles last
prevailed, and when the dandy, once
known as a fop and earlier called a
beau, was characterized as a "dude."
, Women's fashions recur also, and
some observers of the human comedy
are so bold as to insist that the wornen
give to their Easter hat almost as ;
braid-bound ciltaway coat. .

hey have shown great readiness tc

learly resembles Sanscrit, the founlation
tongue of all our western languages
which has held itself purest
n Indian sources."This
language they have wonder'ully
preserved in the face of overnastering
cultures and enternal wanlerings.
This has not been aceom)lished
by a literature or by a close

Oklahoman Horn in This State More
Than a Century Ago.
I John Henry Eiffert, native of Lex|
ington, this State, residing now at
| Webbers Falls. Oklahoma, is probably
the oldest of living Confederate
veterans, having been born in October,
1S1 4. more than 100 years ago.
Robert T. Hanks, of Oklahoma,
contributes to the Confederate Veteran
(Nashville) a sketch of the venerable
former Carolinian, as follows:
"As patriotic citizen, father, and
friend, there is not one more' worthy
of honorable mention, more highly j
esteemed, nor held in more veneration
by the community in which he
has lived since 1S69 than John Hen
l rv Eiffert, supposed to be the oldest
. living veteran in the State of Okla.
honia. He was born in Lexington.
. S. C.. October 1, 1814. In 1830 he
was conducting a merchandise business
in Mc.Minn and Bradley counties.
East Tennessee, on the Hiwassee
river, some 40 miles above Chattanooga.
Ten., when the 'Poor Los," or
Cherokees. were compelled by Uncle
Sam to take up their sad and enforced
march to the then wilderness in
the far West. In 184S he was married
to a Cherokee lady by blood, the
widow of Dr. Robert T. Hanks, who
[ was .Margaret Ann Ward Morgan, a
I daughter of Col. Gideon Morgan, who
. commanded the Cherokees in the bat
tie of the 'Horse Shoe' under Gen.
. Andrew Jackson, and a cousin of the
late Senator John T. Morgan, of Ala>
bama.
"Mr. Eiffert went to California dur;
ing the gold fever, but failed to cap,
ture any part of Dame Fortune's es.
tate and returned to his farm and
milling interests in Tennessee, where
; he remained until the tocsin of war
, sounded and the first gun echoed
. from Fort Sumter. Shouldering his
, old musket, he joined the second
; company raised in his town, under
? command of his son-in-law, Capt.
. Wellington W. McClelland, and was
. in the 29th Tennessee regiment under
. Gen. Zollicoffer, this brave officer
; falling early in the struggle. Afterwards
he followed the fortunes of
. war under Gen. Kirby Smith and later
. on was transferred to the quarter.
master's department at J\noxville,
. Tenn.. where he remained an active
. and efficient aid throughout all the
i thrilling and eventful years of the
i war.
"He was within reach of stray buli
lets during several bloody battles.
but fortunately escaped injury. He
i was under fire all day in the famous i
battle of Lookout Mountain, having I
been sent down the hill for supplies
i early in the morning, and the engagei
ment was on before he got back.
. Of this, in one of his reminiscent
. talks, he said: 'It was a moving picture
show that I had a free ticket to
: see. And when the curtain fell and
. audience and actors were to go, I
> did not stand on the order of my go>
ing, but went and have never cared
to visit Lookout since, not even at a
reunion.'
"Mr. Eiffert is one hundred years
and five months old and is able to
read the newspapers and keeps posted
on the European war. He is in
good health, goes regularly to his
meals, and helps about the house by
carrying in stove wood and making
fires."
, ed by the Macmillan company, says
the Boston Globe. Explained scientifically,
ethnocentricism indicates a
kind of expanded self-conceit very
much supplemented by superciliousness.
As the eccentrics of old time
believed everything was subordinated
to the earth, so our modern ethnocentrics
cling to. the idea that only
. their division of mankind has any
right to count. To have ethnocen,
tricism means to be convinced that
, only your set, community, State, na.
tion or race is at the top, and that
, from such exclusive elevation it is
. entitled to look down upon the world
at large.
Now, that would seem an abnormality
were we not assured by Prof.
Keller that ethnocentricism is "a specifically
human sentiment" common
to modern society everywhere, an.
cient and modern, civilized and savage.
There are plenty of primitive
, tribes still surviving who call themselves
" men." denying that title
, to all not of their own group. The
cultured Greeks regard races unable
to speak their language as barbarians,
and up to a few years ago it was
general in China to describe the incoming
whites as "foreign devils"?
an epithet which has not yet passed
away with the arrival of the derby
and the vanishing of the pigtail.
What have Europeans and Americans
to show in their own up-to-date countries?

! Kidney Trouble Causes
Intense Suffering
Sixteen years ago I was taken sick
with Kidney trouble and suffered
terribly for three months. I did not
work during this time and was mostly
confined to the bed. After using
other remedies I finally tried a bottle
of Swamp-Root. I immediately
began to feel better, and after using
seven fifty-cent botttes, was entirely
cured and have had no Kidney trouble
since. I can truly say that I
owe my good health to Swamp-Root.
I You may publish this letter for the
benefit of other people afflicted as I
was with the hope of bringing to
! their attention this most wonderful
remedy.
