Early iu the eighteenth century? that is, about 200 years ago?the streets of New York, according to John Fiske.were "gorgeous with costumes." writes Margaret Saugster iu Collier's Weekly. "Oue eminent citizen is tiescribed as clad in long-skirted coat and knee breeches of cinnamon cloth trimmed with silver lace; the coat is lined with sky-blue silk, the hose are of dove-colored silk and the shoes have largo silver buckles." This j gentleman adorned his head with an enormous wig; pictures of a similar wig elaborately curled we remember ! as woru by judges nud courtiers in ! the days of the Georges, and even earlier, in the Stuart days. His hat was a broad-brimmed beaver, fluished with a baud of gold lace, llis skirt was ruffled, his vest was of red satin, embroidered with gold. The ladies of that period were ex ceedingly line, and their raiment was as elegant, and as sumptuous as that worn by the dames and demoiselles oJ our present New York. Blue and silver gowns opened over petticoats o: black velvet trimmed with silver. : while their little feet were incased iu high-heeled shoes with huge rosettes In that leisurely time, when peoph lived in detached houses amid green fields, and for many u year afterward, down to perhaps thirty years ago, or forty, to he accurate, New Year's Day was the feto day of the year. Every Knickerbocker family of tho least pretensious Kept open uouse uu that day, aiul it was the rule?the thing imperatively required by good form?for the gentlemen to call on the ladies and wish theui the compliments of the season. There was a superstition about the lirst foot over the threshold, and people were immensely relieved if the earliest caller of the year were of a kind likely to bring luck t) the house. .Millions ami Mathematics. The grammar school boy was deep in some problem or other with his slato and pencil as assistants. "What is it?" inquired his father, interrupting his calculations. "I was figuring up a little," he replied, "on that one hundred and fifty millions of dollars Mr. Carnegie was to get for his property, and I find that ho could travel to the sun at the ordinary railroad rate of three cents a mile aud have a hundred and fortyseven millions left to invest up there; or he could go iu his private car at a dollar a mile aud have fifty-seven millions left to buy sun spots with; or ho could make thirty excursions there aud back on. ordinary trains; or he could make about five hundred ' trips to the moon and back; or ho , could cross the ocean a million times, 1 first-class; or go round the world a hundred thousand times; or bin* three thousand million car tickets; or he could buy fifteen thousand million i ? i .i.i I oue-ceiu Jjoniago siaiups; ur uu cuum 1 go to the theatre one hundred raillions of times, and sit in the front row; or he could tako fifty million girls; or he could eat lifteen hundred million plates of ice cream; or ho could go to three hundred million baseball games; or " "Hold up there," interrupted the father. "Hold up. Here's a dollar. Go on ont now and blow it for whatever you please, and I'll wager that Brother Carnegie would trade places with you if he could, aud give von sfuaething to boot besides."?New York Sun. v What One Woman Think*. No friends are better tbaa inakobelievo friends. The best blessiug a child can have is a good mother. A man most think a good deal of his wife to go with her to pick out u new spring bonnet. The gas bill is a light consideration, but it generally manages to cast a gloom over the household. Some people look at their own faults through a tele.'tcope; at others' through a microscope. If conductors were discharged every t'nie a threat is mado of reporting them, the curs would be at a standstill. The man who knows it all ought to apply for a position in the bureau of information of a railroad station. When a woman starts out to give a oiece of her mind she usually ends up by robbiug other people of their peace.?Philadelphia Times. Side View* on Lite. Practice sometimes makes a perfect nuisance. It jsu't so much what a mau has that makes him happy as what ho doesn't want. It is always better to be right than to be consistent. The average mau has a poor foundation when he stands on his dignity. There are three things the wise man keeps 011 good terras with?his wife, his stomach and his cousciencc.
