yearly augmented by heavy contributions
from the colleges and universities.
Of doctors the number in Chicago

Holiday Costume* nnd Customs of Our
(irandfather*.
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

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
