Osear Slater, who murdered Me
Gilchrist in her Glasgow fiat, Prey-

Slater, and eaelx morning he chang-
ed hie linen, varied his neekwear
and dernaucled poliahed boots.
Similar exhibitions of strutting
peaeock vanity are not uneornz:non on
the Part of men doomed to die on the
gallows. Wainwright on the day pres
ceding hie execution absolutely re-
fused to dress because his *leen lin.
en had not arrived from, the laundry,
and a new shirt and collar had to be
'airtight for him. When, the evening
arrived -his last on earth -he craved
a smoke. A pipe and tobacco were
brought to hitt), but he rejected them
with disdain. He woeld have a•
cigar. And be got it.
Lefroy, who murdered poor old Ur.
Gold in a railway carriage oh the waf
to Brighton, wore an evening dress
suit during the whole of the period
that elapsed between his condennue
tion and his execution; aiso he was
greatly upset at the refusal of the
authorities to allow him to be hang-
ed in a new silk hat presented to
him in cond.
As a rt 1e however, the thoughts
of the condemned turn mostly to-
ward food. Rush, the Stansfield Hall
tnurderer, was an educated man. "I
want my slippers and The Times,"
were his first words on returning to
jail after his conviction. But a little
later he called for pen and paper
and wrote out an order for hie next
day's dinner, 'Pig and plenty of ap-
ple sauce."
In those days it WAS the custom
to give capital convicts whatever they
asked for in the way of food. But
the rule was abolished soon after-
ward, one of the first delinquents to
come under the new regulatiors. be-
ing a certain Jeffrey, who murdered
his six-year-old child by hanging
him in a cellar in Seven Dials. He
was unaware of the alteration and
milled for a roast duck directly he
entered the condemned cell. and
-when it was refused him be
behaved so violently that he had to
be put in a straitjackee.-Pearson's
Weekly.
The Genesis of the Cravat.
Cravats date from the incursion ot
the Croats into French territory dur-
ing the Thirty YearsWar. The
French termed there invaders •"Ora.
vates," and a freak of fashion made
Their somewhat clumsy neekgear
popular about 1636. The fancy must
have spread very rapidly; for we
find lace cravats with bread ends
hanging in front replacing the wide
collars of the cavaliers during the
earlier stages of the civil war in
England. Charles II. made white
cravats a part of the uniform of his
life and dragoon guards. The palmy
period of the cravat waa. early in the
eighteenth century, .wheu these arti.
eke were made of the very finest
lace and were so expensive that even
the richest of fashionable young
men could not afford to have more
than two of them in their wardrobes.

The Time to Seve.
As a general rule the question •whe-
tber a man's career is te spell sue-
ness or failure is settled between the
ages of thirty and forty-five.
If a man cannot attain prosperity
at forty his chances after that age
are remote.
At fifty the sensible man plays for
eafety rather than for high stakes,
for after that age not one man in
five thousand can recover his finan-
cial position if he should cotne a
cropper. •
At sixty 98 per cent. are either de-
pendent upon their daily earnings or
upon their relatives.
It is evident, therefore, that no
man should put off saving for old age
after has passed his fortieth hitt&
day.

In the case of the large thorn hea

Drawing Money In 'Paris.
If you present a letter of credit at
one of the great banks in Paris, like
the Credit Lyonnais, an usher in liv-
ery receives you in a splendid parlor
like the salon of a palace and bids
you be seated in a bumptuous chair.
Presently he brings you a check made
out for the amount' you demand for
your signature. A quarter of an hour
later be brings you the cash on a sli-
ver tray. You do not come in con-
tact with the clerieal force or see the
inner •workings at all. If. you wish
to earth a looal check .or gee a bill
changed you go to another waiting -
room, where an ember bends you a
brass disk with g number' &tamped
on it. As each nember is called by
a crier •the holder steels. to a.windowand transacts his butuness. As the
numbers are milled in French it ds
Quito essential to understand the lan-
guage to that extent anyway.
Birth' of Music.
There are manylegends concerning
the origin of music, but it.is iminpos
ble to say which is the oldest. By
the old Romans the god Mercury was
credited with the invention of music.
Acetording Apallodorus, the belief
was as follows: The Nile miter an
overflow left on the shore a dead tor-
toise, • Its flesh was finally dried up
by the hot sun, so that nothing re-
mained in the shell but the cartilages.
Which, being braced and ,contacted
by the heat, became sonorous. Mer-
cury, happening kr be walking that
way. and striking bis foot against the
shell, was so pleased with the sound
.produeed that, the idea of a lyre pre-
sented itself to his imagination. He
immediately eonstrueted the instru-
ment in the form of a tortoise and
strung it with the sinews Of' dead ani-
mals. And so music began.
Shaving Soap.
It is tommonly assumed that soap
is used in shaving for the purpose of
isoftening the hairs, but ;this is a mis-
take, cleclaree a . writer in a contem-
porary. It is used, on the. contrary,
to render them hard, stiff' and brittle,
in vvhich condition they best yield to
the rater. Hair being naturally oily,
were we to shave dry or with water
only, the razor would either slip over
the limp heir without cutting it or,
entering about half way, bend the
hair back and Oleg it, lengthwise, all
the while straining it most painfully
at thn roots, and as a razor would
elms slice and pall out probably
large number of hairs, at once the
ineonveniences and discomforts whieh
One experiences in shaving under the
existing conditions would be consider-
ably intenoilied.
