HISTORICAL HOSIERY. etocklncs Worn By the Men and Women of Long Ago. The reign of Edward III, which gave birth to the fanciful conceit of the Order of the Garter, has naturally set the authorities to woikon the matter of the appendages w ith which garters are generally associated. It is worth while to mention that such high authorities as S.r Eiias Ashmole. Sir Walter Scott and Sir Samuel Mayrck attach not the slightest importance to the story of the Countess of Salisbury and the king's apt remark. "Honl solt qui mal y pease," as he picked the garter up. It is to be remembered, too, that in this reigu and for long centuries afterward ho-e. and possibly garters, were worn by tne sterner sex. Camden, the his- toiiati. rays that Edward III gave forth his own garter as the signal for the battle of Cies v. But no indica tion of such an article occuis upon any monument or Illumination of the period, th-r? chausses or long hose being attached to the doublet, or at least ascending to the middle of the thigh, where they were met by the drawers. It is quite likely, however, that garters were worn by the ladies of the jrriod, whose hose were in shape pieciaely as stockings of the present dav. as may be seen from an ill ii m nation of the lime of Edward II. SAME AS TUE FLUNKIES NOW WEAR. Hut the orthodox hose or stockings proiier are su;roted to have been uu known in England before the middle of the Sixteenth century. A pair or long Spanish silk hose was presented as a gift to Edward VI by Sir Thos. Gres ham. and Howe savs that Henry VIII never wore any hose but euch as were made of t loth." In the Harleian library th-re is, however, preserved a record of fevt ral pairs of silk hose belonging to Ilemy III. it being even stated that he Lad also other rairs of satin and vel vet. The same document introduces us to the word "stocking" itself, and enligh'ens us as to its derivation. One of the entries run thus: "A yarde and a quailer of green velvet for stocks to a payr or hose tor the king's grace," anu numerous allusions occur to certain portions of stuff used for "stockyng of hose," so confounding the hose w ith the breeches and leaving the stocking an independent article of apparel as at the piescnt day. 1'revious to this it is quite clear that the word nose, in tne case of men, at least, means stockings and drAweis in one. Howe is the authority for the state ment that in the reign of lucen Mary the London appientices wote breeches and stockings of white broadcloth, that is, round slopps or breeches, and their stockings sewed up close thereto, as they were a 1 but of one piece. In the reigns cf Edward IV and Mary blue coats and vellovv stockings were the common habit of apprenticts and serv ing men, and the custom is retained by Loudon footmen and flunkies to day. But Elizabeth was the first English sovereign to wear genuine knitted stock ings, and as soon as the fashion had been iaaugurated the ladles went wild over it. It is expresslv stated in con temporary records that they were "not ashamed to wear hose of all kinds of changeable colois, as green, red. white, russet, tawney and else what not;" "commonly knit," too, and "curiously indented in every point with quirks. clocks. cn seams and everything else accordingly." It was M stress Montague who pre sented the queen with the first pair of black kn.t silk stockings, which pleased her so much that she would never wear any cloth inve a'terward. Soon after thi, fays Stow, William Iiider, then pprenlice to Thoxas Burdet, seeing a pair of knit worsted stockings at an llaiian merchant s, brought fiotn Man triu, hoi rowed them, and having made a d.i l.ke them, presented them to the Karl of Pembroke, which was the first pair of worsted stockings kolt in Eng land. Iu loCO, 'William Lee, master of arts nd fellow of t. John's College, Cam bridge, invented a stocking frame. Tra dition attributes the origin of his in vention to a pique he had taken against atownswoman with whom he was In love and who neglected his passion. She got her livelihood by knitting stockings. and to depreciate htr employment he constructed this frame and instructed bis brother and other relatives how to work it. The other stocking makers coml med and drove him from the country, so that at List Le died at Paris of a broken In art. Fiom and after this period the cover ing for the nether extremities of men is always divided into trunk hose, or breeche-i, and nether stocks, or stock ings. Sime distinction was evidently necessary, for the breeches of men were worn of such enormous size in this and the succeeding reign cf James I that their cost was sometimes as high as JLTiO a pair, a fortune iu those days. TnE ITUST CLACK SILK SrOCKLSJOS. In the reign of James I the stock ings were gartered beneath the knee, and the garters fastened in a large bow or rosette on one side. The loose Gallic "bo-en" were still worn and fastened to the doublet or jacket by innumerable "point." Silk, worsted and thread stockings were now almost universally worn, and cloth or woolen stockings considered unfashionable. In the year 1058 the petticoat breeches for men made their appearance in Eng land, nnd the fashion was introduced from France of wealing large stiri up bo;e or stockings two yards wide at the top. with i olnts through several eyelet boies by which they were made fast to the fttico.it breeches. The fashion went out in li e reign of W illiain III, and the stockings were then drawn over the breeches lo the middle of the thigh. In the reign of Anne the vests were lengthened to meet the stockings and entirely conceal the breeches, the stock ings being of blue or scarlet silk, with gold or silver clocks. Scarlet stockings were worn by fashionable belles, wbo also indulged iu the practice of snuff taking. Mrs. Pamer, the eccentric and cele brated sculptor or the days of George III, is said to have been the first fern e wbo wore black Bilk stockings Id Eng land. Ladies wore white stockings, even in mourning, as late as the year 1S7. and white stockings are worn by two-thirds of the English women of all classes to-day. the cost and trouble of washing notwithstanding. The bare limbed lassies of Scotland and 1 1 eland have attracted the eye of every American tourist. In the former case the custom which pie vails chiefly In the rural districts, is largely dictated by the practice prevalent among Scotch women of washing heavy articles by treading them in a tub with tteir feet, and perhaps, also, for convenience of fording the burns or brooks In the mountainous sections. As to the Irish 'colleen," stockings have been deemed a superfluity for a century past, as every contemporary historian Las taken spec ial pains to record. They might have added that the average Irish lassie, stockings or no stockings. Is the most virtuous girl on the face of the earth.

Skntsch Ielivera an Oration In German. i " The veterans of the Eighth Battalion, District of Columbia volunteers, deco rated the araves of their fallen com rades in Prospect Iliil Cemetery yes terday. They marched from Loch- beehler'a .Park In a body, ana u. Stutsch. of the Journal, delivered the address ia German. The conclusion of his oration was a follows: Xow that all nature is again in ver dure clad; that fields and forests, gar dens and groves, appear again rejuven atd In the garb of lovely spring; now that new Lie has sprung forth where the icy breath of winter bad held all animation suspended, we find our selves, in the midst of all these eviden ces of life and health, here, at the home of peace, of seclusion, and of eternal rest, to look back upon the dead past. We have assembled to-day to pay our tribute of love and devotion to those who are past all earthly sorrow and trouble, who have teturned to that bourne whence, as the poet says, "no traveler ever returned." This oar tribute, this homage Is paid to those who, in patriotic devotion to tXe country or their choice, the country which most closely approached their ideal of a laud of liberty, took up their arms for its maintenance as such, wbo helped to fight its battles and to win its glorious victories, until they themselves have passed over to that great army beyond, whose silent, endless legions our minds cannot conceive. War's noisy activity has long since ceased: those who we e once arrayed iu sanguine warfare against each other have long since returned to the calm occupations or peace; over the piaves of dear friends the hands of the men of theorthand the South Lave long since grasped tach other In fraternal spirit, and iu common they are now striving to contribute to a common country's greatness and prosperity. - It Is not in aspliit of hatred, therefore, that we are here united to-day we would but recall anew lovingly to our memories thoughts.of the dear departed and of the duties which they, as our ex amples, have left us as a heritage. Of these duties we adopted citizens are reminded by every last re-ting place upou this hallowed spot a silent admo nition of the de.nl to the living, that we should be true to them and to our selves. Mot upon the field of honor alone are there duties to perform ior the patriotic citizen, theie are also duties which claim our obedience in the calm pur suit of peaceful development. it only should our own welfaie claim our exertion and attention, but theie are common interests which must be pre served. ir the German element of this coun try does not wish to expose itself to the well-grounded charge that It places material success above all other aims and objects of human existence, then it will have to devote itself to those duties in the future in a greater degree than it has done heretofore. But it will then also Gnd that it is much easier to prevent unjust and oj pressive legis lation by attacking the evil at its roo's than to avoid the consequences of such legislation when it has once assumed leg id force. In nine great Stales of this union no Governor, no Legislature, could be elected If they should be unfriendly disposed towaid the just claims of the German element, if it would but assert its ichereut power and political strength. Xo mau could be elevated to the otlice of President of the Luite-1 States by one or the other of the two great parties of our land who should bear upon his brow the Cam s mark of knowuothing- Lsm. The principle of political equality. upon which our eutlre S) stem of gov ernment rests, places into the bauds of every one by far the mo-t powerful weapon ot sei:-de ei.se mau s Ingenuity ever created the elective franchise. Has the German clement properly ap preciated this weapon, has it done jus tice to its resiionsibil ty as an import ant, integral part of this free nation? A glance at the political s.tuation of to-day will show it. I -it us look be yond the narrow confines of the place where we, an insignificantly small ior tion of that element, comprising mil lions of the inhabitants of this Union. are assembled to do honor to our dead. the heroes oi the L uion. Let our eyes wander to yonder stately dome uuder whose massive colonnades are enthroned not only the legislative power of this country, but aL-o the highest judicial tribunal which passes iu Judgment upon the deciees of those legislative bodies. We find that this German element, one-seventh of the entire population of the Union, is neither represented upon that judicial tribunal imr In the Senate of the United States by but a single voice. We li nl that among the hundreds of Itepresentatives fiom all paits of this great land in the National House of Kei resentatives hardlv a fiftieth pait speaks as th mother tongue those sounds so welcome to our ears and heaits. Cau there be valid reasons, in a system of government based upon thy broalesl loun-.lations of uuiver-al equality, for such disproportionate rep resentation ot iopular elements claim ing common rights? Such a supposition would 1 hardly justifiable. 'I here is not a city or any extent in this countiy where men of German origin do not hold pb.ces of honor among the fore most memlic rs of the legal frateniitv. There are not many portions of this great lai.d in which men of German descent have not made their way to the iront ranks or c.tizeuslnp by their great personal qualnications.by their brilliant successes upon the fields of Industry. commerce, the arts and sciences, or by ineir success in caring for public inter ests or by their philanthropy. Can it be, nevertheless, a lack of interest iu the common welfare, or ill-becoming modesty which relegates the best rep resentatives of the German element to the darkness or the political back ground? Why this seclusion from the public ami political life of this nation n the part of the German element. this almost imperceptible representa tion in those fields in w hich its own in terests should lie preserved and pro- lecieu : Surely, it is an evidence that the Ger man has completely disappeared in the citizenship of his new fatherland, not- wiiiis-aiming an rrls Uerman songs, all his German cu-toms and habits, a 1 his iieculiarities anj his language. It is an evidence that the Germaneleuient, while rapiuiy acquiring political "najority.has nevertheless learned to subordinate iu self to iolltical divisions, to pass out of sight within these political divisions, obedient to the advice of the German priuce of ioets, Schiller: canst thou not be complete within tnyseu Serve as a link to that which Is com pleter Truly, it were better for the tterTr.,,, element, as we I as for the fortunes of mis nation, would it but chow less party realty and more independence in thought in the political life surrounding ill it would not then be placed, in of the country.U fore the alternative of navmg us youtii compelled to emnlov. even In acquiring a rudimentary educa- r.on,'.!ie.ug.i-h language in preference or to the exclusion of the language of men nuuiea. ii wouia not be asked in another part,to accept and respect laws wnicn onginaieu in tne narrow mimt. or fanatics laws, which, at best, are " cyucujciai auu problematical. it would not be asked to give Us approval to narrow restrictions ot tha Ire ham. an right of migration by erecting bar riers against any nationality by means of unjust immigration laws feathered by unworthy clasvspirit and nourished upon the breast of antiquated preju dicen Every nation upon the earth at all worthy of a place In the world's his tory has produced men worthy of the admiration of their time and of pos terity, men worthy to serve as shining examples for all time to come.

Lofty principles and ideas, auch as those laid down In the American Declaration of Indeind ence, lose nothing of their beauty when reproduced in another language. In the endless realm of thought and mind there are no national barriers, and woe unto the people who would subordinate to material considerations their highest, their spiritual interest 1 Bat we are assembled to-day only to show our lasting respect and devotion for thoss citizens of German origin who, in the nation's hour of need, offered their lives to save that of the Union. More than they did no patriot or any country could ever undertake to do. Tde sacrifice of one's whole existetce for the welfare of others, or for the common welfare, is pictured to us in poetry and history, In fairy taie ana in historical tradition, as the incarnate re alization of ideal unselfishness and mental greatness. Popu'ar life among all nations upholds such ideals in its heroes, and the popular voice soon weaves around their impersonations a halo of supernatur.il and mysterious qualities. The history of our own war is still too recent to admit of such a glorifica tion of its heroes and soldiers. But, when in future times popular tradition shall sing a thousand songs in telling of the deeds of our brave, then will not be forgotten those two simple sous ot the German soil who lie buried beneath these mounds. They fell not in those great fights, those battles, of which the history of this land will tell coming generations in the far distant future. The thunder of a thousand death deal ing cannons did not lull them Into that sleep from which there Is no awaken ing. Only the gently murmuring falls of the quiet Potomac were witnesses of i heir devotion, meir naeiity to auiy. But softly murmuring waves carried the news along upon their journey to the sea; they told their story to the mighty waves of the restless, endless ocean, and upon the crests or its wild waves the tale was carried further and fur ther until it reached the shady shore of the German Fatherland, and told there of its faithful sons, who, far, far awav. had died for their new country and for the starry flag which they had sworn to protect. Whether it was accident or destiny that the first defenders of the seat of our Government, who should fall al most within its sight, should have been Germans should have been adopted sons of the laud will their noble ex ample not ever be an admonition for the American people that their 1 berty is destined to be the heritage of the oppressed of all nations? The courageous gladiators of ancient Home, when entering the aiena, were wont to exclaim before their ruler: "We, who are about to die. we greet thee, imeraloi!" 15ut we, as we p.irt from this last resting place of those who have victoriously ended their earthly battle, we art from them say ing: "We who return anew to the bat tles and duties f life, we greet you, sons of liberty Kest in Peace!"

Politeness in the Home Circle. True politeness is founded on con sideration for others, yet it is eo much a matter of form or habit, that polite ness is sometimes sIiotd where there is no consideration; it is sometimes ne glected where there is affection and every reason for kind consideration. Thus, iu the intercourse of near rela tives made familiar with each other bv daily meetings there is natnrally less formslity tLan between tieople who are only thrown together by chance for a few hours or days at long intervals. But along with the laying anide of for mality, some necessary features of k liteness are sometimes hacriticed by relatives and very close friends. The youth who is careful to salute his lady friends and acquaintances according to the usages of good society sometimes forgets to pay the same resjieet to hi sister, nut becaus i he is wanting in af fectionate regard, but because he has grown so familiar with her thatit seems awkward to him to treat her in any formal way. Yet when he meets her in company he should, out of his consid eration for her, be markedly polite and attentive. Although politeness nec essarily follows to a grout extent set forms, it should have its origin in affec tion for the individual, or, in a general wy consideration for others. When the young man bei is to lehave at home with less politeness than he ei- hibiti abroad, there is much danger that gradually he will lose that consid eration for his immediate relatives which he should have and exhibit. He may begin by entering the family room without iormal greeting; almorlied in his own thoughts or pursuits, he will soon begin to leave his sister and bis mother to bok fur themselves in thu smaller afTuirs of life, and gradually but surely lie will cultivate a selfish disposi tion in home affairs that will make him a bad or indifferent son or brother. It is a small matter in itself whether a young man finds a chair for his sister or mother when they would lie seated, anticipates their de.sire for a glass of water, cheerfully helps them to their wraps, nnd offers them the thousand little attentions without which and in his absence, they could get along very well by their own exertions, but it in not a smnll matter when neglect of such attentions lessens his considera tion for them, develops his selfishness, and gradually undermines the affection that should nuito the family. Polite ness in society lnrtwcen acquaintances or friends is demanded by custom. There is no need to i einiiid readers that it should be exhibited. Polite ness at home and between near relative s even between husband and wife.though of much more importance in every way is not so obviously neoessarv, and is too often neglected. Gentlemen of what are known as the "old school" were and are scrupulous in the observ ance of the forms of jxilite society to ward their wives and other female re latives, and in the home circle, but the latter generation seems disposed to treat relatives with lefs formality and respect than is habitually ehown to strangers and acquaintances. The ten dency 6hould be resisted, however, and every encouragement given in the home circle to an observance of the rules of polite society, modified only by a spontaneous exhibition of that greater affection which exists between the members of a family group. Bal timore Sun. Dr. A'orman Kerr, of England, w ho has written an exhaustive treatise upon the abuses of narcotics or nervines, says that be has met women addicted to alcohol who would drink three bot tles of brandy a day and that a bottle a day is by no means an uncommon quantity to become habituated to. He says: "Both tea and coffee are used in excess. I found a patient insensible In her room one day who had drank noth ing but tea; she had consumed a pound C Utt ta t&l W To measure water roughly in an open stream, take from four to twelve differ ent points in a straight line across the stream, and measure the depth at each of these iKiint.", and adding them to gether d.vide by the number of measurement tukru. This quotient will give you the average depth, which should be measured In feet. Multiply this average depth In feet by the width In feet, and this will give yon the square feet of cross section of the stream. Mul tiply this by the velocity of the stream in feet per minute, and you w ill have the cubic feet per minute ot the stream. The velocity of the stream can be found by laying off 100 feet on the bank and then throwing a board into the stream at the middle, note the time passing over the 100 feet and di viding the 100 feet by the time and multiply by C) gives the velocity bi feet per minute at the surface. The eloclty at the centre is only 83 per cent of that at the surface; and so only 83 per cent should be calculated, l-'or. example, suppose the float passes l'-O feet iu 1" seconds, that divided by 10 and multiplied by 0) (seconds In the minute) gives G X) feet per minute as the velocity, and 83 per cent of this givei 4K3 feet per minute as the velocity of the stream at the centre, and the area of the cross section multiplied by this will give you number of cubic feet per minute in the stream. This, of course, is ouly a rough way of calculating, but it Is often used, and is a good and simple way to obtain data to select a wheel by. In commenting on the giaut strides which electricity is now making, Prof. Klisha Gray established the fact that a greater advance has been made in the last 20 years than in all the 0,000 LIstoric years preceding. More Is discovered in one day now than In a thousand years of the middle, ages. Electricity now carries our messages, drives our en gines, rings our door bell, scares the burglar and supplements, w here it does not supersede, the stethescoie in the diagnosis of diseases. Its applications are daily entering more and more into our domestic life, and day by day be coming more bewildering in their mar velous adaptability and jet we are only on the threshold.

The num ber of resident consumptives ia In creasing from year to year, and It Is reare I that tuberculosa microbes, im lorted by foreign health seekers, have poisoned the air, gradually making the Kiviera a phtgue spot. Twenty or the best me lical authorities of the district recently held a meeting in San Iterno to consider measures by which the spread of consumption can be pre vented. Dr. Iticardi. a leading phys ician In San Kr-nio, presided, and re ported on the high death rate among the natives. The meeting at first proposeJ a reso'utlon warning con sumptives against visiting au Itemo and Mentone, a the air was filli d w ith microbes liable to hasten disease. Ti e Mayor of San Kcrno, however, opjosed the passage of this resolution, inas much as such a warning would ruin the business of the two places as health resorts.
