J. M CHILES.
Roughly speaking, the average Eng­
lishman is pretty certain to nuik - one or
two remarks when he gets up in the
murniug. If the sporung iuaiinct ui
strong in him--and it is m must Lng-
liahmeu—he exclaims: “Let’s go und
kill suinetUmg.” But, if he is aminated
by a desire to set the world right, he
soliloquizes thus with himscK; “Go
to, uow;
let us start a reform
movement.” Next, perhaps to killing
something, the Engliahman most loves
to compel a lot of othei people to be
good, or at 1-. 3*» »».Iter ’.han they were
before, according* to hia way of think­
ing. It makes no difference that the
people he seta ont to reform may not
be such a Lad Mort—that, on lhe w itole,
they measure up fairly well to
lhe standard
of average worth
and respectability. They do some-
thing,
or
perhaps
only
think
something, that the reformer ha* de-
cided imi't not und shall not. be dour
or thought. So he starts a movement,
with himself as kwier, ex lab i is iiea a
propaganda, forms a society w ith u
name us long as the moral law, and
then goes up hill and dow n dale making
converts. The number of movements
that blossom out in England every year
into societies, with paid officials and
¡ortentous reporta of good work done,
is past computation. Many of them, it
is true, arc closely related to the for­
ward movement of humanity, and are
deserving of all the support they re­
ceive, but others are purely fantastic
and visionary, like the “Society for Pro-
lesting Against the Evil of Using the
Right Hand in Preference to the lx»ft,
ns Contrary to Scripture and Common
Sense.” But, however visionary such
societies are, they all get support and
make numerous disciple«.
Here, for instance, i* Lon! Ronald
Gower, a somewhat well-known figure
in the social and aristocratic world of
London, coming forw ard with a brand-
new movement of abolishing the “plug”
hat, on the ground that it is a “most
uncomfortable and hideous headgear,
worthy of a scarecrow, but not of a
human being.” The*e be swelling
words, and it may be true worths, but
what are they going to amount to?
Does lx>rd Ronald Gower seriously ex-
jjcct to convert tin» Anglo-Saxon race
from the “plug” hat. habit? If so, he
isnursinguchimera of the most chimer­
ical kind. Even the Grand Old Man
himself wouldn’t succeed in sudh a
crusade. For, mark you, the “plug”
hat is strong in its very weakness, and
sits securely on the head of the Eng-
lush-speaking race, not because it is
the ideal hat, but because it isn’t. It
is uncomfui table, says this lordly re­
former. Of course it is, and therefore
th«* average Engl .«liman will wear it
and nothing else when he is dressed up
and on public parade. If he wants to
lx* comfortable he p*ws horn«- «nd get»
into his dressing gown and slip’ rrs.
T'fact that the “plug" hat is unuoin-
lorta'le is the best possible evidence
that it must I m * good form. And when
a thing is good form, what more can you
aak?
But. continues the critic, the “plug”
hat is hideous The word "hideous” is.
, erlia:a iittJe strong; “ugly” would
be n 'u* r the truth. If,however. Lord
Ikmahl Cower thinks that the i rrlish

PIECE OF A MAMMOTH.
A Valuable Relic In the Smith
eoulau Institution.
IAaa af Buaineaa Kutlrely Separate

cial Workmen for th«
Trad a.
The latitude which may be ebserved
now in the dress of the clergy of all
denominations is one among the many
I signs of the mtxlern liberal tendencies.
At present it seems to be almost wholly
u question of personal taste as to
whether or not a minister when not
in the pulpit shall wear distinctly cler­
ical clothes.
Years ago, when th?
lines between the differeut sects were
much more sharply drawn, it would
have been considered a remarkable de­
parture, significant of its immediate
conversion to Anglicanism or even to
Romanism, for a Baptist, Methodist or
Presbyterian minister to don th.* regu­
lation dress of the Episcopal clergy.
Now the wearers of th«* cassock vest,
the clerical frock coat with its standing
collar, and the round linen collar open­
ing nt the back, are to ta counted
among pastors of all denominations.
At a Methodist conference held in the
spring several of the men present were
dressed in extreme clerical style. A
leading tailor in Broadway «aid the
other day that he made the Episcopal
garb for a great many Presbyterian
ministers. The climax of novelty scema
to have been reached w hen a Unitarian
clergymnn appears in full clericals.
The gentlenian in question goes so far
as to wear the Roman turn-drw n collar,
with the “rabbi” or bib like attach­
ment of cloth in front, ii s’, id of the
plain, single band of the A» gl’can style.
Put there is an opposite side to the
matter.
While ministers in general
are practically free now to adopt the
distinctive “uniform" if they desire,
they are also quite at liberty to wear
clothes exactly similar to those of any
ord narv citizen, of whatever color or
cut may ruit their fancy. Ib’ne * it has*
come about that tta old-time I’rir.c. \1
bert cont und white tie, which iLsed to
ta the certain signs of the evangelical
preachers a few years ugo, arc uow
comparatively seldom seen.
Those
which still exist ar? confined ch'cfly to
the older n.en, w!v> find it l.crd to «•
part from kf^Jong convert ■?: . and tc
country p;istors, among v !mn changi *>
• ii fashion are long in making thei
selves felt. If a minister to-day docs
not choose to adoj t the Epi: c q: il dre* s
lie usually wears an ordinary suit, mak­
ing no attempt at any half-way dis­
tinction.
Even in the Episcopal e!*urc!i there
are some clergymen, tliom.h they are
decidedly in the minority as yet, who
prefer not to be known tu; sacby thei:
clothes. When engaged in any outdoor
pastime in the country they t tit on n|>-
propriate costumes, such us bicycle or
golf suit;, or light flannel:-. It is the
opinion of clergyin« n wh.-v dislike the
“uniform" idea that they lose influ­
ence with a large class of people by
placing themselves apart, and, as it
were, advertising their profession.
Those v ! o favor tlx cler'ca! dress c iu-
tend. on the other hand, that t lie minis­
try is a ¡»rofeusion which ought to b<
distinguished from all others, and ta-
lieve that tin* significant costume goe?
far toward claiming the respect of th«
genera! public.
The changes in th? dress of clergy­
men W’ben in the pulpit have been leri
marked. In the Roman Catholic nnd
Episcopal churches the preacher is ab­
solutely required to wear a certain
prescrita'd garb.
This for Episco­
palian« consists of the long, black cas­
sock. ino«lerately tight-fitting under­
neath, und the white surplice «bovr
The stole, a long silk or satin land,
symbolizing the yoke of th«* poq« I, i*
worn over both shoulders, the <* ii <I f
falling down in front. In the Presby­
terian church the wearing of tin* black
Geneva rown is optional, but. judging
from what the makers of th« «• articles
say, the use of them is ctrfainh i <»t on
the dm eaxe. Th»* gown worn by Luth­
eran preachers differs slightly in cut
from the Geneva ¡»attern, but taara a
g« neral resemblance to it.
Baptist
clergymen do not ordinarily w«x«r
gowns when preaching, but when an
immendon is to take [»lace a garment
called a baptismal gown is put on. The
demand for the«? appears to be fully os
strong as ever.
The biisine«« of manufacturing cler­
ical clothing and vestments is one en­
tirely sc; «rate from ordinary tailoring.
Some clothing establishment« and cus­
tom tailor«, it is true, do a good deal
of this kind of work, but «[ teal men
have to ta employed for it, and it be­
comes a department by itself. In addi­
tion to these there are arxeral houses
in this city which exist solely for the
clerical trade, and make no other kirxl
of clothing. N. Y Tim?«.
LEAVE THEIR
NIGHTGOWNS.
Dr. Dall, of the Smithsonian institu­
tion, during his recent visit to Alaska
secured a natural history specimen that
was a prixe indeed. It was a bit of mam­
moth fat, from the actual adipose tissue
of an animal that had been dead for tens
of thousands of years.
Bodies of mammoths in a fresh state
have been dug up from time to time in
arctie Siberia, preserved in uatural cold
storage since a period probably ante­
dating the first appearance of man on
the earth. That is an old story; but
this is the first known instance in which
the soft parts of a beast of this species
have been found on the American conti­
nent. It is easy to imagine the scien­
tific interest attaching to the discovery.
Ages ago this mammoth died, under
such circumstances that his corpus was
buried in mud. At about that time
there was a great and permanent
change in the temperature of circum­
polar regions. The climate had been
subtropical; it suddenly became frigid.
The mammoths v^ere literally “frozen
out,’* the last of the sfiecir« perishing of
cold. This particular individual, frozen
in a bunk of clay, had every prospect of
“keeping” for an indefinite period.
Hundreds of centuries later a stream
flowing through au Aiuskan valley
tackled the clay l»ank referred to and
l»egan to cut it away. At length some
big bones stuck out, and a native of ex­
ceptional courage dug out one or two
of them. This required more of that
quality know n in civilised countries as
“nerva” than might be imagined, for
strange monsters, however long they
may have t>een dead, are regarded with
superstitious awe by savages.
However, the natives finally sum­
moned courage enough to drag the re­
mains of the mammoth out of the clay
bank piecemeal The body of the ani­
mal had been preserved so well that a
f airly perfect cast of it was found in the
matrix. A quantity of fat, which over­
lay the intestines, was obtained and was
used for greasing boats. l)r. Dall se­
cured a piece of it, and fetched it back
to Washington for an exhibit.
In the. office of Osteologist Frederic
A. Lucas, at the National museum, is a
mammoth’s molar tooth, to which an
odd story is attached. It was got from a
spring at Paso Verde, in the country of
the Papago Indians. Ever so many cen­
turies ago a mammoth in its dying ag­
onies sought that spring for water and
fell into it, too weak to climb out. Then*
its bone« remain to this day, and the
Indians lieiieve tliat, if they were re­
moved, the spring would dry up. Of
course, such an event in that region
means the destruction of a village.
Mastodon bone«, of course, arc fre­
quently dug up in the United States
The. mastodon was a kind of elephant,
but it did not belong to the genus Ele-
ph&s. The mammoth did not belong to
that genus, lieirig known to modern
science as elephas primi-genus. It
often hapjiens that farmers plow up the
osseous remains of mastodons, particu­
larly in reclaimed swamps, w here an­
ciently the gigantic beasts became
mired and died from sheer helplessness
to get out. The tusks are commonly
found so far decomposed that the ivory
crumbles between the fingers.
The first mastodon ever dug up was
found in 1 ft 13. The remains of these ani­
mals are by no means confined to the
United States; they are discovered all
over the world. They are much thicker
set than the modern elephant. The
lower jawbone of a full grown speci­
men weighs nearly 100 pounds. The
first mastodon bones that were «lug up
were sup|>oHcd to be tho*<* of giants of
an earlier ejxx h —Washington Star.
