THE DOMING ULSTER.

Tfc is with pleasure that we announce a •hftnsrd and an improvement, in tbe summer uls*Ti-, nnJ ifc heightens that pleasure to realise that a Petroiter is fche man whose memory is to stand second to that of Wash'nsfcon.' We all remember la3fc summer's nW-er. It had some good features, but it did'nfc fill the bill. It did very well for railroad travel and picnics, and ifc was a pretty good thing to cover old -lothos, bufc everybody knew that something better could he invented out of whole cloth. The ulster for tbe coming summer speaks Por itself on sight. Tfc can be worn with tails or without. The tails can be lowered by means of hinges to draeT on tn " walk > or >h"y can be raised and slewed around to form extra pockets for holding four clean shirts apiece. The collar is fitted with a rubber tube to hold any sort of drink fitted 'o the occasion. A quarfc of ham cider -an be earned to a Sunday school picnic, and =lvly imbibed at the convenience of }^ c wearer without anyone being the wiser, ill the man has to do is to turn his he.ad to tha left, slip an amber mouth into bis jaws, and slowly get away with his ton 1C > while he seems to be lost in amazement a.t the wonders of nature. The ulster as a whole is a life-preserver, and when blown; up will sustain the weight of three sehoolma'ams'and a lecturer from Japan. If occasion requires, it can be quickly converted into a water-proof tent capable of sheltering a small family. The right hand pocket is sheet-ironed for use asa kettle in which to make tea or boil eggs, and tbe leffc hand is a sort of refrigerator in which to store perishable goods. Each sleeve is provided with a secret pocket for the benefit of those who want to get. four aces into a poker band, and a sheath for a bowie knife is stitched into tbe bock in tbe most secure manner. Folded one way the ulster forms a jibsail, and can be attached to any boat in five minutes. Folded the other way you have a stretcher on which to carry off tho fat woman who fell from a tree and broke her leg. It is tbe ne pfas ulster. It combines good looks wifch a right-smart of convenience. Ithides a hump between tho shoulders, covers up a stoop, and a man is made to appear as graceful as an antelope. There are seven different spots on'which to scratch matches, three flaps on which to wipe the nose, and a Texas steer may play with tbe wearer all day and not be able to spoil tbe set of garments. Send in your orders before the rush begins.—Detroit Free Press.
