In one of the big stares the other after -loan a stoop shouldered man -with a faded "faro v, n beard-was clawing over the hats and trying them on, one after an other, -withont appearing to find any to fif him. ""What size are you looking for?" ask ed one of the salesmen. ""What size!" he said. "Something kin -wear, I reckon." "Of course, but "what's your num ber?" "Icon don't number a rnnn, -when he comes in here to buy a hat, do your" ''Certainly not. I mean -what's the number of the" 'iDon't yous'pose Pll know-when 1 come to a hat that fits me? I ain't no spring chicken, young man. I've bought hats 'fore this. Xou go on waltin on customers. I'll find -what I'm lookin fur after awhile. I've got plenty of time. " "So hare X Time is nothing to me. I can stand here all day and -watch you trying on hats, but it isn't necessary. If you can tell me -what size of hat you wear. I can give you half a dozen of that size to try on. It -will save you some trouble, and won't be quite so hard on the assortment. " The customer reflected. "WelL that's reasonable," he said. "Young man, I might as -well tell you the truth. I've clean forgot the size hat I -wear. I never can remember it. I know I wear a !Nb. 9 shoe, though. A 2io. 9 hat would be about the right thing, wouldn't it?" Chicago Tribune The Crtrar, the reasaat and the Cadi. Once upon a time the villager went to the cadi and complained : "O wise man, I would be protected against the crow. Out of every five frills of corn I plant he digs up at least one. " "Take a chair and I will inquire in to the matter, " replied the cadi, and having sent for the crow he inquired: "Is it true that you rob this villager of his newly planted corn?" "I have taken of his corn, O cadi, " replied the crow, "but instead of com plaining he ought to feel grateful. " "How's that?" ""Why, by reducing his crop one-fifth I have reduced his labors in the same proportion." "That's pretty good philosophy," said the cadi as he picked the grass out of his venerable goatee, "and I will ad vise the villager to act on it. Let him bring out his gun and shoot one crow out of every five and his corn will no longer be disturbed:" Moral.

' 'You fight your way through the 2few Guinea forests; you are in daily peril of your life ; you open up a new country, and yet ycu are not a made man until you are attacked by a wretched newspa per," she cried. "That is the standpoint of the people who sell books, so you may depend upon its being ihe standpoint of the people who buy books, " said he. 1 can quite believe it," said she. "Mr. Geraint, the novrlist, took me down to dinner last night, and he told me the only thing that will make people buy books is seeing the author's portrait in some of the illustrated papers, or hearing from some of the interviews which are published regarding him that he never could take sugar with his cof fee. The reviews of his books are only read by his brother anther?, and they never buy a book, Mr. Geraint says, but the interviews are read bv the genuine book buyers." "Phyllis of Philisda." Thcc-ht Be Ixst His Head. A few days since a gentleman, while taking a ride with his groom, had the misfortune to have himself and com panion thrown violently to the ground by his horse faking fright and running away. The gentleman was not seriously injured, his principal less being that of his wig, which had been shaken off, but he found Pat in a much worse con dition, with the blood "trickling from his head and holding his master's wig, which he was surveying with the ut most alarm and horror. "Well, Pat," said his master, "are you much hurt?" "Hurt is it? Oh, master, do you see the top of my head in my hand?" Pat in his terror and confusion had mistaken his master's wig for his own natural scalp, and evidently thought that his last hour had arrived. London Telegraph. Known by Hia "Walk. A tutor of one of the Oxford colleges who limped in his walk was some years ago accosted bya well known politician, who asked him if he was not the chap lain of the college at such a time, nam ing the year. The doctor said he was. The interrogator observed, "I knew you by your limp. " "Well, " said the dec tor, "it seemed my limping made a deeper impression than my preaching. " "Ah, doctor," was the reply, with ready wit, "it is the highest compli ment we can pay a minister to say that he is known by his walk rather than by his conversation. " St. Louis Star.

A journal at Madrid tries to increase its circulation by printing its news, not on paper, but on cloth. Instead of ink a composition is used which readily dissolves in a liberal water bath.

Nowadays all that is required to get married is a "he" and a "she" and the necessary license. Any one authorized by law can splice them without a ques tion as to who or what they arc, wheth er they possess anything or by what means they intend to support themselves or their children. That is the exact sit uation. These matters are none of the officiating medium's business, nor is he in a position to hinder the couple, some times hardly cut of their teens, from rushing straight into trouble and misery. In times gone by things were alto gether different and more care was tak en, tsut then one mav ;-o too far in his care far the well uelne: of hvmencal candidates, as the following narrative shall demonstrate. In order to allay possible apprehen sions on the part cf our fair readers about the fate cf the hero and heroine, and to save them the trouble to begin this little story cf love and its trials at the end, let it be understood right here that in spite of seemingly insurmounta ble difficulties they reach the matrimo nial haven in safety. Our tale begins cn a balmy morning in May, ITS , such a May morning as is seldom seen anywhere outside cf the Rhine valleys in the Black forest. The young and fair hostess of the rn-n of the Front Room the famous and most popular hostelry in the ancient ducal borough cf E , was seated alone in the guestroom. Her plump figure was becomingly attired in a gown of navy blue, profusely braided and em broidered according to the fashion cf the day, over which she were a black silk arrcn. The graceful outlines of her bust showed to perfection in a velvet waist hung with silver chains, and on a. sable beside her reposed a magnificent lace cap. No doubt the hostess sat there wait ing for some one and had so elaborately bedecked herself to please the expected caller. Mistress Lisbeth this was her name was in a brown study. She was pondering- Her reverie led her thoughts back to the events of the previous vear the sudden death of her husband from phthisis shortly after their wedding, leaving her sole owner of the prosperous, much frequented inn; the improving of their opportunity by many making open or covert proposals for her hand and for the wealth whose possessor she so unexpectedly had become. Though a widow, Lisbeth was still young and very fair to look upon, and almost all the eligible young men of B had done their best to capture her heart, hand and money, and had failed alike in alL The truth was that she had alreadv lost her heart. About sis months ago the playfellow of her youth, Francois, the sou of neighbors in her native vil lage across the Alsatian border, had come to B and found employment in a butcher shop. The two had again met, and though, under the circum stances, it cannot be termed love at first sight, it may have, just the same, been something very like it. At any rate they loved and had agreed to get married as soon as the year cf mourning was over, and this was the eventful day set for making ap plication at the city hall to have the banns published. At last a creaking of the door hinges roused Lisbeth from her reverie, and the impatiently looked for lover made his appearance. But his countenance was not wreathed in smiles neither did he look like an expectant bridegroom whose dearest wish is about to be real ized. He frowned, and, angrily throw ing his new beaver hat on the floor, took a distant seat without the nleasant words of greeting she always used to hear from his lips. L- fh felt deeply hurt, but said Finally the young man, as if ashamed of his ill mannered behavior, exclaim ed in a fitful tone; "Oh, Lisbeth, we can never marry!" "2so? And, pray, why not?" she asked. "Are you tired of me?" "Tired of you, Lisbeth? You know better than that. But haven't you heard the news? The council refuses to grant me citizen's rights and the marriage li cense, xney are rail ox animosity to ward you for refusing to wed one erf their sons and far giving me, whom they are pleased to call a stranger and a vagabond, the preference. It is true I am an Alsatian, but I have as good a home as any of thtm, and it is but a couple of hours away from here, as they well know." "So that is it?" The resolute Lisbeth jumped up excit edly, her lovely face crimson as a June rose. "Cornel Let us to the city hall aS I once. "We will see about it. ZZ every thing else fails, I think my godfather, the abbot of E- , will mid awavts make them pliable." The worthy burgomaster of B and the members of his council were assem bled at the city hall when Lisbeth ap peared, dragging her bashful Francois forcibly by the fr?rnd into their august presence. "With your permission, mighty sirs, " she began m her open, unhesitating way, poking him in the ribs as a gen tle reminder that he looked sheepish, vithyour permission, powerful mas ters, we appear before you to inform you that we intend to marry, and, what is mere, to marry as soon as possible; wherefore we mcst humblvand dutiful ly pray the high and mighty council ti grant us the necessarv papers, and tc be quick about it, fcr we have no desire to wait any longer than absolutely necessary. My homestead needs a mas ter, as you all know. The by my side, a bachelor of gocd repute and law abiding, is mv choice, and i better fitted for the position of host at the inn of the Front Room than any one else I know. He is a butcher by traae, young and strcng, and, what ii mere, his brother across the border, ovet in Alsace, owes him 1,000 guilderi Rhenish," jpart cf their father's estate, which h& can collect in rash at any mo ment. "Therefore. I can see. neither le- gaily near morally, anything to be said against my Francois, and I well whj ! make many words? I love him, and 1 want him!" A silence fell upon the assembled city fathers after this strange speech of the plucky little widow. At last the worthy btrgomaster, a member cf the worshipful Tanners' guild, broke the awkward pause, after deliberately help ing himself to a plentiful supply of snuff from a silver tabatiere a present of "his most great and all powerful mightiness" the reigning prince of the land and passing the box to his col leagues. "Highly honored friends and col leagues, and thou, honored and virtu ous Mistress Lisbeth, thy desire is full of the Christian spirit of neighborly love and according to the laws of the land; in fact, it is reasonable yea, more than that, it is necessary. Thou speak est truly. Thy establishment is sorely in need of a master's strcng arm, and thou ueedest a husband But is it abso lutely necessary that it should be a stranger? Are there no young men in our town, sons of our worthy citizens, who are as fit to rule the destinies of the inn of the Front Room, and thine own as well, and who are but too will ing to have thee fcr their lawful wife! Explain, worthy Mistress Lisbeth. why dost thou run after this tramp? Be ad vised by us. Marrv one of cur voun2 men.' But shouldst thou remain stub born and wilt not be guided by our fa therly care for thy welfare, the conse quences be on thy head, for I tell thee herewith, in the name of the citizens alL we dislike and disapprove of thy choice. "The inn has for long generations been in possession of men who were citi zens of our borough, and thus it shall remain. Even thyself art but a stran ger, having gained the inn by marriage. Hence it is but just that nobody but the son of cne of cur citizens should again own it, and thou art herewith forbidden to marry yon vagabond. Collectively and individually, this council formally protests against it, mid declines thy pe tition. That ends it. " Commendatory words rewarded the burgomaster at the end of this lucid ex patiation, and the prince's snufiboa again made the round of the council ta ble. Lisbeth's ire had risen fast during this insulting speech. She began an an gry remonstrance, but was quickly and considerately drawn toward the dooi and pushed out into the corridor by the city r.essenger (who was thoughtful ol many a free drink at her bar) before she had a chance to further injure her cause by angry expostulations. 2Tot so Francois, the unfortunate groom, who had been terribly wrought up by the expressions of "tramp" and "vagabond" hurled at hfm. He sudden ly sprang forward, stopped short in front of the burgomaster, and, shaking his fist in his face, exclaimed: "And I say, ycu high and mighty citizens of B , I'll marry her in spite of you and all your thick headed and crooked legged sons!" The cityfathers looked aghast at such impudence.'' The burgomaster threw his snuffbox with such force on the table that the dust rose in clouds from the official documents. 'Wretch V cried he. " Wflt thou hold thy tongue, thou ill mannered Alsatian cur, thou vagabond? Immediately go and pay a fine of 1 guilder Rhenish into the city treasury for thy unparalleled insult offered to our citizens, and if thcu tarriest here anv lonzer I will have thee put into the dungeon and tor tured until thou wilt show better man ners." This delivery was followed by gener al applause. Francois paid his fine and left, while the prince's snuffbox once more went from hand to hand. On the Saturday following the nar rated events a cabriolet and pair, driven by Francois, stopped infront of the lion of the Front Boom. Lisbeth, dressed in her best Sunday finery, appeared, smil ing gocd humoredly, and took her seat in the vehicle, which started off at s brisk trot. But the trip did not remain a secret. Somehow or other pretty soon everybody seemed to know that iQsrress Lisbeth had gone to see her godfather, the abbot, to ask his interference in her and her lover's behalf. However, the great council was wide awake and up to the emergency. As early as 1 o'clock the same afternoon the city hall bell called all the citizens, more than 100 men, together in a mn.a; meeting. The burgomaster presided. In a few concise words he explained the great danger that threatened all landed citi zens of B by Mistress Lisbeth's treasonable plan, n-nd the impression he made was so pronounced that before the princely box had made three rounds among the members of the council the following petition was drawn up to the government at D : "Petition, Remonstrance and Protest: a "We, the bailiff, the burgomaster, the great and the lower councils, also the entire citizenship of the ever loyal city of B , herewith beg to state as follower It is known to your high and mighty government that about a year ago the proprietor of the inn of the Front Boom had suddenly died without the help or assistance of our city and county physicians. (Recnuescatmrjacei) the childless: widow hg had the audaci ty to fall in love with a goodfor noth ing tramp and vagabond, an Alsatian, named Francois, a low bred, ill man nered butcher, and she actually hr dared to ask our permission for a mar riage with the fellow. All of which, if it pleases your high and mighty govern ment, is against the interests of rhic city, where there are just 17 young and marriageable sans af landed citizens, every one of whom is ready and mare than willing to be the husband of the aforesaid widow. "We, therefore, deem it our duty to lay before your high, no ble and mighty government and the learned and all powerful, wise and highly respected councilors thU unwar ranted, treasonable and unbecoming pro ceeding on the part of the said widow, and humbly ask you to interfere to send the tramp Francois back to Alsace and thus restore the peace and good will to this city. j "We subscribe ourselves, with undy- ing loyalty, as your high and mighty government's humble servants." j A kind fate has kept the original of i the above petition intact among the archives of the "ever loyal" city, giving proof of the sagacity, care and unselfish -neM'oTifs citizens and council. After the bulky document had been dispatched quiet was restored in the borough, and the good citizens congre gated once more, as usual, in the guest room of the inn, where shrewd Mistress Lisbeth had ordered a "Metzelsuppe" of gigantic proportions to be served dur ing her absence, which every one bur gomaster and council not excepted en joyed so hugely that on the following morning when his worship tried to help himself to a pinch of snuff he had to send to the inn for the princely box, having left it there the night before from sheer forge tfulness, of course. It would make interesting and profit able reading for jurists how the "high- and all powerful" government atD disposed of the knotty question. To our sorrowand regret we have to disappoint them, for history has not handed down this important decision. And the resolute Lisbeth and her Francois? How did thev manase to en ter the blissful conjugal haven? We doubt not the abbot, her godfa ther, was a shrewd man, who knew a thing or two. Xbt far from the abbot's cloister, encircled by the silverv waters of the beautiful Rhine, there is located ! in the peaceful seclusion of the upper Black forest country, but in Swiss terri tory, a small onym for conclusion, and many a lovesick couple, having vainly tried to overcome the obstacles inter posed by parents or suardians. has taken refuge at the sheltering altar cf its church, where many marriages have been solemnized that otherwise could not have taken place. To this church the abbot sent his god child, and there she and Francois were made one, while the gcod citizens of B were indnlsing too freelv in the "Metzelsuppe." All this is made evident by the entry in the books of the city treasury of P , stating that on July 1, ITS , Francois , a butcher and nronrietor of the inn of the Front Room, and his lawful wife, Lisbeth, had been fined 5 guilders Rhenish for getting married at the Church of without having nrst secured the consent of the council cf B , their legal abode. From the French. A Gladstone Interview. An English paper tells an story about an interview that the corre spondent of an obscure provincial paper once said he had had with Mr. Glad stone. On a certain evening the corre spondent was seated on the stairs lead ing from the peers' gallerv, when Mr. Gladstone happened to come down stairs unobserved by him. As the correspond ent blocked the wav the Grand Old Man said to him politely, "Will you kindly let me pass?" The question at once suggested a brilliant idea to the newspaper man. He rushed to the tele graph office and sent this dispatch to his paper: "I had a somewhat brief but profoundly interesting conversation with Mr. Gladstone last evening, meeting the right honorable gentleman in the lob by,'' etc Mr. Gladstone never denied the authenticity of the half column of conversation that followed. Electrical Dentistry. Electricity is now employed by den tists in extracting teeth. To the battery are attached wires. Two of them have handles at the end, while the third is attached to the forceps. The electricity is turned on suddenly, and the dentist simultaneously applies Lis forceps to the tooth. The instant the tooth is touched it as well as the surrounding parts be comes insensible to pain. A jerk and it is QKt Popular Science News. The Pitman and' the Ear Tram pet. A pitman entering a public house in Newcastle, where an old mn -was seat ed near the fire, accosted him with the customary salutation of "Gude morn in." The old man, however, paid no attention, and the pitman repeated his salute in a louder voice. This time his lungs had effect. The old -mnq raised himself up, and taking from a capa cious pocket a trumpet of peculiar con traction put it to his ear. Our honest pitman stood amazed, but after waiting with the most anxious expectation for some moments while no sound came, he exclaimed, with a disappointed air: "Nay, man, it winna dea. Thou canna play wT thy lug. "Household Words. Cnrioslty Satisfied. The following is told of an old lady who had had her hair cutoff in a severe illness and wore a wig in its place: She was staying "in a continental hotel and one day noticed a gentleman looking cu riously at her hair. Soon after, on some excuse, he crossed the room to behind where she sat. She calmly got up, turn ed round, and lifting her hfr from her head said, "Yes, sir; it is a wig.' New York Post.

Four or five rears arro I stormed fcr the night at a little teahouse far up in the mountains cf Japan. 2Jbwhere were to be seen any railroads, European cast off clothing cr other "nicdern improve ments," and in a walk through the vil lage after a dinner cf rice and fish I was led to believe that at last a spot had been found where things were to be as they always had been. But on returning to the village last summer there stood at the door a little maiden with a de lightful smile of rejoicing, as she proud ly showed in one hand an unmistakable nickel plated American ;tl?irm clock and in the other an unbroken tin foiled stick of chewing gnr:i. "Verily our civiliza tion had arrived. The next day, how ever, in a village even more remote, a still greater surprise awaited me, for displayed prominently cn a KFnV wall, with an admiring crowd about it, was a veritable poster, and a few more days showed that this innovation in art, if it maybe so called, was common and high ly popular. Every teahouse had its se ries, and all the shops in the bazaars were full cf them, and wherever a poster was in sight an admiring throng was sure to be seen. A newstvle cf drawinc seemed to go hand in hand with the new idea, and even an understanding of our perspective was appreciable. ' Jap anese War Pesters, " ly D. P. IL Cock ling, in Century.

The well dressed young w email had taken her transfer slip and crammed it into her card case absentmindediy.

Pracrioil observers rxperieBccti in the working cf belting have generally cca clnded that a belt of 2 inches width and of single thickness, running on a puHey 8 inches in diameter, represents about as near a perfect belt transmission it is possible to get with oak tanned leather belting. This may seem, it is thought, rather a favorable condition fur a belt of such dimension to work under, has as far as the pliability of the belt is con cerned, it is assumed that there would be no objection to the curvature of eight inches, and as fcr the width, one inch and a half niignt be considered quite narrow and thiee inches in width some what wide. It is argued, however, that if the oak tanned .material will endure all this bending action while under a high speed and drawn up taut enough so show well when power is to be trans mitted, then it must be expected that a pulley 16 inches in diameter, when pro vided with a double thick belt of 4 inch es width, must give equal satisfaction. 2sew York Sun.
