How the Sizes Vary in Different Sec tions of the United States. A hatter had Just finished selling a hat to an Irishman. "The Irish,” he said, “have heads of a graceful shape; long and oval, and very large. The American has a head shaped very much like the Irish man’s only it is smaller and slightly rounder. "The German has a square head, flat on top and very wide between the ears. A German's hat always looks too big for him. It looks so be cause it is so. In order that it may encompass the head's great breadth it must be bought a little too loose in its other dimensions. Some Germans, who are particular, have their hats made to order on this account. "I sell hats all over the Unted States, and I find that heads run big ger West than anywhere else. The Chicago man has the biggest head in America. The Southerner has the smallest. We Easterners—Philadel phians, New Yorkers and Bostonians —all have heads about the same size. That size is on the average 7, The Westerner’s size is 714. The South erner’s is 6—Philadelphia Record. GREAT POWER OF TO-DAY. Symbol Means as Much, Though Not Waving Over Armed Men. "I never see the letters S. P. Q. R." observed the professor of history thoughtfully, “without feeling a little thrill of what they once meant to the world. Wherever they were borne over the eagles of the Roman legions the people recoginized their masters and paid tribute. There is no em blem of absolute control in the world to-day corresponding to it.” Just then one of the big oil tank Wagons, bearing on its sides the fa miliar legend, “Standard Oil Com pany,” came around the corner, at the sight of which the good professor looked as if he would like to modify his last statement. Search for Wrecks In Lake Huron. One of the most thoroughly organ ized hunts for lost treasure ever at tempted on the great lakes is to be made on Lake Huron, where the Mil waukee Wrecking Company is pre paring to search for the hulks of ves sels. Represetatives of the company have chartered the tug Phoenix of Oscoda, and, with another vessel to aid her, will seek wealth among the wrecks dotting the lake bottom six or seven miles off the shore. One of the most valuable cargoes is one of copper lost in the early days of lake navigation. Another is of steel in gots, and still another is a cargo of whisky, lost in a schooner bound for Mackinaw many years ago. The Mil waukee concern secured the copper cargo of the steamer Pewabic, off Alpena, after it had been in the water nearly forty years. — Chicago Inter Ocean. New York’s Tall Buildings.

Fond of Milk. Bishop Coleman, of Delaware, takes a long walking trip every summer. Usually he goes alone, but on one occasion several gentlemen accom pained him. The party toured the White Mountains. On an August af ternoon they stopped, very warm and thirsty, at a farmhouse and bought several quarts of milk. Even now, though, they were unsatified, so the farmer’s wife fetched from the spring house no less than three gallons of milk in a pail. Setting this before them, she said: “One would think, gentlemen, that you had never been weaned.”—Detroit News-Tribune. Puts Comfort Before Looks. Secretary of War Root is a firm be liever in the idea that a soldier should look the soldier when engaged in mili tary work, but he also realizes that in very hot weather some measure of smart appearance must give way to comfort, so he has practically said: “Bother your uniforms; dress as you please.” Indeed, he "fias set the ex ample for his burean chiefs at the war department by stripping off coat and waistcoat and making himself as nearly comfortable as possible in a becoming colored shirt waist. Probably Knew the Widow. Visits of consolation are not by any means pleasant, and there is no class of men in the world who know it better than ministers of the gospel. They try to be comforting, but it is not always they say just the right thing. “Did the minister say some thing comforting?” asked the neigh bor of a West Philadelphia widow re cently bereaved. “Indeed, he did not,” was the quick reply. “He said my husband was better off.” A Midget Fireman. The smallest volunteer fireman in the world is Leopold Kahn, of White Plains, N. Y., proprietor of a large hotel there. For years Kahn traveled over the world as Admiral Dot.

He recently edited the Bible carefully before it was allowed to be used much in Turkey, and he has just suppressed a book on chemistry be cause it contained the awful symbol H20. He said that it was highly rev olutionary and that beyond a doubt H20 was the cipher for “Hamid II is naught.” Ostentation. “You say that man’s relations won’t speak to him?” said the surveyor who had stopped at the log cabin. “Yes. An’ it serves him right. Jes’ as soon as he come into a little property he bought hisself a glass eye an’ a set o’ false teeth, an’ his kin’ reckoned it was mighty ill-mannered to come around puttin’ on style an’ wearin’ all that jewelry.” ■ Would Kill Sparrows. The London board of agriculture advocates diminishing the number of house sparrows. It has been found by hundreds of examinations that from 75 to 80 per cent of the food of the adult birds throughout the year consists of cultivated grain. The ag gregate total taken when the spar rows are unchecked is very large. Florida Gains Congressman.
