a Faithful Cashier.

AN official life of thirty-four years In
one position, says the correspondent of
the Hartford Times, was closed few
days ago by the death of William Duer
Robinson, cashier of the New Y DIRK
Custom House. For fifteen years at
least the reputation of the Custom
House has been VIGOROUSLY bad, but
during all those years, and the nine
teen others which Mr. Robinson had
passed in the cashiers office, no breath
of suspicion ever touched his charac-
ter. He was appointed in 1912,
and so valuable were his services as
cashier that, no matter what other
changes were made, his removal was
never thought of. During his long
occupancy of the office the enormous
sum of Is, 900, 900, 900 passed through
his hands without one ceLt of loss to
the Government.
His death is attributed to the worrv
of mind he suffered from the mex-
planned disappearance of a gold certiti-
cate for S., 900 from his office several
months ago. The amount was made
good to the Government, but the mat
ter preyed so much on the faithful
cashier that he grew i'll and gradually
sank till death at last took him away.
In such times as these it is no small
honor to man to say that he had held
public office thirty-four years, hand
led 5000, 600, 900 of Government
money, and died with a name above
reproach. But Mr.. Robinson came OF
the old revolutionary stock, and in
herited its sterling virtues.

A Hateful Habit.

THE attention of medical men in
this great Republic is called to the in
judiciOus and absolutely hateful habit,
much in vogue in the rural districts
and among early risers in the city, of
getting up in the night to eat. This
nocturnal meal is family disguised
under the name of breakfast, and there
is no doubt that it has much to do
with creating, spreading and sustain
ing the National disease, dyspepsia.
The custom is sometimes visited by
severe judgments, but nothing seems
able to deter it's votaries from cOntin-
uing it's practices. We once took sum-
mer boarding with a man who used to
eat in the night and reused up all his
household to share the unnatural meal.
One night he stirred us all up at half
past four o'clock to eat. We rose ard
ate. That very day his best cow i'm
mOlOted herself on a wire fence, one
of his horses bit himself with a rattle
snake, a reaping-machine ate up his
best farm hand, distant relative sent
his youngest boy a drum, his wife took
to writing poetry, and one of his most
popular, talented and handsome
boarders fitted, leaving an unpaid
summers board bill to remember him
by. The latter circumstance is indel-
IDLY impressed upon our memory, and
we often think of it in connection with
the somewhat striking coincidence
that we have never been in that county
since.-Burki1lgt01z HaaOk-Ege.

SOME of the latest styles in millinery
are very peculiar and not at all grace
full. The hats that turn up high on
the left side and are fastened with a
feather and roses, are worn on the side
of the head in manner that must APP
pear to many people the height of vul-
garity. Coarse straw bOnnets with
fiat crowns and trimmed with daisies
and dried grass enjoy much favor. A
pretty little hat of white straw is the
London, a fashion much worn by
girls. The rim is bound with gray
velvet, and this material mingled with
ribbon encircleS the crown and at the
back forms loops and ends. A cluster
of pink roses and a gray plume orna-
ment the side. The shape of the Lon
don is somewhat similar to a turban;
a round, low crown and the brim
turned up all around, but not quite
close to the crown.-N. I. Cor. Chicago
