A Contest for a WOman's Hat.

The following episode of the recent
Seventh Regiment Fair in New York is
reported: l heard of one man who
spent 81, 800 on raf1ies alone The
spirit of rivalry runs high when there is
prize offered for the table or the lady
who takes in the most money. On the
last night of the fair an illustration of
this feeling occurred. A halter sent up
a case of hats as a present to the fair,
and two order-bOoks. The idea of the
order-books was that any one could buy
an order on the halter for a hat, redeem
able at any time. The fair sold them
for the regular price, and the maker al
lowed the trade discount. To make the
game more exciting, he offered a prize
of a handsome lady's hat to the lady
who should get the most orders. Two
were found to take hold at once One
backed out after she had taken two or
ders, and handed her book over to an
| other young lady, transferring the two
she had taken with it. This made the
other lady very angry, and she called
/ the proceeding cheating," and told
her husband all about it. Like a good
/ husband he sided with his wife, and
vowed that she should not be euchred
in that way, so he bought two orders of
/ her himself. This incensed the
young man of the young lady who
/ held the other book, and he Immediate
/ ly bought four orders. Then the hus-
/ band flew into a passion, and swore
that his wife should win that hat, come
/ what may, and he bought more orders.
/ The young man, who could i'll afford it,
did the same. The husband lost his
head at this, and, jumping upon the
counter of his wife's booth, began to
/ denOunce the other side. His friends
/ dragged him down. Then he seized a
pen and ink and wrote off a check for
/ S1S4, and handed it to the cashier,
which, being a rich man, he could wei
afford. The young man was almost in
despair. His young lady begged hin
to stop; said that she didn't want thai
hat; but his blood was up. He rushed
into the supper room, and found fifteer
men whom he knew eating and drink
ing, particularly the latter. He drag
ged them all out, and they gave theil
orders to the young lady. The husband
became hyid. . You might as wei
give up the game at Once,' said he
- for l am determined to have that ha
if it takes my entire fortune" Tn,
young man didn't want to give up tn,
fight, and the fifteen men from the sup
per room cheered him on. By this tim,
it was nearly O'Clock in the morning
and the authorities interfered and locked
the books up in the safe.

The Family Purse.

Jennie June is a staunch and very
practical champion of her sex, and she
tells many truths in the way of gentle
criticism which mankind would do well
to heed. This is the way she discusses
the tight grip upon the family purse gem
orally kept by the head of the house:
. This money question between husband
and wife is one of the most serious
drawbacks to married happiness, and it
is time it was adjusted on a more Just
and equal basis The life of utter de-
pendence which some women lead is
crushing and degrading. 1t compels
them to resort to petty deceptions, and
forbids the exercise of any natural feel
ing, hope, or aspiration. 1t reduces the
position of the wife infinitely below that
of the servant, for the latter is her own
mistress, and can do what she pleases
with her money after she has earned it.
Men do not realize the utter hopeless
ness and vacuity of ideas to which this
system condemns women. They saw
with what seems fairness, I do not
spend money for my own pleasure, but
solely for the benefit of my wife and
family; but / know what l can afford
to spend, and l can distribute it in this
way much more fairly and evenly, with
III OdllR2Gl VI pCISOA4dA 6iuDttIEdSSulbIll. u.
My wife is a good, well intentioned
woman, but she does not understand
! business or finances, and knows that for
/ the welfare of the whole family it is best
that l should see to the general disburse-
ments.' Now, does any body believe
that it is necessary for the welfare of the
family that she should go to him for %
cents every time she needs it for car fare
or a spool of thread? Is it right or lust
to take her imbecility in money matters
| for granted before she has been tested
Is it not just such women, who are left
/ by the failure of some speculative craze
to their own resources, with the burden
of a family upon their inexperienced
shoulders, who often display wonderful
! powers of energy and calculation, il
addition to thrift and perSevering indus
try, which ought to put all such men tC
shame? Women, as a general rule, car
make one dollar go as far as two in the
hands of men; and many conceited iii
dividuals who now consider that the
social system bounded by the four wall:
of their dwellings would cease to revolvt
if they were taken out of it, would fine
great happiness and great pecuniary
advantage in putting the control of al
the interior details of their menage il
the hands of their wives, where they
rightfully belong, with an allowance OF
division of the income equal to the re
/ quirements.' - This is well put, and j.
justified by experience

Can Earthquakes Be Predictedg

NJ. Delaney, the French astronomer,
believes he has established a connection
between earthquakes and the position of
the two great planets, Jupiter and
Saturn. Taking for data M. Alexis
Perrey's earthquake tables from 1850 to
1912, and noting the maxima of the
curve obtained, NJ. Delaney finds a
first group of maxima commencing in
1859, and having a period of about
twelve years, a second commencing in
1856, also with period of twelve years,
and a third and fourth group, COM
mencing in 1756 and 1873 respectively,
and each having a period of twenty
eight years. Now the epochs of max
ina of the first and second groups coin
eide with the epochs when Jupiter at
tains his mean longitudes of 265 deg.
and 135 deg, while the epochs of max
ina of the third and fourth groups cor
respond to the times when Saturn is
found at the same two longitudes. Thus
earthquakes seem to pass through Il
maximum when Jupiter and Saturn are
in the neighborhood of the mean longi-
| tudes 265 deg, and 135 deg. NJ.
Delauney further thinks this influence
| is due to passages of these two planets
through cOsmic streams of meteors.
He gives an approximate table of future
earthquakes, indicating particularly the
the years 1886, 1891, 1898, 1900, 1912, 1919,
1927, and 1880, as having numerous
/ earthquakes. Among recent earth
/ quakes the most noticeable were those
| in Hungary. These seem 10 be coupled
with phenomena of "a remarkable nature.
The large island in the Danube, near
! Old Moldowa, was completely cleft in
| two By one of the shocks. From the
chasm thus formed a gigantic column of
water shot forth. partly flooding the
| island On October 18th the giant
fountain suddenly ceased to flow, but
numerous funnel-shaped craters had
formed from which black sand and clay
| were elected. Near Weisskirchen the
old ruins of the Castle Golubacz have
fallen in completely, and in the vicinity
several caves have been rendered mac
cessible. These caves were the breeding
places of the dreaded Kolumbac mo-
squitoes, and if this insect is thus exter-
minated the earthquake may, with all
the damage it did, have yet been of some
use. A violent earthquake is reported
from Iceland. 1t occurred on September
oath last, and is ascribed TO volcanic
eruptions in the Krisuvik Mountains,
locality where eruptiOns have not
been known within the memory of the
| OrpSent generation.

The Matter with the watch.

A Brooklyn parent gave his daughter
a handsome watch on her eighteenth
birthday. One night the girl forgot to
wind it, and in the morning the hands
and wheels were motionless. She took
il for granted that she had used the
watch carelessly and that something
was broken inside. She did not ike TO
say any thing to her father about it, but
going TO a Fulton Street jeweler the next
dav, asked him to look at the watch
and see what was the matter with it.
The jeweler took it, put magnifying
glass before his eyes, opened the case,
touched the wheels with a pick, and re-
marked that it needed cleaning as it
was very dirty. On inquiring the cost Of
such an operation she was told that it
would be $3.50. The young lady was
amazed, for she had had the watch only
three days and was reluctant to believe
that it required 50 extensive a reROva-
ton She passed on to the best known
jewelers. store in Brooklyn, and hand
ing her watch to the man at the coun-
ter, preferred the same request as be-
fore. He went through the same pro-
| cess of inspection and said the hair
| spring was broken, ard the watch
needed cleaning. InqturIng the cost
again she was told it wOuE! be 81. She
| said she wonld see her father about it,
and at night when he came home she
/ told him of her days doing, and said
/ his friend must have cheated him. Her
| father took the watch to New York in
| the morning, and in the course Of the
day stepped into his friend store where
he bought it and asked him to look at
the watch and see why it had stopped.
! His friend after looking at it a moment
took up a key, and winding it up,
handed it back with the remark a. No
watch VIII run unless it IS kept wound
up"

the owner of the white cravat, while
Helen and the distant cousin keep up a
murmured conversation, whose purport

Miss Scrimper say? The flavor of

that two young gentlemen and a lady
