-THE-HAT BOYS FACULTY.
Never Forgetting Which Hat OF q
Hundred Goes With Each Face
of Five Score.
New York Sun.

There is a special line OF work requir.
ed from hotel employees, which needs the
exercise Of extraordinary powers Of
memory. The chat boy" who succeeds
in the metropolitan hotel In filling bic
place acceptably is sure OF berth for
life. In all large hotels OF the city the
hats OF the guests are likely to be left
before any meal IN q room adjoining the
dining-room, and they are left in charge
of the hat boy.
Perhaps the most remarkable of all
hat boys in New York is an attenuated
little man who has charge Of the hats Of
the guests of the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
He is small and wiry and seldom seems
to take bis eyes from the racks which
line the ante-room on either side. When
be takes q visitor;s hat he glsnces ct the
face csrelessly, and puts the hat on one
of the several racks. When the man
comes out of the dining-room, an hour
later, The boy picks out his hat withou,
q moment's hesitation and. hands it to
him. Often be has from 300 to 400 hats
In bis racks at one time, and in the
course Of six years he has, never been
known to make a mistake. The hats
look very much alike. and it is a mystery
to the majority of diners how he remem-
bers their faces and their hats at the
same time.
The attendant was asked night or
two ago how it was his memory served
him In 60 many cases. and be said: -
81 don't know. 1t seems to come
natural"
"Do you pick out any particular 'fea-
ture OF the wesrer's face by which you
fix him In your memoryf"
"Oh, no; that would never do. re-
member the face itself. l look along the
rack and | seem to see the face that fits
every hat, and when man comes out |

ference whether the man has his hat on
when he comes 10 or not. He hands it

Of the house often try to fool me, but
they have never succeeded in catching
me in blunder. For instance, some
times two Of them will come in looking

them hands me the two hats. When
they come out / give each man bis ha'

Where Will Power Tells.
Oar. sav;nav fM;cb I, fton,;sr

I am satisfied that in the case of gun
shot wounds, in many instances, much
depends upon the character Of the per
son suffering, ofttimes from almost NOR
tai wounds. Men Of large self.discia
pliue, with strong will and stubborn
pride, will not surrender life without a
struggle, and will withhold the sacrifice
in the face OF the grim conqueror Of all.
Those who have, in the drama Of war,
played parts in. the comedy of life as
we'll as tue tragedy of death, will bear
me witness that thefe are Wills fate can
not shake: On the other hand, have
seen, and doubtless 90 have Others who
have given the subjsct attention. those
who have yieldei up the, palm of life
