PCKer OF the i'iuI Hat.

TIE plug hat is virtually q sort Of
social guarantee Tor the preservation OF
peace and order. He who puts one on
has given hostage to the community
for his good behavior The wearer of q
plug hat must move with certain se-
dateness and propriety. He cannot run,
or Jump, or romp, or get into fight,
except at the peril Of his head-gesr. All
the hidden Influences of the beaver tend
toward respectability. He who wears
one Is obliged 10 keep the rest of his
body in decent Trim, that there may be
no incopgruity letween head and body.
He is apt to become thoughtful through
the necessity of watching the sky when-
ever he goes out. The chances are that
he will buy al umbrella. which is an
other guarantee for good behavior, and
the care Of hat and neutrality-suspicious.
and exacting as it must ever be-adds to
the sweetness of his character. The
man who wears 6 plug hat naturally takes
to the society of women, and all its ele.
waited tendencies. He cannot go hunt
ing and fishing without abandoning his
beloved hat, but in the modern enjoy
u,ent of croauet and lawn tennis he may
sport his beaver with impunity. In
other words. the constant use of q plug
hat makes man composed in manner,
quiet AID gentlemanly i'll conduct, and
the con,an0n of the ladies. The insv.
table result is prosperity, marriage and
church rlembclship.

The Nearest Star.

In an interesting article on Southern
stars, reprinted i'll Science, Mr.. Pope, OF
New Zealand, describes Al pAa Centauri,
tie known nearest liked star to the earth.
This magnificent double star, he says, is
the finest object of the kind in the heav-
ems. Beside being binary star of very
short period, every one knows that Alpha
Centauri is our next neighbor among the
stsrs, and that it was the frat to give
up the secret of It's parallax under direct
transit circle observations. The color
Of this star is straw-yellow, OF sometimes
golden yellow, according to the state Of
the atmosphere. When there is a haze,
Of course tho smaller star is somewhat
u reshocted byit than the larger. This
tends to give it slight brownish tint
when las tx is not clear. Alpha Gen.
tauri Is star of the second class. It's
spectrum is very Like that of the sun.
Even the principal dark lines are fine,
and they apparently occupy the same
relative positions as do the well-known
lettcred lines i'll the solar spectrum.
There can be no doubt, In fact, that the
physical constitution OF this greet star
is, in most respects, the same as that Of
the sun. 1t is probable, however, that
Alpha Centauri is less developed than
the sun; for, az Mr. Proctor has pointed
,ut, its light is brighter than it's mass
would lead us to expect it to he, judging
from the light of our sun as compared
with his mass. While tho mass Of the
star is to tho mass of the sun as 2:1, the
light Of the star is to the Light of the sun
As 81. Now, if it is true, as physicists
have good grounds for believing, that
The sun is, anu has beeu, very slowly bat

When the light from our sun bore the

A ThorOuRh Job.

Judge NJ, a well-known juYist Nv.
tng near Cincinnati, was fond OF relating
this anecdote. He had once occasion to
send to the village for carpenter, and
q sturdy young fellow appeared with bis
tools.
Il want this fence mended to keep
the cattle. There are some unplaned
boards-use them. 1t is out Of sight
from the house, SO you need not take
time to make it neat Job. will only
pay you dollar and hall"
The Judge went to dinner, and, COM
ing out, found the man carefully PLAN
ing each board. Supposing that he was
trying to make costly job Of it, he or
dered him to nail them on at once just as
they were, and continued his walk.
When he returned the boards were
planed and numbered ready for mailing,
"I told you that this fence was to be
covered with vines," he said, angrily.
II do not care how it looks.
81 do" said the carpenter, grufny,
carefully measuring his work. When it
was finished there was no part of the
fence so thorough in finish.
How much do you charger" asked
the Judge.
"A dollar and half" said the man,
shoulderiDg his tools.
The Judge stared. "Why did you
spend all that iabor on the job, If not
for money!"
"For the job, SIR"
Nobody would have seen the poor
work OH it.
"But L should have known it was
there. No; I'll take only the dollar
and half" And he took it and went
away.
Ten years afterward, the Judge had
the contract to give for the building OF
certain magnificent public buildings.
There We're many applicants among mas
ter-builders, but tine face of one caught
his eye.
"1t was my man of the fence" he
said. "I knew we should have only
good, genuine work from him. l gave
him the contract aud it made rich man
of him."
1t is pity that boys were not taught
in their earliest years that the highest
success belongs only to the man, be he
carpenter, farmer, author or artist,
whose work is most sincerely an thor
oughly done.

Wonders OF Electricity.


Wonders OF Electricity.
The possible applications of the princi-
pie of tue electrical transmission "i power
are almost numberless. We shall, be-
lieve, al no distant date. have great CEN
trail stations, possibly situated at the bot
tom of coal pits, where numerous steam
egnines will drive many electric machines.
We shall have wires laid along on every
street, the electricity tapped into every
house, and the quantity OF electricity In
each house registered rs gas Is at present.
The storage battery will fill a place
corresponding to the gasometcr in the gas
system, making tho current steady, rem
dering the consumer independent of the
irregular action or stoppages of the dy-
amos of the central station, and enabling
the use of dyamos OF the highest tension
i. e., those which produce the currents
of the greatest intensity. The electricity
will be passed through little electric ma
chimes to drive machinery to produce ven
tiation, to replace stoves and to work all
sorts of apparatus, as well as to give ev-
eryiody an electric light. Solar heat will
be used to run the dyamos in the cloud
less regions. Everywhere the power OF
the tides and such waterfalls as Niagara
are to be utilized. Is not millennium
to be anticipated when the water power
of country shall be available at every
door.
Steam, which in the last century has
conferred so many benefits on the world
will give away before electricity. The
dyamo will replace the steam engine.
This prediction seems wild aud visionary,
yet when steam was first thought of as an
available force it's advocates were cOnsid
cred, just as the advocates of dynamical
electricity to-day are considered, mere
enthusiasts. But public opinion never
stops the march of intellect Alter it had
proven the powers of steam to be enor
nous, genius never halted. but straight-
way went on anticipating still more Won
deriul discoveries in the realms of elec-
trieity.
The prophetic ken of science was hsp-
PLY exhibited by DR.. Lardner, in his
treatise on his steam eugine. "PbilosO>
phy," said he, half century ago, "already
dirao IS her fingers at sources of inexhaus-
table power IN the phenomena of electric
ity and magnetism, and many causes COM
bine to justify the expectation that we are
on the eve of mechanical discoveries still
greater than any which have yet appear
ed. and that the steam engine itself, with
the gigantic powers conferred upon it by
the immortal Watt, will dwipdle into
insight fcance in comparison with the hid
den powers OF nature still to be revealed :,
and that the day will come when that
machine which is now extending the
blessings OF civilization to the most re-
mote skirts of the globe will cease to
have existence except in the page OF hiss
tory"
To-day we are beginning to appreciate
the truth of this prophecy. To-day we
see dynamical electricity in the forefront
of the physical sciences. The principle OF
the transmission OF power by electricity
fast approaches its realization. We are,
IN truth, just entering upon wonderful
age.-Tacoma News,

At an adjourned meeting of the La Sale
county bar, held in the circuit room on
Tuesday, the committee appointed for that
purpose reported the following resolutions
upon the death of Judge McRoberts, which
we're unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, The Honorable Josiah Nc
Roberts, one of the Judges of the Ninth
Judicial Circuit, has been suddenly re-
moved from our midst by death, therefore,
be 1t
Resolred, First: That by the death of
the said Josiah McRoberts, the people of
this Judicial Circuit have lost an honest,
faithful and upright Judge, one, who by
continuous service for the period of nine
teen years on the Circuit Bench, has shown
himself to be industrious, able and impair
tial, and by said long and continuous ser
vice, had so endeared himself to this peO-
pie that at the late Judicial election, the
result of which could scarcely have been
known to the deceased, he was elected by
large and complimentary vote to serve In
such capacity for the further period of six
years; that during the time the deceased
was upon the Circuit Bench he was indus
trious in the despatch of the business Of
the court fair and impartial in his decis-
ions, discriminating towards none, and
while securing to all accused of crime
fair and impartial trial, was still never I'M
mindful of the interests of the people,.
Resolped, Second: That in the death of
the Honorable Josiah McRoberts, the 9TH
er Judges of the circuit have lost an able,
learned and distinguished associate, who,
by his long practice at the bar, and his ex-
tenslve experience on the bench, was well
worthy of their respect and esteem, that
the Bar of this Judicial Circuit has lost an
upright, able and distinguished member Of
the profession; an agreeable and genial
companion, and kind hearted friend, who
by his extensive literary requirements, in
tegrity of character, and gentlemanly de-
pertinent endeared himself to all; and
while In the discharge of his official duties
was always courteous 10 the members of
the bar, treating old and young with equal
impartiallty.
Resoired, Third: That a copy of these
resolutions be presented TO the Circuit
Court of this county and TO the Appellate
and Supreme Courts of this district and d.
vision with request that the same be
spread upon the records thereof, as just
and lasting tribute to the memory of the
deceased, and that an engrossed copy OF
these resolutions be sent to the family of
the departed.

GIRLS OUGHT TO BE WATCHED.
A Sermon by Minister Who Lately Mar
ried Two Young Eloping Couples.

The Rev J. j. White, pastor of the Fourth
Street NJ p. Church, Williamsburg, who
married the two young couples whose par.
eufs are seeking TO snnul the marriages
said last evening in his sermon:
Marriage is a divine institution. Once
young man said when | married him. 4
thank YOU, Mr.. White He was in rap
lures, and added: Il feel like new man.
and so be was; for no man feels complete
until he is married. You all know and feel
desire for that completion Where there
is no esteem there can be no affection,
and where there is no affection there is
no union of hearts. Now, therefore, mar
risge should never be thoughtlessly en-
tered into, tor good marriages are the basis
of our rational stability Fancy nation OF
bachelors There would be anarchy. When
you see young men keeping away from
marriage the nation is beginning to decay.
Now, what is bringing this about? What Of
parental restraint. Young girls are allowed
to run about unattended, are not watched a
home, or looked after when outside of the
home circle.
1T is 8 wonder that more girls are not
led sstrsY. Mothers should be the conf
denies of their daughters in love affairs. 1t
amazes me when l find senseless tops and
dudes encouraged in the house by mothers
Eho have manageable daughters. Yet
when these girls go of and marry these tops
and dudes a great sensation is made of it
The causes OF marriages are often trivial.
A beautiful moustache will win gir
hand for fOp. Young men who have
Dotbirg to DO should be Stunned by girls.
One Of the most damnable institution Of the
age is Irritation. 1t is the cause of
most of the unhappy marriages Of the day.
The airt cannot be wife in whom a man
can put confidence. God save good men
from them Another cause is the love Of
dress. WOmen's love of dress deters many
from marrying. Young men have given
this as a cause to me why they have not
married, and yet | know men who are sup
ported by their wives.
"0f the structures which have been passed
upon me let me say: Grave is minister's
responsibility, but in the case of marriage,
if the parties were compelled to get q
license, the responsibility Of that ceremony
would be removed, and he would not run
the chance of displeasing some one. Minis
ters act now according to the best light they
have. As IA minister OF forty years expert.
enee will say that believe in marriages
Of young couples providing they are the
proper persons, and whenever l have mar
ritd q couple | have done so consclentiously
before God.
