All Jewish congregations worship
with their heads covered SO do the
Quakers although St Paul's iniunc-
tons on the matter are clearly condem-
natory Of the practice The puritans Of
the Commonwealth would seem to have
kept their hats on, whether preaching
or being preached to, since Pepys notes
hearing simple clergyman exclaiming
ngainst men wearing their hats in the
church and year afterward (166I
writes ITO the French Church in the
Savoy and where they have the Com
mon Prayer Book, read in French, and
which l never sow before, the minister
to preach with his hat off, I suppose in
further conformity with our church."
William tho Third scandalized his
church-going subjects by following
Dutch custom, and keeping his head
covered i'll church, and when it did
please him to doff his ponderous hat dur
ing the service, he invariably donned it as
the preacher mounted the pulpit stairs.
When Dossuct Mt the age of fourteen,
treated the gay fellows of the Hotel de
Rambouillet to a midnight sermon. Vol
taire sat it out with his hat on, but un-
covering when the boy-preacher had
finished, bowed low before him, saying
"Sir, never heard man preach at
once SO early and SO late" AS token
of respect, uncovering the head is one
of the Oldest of courtesies
Lamenting the decay Of respect to age,
Clarendon tells us that in his young days
he never kept his hat on his head before
his elders, except at dinner. A curious
exception. that, to modern notions of
politeness, but it was the custom to sit
covered ct meals down to the beginning
of the eighteenth century. Sir John
Finett, deputy master of the ceremonies
at the Court of King James the First,
was much puzzled as to whether the
Prince of Wall should sit covered or not
at dinner in the presence of the SOW
ereign, when q foreign ambassador was
one of the guests since the latter, as
the representative Of n king, was not ex-
pected to vail his bonnet Giving
James q hint of his difficulty, his Majesty
disposed of it when the time came by
uncovering his head for little while,
an example all present were bound to
follow; and then, putting on his hat
again, requested the prince and the
ambassador to do likewise "Hats need
not be raised here" so, it is said, runs q
notice in one of Nurenrberg's streets.
Hats must be raised here" should
have been inscribed On the Kremlin
gateway, where government officer
used to stand to compel passers by to
remove their hats, because, under that
gate, the rstreating army of Napoleon
withdrew flom Moscow Whether the
regulation is i'll force at fhis day is more
than We know.

BADLY disappointed.

The Washington correspondent of
the New York Herald writes a. follow
Rather an amusing Incident occurred
during the public reception in the East
Room this afternoon. Among those who
waited in the East Room for long time
for the privilege of shaking the hand of
the President was rather pleasant
look ing aud fashionably dresseu lady,
who held by the hand little girl proba-
oily three years of age. The little girl
was hardly a. pleas Ant iook ing as her
mother.
AS they advanced toward the Presi-
dent the fond mother picked up her
little girl and lifting her 10 the Presi-
dent said, won't you kiss herr" a.
if it was part of the Presidents dufy
to kiss all the children who called OIL
him.
The President made come reply, but
it was not heard by those standing
about. The President, however, ID
not kiss the girl. He shook her hand
and then shook the hand of the mother
who 'ked off very mnch disappear
ted. Every one excep: tn1 mother en-
joyed the incident. -, was ve.y
mad.
The mex lady who came along made
mistake and gave one Of the door
keepers who stand en- either eide of III,
President during these receptions,
hearty grasp of the hand. TIE door
keeper called Ter attention TO the mis-
take, but she passed along, not hearln.

Chimney that Won't break

One of the latest Inventions In t, q
line of lamps that attracts attention is
a chimney that cannot be broken by
any ordinary kind of rough handling
They may be pounded upon the eoun-
ter or thrown upon tbs foo ard kicked
from one of the rooms to another with
out breaking.
The chin neg is a French invention,
and the secret is said TO be in the an.
nealirg process.

The joint Comm ittee of the Park (
Com raj ssion and the City Council held
a meeting on Saturday afternoon TO
con fer together in regard to the pur
chase OF land for park purposes. Chief
Engineer Robinson, who had between.
times surveyed the proposed park land
presented a plot of the ground survey
cd. Befura the present meeting, clrcu-
lars had been addressed to the proper
ty holders within the bounds of the park
survey asking the lowest for which they
would sell such property. The answers
of some of the parties were surprise
to the committee.
Only in two instances was property
offered for what II brought the last
time IL WAS sold. At Lowering avenue
aud VanBuren street lot Of ground
bought within less than three years for
s. 800, and since was offered at very
slignt advance, has all at once become
worth SIC, 900, and the beds of Harrison
and Frank lin streets, from Lowering
avenue TO the Brandy wine. that were
offered as free gift 10 the City Council
ard the offer declined, have all at
| once become worth 81 1000, less 81 900.
VII ich the owner offered TO donate for
park purposes. A notable exception
to this extreme greediness Is found in
| the owners of the st. James church
property, at Lowering avenue and Du
Pont Street, which was offered for no
more than the cost of the ground at
last purchase and the cost of the build.

For the Law property, adjoining Mt.
Salem M. Il. church, 81 acres $4,000
was asked, Notwithstanding the fact
that AZ & BOD land in this same neig hbor.

$3.50 per acre. The Law property. how

spec,ive park purposes But the moo,

found out in the Eleventh ward, where

Maple, Beech, Franklin and Broome
streets, which sold two years ago al
from 81, 80 10 s. per foot, has suddenly
risen 10 $40 and $40 per foot, when Il
