How to Handle q Hat.

In a Broadway hat store the other
day, says the New York Star, the pro-
prietor said it was an unusual thing
for a man to require a larger sized hat
than II. Among his customers were
several full-grown men who wore 81
hats, a boys size, but the average was
g.
Consplcuously displayed in this en-
porium is large card on which is
printed in bold-faced type rules for
handling the hat. Customers are sup
piled with rules printed on smaller
cards. They read:
IF you pass lady, though a
stranger, in the hall of a hotel, or on
the stair, or if you do her any little
service, such as restoring her fan or
glove, or if she makes any inquiry of
you, or you of her, raise your hat
"A gentleman walking with an ac-
quaintance raises his hat to those per-
sons whom his friend salutes, but does
not bow.
'Gentlemen remove their hats in
hotel elevators when ladies are pres
ent.
"Well-bred men lift their hats to
their wives upon meeting them IN
public place as deferentially as to any
other lady.
Take off your hat and keep it off in
place of amusement.
''Only ill-mannered men wear their
hats at meals in restaurants.
1T is not good form to doff your
hat upon being introduced to a gentle
man, unles he should be very much
your senior.
Wear your hat as little as possible
and you may save yourself from bald
ness"

A Dance in Kamschatka

A dance had just ceased as we ar
rived, and we took our seats in placid
ignorance of what was in store for US.
Presently the squeak of the fiddle was
heard and instantly the ladies rushed
in search of partners. There was a
great move in the direction of the two
Swedes and the rest of the party,
and as became a modest old bachelor
prepared to faire tapisserie with the
papas and mammas. But it was des-
tined to be otherwise, for on raising
my eyes | found that two fair damsels
were suing for the honor of my hand.
The young women were not
beautiful. However, there
was no time to be lost. The seal
hunter, the American "nigger," and
the tall swede were already hard at it,
and slipping my arm around the waist
of the nearest fair one plunged blind
ly into the dance. The affair was SIM
pie enough at first. The dance mere
ly consisted in shaffling slowly round
the room side by side, the gentleman
with his left arm free, the lady accom-
panying the music with a sort of mon
otonous chant. Time was of no par
ticular object and smoking was per-
mitted, and, las we had partaken neither
of the cranberries nor the corn-brandv,
we felt as well as could be expected
under the circumstances. 1t was not
for long, however. Suddenly the
music stopped, everybody clapped
hands, and short and stern the
order rang out in Russian: Kiss"
There are moments when even the
stoutest spirit quails. l turned des-
pairing glance at my partner and my
heart sank within me. All hope was
gone! We all know how in moments
of supreme emotion the most trivial
details become indelibly stamped upon
tne mind. The scene is now before
me. l saw tie red-haired seal-hunter
bend down to meet his fate like hero,
his green tie dangling in the air l saw
a gallant officer who had served her
Majesty in many chimes struggle nobly
to the last. Slowly my partners arms
dragged me down The lips
stole upward. l nerved myself for a
final effort and all was over!

DIVINES DISAGREE.
A DISCUSSION NOT DECIDED BY PRAYER
INTOLERANCE OF OPINION.

The following is an extract from late
New York Tribune editorial: '.There is,
perhaps no mental vice so common as in
tolerance of opinion. Even such as
| think they have emancipated themselves
| from the clinging defect find it hard to
acknowledge frankly to themselves that
| the opinion of some one else upon mat
| ter they have stuffed may very well be as
| deserving of respect as their OWL. L it
| differs radically from their own. If We
| could all get rid of this last intirmity,
not only of noble minds, but of nearly
all human minds, how much less bitter
ness and heart burning and envy and all
Observation-Disclosures"
In an adjoining column of the same
paper was found the following peculiar
commentary on the editorial:
'The bitterness of the controversy in
the American Board over the question of
probation after death was very great
This rather shocked the simple minded
| and earnest foreign missionaries who at
tended the sessions of the Board, one of
whom said he had always thought such
questions were decided by prayer. But
if the debate was not altogether Christian
IN spirit, 1t was strictly parliamentary.
The brethen didn't forget to put copy
of Cushing's Manual in their valise along
with their Bible, and apparently some of
them consulted it oftener than the
Bible"
Is it fact that there is but little toll
Grafton IN this country, and less than in
| othersl
"Comparisons are odorous," said Mrs.
Malaprop. Perhaps we have been claim
ing too much for this free nation.
We must admit that in the professions
there is yet much of the old time pre-
JUDGE against new ideas. Preachers
preach the old doctrines and doctors pre-.
| scribe the old medicines. Bitter contro-
versies arise when anything new is pro.
! posed.
But the march of progress is not stay
ed. Men are travelling heavenward un-
der new creeds and being cured by new
medicines.
Guch the same state of facts seems to
exist in other countries.
When Mr.. Robson, a leading physician
CT London, formerly of the Royal Navy,
proclaimed that Warmers safe cure was
specific in kidney arrangements, the
hide-bound school to which he belonged
threatened to dsbar him from practice,
! If he did not recant. But lie replied
that his statement was based on such
evidence that he could not recant.
Since then, DIR. Wilson, f. r. S. E..
editor of Health" recognized English
authority, announces IN his magazine
that "Warner's safe cure is of perfect
ly safe character and perfectly reliable. -
Many English physicians are now pre-
scribing it.
The schools" in this country still bar
all proprietary medicines. But DIR.
Gum, Dean of New York Medical
College, long since published, "War-
ner's safe cure is very valuable remedy"
and says that he knows that many physi-
clans prescribe it, though not by name.
Good things in creed or practice are
not to be cried down by the old fogies
simply because they are new. The spirit
of federation thrives on opposition.

A Story of Theodore Parker.

A story of Theodore Parker, which
the Listener believes has never been
in print, told him by venerable gen.
tleman prominent in free religious Cir
Giles, runs as follows:
MANY years ago." said the narrator
of the incident, ''about the time when
Parker began to preach in Music Hall,
l was called upon one day by Yankee
sailor, who was a good deal of a think
er on religious subjects, and who took
an interest, when he was in port, in
hearing the religious orators speak.
and in visiting the places where free
thought was expressed. 1t may seem
strange now that a common sailor
should frequent the lecture rooms, but
this was in day when there were
more sailors than there are now, and
when the majority of them were of
different type from the one that pre-
walls nowadays. Well, this sailor told
me that he had not only been to hear
Parker, but had visited him in his study
the day after he had heard the sermon.
Parker was interested in the man, and
asked him what he had thought of his
sermon.
AIiC 0Sl nun W do SUI dlC, NIL.
Parker, said the sailor, but l didn't
care so much for the prayer
'''What was there about the prayer
that you didn't like?' asked Parker.
Nov, Theodore Parker had way,
as you may remember, of making
pretty long prayers, and of embody-
ing the Lords prayer in them, every
Sunday. He closed his prayer gener-
ally with the Lords Prayer. So he
might have guessed what the sailor
was coming to when he answered.
Il know it was from the bible, Mr..
Parker, that sentence in your prayer
that didn't like; but 1 don't like it,
all the same
well, what sentence was itp
1t was where you prayed the Lord
not to lead us into temptation. Now,
do you suppose, Mr.. Parker, that the
Lord would lead US into temptatlonP
Theodore Parker remained silent
for moment, and then said:
"'No, my good man; don't believe
he would
Then, said the sailor, i wouldn't
pray to him not to do it,
1.-The sailor left the great liberal.
1t was some weeks after the incident
that the sailor called upon me. l was
curious to see for myself whether he
had told the truth, and | went to hear
Parker the next Sunday at Music Hall
to observe whether he had changed his
practice with regard to the prayer,
and found that the sailors criticism
had, indeed, made its impression.
"Did he cease repeating the Lords
Prayer?" asked the listener
mo, but he repeated it with varia-
ton. Instead of saying, Lead us not
into temptation he Said, Lead us
from temptation and he continued to
use that form, l am sure, as long as
he lived. Boston transcript.

Bob Ingersoll and Bill Shaffer.

There was an exceedingly jolly fit
of laughter in a Broadway car a
couple of days since. That very at
tractive promoter and genial man of
the world, Col. William Shaffer, was
holding on the strap when there en-
tered Col. Robert G. Ingersoll. There
was general stir of recognition. The
two friends beamed on each other and
passed the morning salutations.
''Well, how are you, William" re-
marked the colonel; following the
chief end of man, as usual, suppose?"
II don't catch on, said Shaffer, duly
anticipating a good thing.
"Oh, life, liberty and the pursuit of
The other SEX"

around, and then at the next crossing

IngersolPs appropriate joke, it is to
be presumed.-Neao York Graphic.

Lunch Boxes Must Go.

A prominent physician says that
children's school luncheons should not
be placed in the old-fashioned lunch
basket or tin box, as bad odors always
cling to much used receptacle. What
he recommends is a fresh, clean nap
kin wrapped neatly round the bread
and butter or other edibles, and paste
board box to hold it all. The box can
then be thrown away when the meal
is done. The good sense of this will
strike every person given to whole
some living, and it will also delight
the box manufacturers, who should
Immediately get up a cheap little box
especially adapted to the conveyance
of school luncheons. Parents, no
doubt, would be glad to buy these
boxes as they buy matches, by the
quantity, should they supersede the
luncheon basket.-BoSton Herald

Lovely Woman.

A woman jumps on chair, holds her
petticoats around her legs, and yells
like small cyclone at the sight of
mouse. But she runs up three flights
of stairs in burning building to res
cue another woman's baby. She's
afraid of book agent in broad day
light, yet pistol in hand follows up a
burglar at midnight. She covers if
the furniture cracks, and is lioness if
a drunken man assaults the front
door. She tells tales out of school;
yet is the first to do kindness to the
woman she's talked about. She steals
a car ride with crystal conscience if
the conductor forgets her fare, and
then opens her purse to its widest to
help man out of tight corner. She
haggles at the remnant counter for
herself. and then triples the money on
dannels for her washerwoman's sick
boy.-Sdn Francisco Report.

A Song in Camp.

Henry Stone writes as follows to the
Century: ''Ihe article on the Songs
of the War, by Mr.. Brander Matthews
in the Century Magazine for August,
brought back 10 my memory wildly
an experience at Murfreesboro, lust
after the battle of Stones River.
There was a good deal of gloomy feel
ing there. The losses in the army had
been terrible; and, besides, there were
among the troops a large number of
Kentucky and Tennessee regiments,
to whom the Emancipation Proclama-
ton was lot palatable. A number of
officers had resigned, or rendered res
ignatOns, on account of it. One day
a whole batch Of designations came in,
all written in the same hand writing
| and coming from one regiment, in
Guiding nearly all the officers in it.,
assigning as reason their unwilling
| ness to serve longer in consequence of
the change in the purpose and conduct
of the war. The instigator of these
letters was found, and dismissed with
| every mark of ignominy-his shoulder
straps were cut off, and he was
drummed out of camp. This heroic
remedy caused the officers whom he
had misled to withdraw the resigna-
tions; but the thing ranked. A few
days afterward glee club came down
from Chicago, bringing with them the
new song,
"'Well rally round the flag boys,
and it ran through the camp like wild
fire. The effect was little short of
miraculous. 1t put as much spirit and
cheer into the army as a victory. Day
and night one could hear it by every
campfire and in every tent. l shall
never forget how the men rolled out
the line,
"'And although he may be poor, he shar
never be a slave
do not know whether Mr.. Root
knows what good work his song did
for us there-but L hope So"

The explorer Holub, who two years
ago. on his wedding day, started with his
bride for Central Africa, has returned to
Vienna. He says he would have been
killed dozen times in the little known
region north of the Zambosi if his wife
had not been with him. The natives had
never seen anybody before who wore
skirts nor anybody who had long hair,
and they regarded Mrs. Holub as sup
ernaturaI being, who had the white man
under her special protection. One of
the tribes proclaimed her as their queen,
and begged hard that she remain with
them. The expedition was very unfortu
nate, but Mrs. Holub sustained all the
fatigues and dangers with fortitude, and
returned home in good health.
