The palmetto,s Day Is Over.

The palmetto hat is going out of
fashion, and you rarely see one on the
street now, even on the head Of the most
old fashioned Southerner. Yet there
was time, and that not ten years ago,
when every gentleman thought that to
sustain his dignity he had to wear a
palmetto hat in the summer. The fact
is, that in spite Of their light and cool
appearance, the palmetto hats were the
hottest covering that a perspiring man
ever interposed between his head and
the burning rays Of the sun. White
starched shirts on a hot day don't COM
pare to palmetto hat for discomfort.
The straw is so closely woven that not
particle Of air gets to the hair, and as
soon as people began to get ideas in their
heads about common sense clothing for
summer they began to look with dis
favor upon the palmetto hat. Besides,
the hats are exceedingly expensive. The
cost of good one is $25 to begin with,
and in order to have it in good condition
you must pay several dollars every sum-
mer to have it reshaped and the straw
whitened. Interview with st. Louis
Halter,

Vice presIden. Morton. WIGS.

There is great deal Of doubt about q
number of things in this world, but it
seems to be accepted as fact in Wash
ington that the vice president has three
beautiful and complicated wigs with
which he goes forth into the world to de-
ceive mankind. The wigs are a source
Of profound study and earnest thought
on the part Of both Mr.. Morton and his
valet The first wig is short, the second
is of an average length and the third
was made with cunning and deceptive
ingenuity by schemer. This last wig
gives an absolutely triumphant llustra-
ton of hair which has been allowed to
grow too long. 1t is said that the surest
way to Mr.. Morton's heart is to remind
him that his hair needs cutting.
One should always be careful, how
ever, to make this remark when the
vice-president is wearing wig No. 3.
After several people have told him that
his hair needs cutting he alludes to it
himself in careless way, and then
makes some mysterious allusion about
having the barber in the morning. The
following day he appears in wig No. /,
presenting the appearance of a close
cropped and thoroughly well groomed
statesman. These things are eagerly
discussed in Washington, where the af-
fairs of state are of no Importance COM
pared to the small talk of the day.-New
York World.

A Sturgeon Carrying . Chain.

Capt. Dillon, of the steamer Fisher, on
June 80 brought up a sturgeon which
had been caught in the last trap at the
mouth Of the Columbia, almost to the
ocean. The popularity about the fish is
that there was attached to him chain
nearly five feet long, about the size of a
halter chain. He had been caught be-
fore, and on the under side of his mouth
a hole had been cut. Through this the
chain had been passed, and through a
ring on the end of the chain, thus form
ing bow knot or loop around his under
lip. Then he had evidently been fastened
to a pole or stake, with rope attached
to the end Of the chain.
After the rope broke the fish was at
liberty to leave, and how long he has
been swimming with the chain hanging
to his mouth is mystery. II any Of
our exchanges know where the fish has
escaped from, or when, and will state it,
it may form an interesting sketch as to
how long the fish has carried the chain
and where he has been travelling.
The sturgeon was quite poor, and one
of his fins was partially worn off by the
rubbing of the chain, showing that he
had travelled with it long time.-Asto-
rian. o

Washington Roof Lodser..

A look through a powerful field glass
from one of the narrow windows in the
top of the Washington monument in hot
weather shows new side Of domestic
life in the capital-what might be term
ed the upper side-as a writer has said
in book of which all the rest has been
forgotten. Washington is a city Of
boarding houses. As you look from the
top Of the monument with your field
glass you can see bedrooms on the house
tops. That is, light, portable cots have
been taken up on the fatroofs Of houses,
rugs spread over the sheets Of tin that
have become floors, and som etimes fold
ing screens have been placed between
the beds. Tho houses so topped off are
probably the big boarding houses where
unmarried department clerks live, and
they take to the roofs on hot nights for
the sake of the maximum of air and
minimum of temperature. And the plan
is not bad one by long odds.-Wash-
ington Post.

Grass is growing in Broadway-grow-
ing in one Of the most crowded parts Of
that great thoroughfare, where the peo-
pie rush wildly about ON business er-
rands, even when the sun Is hottest and
the humidity highest. There isn't a
great deal of the grass, but what there
is is hourishing. Thousands pass over
IL every day, but none Of them touches
1t, for it is Just under queer little iron
grating, set in the pavement for some
reason that isn't now apparent. Under
the iron bars is little space followed
out in the tagging, and in it dust and
dirt have accumulated TO the depth Of
an inch or so. How the grass seeds got
there is not easily to be accounted for
unless they were brought by the spar
rows But the seeds fell there at any
rate, and now the grass is struggling up
to the bars of the grating. There is no
trouble about moisture, for every rain
turns the hollow into a little reservoir,
and In two or three weeks anybody with
liking for novelty may take up the
grating and harvest the first crop of hay
that has been raised in the neighborhood
of lower Broadway for many year

To BLOW up the iron Gnts..

Alderman syndicate has recently been
engaged in preparing to undertake the
clearing Of the Danube waterway by
blowing up the iron gates. By interna-
tional agreement it was settled at the
time of the treaty Of Berlin that when
the time came Servia should give up the
quarries on the banks to whatever COM
pany was charged with the work at a
nominal valuation. Several hundreds
of thousands of cubic meters of stone are
needed in order safely to divert the course
of the stream during mining and blast
ing operations.
Upon arriving at Belgrade, however,
the German representative found that
the government had anticipated him by
hastily putting up all the riparian quar-
ries to auction in numerous small lots,
and knocking them down to their radi-
cal friends. Consequently the company,
instead of having to deal with the
crown, finds itself face to face with
swarm of individual proprietors, each of
whose claims will have to be settled
separately. 1t is believed that the
strongest representations will be made
to quash the recent auctions, and the
company will probably be backed by
most European representatives. es.-Cor.

GeOrSia,s Bible.

The old Bible, which SO long has been
an object familiar to visitors to the
executive department, has been shipped
to Savannah. It came to Atlanta from
Milledgeville just after the war, with
other plunder belonging to the state.
Governor Gordon and all his predecessors
who have assumed Office during the time
Of the younger generation sealed the
official oaths with lips laid reverently
upon its cover. On the back was the
name 'sMathus." Not long ago Mr.. T.
N. Theus wrote to the executive depart
ment claiming the old book as his moth
er's Bible. A sister, he said, in whose
possession it was, refugeed to Milledge-
villjust before the close Of the war. She
was forced to leave there hurriedly on
account Of Sherman's arrival, and forgot
to take the book away with her. Ex-
actly how it found its way to the state
house is not known. Macon Telegraph.

The season for picnics makes US glad
to know of any little delicacies which
will travel well, so hope the following
will be of use: Ingredients required are
one pound of cold chicken, one slice of
ham and little gelatine. Boil the
chicken bones in quart of water for
five hours, add the ham, and boil till the
liquor is reduced to half pint. Let it
get cold, and if the paste be not suffi-
GENTLY thick add gelatine and boil
again. Spread on bread that has been
buttered very slightly, then add slices
of chicken seasoned with salt and pep
per, and put another slice Of bread ON
top.
Lobster mold is an excellent dish.
Chop up one good sized lobster, and sea-
son with mace, salt and pepper. Rub
two ounces Of butter into one ounce Of
bread crumbs, beat up three eggs, pound
all the ingredients well together and
boil in a buttered mold for an hour.
Before being packed it should be stood
upon some ice, SO that it is thoroughly
cold. Julian Ralph in Chatter.

Tillamook lighthouse, which stands
on lonely rock eighteen miles below
the Columbia river on the stormy Ore
gon coast, was the scene last week Of an
exciting fight for life between four help
ers and the acting keeper, who suddenly
became raying maniac. This light
house is notorious for its loneliness, as 1t
covers nearly all the rock, and there is no
chance when the sea is rough of reach
ing shore, and NJ opportunity at any
time to take recreation. In winter the
keeper is frequently close prisoner for
weeks, as the waves wash clean over the
rock and lighthouse, which is over 100
feet above the sea. Two years ago rocks
weighing four tons were cast up by the
side Of the lighthouse, the glass smashed
and the foundations of the house shaken
so that it had to be secured by addition
al iron bolts of large size.
For four years ], Saour, a very meth
odical German, has been the assistant
keeper. Other men changed, being un-
able to endure the frightful monotony
of life on the rocks, but he remained
cheerful and contented. Recently, how
ever, he began to indulge in fits Of tenn
per, and suddenly one day, with a
scream of rage, he came dashing out of
the lighthouse brandishing large carv-
ing knife and swearing he would kill
one of his helpers. The terrified man
shouted for help, and his three compan-
ions responded. After a yery long and
desperate fight Saour was overcome.
His hands and feet were bound, and he
was locked in a room. Signals were
then displayed, and aid was sent by the
Manzanita. The maniac was taken to
an insane asylum. There was no cause
for insanity, except his lonely life.-Cor.
st. Louis Globe Democrat.

Summer Drinks.

Lemonade and buttermilk are as good
as anything drinkable that you can find
for this weather." said physician.
"They both are great things to quench
thirst. They both act as pleasant tonic
to the stomach and they have a stimu-
lating quality. But they should not be
drunk ice cold--that is, bits of ice should
not be in the goblet. Let them be as
cold as the ice chest or refrigerator can
make them, but not more than that
When you pour down your throat pint
or SO of fluid that is fresh from the ice
temporary paralysis of the stomach fol-
lows. If man happens to be very hot,
such thing not infrequently is as fatal
as stroke of lightning" Cincinnati

steering a Ship from the Bridge.

That new German invention which
enables the captain of a steamer to steer
his ship from his bridge will be a great
thing if it realizes present expectations.
The invention involves the use of an
electric current, the apparatus for which
the captain can carry in his pocket, and
the use of it at critical moments by the
captain instead Of communicating his
directions to the man at the wheel by
means of signals would be of immense
advantage, and would enable the captain
or his representative on the bridge, in
cases where the steamer is running dan
gerously close to another steamer or an
iceberg, to make good use of the Sec
onds which are now lost before the man
at the wheel can comprehend the situa-
ton. The invention is now undergoing
practical trial on some of the ships
of the American navy.-Philadelphia)

A ROYAL Newspaper Reader.

Mr.. Harold Frederic, correspondent Of
The New York Times, is in Berlin pre-
pairing life of the young emperor under
the direction q had almost said auspices)
of the emperor himself. Wilhelm II is
rather partial to journalists, and he is a
voracious newspaper reader. Fifty of
the leading newspapers of Europe are
brought to him every morning, and he
plunges through them with the avidity
and the alacrity Of a professional ex-
change editor. A pair of shears is close
at hand, and he clips whatever seems to
be Of particular interest to him. These
clippings are duly pasted in scrap books
and indexed. In this fashion doth his
majesty keep a record on the boys. It is
said that The Paris Figaro is the news
paper whose opinions seem to interest
him most. Eugene Field in Chicago

mute and elaborate that they fill book
of forty pages. Any admiral who mar
ries is in future to go through the cere-
mony arrayed in his full uniform. Ad-
mirals are only to wear plain clothes at
the seaside or at baths, when out shoot
ing, at masked balls, or when on half
pay. If they happen to be in Berlin on
Sunday the cooked hat must be worn
when walking about the city till 4
o'clock in the afternoon. When an ad-
miral is at sea he may wear an oilskin
sou'wester and coat only if the weather
is stormy, and his shirt front must al
ways be perfectly plain. It is further
strictly forbidden to have the corners of
the collar turned down or doubled back,
and there are peremptory rules about
gold lace and other fiddle faddle append
ages.-London Truth.
