THE "BIa HEAD" IN SOCIETY.
How Personal Conceit Distorts the
Charms OF Nature.

How Personal Conceit Distorts the
Charms OF Nature.
| The big head is no longer monopo-
lied by theatrical stars; it has broken
ont, says the New York World, if one
may say so, in polite society, and the
least of us may be afflicted by cranial
enlargement. 1t did not seem possible
that the big head could be contagious,
but in these days of imitation it has
been proved otherwise, and more than
one of your acquaintance will be found
suffering from it. The society. woman
who has achieved some local success is
the first to find her acquaintance OBJ
serving this capital change; they say
nothing to her, of course, but they look
unutterable things when she betrays
herself and her new self-importance.
Very youthful persons, whom the world
in which they move has kindly noticed,
will carry round on their shoulders q
head out of all proportions with their
moral size; but they go unchallenged, be
cause big head is now so prevalent that
as a monstrosity it would prove drug
in the dime museum line. To believe
in ones self, to determine to win the
race, really to be somebody, is all
praiseworthy in the extreme. but the
instant these noble endeavors fly to the
head all is lost The head swells, and
when that misfortune occurs all the
symmetry of individuality vanishcs,
and disagreeable personal conceit
comes to distort the sweetest natural
charms. Modesty is rare quality in
the present day. There seems to be no
room for its cultivation. Apparently,
nobody has any use for modesty, and
only blatant self-sufiiciency, with the
inevitable result, big head, now has the
floor.

TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH.

THE Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany operates about eighteen hundred
miles of telegraph.
AN underground telephone cable is
to be laid between Berlin and Munich,
Germany.
THE telephone in Japan is said to be
growing in popularity. A great many
young Japanese are studying electrici-
ty.
THE want of absolute silence on the
telephone wires between London and
Paris is thought to be due to an i'm
proper application of the well-lknown
twist system for preventing inductive
disturbances.
A GREAT event in the annals of Indian
telegraphy was the completion recent
ly of the new copper wire between Cal
cutta and Bombay, along the line of the
Bengal-Nagpore railway. The total
length of the circuit is nearly one thou
sand three hundred miles, and the In
dian department can now boast that it
works the longest aerial circuit in the
world.

HORSES TO Battle.
Blue-Blooded Aristocrats in the Surf 6
Coney island.

-Blooded Aristocrats in the Surf at
Coney island.
The most aristocratic of Coney Islands
many visitors, the first to come and the
last to go, are the blue-blooded racers
from the Gravesend stables, says the
New York Recorder. There can be no
doubt of their pretensions to noble am
cestry, and their fame is known to all
the world. These distinguished visitors
have already inaugurated the bathing
season and have given an air of life and
vivacity to the beaches in spite of the
| cold weather.
GO soak your feet" they are told,
and instead of taking the suggestion as
an insult, as human aristocrats would
take it, they wade into the breakers
and seem to enjoy softening their hoofs.
The best time to see the race horses
battle is between five and six o'clock.
They come trooping down to the beach
in all sorts of picturesque costumes.
/ Some are swathed from head to tail in
blanket suits of gigantic plaids or gaudy
rods or yellows. Others affect low-cut
busters of modest colors, and few
come stripped, with nothing on but
their low shoes. The beauties step
daintily down to the very edge of the
water, and then, like fashionable bath
ers, they hesitate. The waves look
cold and wet. Sir knight rises, as if
to leap the ocean, and then plunges in
with a great splutter and splash that
vets the bare legs of the colored boy
on his back. He churns the water into
foam about him and whirls suddenly as
if for a true start. My lady goes in a
step at time, and draws back coyly
from each threatening wave. She knows
better than to plunge, and is coaxed,
not driven. If she is only tinid she
hangs her head and shivers, with the
feet all punched up beneath her. If she
is very brave she goes out into deep
waters and turns her tail to the comb
ers.
It is great sport for the crowd in the
pavilion when the water is full of
horses. The spectators applaud when
a groom, in spite of his shouting and
yanlling, is carried out upon dry land,
and if rider gets a bucletful of water
in his face they howl with delight.
When the bath is over and the wet
clothes are stripped off, the flyers roll
and wallow in the dry sand. They
shake themselves, leap playfully to the
end of their bridle-reins and roll again.
Twenty roll at once, and when they
spring up they send the sand flying in
every direction. They are athletes, ey-
cry one of them, and as graceful as
kittens in their horseplay. When they
are finally ridden off to their stables
they don't need a bracer to keep them
from catching cold.

gencies One day a message came to
me at the barracks bidding me report

and receive orders. l went to the sta

A man approached me and addressed
me as Meyer. / said: my name is

You are selling whisky. l am selling
wine. We will go to such and such a
city and call on Mr.. So-and-so and Mr..
So-and-so, and try and sell them some
goods" We went and made an effort
to sell whisky by the sample, but didn't
sell any, of course.
Then we proceeded to another city
Ind tried to sell goods there. After we
had visited several merchants and had
returned to the hotel my companion
said to me: eve will take walk and go
across the bridge. We will not return
together. On your way back you will
pace the bridge, and going and coming
you will keep your eyes open to OBJ

bridge"
Then for the first time / began to
have a suspicion of what was really

and leaned over the edge, looking at
| some workmen who were making holes
in the ahutments. / observed the plan
of construction from various points,
and then went on across the stream.
After awhile / started back, and on my
way l paced the bridge arch by arch.
In the engineer corps we are trained
to pace distances with great exactness.

length of it within six inches. / re-
turned to my hotel without having
made note, but with my head full of
the plan of construction. My compan-
ion joined me.
Now" said he, ''you will return to
the place from which we started and
you will make as complete descrip-
ton OF the bridge as you can and turn
it in" 1 carried out the order and
heard no more of the expedition. A
considerable time after that war came
and the German army marched to the
frontier.
As the advance drew near the bridge

fell in mass of ruins. The army halt
ed. A train of freight cars came for
ward, and from those cars was taken
the prepared material with which q new
bridge was put together in few hours,
and the army marched over the river
and into the enemy's country.
Every timber and every piece of
metal was ready for immediate use. A
new bridge had been constructed
throughout for that particular crossing.

In Asbury park the other day a clap
of thunder startled the town by reason
of its almost unparalleled loudness. 1t
did not rumble; it sounded like the dis
charge of great cannon. One lady
saw the source of all that noise, and
this is how she described it: She was

through the air a red ball not twice as
big as an average-sized Florida orange.
It was fiery red. 1t burst when it was
close to the ground, and there flew into
the surrounding air myriad darts and
shafts of many-colored flame, precisely,
she says, like one sees when a firework
bomb goes off. Then came the bang.

is thoroughly Japanese and especially
affects black and gold. Seamless at the

the back below the waist line for the in

Across each shoulder is folded a deep

Age No Drawback.

A horse trainer is authority for the
following: There is more good work
in horse above ten or twelve years old,
year for year of his life, than in anv
year under that age, always provided
that he has not been ruined or broken
down. l refer to kind and sound ami
mails. Yet no one wants to buy horse
over eight years OLD. This is because
their teeth will tell their ages up to
their eighth year, but not beyond. A
horses ninth year IS like a widows
fortieth. A great many horses are
brought here from the country when
only three or four years old. They are
really ut for nothing for fully two
years"
