Hats or in the Synagogue.

The vexed question of chats ON or
''hats off" during public worship was
settled at the annual meeting of the
Anshe Chesed congregation, at the tenn
pie on Scoville avenue. The old Jewish
custom of the male members of the con-
gregation wearing their hats during
public worship has always been in vogue
in this congregation. A number of the
younger and more progressive members
have objected to the custom, and it has
caused more or less discussion for several
years. The older members held tena-
ciously to their hats, and the younger
ones bided their time until they should
have sufficient majority converted to
their views to change the custom.
The matter was brought up at the an
nual meeting, which was very largely
attended. The hat question was dis
cussed at great length, and several very
warm speeches were made on both Sides
1t was finally put to a vote, and the
members who are opposed to wearing
hats were victorious by decided ma
jority. The decision was that hereafter
the congregation shall worship with hats
off, but those who desire to retain their
head covering will be permitted to do
so.-Cleveland Leader and Herald.

Truck Loads of Money.

Did you ever see more money than you
could carry? Comparatively few people
have, but such sight may be often wit
messed in the lower end of the city. AS
an incident to draw crowd the loading
of truck with silver is very potent. A
custom house truck stopped in front of
one of the Broadway safe deposit insti-
tutions yesterday and men wheeled out
handcarts loaded with silver bars which
others tossed into the truck. They looked
very pretty-the bars, I mean-and
crowds of people stopped during the pro-
cess and passed remarks upon their
weight and value.
1t wasn't money, of course, but it Will
be soon after Uncle Sam gets possession
of it, and very snug fortune it will
make, too. in silver dollars.-New York

= rurtle,s Nest.

In the town of Patten, u place distant
from tidewater over ninety miles, there
is a great curiosity, known as the 'stur-
ties nest" For fifty-two years turtle
has come annually to the nest to deposit
her eggs. Over half century ago she
selected her nest, then in an open field,
but now in a yard in front of resi-
dence. A relative of the owner of the
house branded the date 1841 upon the
turtles back, and it can be plainly
traced now She comes about the same
date each year, and her first few DAYS
are passed in inspecting the ancient
nest, the yard and surroundings.
Later she digs a hole in the ground
and there deposits her eggs. This year
she left forty-two eggs, but as many
were carried away and the others often
disturbed, only about a dozen of the
eggs Matched out. The owner of the
house has ten of the little turtles, none
more than twice the size of a postage
stamp. The old turtle always departs
after laying the eggs; the warm sand
and sun serve as an incubator
This turtle has been seen at the Drew
Dead Water on the Mattawamkeag
river, fully fifty miles away from the
nest. Her weight varies from thirty to
thirty five pounds, and it is said she was
as large when branded as she is now.
Each June she comes to Patten, and is
always welcomed by old and young

A Bad Place for Wrecks.

When a vessel sinks in the channel
through Lake George fats, near Sault
st. Marie, there is plenty of trouble.
The value of the vessels delayed by a
wreck there recently is estimated at
$14, ,000, 900, and that of their cargoes at
81, 100000. At one time seventy lake
steam vessels were anchored on the east
side of the blockade and sixty on the
west side, and new channel had to be
cut through the flats to allow them to
continue their ways. Four dredges
worked day and night to make channel
700 feet in length, go in width and so in
depth. 1t is said that the only way to
prevent accidents like that which caused
the wreck is to limit the speed of vessels
in the channel. There was the same
trouble at the ST. Clair flats until men
were stationed at the ends of the chan
mel to time the vessels.-New York Sun.

A Successor of Newton.

Sir George Gabriel Stokes, who is till
he retires senior member for Cambridge
university, is one of the most distin-
guished mathematicians of the day. He
is an old man in the seventies" below
the medium height, with snow white
hair and very high forehead. Sir
George is president of the Royal society,
an Office which was held by the famous
Sir Isaac Newton, who was also member
for the University of Cambridge. These
two positions, which have never been
held by one individual since the time of
Newton, are now, after the lapse of up
ward of two centuries, happily combined
in Sir George.
To carry the analogy further, Newton
never once spoke in parliament, while
Sir George, although an assiduous sitter
out of debates, has during his five years
of parliamentary life addressed the
house on two or three occasions only.
1t is not generally known that Sir George
Stokes is an Irishman. His father, a
distinguished graduate of Trinity col
lege, was rector of Screen, about seven
miles from the town of Sligo.-London

How Maine Firemen managed.

The firemen of Caribou, Me-, were
called upon to perform a feat rather out
of the usual line of duty. The bridge
across the Aroostook river connecting
the two sections of the village burned,
and although the adjacent buildings in
the main village were saved those on
the opposite side of the river, near the
end of the bridge, took fire and were
threatened with. destruction. All of the
fire apparatus was in the main village,
the bridge was destroyed and there
were no boats at hand. Accordingly
the best swimmers in the fire company
were selected to swim the river with
a'line of hose. They accomplished the
feat and got across just in time to pre-
vent the destruction of SO, 900 worth of
property. Philadelphia Ledger.

A Hermit with Millions.

The coming novelist who will dissect
American character and hold it up to
the wonder or admiration of the world
will find something worth studying in
the life of the hermit of New York and
Newport who has Just died and left
behind him the $40, 900 he ached to
take away with him beyond the grave
For ten years Edmund H. Schermer-
horn had lived in literally palatial
mansion at Newport, with his gates
locked against all but his physician,
surrounded only by servants, and living
in parsimony which contrasted strangely
with his once spendthrift ways. In my
boyhood had heard of him as the gay
est of gay young men about town, and
afterward as entertaining the fashiona-
bic world at lavish expense in his
Twenty-third street residence.
Then, after awhile, he wearied of so
cial pleasures, drew more and more
within his cell, became recluse and
scholar, and finally grew utterly unso-
cial. A bachelor of seventy-five when
he died on Thursday, he belonged to
one of the oldest of New York families.
Why the wild and luxurious bachelor
leader of society became transformed
into the unsocial recluse is one of the
secrets at which his friends can only
guess-they allege disappointment in
love-and which the novelist can spell
out to suit himself. .-Philadelph Rec

The Bursting of a Rig wheel.

The bursting of the great fly wheel
or perhaps more properly the driving
wheel-in one of the mills of Manches-
ter, N. H, illustrates the ever present
danger hidden in the use of modern ma
chinery. There does not appear to have
been carelessness or even an accident
which usual caution or foresight could
have prevented. The automatic COVER
nor regulating the supply of steam to
the engine seems to have become clogged,
the engine suddenly speeded up and the
great wheel was set whirling at pace
that tore it into pieces by the enormous
centrifugal force thus generated, scatter
ing the entire building over the country
round about and crushing and wounding
the work people. This wheel was forty
feet in diameter, with face nine feet
wide, weighing ffty-fve tons and turn
ing, when run at the usual and safe rate,
sixty revolutions per minute.-Boston

a wonderful Underground Lake.

An underground lake has been. dis
covered three miles from Genesse, Ida.
It was found by well digger. At a
depth of sixteen feet clear, pure lake
water ran out over the surface for a
time, then settled back to the earth's
level. The most curious part of it is
that fish we're brought to the surface on
the overflow. They have peculiar ap,
pearance and are sightlesss, indicating
that they are underground fish. The
spring has attracted much attention,
and many farmers in the vicinity fear
that their farms will drop into the lake.

rennxson AT AIdworth.

Lord Tennyson's stay at Aldworth is
now drawing toward a close, but he will
not be returning to Farringford for some
three or four weeks. He has not for
some years been SO strong and well as he
is at this moment, and there is no doubt
(as heard friend of his remark) that
the regular periodical changes from the
mild climate of the Isle of Wight to the
bracing air of a country lying 800 feet or
more above the sea level have had much
to do with his amazing vigor of body
and mind. He has as usual been con-
stantly entertaining visitors from his

To send Flowers by relerrapt,.

Half dozen florists met at the Sher-
man house recently and tackled the task
of circling the earth with flowers. That
is, they planned a scheme which pro-
vides for a chain of correspondents
throughout the world to act together as
one concern for the purpose of executing
orders given in any part of the globe for
anything in floral arrangement from a
tiny buttonhole bouquet to an elaborate
bank of roses. In order to effect this
purpose an organization known as the
Florists International Telegraph Deliv-
cry association was started in Canada
last August.
A majority of the board of directors
do business in the United States. The
gathering was attended by H. S. Lie
brecht, of New York; G. B. Whitnall, of
Milwaukee, and Frank Huntsman, of
Cincinnati, all three members of the
board of directors. G. L. Grant and
Joseph Curran represented the Chicago
florists. "Our purpose .is," said Mr.. Lie
brecht, ''to make it easy for a man in
Chicago, New York or Timbuctoo to
convey bouquet to a lady in any part
of the world, with lightning speed, with
out starting it from the point where he
himself may be.
'For instance, take person here. in
Chicago having friend arriving or leav-
ing on an ocean STEAMER in New York
He simply has to walk into the store of
our agent here and give his order. The
order is at once telegraphed to another
agent of the association in the place
where the flowers are to be delivered,
and there you are. We have come to
Chicago to perfect our rules and appoint
an agent. Chicago Herald.

I met gentleman at the Union depot
the other night who had just returned
from Kearney county. He said: Il took
up claim three weeks ago and built my
shanty with more care than is usually
taken with them. 1 built bedstead of
boards in the corner and laid in a stock
of canned goods and dried meat. The
first night after it was completed 1
crawled into bed and fell into a deep
sleep. About midnight was awakened

cracked whip, yelled Git upr and
straightway felt the motion of heavy
wagon. was but half awake, but re-
allied that my bed was tipped to an
angle of 40 degs: and that everything
was moving. Irealized that my shanty,
supposed to be unoccupied, was being
stolen with Inc in it. 1 grasped my re-
volver and emptied it at the walls and
in answer heard the sound of scattering
feet. crawled out of the small win
dow and drove back about 100 yards to
the site of the house, where 1 made the
horses fast and posted myself under the
wagon. The next day 1 drove two miles
to my nearest neighbor and soon had his
opinion and that of several other farm
ers. They all said the horses and wagon
were mine beyond doubt, as no one
would ever claim them."-Kansas City

walking Back to the Big City.

Wrecks of the early winter theatrical
season are already seen in New York
managers whose ventures have failed
after a few nights out of town, tired
looking actors who seem to have walked
home, and bedraggled looking women,
whose faces tell plainly of their disap-
pointments. 1t is the old story of poor
plays, poor houses and the refusal of the
ghost to do his weekly little pedestrian
act. And yet in the main the theatrical
outlook is very good, for with big crops
comes plenty of money and an army of
people to be amused. But it is the sur
vival of the fttest. The poor plays are
not patronized, and the managers of
many come tos grief. There are many
familiar faces on the Rialto today, men
and women who started off a month
ago filled with hope. Some of them will
be glad to shovel snow for living be-
fore spring.-Foster Coates in Mail and

Came Back After Forty-one Years.

A Missouri man left his wife and went
to Australia forty-one years ago, where
it was reported he died. A few days
ago, however, he unexpectedly returned
home with large fortune. There was
a joyous meeting between husband and
wife so long separated, but once more
happily reunited. Strange to say, his
wife had lived single all these many
years with the dim hope of once more
seeing her husband. They are both quite
aged now, being upward of seventy
years.-Exchange.
