Effect of the Campaign Hats.

Just what effect the red preva-
lence Of the campa:-...! mats will
have upon the fashions &. -! and win
ter it is difficult TO determine. The
shape is the exact imitation Of the ultra
fashionable bell crowned tall hat, that
London swaggerdom is wearing with
the long tailed frock coat. 1t is the
shape that was confidently looked for by
the American men of fashion who were
about ready to adopt it.
Whether the campaign will commend
it for its becomingness to the extent of
reproduction in black silk tall hats the
coming winter, or whether the very pop
ular approval will kin it for the fine
trade, remains to be seen. 1t does seem
pity that the latter result should en-
sue, for this really distinguished style
has been several seasons impending, and
seemed certain of acceptance for 1929.

A French Scientists Project.

N. Francois Deloncle, a French sa-
want, and deputy for the Bases Apes,
has marvellous project in hand which
he hopes to see completed in time TO as
tonish mankind at the Paris exhibition
Of 1900. Though the moon is 240. GGQ
miles distant from the earAh. N. De-
loncle thinks he can construct an appa.-
ratUs which Will enable US to examine
that luminary at very close quarters.
The idea has been expOunded by the
author before French scientific society.
and u. Deloncle says, in substance, that
the only obstacle to close observation
of celestial bodies is the relative inper-
lection of instruments. and that all that
is required is an enlargement and inl-
provement Of the present instruments.
Astronomers, says N. Deloncle, have
reckoned that the image of the moon
can be brought quite close to the earth
by means Of a crystal mirror eight me-
tiers in diameter, but which. owing to
the thickness required, would weigh
about eight tons. He has consulted va
nous opticians in Paris and they are
prepared to execute the work before the
year 1900.
There remains, however. the question
of the structure which would be required
to hold this gigantic mirror, and upon
this point NJ. Maurice Loewy, a dis
tinguished French astronomer, says that
while in principle NJ. Deloncle's scheme
is possible there are enormous difficult
ties In the way of its realization, the
chief of which, SO far as the exhibition
is concerned. is that the apparatus must
be erected on a mountain about two
miles in height in order to secure the
proper atmospheric conditions. II this
and other difficulties were surmounted,
says N. Loewy, there would be some
very remarkable results, for it would be
possible to clearly distinguish objects
about the size of four story house.

While the sun was trying 10 shine
yesterday afternoon woman came ont
Of q little house that stands almost un-
der the shadow of the Clark street via
duct, damned mp against the ware
houses, the railroad tracks and the
hmpid river. She was a woman of girth
and pulled aloud as she carried basket
OF damp washing that bumped on her
knees.
Setting the basket down she lifted a
coil of rope and looked about for q mo-
ment. as if selecting something to lasso.
One end of the rope she fastened to a
nail in the corner of her dingy kitchen.
The other end she twisted about tele-
graph pole thirty feet away. Then she
strung the line with sopping hannels
and few white articles that dripped
with indigo.
When the line was crowded full the
basket was not empty. There were no
more telegraph poles. The slack of the
line would not reach back to the house.
On the side track stood two freight cars
that had been there since Saturday even
ing. The woman Embossed the rope
from the telegraph pole and found that
it would reach the end of the car. She
tied it there. After filling her mouth
with clothespins she decorated the new
section with some white shirts and other
things that waved phantom gestures in
the smoky air. This being accom-
plished, she took small bucket and
went in the general direction of Kinzle
street.
No sooner had she disappeared than a
freight engine came backing down and
cautiously approached the two cars. A
brakeman waved his arms and there
was bump. The festoon of domestic
wear dropped until the pillow cases
dragged in the cinders. The brakeman
waved his arms again, the cars moved,
the line lifted itself, frightened, and just
as the woman came around the corner
there was a snap. The rope with its
fluttering attachments waved like the
tail of kite as the cars rolled away.
The woman was asthmatic, and gave up
the chase after a few hundred yards.
AS for the brakeman and engineer, they
did not know what had happened until
they took an inventory at way station.

Art in Abyssinia.

We found the walls of the churches
in Aloyssinia covered with pictures Of
Scriptural history and the walls of the
cathedral with the exploits of Johannes.
His victories over the Egyptians at Cor
ra and in the valley of Gundet are fully
represented in tones as Horid as those Of
advertising posters at home. The ma
tive artist does not make up for crude
ness Of color by the accuracy of his
drawing, and if these pictures have any
merit it is in the originality of their
treatment. For instance, in the cathe-
dral of Gundet, in a picture represent
ing the Israelites crossing the Red sea,
Pharaoh carries in his right hand the
latest specimen in six shooters and in
his left hand he holds pair of opera
glasses, while the Egyptian host sports
Remington rifles.
rAaa MO ~--~e--t "a feares 10 from right
to left, and in all pictures heads are full
faced, with the exception of satan and
the hated Egyptians, who are painted in
acute profile, to show their lack of hon.
esty and good faith and their inability to
look you straight In the face. It is de-
plorable fact, and one which, ladies will
say at once, only proves the ignorance
and barbarity of the Ethiopians, that
the evil spirits in these compositions are
always represented by the softer sex,
generally showing their naughtiness by
exhibiting their tongues. Frederic VII

Playing Cards in Russia.

There is only one factory in Russia
for the manufacture of playing cards.
It has monopoly of the business and
belongs to the Founding hospital. 1t is
figured that there are 0,000,000 people
in Russia who play cards, and to supply
the demand this factory puts out 5000
600 packs of cards annually. In order
to make this enormous quantity of cards
only 329 women, aged from fifteen to
twenty years, and sixty-eight men are
employed. And they are chosen amid
the sisters, wives and daughters of the
workmen at the factory. Both exterior
ly and interiorly the factory is model
of cleanliness. This is one of the essen
tial conditions of this branch of produc-
ton.
All the employees live at the factory
and earn from five to fifteen dollars a
month. They work from in the morn
ing to 6 o'clock at night, and are al
lowed two hours a day for their meals.
Besides the ordinary playing cards of
different qualities, the factory produces
annually 100, 900 packs of figured cards
for the German colonies; also $4,000
packs of miniature playing cards as
toys. The annual profit of the factory
amounts to about $s00,OO0. The card
board is supplied by the Neva paper
mill. Exchange.

A venerable Yew Tree.

In the churchyard at barley Dale is
the most venerable yew tree in the
world. Many authorities claim for it a
fabulous age, making it as much as
5000 years old. 1t is thirty-three feet in
girth, but its trunk has suffered not q
little from the modern Cloths and Van
dals who have carved their names in
the bark and employed other methods of
mutilation. The tree is now fenced
around to save it from further insult;
and "whatever may be its precise age"
says the Rev. DIR. John Charles Cox,
ssthere can be little doubt that this
grand old tree has given shelter to the
early Britons when planning the con-
struction of the dwellings that they
erected not many yards to the west of
its trunk; to the Romans who built up
the funeral pyre for their slain COM
rades just clear Of its branches; to the
Saxons, converted perchance to the true
faith by the preaching of Bishop Diuma
beneath its pleasant shade; to the
Norman masons chiseling their quaint
sculptures to form the first stone house
of prayer erected in its vicinity, and to
the host of Christian worshipers who
from that day to this have been borne
under its hoary limbs in women's arms
to the baptismal font, and then on mems
shoulders to their last sleeping place IN
the soil that gave it birth. ."-London

doubtful whether any preparation will
remove superfuous hair from the face

difficulty by electrolosis, but this is
somewhat tedious and painful and few,

preparations which will burn off all
