CHARACTER IN WEARING A HAT

There is a great deal Of character in
the way man wears his hat, says
London writer. If he wears it per-
fectly straight he has a correspond
inc straightforwardness of character.
He is a man to be relied steady,
husiness-like and with well balanced
temperament.
If hat slopes at the back SO that
the brim almost touches the neck, its
wearer has good brain power; it
slopes at the back because its owner
is without strong animal propensities,
which are situated at the back Of the
head and prop the hat up, SO that
man whose hat tits over his nose has
more animality than intellectually.
The man who places his hat on one
side is, in vulgar parlance, "cocky'
and self assertive. He has a big opin-
ion of himself, and will support it with
his fists, too. He is generally sharp
character; you won't take him in, but
unless you are extremely careful, he
is very likely to take you in! He
can handle the billiard cue, is partial
to cards and likes to have "little bit"
on a horse about which he thinks he
knows more than any man breathing.
Then there are some men whose
hats are always too large for them,
and were it not for their ears would
pretty we'll smother them. Such men
are usually as much wrapped up in
their hats. They are OF q philosophic
cast Of mind, and live a good deal out
of the world, for they are generally
trying to solve some mighty problem
mighty to them-that not one per
son in a thousand cares an atom about.
Other men go to the opposite ex-
IRENE, for their hats are invariably
too small for them, land rejUst perch
ed on the top Of their heads, the own
ers Of which are mincing, affected in
dividuals, with, as a rule, an inordi-
nate love OF dress and any amount of
self esteem.
The man who throws his hat on bis
head anyhow is a careless, happy go
lucky, INDECENT character. He gener-
ally has his hands in his pockets, and
you can see any number OF his genus
loafng outside public houses ana
lounging at the street corners.

There Is a Prospect That the Present
vexatious Bill Will be Amended.
Special to the Jersey Citv Nerus.
TRENTON, Feb. 2, 1893.-A committee
from the Building and Loan ASSOCIATE on
League Of New Jersey appeared before
the Judiciary Committee last night in ref
erence to the Potts Mechanics Lien bill.
The gentlemen OF the committee were
Senator Marsh. George Law. of Paterson;
John M. Henderson, OF Woodbury.; Wall
NJ. Barringer, of Camden, and Secretary
George Forman, of Newark.
They asked that the Potts bill as al
ready amended be changed slightly by
the elimination of tine last four lines of
Section 2. reading:-"Which notice must
describe the land so that they may read
lily be identified and filed in the office Of
the Clerk of the county prior to the doing
of any work or the furnishing of any ma
terial by the person giving such notice"
They also want the words "1n writing"
inserted in the line relative to the giving
of q notice to the owner,
This. it is claimed, will maket the bill OF

Committee said that they represented

they said. would so chan ge the Stull law
as to make it sensibly convenient for the
contractor to live up to the law. Under
that law the contractor had to get u re-
lease from the material a whether he
had paid or not. By the change sug-
gested he will only have to get a release
from those who have not been paid. He
must also make an affidavit that he has
paid all claims o 'furnished releases, and
this will be a bar from any other liens.
The Committee seemed inclined to favor
the changes, and the bill will probably be
amended in that way, and reported to the
House. The Building and Loan men will
not fight it in that form, though they
would gladly see the Stull law entirely
wiped out
The Cole bill limiting the time for filing
a lien to six months was advanced to
third reading in the House..

The firm of Messrs. JoUREEAy & BCRNHAM, of
Brooklyn, Importers and Dealers in Dry Goods,
was established in January, 1874, by Mr.. Henry
+. Journeay and Mr.. Lyman S. Burnham. In
the following year Mr.. Hugh Boyd became a
partner. and the firm remained unchanged until
the death of MIR. Journeay. a year ago, necessi-
tated a reorganization. and its conversion into a
corporation was accoInpl shed.
The reputation OF the firm Tor honorable deal
ing and for the high class of goods which it
hand les, has always been recognized, and its
credit ana that of tho Company succeeding it, is
the highest accorded by the Commercial Agen-
cies of the country. IL has over $1,000 patrons,
not only in Brooklyn, but throughout the Nsw
England States, New York, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania and Maryland, AND extending as far
South as Texas, and as far West as Iowa.
Its career has been one of continued prosper
ity, the sales for upwards of fortv years
past B. aving mite tn over 81, $50, 600
per pnum. For the three months ending
December 81, ls9l-the first complete quarter of
the corpor~tion-i gross business amounted to
1886, 800. Z. being STl,943.i8 greater than
the business of the firm during the same period
in the preceding yer: The net profits for the
rate of 8 per cent. upon tle Preferred
stock. 12 per cont. upon the Common
stock, and a surplus equal to 5 11-IN per cent.
upon both, making in all I3 11-10O per cent.
upon the Preferred stock. and II 11-i0o
par cent. upon the Common Stock. 1t is,
however, expected that the business will show u
much greater increase after March !, upon
which date the Company will remove from its
present limited and inconveniently located
promises on Atlantic Avenue to its new and
commodious building now nearly completed
az the junction of Fulton street and Tlatbush
avenue. This site. was selected after due
consideration, and it is believed to be the
most advantageous location in the City of Brook
Ign for a dry goods business. 1t is reached by
seven different lines of street cars, is opposite
the station of both Elevated Railroads and with
in two blocks of the Long Island Railroad sta
ton. whereas the pre- sent location is reached by
but two lines OF street cars The removal is in
response to a popular demand. and universal
assurances of approval have Leen received of
the contemplated change.
The Company is managed, under the control
of its Board of Directors, by the surviving
members of the late firm, aidel by its well
known, reliable and experienced staff of en-
pioyes. Messls. Lyman S. Burnham and Hugh
Boyd aud Mr.. John NJ. Conklin, for many years
associated with the late firm, have entered into
an agreement with the Company to remain in its
service until July LIST, 1896, and for such longer
period as their services may be required.
The stock now offered is the Lalance of that
issued by the Company to acquire the interest OF
the deceased partner. T he eight per cent stock
which was offered in July last was largely over
subscribed, and was allotted pro rata among
nearly six hundred applicants. 1t is now quoted
LOG ex dividend bid, with no stock offered.
