Odd-LOOking English Hats.

describes a pleasing variety of new
fashioned headgear-hats perking up
like the spear or shaft of temple; hats
flat and broad on the crown, like the
battlements of a house, and round
crowns with bands of every color This
variety of shape consorted with an equal
variety of material-silk, velvet, taffeta,
sarsenet, wool and ga fine hair, which
they call beaver, fetched from beyond
the seas" Whose had not hat of velvet
or hat of taffeta was held of no account

that "every serving man, countryman
or other, even all indifferently, did wear
of these hats"

The Tithingman.

The most grotesque, the most extraor-
binary, the most highly coored figure
in the dull New England church life was
the tithingmau. This fairly burlesque
creature impresses me always with
sense OF unreality, of incongruity, of
strange happening, like jesting clown
in procession of monks, like a strain
of low comedy in a sober religious
drama of early New England Puritan
life; so out of place, so unreal is this
fussy, pompous, restless tithingman,
with his fantastic wand of office, fringed
with dangling Notwithstanding, bustl-
ing, strutting, peering around the quiet
meeting house, prodding and rapping
the restless boys, waking the drowsy
sleepers; for they slept in country
churches in the seventeenth century,
notwithstanding dread of fierce correc-
ton, just as they nod and doze and
softly puff, unawakened and unre-
buked, in village churches throughout
New England in the nineteenth CEN
fury. This absurd and distorted type
of the English church beedle, this
colonial sleep banisher, was equipped
with long staff, heavily knobbed at
one end, with which he severely and
pitilessly raped the heads of the too
sleepy men, and the too wide-awake
boys. From the other end of this wand
of Office depended long foxtail, or
hare's foot, which he softly thrust in
the faces of the sleeping Priscllas,
Charitys and Hopestills, and which
gently brushed and tickled them into
reverent but startled wakefulness.
One Jealous but too impetuous
tithingman in his pious ardor Of office
inadvertently applied the wrong end,
the end with the heavy knob, the mas
culine end, to drowsy matron's head; ;
and for this severely ungallant mistake
he was cautioned by the ruling elders to
thereafter use "more distressing and
less haist." Another watchful
Newbury awakener raped on the
head holding man who protested in
dignantly that he was wide awake, and
was only bowling in solemn assent and
approval of the minister's arguments.
Roger Scott of Lynn, in 1913, struck
the tithingman, who thus roughly and
suddenly awakened him; and poor
sleepy and bewildered Roger, who is
branded through all times as "a COM
mon sleeper at the publick exercise, :"
was, for this most naturally resentful
act, but also most shockingly grave
offense, soundly whipped as warning
to keep awake and not to strike back in
meeting.-Alice Morse Earle

THERE is more catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and, by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proved catarrh to be consti-
tutional disease, and it therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. j.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
1t is taken internally in doses of from
ten drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts di-
rectly on the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system. They offer one

The Big Russian AerOlite.

One of the largest aeroltes ever
known is said to have recently fallen
into the Caspian sea, at no great dis
lance from the Peninsula of Apsheron
neck of land which runs into the
Caspian and forms the eastern point of
the Caucasian chain. 1t is a peculiar
region, sulphur and other inflammabe
matter being mixed up with the soil.
1t is known as the place of the sacred
flame, and it was from this region the
fire worshipers of Asia drew their SUI
perstition. One is tempted to say that
the great aerolte in its descent revealed
natural preference. 1t sought SYM
pathetic region, if it did make mis-
take in finding watery bed. The stone
is said to project about twelve feet
above the surface of the sea, which at
that place is of considerable depth. In
falling, we are told, it made tremen-
dous noise and illuminated land and
sea for miles around, throwing out vast
clouds OF steam when it reached the
water. 1t is natural that scientists
should take an interest in the phenome-
non; and it is reasonable to conclude
that at no distant day we shall have as
the result of their examination full and
satisfactory reports.
In times gone by these meteoric
stones were regarded with superstitious
reverence. AT Emesa, in Syria, the
sun was worshiped under the form of a
black stone, said to have fallen from
heaven. The holy stone-the Kaaba-
at Mecca has similar history. So has
the great stone of the pyramid of
Cholula, in Mexico. Latlerly, how
ever, science has stripped these objects
OF much OF their mystery. 1t is now gen.
orally admitted that the stones are of
planetary origin, not of lunar origin, as
was at one time conjectured, and that
their luminosity is the result of the
friction occasioned by their rapid mo-
ton through the resisting atmosphere.
1t has been calculated that, setting aside
the resistance of air, an initial velocity

A Wonder In Penmanship.

Among the curiosities preserved by
the Minnesota Historical society is a
Autographed copy of an engrossment of
the emancipation proclamation. The
engrosser, one W. II. Pratt, of Daven-
port, Ia, was so very skillful in his
manipulations of the pen that he sue
ceeded, by careful and exact shading of
the letters, in producing very excel
lent portrait of Abraham Lincoln, the
author of the famous document, in the
center of the copy. In other words the
lettering itself is made to form por-
trait of Mr.. Lincoln. There were prob
ably large number Of them originally
struck off, but copies of it are now very
rare. AS specimen of penwork it is
certainly very unique.

A ISIS he took and n backward look,
And her heart grew suddenly lighter;
A trifle, you say, to color day,
Yet the dull gray morn seemed brighter.
For hearts are such that a tender touch
May Danish look of sadness;
A small, bright thing can make us sing
But frown will check our gladness.
The cheeriest ray along our way
Is the little act of kindness,
And the keenest sting some careless thing
That was done in moment of blindness.
We can bravely face life in home where
strife
No foothold can discover,
And be lovers still If we only will,
Though youths bright days are over.
All, sharp as swords cut the unkind words
That are far beyond recalling,
When face lies hid meath a coffin lid,
And bitter tears are falling,
We fain would give the lives we live
To undo our idle scorning.
Then let us not miss the smile and kiss
When we part in the light of morning.

Beautiful thoughts make a beautiful
soul, and beautiful soul makes beautiful
face"
Once 1 knew a little girl,
Very plain;
You might try her hair to curl,
All in vain;
On her cheek no tints of rose
Paled and blushed, or sought repose;
She was plain.
But the thoughts that through her brain
Came and went,
AS recompense for pain,
Angels sent:
So full many beauteous thing,
In her young soul blossoming
Gave content.
Every thought was full of grace,
Pure and true;
And in time the homely face
Lovelier grew;
With heavenly radiance bright,
From the souls reflected light
Shining through.
SO 1 tell you, little child,
Plain or poor,
If your thoughts are undefiled,
You are sure
OF the loneliness Of worth:
And this beauty not OF earth
Will endure.
