Trimming Without Hats.

Women have a great many ways OF
"possing" the impossible, but one of the
things that is denied to most of them is
to make a home trimmed hat that will
look like the work of milliner. They
understand just how it ought to look,
but when they come to work out theii
understanding through their fingers
the fingers show their lack of education
and fail to give those deft airy touches
that lend the proper air of distinction to
headgear.
A shrewd milliner in New York has
put forward the first bit of real helpful
ness to women who must do their own
hat trimming, but are nevertheless not
desirous of having that fact proclaimed
to the world. In his showcases he has
for sale knots of ribbons and velvets of
all hues made up with the very newest
twirl and twist, securely stitched and
ready to be fastened on the hat or bon
net. Some of them are designed for the
only decoration, and some need feathers
or other ornaments to complete them

Is Iron Rus. a Cause of Fireq

When oxide of iron is placed in con-
tact with timber excluded from the at
mosphere, and. aided byRa slightly in
creased temperature, the oxide will part
with it's oxygen, and is converted into
very finely divided particles of metallic
iron having such an affinity for oxygen
that, when afterward exposed to the ac-
ton Of the atmosphere from any cause,
oxygen is SO rapidly absorbed that these
particles become suddenly red hot, and
if in sufficient quantity will produce a
temperature far beyond the ignition
point Of dry timber.
Wherever iron pipes are employed for
the circulation Of any heated medium,
whether hot water, hot air or steam, and
the pipes are allowed to become rusty,
in close contact with timber, it is only
necessary to suppose that under these
circumstances the particles of metallic
iron become exposed to the action of the
atmosphere-and this may occur from
the mere expansion or contraction of the
pipes-in order to account for many of
the fires which periodically take place
at the commencement of the winter

The Ice Men.

The wholesale dealers in ice are again
worried, as they have been off and on
for the past ten years. Their experience
of two years ago has taught them that
if ice does not make in the Hudson by
the 1st of January it is not likely to
make at all during the season, The
agents of these companies are securing
the entire country to the far north of
New York and New England and have
contracted for ice privileges on Sara
toga, Lake Champlain and Lake George,
and have been compelled to pay pretty
stiff prices therefor.
Meanwhile the making of artificial ice
fourishes, and at the great hotels and
offices of the railroad companies, which
are beginning to use it, it is giving
greater satisfaction than natural ice,
partly because there is less wastage,
partly because is comes in blocks of as
certained weight and partly because it
is made of distilled water. Some of the
natural ice dealers are of the opinion
that it will ultimately supplant natural
ice harvesting, and it is sure to do SO if
the climatic change toward mildness of
season is to be regarded as permanent.

Fell seventy-five Feet and Lived.

When the Owl train on the West Penn
railroad left Blairsville Monday even
ing Conductor Jim McNulty had among
his passengers one Alfred Anderson,
who lives near Social Hall bridge, about
two and a half miles west of town.
When nearing the flag station at the
bridge Mr.. Anderson arose from his
seat, went to the platform of the car
and stepped off before the train had
come to STOP The rear car had not
fully cleared the bridge, and when An
derson landed from the moving train he
could not recover from the impetus
given him and went over into the Cone
maugh river below, dropping fully sew
enty-five feet
Fortunately for him the river at this
point is deep, there being about fifteen
feet of water The trainmen and pas
sengers were Mortified. Conductor Nc
Nulty and Brakemen Kelley and Beat
ty went back to look for him. Brake
man Charley Beatty held his lantern
aloft and called into the darkness below,
not expecting to receive an answer. To
the surprise of everybody present, An
derson answered that he would be all
right just as soon as he could swim out.
He reached the shore and scrambled up
the bank, none the worse except for a
slight scratch on one of his wrists. .-Indi-

The tournament at Pasadena, on
Washington birthday, was an enjoya-
BILE occasion. The day was perfect, and
large crowd was in attendance at the
pretty court on Walnut street.
There was only one event: Gentle
mems singles, and entries were restrict
ed to three from each club.
By this wise plan all the games were
easily disposed of in time to allow the
players to reach home the same evening.
The general class Of play was not up to
the standard, several of the "cracks"
showing up badly, due, no doubt, to
the enforced lack of practice occasioned
by the rain of the past month.
Artie Bumiller, the infant phenome-
non, was in shocking bad "forn," going
Cawston, whom he defeated last De-
cember. The latter, however, played
his usual steady game and succeeded
in landing the first prize with
apparently not having to exert himself.

Monica; Barry, Chouteau, Chambers

The ladies of the club prepared an
elegant lunch, which was greatly en-
joyed oy all.
AS stated above, Cawston took the
first prize and Wallace the second.
Probably the greatest surprise of the
whole tournament was the game put up
cool, steady game, which, when per-
fected little, will make him a danger
GUS candidate for championship honors.
After the finish of the finals the
prizes were presented by Mrs. Chou
teau.
The prizes consisted of a gold and
silver medal, beautifully engraved with
pendants of the clubs colors, orange
and white, enameled on the faces. They
were the gift of the retiring president,
Mr.. Summers.
A large party of tennis votaries and
their friends left for Riverside this
morning.
The games will doubtless prove very
interesting both to players and specta-
tors.
A large number of tourists have ex-
pressed an intention of visiting River
side the coming week to see the beauties
of this far-famed spot and also take in
the tournament.

Better Off as He Is.

Max O'Rell has been guilty of saying
that he hopes the next time he is born it
may be as an American woman. And a
writer in The Woman's Tribune answers
that if he were an American woman
now and had to work for half pay or
less because of his sex, and if he mar
ried and should find himself owning
neither his person, his children, nor the
proceeds of his daily toll, and if he
should find himself unable to have any
voice in shaping the laws which touched
him in every relation of life, being
taxed without representation and gov
erned without his consent, to say moth
ing of the dress tyranny he would be
subject to, he might wish he were Max
O'Rell again.

Methods of London Thieves.

At the next assizes in London the trial
of a new kind of thieves promises to be
interesting. Their method was to visit
unoccupied houses in the outskirts of
the city in the daytime. They drove up
in an elegant carriage, and when they
found nobody at home the house was
marked. In the night they came in a
wagon, broke into the house and carted
off their booty. When it turned out that
they were mistaken and that parties
were in the house they simply offered to
sell photographs and albums. One of
the members rode a bicycle and took his
notes of the houses that were good for
robbing. Mr.. and Mrs. Clarke were the
leaders of the gang. They lived in one
of the suburbs, were highly respected
by all their neighbors and were extern
sively invited to tea parties, dinners, etc.

that the fourfold man-the mental, the
spiritual, the social and the physical
should be developed. This cost
ly equipment was dedicated to
health. He enumerated the advan-
tages the association offered to
its members-advantage in the shape of
evening classes, entertainments, baths
and physical culture worth upwards of
$50 and which any man of good moral
character could obtain for $40 year.
After the short address an exhibition
of gymnastic work was given by the
students of the state normal school and
by members of the Athletic club. The
dumb bell and Indian club drills, wrest-
ling, fencing, pyramid building, and
tumbling were received with hearty ap-
plause and spoke well for the careful
training of Professor Bessing, most of
those taking part being his pupils.
Arrangements have been made for ply
sical examinations by competent phy-
sicians without expense to members.
The opening was very auspicious and
will doubtless result in large influx of
members to the association. The mis-
taken impression prevails among many
that man must be church member
in order to join. While only members
of churches have voice in the manage
ment of the association, any man of
good moral character may unite with
it and avail himself of all it's advantages.

arrested and released on bail. His law

A Female Traveller.

An odd tramp who lately began her
wanderings in Connecticut is Catherine
Walker, a bent old woman, eighty-three
years old, who wears a gingham dress
and deep black hood. She has a
wrinkled, not unpleasant face, and looks
like any aged farmers wife in the coun-
try towns. She came into Norwich from
Willimantic a day or two ago. She is
not crazy. She is a professional tramp.
Catherine is an excellent walker, but
she prefers to ride on a railroad if she
can get county selectman to forward
her in that way.
She says that she first started on the
road from birmingham, and has crossed
Massachusetts, and Connecticut several
times. She came into Willimantic early
in the week, staid there awhile and
then told the selectmen of the town that
she had lots of friends in Norwich who
would be glad to see her. So the select
men bought her ticket for Norwich
and put her or board of a south bound
train. She is such kind, motherly
looking old woman that she had no
trouble in borrowing dollar or two of
people on the street in this town. After
few days she informed Selectman
Lillibridge that she guessed she would
go back to Willimantic. The select
man accordingly bought railroad
ticket for her, and she went back to
that borough on the first northward
bound train. No doubt the Willimantic
authorities will buy another ticket for
her and send her on her travels. Nor

Why American Girls Succeed in England.
The alleged mystery as to how it is
possible for American girls to be so sue
cessful in English society is after all no
mystery, but simply owing to their self
assertion. They appraise themselves
highly, insist upon attention and decline
to be ignored, all without the sacrifice
of their dignity. The English girl does
nothing of the sort, but remains to the
Englishman something better than his
dog, a little dearer than his horse.'
have stopped at the country house of an
English peer and seen twelve English
gentlemen ignore the existence of twelve
English ladies at dinner every evening
for week. These men hunted all day
talked nothing but hunt all dinner and
played cards and billiards all evening
The fair sex were apparently part of
the furniture of the establishment and
nothing more. 1t was pitiable to see
them try to appear interested in the talk
about the days sport, asking timid ques-
tions and getting snubby answers.
This party was afterward joined by
an American girl. After being there
two days she told me she would not
stand being ignored. She would make
the men talk to her and stay little
while in the drawing room after dinner
and she did. The next day when
they began ON their old subject
she said laughingly: "Oh, have such
happy thought! Suppose you men
stop harping on horses and hunting and
make yourselves agreeable to us. know
you are all blase and dying for a new
sensation, and this will be very strange
and weird to YOU" This speech simply
electrified the front de bGufs seated
around the table. They laughed, looked
at her with interest and from that time
on the women had a delightful time

A Novel Mes,neric Trial.

Once more the Wolverhampton mag.
istrates have adjourned the hearing of
the case against Harry Moores, alias
"Dr." Vint, the mesmerist. Moores gave
an exhibition in that town of his alleged
powers of hypnotizing, but, according to
the charge of the town clerk, who is
conducting the prosecution, the whole
business was fraud concocted between
the accused and certain confederates.
One of the hypnotist's subjects deposed
that he went every night and received
payment for his performances A jour
nalist who was present deposed that he
saw hypnotized persons lying on the
floor who ''winked at each other" and a
police constable stated that when he
proposed to stick pin into one of these
supposed unconscious persons ito see if
he was really in a meslneric Sleep" the
operator threatened Ito have him locked
up
On the other hand. DR.. Vint's legal
adviser proposed, by way of practical
test of his clients powers, to give an ex-
hibition in court with one who had been
mesInerized before. When this was de-
clined he offered then and there to mes
merize the magistrates clerk-a proposal
which, though it caused laughter, ap-
pears to have been deemed equally
unacceptable. The case is exciting
much interest in the town on account OF
its novelty. The town clerk himself has
observed that he did not know whether
there had ever been similar case in a
court of justice, but Wolverhampton
