The cleverness Of the walters who
stand at the doors Of the dining rooms
Of the large hotels in charge Of the hats
which are left outside by the guests il
very striking. Some Of them perform
really wonderful feats Of memory in the
way Of identifying the hat Of each per
son, although they often do not see the
guest more than once, and that for only
the instant when he pauses 10 leave his
hat behind him as he enters.
At hotel on the Maine coast is a
darby who is famous among the guests
for never making "A mistake, although
sometimes the guests have tried 10 puz-
zle him by going in in groups and by
wearing hats which he has never seen.
One day one of the boarders talked with
him about this power and the waiter
said that he had acquired it by long
practice.
"And do you never make mistakes"
the gentleman inquired.
"No, sab; | don't cal'late 10 make no
mistakes" was the answer.
"And do you give every man his own
hiatt"
"Oh, sah,7 returned the waiter,
'tain't none o my business whose the
hat am. gibes 10 cherry man the hat
he gibes TO me."-Boston Courier.

The Picture Illusion.

A correspondent writes: "Almost
every careful observer of pictures must
have noticed how the eyes of portraits
appear TO follow one all over the room.
Can you account for thisY"
The illusion referred to has been ex-
planned thus: Suppose a portrait with
its face and its eyes directed straight in
front, SO as TO look at the spectator Let
a straight line be drawn through the tip
Of the nose and half way between the
eyes, which we shall call the middle
line. On each side Of this middle line
there will be the same breadth of head,
Of cheek, Of chin and Of neck, and each
iris will be in the middle Of the whole of
the eye. II we now go to one side the
apparent horizontal breadth of every
part of the head and face will be dimin-
ished, but the parts ON each side of the
middle line will be diminished equally;
and at any position, however oblique,
there will be the same breadth of face
on each side of the middle line, and the
iris will be in the center Of the whole of
the eyeball, so that heportrait preserves
all the character Of figure looking at
the spectator, and must necessarily do
so wherever he stands
In portraits the apparent motion of the
head is generally rendered iudistinct by
the canvas being imperlall!y stretched,
as the slightest concavity or convexity
entirely deforms the face when the OBJ
liquity is considerable. The deception
is therefore best seen when the painting
is executed on a fiat board, and in colors
sufficiently vivid to represent every line
in the face with tolerable distinctness at
great obliquities. Distinctness of out
line is indeed most necessary TO a salts
factory exhibition of this optical illusion.

wanten the Color to Match.

A young man from Kalamazoo was IN
Detroit not very long ago, drawn hither
by the fascinating attractions Of one Of
the brightest and best looking girls in
this City Of the Straits. The visitor was
more or less Of Kalamazoolu and the
girl didn't feel fattered by his atten-
tons, but she did the best she could
under the circumstances, In the even
ing he asked her 10 go with him TO the
ice creamery and she went.
Waiter" he said in loud and com
manding tone, "bring us two ice creams
the best you've got in the shop, mind.
The waiter bowed.
"And, waiter" said the girl in a low,
sweet voice, "bring me pistache 10 match
the young man here" and the young
man didn't know what pistache was till
he saw the color.-Detroit Free Press.

Made a Bronze Medal.

Joseph Moore, of Birmingham, a die
sinker, made his reputation by medal
in bronze four inches in diameter, Of
which few copies were struck. On one
side he showed in pretty high relief the
"Salvator Mundf" Of Leonardo da Vinci
and on the other the "Christus Con-
solator" Of AIRY Scheffer. The latter
wrote in thanks for a copy Of the work,

why the Lecture Was n Failure.

One winter Nye was at jefferson City,
and as the legislature was i'll session "A
number Of newspaper men Of the state
were there, too; and 10 show what they
deemed proper courtesy TO one Of their
number they arranged an informal re-
ception, with Nye the principal attrac-
ton, on the afternoon Of the day in the
evening Of which Bill was TO lecture,
and they expected Of him the same cor
diality and bohemianism that marks
the average writer. Nye was at the re-
ception, but he was u dead stick; never
once did he smile; neither did he at any
time attempt witticism. His enter
tanners were disappointed and Disguised,
and sorry that they had paid him the
compliment Of purchasing a couple Of
boxes at the opera house 10 hear his lee
ture
But they got even. When Nye mounted
the stage that night and began pouring
forth his jokes and drolleries not news
paper man in the box smiled. All looked
solemn as owls, and occasionally glanced
with establishment at the audience that
kept in a roar Of applause. Nye con-
tinued, and became conscious Of the fact
that this portion Of his hearers was not
pleased, and he directed his shafts Of
wit at them. But they smiled not, but
only stared at him in solemnity. Their
GOODNESS soon communicated itself TO the
audience by some occult means and il
ceased 10 cheer, and before the entertain
ment was half over it was voted dead

In discussing the paid and the wages
offered in the steel works at Home
stead, says the New York Tribune,
1t is shown that the average for all
the men whose wag es would In any
way have been changed were about
"a per day, even at the minimum scale
proposed. To tbirty.three different
hands the amount paid under the old
scale was $l27.Sl per day OF eight
hours, while at the minimum possible
offered, tho Same mon would have re.
ceived for eight hours s12i.6s per day.
No such wages are paid in any other
country or in any other works In this
country.
The rollers In the plate mills in
Great Britain, at last acc cunts for.
warded.by American Consuls, were get.
ting about cir per week; at the Home
stead works they were offered as a
minimum $3.50 per day. The Shear
mon in Great Britain received from 81
to $40 per week, at Homestead they
were oileredas minimum from 81 to
60 per day. Pudding iron Is substan-
TALLY the same process in different
countries, and the English puddler
earned in 1880 an average OF 1925 per
week according to British official re-
cords, but at some points as much as
el0 per week was paid few years
later, though the depression in recent
years may have reduced wages.
But the puddlers at Pttsburg are
struggling to resist reduction below
$3.50 per ton, and at thatrate OF wages
the head of the Amalgamated Assocta-
lion has testified that the men aver
aged $3.50 per day, or sci per week.
In Belgium, according to a consular
report, the men were paid for pudding
an average of IS 70 per week, ami in
Bohemia, according to another consul
lar report, men arc this year doing
the same work at an average OF Sab
per week. Between FATS or S576 or
oven $7.20 per week in various for
eign countries, and the SOL per week
hitherto paid FOR some years Mt Pitts
burg, what n difference appears
While these men are struggling Il
retain wages averaging $40 per week,
They certainly should not allow them
selves to forget that nt the same cit,
under the Democratic revenue tariff
they used to receive as little as sl2.4
for doing the same work. They can
rot affoill to forget that but for tn

Tho many excursions that are offer
cd afford an opportunity for nearly all
families to take an outing II 1t be only
for a day away from home, away
from tho daily hum-drum cares of Ito.
There is hardly q family in Whining
ton who cannot take day off and go
to some seaside or river resort, or even
to some grove or dell, whore there Ii q
change OF scenery, change Of water,
and change OF air. A single days
recreation may not be looked upon MS
a very big thing, and yet it cannot be
despised. 1t is not like dwelling for
months at some seaside or mountain
resort but 1t is getting away from
home for once, where one family
meets another and where friendships
are strengthened and renewed.
There is plenty OF hard work In
every household, especially where
there is n group OF children. The hot
weather always increases these bur.
thens and we all know that between
work and worry the sorely pressed
mother hardly knows which way to
turn. 1t is Just at such limos that q
days outing. the society excursion or
tho family picnic comes along to lift
though 1t be but for day the heavy
burthen OF care. True. the days out
Ing may not have been without trou-
BILE but 1t was OF different kind, there
was at least break In the daily hum
drum OF life and the children were
brighter and happier, The change oil
scene did them good, as 1t did their
parents, and all will feel the happier
and better for 1t.
These are few OF the reasons why
all should avail themselves OF tn,
pleasant trips offered. II all canno

"a day and at intervals repeat tn
pleasure. Excursion rates are so cheai
that We can hardly imagine famil,
In our midst SO poor as to be unabl'

STOVES

Are Invaluable and should be investi.
gated by careful housclEeepers.
About 200 are in use in this city and
the number would be greatly Increased
II their merits were fully Understood.
Az "Cookers' they are unrtvalled and
are far superior to coal or wood stoves
in cooking meats OF vegetables.
AS Water Heaters" and ''Ironersn
they are most useful. especially when
the weather is too warm to use the
ordinary stove or range.
AS heating apparatus that can be
moved from room to room In a few
minutes by the housekeeper they are
most convenient.
As assistant heaters in rooms where
furnace or steam heat will not agcend
on the wlndwnrd side they have given
great satisfaction. =.
AS permanent heaters In rooms that
cannot DO reached byhoatlng i!ues they
have given much comfort.
As Intermittent heaters, where heat
is wanted only an hour or two at a
time. they are economical.
For Offices and stores, when the
weather is rather warm for furnace
fires, thoy may prevent sickness.
For spring and autumn use, when
mild days make furnace fires oppres.
sive, troublesome and expensive, they
are comfortable and economical.
As fires that can be started In min
ute and extlnguished In less time, they
are most satisfactory.
As heaters that avoid ASHES. COAL
GAS and DUST they are valued by pru-
dent housekeopers,
Modern Gas Stoves are not only USE
ful. but are ornamental.
The gas, the stoves, the fixtures and
the putting In are quite inexpensive.
