The Tall Hat in England.

No one ever says good word for the
tail hat. 1t is reviled and abused on all
sides, and yet it holds its own against
all corners with an immobility worthy
of better cause. Nearly all the syn
onyms&and they are many-adopted to
designate the tall hat are of disrespect-
full character. Men liken it to stove
pipe or chimney pot; the name stopper"
itself is decidedly lacking in dignity.
But though we are told that nothing
kills like ridicule, ridicule has wholly
failed to overthrow the dominion Of the
tall hat. If the last man be an English
man, we can well imagine that his inn
pavid front will face the ruin of the
universe beneath the shelter of silken
tile.-London Globe.

SnN SprnriscU tho NOuuUstsr

Two boys, not quite in their teens, got
into a quarrel in Twenty-third street,
near the Fifth Avenue hotel, the other
day, and after exhausting their respec-
tive vocabularies they fell to pummeling
each other viciously. They were of the
tough species, both physically and social
ly. Their alteration naturally attract
ed much attention in that thoroughfare,
and score or more persons stopped to
watch the conflict. Nobody showed any
desire to interfere until along came a
bright and breezy tailor made girl, walk
ing as erect as a soldier and with a
quick, springy step. She took in the
fight at glance, and stopping within
an arms length of the combatants she
commanded them to desist. Each boy,
with scant breath, conveyed to her in a
rude, slangy way his desire that she
should mind her own business.
whats that you say?" said the young
woman, as she stretched out two gloped
hands toward the boys. "Mind my own
business, eh?" and the next instant the
two hands were drawn back with o
vigorous jerk, with boy dangling from
each hand. With firm grip on their
coat collars the athletic girl knocked
the heads of the bellicose boys together
as easily as if she were handling a pair
of three pound dumbbells. Then she
shook out what little breath had re-
manned in the lads and threw them
away from her, one toward Fifth avenue
and the other toward Sixth avenue
The lads gasped and made as much haste
as they possibly could to get away from
the pretty amazon.-New York Times.

Mutterings of an Undertaken.

'Put on airs, my Beauties" muttered
an undertaken, travelling on the elevated
railroad. "Put on airs, but when get
you there won't be any airs, and one of
you will look pretty much like the
other"
A bevy of bright and naughty damsels
had boarded the train at Twenty eighth
street and their bearing annoyed the un-
dertaker.
81 tell you," he said, "when l bury
them they all look pretty much the
same. They don't sneer at the poor old

Paving Women the Same as Men.

The school board of st. Paul has abol-
ished the distinction of sex in the mat
ter of salaries. Hereafter the women
teachers will receive equal pay with the
men. In establishing the schedules of
future compensation for the teachers Of
the high school and the manual labor
school no sex distinction is made. Here
after it will be purely a question of ca
pacity, individuality and efficiency. The
schedule adopted reads:
Grade 37First year, $3.50; second
year, $1,000; third year, 1000; fourth
year, 81, 100; fifth year, $1,1O0; sixth
year, $1,000.
Grade First year, $1,000; second
year, 81, 100; third year, 1905; fourth
year, $1,000; fifth year, $1,400; sixth
year, 81 800.
Grade First year, $1,000; second
year, 81 200; third year, 81 400; fourth
year, $1,000; fifth year, $1,000; sixth
year, 81 roo; seventh year, 81, 800; eighth
year, 81 300; ninth year, $4,000.
Thus, no matter whether the teacher
be man or woman, the salary for the
same service will be identical. Boston

Curiosities of Superstition.

When Egypt was in the height of her
power, when she was most highly civil
lized and delighted in being called the
mistress of the land and sea-" her peo-
pie worshiped a black bull. There was
some discrimination, however, even in
this form of worship. In order to be an
object Of mad alteration it was neces-
sary that the bull calf be born with
circular white spot in the exact center
of his forehead, and the advent of such
creature in any herd was the signal Of
wild demonstrations from the Mediter-
ranean to the border of the Lybian des-
ert. Even as late as the time of Cleo
patra, ''star eyed goddess, glorious sor-
ceress of the Nile," such animals were
shod with gold and had their horns
tipped with the same metal. Herodotus
tells of man who died with grief be-
cause he sold cow that soon after be-
came the mother of black bull calf
marked with the sacred white circle in
his forehead.-St. Louis Republic.

WEAKENING.

The broad white curve Of the beach,
That lies like Bonded arm;
The amorous waves that seem ever a-reach
TO kiss it and die a-calm.
And still the lowering sky,
And still the splendid day,
And the far white sails, and the sea CULTS
cry,
And the sun path over the bay.
How many and many time
Have questioned the stranded shells,
If they knew, perchance, of the magical
cline,
Where the answer of dreaming dwells.
And barking the waters kiss,
Content have / dreamed alone.
In the glorious thralI of a day like this,
And wistful want unknown.
There speed the outbound ships,
Here heth the sunshine warm,
With the spent waves pressing their curry
ing lips,
On the white shores Bonded arm.
Then for what is the day more fair?
Why bluer the deeps of space?
Oh, the sun on the gold of a woman,s hair
The love in her eyes-her facet

Animal Wisdom.

In moving to a new place of residence
we found on the premises large cat
which had been left there by the former
occupant. She was not of the real do
nestle kind, but lived principally in the
barn, occasionally venturing into the
house to obtain her food. On one oc-
casion, much to the surprise of my wife,
she came up to her and mewed several
times, turning each time toward the
door leading to the barn. This she re-
peated until Mrs. N was induced by
curiosity to follow her, when she led the
way to a barrel half full of straw, up
the side of which she climbed, all the
time mewing and looking at my wife,
and there were five kittens, cold and
dead. Mrs. N remarked, ssThey are
cold and dead, pussy" and the cat went
away satisfied.
She would sometimes scratch the chill
dren, and we were fearful she would
seriously injure them, and one day
said in her presence that 81 would shoot
her." She was missing for about six
weeks, and of course had then SCOT off
the notion. Forest and Stream.

His words came true; but on the night
of March s, 1892, he was awakened with
a great start. He was dreaming at the
moment. He was in q railway wreck
and, as he thought, the broken driving
rod Of the overturned engine was slowly
piercing his vital organs. He walked, as
before said, with start, and found his
wife arousing him with her elbow.

band.

PEOPLES PARTY CONVENTION.
Minnesota Farmers Meet at st. Paul to
Nominate a Ticket.

Minnesota Farmers Meet at st. Paul to
Nominate a Ticket.
ST. PAUL, July 14.-Before 10 a. m.
Market hall was well filed with dele
gates to the first convention OF the
Peoples party of Minnesota. 1t was
very lively gathering, and as the delega-
tons, escorted by the sergeant-at-arms,
were assigned to their respective posi-
tons on the floor, inspiring music from
a band sent the enthusiasm degree
higher than the temperature.
Compared with the Alliance conven-
ton of 1890, the meeting is not so
largely attended, but what it lacked in
numbers was made up in ability ,oratory
and enthusiasm.
Hon. Thomas j. Meighen, chairman
of the central committe, called the con-
vention to order. Mr.. Meighen is not a
speechmaker. He evidently knows it
and did not inflict the convention with
any oratory. After song by the ALI
ance trio Mr.. Meighen announced
that A. D. Stewart had been
selected for temporary chairman; P. M.
Ringdal, of Crookston, temporary sec
rotary; G. Seeburger, of st. Cloud, and
Robert Eckford, of st. Paul, assistant
secretaries; G. H. johnson, of Pipestone,
reading clerk; A. G.. WEIGH, of Mcleod,
sergeaht-at-arms; j. H. Lackey, of Todd,
and S. p. Rasmussen, of st. Paul, assist
ant sergeants-at arms; Louis Hanson,
transportation secretary.
While the committees on resolutions
and credentials were being made up
there were loud cries for Donnelly and
the sage made a characteristic fifteen
minutes speech, after which the conven-
ton recessed till p. m.
Previous to the report of the creden-
tials committee there was song by Mr..
Klaski, of the Alliance institute, then P.
III. Rahilly, of Wabasha, moved that
committee of ten be appointed on per-
manent resolutions. This was amended
by Cosgrove, of Sibley, that the same
committee act as committee on rules
and order and the amendment was
adopted.
Rahilly then offered resolution that
the board of managers of the Saltwater
penitentiary be requested to sell this
years output of the plant at 8 cents per
pound.
Il would like to inquire" said A. R.
Holston, of Polk, eff Mr.. Rahilly is still
in it. thought he resigned two years
ago." The resolution was then sent to
the committee on resolutions.
The committee on permanent organ
ization and rules and order was an
nonnced as follows.

dark browns in her park phaeton, which
attract much attention.
