A Race Of wariike Dwarf.

The inhabitants of the Andaman
islands are the smallest ra.e of known
human beings; that is, taken as an av-

damandi seldom exceeds SO feet. and
few weigh over sixty-6ve pounds They
are said TO be rnarvelousIv swift on foot,
as well as being possessed OF exsraor-

travellers who occasionally visit the
Islands avoid contact with the dwarfs as
far as possible. partially on account OF
their extreme filthiness. but principally

tilted on the right side of the head it
generally implies that the man is rake
and wishes to be considered as such; if
worn in a tilt over the right eye that
he is a sport; if a tilt over the nose that
he wishes to be taken for an innocent
fool, but is very much the reverse. If
the hat is worn with tilt over the left
side of the head he may be taken for a
man who has seen military or naval
service, while when the hat is worn
with a tilt over the left eye he may be
at once set down as fool with depraved
and unnatural tastes.

origin of the latter dates back to myth
illogical times; for the statues of Mer-
curry invariably portray that deity

so greatly of nineteenth century civil
zation-in an unmistakable ''derby" or
''pot hat" embellished with couple of
wings. The wide-awake or soft felt hat
comes to us from Italy where it was first
used. 1t subsequently found its way to
this continent and to-day is regarded in
Europe as the peculiarly American form
of headgear. The high hat or stove
pipe originated with the Puritans, and

the stiff and starched character of their

In my last weeks letter referred to
trousers rs an appropriate symbolical
figure Of nineteenth century civiliza-
ton. There is another article of mas
culine attire which deserves to be
classed in the same category, namely,
the hat. The latter Is the outcome Of
evolution and one of the principal
marks Of progress, enlightenment and
civilization. When a dusky savage of
the interior of Africa feels glimmering
within his breast the elementary aspira-
tions to civilized life, what is the first
article of clothing he adopts to conceal
his barbaric nudity? Is it q coat or Q
waistcoat or even a pair Of trousers?
No. it is hat. And If he can only pro-
cure for himself a hat, he is Indifferent
to the rest. Indeed the breaches con-
stitute merely a sort of afterthought in
his ideas on the subject Of good form.
He realizes the fact which We all know
SO well, namely, that it is not so much
manners as it is the hat which makes
the man.
There is far moro character in a hat
than in pair Of Trousers You can tell
a mans social status. his nationality,
his principles and his profession from
the style and shape of his hat and from
the manner in which 1t is worn. The tilt
of the tile" in one direction or the other
conveys a whole world of meaning to
the initiated. Thus, If tho hat is worn at
the back of the head 1t indicates that
the owner is either permanently or tenn
porarily in a state OF Instruction

dication of the purity of his motives.
Canidus is the Latin word for white, and
presume that it is from this fashion of
whitening the toga that we derive the
word candidate" l must leave it to
my readers, however, to decide as to
whether white hat can still be con-
sidercd as indicative Of the political
purity of its wearer.
Whenever one sees an elderly man
wearing peculiarly old and shabby hat
of antiquated form one may safely take it
for granted that he is celebrity Of
some kind or another and distin-
guished parsonage. All the famous men
whom have encountered during the
course of my wanderings in various
parts Of the world have invariably worn
hats that were absolutely shocking.
And yet in one way these ancient
titles" seemed to command my rever-
ence and respect, for could not help
remembering that after all they con-
stituted the canopy of brains that
had made their mark in the his
tory of mankind. The hat of Carlyle,
for instance, was beyond description.

Salisbury's is such that its battered and

A Musical Cat.

There is a young lady on Capitol hill,
says the Washington Post, who has
musical cat. After nearly year of
hard work on the feline musician she
says it can sing the best portion of two
well-known songs, Home. Sweet
Home" and ''Auld Lang Syne." but
without the usual variations. When
this young lady wants pussy to sing she
puts her on a footstool and commands:
"Puss sing Home, Sweet Home" at
the same time humming the air. Pussy
always responds, singing the desired
tune in a rather high falsetto voice, a
little broken. but sufficiently well to be
recognized by the hearers. Sometimes
when this cat is out on a moonlight ex-
petition her voice can be heard above
those of her companions in the feline
outdoor back fence concert. ringing out
"Auld Lang Syne" or Home, Sweet
Home" The young lady does not want
her name mentioned, for fear she will
be besieged by freak collectors or dime
museum oroprietors who want to buy,
beg, borrow or steal her musical pet

The Columbus Fefe.

The Columbus Fete at New York
was a grand success during its
three days duration. The naval
parade, which was participated in
by ships of several foreign countries,
was pronounced one of the fin
est sights ever witnessed. The
street parades, floats, ETC., showing
the progress of the country during
the four hundred years since Col
umbus discovered America, was a
magnificent pageant, and every
thing connected with the affair re-
fected the greatest credit upon the
people of New York who conceived
and carried out the idea.

They Cured Him.

Mail carriers are sometimes prone to
make mistakes, jsst as other people are.
Not only in their business, for that oc-
ours often with the most careful, but
sometimes socially.
1t was only few evenings ago that
one of the East End mail boys made
such a mistake socially as TO place him
in a ridiculous manner before the few
friends who have learned of this mis-
take.
For some time past Uncle Sam's agent
has been paying noticeable attention TO
one of East Ends fair bellies, that is, in
an indirect and seemingly unconcerned
manner. In fact, the young lady did not
know of the intended attention until he
asked permission one day TO call upon her
that evening. When he would go to the
house to deliver any letters to the young
lady he would always ask if Miss -
was in, always using her Christian name,
and in this way he became, as he thought,
pretty we'll acquainted with the object
of his affections.
The young lady was not reciprocal In
her feelings, and when she was asked to
allow him to call she hesitated some
what, but finally said yes.
The young man was not acquainted
with the fact that this certain young
lady had sister almost the exact image
of herself, but she knew it and was de-
termined that the sister should help her
in her cleverly laid scheme-the sister
should entertain the letter carrier.
All arrangements were made for the
evening, and when the dOOrbell sounded
the sister answered and the young man
was ushered into the room. He did not
detect any difference in the sister and
was not aware that he was talking with
any other girl than the one he had asked
to call upon.
The evening hours few quickly and
| he was about to depart, when he began
pouring forth some endearing terms to
the young lady, who listened attentively
until he had finished, when, with q
smothered laugh on her face, she asked,
"It's my sister you wish to see, is 1t not!
The letter carrier was dumfounded
He had committed himself, and to one
wholly uninterested in the affair. He
reached for his hat and with one bound
reached the door and was soon wander
ing down the avenue beneath the electric
light. He was surely a wiser if not
happier man. The letters are still de
livered to the house, but the letter MAI
is scarcely ever seen, and he never ask:

Strange Applications.

The Salvation Army has in London a
bureau of information, where ladies
may obtain servants and those in need
of employment find work. 1t has been
extraordinarily successful. During the
first year 1900 employers found serv-
ants, and thousand girls applied for
work.
Strange applications come to the Office.
One lady recommended her departing
servant as "clean, tidy, honest, sober,
truthful and good worker" Wonder
ing why maid and mistress should part
under these conditions, the bureau found
that terribly bad temper was the cause
of separation.
'But, strangely enough" said the
chief, ''it happened that lady had just
applied to Us for a servant with a bad
temper, believing that such girls make
the cleanest handmaids. So that we are
able to meet every requirement. -

The Currant Before 1t Is Dried.

must confess that l have always
blindly supposed (when 1 thought of it
at alb that the currant of the plum pud
ding was the same fruit rs the currant
of our gardens-that slightly acrid red
berry which grows on bushes that follow
the lines of back fences-bushes that
have patches of weedy ground under
them where hens cOngregate. fancled
that by some process unknown to me, at
the hands of persons equally unknown
(perhaps those who bring fiattened raisins
from grapes), these berries were dried,
and that they then became the well
known ornament of the Christmas cake.
It was at Zante that my shameful ig-
norance was made clear to me. Here L
learned that the dried fruit Of commerce
is dwarf grape, which has nothing in
common with currant jelly. Its English
name, currant, is taken from the French
'raisin de Corinthe," or Corinth grape,
a title bestowed because the fruit was
first brought into notice at Corinth. We
have stolen this name in the most I'M
reasonable way for our red berry. Then,
to make the confusion worse, as soon as
we have put the genuine currants into
our puddings and cakes we turn around
and call them "plums!"
The real currant, the dwarf grape Of
Corinth, is about as large rs a gooseberry
when ripe, and its color is a deep violet
black; the vintage takes place in August.

WHY oIeerschaum "Colors."

Meerschaum would not color at all
but for the fact that it is boiled in wax.
If used in its natural state it would
quickly become soiled, the material be-
ing so porous that it absorbs the slight
est moisture from the hand or anything
it comes in contact with. But the wax
fills up the pores and gives the meer-
schaum a sort of enamel. A pipe that
has been spoiled by overheating, so that
it will not color, can be reboiled in wax
and restored to some extent. This kind
of work is done in the trade by experts,
for it requires great skill.-Interview in
