The New and the Beautiful,

THAT is the most peculiar and as
founding faculty of the mind that calls
the new, the beautiful" said Charles
Truax. Now, just think a minute.
Look at the change in fashions. and then
you see it perfectly. The hat that you
wore last season-the one with the stiff
rim and soft crown-how nice and nobby
it looked then! Now, when you tried it
on again the other day. accidentally run
ming across it in the locker. why, it
looked hideous. didn't it: It's impossi-
BILE to define why this is so. You can't
say it is because the mind dislikes old
things tsome minds don't nor that all
minds love the new, the change. Itisn't
exactly because persons dislike to be odd
or out of date. for some take great de.
light in looking strange and odd.
"Others do not wear the new things
first simply TO be the first. While | do
not think this sense comes from or guides
itself by any one of these influences. yet
the sum of them all goes to make up a
circle Of harmony inside of which one
would rather dwell than out. There are
a thousand little things that the mind
comprehends almost unconsciously and
acts accordingly. 1t is this reflex action
of brain work that makes it possible for
n to understand why we do these
things."-SI. Louis Globe Democrat.

The Evolution of Names.

The evolution Of names from foreign
tongues into English is in many cases
easy. From the German Bauer to the
English Bowers. and from the French
Boulanger to the English Bullinger is
but q step. as it were. But there are no
people who are oftener more humorously
accused of altering their names than the
Irish. Thus. Crehan has become Rehan:
Carroll, Karl; Dillon, Dyllyn; Diver,
Devere and Devyr: McCarty. Maeartee
and Makart: Slattery. Slater and Satter-
lee: O'Brien. Obrion and Breen; McGin-
ness, Guinness and Inness; Reilly, Rel
yea; Duffy, Dufay: McGuffin. Magofin.
Quinn. Queen: Fogarty, Fougert: Hag-
gerty, Haggart: Sully, Soule. The Eng
lish singer, Braham, merely dropped a
letter when he went on the stage. He
was a Hebrew. and his real name was
Abraham. Chicago Herald.

General Grants Quick Perception.

General Grants Quick Perception.
One afternoon during the siege of Vicks-
burg General Grant came sauntering on
foot toward the naval battery on Lo-
gan's front.
The place was known as the 'shell
basket" from the mum Der of l0-inch NOR
tar shells dropped into the earth, which
exploded and raised clouds of dust that
obscured everything in the vicinity for
some moments.
In this instance n few of us had watch
ed the flight of a shell, but the general
saw the bomb only the moment before it
struck. and its windage threw him to
the ground. He was unhurt. and con-
scious that time was precious before the
explosion he Lad rolled himself sufti-

The Expansion Of Solid Bodies.

An ingenious instrument for measur.
ing the expansion of minute solid bodies
is found in the list of inventions. The
substance is placed in the field Of a mi.
croscope and an image of it magniied
several times is thrown on a screen.
This image is further magniiel by two
microlneter microscopes which accur-
ately determine the expansion. The
substance is heated in a little platinum
oven through which an electric current
passes, and the temperature Of the oven
is arrived at by observations on the
melting of standard substances. By the
use OF this instrument the thermal ex-
pansion of any substance even to the
smallest diamond can be determined un-

00Hty 0ocked Immigrants.

A picturesque party of Italian immi-
grants landed az the barge Office the
other day. There were about a dozen
men and six or eight women. The men
wore clothing of a rough, buff colored
material. with scarfs and caps of bright
er hues. The women displayed a variety
of gay colors-red, yellow, blue and pink
predominatin5. Each woman was bare
headed, but each wore ribbons in her
hair and a bright colored shawl or apron.
The strangers attracted a great deal of
attention as they struggled up Broadway
from the Battery with their bundles.
They evidently found as much novelty
IN their surroundings as the New York
ers found in their quaint appearance.
The women apparently had the keenest
observation and pointed out to their
more stolid male companions various OBJ
jects as the party moved along.
At Rector street they saw a flower
stand, and half a dozen of the women
gathered about it and gave vent to volu-
BILE expressions of delight. They dragged
some of the men before the stand and
~gesticulated violently. The men tried
to pull away from them, but could not.
After awhile some pieces of money came
out of the mems pockets, and with
much eagerness and chattering the wom-
en- selected one flower apiece. The VEN
dor took his pay out of the handful Of
American silver rendered him, and the
party moved on, both men and women
joyous as a lot of school children

Tiger Skins Not Popular In One Fan,il,


Mrs. Richard Croker of New York
city tells some funny stories Of her ex-
periences with people who have heard of
Tammany tigers. One day a country
man came to the Crokers' Richfeld
Springs home to do some odd jobs. Mrs.
Croker noticed him p~eering around the
floors. and about the time she began to
grow suspicious of the man he asked;
Where ale the tigers
Tigers. What tigers"
Why, the folks around here say you
kept tigers all on the floor"
Mrs. Croker had to smile, but earnestly
told him the tigers were out at pasture.
The man looked relieved. The fact of it
is tiger skin rugs are not popular in the
Croker mansions. Washington Post.

Shipping Notes.

The pile driver was at work this morning
on the lower end of the Claudine's wharf.
The schooner Lavinia sailed this after
noon for l.aie with SO tons of coal for Ka-
huku plantation.
The British bark Darra, now lying at the
Q. r. IL l.. Co.'s wharf, is expected to finish
discharging her cargo of coal in about two
weeks. Her next port of destination will
be Tacoma.
The steamer J. A. Cummns arrived this
morning from Heeia with 1850 bags of
sugar, and this afternoon she was engaged
in emptying them into the barkentine Dis
covery, now lying in naval row.
The Japanese steamer Aikoku Maru will
finish discharging her cargo OF coal to-
morrow. About 100 Japanese will leave by
her on Monday next, 40 of whom are now
in this city, and the rest are expected from
the other islands on Sunday by the island
steamers.
Notwithstanding the large catch OF
sharks reported on the water front every
day, it is safe to assume that the environ
ments around the wharf, both on land and
sea, can yet yield an inexhaustible supply.
The largest catch lately reported is that
made by Mr.. T. Cooke, the very popular
and obliging Custom House guard.

JOHN WAS AFTER EGGS.
But Faithful Watch Dog Spoiled
His Game.

A Chinaman who gave the name
of All Lin was caught prowling
about the premises of Mr.. Thos.
Christley last night. Mr.. Christley's
attention was attracted by the bark
ing of his dog about 1920 o'clock,
and going out he saw the animal
scratching at the barn door. All of
a sudden a Chinaman bolted through
the door, and made an attempt to
reach the street, but the dog nipped
his leg, and Mr.. Christley was given
chance to grapple the prowler. A
struggle that ensued made enough
uproar to attract mounted patrol
man, who escorted the Chinaman to
the Station. On investigation moth
ing was found missing, but it is be-
lieved All Lin was after eggs, as
several empty bags were found in
the barn.
