So called Men niilIiners.

Against tailor cut dresses draped by
women we enter no kind of caveat, yet
it would seem in the highest degree de-
sirable that the department of millinery
should not be invaded by men. The ad-
yocates of female labor contend, it is
true. that men suffer from an incurable
incapacity to build bonnets. CONNER
cially they may be practically man
milliners," but technically and artistical-
iy it is only daughter of Eve who can
construct that airy, mysterious and al
together delightful structure, a first rate
fashionable bonnet.
An optimist has declared that If fe-
male of fair capacity, good taste and
approved skill as needlewoman were
locked up by herself in top attic with
nothing on her work table but an onion,
a tomato, some bits of colored paper, a
few feathers and some red and white
tape and green ferret she would be able
in the course of few hours to construct
a most elegant bonnet which, however
coarse in texture it might appear TO the
eve, would photograph in most plctur-
esque and symmetrical aspect. whereas,
were the skillfulest of male artifcers in
trusted with a similar task and with
carte blanche in the way of silk, velvet,
plated straw, rare feathers, beads, jet,
spangles and artificial flowers, he would
not succeed in producing anything be-
yond rude, clumsy and ungainly sim
ulacrum of bonnet.
As maker of hats, equality with if
not superiority over the other sex may
perhaps be claimed for the man. He in
vented the lady's hat, he adorned it, he
beribboned it, he plumed it and he hand
ed it over to Rubens, Vandyke, Gains
borough and Reynolds to be perpetuated
as a monument of mastery skill and ele-
gance in their deathless canvases.-Lon-
don Telegraph.

snhlimitv on Pike,s Peak,

One of the sublimest effects in nature
is occasionally seen by those who climb
the tall and isolated peaks of the Rocky
mountains in Colorado. The dryness of
the air and the strong heat of the after
noon sun cause a rapid evaporation from
the brooks, springs and snowbanks on
the mountain sides, and this moisture,
rising on the warmer air, condenses as il
reaches the cooler, thinner atmosphere
about the mountain top. The traveller,
looking down, sees clouds literally form
ing below him and growing thick and
black every instant, so that as they
reached his level they roll skyward and
In huge masses of vapor that eclipse the
view and bury him in darkness. Light
ming occasionally leaps from the clouds,
and mountain top is particularly bad
place to be in at such a time. The stone
signal service station on Pixies peak has
been nearly wrecked by lightning more
than once.-New York Sun.

Some of the Democratic papers here
abouts are attempting to criticise the
Board of Commissioners in the Pipe
Creek pike case and at the same time
shield Mr.. Hart, the only member of the
present Board that had anything to do
with that matter. We do not defend the
action of the commissioners in that
matter, in fact we believe the Board de-
serves severe criticism and in equity
should be made to bear the expense
which their action foisted on the county,
although such result probably could
not be attained in law, but the efforts to
ward off the blame from Hart is pitiable,
Mr.. Hart never failed to concur in every
action of his associates. He voted to
build the Pipe Creek pike and is as much
to blame as either of his associates. He
displayed his lack of qualifications that
are requisite in competent commits
sioner and had suit brought, the sole
purpose of which was his personal vindi-
cation. In that suit he utterly failed.
Such is the man these papers try to
whitewash. while they berate some Re
publicans who were then in the Board
but are now out of it. We believe in
being fair. When we believe the COM
missioners deserve criticism, we criticise
them, and make no exceptions of the
Republicans.

PENCIL POINTERS.

Too often the proper qualifications of
a delegate in county convention is
overlooked. Men who will do their
work only for the best interest of the
party and with the sole purpose of NOM
mating a ticket which will command the
united support of the party and con-
fidence of the people, should be chosen
delegates. Instead of choosing repre-
sentative men, the selection of delegates
too often develops into squabble as to
whether one man or another man will
secure the delegates from a township
or precinct for his own use. Delegates
should be independent and uninstructed
and free to vote as they choose. Usu-
ally one set of men are for certain man,
and do not care tinker's imprecation
about the rest of the ticket so long as
they land their man. The best results
cannot be obtained in county affairs as
long as such conditions continue Con,
ventions frequently nominate men who
ought not to be nominated, simply be,
cause there was no one to oppose them
and there was not enough independence
in the delegates to go outside of the list
of avowed candidates in order to get
suitable man. That all parties follow
this plan is true, but it is not system
conducive to the best results.

Unsatisfied with turning the centuries
backward and making st. Paul live be-
fore Julius Caesar, and even with reveal
ing to the world the theology of Pluto,
the Gazoot now turns lightly and with
that airy grace so distinguishingly its
characteristic to literature, and in its
elegant, though none the less keen and
lucid way, disposes of another illusion
under which men have for some hundreds
of years labored. Until the Gazoot shot
its white search light of learning into
the question, writers had been accustomed
to attribute the expression "God made
him, therefore let him pass for man" to
the immortal bard of Avon. But the
Gazoot clears up the error. 1t Gf so
great thing as the GaZoot may be called
''it") asserts that Dean Swift gave utter
ance to this thought. Nowit is said that
whole libraries have been written about
Shakespeare and his plays, and each book
has probably assumed that the above
words are to be found in The Merchant
of Venice, A. /, S. Ii. All these books
are now, of course, valueless since the
Gazoot has pointed out the origin of the
sentence. The CHRONICLE takes pleas
ure in extolling the recondite discoveries
of the GaZoot.

The weather which prevailed during
the past week was very trying on all
farm products. In the northwestern
section Of the State the temperature av-
eraged nine degrees above the normal,
gradually decreasing to four degrees
above in the eastern. This prevalence
of abnormally high temperature, COM
bined with an almost total absence of
precipitation, and hot south winds, have
materially lessened the prospects enter
tanned of a fair crop, particularly in the
central and western counties. Wheat
has ripened very rapidly and in a
shrunken condition in many localities.
In some places it will be cut to feed cat
tie. The hot, dry weather has also been
extremely severe On vegetables. Pota-
toes are greatly in need of rain to bring
them to any reasonable size.
The harvest Of oats, rye and barley is
quite general and the yield reported
fair. Several pieces Of early-sown wheat
have been cut, and the harvest will be
general this week.
Prairie fires in the western portion of
the State are doing considerable dam

rain is needed to extinguish them.
