Good Advice on tho Subject Of Hats.

Good Advice on tho Subject of Hats.
Some one has said that not ono man in
a dozen knows how to wear dress coat,
and 1t is quito as true that large num-
Der Of individuals do not have any idea
how to wear a hat. One man can wear
his hat at tho back Of his head and look
well dressed, while another having his
hat in that position would look as though
he were recovering from a protracted
round of dissipation. 1t is just the same
with the other positions, ON the top Of
the head, on either side or drawn over
the forehead. 1t is knowing how to wear
hat which makes it look well, and the
knowledge often enables tho poor man
to look more dressy in a cheap hat than
his richer neighbor in much more cost
ly one.
The time the knowledge is a saving
one is when buying Q hat. A good sales
man will take care that q customer gets
a hat that will fit him when worn in the
position which is most becoming to that
individual, but unless this is taken care
of by either purchaser or salesman there
will be little satisfaction from the pur-
chase and the hat will probably blow off
at the smallest provocation. A BIT that
fits and is worn right seldom blows off,
no matter how high the wind may be-

Living In Chambers.

Within late years a new style of house
keeping has come in. 1t is n step fur
ther than the fiat" Besides it is much
more swell to live in chambers" than
to live in fiat. 1t is just the thing for
young married people. They take a
suite of two or three rooms and bath.
There is no kitchen. They furnish the
rooms to please themselves, and have of
course their own latchkey, just as if it
were fiat. The house has an Office
down stairs a good deal like hotel.
Here mail, ETC., is received. A reception
room is provided down stairs, where
guests wait while their cards are brought
to you.
The suites are all supplied with bells.
A ring brings boy, as at hotel. You
can get ice water or stationery as at a
hotel. You can have them ring mes
senger' or send telegram. A cafe down
stairs supplies meals as you want them.
The house supplies chambermaid service
if you want it. A more complete way
OF living who could conceive?-Wash-

The Jewels of n Saint,

The idea Of sanctity usually carries
with it suggestion of poverty, and II
may seem contradiction to refor to the
jewels of n saint. 1t has been customary
for painters who choose for their sub.
jects saints or martyrs to treat them
with the utmost simplicity. In ma
jority of cases they are depicted as de.
void of ornament or decoration, and In
the few exceptional instances, as when
the subject Of the picture is ruler or
king, the gems are few and purely sym.
bolic, being sufficient only to denote the
rank of the individual portrayed.
Raphael, who was perhaps the great.
est painter of religious subjects 10 world
has known, has in most of his works ad-
hered strictly to this rule, but in the
head of "St. Cecilia" Is to be noticed de-
parture from it. A row Of pearls, to which
are attached three pendants, ornaments
her gown at the neck, and this is her
only jewelry. The hair Is simply ar.
ranged and without jewel Of any kind
The single row Of gems, themselves the
emblems of chastity, emphasizes the ex-
quisite simplicity Of the facc.-Jewelers'

Excess OF Conscience.

Professor Palmer, of Harvard, discuss
ing the teaching Of morals in the public
schools. says that excess of conscience
has desolated New England like a
scourge Conscientiousness becomes a
moral disease and takes the place in the
spiritual life of nervous prostration in
the physical life. People who are always
lingering their motives, and unwhole-
somely preoccupied with directing their
acts, lose spontaneity, sense of proper
tion. But what is more important to
human society is their tendency to be-
come bores, whose virtues are worse than
their vices. A better rule of conduct is
that of person who says, I've made
reasonably sure that my instincts are all
right, so let my acts take care of them
selves. New York Evening Sun.

Overexercise.

Physicians are protesting against the
overexercise taken by the slender, high
strung people who would better be hold
ing on to what little flesh they have,
while it is next to impossible to stir up
the lazy, heavy class to exert themselves
enough to relieve them of their super
fuous bulk. Nature does not safely guide
us in this particular. Thin people are

An objectionable OfIenae.

A young woman condemns herself in
the eyes Of good society who is observed
to enter alone with u young man place
for public refreshment, be the restaurant
or tearoom ever 50 select. Bred under
other conditions Of society so neces-
sarily varying as that in our broad
America, n stranger visiting New York,
for instance, might readily and inno-
Gently make u mistake Of this nature,
and blush at finding herself condemned
for it. In the same category Of offenses
is ranked that OF maidens visiting PLACES
Of public amusement under the escort Of
young men alone.
Many parts OF the south and west al
low this to DO done with the smiling con-
sent Of good society, but in eastern cities
it is considered q violation of the code of
good form, and for the comfort, if not
the convenience, Of the girl considering
it, had better be ranked among the lost
privileges upon which social evolution
may look back with fond regret. Mrs.

THE FLY EATING PLANT.
Curious Operation OF Vegetable De
vouring Animal Life.

vouring Animal Life.
One species of the drosea has its leave.
rounded, while the other has them elon
gated, but both alike have them reddish
in color and covered with short hairs OF
filaments. At the end Of each of these
hairs there is an enlarged gland which
secretes tiny drop Of what appears tc
be harmless dew. Harmless, however the
liquid is not, for to most insects, espe.
cially small flies, the drosea is most
insidiously baited trap. The liquI is in
reality sweet sticky substance, and If
the very smallest fly does but touch it
ever so lightly it sticks there and dies.
The manner in which the plant after
ward actually digests the bodies of the
flies it entraps is interesting in the ex-
treme.
Within n short time of the capture of
a fly-so excessively sensitive are the
glands-all the filaments growing around
the one which has made the capture COM
mence to bend inward, covering the
luckless insect until it is securely within
the grasp of the relentless plant. Each
gland then pours out upon the body a
digestive liquid, not altogether unlike
the gastric juice of animals, and in the
course of day or two the fly is COM
pletely digested, the nutritive parts have
been wholly absorbed by the plant and
the filaments have bent back to their
original position, ready to make another
capture upon the first opportunity.
II, however, the substance caught by
the leaf is Of an indigestible nature,
such as grain of sand or n piece of
stick blown by the winds on to the
glands, the leaf does not remain closed
more than few hours. The number of
insects thus caught must be very great.
The plants themselves are very abun-
dant in most upland bogs. Each plant
has five or six leaves, and as many as
thirteen dead flies have been found on a
single leaf.
Curiously enough, Darwin, whose re-
searches into the subject were of most
exhaustive and interesting nature, found
that the leaves on his plants were killed
when he gave them surfeit Of cheese
and raw meat. The excessively sensi-
tive nature Of the glands almost sur
passes conception. Darwin found that
the absorption Of only the 1-2o, 900, ,0ooth
part Of grain Of phosphate of ammo
MIA or thereabout was sufficient to cause
the filament bearing the gland to bend
toward the center Of the leaf.-Good

evanescent and vary widely in different

still hunters, who know the haunts of

MR.. BANDS BILL.

The bill introduced by Mr.. Bland OF
Missouri, would solve the silver pro-
blem if adopted by congress; and ii the
Bland bill could be substituted for the
Sherman act, nine-tenths OF the people
of the United States would say amen.
The first three sections contain the
essence OF the bill, as follows:
"Be it enacted, etc., that from and after the
passage of this act all holders of silver bu II, II
to the amount of 500 or more standard weight
and fneness, shall be entitled to have the same
coined al the minis of the United States into
silver dollars of the weight and fneness pro
vided for in section of this act.
"Sec. p That the silver dollar provided for
in this act, shall consist of 4l212 grains OF
standard silver, said dollar TO be a legal tender
for all debts, dues and dem ands, both public
and private.
"Sec. 8. The holder % the silver dollars
herein provided for, shall be entitled to deposit
the same and receive silver certificates In the
manner provided by law for the standard silver
dollar"

Shows All the Minerals.

An interesting thing is monument
in the Mines and Mining building.
Having for a base a huge chunk OF
bituminous coal, it represents the ac-
tual amounts in their proper order OF
minerals, ores and precious stones
mined per second in the United States.
1t is clever idea and is well gotten
up. Beginning with the base, which
is cube some five feet each way, the
order is as follows: Bituminous coal,
anthracite coal, limestone, natural gas
local equivalent), petroleum, iron ore,
granite, salt, sandstone, phosphate
rock, Vermont marble, gypsum, marls,
mineral waters, slate, grindstone,
pyrites, tale, lead, copper, mineral
paint, flint, bauxite, manganese ore,

An Odd Instrument.

The Scandinavian 'lur" is slender
bronze horn in the shape of an S. 1t is
found in the boys of Sweden and the
coast of Germany near Denmark.
It's length is six to seven feet, and the
twist is in two planes. The metal is
thin, and cast in sections, which have
been fitted together. There is no ex-
listing musical instrument like it, and
its probable age is two to three thou
sand years. Not long ago some of
these ancient "lurs" were played at a
concert given by DR.. Angul Hammerich
at the National Museum, Copenhagen.

DONT'S FOR MOTHERS.

DON'T neglect the baby; the little
fellow has the first right to your atten-
ton.
DON'T lay the child down with his ears
bent away from his head; the result
will be deformity.
DON'T wake the baby to exhibit the
tints of his eyes to admiring friends;
sleep is his most unquestionable right.
DON'T strain the baby's eyes by al
lowing a strong light to shine directly
into them, especially when he first
wakes.
DON'T spoil the infant by walking or
rocking it to sleep, and do not let any
one else do so; it will sleep best and
most naturally when lying upon a
comfortable bed.

THE MATTER Or GOOD ROADS.
Governor Altgeld, Of Illinois, in view
OF large number OF working people
out OF employment and the prospect
that the number may be increased, is
said to be seriously considering the adj
visibility OF calling the legislature to-
gether in extra session. Should he do
so, he will recommend that employ
ment be provided for the idle by un-
dertaking an extensive scheme of road
improvement.
1t is not probable that the carrying
out OF the plan will be necessary-and
the necessity would need to be very
pressing to justify the legislature in un-
dertaking it-but if it should be, there
will be considerable compensation to
Illinois for the disasters OF the panic,
il the result is good system of per-
manent roads. 1t would be very costly.
Public works undertaken for the pur-
pose OF furnishing employment always
cost far more than if executed under
other circumstances. But even at
high cost good roads will soon pay for
themselves In Illinois or any other
state.
The need OF improving the roads Of
the country has been urged persistently
for many years, and everybody admits
that they should be improved, yet little
has been done in the older and wealth.
Ter states. Governor Altgeld will make
1898 memorable for something besides
the panic il he starts movement re-
smiling in good roads being the rule in
the United States instead Of the rare
exception.
