She Wore "A Ring.

A young man and young woman
changed from a Belt line to a Four
teenth street car at the avenue. and
sat in one of the seats in the first car.
He was carrying an Overcoat and a
satchel, and was evidently going away.
She wore a shirt waist and dark skirt,
as if starting out on a shopping eX-
peditiOn. Just before they reached
Sixth street he leaned over her and
said quietly, so quietly that only the
woman back of them could hear: Il
am going to kiss you goodby when L
leave the car"
''Oh, please don't" she said, appeal
ingly; mot before all these people"
But he was decided. and said per-
sistently: Eyes, | shall; so raise your
veil. If you try to resist, people will
see it and wonder about you, and they
will look at you all the way up town
after l get off"
She glanced up Shyly, and then slow
ly raised her vel. He bent over her
and Kissed her, and no one in the car
looked up. A few people wondered
why she was so anxious to show the
diamond ring on the left hand, but
am sure no one appreciated the fact
that she was trying to Justify the kiss
ing by means of an engagement ring

He Would Row No More.

A Cornell student who has returned
home for his summer vacation is tell
ing some good stories of the famous
rowing coach Courtney. The latter. it
seems, is, in addition to being won
derful oarsman, an expert amateur
photographer, and while he is train
ing a crew he makes a practice of tax
ing snapshot pictures of the men while
at work. When the men from whom
the eight that defeated Pennsylvania
so easily started to train one very
promising candidate was the son OF a
Chicago millionaire. He rowed we'll,
but awkwardly, and once Courtney
caught his picture when he was in a
horrible attitude. The coach de-
veloped it and then posted it up in
the boat house The next day the
young man came to him and asked:
'Mr. Courtney. did | look like that?'

the young fellow. Il row no more. y

"Xoid for Tncnrtnintu 3,

Since the famous device of "aIl NV
black and white horses" the uncer-
tainty of the law of wills. says the
London Daily Graphic, has been a by
word. In that leading case. it will be
remembered, testator, who was pos
seSsed of a large stock of various
cOlors, left all his ''black and white"
horses to A. B. The question at once
arose whether this bequeSt meant
black horses and white horses or pie
bald horses. After prolonged deliber-
alton the Court had nearly arrived at
deciSiOn-We forget What-when they
were again thrown into despair by a
| fresh WhiteneSS, who testified that all
| the horses were mares. This bequeSt
was void for uncertainty, and the same
| fate awaited the will of Mr.. Asten. Of
| Colchester. which was before Mr.. JUS
| tice ROmer recently. Mr.. Asten had
| four houses, which he left to his four
sOnS-One to each. But there was no
thing in the will or on the houses to
distinguish them, and so the eldest
son. as heir-at-law, claimed them all
on the ground that the bequest was
void for uncertainty. Mr.. Justice
Romer was reluctantly compelled to
agree with him, and so the other three
are to 90 hOuSeleSS.

HOleS In the Legs.

A scientist tells us that the hogs
lecs perform a function not known to
anv other animal. and that is an es-
cape pipe or pipes for the dlscharge
of waste water or sweat not used in
the economy of the body. These eS-
cape pipes are situated upon the in
side Of the legs, above and below the
knee in the forelegs and above the
gambrel Joints in the hind legs, but in
the latter they are very small ana
functions light; upon the inside of the
foreleg they are in the healthy hog
always active, so that moisture is al
ways there from about and below
these orifices or ducts in the healthy
hog. The holes in the leg and breath.
ing in the hog are his principal ana
only means of ejecting an excess OF
heat above normal. and when very
warm the hog will open the mouth and
breathe through that channel as well
as the nostrils.

OLD STYLE HATS.
How They are Reblocked and Given
Modern Sba.,P.

How They are KeblOcked and Given
Modern shape.
'Gsenodeling' old hats is getting to
De quite n bus: ness. To some people
this woG:d seem to be an eleganr way
of Sptaking of the finishing over. trim
ming over, etc, of old or secondhand
hats. but such is not the case The
great bulk of hats that are remodel
ed' are new ones. or, more properly
speaking, are unSold ones. They are
not Of the up tO-date pattern, and con-
SeQIently are not Salable
The shreWd and buSineSSlike retailer
does not keep them too long on the
shelf. He prefers to turn them into
money, and in order to do this he sends
them to a remOdel.ng shop, where they
undergo certain amount of manipu-
kption and are placed back ON the
shelves turned into the --latest style'
OF the --latest tile" just as you prefer
to have it.
The owner of the hats fails to recog-
ntZe them when they are returned to
him. but he is glad to welcome them.
The trimmings have been taken out
and the hats have been blocked over
on the latest blocks and meet with 4
ready sale. The expense attached to
the blocking over and to the trimming
is not great, and the remOdeled hats
instead of remaining in dusty oblivion
ON the shelf, are exposed to the all
and sunshine of the summer day on
the heads of many of our fellOw-citi
Zens.
OF course the profit on the remodeled
hat is not so very great. but the re
taller is satisfied to get rid of the
goods. His shelves are not cucumber
ed with dead stock and he is turning
an honest penny.-American Halter
