generally used it may be different.
That is standing rule of all boldly
new styles.
A sort of hat which will claim good
deal of attention later in the season is
the Chinese-looking disc of straw.
These thu eaten to be OF enormous size,
and t. be trimmed only by great
spreading bow of MORE sash ribb N in
the very center on the top. The long
ends of the bow pass through Sits in
the straw made close to the center on
either side. serve for strings. and tie
under the Gu n in another big bow.
There , something oddly piquant
about these hat. The invariable color
for their ribbons is the new pink april
cot, yellowish pink that is becoming.
The hat is to be worn on the top of the
head, and the strings must come from
as near the top of the hat as possible.
OF things which are equally new, but
a bit less pronounced, the second pic
ture pres ents an attractive example.
1t is in black straw and of poke shape.
The edge of the brim is trimmed with
narrow white lace, and it is garnished
in back with two large black ostrich
tips one of which falls over the hair. At
the side is a spreading bow of white silk
ribbon and the other side is decorated
with a small bunch of pink rosebuds.
The 1880 poke appears with many modi-
fications and is now rather picturesque
than grotesque, or 1t is that we have

A Sheriff,s Posse.

The full name Of the Sheriff's posse
Is posse comitatus, or power of the
county; the Sheriff being the chief
executive officer of the county, he and
his assistants embody the power Of the
entire county. All male persons ex-
cept physicians and clergymen are La
BILE to be summoned to serve on the
posse, and there is no formel warning
for duty, as there is for the jury. The
Sheriff simply calls on the first suita-
BILE men whom he meets to come with
him, bringing arms, and the men are
legally bound to obey the call. In
cities the same power to limited ex-
tent lies in policemen, and Constables
in the country possess it. That is, they
may call upon the bystanders to assist
them: and persons so called upon are
bound to answer the CALL or be pun
ished for refusing to do so.

That Sinking Feeling.

A Detroit doctor is laying for boy
about Is years old, who came into his
Office one day last week, and after get
ting the doctors advice, disappeared
and has not since been seen, at least
by him.
Doctor" said the boy, Il have a sink
ing feeling all over, great many times
a day."
"Lver at night" asked the doctor.
Hardly ever"
Let me see your tongue"
The boy showed his tongue: the
doctor felt his pulse, sounded his chest,
worked stethoscope on him, listened
at his heartbeats, and then told him
what was the matter with him and
what to take for it.
Maybe my business has got some
thing to do with it, doctor," suggested
the boy, as the physician stepped into
the adjoining room to get phial.
Hardly that, think, cheerily sung
out the physician from the other room.
What is your business"
Il run an elevator" responded the
lad, and before the doctor could get to
him he had disappeared, as above
stated

Turkish superstitions.

Among other Turkish superstitions
are thess: IL pair OF scissors are
left on table open. it is sign OF a
quarrel. II they fall upon the floor
and stick up, it means visit: and II
an apple or other fruit falls from the
hand just as you are about to put it in
your mouth, it is sign some one en-
vies you. III loaf or piece Of bread
falls to the floor, it is sign that some
Of your relatives are in want of bread
in strange place. TO bite the tongue
signifies that you are not telling the
truth. The little white spots which
cone under the finger nails means va
rious things, according to the finger.
The right thumb nail means money
earned; the left, finding money or q
pre- emit. The first finger means friends,
the next enemies, the, third journeys,
and the little one -fibs. When an eye
lash falls of and flies on the cheek, /,
means a present of new gown OF

them just the most becoming she ever
had on. The variety in hats is so be-
wildering that one has to take refuge
in sort of classification OF charms.
OF absolutely new notions there are
but few. The tiny lamp-mat affair,
diamond or crescent shape, that fits
close to the head, shaping to it almost
as a skull cap, is one. These little
things are hardly larger than the palm
of ones hand and are mere bits OF del
icate silken or lace stuff. They tie
under the chin by bows bigger than
the little hat itself, and they are
trimmed with much simplicity, fire.
quently by winged bow at the back,
and ia many cases the. winged bow is
about all there is to the hat. The
characte istic of this sort is that it is
worn we'll back over tho round of the
head.
Another novelty is larger and is
shown in the first picture in this col
umn. 1t is made of coarse horse-hair
braid, with rolling brim and has a
two-inch crown, banded by folded
bias piece of ivory vel ow satin antique
which is drawn through steel buckle
in front. At the left side are placed
two ivory satin loops, and the top of the
brim is wholly covered with finely
pleated tulle lace, which is also ar
ranged in an aigrette at the left side.
A new notion of the spring trimming
is hardly pretty one. 1t is the use of
black flowers. Bunches of black viO-
lets, big black crysanthemums or black
peoples and black snow balls all claim
attention. There seems an effort at
establishing a distinction about a knot
of black flowers, as there has been for
so long about knot of purple violets,
and the oddness of black violets does
convey suggestion of distinction but
not of beauty. When they are more

some cases the hat frames in the face
almost to the chin. Tall Prince of
same tendency to apply the trimming
in detachments is shown in these as in
all hats.
In the position of the big bow on the
next hat shown, there is sem ething
reminiscent OF past seasons, but the re-
naming features of shape and adorn-
ment are much less familiar. 1t is
composed OF fancy tan straw edged
with straw lace Of the same color, ard
is trimmed with very wide tan ribbon
and small punches of forget-me-nots.
In the back Is huge upright bow of
the ribbon with large cluster of the
flowers. and the front has three small
loops and punches of the flowers en-
twined among the ribbon. Altogether
1t Is pretty and tasteful spring de-
sign.
For garden hats there are a madly
bewildering lot Of dainty leghorns, lace
over wire frames and silk chiffon con-
fections. These are trimmed with a
regular riot OF ribbon and flowers, the
latter OF all colors and kinds in muffin
Gus melee. Some OF the very prettiest
are adorned with great sprays OF lilac,

Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one
from dyspepsia, another from heart disease,
another from liver or kidney disease, another
from nervous exhaustion, or prostration,
another with pain here and there, and In
this way they all present, alike to themselves
and their easy going and indifferent, or over
busy doctor, separate and distinct diseases,
for which he prescribes his pills and potions,
assuming them to be such, when, in reality,
then are all only symptoms CAUSED by some
womb disorder The physician, ignorant Of
thecause Of suffering, encourages his practice
until large bills are made. The suffering
patient gets no better, but probably worse
by reason OF the delay, wrong treatment and
consequent complications. A proper medi-

The origin of "windfall, in the sense

William the Conqueror. 1t was then
a criminal offense to cut timber in the
forests. Only such could be gathered
as the wind had blown down: hence a
heavy wind-storm was hailed by the
peasants as so much good luck; and
hence the modern application of the
