The Curve in Hats. y

The great point in hats nova
days, writes Cousin Madge in Lon
don Truth, is the character of the
curve. If we suppose family Of
some nine or ten sisters, with
certain similarity of outline, we
shall yet find that no two of them
look their best in exactly the same
hat. What then must it be with
the world Of girlhood at large? 1t
is absolutely safe to say that there
never was yet any hat worn by
sisters in which one was not, to a
certain extent, sacrificed to the
other. Take, for instance, the large
picture hat of soft and flexible fine
black chip, with its multitude of
exquisite feathers for trimming,
and it's one blush rose at the back
with another companion bud rest
ing on the hair under the curve at
the left side. 1t might be imag-
ined that such headgear as this
would make any girl look her love-
lest, but when one comes to try it
on, it is found that certain
amount of alteration in the very
important point Of curve will be
necessary in most cases.

TARIFF TINKERING.
Putting Wool on the Free List.

WASHINGTON, June 16.-After
some unimportant business the
tariff bill was laid before the Sem
ate and vote was Immediately
taken. The pending amendment
of PETER to transfer all the manu-.
features, composed wholly or in
part of wool to the free list,
was defeated by 3 to 46. Three
Populists, Allen, Kyle and PETER,
voted in favor Of it, Hansbrough
announced that he would have
voted aye had he not been
paired. The Senate then plung-
ed into actual consideration
of the wooden SEIZED ule, first, para
graph 27S, placing a duty of Is per
cent on wool and hair, and
wool, in the form of irving, roping
or tops. In the following para
graph, dutiable at ID cents, Vest ex-
planned that the finance committee
had been moved to place a duty on
shoddy and waste, in order to ex.
clude them from the country, to
the end that the manufac-
ture of shoddy so prevalent
in this country might to a certain
extent cease. One of the purposes
for placing wool on the free list
was to discourage the manufac-
facture of shoddy. Under Mckinley
act the manufacture of shoddy
Vest said, had doubled. Last year
it reached ninety million dollars

Conscientious Parson.
From London Answers.

From LONDON Answers.
A wedding took place a short
time back in a large town in the
north of England, the service being
conducted by a rather eccentric
vicar. Two days after the ceremony
he called at the house of the BRIDE
groom's mother, but she happened
to be out, so he said he would call
again, which he did later on in the
day, carrying two large green
bags under his arm.
This time he found her in. So
he began by asking them to clear
the table a little; then he opened
the green bags, from which he took
the registers. These he opened, and
in most solemn tone said:
"Mrs. Williams, you have forgot
ten to dot the ~ in Elizabeth"
The family breathed once more
