pulsory for certain members thereof TO
wear high hats? Whether becoming or
unbecoming II mattered not, tho snort,
the tall, the fat, the thin, all have them
and they must needs wear them with the
result that seven out OF every ten men ap-
pear as if they fell off Christmas trees.
A becoming hat is just as necessary for
man as it is for woman. The style of
hat which would look good on you would
make the other fellow look like a Ounce.
BY the way did you know that the hat
trade was booming. 1t seems the stock OF
, hats had run low during the summer
argument at Washington but now that it
is temporarily over the fac ories are rushed
with orders. One dealer on Westminster
street told me yesterday that a drummer
told him that his factory was running
night and day and a thousand hats al
ready sold which they had not delivered.
While IN hat mood 1 stepped into
Wood q Watson's and in conversation
with the latter gentleman learned that
what had been told me was dou btless true
but fortunately he had u first class stock
of this seasons goods and was making
specially of ~ hat in browns and blacks,
the former being the favorite color with
the young men and that the same quality
OF hat was sold for 81 short time since.
"Why l can remember said MIR. Watson
years ago the hat-that we are selling for
g / sold on the road for S2f a dozen
and the dealer of course wasn't in
business for his health" This
firm OF well known hatters and
furnishers are the sole agents for the
famous Knox hat and, by the way, / left
my order for one, but that does not mat
ter, v hat / wish to impress upon the
minds of the reader is that If he wishes a
hat of fine quality, one inst will keep its
color and shape, call for one of those -
hats above referred to. This firm deals
direct with the manufacturers there by
saving the jobbers' profits which benefits
the buyer. OF course there may be other
g hats in town, but there is none TO equal
to say nothing of excelling the special
line offered by Wood & Watson, SO West

safe hit in the remaining seven innings.

Dyke scored the winning run in the 10th.

That happened 10 be the weakness, and
as Providence didn't develop weakness in
any part of the game, but gave an exhibi-
tion worthy OF ball players, the Grays
naturally won. Besides, the score shows
that the victory was well earned.

"A curious phenomenon sometimes
occurred on such occasions The cold
gusts which forced themselves in

shower Of snow in the carriage.
"A few of the passengers appeared

about the stove. One, a tall, sturdy
soldier, carrying a sword of tremep-

THE WORK OF A MIGHTY BLAST.
Nearly zoe, 200 Tons Of Rock Joosened By
a Single Explosion.

Nearly zoe, 900 Tons Of Rock Joosened By
Single Explosion.
For many years huge mass OF rock
technically known as 'dike," legacy
from previous workers, has frowned
over one of the Great DineTwic quarr1es,
the property Of Mr.. Asseht0n Smith,
and has been a growing menace to the
safety Of men employed in the galleries
below, which, in a series Of terraces, rise
almost from the edge of the lake far up
the steep breast Of the mountain. The
Hon. w. w. Vivian, who manages the
uuarries for Mr.. Assertion Smith, de-
cided to remove the dixie, and during the
last three months preparations for its
destruction have been in active progress.
From three longitudinal tunnels in the
solid rock 10 chambers, each II feet by
4 feet, were made and charged with gel
attn dynamite. Each bag of this ex-
plosive was placed In position by Mr..
Vivian himself Everything having been
satisfactorily arranged, Mrs. Assertion
Smith was requested to fire the 20 min
utes' time fuse leading 10 the mass of
some 2t tons Of gelatin dynamite safely
packed in the entrails of the rock, re-
quest to which she readily acceded. The
hour was fixed for 1 o'clock on Satur-
day, and shortly before the time thou
sands Of people from Llanberis and ad-
jacent villages-Bangor, Carnarvon and
other towns-took up advantageous posi-
tions in the neighborhood.
Punctually at the appointed time Mrs.
Assehton Smith fred the time fuse, and
at 02 o'clock the earth for a mile round
was shaken as if by an earthquake. At
the next instant the face of the tremen-
dous dixie, which lowered gloomily up
ward and on either side of which the
rain covered rock glistened in passing
burst Of sunshine, began to culver omi-
nously, and the loose earth in its crevices
clattered down its smooth face like an
avalanche. Next from different parts of
therock came sputtering bursts of smoke,
and then enormous blocks detached them
selves from the mountainous mass of rock.
toppled slowly forward and finally crash
ed into the abyss below with deafening
uproar, which, mingling with the thun-
ders of the exploding dynamite, now
freed from its rocky prison, reverberated
grandly among the mountains that tow
cred ruggedly into the cloud darkened
sky. Again and again was the downfall
Of the huge masses Of rock repeated till
$50, 900 tons lay like "tumbled fragments
of the hills" far below. A dense white
smoke, the deadly afterdamp, clung for
awhile around the scene of the eexplosion,
and, when cleared away, in the place Of
the dixie there was great gap. in which
glistened here and there pinnacles of
splintered rocks.-London Telegraph.

An Animated Cradle Rocker.

During one ot his trips to the Coast
Range mountains, Joe Cohen, a ped
dler, came to lonely cabin and found
the door WIDE open.
In the center of the floor stood a
cradle, in which was an infant fast
asleep. The cradle was rocking with
surprising regularity, but no sign of
what propelled it could be seen.
Joe's curiosity was aroused. He
went TO the cradle and found q stout
cord attached to a nail driven in the
side of it. The cord passed through
an augerhole in the side of the house.
He took up the trail, which soon led
him into ravine where donkey, or
burro, was standing and switching
its tail
The mystery was explained. The
other end of the cord was tied to the
jacks tail, and the constant switch.
ing of its caudal appendage furnished
motive power sufficient to rock the
