HOW WOMEN ARE DIFFERENT.

Women always show by their actions
that they enjoy going 10 church,; men
are less demonstratiye. When a WON.
an becomes furried she feels for fan;
when a man becomes furried he
feels for a cigar Women jump at
conclusions and generally hit; men
reason things out logically and gen.
orally miss the truth. Some women
can't pass a millinery shop without
looking in; some men can't pass a
public house without going in. A
woman never sees a baby without
wanting to run to it; a man never
sees a baby without wanting to run
away from it. Women love admiral
ton, appreciation, self-immOlation on
the part of others; are often " cak,
vain and frivolous. Ditto men. A
woman always carries her purse in
her hand, so that other women will
see it; man carries it in his inside
pocket so that his wife won't see il.
A woman can sit in a theater for
three hours without getting all cramD-
ed up, ca Iching the toothache. or be-
coming faint for want Of fresh air; a
man can't. A woman from her sex
and character, has a claim to many
things besides her shelter food and
clothing. She is not less a woman for
being welded. and the man who is
fit to be trusted with a good wife
recollects all which this implies. and
shows himself at all times chivalrous,
Sweet-spoken, considerate and defer

FASHION NEWS.
Black and Brown With a Touch OF
Blue on Hat

bldch ana Brown with q 1Ouch OF
Blue on a Hat
Black and brown, with touch OF
blue really like a bruise, is the IA
YOrite street hat, and. for once. the
combination is a good one. Let the
hat be black, arrayed in feather
duster-like, with oddly spread plumes
of brown, and add recklesly a knot
of clear bluet velvet somewhere where
there is really nothing that needs
knotting. Then tip the hat we'll over
the forehead so the peak of the hair
parting is covered, and have the down
trained side locks cut off the temples
in way we would have died rather
than risk year ago. Carry the head
high and console yourself that no mat
ter what your own opinion of your
looks may be, you are really correct.
Such eccentricitieS are plentiful now
adayS, in headWear, and the artist
has chosen a thoroughly odd hat for
this picture. 1t is made of moss green
velvet, with a waved and bent brim
resting on q twisted velvet band
upper side Of the brim is covered with
a velvet pleating, and the garniture
consists of pale green aigrette and
silver gray and green wings.
Small sailor-like hats of brown vel
vet with narrow brims are. folded
round and round with brilliant silk
bandannas, the folds rising above the
crown of the hat and spreading co the
very edge Of the brim. The scarf is
then knotted in handkerchief fashion
at one side and the resultant rise is
reinforced by a bunch of little Jetted
feathers. The baDdanna should show
nearly every color that was ever in
vented, and the feathers shoCid be de
cOrOusly black. Such hat and com
bination of color will really so with
everything, because one VIII find q
harmonious match somewhere i'll its
rainbow dazzle.
A smooth felt blocked very stiff i
the right thing to wear with the tailor
gown, and some shape with 4 slight
AMI untrimmed brim should be Sc

BABY AND EVOLUTION.
What the Furrow Under the Nose Is
Relic Of.

Below the nose runs a furrOW part
ing the upper lip. In the faces OF
babies and children this furrOW is
very noticeable. From the evolution,
lists point of view it is one of the
most remarkable characters of the
face. 1t tends to become obsolete iii
old age and it is not seen among the
Catarhine monkeys. Among The Platy-
rhineS it is but feebly developed, but
in LemtrS it is in a more pronounced
state-there is a depressed septuIn to
which the two side pieces are joined
the upper lip, in fact, is nearly split
in two, but held together by a de
pressed piece of flesh. In the Marsu-
palia and ROdentia the lip is prac-
tically in two pieces and EACH piece
is capable of being moved separat ely.
This is the "harelip" and its method
of use may we'll be noticed in a hare
or a rabbit when eating.
The furrOw. therefore, in. a child's
lip points to this: That our ancestors
possessed, not a single upper lip, as
we do now, but two upper lips, one
beneath each nOstril, both capable of
independent movement. In the course
of time these two lips have, owing to
the nOn-requirement of Independent
movement, grown together to form
the single lip which we now possess,
but the line of junction is not perfect
and so the furrOw results, and some
times there is a distinct scar down the
middle of the furrow.
The possession of this furrowed up
per lip by children is one of the
strongest pieces of evidence against
the descent of man from any Cata-
rhine and in favor of his descent from
Platyrhines or from Lemurs through
the intervention of Platyrhine-Hke an
cestors, of which there are no exact
living representatives.

gineers. He doubted the constitution
ality of the present bill.

that they throw off the spirit of
lethargy which. be said, had crept
over the body creating the general
impression that nothing is to be en-

or at least nothing to which the mi
nority does not consent. I am siren
