Dr. E. Benjamin Andrews, president of Brown university, a delegate to the Brus- sells monetary conference and Il well known writer on social, economic and religious subjects, has never been accused of being a dandy, and he delights in doing just such things as is told herewith. The home delegation to the big Baptist anniversaries 1t Saratoga have got back, and they know something funny. This is what it Is:
 As the Baptist train en route swung by little station up in Now York state the eagle eyed operator discovered tho figure of a man slowed away on the rear platform, hat pulled down over his eyes, safe from view and everything else except the curl ing dust and flying pebbles. So tho opcr- ator wired ahead to the next station as follows: Look out for tramp on No 56, rear platform. Jones'" The operator ut the next station promptly pulled up the train, and the conductor went to the rear to investigate. There was the mana big, broad shouldercd fellow, his hat pulled down over his eyes, covered with dust, and so generally rough and tough looking that the conductor didn't banker after a tackle. So he sent for tho brakeman. What fol- lowed is indicated by tho dispatch which Operator Jones, at the back station, re- ceived a few minutes after from his broth CT operator. Here it is:

years in New York city has thcrc been such n conspicuous triumph of the spoken word as was that which Mir Hewitt then gained. Some of his uttcranccs have had n dCspairing note in them, but he has recently spoken in moro hopeful vein to some of the voluntary associations in New York organized tO secure good gov Crnmcnt and the election of honest men. He recently said that ''thc rising genera tion are confronted with n very grave and difficult problem, no less than the prrsCrva- ton of the liberty which was procured to them by the sacrifices and the wisdom of their fathers" That thought is in limo with much that Mir. Hewitt has said in private conversation of late It has seemed to him that perhaps the very perfection of liberty which has been tho lot of the citi- Iens of the United states may have caused them to be needless of danger, and at one time Mir. Hewitt seemed to despair of any hOpC of awakening tho communities to these dangers. But In this recent address he added: The spirit of reform seems at last to have been awakened in this coun- try. It Is certainly time that 1t should exert itself, for we live in an agc when the genius of destruction Is at work under mining the well settled principles of order upon which the social structure rests and must continue la stand"
 Mir Hewitt, although Democrat does not speak as a partisan, and although m employer of labor Intends not to speak as a capitalist. x man has been moro urgent tn pleading tn" rights ur labor to combine for mutual prutCCtiun than he. It is n deep and inSidiuus evil which he Is trying tO rach in these remarks. F.. |. l..

 NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-Ex- Mayor Hewitt of this city is one of those men who have taken intense interest in the remarkable and ominous developments that have been made in all parts of the country during tho past year. Mir. Hewitt is now nearing 70 years of age, but his intellectual powers secm to be untouched by tho years that have passed over his head, and ho seems to bc oven moro public spirited now that he has retired permanently from public life than he was when he held conspicuous office. Having nothing to ask of the politicians, he seems to bc gird1tl by that moral cour- ago which at times fails even some of the ablest men in public life. By n single i'm promptu speech, made not long ago, he caused tho Chamber of Commerce the most conservative and influential associa- ton of business men in New York city, to turn back on it's proposed action and to support n policy with respect to Il vast un- dCrground railway system in New York to which, before Mir. Hcwitt's speech was made, it had been opposed. Not for many

 change in the arrangement of the sash. The former long loops are now short bows, with the long ends falling to the lower edge of the skirt. The sash gives such thoroughly feminine and youth ful finish to the costume that it is sure to be received with pleasure.
 One of the airiest caprices of fashion Is an enormous tulle cravat forming a large bow, tied directly under the chin, which looks like big delusive butter fly. The latest fad of ribbon cravat is made of several yards of ribbon, quite narrow. which is used up in loops and two long ends nearly reaching to the feet. Ruches are very much worn also about the neck of gowns. spangled black tulle being the favorite now in Paris, although one can form them out of any of the lovely thin stuffs that are so plentiful Black velvet belts are in vogue too.

It is all accordion plaited and made over q white peau de soie, the wrinkled belt and collar of soft white and black silk. The large picture hat worn with this lovely gown is lace foundation trimmed with knife plaited black silk null and soft white silk folded about the crown, black tulle plaitcd and standing up straight, giving chic finish to the filmy structure. It looks so cool and such n relief after the heavy black Another extremely strik- ing gown for the same person was made with the skirt of gray and black silk pckin, stylish double breasted coat of black satin. the pointed basque cut away in front and fastened with large jet buttons. It had huge revers, covered up with the cravat of white silk muslin. elbow puffs of black satin, long gray suede gloves and a gray chip hat with parma violets.

s. M. Andree, Swedish scientist. has collected tabular information show ing the average weight of peas in their pods. The lightest peas were always found near tho ends of the pod. The average weight of a pea was greater the larger tho number of peas in the pod, so that the largest pods contained the heaviest peas. The weight of tho peas next the point of the pod increased with tho increased number of peas in the pod With the exception of the first and last peas there was but a very small differ ence in the weight of the peas in the same pod.

In that dear country which men call, With sombeI Arase, your pretty face" There is no z5:i z. there is nO fall, And bit . ws.ller finds no place. One light, one warmth, one tender air, One endless summer harbors there. In tha; dear country, side by side, There bc iwo placid lakes that sleep 'Twere worth q Kingdom to divide Each gay. unfathomable deep, And daring all things to possess The secrets of your souls recess. In other lands 'tis passing sweet To watch the whispering western wind Go ruffiing all the whitened wheat Nor leave the tiniest track behind, To see the wanton wavelets rear Their crests along the grassy mere. So does the zephyr of your smile Lead on its fairy footed dance From end To end of that dear isle And dimples all the fair expanse. And stoops its course and floats and flies In nipples OCT your laughing eyes.

Tn. History of the Cent.

The first American cent was "struck of" and put in circulation just 1Ol years ago, in l793. Previous to that date scv- eral pattern pieces" had been made, but they were experiments only and were never put in circulation. Tho so called Wash ington cents, ?" which existed previous to the date above given, were not issued by the government and were therefore only medals. Tho cent of 1T03 was very sim liar to the largo copper cents of later date, with the exception that tho face of "Lib- erty'' was turned to tho right, and tho legend "One Cent" was ineloscd in q chain of l3 links.-St. Louis Republic.
