Couldn't Marry on sso. .9o9 a Year.

"No," remarked tho young man with touch of sadness in his voice, ''it may be that some day happiness will be mine, but at present it is beyond mo. There is a girl whom I love dearly, She would have me if only asked her, but I dare not. l really cannot marry and live on e6,O0O a year" His two friends to whom he spoke looked at him in wonder. For a moment they were speechless-con- sternation and pity depicted on their youthful countenGnces. But present ly speech returned to them exactly at the same time, and they fairly howled ;n their excitement: 'You cannot mar " on e6,0 a year? Why not?' Why not?" echoed the youth with the sad voice, which grew still Sadder. Why, simply because l haven't the 5000" And the mystery was explained.

NAPoLeONS HATS.
Existing Relics or fho Great French Elm.
 HeTor.


 FeTor.
 Careful inquiry has led to the discov- cry that there are 70 fewer than nine of Napoleon Is hats still in existence. 4 writer in The Vie Contcmporaine gives a list of them. One is in the pos session of Mime. Claitte, whose grand father, Gen. Giraud, picked it up at MarengO. At critical moment Bona parte started off at gallop, and the wind blowing off his hat Ae did not stop to pick it up.
 Another of the hats, says the London Daily News, is in a little crypt beside Napoleon's tomb at the Invalides. This was worn on the 7th, Sth and 9th of February, 1907, at Eylau, and it is the identical one represented in the colossal picture of the battle by Gros, to be seen in the Louvre. During the peace which succeeded the battle Gros was commissioned to paint the picture, and in order that the figure of the en- peror might be faithfully depicted the hat was given to tue painter.
 At the death of Gios in 1895 it was found under a glass case upon a wooden stand. and it was sold by auc- tion among the painters effects for two thousand and forty-seven francs fifty centimes to pr. Delacroix, who presented it to Louis Philippe. The latter, after the famous second funeral of Napoleon, ordered it to be placed be- side the remains with the emperor's crosses and the sword he wore at Aus terlitz. Of the remaining hats, one belongs to Prince Victor Napoleon and another to the museum at Gotha.

New Use fer Rubber.

Good results are obtained by using rubber in connection with an anchor rope in equalizing and relieving strain in dredging, and in measuring the depth and swiftness of currents. For merly a severe strain was caused by a sudden jerking in a pitching vessel. This is now overcome by what is called a rubber accumulation. which consists of seventy rubber, discs or buffers on a middle rod, so arranged that by com pression they act as spring. The buyers are cylindrical in shape, two and one-quarter inches in thickness, and separated from one another by metal discs one-eighth of an inch thick, and two inches larger in diameter than the rubbers, which on expansion do not overlap the metal surfaces. In this device it is found that a compres- sion can be had of five feet, which is sufficient to distribute the strain along the entire length of the ship. The ap- plication is made by running the rope from reel located aft to the middle of the foremast, and then passing it through the rubber accumulation to the end of the anchoring boom, which is 8 spar thirty feet long. From this the rope with a two hundred-pound weight attached is dropped vertically into thu

Springer says that such canvasses as
have been made are informal and in

says the purpose has not been to learn
who will vote for the bill, but who are
against 1t, in order that the objections
may be met and overcome. Other
members interested in the management
of the bill profess to know nothing of an
exact canvass. 1t is undoubtedly true,
however, thota pretty close count has
been made with the result stated.
There are SO many propositions, sub
stitutes and amendments pending, that
it is probable any canvass would fail to
show the vote under the many varying
circumstances which may be presented.
The wide margin for difference OF can-

Little or No Opposition to the Demo-
cratic Meeting.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 5.-There appears
little or no opposition to the Democratic
CAUCUS on the currency bill to be held
on Monday. 1t was reported today that
some southern members would refuse
to enter the caucus or to be governed by
this action. Mr.. Holman, chairman of
the committee, said:
II think the attendance will be gem
eral, even though some members may
not entirely agree with the sentiments
of the caucus majority on what ought to
be done. A house caucus ia for confer
ence and advice and does not bind mem
bers on their votes to action.'
Chairman Springer of the currency
committee said he had heard of no op-
position to the caucus. He thought the
feeling Was generally in favor of it.
Representative Bland said he had not
signed the request for caucus, but he
would attend. He said he believed in
caucus attending to bring members to-.
gether, but not as binding them to q
course of action they did not per-
sonally approve. When the eau.
US petition was circulated yes
terday four Democratic members
asked to be excused from signing. They
explained that they wanted TO see how
the petition turned out and asked that
it be returned to them. 1t WAS reported
today that Mr.. McLaurin and other
South Carolina members would decline
to attend. This could not be confirmed,
however. as Mr.. McLaurin has not been
