LOSS or THE HAT.
Nothing Makes Man Madder Than "a
Have That Article Stolen

nave StOien
Nothing makes man nader" said
a philosopher, than To lose his hat.
To have il blown from his head in the
street Is bitter embarrassment; To lose
IT accidentally is severe misfortune,
and To have it stolen is the deepest,
blacklist outrage that one can suffer.
That is one crime which a man can
never forgive. The theft of almost any
other personal belonging may possibly
be condoned or eventually forgotten.
The loss of an umbrella is often exas-
perating, but at worst it only exposes a
man TO the pelting rain, but take away
mans headgear and you strike him
vital blow. don't know why il is that
a man is SO sensitive about having his
head covered. woman will go bare
headed with perfect self-possession. OF
course, she has more hair than a man,
but then she will drape shawl or a
handkerchief over her head and feel
perfectly comfortable. But remove a
mans hat and you rob him at the same
time of all confidence and self-respect.
He feels utterly helpless and exposed to
scorn and contumely, as well as to the
sun and wind. He is conscious of his
ludicrous state and imagines that every
body is laughing at him, which strs
his wrath to the boiling point.
Occasionally you may see a man
rush out of doors bareheaded in mo-
ment of great excitement, but as soon
as he comes TO his senses the first thing
he will seek Is some kind of head
covering. The merest apology for
cap or bat will suffice, but without it
he feels lost. Possibly this sentiment
is relic of the barbaric days, when all
mankind went helmeted, at the mercy
of their enemies. At any rate, the
habit of hat-wearing has been Guilt
waited so long that IL has become second
nature"

A COSTLY STRUCTURE.
IL Took q Mint of Money tn Build Solo
mons Temple.


mons Temple.
The cost of Solomon's temple and its
interior decorations and other para
phernalia was one of the wonders of
olden times According TO Villalpan-
dus, the talents of gold, silver and
brass used in its construction were val
ued at the enormous sum of 81, $40. S22,-
900. The worth of the jewels is gen.
orally placed at figure equally as
high. The vessels of gold, according
TO Josephus, were valued at l40, 900 tai
ents, which, reduced to English money
tas has been shown by Chapel's reduc-
ton tables), was equal to e5I5 ,296, 203.
The vessels of silver, according 70 the
same authorities, were still more valu-
able, being set down as worth e649,-
34i, 900. Priests vestments and robes
of singers, e2,0l0,0 200. Trumpets, $780,
600.
To. this add the expense of building
materials, labor, ETC., and we get some
wonderful figures. Ten thousand men
hewing cedars, $1,000 bearers of bur-
dens, 1000 hewcrs of stone, $500 over
seers, all of whom were employed for
seven years, and upon whom, besides
their wages, Solomon bestowed SO, 1884,

If their daily food was worth 2 shil
lings each, the sum total for all was

The materials in the rough are esti-
mated as having been worth e2,545,

The Ohio River bottom.

Although flowing in so deep a
trough, the present Ohio river is con-
siderably elevated above the ancient
bottom. This is owing to the fact that
during the glacial period such an ex-
cessive amount of gravel was brought
down from the Allegheny river and
northern tributaries that the old
channel was silted up to considerable
depth. At Cincinnati there is more
than one hundred feet of gravel be-
tween the present river bottom and the
rock bottom. Below the mouths of the
most important northern tributaries
che accumulations were much greater
than this.

------------------- BURGLfRY-TNSURaYCE

A new Boston notion is insurance against burglary. A company to put this notion into operation has been formed. It expects to operate in every State where it can secure a standing. It intends to insure residences in city and country, including those used for only part of the time, as summer cot tages, and places where goods of large value and small size are likely to be kept-such as stores, banks, vaults, rail- read stations, and express offices. It is announced that the rate charged will be .$1.5O year on each $1,o0o of insur- ance. This, it will be seen, is a high rate as compared with the average for fire sure not only against actual loss of property by burglary, but also against criminals breaking into premises.
 Although the rules of the Massachu- setts legislature require laws to be gem eral, a special charter was experiment tally given to this company. If the ex- pertinent succeeds, it is expected that the law will be made general, and this new field thrown open to all new com- paries which comply with the pre- scribed conditions. In the opinion of the insurance commissioner of Massa- chusetts, MT. Merrill, this line of insur- ance embraces more of moral hazard" than any other except fidelity insur- ance. It is perceived that a policy hold CT might burglarize his own dwelling,
 and, while collecting insurance, in- geniously convert his valuables either into cash or into forms which would make them unrecognizable. When a man burns down his house to get the insurance on it, he destroys his proper ty, and depends for the profit of the transaction upon the difference between it's market value and the bogus value for which he has insured it. But the man who robs his own premises need sacrifice nothing beyond, perhaps, a lock; and all he can extract from the insurance company is clear profit.
 Burglary-insuranc will certainly meet "a lSng-felt want" It is a very interesting fact that it is possible to make accurate calculations about the risk to be taken in such business.

THE ASSaULr ON MR, Co0pER.

THE .fSSd ULT ON NR, COOPER.
 No chime that has been committed in New Haven for many years has aroused more indignation than the dastardly assault made Saturday night upon MT, Daniel s. Cooper, That man of his age and his honest. harmless life should be so brutally treated has struck the community as peculiarly outrageous and villainous. The attack upon him was evidently premedHated and made by those well acquainted with his move- ments. It is also evident that those who made it did not intend to stop short of murder, if murder was neces- sary or convenient in carrying out their well-laid plan. That they did not kill him is apparently more luck than any thing else. There is great need that these three villains should be caught, and the policeman or anybody else who catches them will deserve prompt and generous recognition of his useful work. And if caught they should be very promptly and severely dealt with in the courts. Such criminals merit the speed jest and the severest penalties that can be visited upon them.

--'-------------------------s----- ysL ESShp TO CITE.

It is more blessed to give than 10 receive. The makers of the tariff for deficit realized this great truth when they conceded their bill and they have been greatly blessed in seeing the oper- ation of their benevolent scheme. It has given much to England and other countries. But there are people in this country who are so blind to the bless ings of giving that they are not re- ioicing in the benefcent working of the tariff for deficit. Among them are some who live as near us as OlneyVille, Rhode Island. The news comes than the affairs of the Saxon woolen mill at that place are to be wound up January 1, and the corporation will cease to manufacture goods. Foreign competi- tion has caused a great shrinkage in values which the supposed advantage of free wool has failed to offset Hun dreds of people will be thrown out of employment and there will be little chance of their returning to work until protective and selfish legislation pro- vides better conditions for the indus try. A dispatch from Providence says that 'it would cause little surprise if other wooden manufacturers should be obliged to close down their plants until some measures are taken by congress to relieve the industry from the un- favorable conditions under which it is being prosecuted
 How strange it is that those in this country who are being injured by the tariff for deficit cannot see that what is their loss is the gain of England and other countries, and be content. Why need a man in this country want steady work at fair pay if he can help other countries by having no work at m pay?

but the garment of this sketch was found lined and fitted with a collar or an imitation of ermlne that was so close as to threaten the reign of that hitherto exclusive fur. On the outside the cape was geranium colored velvet, its fronts were bordered with a ribbon ruching, while ribbon bows dotted it's circumference. These bows, with the series of tiny ones that marked the seam where collar and cape joined, matched the cape in color. Black would be quite as tasteful shade for this sort of a cape, and the brilliant green now so fashionable would also be a good choice. But, whatever the color. be prepared to be content with being fashionable at the expense of chilled arms and body in such a gar ment. Fashionable it is, very; but comfortable it's not!
 Bearing this pictured cape in mind and then turning to rug cape, the lat ters clumsy ugliness is forgiven be- cause of it's coziness The prettiest ones are of plain color outside, the shawl plaids appearing on the under side and showing where the front edge is turned back. The collar is made to stand up and the fringe is woven three times as thick at the edge of the collar as elsewhere, securing the warmth that is lacking from many wraps these days. FLORETTE.

The Chautauqua Circle method is to be adopted in Pennsylvania for the ben eft of the farmers, who have time dur ing the winter months for mental inn provemant. An agricultural reading circle has been instituted, under the direct supervision of the Pennsylvania State college. A course of agricultural and scientific reading of practical use to farmers has been marked out for them to read, and if they have any questions to ask relative to their work as farmers these questions are to be sent direct to the State college. There they will be answered by specialists Of the first ability, and thus the State col lege will be made of practical working value to every farmer in the State. There are no fees connected with this circle, and it is thought that the idea will result in more real benefit to the rural population, and hence. to the State at large, than anything that has been proposed among the farmers institutes for many years.
