H Charles Dunne, who was formerly in the hat business in Canada, tells the Washington Star that all fastidious Canadians used to wear New York hats but nowadays get their lneadwear from England. ''The reason is," he says, that the English makers have far out stripped the Americans in the adoption of improved machinery, and can pro- duce far more cheaply. It costs, for in stance, in this country, $350 per dozen for finishing hats, as against 35 cents across the. water, because in the United States the finishing is handwork, while in England it is done with hy- draulic machine"

 When Captain Slack, of the United States Marine corps, died last October hs directed in his will that his sister, a resident of Trenton, New Jersey, should have the care and custody of his two minor daughters, instead of their mother. The widow began a suit in the New Jersey courts to recover posses sion of her children, but in the mean time they were taken to Washington, where the will was made, and then it was found that under an old law, still in full force in the District, man had @ perfect right to dispose of his chill dren by will, just as he had of his mon- ey or any other real or personal prop erty. The attention of Senator Hale was attracted to the case, and he has offered a resolution directing the com- mittee on the District of Columbia to investigate and report If such relic of barbarism remains upon the statute books of the District"

 Vermont is being systematically stocked with various species of game birds from other States and lands, un- der the direction of a department of the State Game Commission. A number of Mongolian pheasants, which have been introduced in several Pacific States with much success, were recently re ceived at the headquarters of the conl- mission. The birds are to be kept in confinement and the eggs distributed in various parts of the State. The eggs will be set under domestic hens, and the young pheasants will, at the proper time, be set free in the forests.

structures in the city, and in the hall large
balls were held and several military COM

LEGEND of Tell of Uri Explained.

Swiss papers have Of late been full Of
the legend Of William Tell Did be eX-
list or was he a pure myth? At the Alt
orr commemoration and the Fetspiel
then given, history and legend, persona
fed by two beautiful women, discussed
the question with critical acumen. His
tory accepted the role of Mrs Betsy
Prig, and didn't believe there never
was no SIGH a person. " Legend seemed
to be Of the opinion that, even if he did
not exist, it was well to invent him, as
he represented the life Of nations in
their Struggle against tyrants.
A Swedish savant Of Upsala has, how
ever, settled the vexed question much to
his own satisfaction. The hero is the
spirit Of tie pine forests. This seems
quite natural. Pines have hitherto yield
ed chiefly tuypontine, but there is no
reason why they should not produce a
spirit Of their own. The east wind is
the foe from the east (Austria) which
bows their lofty heads, and Tells enc
my is merely Geiseler, the German for
a scourger. Another name for the east
wind is Eurus, and this in some way
got mixed with the canton Of Uri. Now,
Uri was proud Of its archery, and this
small conceit was the genesis Of the
record breaking apple trick. And thus
the whole legend is explained. Pail

The MIserIes Of Doing Nothing.

Idleness plays many parts. There are
the constitutionally indolent - those
who, like Dr. Johnson, are never phys
ically ready to get up in the morning,
but who, like him, are possessed Of a
conscience which compels them now and
again to face the reflection Of what they
have, compared with what they might
have, done, and to stand aghast at the
comparison.
There are those whom circumstances
have made idle-riches. absence Of mo-
tives for exertion; i'll health, real or
fancied; indulgent friends, and much
more often by self indulgence That
idleness is one of the seven deadly sins

A NEW ART PROCESS.
The Monotype Craze In Paris Is Reaching
over Here.

The Monotype Craze In Paris Is Reaching
over Here.
An effective departure in art is the
new mmotype that is beginning to find
il, way to America from Paris, where
it has enjoyed for some months vio-
lent popularity. The process was discov-
cred by Hubert Horkimer. The artistic
folk Of Paris were quick to see is pos
sibilities, and the fame thereof flew
like wildfre through the inhammable
PAINTERS quarters. Monotype parties
have been one Of the latest fads Of these
arpreciatiye people. Artists infected
with the craze and their curious friends
gather in some accessible studio in ar
dent groups to turn oct these pictures.
The excitement lies in the fact that no
one can foresee quite how they will turn
out; the pleasure, not in the novelty,
though that, Of course, contributes to
it, but mostly in the potent truth that
in no other way can the same effects Of
light and shade be obtained
To produce the monotype the artist
paints his study upon a zinc plate,
which is put through press. As the
name implies, only one impression is
produced Those that are done in one
color are the most successful as yet,
though some Of the two color attempts
are very charming The subtlety Of GER
tain delicate effects, as, for instance,
sunlight on water, is rendered by this
new phase Of art in a truly marvellous
manner Although the cordiality Of
Paris may not be expected, perhaps, in
America for the monotype, there can be
no doubt that they will be warmly re-
ceived here when they are once at home
in our art exhibits, and when, too, the
public has learned to understand them
sufficiently to appreciate the fact that
a favorite study, produced in this way,
will not be found duplicated in a neigh
boris drawing room. This is now the
fear of the careless art patron who seems
to have some hazy idea Of etchings in
his mind.
The practical wife Of an artist who
HIS ldltIN ltl ulutu HUN ais W llu lut
monotype fever raging in his blood COM
plains ruefully, "Why, my husband
took the clotheswringer away from the
maids for press to produce those pic
lures :" She smiled with woman's su-
periority as she added: "He said they
could have it back again 1t would take
at least three hours to remove that oily
paint with turpentine every time they
used il. " With a sigh, Il have bought
new wringer." So there is sordid
side even to such gems of art as this
wife displays with a pride that must
soften if it doesn't effacc the domestic
inconvenience.
The aesthetic side is Venetian scenes
in brown, an old stone bridge in gray,
mountain peaks and a seascape in blue
and a cluster Of picturesque willows in
green. Who could mind the loss Of one
wringer after feasting the eyes on such
exquisite shading, particularly il it isn't
her wringer?-New York Times

Measures of Values.

A dollar Is not a measure Of length,
breadth, thickness or weight, but Of
value. A measure Of length. breadth
and thickness must have standard length
in order TO be a true measure. A meas
IRE Of weight must have true weight,
but when 1t comes to considering what
shall be the requisite quality Of meas
IRE Of value the free silver people say
that value is Of no moment, remarks
the Mobile Register; that if it have a
certain name stamped on it and be call
ed a true measure Of value it will be a
true measure Of value. This is as absurd
as would be an attempt to call yard
stick Of 80 inches a true measure Of
length, or a pound Of ten ounces weight
a true measure Of weight. The only true
measure Of value is a measure which
contains full value Any other sort Of a
measure which is offered as a true meas
ure is false and will be rejected by the
people. -Floridian
