With one of those good intentions
with which the internal regions are

housewife recently dyed her hubby's
shabby hat The operation was per-
formed, says the Philadelphia Record,

patent dye, unknown to the owner of
the headgear, who put his hat on be-
fore it was dry and sailed forth to his
Chestnut street Office On drying the
Derby turned beautiful bronze, at
tracing no little attention as it's igno-
rant and llissful wearer passed
through the principal streets. Before
he reached the Office he was caught
in shower, and when he afterward
saw himself in mirror his counte-
rance was decorated like that of an
Indian chieftain in war paint. The
dye wasn't fast black-indeed, it
wasn't even black, and to the preiu-
diced eye Of the unhappy husband it
seemed to have been composed of
green, pink, blue, purple and yellow.
The lecture he delivered on false econ

Students at Heidelberg Cling to the DuellO
to Vindicate Their Honor.
The duels at Heidelberg are very IA
nous. There is, perhaps, no university
in Germany at which dueling is not
practiCed, but here it is regarded al
most rs a religious duty. The sons of
therlch congregation atHeidelberg and
they are the people who are especially
add led to this form of student pastime
in Germany 1t is not an eXaggeration
to say that between 20 and SO duels
take place here every week during the
semester, 9nd these nearly ali at the
Heidelgasse, a little tavern across the
river from Heidelberg which is known
and advertised everywhere rs the place
of r,*ort for such encounters. 1t has
served in this capacity for great many
yeas. The signbonrds point to it.
1t IS mentioned in the guide books
and everyone knows of it except the
university officials and the police. 1t
is not n ten-minute walk FROM the cen
ter OF the town, though it rs outside
the city jurisdiction. This, however,
seems TO be matter of no moment,
for me of the clubs for period last
year fought in the town itself. at a tay-
ern directly in the shadow OF the old
castle. There are duels here some
three or four mornings every week by
the members of the various fighting
clubs, of which Heidelberg has an
enormous number. The most aristo-
cratic of them all is the Saxe-Borussia.
This club bears cartel relations with
the Dcrussio of Bonn, to which the
Hohenzollerns belong. Five or six
dueIs between various combatants are
usually fought on the same morning.
This is all curious commentary of
law and order as they are supposed to
exist in Germany Such Tnnchinery
for the enforcement of law as is TO lie
found here lourishes in no other land
in the world, and yet, for one reason or
another, the duel goes on unhindered.
BY the laws of the empire, without
taking into account the penalties pre-
scribcd by the lower jurisdictions,
there is the most severe punishment for
due ng and the challenging to duel.
In spite OF various attempts TO make
other interpretations, the student duets
have, by the supreme court Of the en-
pire. been decided TO be ducls in the
sense of the law. Yet, publicly in the
reichstag, no longer ago than lost VIM
ter, an esteemed member of the kaiser's
ministry declared himself and his gov
ernment at issue not only with the
laws and the supreme court, hut with
whatever moral feeling there may be
in the land against this malevolent
form of eyil.-Philadelphia Telegraph

Sad Mistake Made by a short-sighted

Sad Mistake Made by a Short-Sighted
Bishop in England.
There is hat story in which we'll
known bishop and a lately-deceased
marquis played leading parts. The mar
quis, who married a Gaiety chorus girl,
and, generally speaking, lived up to the
high standard of his marriage life, was
accustomed to wear particular style
of hat, shorter than that favored by
most men. One day, says the St. James
Budget. he went into his hatmalSer's
in Piccadilly and asked for a new one to
be made. The shopwalller took the hat,
and walked down to the far end of the
shop to give the requisite instructions,
leaving the hatless marquis standing IN
the shop. At this moment there entered
the short-sighted bishop of X, also in
want of new headgear. He saw only
a small man, who might have passed for
a shopkeepcr, standing staring at him.
So he took his peculiar hat off his head
and went up to him. "Do you think,
my good man." he said, persuasively,
that you have hat like that?" The
marquis looked at him for a moment,
speechless with indignation, while the
shopkeeper, seeing what was amiss,
hurried up as fast as he could. Cnfor-
tunately, the marquis found his voice
before the hat man reached his client.
NO. he said giving the bishop back
his headgear: 81 haven't got hat like
that, and if 1 had I'm bowed if would

Mandy, the famous Paris moliste, re-
fses to make boomers for his customers.
Asked to give his reason, he said: THE
quantity of cloth makes the boomers un-
bearable in hot weather aud it is impos-
sible to keep them clean. The dirt and
dust come in between the plaits and folds,
necessitating incessant brushing, and they
never look really clean, especially when
made in dark colors. on the wheel they
neither improve bad figure nor show off
good one. The rider in small limbs and
hips looks ridiculous in them, while the
rider with large hips who takes to the BIZ
cycle to reduce her weight, dressed in
bloomers, is a bad advertisement for her
TAILOR or dressmaker, and the laughing
stock of people of good taste. No woman
with good figure should hide it in bloom
ers, and there is hardly n first-class tailor
that would willingly undertake to make
