WOULDN'T WEAR 1T.
Sad Mistake Made by q Short-Sighted
Bishop in England.


There is hat story in which a WE'LL
known bishop and lately-deceased
marquis played leading parts. The mar
quis, who married 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 lawmakers
in Piccadilly and asked for new one to
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 shoplzeeper, 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,
chat you have a 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. Unfor-
tunately, the marquis found his voice
before the hat man reached his client.
"No," he said giving the bishop back
his headgear; II haven't got d hat like
that, and if 7 had I'm blowed if I would
wear It'll"

Navel Oranges.

It has been shown that the tanger-
inc orange and possibly some other
varieties are formed through the effort
of the orange to make a secondary
growth at the apex of the original one,
only that it failed to make any original
at all. In other words, the tangerine
orange is a well-developed secondary
fruit. How this can be brought about
may be readily understood by carefully
examining the oranges known in the
market as the navel variety. In these
cases a small orange can often be found
at the apex, sometimes of considera BILE
size. When the small one is largely
developed and the larger one wholly
suppressed, tken we have the tanger-

Big Bills Follow Husbands Scheme to
Hide Cost of Cigars.
One of the funniest things that have
occurred in Joliet during the present
year, says the Joliet Qll.) Republican,
was the mishap of a gentleman who
formerly lived on the west side, but is
now a resident of the city, and whose
wife ran the store bill and looked after
the household expenses. He was in the
habit, by agreement with his grocer, of
having his cigars and occasionally
goods that were not exactly cigars
charged up as potatoes. One evil day
his wife took her pencil and began to
reckon up the accounts. She finally
found that the family had eaten over
three car loads of potatoes in less than
a year, and she just didn't believe that
the account was correct. The smoker
and the smokers grocer were between
the upper and the neither milestone for
several days, and it was doubtful who
would be pulverized the finest, but
finally an explanation was made that
Modified the wife, even if it didn't
satisfy her as to the correctness of the
grocer's charge for potatoes.

He loads his wagon the night before

ing. 1t is a drive of II miles to this

AS he approached the United States

shouted at him and asked him if he had
brought his hens to market roosting

paid no attention. supposing the man
was guying him. But when he stopped

Two of the latter were panic-stricken
and started down Federal street. One
was caught on Temple street and the
other got down almost to Exchange
street before it was aptured. The cook
at the hotel bought the four hens for
one dollar and took them home.
How many hens were asleep under

home he can't tell, but it is very posi-
BILE that there were more than four.

SHERMAN AS A BOY.
a Youthful Prank Recalled by Him After
Gaining Fame.


Gaining Fame.
Among my school adventures at
Mount Vernon, says the Memoirs of
Senator Sherman, was one [ heartily
regret. We had teacher by the name
of Lord He was a small man and not
able to cope with several of the boys in
the school We called him H'Bunty
Lord" One evening after school four
boys, Of whom | was one, while playing
on the commons, found a dead sheep.
1t was suggested that we carry the
sheep into the schoolroom and place it
on Lords seat. This was promptly
done, and wrote Latin couplet, pur-
porting that this was very worthy
sacrifice to a very poor Lord, and placed
it on the head of the sheep. The next
morning Lord found the sheep and
made a great cutlery against the indig-
nifty Efforts were at once made to as
certain the actors in this farce, and
proof was soon obtained. My hand
writing disclosed my part in the case,
and the result was a prompt discharge
of the culpriGs from the school, but
poor Lord lost his place because of his
manifest inability to govern his I'M
ruly pupils.

a NEW WOMAN.
Now Takes Quick Lunch Like Male
PhiIIstines.

Phiiistines.
The new woman is becoming newer
and newer as she grows older. This
may sound like paradox, but the new
woman knows better than that, says
the New York Press.
The latest stride made by the new
woman is to sit up to lunch counter
like a man shd eat her pie and drink
her coffee in a hurly-burly, as her re-
pudiated lord and master does down
town in the middle of the day. There
is large dry goods store, where bar
gains in ginghams, laces, jewelry and
gloves are only a preliminary to the
bargains in lunch that are offered in
the newly fitted up lunch room in the
place. Here the new woman sits
astride of her stool, orders her sand
witch and lone in the dark with the
aplomb that comes to one sure of her
position.
The new woman has taken to the
lunch counter idea with a great deal
of warmth. She was a little doubtful
about it when it was first proposed,
but now that she has tried it she is
more indignant with man than ever
for keeping her in ignorance so long
about this charmingly uncomfortable
way of swallowing a meal.
The business and professional man,
who is compelled to wrestle at lunch
counter every day, regards it as great
deal of a bore, but to the new woman
it is a glimpse of astronomical para
disc.
The experiment made by this par
ticular store has proved to be SO sue
cessful that it is certain there VIII be
other lunch counters in big New York
dry goods stores.

NJ ailLMg q Bicycle

An American tourist is said to have
recently sent his bicycle from London
to Paris by mail at a cost of a few pence
and received it in perfect order. That
looks like yarn, burt tits straight. The
English parcels post now carries mail
packages not over 20 pounds in weight,
and not of a higher value than 500,
from any point in England to any place
in France at what appears to be a ri
diculously low tariff The bicycle
weighed just % pounds. The wheels
and handle bars were removed from the
frame, and carefully wrapped in heavy
paper, so as 20 make a compact bundle,
before the postage was paid, and when
the wrapp1ngs were removed at the
tourists hotel in Paris the machine
was in perfect condition.
