WOMEN'S HIGH HATS.
There Must Be Some Deep Philosophic.
Meaning In Them.

There Must Be Some Deep Philosophicai
Meaning In Them.
There must certainly be SOCIOLOGICAL
significance to the added height of many
hat crowns worn by women and girls this
winter. 1t cannot be wholly whim of
the sort of fashion which governs the
wearer thereof. There is an assertiye.
ness about the high, the stepping, the
bell-crowned hat which must have some
sort OF deep philosophical significance
1t one could dive deep enough into the
meaning of things to find it, says the
Boston Transcript. To be sure, it would
take diving-bell the size of bell
crowned hat at least to make the
plunge in with anything like safety
But presupposing that, why not inquire
seriously If these towering hats mean
that caprice stands at bay before per.
scouting world? Can it be that the
goddess OF whim has determined to defy
all onslaughts of reason or even Of
good STYLE" and has perched in this
form upon thousand heads of blonde
or brown or black, ruling these brains
feminine in theater or concert or in the
sanctuary? The high hat has been suf-
ficiently attacked for its unbiquitous-
ness at the theater. It merely bristles
higher, like an offended cats back. Rut
the high hat at church, particularly at
. Unitarian or Quaker meeting, is a ter
rble barrier to devotional thought. es-
peclally 1t one wishes to see the preach
er. A reverend psychologist, who goes
one deeper into things than our Law
province permits, says that it may well
be questioned whether or not the hiph
hats worn by too many New England
women nave had subtle compelling
1nnueuce in drawing Yankee men into
episcopal churches, since there at least
tnese mats may not constantly tower,
haunting defiance to man. but must
bow down good part Of the time. --

Animal ResembIances.

1t has often been stated that
people who have charge of GER
tain animals grow to be like them
in feature, and, probably, to an
extent, in habits. An hostler's
face, for instance, tends to resem-
BILE that of a horse, while the
keeper of monkeys develops fea-
lures which bear likeness to that
animal, and men in charge of cat
tie become bovine in appearance.
L have heard, says a writer in
It'd Bits, that the Esquimaux and
Baps, when they are in the water,
are in constant danger of being
shot by seal hunters because they
look SO much like seals. In each
case the head only appears above
the water, and somewhat the same
expression of countenance is COM
mon to both. [ cannot explain
the reason why such resemblance
should come to pass; L only say
that such does happen to be the
case.
l don't exactly remember what
led me to take up the study of
physiognomy, unless it was that
one day 1 happened to catch sight
of man with face which imme-
diately reminded me of camel.
Countenances bringing to mind
foxes, pigs, elephants, balloons,
fawns, rabbits, tigers and a host
of other animals are to be met
with. ..
The goat face is familiar to all
of us, but not so the face resem-
bling an owl. Such a one has
come before me. One could Gee
distinctly the round face, eyes like
globes, and the thin nose remind
ing one of the beak. The cat is
also represented, as. is also the
more ferocious tiger, while the
bulldog-like physiognomy of the
Bill Sykes genus is very common.
1t must not be supposed that l
am citing solitary cases. If the
eyes are wide open and used free
ly, it will be possible to notice in
stances of animal face almost
every day of ones lifetime.

RUSSIA HAS no INTEREST.
The TransvaaI Crisis Does Not Worry
the Car.


ST.. PETERSBURG, January s.
The Novoe Yremya urges Russia
to join the alliance of powers for
Intervention in South Africa. She
would thus, it claims, secure Dutch
and Portuguese coaling stations in
the event of an Anglo-Russian
conflict. st.
1t is difficult to get any definite
expression of opinion here upon
the subject of the Transvaal diff
Guilty owing to the fact that Russia
does not take the slightest interest
in that part of the world. The
Russian Government makes a
point of invariably combining its
attention to territorial ques-
tons that Immediately af-
feet the empire, and even
about these it says as little as
possible. The few opinions that
have been gathered, however,
simply re-echo the views current
in Germany, nearly all given be-
ing quoted from German news
papers.
The Kaiser's message to Pre-
sident Kruger meets with little
sympathy here, as not being in
accordance with Russian ideas or
with dignified diplomacy, and also
because its tendency is to disturb
the peace of Europe, the main
tenance of which constitutes the
whole aim of Russia's present
policy. The press attacks the
action of DIR. Jameson most
vigorously. Official opinion, as
it appears in the st. Peters
burg press, is that the situation
has lost much of its interest owing
to the disavowals from London.

DRAWING UP WILLS.

lawyer Dc Not Want Their Names Iden-
titled with the Documents.
That it takes a smart man to draw a
will is an adage the respect for which
in the legal fraternity is evidenced by
the fact that few lawyers want to furnish
visible evidence Of their part in draw
ing up wills. 1t is perfectly easy for Q
man to hire a lawyer to draft his tesla
ment, Of course, no matter how compli-
Gated it's provisions may be. 1t is quite
another thing to get the lawyer to wit
ness it. He will not even allow clerks
In his office to do SO except perhaps
where the client is an old or regular
one. He wants him to go elsewhere to
get the necessary attestations. There are
exceptions to this unwritten rule, it is
true, but it is pretty generally observed.
Lawyers will not 80 admit it," said
one of them, ''but the true reason is
they don't care to be identified with the
instrument. 1t is about as difficult an
undertaking as a lawyer car face to
draw up a will where the requests are
surrounded with conditions that will
close up all loopholes to a contest. Most
testators know how they want to dis
pose Of their estates, but it is exceeding
ly hard to express their wishes in a way
that will leave no doubt when subse-
quently disappointed heirs call it into
question. The books TEEN with instances
of the inability Of smart men, some Of
them distinguished lawyers, to make q
will that will stand under a stiff fight.
Lawyers naturally don't want to be as
ISOLATED with a document that may be
pronounced bad, and SO they are unwill.
ing to sign as witnesses or to let their
employees do it. Isuppose it to some ex-
tent argues a lack Of confidence in their
work. Anyhow the precaution Is Of lit
tie use, for invariably the lawyer who
drew it is disclosed in any litigation
over a will. Chicago Tribune.
