LARGE HATS,
Objections to One of the Prevailing
Styles.

Objections to One of the Prevailing
Styles.
Large hats are SO pretty and very be-
coming to most women that it is not
strange they are always popular. The
brim softens the features, imparts an
air of youth to q face which has lost
it's first bloom, and of distinction to
one which is commonplace. That large
hats are often overloaded with trim
ming detracts something from their
picturesque quality, and still they can
carry off flowers, feathers and bows az
the small toque and the uncompromis-
ing sailor can never do.
1t is to be hoped that fashion will
soon decree the retirement of the large
hat from assemblages of people. A
rule requiring all women to remove OBJ
trusive head-gear in theaters, concert
halls, or even churches can hardly be
forced upon the public by special enact
ment, but it can be enforced by the COM
nonsense and unselfsh kindness of
women who desire to make their neigh
bors comfortable and happy. Nobody
is happy or comfortable who has paid
money for ticket to play and then
cannot see the play because u hat in
front of her obscures the stage; and in
very different place from the theater,
the church, nobody indulges pious re-
hections or thrives in the religious
sphere when every devotional thought
Is dissipated by the intrusion of an
alien atmosphere. In the presence of
aggressive pomps and vanities con-
secutive thought and interested atten-
ton are impossible, so that the large
hat at once proclaims itself an inn
pertinence in every indoor function.
At the garden party, on the prom
enade, everywhere in which its beauty
has certain appropriateness, the large
hat is to be commended; but there is
needs be that it stay rigidly where it
belongs, and shall not usurp room
where its appearance is undesirable

FALL OF LAWN TENNIS.
Bicycling and Golf Have Almost KilEst

Bicycling and Golf Have Almost KiIsst
1t in England.
How comes it that, the champion
week at Wimbledon Notwithstanding,
lawn tennis has unquestionably suf-
fered some eclipse, is played with less
eagerness than heretofore, and has
fewer votaries? 1t has, we are afraid,
been eclipsed by more fascinating rivals,
and bicycling has completed what golf
had already begun.
1t had reached all the perfection of
which it was capable; and when that
stage is attained, sports, like painting,
like sculpture, like architecture, indeed,
like all the arts, begin to perish. In all
AS long as a great many people played
lawn tennis tolerably we'll, but no one
supremely, and all were moving on to
amelioration, lawn tennis was safe. But
when q certain number of players got
TO play too well the fate of the game
was sealed, as far as universal popular
ity Is concerned.
The inferior players did not care to
play with the superior players, and,
II uoil " leIl, Ulie superior OuSS ulu noG
care to play with the inferior ones.
Shall we be deemed very ungallant if
we add that, speaking generally, the in
ferior players were-well, not of the
male sex? They withdrew their coun-
tenance from the game in consequence,
and the result was that it sank from the
position Of a national pastime to that
of provincial or local one.
Moreover, bicycling is the chartered
ibertine of the day. Mount a bicycle,
and the most dragooned young woman
may go where she likes, when she likes,
and as fast as she likes. If she attempt
ed to go in a boat, in hanson, or even
on horseback, as freely as she moves
about on her cycle, the mountains
would be called on to cover her, and
she would swiftly be reminded of the
obligations and restrictions of her Sex.
But a female cyclist can do no wrong.
Is it to be wondered at that, such being
the case, bicycling promises to kill not
only lawn tennis, but to run over every.
thing that stands in it's way ?-London

A MISTAKE.

A tadpole sat On cool, gray stone'
And sadly thought of his life;
"1tas, must / live all alone!" said he,
TOR shall l espouse me wife?'
A wise cid frog on the brink of the stream
Leaned over ard said, with sigh:
"Oh, wait till you're older, my dear young
friend,
You'll have better taste by and by!
"Girls change, you know, and the polly
wog slim,
That takes your fancy to-day,
May not be the polly at all you'd choose,
When the summer has passed away!
But the tadpole rash thought he better
knew,
And married Il pollywog fair;
And before the summer was over he sat
On the brink Of that stream in despair.
For. would you believe it? His fair. young
bride
Proved to be but a stupid frog,
With never q trace of beauty and grace
OF young Miss Polfywog.
And although the tadpole himself had
grown
Stout and stupid, too!
lie only saw the faults Of his wife,
As others sometimes do.
To all young tadpoles, my moral is this:
Before you settle in life,
Be sure you know, without any doubt.
What you want in the way of wife!

Forgetting to Ante Urged as Ground for
Breaking q WILL
During the contest over the will of
John D. Haskin, who was known in
politics as 'Tuscarora" Hasl1in, one of
the witnesses gave testimony to show
that failure to properly play the game
of poker is an evidence of insanity, says
New York dispatch in the Providence
journal. Mr.. Haskin left an estate VAL
ued at over 81, 100000, most of which he
bequeathed to his son. His daughter
and grandchild contested the will.
benjamin T. Cohn said Mr.. Haskin was
very fond Of poker and was very care
full player until the spring of 1892, when
he became careless, often holding his
cards so that the other players could see
them.
"Did he ever forget to ante?"
"Oh, frequently; and others did IL
for him."
"Well. that is hardly proof of insani
ity," said counsel for the son. ITO
forget to ante is not unusual in game
between American gentlemen. Did
Mr.. Haskin forget to play his hand
when the other players had their ante
up?"
mo"
"Did he forget to take his winningsP"l
"Oh, no."
Mr.. Cohn also thought that the old
mans habit of letting his false teeth
fall out of his mouth without noticing
it was another evidence of feeble-mind-
edness.

DEBIT AND CREDIT.

Come, little Paul, and let me tell abe 1t this
thing which have done
This net of debt which round my lfe for
your dear baby sake I've spun;
Sit on my knee and hearken well, 10Y you,
l know, are worldly wise,
And I'm prepared to follow out what course
of conduct you advise.
First, there's mortgage, full of terms and
clauses ponderous and grim
But likewise there's q giant tree with one
particular, long limb
Which reaches out to beckon us-to beckon
you and beckon me
To come and build a swing and play be-
meath tho grandly spreading tree.
Then there are notes, bunch Of them.
pledge my purpose and intent
To pay them off at sundry dates at rather
vigorous per cent;
But also, Paul, there Is house whose
roomy attic was designed
For rainy days, and little boys and blocks
and toys Of divers kind.
And, Paul-you follow me, of course-there
is an abstract and deed
Which are the driest documents ever had
the woe to read.
1 think 1 signed them, but perhaps I did
not sign, but only sealed.
- Then there's a great, green lawn
which slopes to westward to stubble
field.
A great green lawn where you will play;
I'll buy comrade dog for you;
And there'll be plenty romping-room, and
hide-and-seek locations, too;
And in the evening I'll come fast hasting
on the choo-choo car,
And Wen explore that stubble field, where
pretty summer flowers are.
Then there are bonds OF rigid sort; pledge
and swear myself to these.
But, on the other, credit, side there is a
wealth of cherry trees:
Moreover there are legal forms filled out
with words most monstrous big,
But, also, there's a corner where you'll
take your wooden spade to dig.
So, come, my boy, imprisoned in this city
fat from day to day,
And in the wisdom of your years proceed
with what you have to say.
A chuckle for my answer? Ali, you don't
believe my bargain bad.
Then prove your glad approval. Kiss your
jolly, debt-encumbered dad.

THE LATEST FAD.
Autograph Hats Now the Rage with Col-
lege Students and Summer Girls.

Autograph Hats Now the Rage with Col.
lege Students and Summer Girls.
One of the new fads that started with
the Cornell university boys is the fash
ion Of wearing autograph hats. One
sees them everywhere, for college men
in other colleges have taken it up, and
have scattered themselves here and
there among the summer girls. The
hats are made Of white canvas, with
stitched brins. Names can be written
in ink anywhere on the surface. One
of these had several names of we'll
known men written upon it, among
them the man who pulled stroke for
the Cornell eight that won such a glori-
Gus victory over Pennsylvania, Harvard
and Columbia in that memorable boat
race at Poughkeepsie.
Sentimental young men collect the
names of their sweethearts, though
this has its drawbacks, because there is
always the chance that the last girl will
want to know all about the other girls
whose names she finds written on the
hat before hers. The words are usual
ly printed, though script makes pret-
tier hat and looks less like an advertis--
ing device. To see stalwart young coll
lege men stalking along with these hats
on gives one the impression of one of
those impecunious individuals who
march up and down upon the business
streets with a printed placard on their
backs to the effect that ga regular din
ner can be had at the Blank dairy lunch
for 20 cents.'
However, the fad is growing, and by
fall the white hats will be black.

Saved srom the Gutllotine.

During the reign of terror, David had
Houdon, the sculptor, arrested, and
wished to have him guillotined, as he
had declared war against all the artists,
his colleagues. Nine. Houdon went to
Darrere and urged him to save her hus-
band. II see no way" Barrere said.
'but tell me, for which of his works
has he been imprisoned?" 'For statue
of st. Scolastica," said Nine. Houdon.
What does she took like?" "a fine
woman, with q scrap of paper in her
hand" At that moment entered Collot-
d'Herbois. Barrere said to him: "Hou-
don has made statue of philosophy
meditating on the revolution; you must
have it bought by the assembly and
placed in the room in front of the as
sembly-room, and declare that Houdoa
has deserved well of the country" This
was done and Houdon was saved.-Chi-

Some Beresford Stories.

A laborer once wrote to Lord Charles
Beresford saying that his wife had just
had twins-a boy and girl-and he
wanted to call one Lord Charles Beres-
ford Brown" and the other princess of
Wales Brown" Lord Charles gave his
permission, and obtained that of the
princess. Four mon his later the man
wrote again: 81 am happy to inform
you that Lord Charles Beresford
Brown is well and strong, but that
princess of Wales Brown died this
morning" Lord Charles is a man of
few words, and those very much to the
point. Speaking in the house of COM
mons one day, in reference to the Arab
slave leaders, he said, with great en-
phasis: "Mr. Speaker, we ought to
catch these men, give 'em a fair trial,
and then hang 'em." Unconventional
Lord Charles has always been. Receiv-
ing an invitation to dinner at MARI
borough house one evening, he replied
by wire: "Sorry can't come. Lie fol-
lows by post,"-Strand Magazine.

Turned Over Only Five Times After u0
Jumped.
Bill Uaw was an awkward, ungainly
young man, whose life was spent on a
Kansas farm, says the New York World.
He lived near the little station of Hack
ney and on one occasion came from q
nearby town on the train. 1t dashed
up toward the platform at high rate of
speed. The engineer tried to apply the
air-brakes to stop the train, but they
refused to work. He whistled for the
hand brakes and the bralSemen and the
conductor began twisting them as if
their lives depended upon stopping the
train.
Bill saw that something was the mat
ter and concluded that he was the cause
of it. The train was past the station,
and he feared he would be taken past
his home. Standing on the lower plat
form he gave a wild leap off the train.
In describing Bills descent after
ward the postmaster at Hackney, who
had seen Bills flight through the air,
said: Il thought some one had thrown
saddle off the train. Bill rolled off
all in bunch. When the dust settled
down Bill emerged from the confusion
with his clothes nearly torn off him,
his face and hands skinned and an APP
pearance of terror on his face. He
actually turned over eight times after
he jumped before he stopped"
'"That is lie!" exclaimed Bill, who
had listened to the narration. 81 never
turned over eight times. turned over
five times. 1 reckon ought to know.

BESIEGED BY NUNS.
Wonderful Tale of Conquered Mon
astcry on the Canary Islands.

Wonderful Tale of Conquered Mon
astcry on the Canary Islands.
A curious tale of besieged and con-
quered monastery belongs to the early
history of the Canary islands, and is le-
told by Charles Edwardes in his descrip-
ton Of the isles. In the early part of
the eighteenth century there lived in
Orotava, on the Island of Teneriffe, a
convent Of Dominican nuns, who, after
some years of ease, had tho misfortune
to be burned out of house and home.
q year, but became dissatisfied with
such unconventional walls, and began
looking about for q permanent abiding
place. At that time there was in
Orotava a house of Jesuits which had
lost it's former Importance, and, though
commodious and healthful, gave lodg-
ing to but two men, the rector of the
house and his assistant.
On this mansion the nuns cast
ctNetous eyes, and soon resolved to ap-
propriate it. One morning about 40 OF
them advanced against it, by strategy
induced the Jesuit brother to open the
outer gate, and then, trooping into the
courtyard. fell on their knees, thanking
God for this preliminary success. In
vain did the two monks reason with
them on their scandalous conduct
They merely held their ground, en-
claiming: Father Andrew, this is a
large cage for so few birds!" Some
of the more reasonable members of the
sisterhood explained that they were
really in need of a dwelling as spacious
rs this, and that they did not propose
leaving it. The rector, in despair, fled
into the sacristy, from which retreat
ne eXerted his colleague to be of good
cheer. "Patience, brother" cried he
"and do your best to eXtricate yourself
from those ladies!" That, however,
was more easily said than done, espe'
cially rs the nuns were becoming so
excited that they might momentarily
have been expected to resort to the ar
gument of nails. The siege lasted fol
three or four hours. News of it flew
about the town, and bands of young
men, scrupulous1y neutral, watched
proceedings from the bars of the outer
gate. Eventually the Jesuits yielded
and the nuns occupied the house until
a new convent, entirely to their taste
wes erected for them.-London Globe
