General WheeIer's Hat.

One of the most remarkable pieces
of headgear in the House is possessed
by General Wheeler of Confederate
fame, representing the eighth Alabama
district. 1t is not a derby, nor a
fedora, nor the broad rimmed black
covering that southern statesmen in
congress so much affect. The DASH
ing old cavalry leader departs from all
congressional custom in the selection
of his top wear, which is an ordinary
black hat such as boys IN the country
generally select. He has his special
trademark in the way of creasing it:
There is no longitudinal furrow length
wise IN this article of the generals ap-
parel. 1t is creased round and round
to fit the shape of the head and to
rest closely upon the crown; also after
the fashion that country youth affect
when the new of hat is worn off and
it has been out in the ram once or
twice to take the style out of it,

Bad Times In Canada.

Times in Canada continue to grow
steadily worse, and failures are in
creasing. The statement of the
Canadian government for the financial
year, ending June goth last, shows an
actual deficit of about S., 900, 900 and
net debt Of over $a5S,ooo,ooo
The practice Of charging many items
of expenditure to capital amount in
order to hide the real state of things
is meant to deceive the people here
and in England and to bolster up in
terests that are injuring the country.
1t is continuance of the system of
deception carried on all through the
years since confederation by the Tory
party, and will work no good to the
Liberals. The mining boom has led
people in some quarters to hope for
better things, but it is yet too early to
say what the result will be. So far it
has only benefited a few lucky claim
owners and the newspapers that have
inserted the booming advertisements.

lapses would not be 90 frequent as that, but
scarcely a day passed that they did not occur

heart with great force, and push 1t out Of

perfectly numb and helpless. Icould feel the
temporary paralysis coming over them, but
could do nothing which would prevent it. My
feet were affected in like manner, and had
considerable difficulty in walking when such

so the most inquiring. He had heard
that babies were bought from doctors
and one day asked his mother about
prices.
Mother, how much did I cost?" he
inquired.
AS some reply had to be made, his
mother said one thousand dollars. John
thought 1t over for a moment, and
then asked:
How much did you pay for Mary?'
Fifteen hundred dollars"
why, she cost more than me-"
"Yes; girls always cost more than
boys"
What did you pay for Jane?" Jane
is a little self-willed tyrant.
Jane cost two thousand dollars. "
said Mrs. Caleb, and John lapsed into
deep thought. In few moments he
said:

the customary announcement which
precedes reaching for the pot, when the
slant-eyed speculator again banked
proceedings with the remark:
"Misdeal; l got six cards."
A silence fell upon the players when
the cards were shufiied and passed
around again. Solemnly the Chinese

The answer was in the affirmative each
time. and when all had replied the ORR

WASHINGTON NOTES.

No President elect has ever taken the
people into his confidence while max.
ing up his Cabinet with the exceeding
frankness that has characterized Ma
jor Mckinley. Astute correspondents
have sometimes, by picking up hints
here and there, managed to make
close guesses as to what the makeup
would be, but they have rarely OBJ
tained information from the incoming
President himself. Gen. Grant was
the most spninx-liko Of all Of them.
Not soul outside his most intimate
circle knew whom he would appoint
until the names were sent to the Sen
ate. Grant commenced his Presiden.
cy by holding aloof from the politi'
clans. At its close he had surrendered
to them altogether. His first Cabinet
was surprise to everybody. e. B
Washburne, Secretary Of State; A. T,
Stewart, Secretary Of the Treasury,
Adolph II. Borie, Secretary Of the
Navy, were the chief wonders. They
were all confirmed instantly, and then
1t was discovered that Stewart was in
eligible because he was an importer
Grant, instead of Withdrawing his
name, sent in a request to Congress
that the statute making Mr.. Stewar,
ineligible be suspended in his favor
OF course the Senate would not con.
sent, and Stewart resigned.

Some say Eve s and Adam "a total

Now we figure the thing out far diff

We think the above figures are en-
tirely wrong. II Eve and Adam SO,
certainly the total will be 80.
Scientific men. however. on the
strength Of the theory that the antedi-
luvians were a race of giants, reason
something Like this-Eve 81 and Adam

Wrong again. What could be clearer
than II Eve 81 and Adam 812, the total
