OF head covering were common. The Ro-

when on long journeys, and the ART of hat
making was we'll developed when the Nor

English people took readily TO hats because
OF the climate of their country. The no.

could afford to wear "hattes of biever, "
ana when they commenced to decorate
them with great plumcs the love of dis
play common among all men at that time
led to immediate popularity for the hat
IL was the men who had the big hats in
early days il was fad of theirs, and
they got over 1t long ago, but while the
fad was at its height the men made tho

the hats worn by the men in the latter

Little. but Smart.

A little boy who had a cousin living bur
three blocks from his home was given per-
mission to stop and play there after school
whenever he chose. The tempter soon
whispered in Harry's ear that he might
go anywhere under the pretense of having
been at his cousins home.
One evening after his mother had heard
OF her truant boys wanderings she asked
him where be had been since school closed.
Down to Cousin Alfred's house." he
replied.
Then she kindly said: Harry, mamma
knows you have not been there. Now
don't tell lie. Just tell the truth and all
will be we'll" He replied, "How did you
find outY" "Ob, little bird told mann
ma. After which he pointed his finger
with a little gesture of warning and said,
Don't talk to me about lying. Birds can 4
talk. "-Cincinnati Tribune.

Outwitting n store Detective.

A detective in a we'll known retail store
is engaged in the mental process of kick,
ing himself whenever he thinks of re-
cent transaction. At time of day wher
the store was crowded the detective, who
was keeping sharp lookout for evildoers
was approached by well dressed intelli
gent looking man, who informed him tina,
he was employed as detective in another
store and had followed shoplifter from
his firm S store to the present place, where
they would find her at the glove counter
stealing gloves.
LET her alone" said the strange detect
i've, land when she loads up | will follow
her home, and we can then make big
haul"
Consent was given to this plan, and the
shoplifter stole $500 or $500 worth OF
goods unmolested. Then she went ont
followed by the strange detective. That
was the last ever seen of the pair, and the
store detective wonders how on earth he
was duped so easily .-Philadelphia Record.

NEW WORKS. FIRE FIGHTERS.
One Particular In Which They Differ FROM
All Other Firemen.

"New York hremen," said Battalion
Chief Burns OF the fire department, eight
fires in different way from the flremen
of any other city in the country, and
don't know bat the world. They fight
almost exclusively on the inside The
nethod in all other cities is to fight from
the outside, except when the fires are in
significant. You will notice here that the
first thing tho Gremen do when they reach
the scene OF "a fire is to take the end OF
their hose and dash into the burning
building. They don't lose an instant S
time, and they dc this no matter how
great the fire is or what the danger may
appear to be. If the tire is in the base
ment, they get there if they can. If it is
on tho top floor, they get thoro. Wherever
1t is they get the nearest to it they can, SO
that they can be sure that the water strikes
the spot that is burning and is not vast
ed. They s.ly inside just us long us hui
man endurance can stand it. One of their
number falling from exhaustion or over
come by smoke does not drive the rest
away. He is dragged out to the air, anG
the others stay until it is impossible to
stay an instant longer. Then they retire,
and the fight goes on from the fire escapes,
the roofs of adjoining houses and the
street The street is tho last stand. When
the firemen are driven there there is little
hope of saving the burning building, and
attention is devoted almost exclusively TO
the adjoining property.
"New York firemen are quicker on the
scene of fire than arc the firemen of most
other cities, went on the chief. THE
engine and truck hotises are SO located, no
matter from what box the alarm is sound
ed, either u truck or an engine can reach
that box within two minutes after the
alarm. When you consider that the horses
have to be hitched, that at night the men
have to dress themselves and get down to
the first floor from their sleeping rooms,
and all the little details that are incident
to getting out of the houses, you can real
ize Just what quick work that is"
"Are the modern buildings safer for tho
flremen to work in than the old style
buildings?"
Decidedly safer, 1 think. The men
will take q good deal bigger chances in
them, and there are fewer accidents. The
danger in them is from the warping or the
cracking of the iron framework. Wrought
iron warps, and cast iron cracks, but it
takes intense heat to do either, and usually
the heat will drive the mon out before
there is any danger. There is even less
danger in the new buildings than in the
buildings put up few years ago. Inc
iron frames are now surrounded by fire
proof brick. Now York Sun.
