Men, Women and Hats.

A German professor has been study
ing that article of masculine apparel
which the irreverent call "stovepipe"
and has found in it proof of mans SUI
periority to woman. Time was, he says,
when men, like women now, ornament
ed their hats with ribbons and feathers
more or less beautiful and wore gar
ments of the brightest colors they could
find. This was all "plumage d'amour;"
it indicated no intellectual superiority
and no moral worth. 1t merely repre-
sented the superiority Of the peacock
over the peahen. Now men have mott
ed. Their headgear has become the I'M
plumed "stovepipe," their habit the mex
pressive frock coat. 1t Is woman, the
professor points out, who wears the
"plumage damour" today in her hat
and elsewhere.
Nature, he explains, means something
by every evolution or revolution she
permits What she means by this one
is that fine feathers are best suited to
the feather Drained. The plumed hat of
woman is symbolical of her fall the
plain "stovepipe" of man, Of his rise in
intellectually. Mans moral worth, in
short, has become such that he can lose
plumage to the inferior animals. If this
isn't Just like man for all the world"
nothing ever was.-New York Times.

All Wrong,

One of the boys brought home his
arithmetic lesson, and his mother, after
watching his struggles for a time in ST.
lence, offered to help him.
"Oh, no." said he, with look of scorn,
you can't do 1t to save you" AS the
mother was a college graduate she nat
urally felt somewhat nettled at this and
insisted upon her ability to solve the
problem. She did so to her own salts
faction, but not to the boys. He de-
clared that she did not do it right,
though he could not tell what was
wrong.
Wen leave it to papa" said she
finally. The father, too, was a college
graduate and had taken high honors in
mathematics. The father said that the
mothers method was the right one and,
indeed, the only one. Unconvinced, the
boy went off to school the next morning.
At noon he came home triumphant.
"There. l told you so!'' he shouted as
he entered the house. you did 1t
wrong"
What was the matter?" both parents
asked.
well, you left out two sinces' and a
hence" was the convincing reply. -

BaboOn Guides.

1t seems probable that travellers and
explorers who are usually accompanied
with dogs, who hunt with them and
guard their camp from danger, would
find a more reliable companion in n
baboon.
So far as speed is concerned, the dog,
of course, has the advantage, but for
keenness of scent, for the instinct Of
finding edible plants and hidden water
and as a sentinel against every kind Of
danger, the baboon is unequaled.
LIE valiant, an African traveller,
gives an account of a tame baboon,
which accompanied him on some of his
journeys "By his cries" he says, che
always warned us of the approach of
an enemy before my dogs discovered
1t. The dogs We're so accustomed to
his voice that they used to go to sleep,
and / was at first vexed with them for
deserving their duties. When he once
had given the alarm, they would all
stop to watch for his signal, and on the
least motion of his eyes, or the shak-
ing of his head. l have seen them all
rush forward to the quarter where his
looks were directed. "-Pearson's Week

HIS NOVEL METHOD.
A Sheriff Who Appointed His Deputy with
Double Barreled Shotgun.


That tale related of an Alabama girl
who shot young man a couple of
times and then married him recalls
the method employed by George Bards-
ley, one of the early day sheriffs of
Ellis county, in appointing his deputies
One night he was called to Chris Ri
leys saloon, where Texas Frank"
newly arrived desperate in Hays City,
was shooting out" the place-a per-
Torrance which consisted in the pro-
miscuous firing of his gun" at the bar
keeper, bystanders, lamps, bottles and
pictures. Sheriff Bardsley grabbed the
first weapon handy in his own saloon,
which happened to be a double bar
relied shotgun, and proceeded to Ri
ley's on the run. Dashing in he ordered
Frank to throw up his hands, and the
response was a bullet from Franks Al.
Letting go both barrels of his shotgun,
Bardsley brought the desperate to The
floor, so full of shot holes that he
couldn't hold either air or water.
Frank was not killed, however, and
in course of time recovered, under the
kind attention which he received in
the county Jail. Presently it was OBJ
served that the Texas man was walk
ing around town without a guard, and
a little later the people were aston
ished to find him serving legal papers
and making arrests. Bardsley was APP
preached by a newspaper man at this
time, when the following colloquy took
place:
as Texas Frank your deputy?" que
ried the reporter.
"Yep! was the contentious response
of Bardsley.
How does that Gomez" was the next
inquiry.
"Well, you see," said Bardsley, most
sheriffs appoint their deputies, but
like to shoot mine.'-Kansas City Jour
nal.

AMANDA.


Where sun and flower are beaming
Amanda's charms appear.
Her bcauty's rays are streaming
Round all this earthly sphere.
The breeze when gently blowing,
The rose that scents the grove,
The vine when brightly glowing,
All tell of her / love.
l hear her songs sweet numbers
When zephyrs breezy wings
Sweep DER the gold harp's slumbers
And wake its tuncful strings.
All. all the charms of nature
Amanda's beauty bear
And show i'm every feature
Her godhead imaged there.
The spirits of the dying
Must quit this Clay's control,
But they to rest are flying
In regions of the soul.
The floods, now onward striding,
Are foaming, fierce and free,
Yet soon their waves, subsiding,
VIII slumber in the sea.
But l must valnly languish
For joys | ne er can know
And wear n CurelesS anguish
In loneliness and woe.
Fair goddess, l shall ever
Behold thy beauty shine
Like stars above, but never
Can hope to call thee minei

Chairman Jones of the Democratic ma
tional committee free and unlimited sill
verl has issued an address endorsing the
plan OF celebrating the 154th birthday of
Thomas Jefferson, April 13. 1t is to be
hoped that the orators on this occasion
will not overlook among Interpretations
from the wise words OF the author of the
Declaration what he said in regard to
fixing the coinage ratio of silver and gold.
"Tne proportion between the values OF
gold and silver" he said, lis mercantile
problem altogether. The proportions
established by law have varied i'll differ
ent ages and in different countries. Just
principles will lead us to disregard legal
proportions altogether, to inquire into
the market price of gold in the several
countries with which we shall be princi,
pally connected i'll commerce, and to take
an average from them" The difference
between this and the Chicago platform is
as wide as the poles. The ratio is mer-
camille problem altogether, said Jeffer-
son. The ratio is a legal affair alt ogether,
say Bryan and his followers. 1t is proba-
bic that the silver orators will choose on
.Jefferson's birthday to avoid this awk-
ward subject and to address themselves
rather to his other views on public ques-

Not Another Inch.

Senator Lodges project for the pur-
chase of the Danish West Indies by the
United States should be resolutely OPP
posed by Republicans in both houses OF
Congress. The three islands in question
St. John, ST. Thomas and St. Croix-are
insignificant in population, area and re-
sources. The total number of their in
habtants is less than 10000, and most
OF these are negroes OF the most ignorant
and dehased type. Sugar and rum are
the chef products OF these Scorched and
scni-barren bits Of territory, and these
are not produced in sufficient quantities
to give the islands any commercial I'M
portauce. No doubt, Denmark would be
ylad to part with these undesirable
possessions for a good round sum IN
American dollars. But the United States
could not afford to take them, even as Il
gift. The argument that they are neces-
sary to us as coaling station is abso-
lutelv fallacious. Lying some hundreds
of miles distant from the nearest terri
tory of this Republic, they would be a
constant source of expense and difficulty.
In peace they would be useless. In war
they would be promptly wrested from us,
with the coal and other supplies we had
stored upon them, unless they were de-
Tended by strong fleet and elaborate
Notifications. In any event, we are bet.
ter off without them.

the streets and sidewalks during the
past four years, Among the principal
improvements made on the streets was
the grading of Main street, east and

of wheelmen who use the south side Of
Long Island find that Sayville has not

Mr.. John Allen Sweet, referring to
the obligation Of citizens to do all in

interest taken by the average business
man in the conduct Of municipal affairs.
~ believe" he says, that every citizen
should feel himself commissioned to be
an assistant to the mayor.
sis it not too frequently the case that
after the people have cast their ballots
for the election of mayor, and he has
been installed i'll the executive chair,
they, and especially the business men
of the community who are preoccupied
with their private AFFAIRS believe they
have fulfilled their whole obligation to
their city and leave such executive off.

handed and alone?
ITO my mind, the administration Of
municipal affairs should i'll no sense be
considered monopoly, but rather
should be regarded in the light of CO.
partnership and from the viewpoint of
cooperation, and that those who are the
most interested in its good name, growth
and prosperity should consult with its
mayor as TO the best means of promoting

that it is entitled to the best talents in

plans. They have figured the expense of
tree planting SO closely that their esti.
mate of the cost per tree, with stake
to support it, is rs cents. They have
even found out what will be the best
varieties of trees for the various streets.
The silver maple has been recommend
ed for Bancroft way. The white elm is
to decorate Durant and Charming ways.
In fact, deciduous trees are suggested
for the avenues extending toward the
bay. On the streets running north and
south, such as Shattuck avenue, College

Government Revenue.

Treasury receipts show an excess OF
50 OOa. 600 over expenditures for the
month OF March. Under ordinary con-
ditions this would he a cause tor general
whether the tariff oi per
fidy and dishonor" asapproved or not
No right minded person can regard de-
ficit except as an unqualified evil, no mat
ter what his tariff views may be. But
the March surplus is hardly less an evil
than n deficit OF the same proportions.
Itmeans that tariff receipts are likely To
lie heavily reduced for an indefinite time
after the Dingley bill takes effect. 1t
means that importations have been so
increased and that goods have been
withdrawn from bond in such volumes
in anticipation of the passage OF the new
tariff that, temporarily at least, both
kinds of transactions will greatly fall eff
in the immediate future. There is moth
ing in this outlook for citation. The
Treasury surplus for March really
amounts to so much money DorroWeu
from importers, for practically it will
have to be returned in the form ot less
ened receipts hereafter. Incidentally, 1T
affords an idea of the enormous extent to
which American industries and producer:
have beeu Disseminated against by tho
present tariff.
The increase in Government revenue
for the past month should only serve to
spur the Republican majority at Wash
ington into making doubly sure that the
Dingley bill will increase Government re
ceipts. More revenue is the paramount
need of the hour. \ surplus under the
existing tariff is incontestable proof tina
additional revenue is imperatively re
uured.
