ST. LOUIS, M.

The sailor hat of 1898 is a faithful
copy Of the rough straw shapes worn
by men. It has a lower and less oblong
crown than the sailor hats Of a year
ago, and there is no "short-back" effect,
affording nc great protection for the
face, and as a rule not improving its
appearance, as it has too narrow a
straw aureole for the majority Of faces
and heads. It cannot, by any process

Of hat, for certain uses, can take its
place.

A new tennis shoe, which is also
most comfortable for tramping or cy-
cling, is made of patent leather or glace
kid, or in tan, black or green canvas
with a very low heel and sole of solid
rubber. A comfortable strap across the
instep keeps its on and at the same
time leaves the ankle absolutely free.
For general wear the buttoned boot,
so authorities say will supersede the
laced shoe for winter wear. This, how
dividual taste.

Deserters Unwritten Code.

LII tl1ne Oh peace assertions from our
army and navy are treated rather
lightly. If a man makes up his mind
TO leave the service, he usually man
ages to do so, and the chances are that
he will &C unpublished.
But even though this is so, assertions
are not at all as frequent as might be
supposed. Unlike the German service,
the discipline our boys go through
makes neither the army nor the navy
dlstasteful, and those who go in usu,
ally serve their term of enlistment, if
no more.
There are certain unwritten laws for
deserters from both the army and navy
that have been observed ever sine there
was an army or navy in the United
States.
When a bluejacket or marine has de-
c1ded to desert, he says very little about
1t even to his intimate friends among
his shipmates, but for some mysterious
reason that has never been satisfactor-
1lv explained and probably never will
be, the word is always passed around
among the men forward that So-and-so
is about to "go over the side.' Occas-
1onally the same news will get aft to
the Wardroom; but officers have discov-
cred the futility CT bothering their heads
about the intending deserters.
The intending deserter always waits
until he attains the first-class on the
conduct class list of his ship, which
permits him to draw all the money due
him except one months pay, that is al
ways carried en- the paymaster's books
for all hands.
Meantime he makes his preparations
for the jump. Such articles of his kit
as mastering suits, pea coats, etc., that
are of any value, he sells for almost
nothing to his sEipmates or gives away.
The things he can use, as, for example,
underwear, he does up in a small pack
age, together with what few family
photographs, letters and trinkets he
may possess and wish to keep, and
gives the bundle to the bumboat man
who stocks a dingy with tobacco, soap,
brushes and such small articles and
sells them at excrhitant prices to men
forward on warships.
Monthly money" day comes around,
AND the intending deserter draws all
the money that he has earned, except
the months pay retained. Then comes
the day upon which he is entitled to go
ashore.
He goes and simply forgets to come
back. The officer Of his division re-
ports him absent without leave for ten
days, and every time he does so there
is a general grin along the lines OF
men forward assembled at quarters,
and then he is marked IN the ships log
as a deserter. If the deserter ever gives
himself up, he may have to serve from
one to three years at the naval prison
at Mare Island or at Boston, but he is
not hunted.
A soldier in the army goes about the
business Of deserticn with great care,
complaisance and circumspection. A
soldier does not often nave much money
for his pay is small and the money
consuming canteen is never far from
the quarters. AS often as not he will
leave all the truck in his chest behind,
for there is nobody answering 10 the
character of bumboat IA to help him
get away

HORSELESS CARRIAGES.

HORSELESS CARRIAGES.
It's only a question of time and not
a very long time, either, before New
York will be leading the world in horse
less carriages and cabs. Just at pres
ent it is Paris that leads, and Paris
and London manufacturers turn out
the greatest number of horseless We
hicles. But American manufacturers
have Caught on" and will soon be
shipping the motor carriages to Europe.
And they are going to be in general
use, in Paris at least, within the next
few months, or as fas as the machines
can be built, for the big cab company
over there has decided to adopt them
entirely.
The few that have been in operation
in Paris during the last three years
demonstrated to the cabmen that they
could be made more profitable than
made. But now to get the improve
tents was another matter that was at
last overcome by offering large prizes
to builders of the vehicle in order to
stimulate them to greater efforts.
This plan has borne good fruit, for
last year a number Of improvements
showed up. Again the cabmen offered
prizes, and the Exhibition" has just
closed, the result being a number Of
carriages that answered all require
ments and stood all tests. The judges
pronounced at least a dozen to be per
feet" but have not yet decided as to
which one is the very best. But the
cab company has decided to adopt them
feeling sure of success on account Of
the perfection of SO many.
The cabmen who have encouraged this
work have formed themselves into an
organization known as the Automobile
club.
At the exhibition that has just closed
twenty-six vehicles were put through
the tests, despite the severity of the
program, which made obligatory a daily
run Of thirty-six miles as a minimum
within a period of sixteen hours.
In London the tendency of the horse
less carriage seems to be in the di-
rection of large vehicles to replace the
omnibuses. The American cabmen who
were at the exhibition and tests in
Paris have expressed themselves as de-
lighted with the machine and have de-
cided to adopt it in some modified form,
and New York must not be surprised to
hear in the neal future of a line of ON
nibuses Of this kind for some of our
big streets. You may even be riding in
horseless Fifth avenue stages before
many months.
There are to be steam ~omnibuses, mo-
tor omnibuses and patrol cabs. AS
regards the first, the steam is created
by a slow combustion stove, which con-
sumes only a very small quantity of
coke or petroleum. These omnibuses
are of 20 horse power, to be increased
presently to 80 horse power. One We
hicle will, it is asserted, carry twenty
eight passengers, n where necessary
is capable of being fastened to another
omnibus Of equal capacity. The cost
per passenger is stated to be one-tenth
Of a cen per mile: speed from eight to
ten miles per hour, to be increased to
fifteen miles an hour.

Counted the Strokes.

"Now that you've finished shaving me
how many strokes of the razor did it
require?" asked the nan in the chair,
combed.
That's pretty hard to TELL" said the
barber.
"Of course it is. But you've been in
the business, how long?"
Fifteen years."
"You ought to know by this time
about how many strokes Of the razor it
requires to shave a man, supposing that
you go over his face a second time"
II might make a guess at it,"
"All right. What's your guess? Re-
member that I have a hard beard
"Well, I should say about 1885,"
you're a good guesser, I don't think.
Some time ago I got into the habit Of
counting the strokes of a razor every
time I was being shaved. It's a good
way to employ your mind. In shaving
me you just made 1872 strokes with the
razor"
II wouldn't have believed it."
mo man believes it until he takes the
trouble to count In my case I never
Knew the number to fall below 500, and
it has gone more than 800 at times. 1
call it a stroke every time the razor is
brought forward INC then drawn back.
I should Judge there are no fewer than
500 strokes in a first-class shave"
