How she.lvon over the Judge.

A woman resident of DetroiS relates
an interesting tale of Kansas thstice
years ago. 1t was after her weddMHg- trip
that her husband was called TO Kansas
on business and real estate dsaleY out
of spite, had him arrested. Hheprkoner
was taken before a local justice Of the
peace. The incensed bride insisted Upon
attending the trial, and whilS,it Vas IN
progress she SO far forgot hersslfSas to
deliberately level her opera glasses upon
the justice, who dashed updasxt he table
and shouted:
"Deperty, disarm that uersan!"
The officer secured the lgnases and
cautiously laid them before tH5 magis-
trate, who promptly fined the woman
$1,000 for contempt of court. With
gracious dignity she asked tie right,to
defend herself and, going UP to the
bench, She explained that tie glasses
We're not harmful, and had the Justice
look through them, anH after few
pretty words Of apology she presented
them e d to him. He httthe fable a mighty

REIGN OF THE STRAW HAT.

Tue straw hat season is now on, an /.
the various styles for the summer show
to marked degree an absence of that
gayety of bands and variety of shape
that was noticeable last year. The
most popular new style is hat with a
small crown, narrow brim, and plain
thin straw. A plain band goes with
the hat, black and dark blue being
preferable.
Another hat that is being worn a
great deal is last years favorite style
of thick, overlapl ing straw, heavy in
appearance but exceedingly light and
comfortable to the head. These hats
admit OF wide range of color in the
selection of bands, and some very
startling ones are seen on the street.
The trend in the manufacture of all
hats now is to make them as light and
easy TO the head as possible. The
large hats with wide brims that were
in vogue several years ago were a bur.
den TO the strongest, but now most al!
hats are light and rest on the head
without any pressure.
The hats worn by old men, however,
are by far the lightest. They are made
of a soft straw without the stiffening
put into the hats of younger men, and
are extremely thin. They are not
much for shape, but they are great for
keeping the head cool, and can be used
for a fan wi hout any danger of break
ins the straw. IL is for this reason
that so many of them are bought by
bald-headed men who experience the
terror of flies and mosquitoes in sum-
mer time.

CHANGE FOR CONGRESS

From the New York Commercial Advertiser
 Our regulars are armed with rifles and cartridges as good, but our volunteers have only the old Springfields with black powder cartridges. Why this is so has not been explained, but when the full significance of the fact is known, it will have to be, even at the point of congressional investiga- ton. The armories have been turning out the Krag-Jorgensens at a great rate since the war became certain. there are not enough to arm all the volunteers, there must be enough for the few regiments at the front As for cartridges, it is well known that the Spanish had no trouble in getting all the smokeless powder cartridges they wanted from American factories be fore the war. Many of the Mauser cart ridges which killed our men have the Amer ican brand. The ordnance bureau will have to explain why volunteers were sent to war with old-fashioned arms. In the meantime, these Mauser rifles and smokeless powder cartridges will be a godsend to our troops for the Porto Rico campaign.

ILLITERACY IN SPAIN
People Are Content to Speak Just Their Own
 Tongue

Modern languages are unknown in Spain to degree which has to be realized before 1t can be believed. Politicians, statesmen. physicians, journalists, courtiers and even merchants are content with speaking their own sonorous language and can seldom express themselves in any other, says the Contemporary Review. I have seen Eng lishmen and Frenchmen in the foreign de- partment of the central telegraph office wandering diconsolately hither and thither unable to find a single official conyersant, in any degree, with the French tongue. The liberal government of Senor Sagasta, hay ing introduced censorship of foreign tele-, grams such as has never been pTacticed in Russia was at its wits end to find a cen sor capable of reading messages written in German, and finally it was decided that they should go as they were, urexamined. frequently saw two identical telegrams, of which one was in French and the other in German, handed in at the telegraph office. and on the following day I learned that the French message had been suppressed by the censor and the German telegram transmitted without remark
 Monumental ignorance of contemporary history and modern languages has left it's abiding mark on the ruling classes in Spain, and is to large extent answerable for the irreparab1e ca antilles which have overtaken the brave, patient and noble-minded peo- pie.
 It is dangerous for one blind man to lead another, but it is utterly calamitous when the sightless leader has visions and is un- der the delusfon that he can see And these are exactly the relations which, ever since the days of Queen Isabella, have subsisted between the rulers and the ruled.
 The results thereof are writ large in ev- cry page of contemporary Spanish history in every step of successive Spanish govern ments in the dangerous mixture of wanton rigor and unpatriotic license which was meted out to the colonies, in the paralyza- ton of all healthy enterprise in the penin- sula in the neglect of national interests, and the step-motherly treatment of the army and navy.
