with blonde hair full Of a dusky gold

at the extreme western end of Algeria,
by Spanish naval officer, and there
in few weeks been deserted. For
some months she vas derelict in that

SILK HAT CAUSED A RIOT.
It Was the First of Its Kind Seen on
the Streets of Nondon.

~ w Ab Lu6 II Vi us OCOA OA
the Streets of Nondon.
Jan. Is. 1887, was the date fixed BY
Mr.. Hetherington for the first appear
ance in public with the new hat. the
silk hat Of to-day, says the Hatters'
Gazette. He believed that in the
natural course of events he would
create a sensation, but he was not pre-
pared for the commotion which follow
ed. 1t was with no little trepidation
that, about IL O'Clock in the forenoon,
Mr.. Hetherington emerged from his
shop in the Strand. His family advised
against 1t, but he was determined, and
forth he sailed.
The Strand, as now, was one OF the
busy streets of London and Mr.. Hether-
ington had not walked ten feet before
merchants and others, attracted by the
unusual sight, stopped and gazed In
wonder. Mr.. Hetherington, however,
moved on, but men who had only stop
ped to look now followed after him
and in less time than II takes to tell II
the street was crowded was bowling
mob. Those on the outskirts Of the
crowd did not know the nature OF the
trouble, If there was any, but they help
ed to swell the din. How Mr.. Hether-
ington Jared, however, is best told by
the journals of that date, whose pages
have been searched by the tailors' and
cutters special commissioner. One
Gazette gave this account of the re-
markable event:
John Hetherington, haberdasher OF
the Strand, was arraigned before the
lord mayor yesterday on a charge Oh
breach Of the peace and melting riot
and was required TO give bond in the
sum Of 6 500. 1t was in evidence that
Mr.. Hetherington, who is well connect
ed, appeared upon the public highway
wearing upon his head what he called
a silk hat (Which was offered in evil
dence), a tall structure having shin
ing luster and calculated to frighten
timid people. AS a matter of fact the
officers of the crown stated that several
women tainted at the unusual sight
while children screamed, dogs yelped
and a young son of Cordwainer Thomas
who was returning from a chambers
shop, was thrown down by the crowd
which had collected and had his right
arm broken. For these reasons the de-
PENDANT was seized by the guards and
taken before the lord mayor. In ex-
tenuation Of his crime defendant
claimed that he had not violated any
law of the kingdom, but was merely
exercising a right to appear in head
dress of his own design-a right not
denied by any Englishman."
Another paper of the same date (Jan.
16, 1797 in commenting upon Mr..
Hetherington's appearance said:
I'm these days of enlightenment it
must be considered an advance in dress
reform, and one which is bound sooner
or later to stamu it's character upon the
entire community. The new hat is
destined to work revolution in head
gear, and we think the officers of the
crown erred in placing the defendant
under arrest"

ChicaRo's Greau Tree.

COOK county has tree almost with
In the limits Of Chicago that is trying
In modest way to keep pace with the
city In growth. 1t rears its majestic
height in a feld on the farm OF Charles
Kotz, two miles and a half west of
Crosse Point.
1t Is the biggest known tree in the
United States, the great sequoias Of
California alone being excepted Three
feet from the ground its girth is Al
feet. The diameter is 10 feet inches.
The height is 1870 feet.
Yet this marvel, which hundreds OF
years ago may have been worshipped
by a savage race has gone on year by
year producing its foliage and in the
order or nature casting 1t off, all un-
noticed by Chicago. About its only ad-
mirer has been the owner. Charles
KotZ. He guards it as jealousy as he
does his own children.
Aside from the great height and girth
OF the trunk is remarkable hollow
or room at its foot. This hollow is rs
feet In circumference, Sls feet in diam
eter and 20 feet in height. A natural
doorway 9 feet high and feet wide at
the broadest part. A horse and its
rider can easily pass through to the
interior. Three horses can easily be
sheltered inside the mammoth trunk.
The hollow is big enough to permit a
dining table to be spread in its bounds.
and there is room enough to spare for
chairs about the table.
The height to the first limb is 70
feet. A man Of average size must take
"a PAGES to complete the circuit of the
big trunk.
A competent authority on forestry
has estimated that the tree. which, by
the way, is Of the cottonwood family,
is no less than 900 years old. In the
days Of King John and Magma Charta
this tree was fourishing. When Co.
lumbus discovered America it was as
large as its companions in the forest.
1t is known that even half a century
ago it was as big and majestic as it is
to-day.

Fish That Snort Double Tails

Two tails attached to a fish! Few
people have ever seen such a freak OF
nature. Nearly every one has seen the
pretty bushtail goldfish that have four
or five, or sometimes more, long, wavy
filmy tails. but very few people know
but that very few OF them are born that
way. When the little goldfish are very
very young their flesh is as clear as
glass, so that one can see every bone
in their tiny bodies At this time the
few that are born with two or more
tails are put by themselves. and then
a queer looking old Jap, with a great
magnifying glass fastened in front Of
his eye, and wee sharp tools handy
reaches down under the water and cuts
off the tails of the plain little fish, and
then three or four of these tails are
jointed on the back bone where the one
was cut off and fastened there with
tiny bandages Until they grow fast.
The Japanese, who are very skilful
in queer things of this kind, grow the
finest goldfish in the world, and it is a
very good business, for very fine fish
sf this kind often bring as much as
$500 to $500, and one sold not long age
for $1,000.

Peculiarities In Eyesight.

A Chicago oculiSt, who has made
close study of the visual organs of his
patients, has come to the conclusion
that most people are right or left-sight-
ed, as they are right or left handed. He
now regards it as an established fact
that we all use one eye-the right or
left-in preference when looking
through glass or taking an aim with
gun. II we do not perceive this our
selves oculists and opticians remark it.
The ignorance of most people on this
subject is illustrated by their buying
glasses at the opticians without TAX
ing account of any difference between
the eyes. Thus only one Of the eyes is
helped, while the other one, being less
called into exercise, becomes less and
less useful and loses its power, as
tool rusts when not in use.
Yet both our eyes are needed to see
well. 1t becomes, therefore, highly i'm
portant to observe how the child uses
it's eyes in order to correct those atti-
tudes which tend to injury of the sight
as well as the health. Children in writ
ing rarely fail to give the head an in
clination by which the eyes are placed
at unequal distances from the paper.
They are also apt to incline their head
too far and acquire the habit of bring
ing it too near, as when they try to ac-
commodate themselves to feeble light.
Not sufficient attention is given to
these matters, especially when we con-
slider the consequences of such habits
in mature age.
A large proportion Of our defects orig.
mate in want Of proper care during
childhood. We do wrong to such won.
derful tools az our senses when we do
not give them the education they need.
1t is not surprising that parents who
are so particular about the way their
children hold their spoon or fork pay
so little attention to the way they use
their eyes.

Embarrassment

The ancient Egyptian custom of

of embarrassment, now and then.
For instance. it is said that a certain
Pharaoh, whose name is withheld, was
much disturbed once upon time to

in his hand.

great anxiety.
HE is an assassin, who intends
throwing yonder rock at your Majes-

aoh, vastly relieved.
