Ton w-sHovEIINe.
A. Connecticut philosopher DiscerBs
Indications of Character on
the Sidewalk.

The year 1893 will be memorable in
that almost as soon as we dropped the
lawn mower we were able to grasp the
handle of the snow shovel. 1t was the
greatest year on record for grass, and
is not backward for snow. Callous
wasn't off the hands. This indeed is
something to remember with pleasure
Not for the man who hires his moving
and shoveling done for him and doctors
for dyspepsia, but for him who does his
own manual labor and buys porous
piasters.
The dyspeptic dilettante thinks lawn
moving is the prettier and the easier.
That is because he never tried real snow
shoyeling and doesn't know anything
about the art Of moving. They IRE no
more alike than writing poetry and
compiling history. There's science as
well as art in both. The man who
doesn't fathom it fails to improve the
opportunities which nature so gener-
ously throws around him.
You've got TO know just why your
lawn mower will not cut and Just how
deep you can go with your snow shovel
at every shove. This implies constant
~ alert faculties. There's a time when
you can't use a snow shovel on your
snow and ice. That usually is when you
have brand-new one, painted green.
Then there are times when the ice
pick is of no use and the shovel is a
necessity. Most frequently that is i'm
mediately after you've broken your one
shovel. A wise husbandman never al
lows his supply of lawn mowers and
snow shovels TO run low, summer or
winter. Yet the very man who most
freely criticised the quartermaster's de-
partment in the Spanish war is the man
who is most careless in this respect.
There is as much difference in snow
paths as there is in oil landscapes, as
much index to character. One makes
path scarcely wide enough for a tight
rope walker; another bares the tagging
from grass to curb and adds a gutter
and a clean crosswalk. Callous though
he is, the latter is the better Christian,
is the further removed from barbarism.
And the chances are that be will sprin-
kle sand when the walk freezes over.
But in that you may be mistaken; a
toe firmly seated conviction of thy
neighbor's humanity may result in a
too sudden seat on the walk. We pur-
posely leave out of consideration the
heathen who allows his walk to remain
unshoveled. He isn't worth the ink
The more conscientious a man is, the
more quickly he masters the science oi
snow shoveling. He cuts the worst
drifts as readily as his wife cuts pie
He doesn't complain Of the time it takes
because he's the sort of a man who will
shovel swiftly through his Office work
however late he may be in getting at it
The fellow of the tight-rope walk viii
sit with his heels on his desk and tel
stories. He with no walk at all has q
showless hereafter TO contemplate. "By
their fruits We shall know them" vii

paths We shall know them" is better fol

MAKING A ToQUE.
Some Information About a Fashion.
able Headpiece for the
Season.

The little toque is decidedly in favor,
caught at one side and trimmed. 1t is
astonishing how hats are worn back on
the head and lifted at the side. Any
hat, of any shape and of any material,
treated in this way will be more or less
in favor, with the chances toward its
being more.
The tiniest toques are used for the
purpose. They are previously covered
with velvet, which is put over a founda-
ton of crinoline, the latter being laid
on in loose folds. The velvet sinks into
the indentations of the crown and is
lifted by the curves Of the crinoline un-
til its shape is decidedly irregular
When completed, the entire structure is
lifted at one side and caught with a
very large pin. The toque is then set
upon the head and spiked securely in
place.
The woman who is making the toque
now studies the shape of the face. and
as the situation of the little hat can be
changed, she turns and twists il until
she gets exactly the right angle This
is marked by an ornament which Is set
directly over the middle of her left eye
brow. When she puts the hat on, if she
has no looking glass, she feels for the
ornament and instantly sets i; well
back on her head on a line with her
pretty eyebrow.
This is no fanciful description; il is a
bit Of the accurate detail of putting on
toque. 1t was given to the writer by
the best milliner on Fifth avenue, who
said that she invariably instructed her
patrons 10 put on the hat by land
mark, as it were, not haphazard, with
uncertain results.-S. Y. Sun.
