The Hat and the Title.

There is an amusing English defni-
ton of gentleman" 1t is "a man who
wears n silk hat, and If he has no other
title insists upon having Esq added to
his name when letters are addressed to
him."
The west end Londoner of social
pretensions accepts this definition in
practice. Summer and winter, in rain
or shine, he wears a high silk hat in
the streets of London and carries 1t
into the drawing room when he pays
an afternoon call. 1t is only when he
takes j train for the provinces or for
the continent that he ventures to use
more comfortable headgear.
He also expects to have the distinc-
ton of esquire" when n letter is adj
dressed to him and is highly offended
If he finds on the envelope the prefix
Mr." AS a matter of fact the num-
Der of English gentlemen who are le-
gally entitled to the medieval honors
of esquire is insignificant. 1t is 4
self assumed title which signifies moth
ing that is substantial in rank or priv
ilege.
In common use in London esquire"
simply means that the person SO ad-
dressed does not choose to be associ-
ated with tradesmen and ordinary
working people and that he is ''gen-
tleman'' who invariably wears a silk
hat-Youth's Companion.

overinduIgence In Coree.

Coffee is a powerful irritant Of the
cerebro spinal nervous system. Re
cent tests have shown that it increases
mental and bodily waste rather than
retards it, as has been claimed. COT
fee poisoning is sometimes mistaken
for the troubles engendered by the use
of alcohol. In both cases the stomach
and nervous system are the sufferers.
Caheic and alcoholic gastritis are
nearly identical as to their symptoms.
The use of coffee by children has in
several cases caused an arrest of de-
velopment. Cases have been reported
of delirium tremens brought on by the
excessive use of coffee It Is related
in q foreign medical journal that a
man, in the absence of his wife, un-
dertook to make his own coffee. Not
knowing the correct proportions for
use, he took about one-quarter of Il
pound of fresh roasted coffee for two
cups. Two hours afterward he COM
planned of vertigo, headache and. at
first, trembling of the legs only, which
soon became general. followed by sew
eral other distressing symptoms, some
of which continued a day or two
longer.
By busy physician it is stated that
at least twO-thirds of his practice
comes from the excessive use of coffee
as we'll as the use OF alcoholic liquors,
often almost wholly obliterates the
sense of taste.-Health Culture.

English Rcd Tape.

At the present time. when the system
of red tape is being attacked and rid.
iculed, the following somewhat anus
ing methods of dealing with matters
are still adopted in one of the great
government departments.
For Instance. a hairbrush and comb
must be purchased under the head of
service clothing" whereas a tooth
brush is under fuel and spectacles
under medicines" A clothesbasket
is clothing" but clothes pegs are Gin
cidentals." The funniest of all, how
ever, are guano and straw. they being
purchased under "victualing."
A good instance of red tape is told in
connection with the excise. An officer
had entered in the inquiry column of
his return: March 13. Dog dead"
This did not satisfy his superior, who
told him to inquire again. which the
obedient officer did, recording: april
10. Dog still dead."-London Stand

Encouraged to Hone.

When the Empress Frederick. eldest
daughter of Queen Victoria. was Lit.
tie girl, her disposition. to the great
grief of the queen, was naughty and
arrogant. Once. when about to embark
on the royal yacht Victoria and Albert,
she was lifted across to the deck of the
boat by one of the sailors. who, as he
was putting her down gently, said,
There you are, my little lady"
Il am not a little LADY, I am a
princessr' was the prompt and indig-
nant reply. The queen, who had over
heard the conversation, detained the
man with gesture, and. turning to her
spoiled little daughter. said:
Tell the kind sailor that you are
much indebted to him for bis civility
and that, although you are not a little
lady yet, you confidently hope to merit
the title before long"

a light chain securely fastened on

new curtains and rapidly devoured
some half yard or so OF a hand painted

heart. Then came an interval of calm
and exemplary behavior which fulled
me into 4 false security. Cookie seemed
to have but one object in life, which
was to pull out all his own feathers,
and by evening the dining room often
looked as though q white fowl had
been plucked in it.
1 consulted a bird doctor, but as
Cookies health was perfectly good and
his diet all that could be recommended,
it was supposed he only plucked himself
for want of occupation, and frewood
was recommended as a substitute.
This answered very well, and he spent
his leisure in gnawing sticks of deal
only when no one Glanced to be in the
room he used to unfasten the swivel
of his chain, leave 1t dangling on the
stand aud descend In search of his
playthings. When the fire had not
been lighted, 1 often found half the
Goals pulled out Of the CRATE and the
firewood in splinters. At last, with
warmer weather, both Goals and wood
were removed, so the next time Master
Cookie found himself short of job he
set TO work on the dining room chairs,
first pulled out all their bright nails
and next tore holes in the leather,
through which he triumphantly
dragged the stuffing.
At one time he went on q visit fer
some weeks and ate up everything
within his reach in that friendly estab-
lishment. His bag" for one afternoon
consisted of a venerable fern and 4
large palm, some library books, news
papers, a pack of cards .and an arm
chair. And yet every one adores him.
and he is the spoiled child of more than
one family.-Cornhill.

Reading a Book.

A writer in the New York Medical
Journal says that the curved pages of
the ordinary book are injurious to the
eye of the reader. The curvature ne
cessitates a constant change of the To-
Gus of the eye as it reads from one side
to another, and the ciliary muscles are
under constant strain. Moreover,
the light falls unequally upon both
sides of the page, further interfering
with continued clear field of vision.
1t is suggested that the difficulty might
be obviated if the lines should be print
ed parallel TO the binding instead of at
right angles to it.

Boston, Aug. 10.-Chairman Mark
Hanna and Treasurer Cornelius n.
Bliss, of the Republican national COM
mittee, arrived in Boston yesterday
morning for the purpose of comforting
with party leaders in this state regard
ing the conduct of the approaching

from the Touraine to the Exchange
club, where prominent men in Repub-
lcan political circles lunched and dis
cussed matters of deep concern TO the
party.
Among those in attendance were
Senators Hoar and Lodge. After the
conference Meyer. in n hurried inter
view, said that the meeting had been
only for the purpose of affording Sen
ator Hanna an opportunity to discuss
the conduct of the campaign with
prominent business men of the party.

BRYAN ARRIVES AT CHICAGO.
Close of His Visit to Indianapolis-Hi,
Future Plans.

tuture Plans.
Chicago, Aug. 10.-Colonel W. j.
Bryan arrived here on his return from
indianapolis last evening. At the lat
ter city he was up early yesterday, and
was driven down town in a carriage
from Mayor Taggart's home at $40.
Many people on the streets recognized
him as the carriage passed, but he
slipped into the Grand hotel almost IN
noticed. He did not get far, however,
before he was surrounded by the crowd
that had been lounging about the hotel
lobby. Bryan had nothing to say as to
what influence the notification would
have on the Indiana voters. Asked if
he did not regard the notification as
the Opening Of the national campaign
for his party, he said that he did.
Discussing his plans for the immedi-
ate future, he said: Il have two more
Notification speeches to make, my let
ter of acceptance to issue, Il speech at
the Grand Army encampment and a
speech some where Labor Day. don't
know where l shall speak Labor Day.
i have promised to come here for the
meeting OF the National Association OF
Democratic Clubs in September, and /
shall be present"
Bryan objected when he was asked
If he would make another tour of the
country during the campaign as he did
in 1896. II don't believe in making
ones plans known so far ahead. There
are likely to be changes and then the
newspaper men go to figuring why
promises are not kept. l have given
you my plans for month ahead, and
you ought to be satisfied at that" The
Bryan party. including the Stevensons,
John /. Martin, Governor Thomas,
lanes D. Richardson, and several 9TH
ers left indianapolis at 11:45 for this
