Can't Abbreyiate 1900

There's whole lot of people, thou
sands of them writing letters without
printed or engraved letter heads, who
abbreviate the year in the date line:
writing, for instance, instead of 1899.
80. Now.what will they do with 1900?
They certainly can't abbreviate that.
When we strike 1901 it will be all right
again, then they can write Jan. l, '0l;
but 90 wouldn't mean anything, and
there's nothing to do but to write the
year out. This will be done through
out the year 1900 many millions of
times; as a matter of sober fact the
multitudinous writing of these two
ciphers will involve the loss in the ag-
gregate of much time, and the using up
of thousands of pens and much ink.
But it's an IL wind that blows nobody
good. The writer's loss, here, is the
ink makers and the pen manufacture
ers' gain and for that matter it's Just
so with everything; things go on just
about the same, whatever happens."-

New Cures for Lunncy.

THE cures which we have to resort to
are in many cases. said the head physi-
clan of ere CT the largest Scottish luna
tic asylums, las curious as our patients
whims. One patient had for six years
been under the delusion that his head
was turned the wrong way physically.
We put him in a chair, tied him secure
ly, and then, having blindfolded him,
gave him an electric shock. He got up
crying with delight, and after that mo-
ment he was as sane as you or l. An
other declared he was top-heavy We
weighted his feet with two three-stone
weights and left him for day. Wheth-
er the extra weight effected the cure
or not l don't know, but he to-day holds
very responsible position under the
government, and is one of the clearest-
headed men | know. Another thought
that If he went to sleep the world
would stop moving. We dosed him with
choroform. When he woke 12 hours
later and found everything all right he
wept with joy, then turned over and
went to sleep again, waking six hours
later sane."-N. Y. Journal.

Lord Ru..elI. pi1emmn.

Once, when he first came to Lon
don and was laying the foundation of
his great career, says a London letter,
the future Lord Chief Justice Russell
went to the pit of theater. The piece
was popular, the pit was crowded and
the young advocate had only standing
room. All of a sudden a man at his
side cried out that his watch was
stolen. Mr.. Russell and two other
men were hemmed in.
at is one of you three" cried the
man minus the watch.
"Well, we had better go out and be
searched" said Mr.. Russell, with the
alertness of mind that did not fail him
at a trying moment amid an excited
crowd. A detective was at hand, and
the suggestion was accepted. AS Mr..
Russell walked out the idea flashed
through his mind that if the man be-
hind him had the stolen property he
would probably try to secrete it in the
pocket of his front rank man. Quick
as thought he drew his coattails about
him-only to feel, to his horror, some
thing large and smooth and round al
ready in his pocket
While he was still wondering what
this might mean for him, the detective
energetically seized the hindmost man,
exclaiming: what, you rascal! At it
againv' To Mr.. Russell and the other
man he apologized and bade them go
free.
But Mr.. Russell. before he had taken
many steps, reflected that he could not
keep the watch. He went back to the
box Office and explained, with a cour-
age on which he afterward said he
rarely experienced greater demands,
that though he did not take the watch
he had it So saying, he put his hand
into his pocket and pulled out-a for
gotten snuffbox.

The Panama Hat.

1.-THE cheapest straw hat to buy"
said a man who owns a beauty, sis,
after all, Panama, like this. Look
here" He took down his big white
hat, which was creased down the mid
die like pair of trousers, and rolled it
up tight; then he tossed it in. the air.
With a cracking sound it spread open
and fiuttered down to the floor in its
original shape, deep center crease and
all. you could soak this hat for a
week." he continued, "and iron 1t out
fiat afterward, but when you came to
put it on again it would be just as you
see it now.
"Women in Mexico and roundabout
all that region make the hats, using
straw that has been selected with more
care than could tell you of. The art
has been handed down in their families
from one generation to another, and 1t
is q secret art, unknown to any other
people In the world.
These women, living so far away
from everything, are ignorant of the
fashions, and that is why the hats
never change their ugly shape. If they
were fashionably made, the demand
for them would be enormous. AS it is,
hatters travel through all that country
and buy them up at good prices.
''The perfect Panama hat costs at
least $50, and If you should pay $50 for
a big and unusually light one you
would not be getting stuck."-Philadel-
phia Record.

Ell PASO SMELTER is
SECOND IN THE COUNTRY.
The Company is Not Through Build
ing Yet, and Our Big Smei.er Will
Soon Be the Biggest in the World.

Nothing more has been heard from
the big smelter combine mentioned in
The Herald's dispatches last week. 1t
was announced in New York that the
American Smelling and Refining COM
pany was about to buy the Guggenheim
interests in Mexico and consolidate
their business under one management.
Superintendent Earle of the Ell Paso
smelter said this morning that he had
heard nothing more of it but thought
it might be accomplished soon. Il have
known of such a deal for sometime" !"
he said, but do not think it has been
completed yet. l am not sure that the
deal includes all the mining property
of the Guggenheims but it is my opin-
ion that it does.''
Mr.. Earle says that this has been
a year of building at the plant here
and it now stands second on the con-
tinent. He says they are not through
building yet and before the end of an
other year the Ell Paso smelter will be
handling more ore than any smelter in
the United States if not in the world.
He thinks this will some day be the
largest plant in the world and will
probably employ more people than the
large plants that now do refining.
This smelter has been a great sue
cess and has the best territory of any
plant in the country
