BARRIERS FASHION PLATES.
There Arc styles In Hair Cutting Just
as There Are i'm the Cut
ting of Clothes.

BARRIERS, Ike tailors, have fashion
plates, and in various suburban shops
the latest plates upon the ways tc
wear the hair are now pasted up, says
the Philadelphia Record. The plate
devotes itself to six styles, the illegal"
the medical" the "French," the pro
fessor," the Student" and the "busi-
ness man." The pictures are interest
ing. The 'legap style shows.a smooth
shaver young man with his hair cut
very short and parted and brushed up
in smooth, lustrous wing over either
temple The medical" picture is of a
foolish-looldng person with an i'm
mense nose and with light hair parted
on the side and brushed back far off
the brow. The French" shows youth
with his hair mass of small cork
screw curls. The student" has long
hair, parted in the middle and smoothed
down almost to his eyebrows. The
professor" has what is called a round
cut; his locks, that is to say, end at
a certain point on his neck in a round
ed mass, and beneath this mass the
shaven neck of the professor looks very
white and clean. The business man."
according to the fashion plate, wears
his hair short at the back and sides
and long on the top of his head, and
his parting IS in the middle, this ar
rangement making a kind Of scallop,
or double semi-circle, Of hair upon his
forehead. "What kind of a cut will
you have, sir?" the suburban BARRIERS
now say. "Shall It be medical, legal,
student, French or what?" And they
point with their combs at the fashion
plate and wait blandly for the custom

amiss- But there is mercy
with Thee"
mo" said the priest, suddenly, "you
must never tell your sister. Bear the
burden of remorse and repentance
bravely, as just punishment for your
sinning-but be comforted concerning
it, because, after all, it was sin of
ignorance and childhood, and you
knew not what you were doing. And
never, so long as you live, mention the
matter to any other human being.
Better, by far, that your sister should
continue to believe her lover unworthy,
than that, learning of the injustice
rendered both him and herself, she
should have one whit added to the load
which weighs so heavily upon her"
The girl slipped from the room,
quietly, smiling through her tears,
happy, relieved of her heaviest sor-
row, and Father John Burton, S. j.,
quiet man of God and the spirit, sank
upon his knees suddenly, hiding his
face in his hands. The strong throes
of mighty struggle were upon him.
Speeches. with sorrow, he strove
valiantly to vanquish the natural re-
sentiment of the long-forgotten self
which cried aloud for expression. But
the hard years of patience and self
denial bore him brave testimony in
that hour of disturbance, and when he
presently went forth to address the
assembled women his face and voice
were like those of a prophet inspired.
Father, forgive them-for they
know not what they do" was the sub
iect he announced for the meditation
of that evening, and the eyes of the
man discussing it rested, with pc
culiar and meaningful tenderness, on
the face of girl before him-the face
of the girl the burden of whose ter
rible responsibility had so recently
been shifted from her shoulders to his
own,

Errors Of the Eye.

The average woman cannot judge
how much a foot is within several
inches, but she can estimate a yard
very closely, while with the average
man the case is reversed. If some one
asked you which was the longer, a
horses head from the tip of his ears to
the end of his nose, or an ordinary
-four barrel, you would naturally say
the barrel, though the horses head is
the longer, says st. Nicholas. The eye
is very easily deceived if it is called on
to pass judgment on something that
has not been brought home to it by
experience.

NOT TRUE TO THE POLE.
Variations of the Magnetic Needle
Discovered Away Back in
Columbus Time.

Few familiar sayings convey more
erroneous notion than the phrase:
"True as the needle to the pole" In
order to keep track of the unfaithful-
ness of the needle to the pole, or the
variation of the compass" from true
north, the United States maintains a
separate bureau, the division of terres-
trial magnetism. The government is
now preparing, in cooperation with
European countries, greatly to enlarge
its work, and to make the investiga-
lions of 1902 memorable for their thor
oughness, says Youths Companion.
The magnetic needle varies not only
at different places, but the variation
changes from year to year, and even at
different times in the day. On the
"magnet-survey" charts those places
which at a particular time have
the same amount of variation are
connected by what is known as an
isogonic, or equal variation, line.
Through those points on the map in
which there is no variation of the
needle from the true north a line
known as the agonic passes.
Iron deposits and mountain ranges
modify the action of the unknown
causes Of the periodical variation, and
cause these lines to become even more
crooked than those which mark equal
temperatures, known as isothermal
lines.
Isogonic charts may be accurate to-
day and full of errors in few years
The celebrated Mason and DiXOn's line,
between Pennsylvania and Maryland
which was surveyed in the years 1868
to 1867, was run by the stars and not by
the needle, a great piece of foresight
in that day. If it had been surveyed
by the compass in 1900 it would have
! shown a deviation in some places OF
two miles, Were the line to be run by
uncorrected compass to-day, the varia'
ton would reach nearly 10 miles to the
south. and the rich cOal-fields of two
Maryland counties would be thrown
into Pennsylvania.
The discovery of the magnetic
needles shortcomings is believed tC
have been made during the voyage OF
Columbus, The disclosure really con
stituted high tribute to the scientific
perceptions of that day, even though II

CONNECTICUT MYTHOLOGY.
Extraordinary Things Set Forth In IA
Marvellous Book by n Pictur-
esque Parsonage.

Once upon a time--to be more pre-
else, in the latter part of the eighteenth
century-there lived a worthy Connec-
ticut divine named Rev. Samuel Peters,
says b. j. Hendrick. in Leslie's Month
ly. Peters was picturesque person
age in his way, but his fame rests en-
tirely upon the fact that he wrote a
book. This is one Of the most marvel
Gus works ever issued from the press.
1t was Mr.. Peters, for Example. who
first discovered. and made known to
the world, that the founder Of Yale
college was a Rev. Thomas Peters, eyi-

at Bellows Falls the water flowed so
fast that it became as hard as marble.

upon it; that two most marvellous

and the cuba" evidently thu ances.
tors Of the jabberwOck) roamed wild
in the Connecticut forests; and il IL
also from Mr.. Peters that we first
learn of the famous incursion Of the
Windham frogs. But it was in the
early jurisprudence of Connecticut
that this expatriate made his most in
terest ting discoveries. He informed
his English readers-and most Of them
believe the story deyoutly TO this day
that the citizens of the state were
forbidden by law to make mince pies
to play on any instrument of music eX-
cept the drum, trumpet or jewsharp,
and that every male must have his hair
cut round, according to a cap'-the
model preferably being the hard shell
of a pumpkin. In other words, Mr.
Peters was the original promulgator
of the Connecticut blue laws" and
his fame as the inventor Of many of
them is secure.

WEBSTER'S PLEA.
Before the Bar of the Famous
Lawyer.

Soon after Daniel Webster came to
the bar, he was retained in a suit be-
tween two neighbors, says the Green
Bag. 1t seemed that they had got to
loggerheads about disputed line, out
of which had grown trespass suits and
all sorts of controversies, and that the
more Tra1fiieeifenS and artful of the two
had so piled the other with law IN one
shape or anothe that he = ID nearly
ruined him, The latter at asst became
aroused and brought al action against
the other for malicious prosecution,
and retained Mr.. Webster to manage
It. On the trial proof of malice was
clear and convincing, and it was evl-
dent that the day of reckoning had at
last come. In summing up for the
plaintiff Mr.. Webster, after making a
strong argument against the defend
ant. showing that he had again and
a9ain instituted suits against his
cSent merely to perplex and annoy
him. closed as follows! 'In word,
gentlemen, / do not see how L can bet
ter conclude than in the words OF the
good old psalm" Then he looked at
The iu-y, but pointing to the defend
ant. he repeated from his favorlte
authors, Sternhold and Hopkins;
he dlgged a pit, he digged it deep,
ne digeed 1t for his brother,
nv his great sin, he did fall IN
The pit he digged for t'etheF
