Wore His Old Hat Home.

They were talking about getting bald.
"Men wear their hats too much" the
doctor was saying. 81 have noticed
that a great many business men wear
them in their offices. The head should
be kept bare as much as possible"
''My partner always wear an old straw
hat around the store" replied Market
street merchant "He wears this in
winter as we'll as in summer, or at least
he did until last winter, when he had
an experience that cured him Of it.
Zone very cold afternoon he left the
Office early. and as he walked briskly
through the street he noticed in a rather
absentminded way that he was attract
ing considerable attention. People turn
ed and looked after him and laughed.
1t was not until he had walked five or
six blocks that he realized what it all
meant. He met lady of his acquaint-
ance, and when he went to raise his
hat he found that he was still wearing
the old straw one. having forgotten to
change it when he left the Office For
tunately there was q hat store near by,
and he went in and bought one more
suitable to the season"

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
Something New Under
The Sum-"

All Doctors have tried to cure CA
IARRH by the use of powders, acid
gases, inhalers and drugs in paste
form. Their powders dry up the mu-
cuOus membranes causing them to
crack open and bleed. The powerful
acids used in the inhalers have en-
tirely eaten away the same men,
branes that their makers have aimed
to cure, while pastes and ointments
cannot reach the disease. An old and
experienced practitioner who has for
many years made a close study and
speciality Of the treatment Of CA
TARRH, has at last perfected Treat
ment which when faithfully used, not
only relieves at once, but permanently
cures CATARRH, by removing the
cause, stopping the discharges and cur
ing all Inflammation. It is the only
remedy known to science that actually
reaches the afflicted parts. This won
derful remedy is known as ''SNUF-
FILES, the GUARANTEED CATARRH
CURE" and is sold at the extremely
low price Of one dollar, each package

Waves to disappear.
QUEEN ELIZABETH'S FAULTS
She Was Very Vain and Inordinntely
FOrd of Fine Dress.

She Was Very Vain and Inordinntely
Fond of Fine Dress.
Yet Elizabeth was never really sue
cess.;ful with her wardrobe as Il more
feminine woman might have been. Her
dresses were never beautiful, only lu-
dicrOusly and most inapprOpriately
magnificent-laden with jewels, weight
ed down with cloth Of gold, stiff with
silver embroidery and so heavy that
even her big, powerful frame must,
without supporting vanity, have felt
the fatigue of carrying them about.
Elizabeth was certainly vain, but she
cannot claim femininity merely on that
account, for vanity is by no means an
exclusively feminine characteristic.
There are perhaps more vain women
than vain men because women have
more leisure and their costumes afford
greater opportunities for vanity than
the strangely hideOuS clothing which
custom has arranged for men, but no
thoughtful feminine) observer can
doubt that a vain man is vainer than a
vain woman.
Elizabeth's hands were her especial
pride, and, Judging from her portraits,
they were certainly beautiful. They
were laden with Jewels, and it was her
habit in public to pull her rings off
with absent artleSSnesS and push them
or again; moving those white hands
about in the most obvious way. Once,
during the grave consideration Of a
state paper, wherein her cold Sagacity
never took second place, she interrupt
ed the discussion to ask whether the
Due dAnjou, who was at one time one
Of her SuitOrS, had been told what a
pretty foot she had and how white and
well rounded was her arm? This in
the woman who financed the armada
with hard headed economy, who dared
the SuperStitiOuS terrOrS of her Owl
conscience in her high handed and i'm
pudent treatment of the bishops. whose
interest in methods Of torture for state
prisoners was most mechanical and in
te.ligent, entirely unhampered by any
squeamiSh feminine hesitation as to
blood or pain. is most curious.
In connection with this last charac
teristic Of cruelty vanity is not at al
unprecedented. Indeed. if one observe
closely one W i'll notice that excessively
vain persons have almost always {
strange inclination toward cruelty

A TRUE FISH STORY.
The Peculiar Adventure of a Wed
ding Ring.

ding Ring.
"About the queereSt fish story l
know Of" said a highly truthful look
ing man-indeed, he was clergyman
"happened to me at a little lake in Wis
consin, where l used to summer with
my family. One day my wife was out
in our boat with party Of friends.
She was letting her hand trail in the
water, without thinking about its
shrinking effect, and when she finally
took her hand in her wedding ring was
gone. The lake was deep at that point,
and although we made considerable
effort to recover the ring it was not
found.
Naturally it worried her a good deal,
and the next year she would not go
back to the same place, nor did we
go the following year, but the third
year we went there again. and one day
l was in the woods about a mile from
the lake with my boy, trying to get a
shot at some denizen of the forest or
other. AS we went peering around
among the trees to get a squirrel we
had seen l noticed something shining
on q twig of tree about % feet from
the ground. l sent my boy up after it,
and when he came back l was more
than astoniShed to find that the shining
thing was my wife's wedding ring.
"How it ever got there was a mys-
terry at first, but | was not a believer in
fairies and that sort of thing. so be-
gan to investigate for material causes.
The top of the tree had deadened, and
with a suspicion in my mind | sent my
boy up to see what signs might be
above the green bOUghS. He called
down to me presently that there were
remains of a fiShhawk'S nest in the
forks of the tree. and. putting this
and that together. came to the cOnclu-
sion that the hawk had caught the fish
that had gObbled up my wife'S ring in
| the lake and had taken it to the nest
for the young hawks. They didn't
care for jewelry and had left that
| part of the fish in the nest, from which.
as the nest vas blown to pieces by the
wind and beaten by the storms. the
ring had dropped out and by chance
| had caught on the twig where | found
it. In any event, if that was not the
way it got there. how did it? For II
surely was there. and my wife is wear
| ing it tOday."-EXchange

Slavery Protected the Negro.

If the negro had been forced to COM
pete for existence in America, he would
have been crushed out by the civilized
power, as the Indian has been, says
Albert Phelps in The Atlantic, but the
peculiar institution of slavery protect
ed him not only from this competition,
but also. by artificial means, from those
great forces Of nature which inevitably
weed out the weaker organisms and
which operate most unreStrainedly up
on the ignorant savage. For the first
time, perhaps, in the history of the
world human beings had been bred and
regulated like valuable stock, with as
much care as is put upon the best
horses and cattle. As natural conse-
quence the sanitary condition of the
negro during slavery was remarkable.
especially by contrast with his present
condition. and his growth was the alb
normal growth OF a~plant abnOrmally
raised in a dollhouse. When, therefore,
this mass of helpless beings was
thrown upon its own resources by the
act of emancipation and when the pro-
lection of slavery had been withdrawn,
the direSt WretchedneSS and suffering
followed.

The bell was said to have descended
