LOndOners Careless About Their Hats.

Any one walking about the streets
OF London much must have noticed
what a change has come over the
headgear Of the population during the
last few years. At one time the top
hat was almost universal, especially
in the central part Of the town. No
self-respecting city man or even his
clerk ever thought of coming into
London in bowler hat and even IL
a man wore a short jacket he put on
his silk hat, a combination which was
truly horrible. In clubland, of course,
silk hats were always worn, and any
other sort of headgear would have
attracted more attention than was
absolutely pleasant. But now things
have changed, and the top hat is
getting rarer and rarer in the London
streets. The men VINO always wore
top hats now wear bowlers, or some
sort Of soft hat, while those who used
to wear bowlers now wear cloth cans.
1t Is very rare now to see laborer
in a round hat, whereas few years
ago holman carrying a load Of
bricks wearing this headgear was an
every day sight. The cloth cap is
now universal. The slackness first
began with straw hats during the hot
summers of the past few years, and
now on the slightest pretext men put
on the more comfortable If less smart
looking hats. Soon the silk hat will
only be seen in Piccadilly, Bond street
and on the stock exchange, and it will
be interesting to see if badness will
disappear with the hat which is said
to be one of the chief causes of it,

Intelligence of the Collie.

A story Of an heroic and intelligent
act by young collie dog comes from
Cages Lake, ILL.,, and as a result the
dog has found new home, and where
he will be treated as one Of the fam
lily, One afternoon, few days ago, a
3h year-old child disappeared from
the camp on the shores of the lake
where the child's parents were enjoy
ing an outing. When darkness came
on the child had not put in an appear
anse and everybody turned out to
search for her. All night the search
was kept up, and the anxiety Of the
parents knew no bounds. Finally it
was concluded the little one had died
in the water, and arrangements were
made by the father to drag the lake.
The camp of the family is on the
farm of Henry Meak. The next day
about 10 o'clock, Mr.. Meak was re-
turning from driving his cattle to
pasture and his dog ran with him.
Suddenly the animal began barking
terrifcally under a pile of brush. Mr..
Meak thought little of it, and passed
Gn, calling to the dog to follow, but
the animal kept on barking and re-
fused to move. Finally, drawn from
curiosity, the dogs owner thought
he would investigate, and, going to
the brush, saw asleep on the ground
the little wanderer, wholly oblivious
70 her surroundings, and unconscious
that she had been the cause of SO
much excitement and worry, says the
Live Stock Tribune. She was picked
hp and carried home to the fearful
mother, and the entire community
rejoiced at her being found. The
father Of the child went TO the farmer
and insisted that he should have the
dog. He gave a good price for the
collie, which is now the hero OF the
lake region.

Now Story oY fincnIn.

Two men were looking over some
steel engravings in an uptown shop
the other day with a view to purchase.
A portrait of Lincoln suggested to one
of them this story of Homes Abe,
which the narrator says he had from
his father:
Lincoln and his cabinet were in ses-
sion, but as he had anticipated no dis
cussions Of Importance, the president
left word that he would receive cards.
AS he supposed, the meeting was wnol-
ly social.
While they wero gathered about the
table a servant brought in two cards,
and Lincoln commanded that the call
ers be admitted. When they appeared
he found one to be tall, spare man,
the other one much understood. After
a moments chat they retired.
There is a remarkable instance of
tho providence of the Creator" re-
marked Lincoln, impressively, as he
turned again to his ministers. There
are two men. God has given one man
extraordinary long legs and the other
extraordinary short legs, yet He made
the legs Of each Of those men so that
they just exactly reach the ground!"-

Your Portrait on a Postal Card.

1t used to be necessary to be a cele-
brity If your portrait was to adorn a
postal card. Ordinary citizens who
had never distinguished themselves
in some such profession as the thea
tire, for instance, could not enjoy the
delight of seeing their pictures pre-
pared to travel through the mails vIsi-
BILE to every postman who delivered the
card. Nowadays fame is not indispen-
sable to the enjoyment of this sensa-
tlon. There are Photographic studios

Tears aA hfefIicino.

Human tears are not recognized as a
specific against disease in any other
country but Persia, and there, only
those tears which have been sned at a
funeral are supposed to have curative
qualities. In the country named the
custom Of bottling tears is an import.
ant feature of funeral ceremony. To
each OF the mourners present the mas
ter Of ceremonies presents a piece Of
cotton, wool or sponge, with which
to wipe away the tears. The contents
Of the wool or sponge are afterward
squeezed into bottle, and these tears
are preserved as a powerful and GER
tain restorative when all other medi-
eines have proved useless.

ENcLAND's NEW ROYAL HOUSE.
Brltain's New Ruler First Of the House OF
Saxe-Cobnrg.

BritRin's New Ruler First Of the House Of
Saxe-Coburg.
"Whitaker's Almanack," the famous
English year book, which is almost as
well known here as in it's native coun-
try, has caused some sensation by re-
cording King Edward VII. not as a
ruler Of the house Of Hanover, but as
the first British sovereign Of the house
of Sake -Coburg, thus making the late
Queen Victoria the last ruler of line
which has given to the British empire
six sovereigns.
The feeling in England is that
Whitaker is almost disloyal, and
that the change is wrong, yet, says the
New York Sun, little study of British
history shows that the almanac is en-.
tirely correct. The first change in the
reigning house after the Conquest
came at the accession of Henry H.,
who claimed through his mother, the
Empress Matilda, and was the first of
the Plantagenets. After the Wars of
the Roses, Henry, Earl of Richmond,

being originally a Welsh gentleman
named Tudor.
The Stuarts came in through a won.

did not carry on the Tudor line in
name; nor did George Of Hanover,
when he gained the British throne by
right Of his grandmother Elizabeth,
daughter Of the first English Stuart.
continue to represent the house Of his
grandfathers; he was the first Hano.
verian to reign in England. Each in.
coming house, though claiming through
a daughter Of its predecessor, gave its
own name to its sovereigns; it is strict
ly correct, historically, therefore, that
the line should change with the death
of Queen Victoria, and that the success
sion Of foreign Kings of Great Britain
should be continued by a ruler of the
house Of Saxe-Coburg, the name of the
German house to which the father os
he new King belonged.

Enthusiastically on the story, and 1t won
the arst prize.
To the question, What will you do
with the money? the Edwardses said
not a word. Weeks passed, and the
curiosity of the townspeople was stilE
on edge. Then one day an express
wagon delivered twenty Grated bicycles

why City Poor Are Not wrotched.

Life is not necessarily altogether
miserable for those who have poor
clothing, poor food and narrow house
room. There still remain some sources
OF happiness, not perhaps very many
but enough, where vice and drink are
absent to make men cheerful. women
patient and children merry. Grant
ing then that a family living below
the poverty line" is sober and re-
spectable-it would be manifestly
absurd to deny those virtues to a
good quarter of the whole population
what are the consultations open to
them? First Of all, the happiness
derivable from the affections belongs
alike to all, though among the very
poor we think strong affection is gen.
orally limited to that existing between
parents and children. Secondly, there
Is pleasure to be got from the gem
eral social life of a town. The fas-
cination exercised by the perpetual
procession of the streets is inconceiv-
able to those who do not feel 1t, but
almost all the poor do feel ii. How
many people does this fascination
draw from the country? How few
who have once fallen under its smell
ever tear themselves free from it?
Movement, light, company mates
for the man, neighbors for the wo.
man, playfellows for the children. all
these things a town offers to the
poorest Of her inhabitants.-Lo
