How to Trim Your Hat.

The seasons millinery has a great
dezf in it's favor, and great deal
against IT. In the latter category can
be mentioned the fact that it is more
difficult to trim ones hats than last
year. Last years hats were easily
trimmed ut home. But this year the
hand of a professional is almost
necessary.
And hats are. dear, too. This year
you must pay d good price where last
year you could get along on So and
less The reason is that the hats are
more elaborate. The trimmings cost
more. The articles used upon them
are more expensive, and the result is a
consequent higher figure.

rDrc4rIoN 1N sorrR AFRIcA.

Let New Haven boys who can have the advantages given by our splendid school system thank their stars that they are not South African schoolbOys, A paper was read the other day before the members of the British Association now in South Africa by Principal Way of Graaf Reinet college on the disabih- ties of the South African schOolboy. He arlaigned the climate for exerting a
 malign influence on education, inas- much as where all Nature smiled without, a library was a prison and
 books were fetters.'' Another drawback he alleged, was proximity with a con- quered race, which involV cd disregard for human life and personal dignity, and the degradation of manual labor
 Another trouble was bilinguality, which involved much friction, waste of time,
 and loss of power. The speaker even NCHLulCu lO uSSIdLC bAft hC "OuAO
 welcome a bloody native instruction If it would bring home to the younger generation, at any rate, that the school should not be made the battle-ground of a struggle between the two white races, and that the edged tools of the native vote should not be played with by either political party" He further de- plored the absence of any good agricul- tural college, the conversion of the ed- ucational question into political shut tlecock, the conflict of rival systems, the absence of large boarding schools, and the suspicion and contempt with which the teaching profession was gen. erally regarded. Finally, MT. Way con cluded his pessimistic paper by con demning the parsimony of the Govern ment in the matter of educational en- dowments. "A residential South Afrl- can university would be an as- set worth hundred mines or million miles of railroad Money might be the root of all evil: 1t was the want of it which was the curse of education in South Africa at the present moment" "

It is recalled that in the spring of 1881 Benjamin P. Butler said to President Lincoln: The enIistments of the negro soldiers have from two to three years to run. Why not send them all down there (1o the Isthnlus of Panama) to dig the canal? They will withstand the climate and the work can be done with less cost to the United States in that way than in any other. If you choose. will take command of the expedition. We will take our arms with us, and I need not suggest to you that we will need nobody sent down to guard us from the interference of any nation. We will proceed to cultivate the land and supply ourselves with all the fresh food that can be raised in the tropics. which will be all that will be needed, and your stores of provisions and sup plies of clothing will furnish all the rest. After We get down there we shall make a humble petition for you to send our wives and children to us, which you cannot well refuse, and then you will nave a United States colony in that re- zion which will hold it's own against all corners, and be contented and hap py.

q certain way to move him. While do not consider myself in any sense a good mimic of wild animals, am rather proud of my imitation Of the screech of a wild cat. Not long ago hid in a wild cat cave which l knew was to be explored by hunting party the same day. By giving my imitation at precisely the right moment, l stam- .peded the party, and incidentally came rather near getting shot for my folly. Going close to the prostrate bunalO, now gave that screech, and the effect was magical. The youngster was on his feet in a wink, and almost before could get a good grip on the reins, he was going up the road, believing at every leap. I ran, too, for had to, but very soon I drew him in, and with the exception of a few balks from time to time, when he suiked under the bit, he went for three miles as though he rather liked it.
 Next day We put the harness on the other little bull and took him out for his first trial. His disposition proved to be quite different from that of his mate, for he never lay down, but sprang away the moment he was giV- en his head, kicking, buck-jumping, believing and snOrting, until it seem- ed that he would be obliged to stop from sheer exhaustion. He kept 1t up until his sides heaved and his tongue hung out of his mouth six inches, but managed to keep his head pointed away from home, and gradually he be- came more quiet. But only for min ute or two at a time, and then away he would go, kicking and bucking as before. I dared not take him more than a mile on the road for fear he might injure himself in his struggles. so I turned him homeward. It was circus all the way to the house, but when he came opposite his own gate 1 he stopped, let me take the harness off without a fuss, and began to nibble grass as soon as he trotted into the pasture. The following day, after taking him out for mile or two, I turned him loose in the pasture with his harness on, that he might have a chance to become used to it.

4 CLOSED CHURCH.

There is trouble of a solemn kind in Crantock church, Newquay, Corn wall. Crantock church is closed until further notice except at hours of di- vine service. The church has hitherto beeE freely open. It is deplorable that it cannot so remain, as it ought to-
 This is wholly due to the irreverence ofnumbers of women, who, walking uE.- covered, presume to enter Gods house with no sign of reverence or modesty upon their heads. A small veil or 'ker- chief would betoken this and be suf- ficient. but remonstrance during several seasons has proved in vain. So oays the Rev. G. M. Parsons, the vicar of Crantock church, and he adds: Such a refusal by men to offer the customary respect of uEcovering would justify their exclusion from Gods house. The corresponding refusal by women to cov- CT their heads obliges it. The church is closed with deepest regret and shame for the cause. It will mean much loss to the church of the devotion and of- ferings of the reverently disposed. It is hoped, however, that the solemn pro test thus made in Gods name will bring thoughtless persons to a better sense of what is due to his presence and glory, so that his house may be speed fly set upon as freely as before."
 It will be interesting to notice the ter mination of this incident. If mum bers of women" have resisted remon- stranee for several seasons perhaps

MORE MONEY TO SAVE OR BURN.

MORE MONEY TO SAVE OR BURN.
 While we of this blessed country are growing richer every minute, there is a pleasing prospect that we can become still richer by a reduction in the cost of living. The price of sarm products is beginning to recede under the promis- ed abundant supply. Flour has declin- ed @ dollar barrel from the highest price reported last year. A statistician estimates that such a reduction is a gain to consumers in the United States approximating the snug sum of $100,- O0O,O00, and adds that, inasmuch as pes- simtstic comment has been dilating up- on the higher cost of living, it will soon be in order to take note of a ma terial reduction in the price of staple food products. It is predicted that cheaper meat will be the rule when cat tie fed on the present public corn crop come into the market next spring, if the Beef trust is merciful.
 We may not get much help from a merciful Beef trust, but a prudent Beef trust may see sdane of the points that have recently been made. Anyhow, there will not be an excuse for advanc- ing prices.

TANNING THE BuFFALoEs-rnrt VII.

The reader may rememeber that
 few weeks ago I discontinued a series
 of articles devoted to the tanning of several buffalo calves which I obtain ed from Corbin Park last spring. It may be recalled that I made special mention of two little bull calves, which were already partly broken to the yoke when I discontinued the story until cooler weather made 1t ad-
 visable to go on with the training.
 The cool weather has come, and the training is going on, though in the meantime the calves have changed very much in appearance. The tawny hair which covered their bodies when they were born, but which began to fall out early in the summer, has now entirely disappeared, except about the ankles, and has been replaced by a dark brown coat, which daily grows longer and warmer in anticipation of the coming winter. Their color is now that of the adult buffalo, and will re- main unchanged throughout the rest
 of their lives.
 When I again took up their educa-
 tion, I found they had forgotten some of what they had been taught con-
 corning yokes; yet they remembered
 most of it, and soon relearned the rest, l now determined to break them to harness as well. There are always so many people ready to tell one what cannot be done, and I knew that, no matter how well they behaved in the yoke some prophet would be sure to
 arise and tell us that it would be im- possible to guide them with the bit.
 By the same token I knew that if they went ever so well in double harness, it would be said that they would nev- CT work singly, or vice versa. So when I ordered the harness I ordered
 both a single and a double set, and
 when I ordered cart, it was one on
 which a pair of shafts and a pole were
 interchangeable.
 When the harness arrived, thought it would be best to try one of the young buffaloes at a time in single harness at first. The cart was not
 ready at that time, and of course I
 should not have used it if it had been. Y lfSC OI all, l IGQ the VlCtlm to Q
 tree, and having secured him with a rope and halter I proceeded, with the
 help of an assistant, to put on the harness. Goodness, how that buffalo
 did kick! He not only kicked hard and
 often, but remarkably straight, as
 well, and we had to move with consid- erable agility to prevent his planting
 his feet on us even oftener than he
 did. But at last the deed was done the harness OF his back, the bridle on , his head and the bit in his mouth.
 Then, while I took a firm hold on the reins, my assistant united him. What did he do? Well, to be frank, he didn't do anything-at first. He stood quite steady in his tracks, and a slight application of the whip did not seem to even change his trend of thought.
 I applied it a bit harder, and he gave me his attention. He deliberately lay down, as though he'd been trained to do just that thing. tried all kinds of
 persuasion, but evidently he had no in- tention of getting up and might have gone to asleep if had not thought of

QUITE fl QUESTION.

When is man drunk? Some think a man is drunk when he IS so much ''in liquor," or so much liquor is in him, that he falls down and clutches the ground to keep from falling up. Others believe that a man is drunk when he cant say truly rural some where near as it ought to be said. Still others call a man drunk when he is preternaturally solemn, or painfully and laboriously polite. And so forth and so on. An exact and comprehen- sive definition of drunkenness would be valuable, but perhaps it will not be soon made, owing to the many difficult ties in the way. Meanwhile it is in- teresting to notice a contribution made to the definition by Connecticut judge Judge Holcomb of Torrington, Charles Albro was arrested for intoxicatfon and brought before Judge Holcomb in the borough court for punishment Judge Holcomb discharged the accused and in the course of his explanation why he did so, said: It appears to the court that it would be a dangerous procedure to arrest a man because he slightly staggers. A misstep might be due to some other cause than liquor, and, even if a sign of approaching intoxication, it would be reasonable to give the per- son chance to get home if he was making such an effort and was not in- terfering with the rights of others, A limited number of missteps might be considered pardonable.
 This is reasonable and humane. Po- lice officers in New Haven practice what Judge Holcomb breaches, and many men whose wives would and do call them drunk are thus saved from nublic woe.

They know what local pride is in Kansas. Judge J. H. Reeder, of that State, tells of an exhibition of town spirit is a case in which he once ap- peared as counsel. At that time it was customary for Kansas towns to con- tend bitterly for the honor of being the county seat. The contest in Ness coun- ty, where the court was sitting, was acrimonious. The case in no way in- avolved the question of the county seat The jury happened, however, to be li- vided equally between partisans of Ness City and of the rival town. Con- sequent1y, when 1t came to a ballot for foreman, each town had it's candidate, and the vote stood six to six, For long hours they balloted with the same re- suit, the presiding judge at intervals admonishing, beseeching, threatening, but all in vain. After thirty-six hours of this unpielding struggle the judge, doubting his power to punish them, dis charged the jurors in despair-the vote still standing six for Ness City and six for the rival town.

The returns to the War department from the officers who are conducting the recruiting service show that with in the last month the total number of enhstments was about four thousand, of which two-thirds were made at city stations. The largest lumber of re- cruits was obtained, of course, in New York city, which includes two recruit ing offices in New York and one in Brooklyn, where 149 men were accepted and 34S applicants rejected. A good showing was made at Syracuse, where tWeEty-nine recruits were accepted, at Buffalo, where twenty-two were &C., cepted, and at Albany, which recruit ing office includes Poughkeepsie and Schenectady, where forty men were en- listed. The remainder of the total en- listments were made at the military posts and in the field. After the crops are gathered, as usual in the winter months, the proportions of enIistments from the bucolic districts will probably Increase.
