Flowers That Won't Mix.

A Broadway florist who had just
received an order for table decora-
tons called up the customer in
haste.
"Say," he said, ''those bouquets
and centerpieces won't last half
through the dinner. You've mixed
roses and mignonette, and those two
flowers simply won't hitch. You'd
better let me carry out the designs
to suit myself
The customer at the other end of
the wire evidently agreed to the
suggestion, for the florist hung up
the receiver with a satisfied air.
"Most people who order flowers
make the same mistake that that
woman made" he said. "They do
not know that. certain flowers posi-
lively cannot get along together.
Take roses and mignonette, for ex-
ample. Each has bad effect on the
other, and when combined in any
floral piece the whole thing willis in
less than an hour" New York

The Glass Washer.

When you dine en- famille at a
house where each glass on the table
is worth $40 you naturally wonder
how the servants manage to wash
and dry so costly and delicate an
article without breaking. I put the
question to a matron who is her
own housekeeper, 'Tell me how
many of your beautiful goblets,
tumblers, wineglasses, sherry glass
es, etc., are broken every week." "
She replied: every glass is insured
by company formed for the pur-
pose. This company sends to us
every day an expert glass washer,
a Bohemian, and if he breaks any
thing it has to be paid for. Our
butler keeps tab on him, Of course.
He breaks very few pieces, indeed.
Before he came to us we lost a great
many through the carelessness of
our maids. New York Press.

The town of Newport, Me-, was
at one time the proud possessor of

A PuzzIer.

1t is not often that a class of
school children is permitted to ex-
anime its teacher, but a Glasgow
pedagogue was SO pleased at the way
his pupils answered his questions in
an examination that he told them
they could ask any question they
liked. No one took advantage of
the offer, and the teacher was about
30 dismiss the class when he no
ticed one little chap in deep thought.
"Well, what is it?" he asked. Il was
just about to ask you, sir" replied
the youth, whether, if you were in
a soft mud heap up to the neck and
l was to throw a brick at you, would
you duck"

W0MEN's HATS.
No Two Of Them Are or Ever viii Be
Just Exactly Alike.

JUST Exactly Hiikes
There are no two things alike in
this world-no two atoms alike, no
two blades of grass alike, no two
peas alike, no two faces alike--won-
derful-most wonderful of all-no
two ladies' hats alike! Has this
thought ever been impressed upon
you while sitting in an assemblage
Of women? Oh, the wisdom and
forethought of nature, for were each
woman to have a hat similar to her
neighbours what an infinite variety
of additional woes and heartaches
and tears the human race would
have had to bear!
And yet Matthew Softleigh, born
and bred in New York, knew naught
of this. His tender brain could not
conceive the fact that everything in
this world is infinite in its revolu-
tons and qualifications, particular
ly ladies' hats, so Matthew backed
his poor Judgment with real money
and made wager with his friend,
Silas Cute, that he would soon find
him two hats that were alike.
Matthew and Silas selected'a day,
and they walked up and down the
great White Way, they promenaded
Fifth avenue, they visited the parks,
they strolled to the east side, the
west side and every other side; they
visited the theaters, the concert
halls, the churches. From day to
day the quest continued until both
were weary and footsore. They saw
Gainsboroughs, picture hats, hats
with ribbons, hats with feathers,
hats with aigrettes, but no two hats
alike. They saw dreams of red and
blue and green as well as night
mares and incubi of arabian
Nights" phantasy. There were po-
etry and prose, music and flowers
typifed in every one, but no two
alike. What ingenuity they repre-
sented, what ceaseless brain activ-
ity, what thought, what feeling,
what delicacy in some, which if put
into a poem or a symphony would
earn him or her place in the Hall
Of Fame!
Matthew lost his bet, and it is
well that he did. There should be
no two hats alike, there are no two
hats alike and there never will be
two hats alike. Nature, like wom-
an, is feminine. She has variety
Of moods, of expression, of beauty,
Of color, Of form and figure, and a
woman's hat is the embodiment, the
epitome Of her every thought, her
every wish, her every desire. Not
one woman is like another; neither
can her hat be. And when the time
comes that two hats are found alike,
then will genius have reached its
limit and the world will have lost
all its beauty and all that makes
life worth living.-New York Her

LONDON "TosHERs."
They Explore the Sewers In Search Of
Articles of Value.

ArttcleS OF Naiues
Shoremen or shore workers they
sometimes call themselves, but
their most familiar appeIation is
"toshers," and the articles they
pick up "tosh."
They really belong to another
well known class, the mudlarks, but
consider themselves a grade or two
above these latter, for the genuine
tosher does not confne himself, as
they do, to travelling through the
Thames mud and picking up odd
pieces of coal or wood, copper, nails,
bolts, iron and old rope. The tosh-
er, when the coast is clear of the
police, makes his way into the sew
ers and will venture sometimes for
miles in quest of valuables that oc-
casionally find their way into them
by way Of the kitchen sink or the
street grating.
When about to enter the sewers
these men provide themselves with
pole seven or eight feet long, on
one end of which there is a large
iron hoe, a bag carried on the back,
canvas apron tied around them
and a dark lantern similar to po-
liceman's. This they strap on their
right breast, SO that while walking
upright through the large sewers
the light is thrown straight in front.
When they come to the branch sew
ers and have to stoop the light is
thrown directly at their feet. AS
they make their way they use their
hoe in the mud at their feet and in
the creyices Of the brickwork, and
occasional shillings and silver
spoons find a temporary resting
place in the bag at their back or in
their capacious coat pockets.
The toshers generally go in gangs
of three or four, both for the sake
Of company and to be able to de-
fend themselves from the rats with
which the sewers swarm. When
they come near a street grating
they close their lanterns and watch
an opportunity to slip past unno-
ticed, for otherwise a crowd of peo-
pie might soon collect at the graf
ing whose presence would put the
police on the alert. They find great
quantities Of money, copper money
especially, in the crevices of the
brickwork little below the grating
and not infrequently shillings, half
crowns and sixpences, with an oc-
casional sovereign or half sovereign.
When Gin luck" they find many
articles of plate, spoons, ladies, sill
yer handled knives and forks, mugs
and drinking cups and now and then
articles of jewelry. They general
ly also manage to fill their bags
with the more bulky articles found
in their search, such as old metal,
bones and ropes. These they dis
pose of to the marine store dealers
and rag and bone men and divide
the proceeds, along with the coins
found, among the different mem
bers of the gang. At one time the
regular toshers used each to earn
from 80 shillings to e2 a week, but
with the construction of new sewers,
grated at the mouth, their industry
is not so easily exercised and is
consequently much less profitable.

WRESTLING
NOW FOR CONTESTS
Kelly and Roach Anxious Now to Get at Each Other = Mike
 Dwyer in the South.

Now that everything i:as been set tied satisfactorily to the wrestlers. the management and the public at large, the two Waterbury boys who will meet to decide the city championship on Friday next in the SimOnsville Athletic club have settled down to hard work. Each realizes HOW that 1t will be the battle of his wrestling career and each will fight hard to win.
 Kelly is still as confident that hc can do the trick he agreed to. as he was the night he made the challenge. He does not hold Jack Roach too cheaply but he feels that Roach, like himself is no better than he ever was and if this is so he can see nothing to it but for himself to draw down tue money.
 Roach is just as confident that Kelly has bitten off more that he can chew and he will go onto the mat prepared to do the battle of. his life.
 That this will be whirlwind affair needs no further telling. for the friends of both men are up in arms and will back their favorites to q standstill. All those who were any- ious to see Murphy of New Haven do his work on the mat will have that chance for in George Gresham he will find champ that knows every bit of the wrestling game from the top to the bottom.

NOTES OF THE MEETING.

Attorney Durant told the directors tI;at enthrs1asm already rii1s high in Waterbury. He has seven pitchers signed. including that clever perioSn- CT. Lefty Rogers.
 The schedule committee. Dan O'Neii. Bert Daly and c. ]. Danaher, will meet in Bridgeport week from Tuesday to get busy making dates.
 W. I. Tracy. the former Hartford owner. came down from Bristol. He is still yice-president of the league and immensely popular with the directors.
 Dave Hill. who has umpired many games in the league. and Arthur Mich ois. a big league player of few years ago. dropped in to exchange greetings with the club owners.
 Terry Rogers was in attendance and joked with the managers on his trou- bles with the umpires. Terry Is now reserve police officer in Bridgeport and has not made his plans for next season.
 The Waterbury delegate brought news that Roger Connor and brother Joe are both enjoying life. Joe ex pects to be with the New York An,eri cans for the season. as he shaped ur we'll in his trial last fall.
 Mike McAndrews refuses io go to Waterbury and Dan UNeil says he wouldn't object to having him. prohabiIity is trade in which Water bury will get Red Nagle in exchange for McAndrews.
 The opening in Waterbury is likely ,o be delaye-l a few days while grounds are being whippe.l into shape. NIT Durant says the club has good grounds in view. but that it will take lot of work before they are ready for base ball.

His performance recalled the mill with Tommy West in Madison Square Garden the last year of the Houton- law. when he was. ps7eiised or throwing the fight by asserting that he had broken his left arIn at time when couple of punches with the right would have sent West into dreamland. Walcott insisted that he had done nothing wrong Ut the time. but the fact that a bunch of educated money had been wagercd on West at liberal odds convinced the talent that the fight was anything bu. on the square. Since Walcott shot himself in the hand he has been practically out of pucilism

THE SPORTING. NEWS.

six round bout with Joe Hagen at the Broadway A. c. Thursday night. Burke was cool, judged distance bet ter and put more steam behind his wallops than Hagen.
 The latter. however, was always willing to mix it up, and in several of the rounds was actually the aggressor, but his blows carried no damage to his opponent. The first round favored Burke and ill the next one in rush he sent Hagen reeling to the ropes.
 Hagen did better in the third and fourth when he ran home hard blows to the body that made Burke wince. Some of these blows were low and Ha- gen was repeatedly warned by Referee Lew Bailey. Burke again had the up per hand in the last two rounds and hard rights cut Hagen's mouth and nose, drawing blood. Burke clearly earned the decision.
