MAN AND HIS HAT.
They Are Firmly Bound Together BY
the Red Tape Of Society.

They Are Firmly Bound Together by
the Red Tape Of Society.
There are things, it is comfort to
know, which even man cannot do,
and man is supposed to be able to do
almost anything. Now, novelist may
put his heroine's hat ON her head at
any angle he chooses-it is one Of the
few privileges of womanhood-and
leave her not bit less charming or
dignified, but defy him to put his
hero's hat at rowdy angle over his
ear at crucial point in his career and
leave him still heroic! The Achilles
heel of man is his hat! He must
guard that as he does his reputation,
for it is at once his strength and his
weakness.
It would hurt an archbishop-and an
archbishop necessarily stands for all
that is good and great-less in the eyes
Of the public to commit a crime than
to wear his hat on the back Of his
sacred head-real back-and SO exhibit
himself to his distressed diocese. He
may have all the known virtues and
many that are not known, but even an
archbishop cannot with impunity defy
convention. Still, IL he is so inclined,
why should not good and great man
wear his hat over his nose without
creating unfavorable comment? The
fact is he cannot. He is ruled by con-
vention, and convention is the red tape
Of society.
The cast iron laws of fashion, which
is only another name for convention,
are such that If the greatest man in
England were to walk with all his ac-
customed dignity from the Marble arch
to the bank with trailing peacock's
feather attached to the band Of his i'm
maculate silk hat he would be followed
by mob in two seconds, and by the
time he reached We're street the out
ragged majesty Of the law would take
him into custody as suspicious char
acter.-Mrs. John Lane In Putnam's
Monthly.

TIDES OF THE OCEAN.
Regularity Of the Flow and Ebb of che
Restless Waters,


OF all the operations of nature in
the whole world there are none more
regular in their courses than the tides
Of the ocean. So perfect is their ac-
ton and SO constant are they in their
ebb and dow that the big maritime
governments are able to figure out
the height of each and every tide for
every day and night more than year
in advance for any part of the earth's
surface.
In most places the tides run about
four to the twenty-four hours, two be-
ing food, when the water sweeps in
from the sea and makes what is known
as high water, and two being ebb.
when it sweeps back to the ocean, leav-
ing low water.
Each Of these tides lasts about six
hours-that is, for five hours or more
the waters are on the move, rushing
in or out, and they cease for time,
standing quite still in some places.
Sometimes tide will run flood on
the surface while it is running ebb be-
low near the bottom. Places where
this happens are always likely to make
danger spots for the mariner.
In the majority Of places the tides
rise and fall only a few feet, but on
shores where the banks are very steep,
falling off abruptly into deep water, it
often happens that the. tide when it
rises comes in so fast that it pours
through all narrow openings in cas-
cade-like torrents, making such things
as the famous ''bores" which may be
seen in places like the bay of Fundy.
In other places, again, there will be
more OF less than four tides in the
twenty-four hours. Furthermore, there
are localities where hardly any tidal
action at all can be observed. All
these peculiarities have been studied
and are taken into account nowadays
by the observers who make up the
tidal tables.

MARINES ARE LANDED
WILL PROTECT AMERICAN INTER.
EsTs IN COAST CITIES OF
HONDURAS.


Washington, March 22.-Bluejackets
and marines have been landed from
the United States gunboat Marietta at
Trujillo and Ceiba and probably at
Puerto Cortez, Honduras. in order to
protect American interests in those
ports. Advices to this effect were re.
ceived at the navy department from
Commander Fullam of the Marietta.
and they were at once transmitted to
the state department. As yet NO
word has been received as to whether
forces have been landed at Central
American ports on the Pacific coast
side, but undoubtedly this step will be
taken If American interests are CON
sidered in danger.

TO SECURE PUBLIC DEPOSITS.
Various Bonds Acceptable to Secretary

Washington, March 26.-The secre-

that he will accept in substitution for

posits, any other government bonds,

PRICES ON THE NEW YORK
STOCK EXCHANGE.
LACK OF CONFIDENCE VERY APPARENT
URGENT SELLING AND ABSENCE
OF ANY BUYING DEMAND
CAUSE OF SLUMP.

New York. March 26.-Prices in
stocks broke wildly again soon after
the resumption of operations on the
Stock Exchange. The opening deal
ings showed momentary stand
against the forces Of depression,
which was helped by the more cheer
full tone of London advices. The scat
tered gains here in response to this
were not up to the London parity,
however, and there were many ragged
declines. Almost Immediately prices
gave way and quickly succeeding quo
tations showed some damaging breaks.
Amalgamated Copper, Reading, the
United States Steel stocks, the Harri-
man and Hill stocks and st. Paul were
special sufferers and the collapsing
tendency in these stocks commune
Gated itself to the whole market.
The wide intervals of the decline
between sales marked the urgency of
the selling and the prostration of the
demands. Great Northern Ore GER
tifcates slumped 91h, Union Pacific

From this level Great Northern Ore
certificates rebounded S, Union Pacific

dian Pacific 21a, Southern Pacific and
Great Northern preferred and other
active stocks point or more.
The market quieted after the first
hour and showed resistance to a new
decline. The dealings became very
dull at the higher levels.
The unchecked liquidation in the
metal industrial stocks brought q
fresh flood upon the market from all
quarters and the tone became almost
completely demoralized again. Amer
ican Smelling broke 12h points,
Amalgamated Copper 9h, Union Pa
cific, Reading and Great Northern

Extensive covering to take profits
by the bears rallied the market in the
final hour. When this buying ceased
prices slipped back again in some
cases to 4 lower level than before and
the whole market became very weak
again.
