would you wear your straw hat
down to the office to-day?" asked the
mans wife.
"By no MEANS" replied the man.
"That is different altogether. If wore

1 wore last winter, though
Because it isn't conspicuous If it
made you conspicuous you wouldn't.
You know perfectly well that you
wouldn't. You'd go straight to a hat
ter's and get something that was in
style. But you want me to be conspic-
uous, and 1 am"

tie hat you bought spick and span new

uous?" demanded the man.

TWAS in Tater Time.

The late Senator Plat Of Connecticut
enjoyed funny stories and could tell a
good many himself. Notwithstanding
his long public life, he always remem-
bered q yarn that he carried from his
school days.
One year when the district schools
opened in his town one Of the teachers
in making a record Of the ages Of her
pupils, as required by law, found that
one little girl, who came from 6 family
not noted for being especially bright,
was unable to say when her birthday
came.
So in order to complete her records
the teacher walked two miles to see the
girls mother one afternoon after
school. Asked If she could remember
just when her daughter was born, the
woman thought for some little time
and then, with a sort Of puzzled look,
said:
"Well, the gal was born in later time,
that's sure, but l can't member wheth-
er they was a-plantin' on 'em or a-dig-
GIN on 'em. '-Boston Herald.

LUMBER JACKS UNIQUE FAD.

Men from the Woods Wear Tintypes
in Gilt Frames on Their Coats.
What does lumber jack want Of a
little round tintype Of himself in q
near-gilt frame to pin on his coat?
What does an elephant want Of q mill
tary hair brush? In the latter case
he doesn't, but in the former he thinks
he does. Ask the man who Is taking
the tintypes down on Bridge square
If you want to-he doesn't know. 1t
isn't exactly wise to ask the lumber
jacks, for they aren't feeling any too
meek and mild these days, says the
Minneapolis Journal.
When you have $175 or 5000 to spend
in two weeks and theaters and clothes
and other things are not for you, when
you are SO constituted that you
wouldn't think Of wandering above
Washington avenue-well, maybe that
answers the question of what the lum-
Der jack wants with a tintype of him
self to pin on his coat. Whether they
want them Or not, they are buying
them.
1t seems to be part Of this years
initiation ritual into the ranks of the
lumber jacks to wear a tintype in a
near-git frame pinned on your coat. In
this case the spruce young man with
the machine, which looks like a pocket
edition telescope, and in which the pic
lures are turned out, Is the initiator,
and for his services the unorganized
order Of lumber jacks pays him on an
average Of 20 cents minute. For
fashion is fashion, even among lumber
jacks, and with tintypes-gIlt frame
and all coming at 10 cents each-they
line up and get through with it as fast
as possible.
But even admitting that they want
tintypes In gilt frames, what reason
they have for holding their hands In
front Of their faces while the pictures
are taken has got even the policemen
on the beat puzzled.

A Capricious Appetite.

Its awful trying this catering to q
sick girl" Mrs. Douglas confessed to
the friendly visitor who had called to
inquire for Amy.
II believe this convalescent business
comes harder on me than her real sick
ness" continued Mrs. Douglas, with a
deep sigh. I'm that put to it to get
something that she'll eat with relish
I get all riled up sometimes trying to
tempt her."
The visitor murmureG something
sympathetic, and thus encouraged, Mrs
Douglas went on.
"Only yesterday" she said, II got her
a pork chop and five cents worth of
marshmallows for her dinner, and II

"And that style will go out before

as it can be and it wouldn't be at all

as far as being noticed is concerned no.

What does it matter?''
Don't talk that way" pleaded the
man. ''You know I want you to have
what you want and l don't grudge the
expense. But you say yourself that I'm
right"
Eyes, you're perfectly right" said
his wife. But l want the hat!

man, wisely, "you certainly will have

Unless things change, and very radi-
cally, the old heartrending cry, ooh,
save us from our friends !" will have
to be amended so as to read, "Oh, save
us from those who love u.s." At first
blush this may seem like nonsense, but
just think: Almost every morning we
read of some young man killing some
young woman because he loves her so.
It has got to the point in some parts
Of the country where the fathers of
marriageable young women will not
permit the young men who love them
to enter the house until they are
searched for concealed weapons How
ever, there has always been more or
less Of this, so that 1t will not be
worth while to worry over it. But we
should take some cognizance of the
fact that the trouble Is not confined al
together to young lovers, nor does it
always result in shooting, but some
times manifests itself in ways which
are equally disagreeable and more hui
initiating. Take, for instance, the man
who was so fond of woman that when
his admiration was at its height, when
he was gazing at her with rapt en-
thrallment, Just at the very moment
when he seemed to be given complete
~ up to alteration Of the one woman he
loved, he gave her black eye, simply
because she smiled when another man
was looking. Now, this Is not good So
cial form. It Is as bad almost as that
observed by the women who loved her
husband so intensely as he was that
when he had his hair cut by the bar
Der she refused to allow him to enter
his home, and has commenced suit
against him for divorce. She loved
him, alas, not wisely but too WELL But
the worst example Of all Is the case of
another husband. He was so devoted
to his wife that he was always anxious
about the condition Of her health. If
she looked trifle pale in. the morning
he would go to his work with heavy
heart and be unhappy all day. He was
constantly feeling her pulse and look
ing at her tongue. Such a solicitous
husband nobody ever did see, and the
neighbours wives all used to point him
out to their husbands as a husband to
pattern after. The other day he came
home and thought that she was look
ing rather poorly. She protested that
she never had felt better in her life.
He denied this emphatically, went
down to the drug store, bought some
pills which he believed would do her
good, and, returning, attempted to force
her to take them. She resisted, and 80
fearful was he that she should be sick
and suffer pain that he lost his temper
and threw her down fight of stairs.
1t is a wonder that she escaped with
only slight injuries. Now, when those
who love us and are anxious about us,
and solicitous with regard to us, and
admire us, and would do anything for
us, do these things to us, what are we
to expect from those who do not care
anything about US? Really, it is hard
to say.

In the commercial treaty recently
made between Canada and France, the
Dominion for the first time negotiated
directly with a foreign power through
its own officials without the interven-
tion of British diplomats. Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, the Canadian prime minister,
went himself to Paris and arranged the
terms Of the treaty. Although Of CO rse
the treaty Is actually concluded by the
British government, yet the fact that
the home government practically al
lowed the colonial authority to make
the arrangement Independently marks
an important advance in the power Of
the Canadian government.

Crab Ha. 100000 joints.

The crab known as the scale-tailed
apus was believed to have become ex-
tinct In Great Britain SO years ago,
the last recorded specimens being taken
In the ponds on Hampstead Heath. But
now it has turned up again in some
numbers in two ponds on Preston
Merse, near Southwick, in kirkcud-
bridgeshire. About two and a half
inches long, the apus bears very strik-
ing likeness to that remarkable crea-
ture, the king crab, and this because

pace, while, as in the king crab, it
swims on its back. In the great num-
Der of its legs the scale tailed apus has
few rivals, while In the number of the
joints which these share between them
no other creature can compare. The
naturalist Schaffer once essayed the
task Of counting them and made the
magnificent total of 1,S02, 6O4. Latrelle
put down the number at a round 1000

When river commerce was developed

When river commerce was developed
by private capital the railways protect
ed their business by methods which did
not commend themselves at all. They
will be at a disadvantage In competi-
ton with the nations investment, and
there will be born a new sectional
question in the rivalry between the
East and the Middle West. But there
Is no possibility Of standing still. Ri
valry among ourselves should not OBJ
scure the fact that this improvement is
one means of keeping for ourselves the
trade within our sphere" which other
wise is offered for competition to Eu-
rope and even to Japan. The West,
which long has been restless under i'm
provement Of our harbors, may easily
think 1t has Il fair case for asking the
development Of its river ways.

. A New Trade.

In New York school a teacher was
asking the children what trades their
fathers followed; but one little girl at
first refused to tell. Come, Rosie, you
must TELL" said the teacher.

said Rosie

Eyes, ma'am. A worm-eater In an

The puzzled teacher made a journey
to Rosie's home, and found it was all
true. Her fathers work was boring
life-like worm-holes In imitation an
tique furniture, to make it look gem.
