HAiRPlNS AND THEIR USES.
Many Popular Services Performed by
 Little instrument.

It Is recorded that Zola, on being asked what impressed him most when in England replied: .'The sight of so many hairpins strewn along the paths. He probably, with most people, did not realize to what varied and service able uses this little article is put. It is an excellent substitute for paper cutter; it will pierce a cigar or clean a pipe; as a buttonhook, either for boots or gloves, it is invaluable; in extremities it has served as tooth pick, horrible as this may seem; while, if a sufficient number are used, it supplies the place of hatpin.
 There is another popular service also that it performs. Recently at smart hotel a young lady took up novel, saying to the man who was carrying it around: How far have you got with this story?' As she spoke she opened the book with that quick movement which inevitably be- trays the bookmarker, then putting 1t down with a laugh, added: "Oh, 1 was looking for the hairpin which marked the place you had reached, but or course you don't use hairpins.

TRANSFERS AS WEDDING FEE.
Peculiar EmoIument Offered to City
 Pastor.

The pastor of a little Lutheran church up town was called upon the other day to perform hurried we'd ding ceremony, says the New York Press. AS the couple left the bride groom thrust fat envelope into the clergymans hands. The grateful smile that immediately overspread the clergyman's face gave place to a look of chagrin when later the en- velope was found to contain roll of green street car transfers.
 Why don't you have a regular fee, say two or three dollars, and collect it in advance?" asked friend to whom he indignantly told the story.
 Because" explained the minister, "even though mean trick like this is sometimes played on me, I come out better in the long run by leaving it to the others generosity. My peo- pie being mostly poor, they generally give me one or two dollars; but an occasional $10 or s20 pulls up the average And once, the year of the Pan-American fair, an actor who came in here to be married, said he could give me nothing but pass to Buffalo and the fair. 1 gladly accepted, and that is the only outing my wife and I have had for years"

Iono Spell of Bad Weather.

Two ladies who had not seen each other for years recently met in the street. They recognized each other after a time, and their recognition was cordial.

He Knew.

There is a well-known federal of- ficial at Washington whose family stoutly maintain that he is absolutely color blind, a contention as stoutly yefuted by the official himself.
 On one occasion at table his wife remarked a new tie her husband was wearing. 'I'll wager you don't know what color the tie is,'' she teasingly suggested.
 "It's blue," said the husband.
 Right! But how on earth did you know?"
 Well" said the husband, with the same assurance, when l bought 1t yesterday told the clerk that if he didn't give me blue, I'd throw him out of the window. w.'-Harper's Weekly.

In New York, returning to Washing

Late last night at the end OF their
conference, 1t was announced that II
the postoffice department should
refuse to issue fraud order the as
sociation will avail itself of a re-
course which it has in the courts.
Just what this course is none of the
gentlemen would say. 1t is said they
have additional evidence to show
that the methods of the New YORK
Exchange constitutes a fraud.
Secretary Cheatham said the asso-

This "unwritten law" fetish is be-

interpretations of it, as there are in
dividuals desiring to avail themselv-

other man, whose life has been as
bad as those against whom they in
woke the unwritten law, to call it
into use. Thaw had run the gamut
of worldly pleasure and in doing so
it is said the virtue of few were
left untainted. if he could get his
millionaire's claws upon them. But
the public does not think of the many
cases wherein the "unwritten law

him. We think that Thaw has nc
right or title to invoke that law

There can be no real work done
upon the streets of any city or town
without all the citizens join with
the authorities in performing the
work. When the public is apathetlc
and don't care. then all work is use
less. When the public joins hands
in the work as they did in San Fran
cisco, then the work becomes easy.
II householders will for instance
clean up the alleys. which they have
made the dumping ground for their
refuse during the winter, one-half the
work of cleaning the city would then
be accomplished. But if they wait
for the city, with the small approp-
ration for such work, to clean that
which they have been the cause, it
is a driving uphill job to secure
cleanliness in the city.
