The Manners Of American Women.

either sex serving in so many of the

come before the address of so many
of their customers of both sexes.

TALL HATS FOR sAvAoes.
Striking Costumes Worn by SemiCiv
ilized Potentates on State Occasions.

The manner and occasion of wearing
the garments of civilization sometimes
chosen by savage chieftains and semi
civilized potentates have often proved
q source of mirth.
Perhaps the palm for unique com
bination still belongs to that stat
uesque Polynesian native who houoreo

consisting of postage stamps, abun
dantly and artistically applied in ele
CANT patterns over his entire person
Still other striking effects have beer
attained.
Robert P. Skinner who was sent
lately on a mission to Abyssnia, re
lates that, having presented an Amer
lean flag to Alto Paulos, hospitable
Official person, far removed from say
agery, he received this gracious ac
acknowledgement of the gift:
Il appreciate this more than any
thing you could give me. II is the
proudest decoration / could possibly
own / shall ask the emperor for the
right to accept It, as we cannot accept
anything of this sort without auihori
cation, and he will say yes Then
shall wear il about my shoulders
every feast day"
The tall hats which the Americans
wore at the court of Menelik evoked
much admiration, says the Youths
Companion, as indeed tall hats seem
always to do in lands unfamiliar with
their peculiar rigid dignity. One which
previous traveller had bestowed upon
provincial ruler OF the country had
been. they learned, so highly appre
ciated that it was at once sent to the
court jeweler and the brim encircled
with row of emeralds.
When, on breaking camp for tn,
last time, the party bestowed various
articles OF attire OH their faithful Abys
sinian servants, they found that eve.
pink pajamas were less thankfully (.
ceived than old hats. Mr.. Skim a
gave his own hat to Alto Pito, cIrei
muleteer and general utility man.
He knelt at once, before he could
be prevented" the embarrassed com,

donor on both feet. Then he drew his
snowy white chamma about him

sword and strobe forth, with the silk
hat on the back of his head, to resum,
the prosaic occupation of a railrouG

To eneo ouraae Thrift.

A New York man has just patented
a device for the encouragement OF
thrift. 1t consists Of toy savings
bank with a clock attachment. The
clock is set In the face OF the bank
and cannot be wound unless dime
Is dropped In the slot. As winding
causes the dime to fall into the vault
and the clock will run but "a hours
without rewindtng the contrivance Az.

"Drunk" IN French. :

The French have some interesting
SMILES of their own corresponding to
our drunk as a lord" or drunk as a
wheelbarrow." The most generally rec.
ognized one in the case of 'ivre,' the
less extreme and less vulgar word for
drunk is ivre CONNIE une soupe''-
''soupe" meaning the piece of bread
eaten with soup as well as the soup
itself, and "bouillon" coaked piece
of bread Offering natural simile for
saturation. When the less delicate
soul is used instead OF 'ivre." the
Frenchman may speak of being az
drunk as All ass, a cow. Swiss. or a
thrush. Tie allusion in the last case
is to the fondness OF thrushes for
grapes. which are said at vintage time

Asphalt Companies Should

COMPETITION IS DESIRED
Even Though the Residents
Petition for Brick Paving
A Large Number Of Side walks ar
to be Laid ana Sewer Construct ID
During Coming Summer.

At regular meeting of the
Board Of Public Service last MIG
the clerk was instructed to adver-
iise for bids for a large number of
sandstone sidewalks, sanitary Sc j.
crs, and for the paving Of Girard
avenue from Columbia street to
Bellefcntaine avenue. The bids
will be received and opened May
IA.
The bond and contract Of o..
j. Noble, who will lay about a
half mile of sidewalk and street
crossings, was approved by the
board.
Sanitary sewers Will be con-
stricted ON Pearl street, between
Bellcfontaine avenue and the cor
poration line; on Grand avenue,
between Church street and Indiana
avenue and on South Prospect
street, between Walnut street and
the corporation lime. The sidewalks
will be laid on the east side of
Flies avenue to the south line of lot
No. 1857; on the east side of Fies
avenne from Bennett street to the
south line OF lot Nc. 1857; Herr
street, east side, from Silver 10
Edwards street; the north side of
Walnut street from Main TO Pros
pcct street; both sides OF Main
street, from Walnut street to
Mckinley park; on the east side
OF Patterson street from, George to
Farming street; on the east side
of Cleveland avenue from Walnut
street to Superior street, and on
the west side OF Pearl street from
Bcllclontaine avenue TO Prospect
street.
In talking over the street cross.
ing proposition the members Of the
board decided that the crossings on
Davids street will be built first be-.
cause of the new ball park which
will take many persons out in that
section of the city. On the other
streets, ones who have been wait
ing longest for he walks will he
FIRST taken care of.
G:rard avenue will be paved with
5 iirif'ied brick block. The members
OF the board agreed with several
OF the councilmen that the asphalt
companies should be allowed to bid
on the street paving even where the
property owners wart brick laid.
In lnis way the competition will
oc stronger and even though they
finally decide TO use brick on the
streets, the property owners will
receive the benefit of the COMPETE
tion.
Clerk Fics told the members of
the board that only fifteen days
notice Is necessary for Sidewalk,
improvements and only five days
fer sidewalk repairs. In the past it
has been the custom to give thirty
days notice for improvements and
ten days notice for repairs.
The Board Of Health considered
time talking over the various i'm
provcments planned for the parks
of the city which have already been
mentioned in the Mirror. The
work is progressing nicely and by
warm weather all of the public
Fairgrounds will be in a very sat
iSfaciory condition.
The Boad Of Health considered
Il number of minor questions regard
me the sanitary condition of the
city. Five new cases OF measles
and one of ease of pneumonia were
reported by the health officer.

CEMETERY ASSOCIATION
Elect Officers and are Ready 10 Make
Deeds to the Lots Already
Sold

The committee appointed to look
after the cemetery matters, are glad
to report that this property is now
owned by the town and decided to the
Marion Cemetery Association, which
Is a corporation with the following
officers: H. X. Woods, president
Thos. H. Cochran, vice-president
Mrs. Cora =. Crider, treasurer; Miss
Nell Walker, secretary H. A. Haynes
j. F. Dodge. II. V. Stone and John
4. Moore, trustees.
After many unavoidable delays We
are at last prepared to make deeds to
the lots sold and parties purchasing
the lots can get their deed by calling
on the Secretary for same.
Our work at the cemetery was be-
gun the first Of June and those who
have been there since that time and
have noticed the changes and improv-
ments that have been made, are we'll
satisfied with the nature and character
of the work. Many lots still are un-
cared for and We would be glad if
each owner would call on US and help
in this matter. We want the whole
place to have a neat, uniform appear
ance, this We can not give it unless
every one helps. We are glad to say
that most all have responded cheer
fully and willingly TO our request for
SO. for each lot owned. We feel
sure that no one feels but that he has
gotten his moneys worth as to the
work done and being done. Go and
see for yourself.
There is great need of other work
to be done, but We will not be able
to do this year with the So. contrl-
button. We are arranging to have
some ice cream suppers through the
summer season, so as secure money
with which to gravel all the drives
and walks In the cemetery. This
will take a great deal of gravel and a
great many dollars. We are asking
hearty cooperation of all in this
work.
