Prof Frazer observes that the exist

that certain kings Of Dahome habit

by this means to serve some magical
purpose. At any rate, they cannot be

lery fire of jokesmiths. the rage of
husbands and lovers and the force of
the elements
Women like the sombreroesque eff

all there is to be said about 1t. But
the national milliners, who have just
closed weeks convention, pro-
nounced death sentence upon the
Merry Widow and all other femi-
nine hats of her breed.
Enters now the "F'renzied Finance"
the Russian Tonk, the Maude Muller,
the peanut and the flower-pot brigade.
All of them are much smaller than the
Merry Widow but by that peculiar
brand of reasoning known only to mill
liners, the price is higher. Consequent
ly, the women will have to have them.
Some of the new effects displayed at
the convention are startling. The shake
worn by Servian and Albanian officers
has been closely copied. 1t is made of
felt or straw and thickly studded with
large black beads or medalllons. one
side is adorned with a tassel and a
whisl broom of very truculent bristles
completes the top. The women who
wear this hat must dress their hair
VERY close to the head with a sort of
fluffy dado running entirely around
ot~o -y,a which
the hat perches.

The Maude Muller resembles gen.
erous soup tureen turned upside down.

the sides are all the flowers a rareblt
fiend could dream Of, piled on with

BUSINESS AT LEADING POINTS.
Retail Trade Unusually Dull and Job

Chicago, Feb. S-Dullness of retail
trade is somewhat more pronounced
than usual at this season, and d1str1-

urgency in the demand for some va

provide for immediate requirements
and eastern manufacturers are very
busy, Future orders in most lines are
still placed with great caution. but
confidence in the future is stronger,
the Improvement in the mercantile sit
uation being reflected in the prellnlh-
airy statement of numerical defaul1s

pected large decrease in comparison
with a year ago. The betterment re-
flected in the returns of the closing
months of last year is steadily main

prices obtainable for farm products,
marketings fall short of expectations

Attitude In Face Of Death.

A British medical man thus tells his
experience of how men and women
face death: Tell the man Of higher
type and greater intelligence, he says,
that he is facing death, and he begins
to fight, demands consultation, talks
about going to specialists and fights
grimly to the finish. Tell a woman
the same facts, and she lies back to
await her fate All women are fatal
lists. On the other hand tell man
that he has one chance in thousand
to recover If he will undergo an op-
Grafton, and he will trust to his own
strength and endurance rather than
undergo the knife. The woman will
choose the thousandth chance, and
submit to the operation with astound-
ing calmness.

did not pursue the discussion: his

bly, had a purpose, and that purpose
was never argument. He lay back on
the big leather cushions of the lounge,
his long, lean fingers drumming on the
table beside him and an odd smile
playing about the corners of his
mouth; his next speech dived into
new waters. He said: Have those
men from New York got Atkins, yet?'

Republicans who know what the

who fear its political effect, have been
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of cutting
the ground from under the democratic
feet by stealing the inheritance tax

proposal, and seems to be a good deal
stronger with public men generally

lieves in the efficacy and the practical
