Hats as Aids to Matrimony.

'The wise woman is as careful about
the choice of hat as she is about the
choice Of husband" The celebrated
author who uttered this dictum may
have exaggerated little, but not
much. And allow me, q woman, to
tell you solemn men whom l see sneer-
ing at the "frivolity" Of my sex that
often the cleverest among you chooses
a wife for no better reason than that
the woman thus selected has herself
chosen becoming hat!-Mme. G. De
Broutelles in Grand Magazine.

THE LEGISLATURE.

The Legislature which ad
journed Friday will go down in
the history of the state as the
mediocre assembly, This is
no reflection on it's personnel
though it is true few of the
members manifested excessive
brilliancy--but has reference
rather to the results of the
sixty days session.
Not a single piece of con-
struCtive Legislation was enact
ed and few if any of the ex-
travagant promises of the So
called platforms promulgated
by the state central committees
last fall were fulfilled. The
members spent the greater part
of the time playing politics.
The insurgents had a majority
in the house and were deter
mined that stalwartism should
be punished at every OppOrtuni-
ty. This lead to the defeat of
the meritoriOus Legislation
which might otherwise have
D2SSpd The St11Wart senate
played the same game, though
with less venom than character
ized the insur"ent program.
The result is but natural
consequence of the faCtiOnaliSm
which is disrupting the repub-
liCan party in the state and
throwing the government into
the hands of democracy. The
Legislators wouldn't trust any
one but the members of their
own faction-and occasionally
some fellow made up his mind
that his pals were crooked.
With this state of affairs exist
ing it is not to be wondered at
that the eleventh Legislative
assembly did not accomplish
more and better results.

A rainfall of nearly four inches
in two hours, three inches of the to-
tai falling in an hour, Is unprece-
dented, and unlikely to occur with
any great frequency. At the same
time, the drainage Of the city, par
ticularly of the down town district
which is level and liable to overflow
in a storm such as that of Monday
night, should be made sufficient to
protect property and to carry on sur
plus water. There is a considerable
watershed north and northeast of the
city whose drainage is through the
city and to the flats below, on its way
to the river. The residence portion
of the city is not so much concerned,
as most of it is high and dry, and dis
charges it's surplus through the pr1n-
cipal business center of the city. 1t
has been a great many years since
any considerable damage and incon-
venience has been suffered by busi-
ness men. 1t may be a great many
years before there will be another
such rainfall as that of this week.
At the same time, the city should
be protected against this possibility
and there should be drainage sur
vey of the lower part of the city with
a plan for the carrying off of the
surplus water With such a volume
of water as fell in the recent storm,
no sewer of ordinary size would car
ry off the water. 1t is probably feas-
ible to provide some means of sur
face drainage for use in case OF such
emergencies as that of this week.
The matter is one worthy the atten-
ton of the city commission and the
city engineer.

The Marquis Of Worcester while Inn
prisoned in the Tower Of London in
1856 invented and constructed per-
feet steam engine and had 1t publicly
exhibited the same year at Vaurhall
In successful operation. Thirty-four
years later, in $780, Dennis Papin add
ed the piston to the marquis discovery.
In 1893 Captain Savary devised and
built steam engine different In many
details from those made by Worcester
and Papin, and in 1905 Newcomb, Cav
ley and Savary constructed their cele-
brated atmospheric engine, which was
complete In every detail. The above
array Of historical facts notwithstand-
ing, James Watt, who was not born
until sixty years after these great men
had given the steam engine to the
world, enjoys the distinction Of being
the veritable inventor, originator and
author of the most useful contrivance
Of the present day. Fulton, who lived
and worked in the early part Of the
nineteenth century, Is given the credit
Of being the man who demonstrated
that steam could be applied to naviga-
tion-this, too, in fsce Of the well
known historical fact that De Gary

Experiences Of Emperor Napoleon |. at
Masked Ball.
The Emperor Napoleon I. once an
nounced to his valet that he intended
on a certain evening going to ball at
the Italian embassy and requested
that complete costumes should be sent
in advance. The valet, Constant,
obeyed and attended his imperious mas
ter and commenced to dress him In q
manner which might, had the emperor
followed the Wallets advice. have de-
fed detection. Constant had some
trouble with Napoleon over one or tive
minor matters, but when it came to
changing his top boots for shoes the
emperor resolutely refused.
Going into the ballroom, Napoleon at
once relapsed into his accustomed at
titude and, wishing to engage lady
in conversation, approached her with
his hands behind his back. To his
first question she prefaced her reply
with ''sire." Turning away abruptly,
he went back to his room and said:
"You were right. Constant. I have
been recognized. Give me another cos.
tune and shoes this time"
The valet redressed his master and
warned him to keep his hands at his
side. No sooner had he entered the
room the second time than once more
he relapsed into his natural attitude.
This time q lady addressed him, "Sire.
you are recognized" Once more the
emperor left the room In disgust.
Returning to his room, Napoleon
was disguised for the third time. His
toilet complete, he went back to the
ballroom, which he entered as If 1t
were a barrack room, pushing and
staggering. He was at once detected,
and some one whispered to him,
"Your majesty is recognized" An
other disappointment and another
change, still with the same result, and
in the end the emperor left the en-
bassy CONVINCED that it was impossi.
bic to conceal his identity.
