Fall Hats Are Monsters.

One OF the never-failing signs
that the summer is passing is the
appearance of the fall clothing,
dry goods and millinery in the
show windows of local stores.
The millinery styles in particular
put the summer behind them.
There's always a plentifully dis
tinguished difference between sum
mer and winter millinery anyhow,
and the new hats being shown by
Miss Hendricks, which reflect the
last word in headgear fashion, are
very evidently not designed for
hot weather wear. In size the hats
run to greater extreme than ever
before, and that is saying good
deal. However they are undeni-
ably handsome and our eyes will
no doubt soon become accustomed
to their vastness. We've been
thinking for several seasons the
women folks hats had atlast reach
ed their limit in size, but they always
come right back with something
bigger. and we always get used to
it. If they are bigger this fall
than ever before they are also
handsomer than for many seasons
past.

curiosities OF Superstition.

When Egypt was In the height OF
her power. when she was most highly
civilized and delighted In being called
the mistress Of the land and sea. her
people worshiped black bull There
was some discrimination. however.
even In this form OF worship. Ia order
to be an object OF mad alteration IL was
necessary that the bull calf be born
with circular white spot In the e.
act center OF his forehead. and the
advent Of such a creature In any herd
was the signal Of wild demonstrations
from the Mediterranean 20 the border
OF the Lybian desert Even as late as
the time OF Cleopatra. star eyed god.
dess. glorious sorceress OF the Nile.
such animals were shod with gold aud
had their horns tipped with the same
metal Herodotus tells OF a man who
died with grief because he sold a COW
that soon after became the mother Of a
black bull calf marked with the sacred
white circle In his forehead.

MODERN CHAIRS.

Es ,lution Of Our Seats With Arms and
High Backs.
Chairs with high backs and arms,
after coming into general use with the
renaissance. began TO be ornamented
with an amount of carving aud gliding
that has hardly since been equaled.
which came naturally from the artistic
tastes OF the period Their size. form
and the amount Of decoration lavlshed
on them indicated the rank. fortune.
authority or social position OF their
possessors. Bishops and abbots had
seats corresponding with their dignity.
while those below them sat on stools
or benches. Only the king ard queen
and persons OF high rank could be
seated on chairs with arms and backs
In the time OF Catherine de Medici
and her sons. courtiers and favorites
sat about them on stools called tabo
rets.
This manner OF expressing difference
Of rank prevailed under Louis XIV
and his successors down 20 the French
revolution. To the chairs elaborately
carved succeeded the armchair. so cali
ed In these times. which. with unim-
portant variations. is much the same
as In the reign OF Louis XIV. speci-

LINCOLN TRIED IT.

Punishment.
On one OF Mr.. Lincoln's excursions

Hartford In 1868 his attention was d.
rected 10 n narrow door bound with
iron. the use OF which he was anxious
10 learn.
What Is thisy' he asked.
"Oh. that n the sweatbox." was the
reply. 1t Is used for refractory and
insubordinate seamen. A man In there
Is subjected TO steam heat and has very
little ventilation. II generally brings
him to terms very quickly"
President Lincoln's curiosity was
aroused This he said 20 himself.

American seamen are probably sub
jected every year Let me try II for
myself and see what II really is"
Taking OF his hat. for be was sever

be little more than three feet In length
or width. lie gave orders that NJ
signal from himself the door shes;.d
be immediately opened II was then
closed and the steam turned on.
He had been inside hardly three min
utes before the signal was given. Pres
ident Lincoln had experienced enough
OF what WIS then regarded as neces-
sary punishment for American seamen.
There was very little ventilation. and
the short exposure 10 the hot and hu
mid air had almost suffocated him.
Turning 20 Secretary welles OF the
navy department. the president ordered
that no such Enclosure as the sweatbox
should ever after be allowed on any
vessel flying the american dag
II was not an hour after this order
had been given before every sailor on
every ship In Hampton Roads had
heard of II. The effect was most ~
markahe on the older sailors many
OF whom had themselves experienced
the punishment of the sweatbox. Some
Of them went from JOY.
But the good results OF this act OF
President Lincoln were not confined 20
the American navy. Great Britain.

countries heard that the sweatbox had
