ReguIating the Size Of Women,s HAD.

Regulating the Size OF Women's Hats
A London paper has been trying to
find out from mlliners. hairdressers
and women who frequent matinees
why the gigantic matinee hat still
continues to be worn in spite of all
protests, and has found the reasons
to be many and weighty. In the first
place, the papers representative was
Informed, a woman does not like to
have hat for which she may have
paid twenty guineas to be flung about
In a public dressing room. In the
next place, she cannot go to a matt
nee without a hat. She lunches in
her hat, her hair must be dressed to
suit the hat, and she is probably go
ing out to tea in the hat after the
matinee is over. She has no time to
wait her turn in the tiny dressing
room to find her hat, or for her turn
at the mirror to restore her coiffue,
which is disarranged by the removal
OF the hat. Many women, it was
stated, have ceased to attend matinees
because they do not care to run the
risk of being asked to remove their
hats.
If, as stated by prominent American
women, the Church attempts to adopt
the custom of theater patrons by re-
moving their hats, the churches will
be practically empty. especially at
morning services, when a Woman's
couture is arranged for the day. If
women attended church in the even
ings dressed as they do for the thea
ter there might be an excuse for re-
moving the hat, but not otherwise

Why Men Hate to Buy Umbrellas.

Why is that a decent citizen has
to get soaked several times before he
buys an umbrella? Why is it? He
will turn up his coat collar, dodge i'm
and out of doorways, and stick to the
dry side like a fly to syrup and allow
his new summer straw to be ruined
by rain before he begins to feel the
need Of an umbrella. 1t is not due
TO a desire to economic. The same
man will spend just as much on a.
two-pound box of candy for his best
girl. He is eXtravagant in everything
else; he wines and dimes. and pays his;
bills like a dead game sport, but when
it comes to buying an umbrella you
have to lead him up to il and almost
give il to him"
The answer to this is not difficult
The average man has about as much,
trouble in trying to take care Of an
umbrella as he would in trying to
keep a white elephant Like the fool
and his money, he soon parts with his
umbrella, or someone parts him from
it.-New Orleans Times-DemocralN

FARMERS TO MAKE
OWN FERTILIZER
FARMERS PREPARING TO Or
CAME COMPANY AND TO DO
BATTLE WITH THE TRUST.

r c H NJ On D, v A-Special.-
The first meeting of the Virginia
farmers, who purpose making a fight
on the fertilizer trust will be held
here during the State Fair in October.
Plans have been laid by which the
farmers will organize a cooperative
mandatory, which will furnish fer
ulizer at cost to stockholders for cash.
Looking towards this end, the con-
Germ will begin its work with a capt.
taliZation of not less than 100000.
Thirty Per Cent. Too High.
1t is declared by those interested in
the scheme that the price of COM
mercial fertilizer is at least 80 per
cent. higher than the normal point.
Assistant Attorney General w. r.
Bibb is much interested in the plan
and has issued a circular letter in
viting all those who wish to be pres
ent at the meeting in October, either
in person or by proxy, to register
their names with his firm, Bibb &
Bibb, at Louisa. No one will be bound
until the general subscription at the
meeting, but it is desired to know
how many farmers approve of the
plan.
Captain Bibb intends to lay the
proposition before the Board Of Su-
pervisors of every county in the State,
with the request that the board or
some representative get up a club of
subscribers and appoint one or more
to be present at the organization
meeting.
Use Of convict labor in the grind
ing of agricultural lime is one of the
things contemplated by the pro-
moters, lime being regarded as a spe-
cies Of fertilizer.
1t will be recalled that the propo-
sition was before the Legislature at
it's last session, at the request of the
State Farmers Institute, to estab lish
quarries and use convicts in making
lime, to be supplied to the farmers of
Virginia at cost. The bill carrying this
plan passed the House, but failed in
the Senate.

Fishing with Cormorante

ON the banks OF the River va we
saw many Chinese cormorant fishers
with their birds, which are very tame
and intelligent. When fishing a piece
OF grass is first tied round their
throats, to prevent them from swal-
lowing the fish, and they are after
wards turned into the water. The
small fish they can easily manage to
bring back to the boat, but when they
find large specimen il sometime s

which sometimes reaches a length Of
ten to twelve feet. and whose flesh
is much appreciated by the Chinese.

DYNAMITE OPERA HOUSE.

BURLINGTON, IA Special
The Grand Opera House of this city
was partly wrecked by a dynamite
explosion early this morning, much
OF the stage being blown up, walls
and ceiling wrecked and every win
dow in the building shattered.
The discovery of pieces of burned

weeks ago by John Cort, the indie

Natural and SUPERNATURAL.

The strict meaning of the word "sp
pernatural" is lover" or above" the
natural; but where the natural ends
and the supernatural begins is q mat.
ter that is still in the courts. The
wisest minds Of the race have been
debating the question for ten thou.
sand years or more, and the subject
is still far from being settled. The
best definition of nature known to us
is to be found in John Stuart Mills
Three Essays on Religion" and is
as follows: Mature is a collective
name for all facts, actual and posi-.
BILE; or name for the Mode, partly
known to us and partly unknown, In
which all things take place" II will
be observed from this definition that
in Mills opinion nature is all, the So
called supernatural being but the "un.
known" side of the natural.

Franz Halls, the great Dutch painter
who died IN 1866, belonged to the
family. Hundreds of years before MS
day the family was flourishing and
away back in the time Of Richard l.
of England its surname was de AIS
de Alse and de Alesa. 1t has been
argued from the prefix de" that tne
family was Of Norman origin; out
probably the prefix is simply one OF
the many examples Of Norman infiu'
ence on English names. The name
Halls is of Danish or Saxon Derivation
It means, in Danish. Icelandic, Gothic'
Dutch and Old Tristan, to embrace, or
10 fall on the neck. and as a noun II
means neck. 1t was probably applied
to the Halsey family because the ma
nor of Lanesley, where they nrst
lived. was on q neck of land.
In 1863, when the parish records be-
gin in the old Norman town OF
Gaddesden, Hertfordshire, the Hal
seys were living, as tenants OF the
monastery there, in the parsonage
and in the reign of Henry Vlll'' on
the dissolution Of the monasteries, the
king granted Gaddesden parsonage to
the Halsey family. It is now In the

In 1886 the name Of Halsey appears
in Boston, but as It Is not again
