Tipping the Hat at Harvard.

Everybody tips bis hat at Harvard
these days. The custom has been
growing gradually for several years,
and it Is now In full bloom. Every
student of the university-and there are
over 5000 Of them-dps his hat to
President Lowell when he meets him
on the street or in the yard, and the
chief executive of Harvard returns
the silent greeting in like manner. The
students universally recognize Dean
LIE Baron Russell Briggs and Dean
Byron s. Hurlbutt and several other
widely known members of the Harvard
faculty by tipping the hat Students
In the courses at the college are ex-
pe.ted to tip their hats to the pro-
fessors or assistant professors wheth-
er they know them personally or not.

FASCINATING SLEEVES

Many fascinating designs are shown
for the new sleeves. 1t Is necessary,
Of course. for the sleeves to conform
strictly to the rest Of the costume in

tive In itself may not be at all suitable

There are sleeves which can be substi-
tuted for those which are part of de-
sign with the effect Of improving it
and adding also to the attractiveness Of
the wearer. -..-.a
There is most attractive sleeve
which is appropriate for simple style
Of gown with which Robespierre col
lar is worn. This sleeve comes just be-
low the elbow. II IL draped slightly,
widens out a little toward the elbow
and is finished with turned back cuff,
shallow and little naring, which re-
lates 1t beautifully to the Robespierre
collar. so that 1t is therefore quite as
suitable for such gown as the long,
tight sleeve which has been worn with
II for some time. ~
Another interesting sleeve which has
yoke shoulder has the material laid
In double box plat on the outer side
Of the arm. the plated part of the
sleeve being set under the extended
yoke. Below the elbow the fullness Of
the sleeve is taken In to long, tight
cuff. which is buttoned down on the
outside, but the beauty Of the sleeve
depends to large extent on the adr&t
ness with which the cloth is msnipu-
lated when 1t Is thus narrowed in to
the cuff. In the original model the ma
terial is draped most gracefully at this
point, so that there is no clumsiness.
A rather deep plsited frill of mousse
line Is used as finish to this sleeve,

half dozen larger buildings and two

1t Is quite common practice to use
lifting magnets for handling furnace
pig iron Usually the pigs are stacked
horizontally, and not many Of them
can be lifted at time, because rela-
lively small number can be brought
into contact with the magnet Some
one has recently hit upon the idea of
stacking the pigs vertically, 50 that
the face of the magnet will touch
greater number of pigs. It has beer
found that by this method the lifting
capacity of magnet which heretofore
was able to raise only 1000 pounds Of
pig Iron was increased to 20O0 pounds.

A State Institution i'm Bad Hands.

The public, or al least those who
have children at the State Normal,
are not 50 much concerned about
whether the epidemic Of fever at
that place originated from improper
water or unhealthy living quarters
and unWhOleSOme food. 1t is sutli-
Client to know that the management
Of this State institution has fallen
in bad hands and it is high time for
a change Journal.
With some very rare exceptions,
the newspapers throughout the
State have been mild and consider
ale in their comments over the de-
plOrable health conditions at the
state Normal School at NatchitO-
ches, which was closed peremptor-
lily by DR.. Oscar Bowling, the head
of the State Board of Health.
The investigation by DR.. Bowling
has developed a mismanagement
which is criminal.
If the head of this institution was
or is wanting in the sense of real
izing that the unsanitary conditions
prevalent in and about the Normal
were a menace to the health and
the welfare of the attendants of this
school, he should be removed.
If he be possessed of the knowl-
dge sufficient to realize that tina
Normal was menaced by the unsani-
tary conditions which have been
ameliorated by DR.. Bowling, he
should be removed.
1t would seem that in the neg
lect of plain duty, the head of the
Normal has demonstrated his inca
pacity, and as stated by the Homer
Guardian Journal, lit is sufficient to
know that the management of this
institution has fallen into bad hands
and it is high time for a change"

In the consideration of a matter

laid aside and the responsibility for
neglect of duty should be fastened
