FREAK FASHIONS.

Oh! the men have so many freak
fashions. How shall ever name them,.
much less describe them? u M
To begin with are the curled mus
taches sticking about two inches to
each side of the face. There they
stand twisting on that mustache every
chance they get. ~
r. Talk about /. revolutionizing the
world but it surely looks like it now.
The girls are beginning to bob their
hair and don't you worry, the men will
soon be wearing wigs and perhaps
switches, too. Who can tell?
The men are always criticising the
dress of the ladies, but the ladies have
sense enough not to wear such tight
fitting hats that they become bald.
When some of the men get on
swell striped suit, a many-colored
necktie that looks like snake or a
frog, an imitation diamond pin in it,
a cigarette or coffin-nail as it is gen
orally called, curled hair, and a tight
fitting plug hat they think they are
the only fellows noticed, but they are
badly mistaken. :,
Of course this does not apply to all
men. Some have sense enough to see
that the above described fellow is the
laughing stock Of the community and
therefore do not follow the latest
freak fashions.

BOILING WATER.
It Is Not Always Hot and Sometimes
May Be Barely Heated.

It Is Not Always Hot and Sometimes
May Be Barely Heated.
If you scald yourself with the tea
kettle you are apt to think that boiling
water is pretty hot proposition. But
boiling water is not always very hot
water, and this is the way it happens
When water boils ordinarily it is be-
cause great heat has separated the tiny
particles of the water, forcing upward
and outward in lively bubbles the air
which is contained in them. This is
done in spite of the downward pres
sure of the atmosphere. After the wa
ter has become hot enough to boil it
can get no hotter, because the air eS
capes as fast as it is sufficiently heated
to do SO,
There are places on the earth where
the pressure Of the atmosphere upon
the water is SO slight that it requires
but little heat to push apart the par
ticles and set free the air bubbles
which are confined in the water, so 1t
begins to boil before it becomes very
hot. It ought hardly to be called cold
water, perhaps. but it is certainly far
from being as hot as ordinarily boil
ing water. This state Of things is
found on all high mountain tops, as the
atmosphere grows weaker and its pres
sure less as one ascends.
A man travelling at a great elevation
in the Andes mountains put some po-
tatoes in pot Of water over hot fire
The water began to boil almost i'm
mediately, but the potatoes did not
cook. All the afternoon and all the
night the water dubbed and boiled, but
still the potatoes were not cooked The
boiling water was not hot enough.

JACKSON'S INAUGURATION.
UnweIcomed by Adams, but the People
Made Things Pretty Lively.

UnWeicomed by Adams, but the People
Made Things Pretty Lively.
1t was on Feb. IL, the day the elec-
toral votes were counted. that jackson
arrived in Washington and took up his
residence at Gadsby's. an inn famous
in stage coaching days. He declined
to call upon President Adams, imply
ing that he could not bring himself to
touch the hand of a man who had at
tanned Office through unworthy means.
He busted himself with the Office seek
ers, who rushed to Washington in in
credible numbers, likewise avoiding
Adams to flock around the power that
was to be. Adams, resenting this
breach of etiquette, took no official or
social notice Of his successor and left
the city on the Sd of March, neither
be nor any member of his cabinet re-
naming to welcome Jackson to office
On the morning of March those
fortunate to secure a commanding po-
sition on Capitol hill looked down upon
Pennsylvania avenue alive with carts
and carriages full of women and chill
dren, their male escorts walking be-
side them. At last a small company
of men was seen marching compactly
through this crowd up the middle of
the avenue one tall figure holding his
hat, while the wind played through his
willful gray locks. There was some
thing military in the sight, something
most unmilitary in the rabble of peo-
pie shouting themselves hoarse in ac-
claim of the spare, erect figure. 1t
was an expression Of popular will and
popular trust that gripped the heart
and sent an ache to the threats even of
those who feared the Tennessee bar
RAM and his host
After taking the oath of Office Jack
son returned to the White House on
horseback, followed Unfortunately
by white and black. rich and poor,
men, women and children, who swarm
ed over the lawn and through the
rooms of the executive mansion, where
no police provision had been made for
such an onslaught. The courageous
old warrior was forced that day to do
what he seldom did. He retreated
and sought refuge in his old quarters
at Gadsby's. Current rumor had it
that a quantity of china and cut glass
to the value of several thousand dol
lars was broken in an attempt to get
refreshments to the multitude, and
finally great tubs Of punch were car
ried out in front Of the house, but that
"hogsheads would not have been
enough. Helen Nicolay in Century.

The show that delights both the
old and the young. that never grows
old and is waited for with a degree
of joyful expectancy, is the Ministries

that the Tom Powell Peerless Min

commentator by the press, pulpit
and public in all the cities where the
