"«* Thnjr May Be tl«>»d Upon as Ex­ ponents «r Character. . [New York Trilmne.] "Us the hat that makes the man, Mud Want of it the fellow. Not that the" en­ tire absence of hat is necessary to mark the fellow--that is indicative of the savage. It is want in the sense of a shortcoming in the lieadgear that makes a fellow. The lower a fellow falls in the social s^ale the more glaring do these shortcomings grow. Ashe climbs lip from fellowship to manhood the more does his head-thatching coincide with the standards of taste. This is shown even in the extremest case--that of the savage. The moment the dawn of civilization breaks upon him he breaks for a hat. Generally it is a bat­ tered specimen of the genius "stove­ pipe" that falls into his hands, and no better exponent of his first groping, tottering steps out of barbarism can be imagined than the utter incongruity of the big chief's appearance in a cast-off hat of a previous fashionable age. The negro in the rougher regions of the South betrays a similar condition cf im­ perfect development by the worn and well-ventilated slouch hat that has dropped down to him through many years and social layers. In the swamps he wears none, and his matted locks are like the coarse hair of the beast. An old and battered hat smacks of the gutter and the bar-room floor. It is not necessary to smell the breath and other bodily odors of the wreck who approaches one on the streets or to get within earshot of his supplicating whine. One glance at his hat and his whole history can be written. What character there is in a hat! How the Mexican's curious mixture of dash and laziness is portrayed in his sombrero! Of equal expanse but dia­ metrically opprsite effect is the quiet broad-brim of the Quaker. How much of the fierceness of war's grim-visaged front waa due to the spiked helmets of the soldiery. Stern immobility is written all over the huge bear-skins of the Imperial guard, while catlike agility and adaptability flutter from the saucy cap and tassle of the zonave. No surer insight into national character can be obtained than that afforded by the broad, flat, boardlike hat of the Chinaman, that has been the same for centuries, awkward, useless, and es­ sentially artificial, or by the high hat of the fashionable Norwegian, who be­ trays his shallow vanity by braving the rigors of his Arctic climate with the latest Paris style of headdress. Just why there is so much character in the hat is a little difficult to explain. It must be because the hat is largely independent of a man's surroundings and work, and is therefore an exponent of the man himself. There are occu­ pations and situations in which old dirty, ami torn clothes and muddy shoes seem unavoidable; but nothing less than a Presidential fishing excursion will warrant a respectable man in wear­ ing a dilapidated hat. The perfect hat, correct in oolor, shape, weight, and material, worn at just the right angle, caps the personal appearance of the self-poised, perfect man. Tipped for­ ward over the nose, it denotes the rowdy. Tilted backward, it tells of a harrying, reckless character. Slouched to one side, it betrays good-natured, underbred humanity trying to put its best foot foremost. Punched in at the top, it marks absent-mindedness. There is no article of apparel that so combines all the others into an effective unit for good or ill. There is none in which a little false taste can more completely ruin an otherwise faultless outfit. The Englishman's High' Hat. - -Tftbe tall silk stiff hat--the* English­ man does not call itastovepipe-rthatis an Americanism--is his fetish, his lit­ tle black household and society god. He cannot travel, cannot go anywhere, where he is to be on parade, without it. In the huge pile of luggage which came aboard the "Calais-Dovre" by the cord, as I pass id her from Calais to Dover-- from France to England--among a het­ erogeneous mass of battered and brown sole-leather trunks, portable bathing- tubs and huge wicker-work canvass- covered ladies' packing trunks, was to be seen a large mixture of the English­ men's inevitable liat-box. This pile of luggage, which was so suggestive in its lalielB and complexion, of travel in every land, from farther India to Si­ beria, could show hat boxes of all the popular types--hat boxes of tin, double- barreled hat boxes of leather, made for stowing snugly nests of hats, and hat boxes of heavy paper. To the observing American, with even half an eye, he who could travel from the equator to the pole in a slouched felt, they were a curious and suggest­ ive study, revealing to him at a glance that he was moving with a swarm of English travelers--travelers who would perhaps occasionally leave be­ hind their goloshes or umbrella," but never their high hat. In passing out of an ocean steamer, and into Liverpool, I was at once made aware by the sudden donning of tall hats by about all the gentlemen travel­ ers around me--travelers who had for seven days on the sea, in a Cunarder, never been seen in anything more pre­ tentious, or less comfortable, than a Scotch cap, that I passed out of the at mosphere of what the Londoners term the American wide-awake--the soft felt or cloth hat--and into the climate of tall silk hats. It had been hinted to me before I got clear of the United States and Aineri- can waters, that I should be nobody in London, not presentable anywhere there, unless I stood under a stovepipe. Grateful for the straight tip, I had no sooner set my foot on the sacred soil of Britain, than I turned my face and my steps toward a hat store. You can buy good-looking silk hats in Liverpool and London for all prices from six shillings to twenty-four. And I could never see any very material diffei'ence in them as they shone in the windows, dignified, and* polished to a high degree. But on the head, in time, 1 doubt not the qual­ ity would tell, and reasons for low prices stand out.--Boston Commercial Bulle­ tin. ^ . An Upright Editor. The editor of the "Wlieelville Tire is a conscientious man and a fearless writer. Shortly aftar the beginning of the campaign for Sheriff, the following editorial appeared in the Tire: "Capt. Millick, who is a candidate for Sheriff, subject to the action of the county convention, is n^t the man for the position. JJe is uneducated and unac­ commodating, and, to tell the truth, is not honesi. Our people will bo mak­ ing a great mistake if they put him in office, in view of the fact that he is a defaulter. Delegates, attend to your duty. Aimes is the man to nominate." Shortly after the paper came out, Millick called on the editor. The two gentlemen ha l a long conference and at par ing, wa inly >liook hands. The after1 oor paper' t up and the forms placed on new WaAmgton lightning hand press, some fiend in hitman shape dipped into the office, lifted out an article complimentary to the Hon. Mr. Millick, and in its place inserted one neatly derogatory to that gentleman. We did not see the article until our entire edition of fifteen quires had been worked off and it Was then, of course, too late to make a correction. Of course no one but a printer could have done this, and we strongly suspect a tramp whom we noticed hanging about the office and who was doubtless paid to perform the nefarious piece of work. We want it distinctly understood that this paper is for Mr. Millick. He has held several public' trusts and on each occasion was worthy of confidence. He is upright and is a perfect gentleman." --Arkansaw Traveler. "She Towns." Traveling lately in the vicinity of Springfield, Mass., 'through the ad­ jacent cities of Holyoke and Chicopee, Ijvas somewhat amused to hear the exclamation that these were "She towns," and that accounted for their poverty and the high taxation the property owners were groaning under. A legislative hearing was held at the hall in. Holyoke, relative to a bridge which a large number of the poorer citizens desired to be built over the Connecticut River in order to save time and about three miles of travel to get to the village of Williamston on the other side. The corporations of both Chicopee and Holyoke were represented by the ablest counsel in that part of the Sfate, opposing the building of the bridge. The counsel representing the Dwight corporation of Chicopee said that the mill had not made 2 per cent, of an average dividend since it started, and that the employes were nearly all wo­ men, who received about 40 cents a day, and had to live on codfish and beans to make both ends meet. This and other statements made there of a similar character impelled me to investigate the truth of these statements, and I discovered that there are more women employed in the cotton mills of the country than there are children and men combined. The whole number of the employes in the States and Territories in cotton mills, from the last official returns, were 172,544; of this number 59,685 were males, 112,859 were women and children. In no other industry were women and children so extensively em­ ployed, and probably the counsel had good grounds for the statements made at the hearing. In Massachusetts out of 61,246 em­ ployes in cotton mills, 22,180 are males, 31,496 women, and 7,570 children. There is no such disparity to be found in the woolen trade between male and female employes, but, on the contrary, more men are employed than there are women and children combined. The last returns show that there were 23,- 621 operatives employed in Massa­ chusetts ; 10,475 of them were females and children, and 13,146 were men; so that in the woolen mills the male help preponderates. The tendency of late years is toward the employment of child labor. We see men frequently thrown out of em­ ployment, owing to the spinning mule baing displaced by the ring frame; or children spinning yarn, which men used to spin. In the weave shop, girls and women are preferable to men, so that we may reasonably expect that in the not very distant future, all the cotton manufacturing districts will be classed in the catagory of "she towns." But people will naturally say, what will become of the men? This is a question which it behooves manufac­ turers to take seriously into considera­ tion. for men will not stay in any town or city where only their wives and chil­ dren can be given employment. There­ fore, a pause at the present time might be of untold value in the future, for just as sure as the world goes round, women and children will seek fresh pastures, where work can be found for the husband and father, in preference to remaining in places where he had to play the part of the "old woman," while they go to work to earn the means of subsistence.-- Waste's Fiber and Fabric. Girls Who Lure Hen to Ruin. Not many years ago a prominent minister who afterward became a Bishop, told me at the dinner-table of a gentleman, after the ladies had retired, an incident equally illustrative of the perils of New York and of the simplicity of the man. He was walking through a side street not very far from his par­ sonage, when he observed a gill at the sidewalk crying. She seemed to be onh' about 12 years old, and the good Siastor felt moved to inquire what might >e her loss or grief. "Oh," said .the girl, "I have been looking to find a minister who will go and see my mother. She is poor, and none of these rich ministers will go to see her." "I am a minister," said the rector; "where is your mother?" He took tho child's hand, and it hardly occurred to him as he went along the pavement that some individual--perhaps some policeman-- noted him particularly in his careful and almost clerical dress accompanying a child evidently far beneath his own station. He went along the street, de­ scended to Third Avenue and continued beyond it, and the child turned into a house, going through a hall. The minister went up one flight of stairs and the girl beckoned him further on. Something he saw or felt or had re­ flected caused him to pause. He now looked at the child's face again and saw a ditlerent light in it from what had ap­ peared upon the streets. A feeling of fear took possession of him and he said: "I won't go up there without soma person I know to accompany me." The child turned, and, running down a few steps, seized him said: "If you don't give me money I'll have you arrested for follow­ ing me home." He saw in a moment the situation he was in--liable to be paraded in every newspaper in the town next day for indulgences he had never conceived, his motives misconstrued, his family and congregation scandalized. At that moment he saw the bright badge of a policeman come up the hall, and supposed himself to be already in the meshes of the law. But the man spoke to him by name, told him that he had followed him under the belief that be was deceived, and thereupon arrested the girl and her moth r, who followed that line of business and kept respect­ able men spotted, so to speak, so as the better to decoy them. In one of Ford's or Beaumont's plays occurs this very scene, dated back to the commence­ ment of the sevent* enth century, where a lewd family maintain a child no l>etter than themselves to be sold to men for the purpose of involving them with ruin or black-mail.--Gath, in Cincinnati Enquirer.

An electric spark in a dusty atmos­ phere causes dust to settle, and if the air be smoky clears it. This is probably one reason why the air seems so clear after a thunderstorm, even if little rain has fallen. It is a familiar and yet it always strikes one as a marvelous fact that worlds may have been for years in ex­ istence, the light of which has not yet had time to reach our earth, and that we may continue to see the light of the stars that have been for a long time ex­ tinct. The 600 tornadoes recorded show that their whirl is almost invariably in the same direction, opposite the hands of a watch; and their onward movement with us is nearly always northeastward. Their favorite time of day is known; and a tabulated list of 162 shows nearly two-thirds between 2 and 6 p. m. An ingenious astronomical theory is that of Mr. Monck at Dublin, who sug­ gests that as shooting stars are known to be dark bodies rendered luminous for a short time by rushing through our atmosphere, new stars are dark or faintly-luminous bodies which acquire a Bliort-lived brilliancy by rushing through some of the gaseous masses visible, perhaps, as nebuhe, which exist in space. Investigations by Dr. R. Von Helm- holtz, described to the Berlin Royal Society, confirm the statements that the formation of cloud in saturated air is induced solely by particles of dust, and that, the finer and sparser are the dust particles the more slowly is the cloud formed. These results are also con­ firmatory of Prof. Tyndall's explanation that the blue color of the sky is due to floating dust. In order to learn why there is so much sulphur in stone coal, and so little free alkaline carbonates in the ashes. M. Dieulefait has analyzed the surviving species of the families of coal plants, particularly the Equisetacese, and lias found in them an unusually large pro­ portion of sulphuric acid. He con­ cludes, therefore, that the ooal plants were more highly charged with sulphur than most existing plants, and that for l.liat reason their alkaline constituents tssumed the forms of sulphates instead •)f carbonates. Liquid oxygen, in small quantities, aas been produced by a number of ex- |»erimenters, but it is only recently that solidified oxygen has been obtained. This interesting experiment was per­ formed by Prof. Dewar at the Royal Institute a short time ago. It was ac­ complished by allowing liquid oxygen to expand into a partial vacuum, when the enormous absorption of heat which accompanies the expansion resulted in producing the solid substance. The oxygen in this condition resembles snow, and has a temperature 200 degrees C., below the freezing point of water. A physician, referring to the custom of traveling on sleeping-cars with the berths made up with their heads to­ ward the engine, said: "It is certainly bad for the brain of the sleeper, as it is not natural; and it is no wonder that so many travelers, especially tliose who have been on the road extensively, ex­ perience bad effects from it. Take in­ fants in baby carriages, and no sane woman will think of trundling the ve­ hicle along so the child goes head first. They always, except the young and in­ experienced mother, push them along feet first. Physicians invariably advise such locomotion. It is the same thing on the cars, and no one should hesitate about having his berth made up so as to move aloug feet first. It is much better for the brain." Thai Other Fellow, j That other fellow is in every contest, wliethor it be dog-fight, politics, busi­ ness, or love. Did you ever see a dog-fight where all were agreed as to which dog should whip ? Were you ever at a trial of a lawsuit that there was not "that other fellow" bellingerent as a hornet ? Are you running a peanut-stand, "that other fellow" is opposing and getting trade that you ought to and would have but for him. You go into a political convention, "that other fellow" is around and gets what belongs by right to you. Finally you get after the girl created for you. Heaven's fiat is in favor of your having her--indeed, she was in­ tended from birth for you by the Great Omnipotent. You knew her at sight. She was the marrow of your life from the day you saw her. She rounded out your existence, and she made you feel like a unit and only she. All this you felt by prescience. You naturally "go" for tl^at girl. You waste time upon her. You study her likes and dislikes; you humor her to peanuts, ice cream, boating, dances, theater, and repeated, and each again repeated. The qiore you Bee her the more you are sure heaven intended her for you and you for her. You are con­ vinced, you are assured, you know. It has passed beyond belief with you; you feel it in your soul. After all this, you awake to the fact that she has "another fellow." "That other fellow" is after her too, and she favors both. She eats the ice-cream of both. She chooses which ? You are on nettles--you are ou the anxious seat--you are in hades, all because of that other fellow. "That other fellow" has been at the bottom of more trouble, been the cause of more jealousy, more disputes, more anger, more hate, more of the real inner cussedness of human life than any other, cause that can be named or mentioned. If there is a creature to be hated, to be justly maligned, animadverted, anathematized, traduced, derided, con­ temned, abused, and spoken against at all times and upon all occasions, he is "that other fellow." And yet the earth is not complete without that other fel­ low. The Bible would be an unsup­ ported, meaningless syllogism with him thrown out or wanting--"Milton's Para­ dise Lost" lose its rhapsody, and life itself sink into a vapid, spiritless game, but for "that other fellow." It is that other fellow that gives spirit to the business of our cities, to the con­ tests of our courts, to the political battles of our commonwealths, and even to the conquests of love itself. Life wonld hardly be worth living but for the gamey spirit of uncertainty and two-sidedness infused into it by "that other fellow." Here's to "that other fellow." May he always make a warm game, but never win!

The kidneys alone should carry out in quantity, in solution, enough of this acid daily, which, if left in the blood, would kill four men.

In a foot note to their lotted they say: "The experienoe of Dr. Clark is not strange to us.

What do you suppsse a winze is?" "A vinze?" he shouted, with a know­ ing smile, "oh, a vinze is a body of ore !* "No. it isn't," said I, and, taking a pencil, I drew him a little sketch of a winze, and explained to him that it was a small shaft from one level to another, generally for the purpose of ventila­ tion.
