The Fillring Bonnet. Another fashionable vulgarity exhibited at the places of amusement is one that is common only in America. In Europe, no lady is permitted to enter a theater or opera house wearing a bonnet or hat that may in anv degree obstruct a view of the stage by those who sit behind them. In tikis country, and especially in this city, it is not Uncommon for a lady to wear a flaring hat or poke bonnet that practically forbids a score of spectators from seeing the stage except by bobbing around the sides of the obstructive head-gear. This nuisance is not confined to fashionable people, but well-bred people should know that it is offensively vulgar, and, if they would banish the flaring bonnet, and appear at the theaters and at opera in suitable headdress, the imitators of fashion would speedily follow thetn in the reform. It is simply an exhibition of vulgarity for an intelligent woman to appear in public with a hat or bonnet that interferes with the enjoyment of those around her. Respect for others, high or low, is thq first attribute of the gentleman or lady, and any violation of the rule, in publio or private, is simply vulgarity.— Fhila* delphia Times.

The cowbird, like the European cuckoo, never pairs, builds a nestj or hatches its own .young. The' flocks that frequent cow pastures are composed of males and females that consort together promiscuously, and the female, when the time comes, leaves her companions and sets out; alone to find the nest of some small bird in which she lays the egg, and, then leaves it entirely to the care of’ the unwilling, and often unwitting foster-parents. As a rule, this means the destruction of the bird's own brood, for the young cowbird, being hatched looner than the true offspring, monopolizes all attentions and the other young, if hatched at all, die of unavoidable neglect.—Scribner.

THE 4THAT THE FAIR “Hurrah for the Fourth of July, George Washington, Christopher Columbus, and the great World's Fair I" ■ Timothy John Putterbaugh uttered i the words in a ringing cheer as he entered the grounds of the Columbian Exposition on the morning of July 4. I He was the most patriotic celebrator i in America, the happiest man in the i whole world, for Revolutionary blood ran in his loyal veins. Timothy and « his family had come to the Fair to cel--1 ebrate, and they were determined to make a gala day of it. There was Betsey Jane, the wifo,

To hum the crops are booming, and money’s no object for anything you want, from peanuts to pop. We’ve come to celebrate. Your old dad will set ’em up. Whoop, by gosh!” and Timothy lit an enormous firecracker. “Here, old man, no firing off young cannons allowed,” called out one of those promiscuous young men known'as Columbian guards. “No firing! No snap, boom, bang on the glorious Fourth! What have I struck? An alien shore, or the rockbound coast of my native land?” demanded Timothy, with pathetic irony. “You stop me? Timothy J. Putterbaugh is prohibited from letting off the bottled-up fizz of patriotism swelling in his bosom. Gosh all hemlocks! is this the land of Washington and pumpkin Sle? Suffering Cornelius! think of ’76! ! the firing had stopped then where would we be?” Just then a dapper youth snatched the remainder of the pack from Timothy, and applied his cigarette to the fuse. Pop—bang—boom! A small cyclone seemed to rend the spot. “Didn’t I tell you not to fire any more crackers?” roared the guard, rushing back and drawing his cheese knife. “I didn’t fire any more crackers,” grinned Timothy, “I'm busy speechifying. Reckon they went off by spontaneous combustion! Young feller,” to the real culprit, “shake! You’ve saved the country, and if there's a ‘for drinking purposes only’ barrel handy, I’ll fill you up free.” The Putterbaughs wandered on, but Timothy was not subdued. “Betsey Jane,” bo remarked, “they’ve spiled the fun, but wait till night.” “What’s going to happen then?” “Fireworks, they say. Then you shall hear from me"! I camo prepared.” And Timothy tapped a mysteriouslooking parcel ho carried. “What you got there?” asked the perplexed Betsey. “Never you mind—you'll know when

aelebratlon treginx. I’m biiW over I with enthusiasm, and it's got to bust | out somewhere! Look, Betsey, there's the genuine, original and only liberty, bell that rang out the independence of this great country over a hundred years ago!” As they passed rolio after relic of revolutionary fame, Timothy got warihod up and a battle-scarred nag evoked a teinlflc strain from “Hail Columbia." Timothy was growing enthusiastic, when shrieks ana firecrackers mingled in a sudden and exciting chorus. "Land o' Goshen! What's broke loose?" gasped Timothy, grabbing up his youngest scion.* Ike was blubbering, and Ike was on fire. Some mischievous boy had slipped a lighted match into his pocket, and “set off two packs!” "Dad! you won't wallop mo, will you?” he sniffled. “I would remark not!" cried Timothy, smoothing out about a foot of charred cloth. “A glorious salute at the very baptismal font of liberty! Come to my arms, my son! I'm proud of you!” At dark they followed a crowd tc where some elaborate fireworks were to lie sent off. “Timothy, what are you going to do?‘ said Betsey Jane, alarmedly, as the old man made a spring for a platform. Stripping the covering from his mysterious parcel, he waved it at the throng—an old rusty musket. “Fellow-citizens," declaimed Timothy; “I wish to speak a few words. I’m Timothy Putterbaugh — biggest farmer in Grundy County, law-abiding citizen, direct descendant of Captain Oziah Putterbaugh, who fought, bled and died for his country at Lexington, and served later in the war of 1812.” “Good for Oziah!” sang out a chairpusher. “In my hand,” muttered Timothy, excitedly, “I hold what? A gun. When you gaze at the great Krupp cannon, the lifty-shots-a-minute rifles on exhibition here, and see how easy it is to have a whole war over and done inside of an hour, do you consider that ' our noble forefathers had no such —nc such " “Cinch," suggested a bystander. “Cinch'll do.

Bang!!—l,B93 dis- ■ tinct reverberations seemed to follow a flare like a cannon, a report like the explosion of a powder magazine. Children shrieked, women fainted. The gun kicked and knocked the irrepressible Timothy flat, flew from his hand, whacked the guard over the head, and fell in the midst of the crowd. “I arrest you ” began the officer. “No, you don’t!” retorted Timothy. “Betsey Jane, ’tend to the kids; your old man’s got to hustle.” “Stop! stop!” A hundred voices sounded the warning, as the spry Timothy leaped to an adjoining platform. At that moment the fireworks had begun, and the reckless Timothy had landed squarely into a fiery, hissing nest of them. They saw a hundred pin-wheels encircle him with their spitting tongues' of flame —they saw a spurt of Roman candles strike his hat and riddle it. They saw Timothy John Puttcrbaugh aureoled with a circle of blue, red and green lights like a phoenix, and then he uttered one rousing yell of triumph amid a whole battery of exploding rockets. “E pluribus unum, star-spangled banner,hurrah for the Fourth of July!” screamed the grand old patriot. “Betsey Jane, on this grand and glorious occa ” When they got Timothy John to a tank and put him out, and to the emergency hospital and greased him all over, one ear was missing, one eye was closed and one arm was in a sling.

A RUN ON A BANK. Bow * Brainy Official Succeeded In Stem. Hilnff the Tide of Doubli I ••Those who read about runs on banks," said George M. Shelley'to a reporter for the St. Louis G1 >bcDetnocrat, “think only of the excitement on one side or the counter and have little idea of what goes on on the other side of it. Some fifteen years ago I was a clerk in a small bank in Montreal, upon which their was a steady run. Beyond saying with thescriptures: ‘An enemy hath done that,’ wacould give no explanation for the attack, because the bank, although.small, was in a healthy condition. Every large depositor, however, wanted his money out at once, and an hour b-fore closing time it became evident that we cou rt not possibly hold out unless a large amount of currency and co n could be obtained right away. The cashier mingled with the crowd and assured the loudest talkers that the bank could pay dollar for dollar, and other means were adopted to allay suspicion. These, however, were of no avail, and the entire staff, which was not very large, real Led that the end was near. Just as we did this relief occurred lu a very remarkable manner. Our president, who was a man of high standing in the community, was not at the bank that day, but hearing of the runtime in. lie was one Os those men who were evidently cut out for leaders or rulers, for his influence was felt in a moment. Addressing the crowd, he absolutely ignored the danger of suspension, and told those in the rear who were in a hurry to bring up their checks to him and he would exchange them for his own personal checks on another and larger bank in the city. Two or three accepted his offer, but the balance of the (rowd was so impressed with his coolness and evident good laith that they seemed rather ashamed of themselves and went away. We closed up that night with a nominal balance in the safe, but before morning we had secured a large sum in specie, and several who had drawn out the afternoon previous paid in their money again. The bank is still inexistence, and is probably as safe as any small bank in the country. Bones’ Duck. Bones was a shaggy, fat Skye terrier with a short tail. Just why these scrubby-looking Skye terriers always find luxurious homes and fond admirers I don’t know, but they seem to do it. Bones was no exception. He was the household pet. Every member of the family cuddled and kissed him, and he returned their affection with equal ardor. When any one came home after a short absence, Bones showed extravagant delight, and his demonstrations were usually rewarded with candy or cake. He had a trick of catching up any small object which came handy, and bringing it cto lay at the returned one’s feet, as If to display the generosity of his heart, Sometimes he overshot the mark, like the rest of us. One day the lady of the house returned, and Bones, dashing out to find some token of affection topresent her, fell over three unfortunate little ducks walking primly behind their mamma. He caught one up in his mouth, and. with joyful haste rushed back to the parlor. Poor duck! Poor Bones! The duck struggled. Bones took a firmer grip The duck struggled v harder. Bones gave a hurriei gulp, and, to his own dismay as well as the duck’s, the duck went down Bone’s throat, and never came up again. The shout of laughter which greeted his exploit was too much for Bones. He ran out faster than he came in. His stomach and his conscience both troubled him for long after. It was only necessary to say, “Duck. Bones!” to see him slink away with the funniest expression of dojgish shame, caused by the remembrance of his unintentional dinner.—Harper's Young People. r A Dream Warning. In 1877 a fireman was dismissed from service on the Baltimore and Ohio fast mail, Parkersburg to Grafton. While at work later in the oil region near Volcano he di earned three nights in succes ion that his old engineer was going to have a wreck. He sent word to ‘Jack” about his dreams and warned him to be careful. The next day “Jack” had orders to meet a fast passenger coming west at Pennsboro. In tend of pulling up to the east end of the station to wait for the westbound to take the siding, “Jack” thought of his warning and stopoed at the west end, a mite away. When the westbound tra n tried to stop at the east end the airbrakes failed to work, and the tra n was stopped only twenty feet away from Jack’s engine, after the terrible su-pen-e of rever ed engine, hissing steam, Hying >and and whistle screaming for brakes Jack’s warning and subsequent prccaut on had saved an awful wreck.—St. Louis Republic. Part ol’a Talk with Edwin Booth. “Did anybody ever tell you you looked like Edgar A. Poe?” I asked. “No,” replied Booth, “but the other day, in passing up Breadway, I was attracted by a portrait In a window which 1 took for mine, but which was Mr. Poe’s. lam a great admirer ol’ him. By the by, do you know that he was a grandson of Benedict Arnold?’ “No. ” “Well, he was, or at least he claimed to he. In a conversation between Poe and Tom Placide, an old actor, Poe asserted that his mother, whoso maiden name was Arnold, was the illegitimate daughter of Benedict” “But Toe was greatly given to roInancing about himself," 1 explained. “But would a man romance in that way about himself?" • “Most men would not, but Mr. Poe would.”—Utica Observer. An Interesting Calculation. It has been calculated that twentytwo acres of land are needed to sustain a man on fresh meat-, while, if, the same amount be planted in wheat, it will feed forty-two peop’e: under oats, eighty-eight people; under Indian corn, rice, and potatoes, 176 people; and under the plaintain or bread fruit it will feed over 6,000 people.

The Best Shampoo. A dermatologist of high standing - says that the proper way to shampoo i the head is to use some pure soap made into a “good lather on the head,” with plenty of warm water, and rubbed into the scalp with the fingers or with rather a stiff brush that has long bristles. When the scalp is vdry sensitive, borax and water, or thtfyolks of three eggs, beaten in a pint of lime water, . are recommended instead of soap and water. After rubbing the head thoroughly in every direction ' and washing out the hair with plenty ' of warm water, or with douches of warm water, alternating with cold, drying the hair with a bath towel, a small quantity of vaseline or sweet almond oil should be rubbed into the [ scalp. The oil thus applied is used in [ the place of the oil that has been re- , moved by washing, and to prevent the [ hair from becoming brittle. Merits of the Esquimau Dog, 1 Lieut. Peary was asked the other 1 day what kinds of dogs he would take 1 north with him. He replied: I “The Esquimau dogs which we i brought back on our return from our former expedition. Any other dog than an Esquimau dog '"will not last three days in the cold weather there, . while the Esquimau will endure a degree of cold that is surprising. Some ' of the dogs I had before would travel ’ for three or four days without eating • food, and they slaked their thirst with i the snow. A pound of pemican a day to each was the usual rations. They r do not feel the cold and will not seek [ shelter except when the wind is blowing. I have seen then curl up to sleep, apparently perfectly comfortable, on the snow, with rib covering, when the 1 thermometer was forty degrees below I ‘ zero. Any other dpg that I know of S could not endure this.” r Perplexed Over the Mistake. f What a woman doesn't know about j newspapers isn't worth knowing. The I other morning Mrs. Blank was talking tp her husband. “I noticed in the Daily Hoodoo that Mr. Blifkins died Sunday.” > "It's a mistake, my dear,” replied the husband: “he died on Monday.” "But the paper said Sunday.” ■; “I know it, but it was an error in the t print.” , f‘l thought so, too, at first, but I got “ a half dozen copies of the paper, and it was the same in all of them. They - certainly couldn’t have made the misI take over and over again.” The husband tried to convince her, I but it was no use, and he gave it up. .

A Watch Electrocuted. Lightning played a queer trick the other day out in Montana. A bolt fell on a farmer working in a field on his ranch near Augusta, and besides killing him played havoe with the metal that he carried in his clothes. The current struck his silver watch, burned a hole through the edge near the case spring, and passed on entirely through the watch between the Quter aqd inner cases, and made its exit near the siem. A matoh could be inserted in the hole. When the body was found the watch had stopped, out when it was taken from the pocket it started ticking again, and has been keeping excellent time since. The blades of the dead man’s knife were welded together, and the brass ends were melted. A Peculiar Railway Accident. The carelessness of a guard or brakeman on a Germany railway recently caused considerable damage. It was a bitter cold morning, and he put the brakes down hard on his car at a station where he had a short rest. When the train was started again, he forgot to take off the brake until the wheels, which had slid solidly along the track, were worn off fully two inches. Suddenly the guard remembered his negligence and let off the brake, but this was injudicious as the wheels, now no longer round, acted as so many hammers and before the accident was discovered they had broken the steel rails in no less than eighty-one places.
