MIDSUMMER HATS.

Large llrlms Will Ho in Favor for the

Sunny Days.

Large Leghorn fiats from 75 cents to four dollars apiece are plentiful after the first of June. Of course, at the first price they are not the genuine Italian straw, but they look very well for a season, trimmed in one. of the four styles which are fashionable. One is with white or black ostrich tips, chiffon and flowers; another with a wreath of wild flowers; another with a trimming of immense loops and many jiert ends of light f*ersian ribbon and w hite wings sticking out in every direction, while a fourth has the back turned up with a mass of pink roses against it; an immense rosette of white net is placed on either side of the crown near the back, with a large Valkyrie wing of white, aud across the front has a wreath of roses in their own foliage and a soft drapery of the net. All hats arc worn tip-tilted over the face, which is said to make women look younger, but this style requires a fluffy coiffure. The ever-popular sailor hats shine in simplicity or are trimmed so that the shape is almost hidden. The first named have a simple band of ribbon or one of white leather—the former in a bow on the side and the latter fastened under n gold buckle. A novel sailor brim lias a full crown similar to a Tam O’Shanter, and has a bow on the left side and a bunch of flowers on the right. Medium

crowns are preferred. Large roset^s of tulle in one or up to five colors trim

sailors, with flowers or wings added. Bicycle sailors have a crown band and tw'o quills at the side. A sailor hat for dressy wear lias a wreath of roses in a quantity of leaves, with two erect stems of flowers at the back and a lot of smaller roses crushed under the brim. The severe sailor w ithout a bit of trimming should not lie attempted by the woman over 25, unless she happens to he very youthful in appearance.—Ladies’ Home Journal.

The Finger Language. It is a well known fact that Col. Witherspoon is a dreadfully henpecked man, which is confirmed by a conversation he had with Gus De Smith on a street car, in which there were two deaf mutes. “Isn’t it strange to see those boys talking to each other with their fingers?” “It does look a little peculiar to see them making signs to each other with their fingers.” “I should like to learn it.” “Weill, I wouldn’t. I tried it once.” “Could you understand what your teacher said?” ‘‘Oh, yes; I found no trouble in understanding what she said, but I didn’t like the finger language.” “Who taught you?” “My wife. See that groove on my nose? No more finger language for me.”—Texas Sifter.

A WORLD WRECKER.

A French Fenny Man Writs* a Take-Off on Edison. The astonishing progress of electrical science is neatly satirized by a Parisian paper, which imagines Mr. Edison iu his laboratory hearing the rows of a declaration of war between Great Britain aud tlie United States. A young man, his assistant, rushes in, pale anil put of breath, anil exclaims to the great elect rieian: “Oh, master, war is declared' It is terrible!” “Ah!” says thc master. “War declared, eh? And where is thc British army at this moment?" “Embarking, sir." “Embarking where?" “At Liverpool.” “At Liverpool—yes. Now, my friend, would you please join the ends of those two wires hanging there against the wall? That’s right. Now bring them to me. Good! And be kind enough to press that button." The assistant, wondering and half amused, presses the button. "Very well,” says the inventor. “Now, do you know what is taking place at Liverpool?” “Thc British army is embarking, sir.” The inventor pulls out his watch and glances at the time. "There is no British army,” he says, coolly. "What?” screams the assistant. “When you touched that button you destroyed it.” “Oh, this is frighlful!" “It is not frightful at all. It is science. Now, every time a British expedition embarks at any port please come and tell me at once. Ten seconds nfterward.it will simply be out of existence; that’s all." "There doesn't seem to be any reason why America should be afraid of her enemies after this, sir.” “I am inclined to believe you,” says the master, smiling slightly. "But in order to avert future trouble I think it would be best to destroy England altogether.” “To—to destroy England, sir—” "Kindly touch button No. 4, there.” Thc assistant touches it. The inventor counts ten. “ , eight, nine, ten—it's all over. There is no more England.” “Now we can go quietly on with our work.” says thc master. “And if we should ever be at war with any other nation, you have only to notify me. I have an electric button connected with every foreign country, which will destroy it when pressed. In ten minutes I could destroy every country in the world, the United States included. Be careful, now, flint you don’t touch any of these buttons accidentally—you niight do a lot of damage.”—Philadelphia Ledger.

SUMMER BEDCLOTHES.

Unfit ItlmikctA Should Always lie Heady tit Kami. The bedclothing of summer is too lightly considered by housekeei>ers. Instead of utilizing one of the heavier blankets of winter for summer use, it is far better to use the lighter and less expensive blankets manufactured for .this purpose. The emanations from sleep in summer are much more objectionable than in winter, and summer blankets should l>e frequently washed, as well as summer sheets. There is no hardship in washing a light cotton and wool blanket, such as are properly chosen for summer. The heavy all-wool winter blankets require the services of a professional scourer, or someone who is an expert in washing them. In July a single summer blanket, with sheets and a light cotton coverlet, are sufficient bedding for the majority of ]*■<> pie. There should be a pair of light blankets in addition always in reach in ense of a sudden change in the weather. In August, when the nights begin to be chilly, anil in September two blankets are usually necessary, with a second one in reach. The folly of using heavy Marseilles in these days need not be dwelt on. The summer counterpane should be of such light texture that it can be easily washed. It may bo made of white or cream Bolton sheeting or it may be a coverlet of light Marseilles or dimity, or any of the simple materials used for this purjiose. Lace counterpanes over silk are, liappily, out of fashion, and were never suitable for a summer lied. The pure white bed looks so pretty and cool in summer that there is little likelihood of its being abandoned for anything else. Thc coverlets and bolsters and bedtosters of wash silk, in conventionnlized llorni patterns, on white grounds, are exceedingly pretty, but only suitable for guest rooms that are rarely used. It is better to dispense with all bed canopies for summer. The tester is excusable ns a protection against draughts in winter and for the stately touch of dignity' and grace it gives to the bod fittings. Bed quilts and comfortables are not suitable for summer, because they cannot be readily washed.—N. Y. Tribune.

Donton Brown Dread. The following recipe for “Boston brown brood” is attested ns excellent: Three half-pint cupfuls of Indian cornmeal, same of rye meal, one-half or twothirds cupful of molasses (according to taste), sour milk enough to mix (it will depend somewhat upon the kind of meal and the eonsistenej' of the milk). It will lie better if the milk is solid “bonnyclabber,” and will probably take about two cupfuls, half a teaspoonful of saleratus stirred in the milk and a little salt. Steam four hours, taking care not to let the water stop boiling. Set in thc oven to form a top crust, if liked. Use no sweet milk.—N. Y. Tribune.

A SUGGESTION TO ARDITRATE.

It In W rung to Fight iu This Ealightened Age. The little man with straw-colored hair wagged Lis head indignantly and spluttered incoherent epithets while the six-footer stood off and watched him with an expression of mingled curiosity and worrhnent. ”1 don’t know that I exactly understand what you’re saying,” the big man remarked, slowly. "But 1 guess i have a pretty good idea of the sentiment. Still we might ns well • "l t get her and talk it over so’s to ! ive everything straight and j lain. ^ ou said thet I had not done half the fighting in the war that i claimed to have done. And I retorted that you were so scared you didn’t do any." "Yes. sir, you did. And what’s more, you reiterated it. And, not satisfied w ith that, you said it over.” “And thereupon you called me a liar.” ‘‘Yes, sir. And I nm sorry, sir, that the company into which I had fallen and the stress of the circumstances l>etrayed me into the use of a word which should not be in any gentleman’s vocabulary. But it’s the only one which fits the subject.” “Let’s don’t bother aliout that. We’re both in the same boat on that trip, anyhow. You will remember that I ga\e way to my instinctive love of repartee and replied that you were another.” “You did exactly that." “And then you wanted to fight.” “I haven’t gotten over wanting to, either." “Still, even if we were to fight, the dispute as to the facts in the case would remain unsettled.” “A man is generally willing to give in when he has been licked,” was the clogged answer. “But it wouldn’t be. an even thing. I could take you with one hand like a whipcrncker and snap the pegs out of your shoes." The little man looked him over, and, quite undaunted, replied: “You’ve got a good chance to try.” "I don’t want to do it. I dislike to leave unsettled this question of which of us is a mendacious blot on the continent which George Washington one© inhabited. All you want, of course, is to have it decided which of us is a liar and which is not." “That’s all that it seems reasonable to expect.” “Supjiose, thi n, that we go ahead and determine the thing in a sportsmanlike fashion. Here’s a cent. I’ll flip it up. Which’ll you take, heads or tails?” “Heads." “All right. If it comes up heads, I’m a liar, and if it comes up tails, you’re a liar.” But the little uinn with straw-col-ored hair said it seemed a good deni like foolishness for grown men to behave in that way and he guessed they’d better shake hands and call the whole affair off.—Detroit Free Press.

FELINE FAITHFULNESS.

PUNISHMENT OF CHILDREN.

How Jlest to Rebuke Misbehavior of

the Little Folks.

In a recent number of Science, Prof. J. E. Morse, of the Wisconsin university, in Madison, outlined a series of tests which he wants to have parents make with very young children, with a view to finding out the best way to secure respect for authority, and t hen a report of the result is solicited for comparison with similar statements. The collection of such information may at first wem a little absurd, for every intelligent observer of children knows tiuit the latter differ so greatly in health, brightness, temperament and other qualities that no uniform plan of procedure would give the best results. One child must lie managed in one way, and another in another, in order to secure the highest success. Nevertheless, if enough facts could be gathered, it might be jMissible to classify the little folks w ho had been examined, so that the best policy for each set could be pointed out. Parents and teachers might find a gixxl summary of t in. sc ex|x>rimcnts very instructive. A variety of expedients would be suggested, and one could try that which seems to have worked best in cases like those immediately at ha-nd, provided that all others had foiled. Prof. Morse suggests that most of these experiments lie tried on children whose ages are between two mid six. Various offenses are specified, like naughtiness at table, sauciness, taking a playmate’s toy, misbehavior while the father has been away from home, and lack of cleanliness; and such punishments are suggested as sending away from the table, shutting up in a room, whipping or spanking, sending to lied without a good-night kiss. The effect of each is to lx* carefully recorded. The attempt is to be made, too, to find out whether praise for good behavior goes further than censure for wrongdoing or neglect And the possible influence of pretending to cry is to be watched. Prof. Morse will send instructions to those who are willing to cooperate in this investigation, and asks people to send him their names and addresses for that purpose. He says: “The information secured in response to this request will be used in a general and statistical way without publication of names.” Those w ho participate would lx: assisting in a cause of great value, and would be doing philanthropic service.—Scien-

Uerre Sacrificed Hit Ufe to Avcna* J i an tie** Death. Some time ago iu a quiet little corner way down on the Hue lloyale, I chanced upon a quaint little creole creature whom the neighbors call “Mam’zelle.” If there was ever any name attached it must have been in prehistoric times, for now there is not even a sign iqion the door of the little bukeshop where Mam’zeJle sells bread aud cakes to the neighborhood. Very good hrival and cakes they are, too, 1 can tc .tify, for recently I have found Mam’zelle’a oozy shop a very comfortable n sting place after a mcming’s tramp in quest of news. In this way I have come to be pretty .well acquainted with Mam’zelle and Pierre, the eat, and Joanne, the bird. Pierre is a handsome black and white fellow, w ith a noble head, and he mid the little canary, Jeanne, were about the same age. Mam’zelle told me ih her pretty creole patois how devoted the two jH'ts were to each other, and I myself saw frequent evidences of their kindly relationship. In a quiet corner of the little shop I have seen Pierre and Jeanne taking their breakfast together from tlie same plate, and by and by, when the eat would lie dozing in the sunshine, the bird would hop alxiut him or cuddle up snug and comfortable between his outstretched paws. When Mam’zello was busy, so that she could not keep an eye on the little bird’s safety, she would swing the cage | in the doorway, while Pierre would i stretch himself on the floor beneath, 1 keeping guard over his friend. And * woe betide any strange cat that wan- | dered that way. Pierre was always | on tlie alert for squalls, and if a eat came too near to suit him he would | send Jeanne hustling into her cage 1 while he chased the offending feline off i thc street. Just this very thing happened reI cently for the thousandth time, prob- | ably, but for the flint time on record, ! grief followed the move. Pierre and ! Jeanne were taking their usual morn- | ing game in the sunshine of the litttle shop door, when a big brindlo stranger appeared on the banquet without. Straight ns a die Jeanne was in her rage and Pierro had gone in hot pursuit of the brindle. The eliase was a I hard one, and Mam’zello says Pierre mrust have been gone a long time, but j she was busy serving customers, and by and by noticed Jeanne hopping aliout Hie counter. Thinking, of course, that Pierre had returned, she took no further notice of the bird. A little later, however, hearing a dreadful commotion out on the banquet, she ran out to witness the sad little tragedy which I. too, arrived just in time to see, but too late to prevent. Taking advantage of Pierre’s protracted absence, an ugly tortoise shell from the next block strolled to the litthc shop in search of Jeanne. Finding her out hopping nlxnit unprotected, he began siege at once, nodoubt. Mam’zelle and I arrived just in time to see the tor-toise-shell jxiunce on ]xx>r Jeanne ns she sat perched on top of the swinging cage and boar her with him to the pavement. Before either of us could interpose the deed was done, and then in a moment there came Pierre rushing around the eorner, and ns quick as a flash he had taken In the situation. With one fi#rce bound he sprang ujion the tortoise-shell and swept poor Jeanne from his clutches. For a brief moment he sat guarding her. but that moment was long enough to tell he was too late. Then, lotting M.'iin’zclle take the little corpse From under his paw, he swooped down upon the tortoise-shell. It was only for a little while, but when the battle was over both cats lay dead ■on the pavement. Pierre had laid down |his life to avenge Jeniine’s death, and the little Mnm'zelle mourns both her I pets.—Chicago Journal.

The inoflfer.: 'vocitl- ! zen was sauntering along in the same i dusk, unmindful of the presence of J tlie practical joker. Tlie practical joker, ! recognizing a friend in the inoffensive citizen, chuckled to himself and quick- , ened himself to overtake him. The inoffensive citizen was thinking of a story he had read about footpads and wondering whether anyone would ever try to hold him up. The practical joker suddenly tipped the inoffensive citizen’s hat over his eyes. The Inoffensive citizen wheeled instantly and landed a fine, large blow between Unpractical joker’s eyes. The practical joker went down. The inoffensive citizen promptly sat on him and hit him , again. The practical joker yelled: "For heaven’s sake don’t hit me again, John! Don’t you kuow me?" | The ihoffensive citizen said: "Great ' Scott!” The practical joker said, in an injured tone: “Hangitall, John, it’s only a joke.” The inoffensive citizen looked at the ; practical joker, who now had one eye , closed, and laughed. The practical joker angrily asserted that it uns no I laughing matter. I “Hut you said it was a joke,” returned I the inoffensive citizen, “and I think you ore right." And he laughed again. But the practical joker hasn’t been able to see the point of it to this day. Still, it was unquestionably a good joke.—Tit-
