Woman and Her Hat.
A woman cannot stick a bat on her
bond as you stick a stamp oti a letter.
There Is an Ingenious machine that
ticks stamps on letters nt the rate of
several thousands an hour. But no
body has Invented a machine for stick
Ing hats on the heads of women.
A ninn cnn buy a bat In five minutes,
but no woman would dream of buying
a hut In Uh than nn hour Often n
wotnnn will aciulre a splitting head
ache In the attempt to find one hat to
suit her out of a hundred, and not sel
dom she carries away the headache
without a hat on It.
Tbe bat hunt Is only a small part of
the dally agony of shopping, and yet a
man would rather cut hi . throat than
engage In a bat hunt as a dispassion
ate spectator. Men prefer to hunt the
fox or the stag, the tlgur or the lion,
the grizzly or the grouse. A tiger hunt
In not nearly so perilous as a hat bunt.
London Opinion.
Profits In Wast Papor.
The sale of waste paper used to af
ford perquisites for government offl
dais. When Joint M t'ulloi-h (of dic
tionary of Commerce fsiniei was ap
pointed comptroller of the stationery
office In 1RII, he discovered that the
proceeds from the sale of government
waste paper were divided among his
subordinates, whu thus more than
doubled their oftlclal Incomes. Tbo
new comptroller prohibited this prac
tice on the ground that all moneys do
rived from such sales belonged to the
exchequer. Some of the officials dis
regarded this prohibition anil contin
ued to sell waste paper and pocket the
proceed" When this came to the ears
of McCulloch they were prosecuted for
"systematic appropriation of public
property " For many years past the
stationery office has made over t lo.om)
a year from the sale of waste paper.

The Jr. . however, also set aside '
this order of the mayor, and the drink-

Still another order by the mayor
directed that all street meetings be
stopped. This none the les did not
prevelit a big crowd gathering when
some ti f t y soldiers asucuihlcd oil First

trouble, but were themselves careful
not to start any demonstration.
The damage done by sailors will not
exceed $.S,inm) Hi their excitement the
sailors demolished a Salvatlou Army
meeting room, having been told It was
the iiuartcrs of a branch of the Indus

the sailors begun to break chairs and

Each watch Jewel Is shaped to a cir

boring being Just a little less than the
dlu meter of tbe pinion used lu the fac
tory where it Is filially to la? placed lu
the iiper or lower plate of a wutch.
Before the Jewel gets to the setter It
has been put into n lathe and by means
of a minute steel point covered with
diamond dust and oil tbe center has
been enlarged to tit the steel pinions
which shall be housed In It. In the
hands of tbe setter tbe cylinder la put
Into a lathe. With a moistened finger
the Jewel Is picked up and placed In
side the cylinder aa It rests on the tip
oi the revolving lathe shaft. With a
pointed tool the setter presses against
the revolving cylinder edge, forcing tbe
soft metal to overlap and close upon
the sapphire or ruby till It Is Imbedded
firmly In the metal cushion. Then a
pressure upon a follower at the other
end of tbe lathe brings a cutter to liear
upon the metnl circumference, turning
It to tbe exact size of tbe Jewel bole
in the plnte of the watch, with the hole

Weakly Outing of Algerian Ladies.
On Friday In Algiers I visited the

who la worshiped as a saint. The cem

one place In a. I Algiers where the wo
men of the birVttsi can feel the fresh
air of heme ,u their faces. And
that Is allowed only once a week, on
Friday, when they are permitted to
unveil and sit nnd chat together with
in the leineieiy predncts. It wns a
curious sight as 1 entered, and It sug
gested resurrection morn Fully fifty
shrouded white llgures were scattered
about the grounds, sitting on graves,
tbelr bodies mid heads covered by
white robes, but their faces partly re
vealed. There was a small percentage
of pretty fines and those belonged to
the very young women Tbe middle
aged were plum, with that plainness
which proceeds from a dull mind and

on and on to tl ml of tin last chap
b r. w hen. closing the volume, he re
marked:
"That Is a marvelous lifelike drama,
only to be appreciated when read light
through."
It Is fair to Infer that It was appro
elated for once. Any one who has tak
en a loug, solitary afternoon and at
tempted to give the book of Joti au op

It honestly through at one sitting can
