Human Nature Is Queer.
Nex to the first pronounced hoopekirt
on Broadway the first straw hat of the
season creates the largest attention.
When a man has confidence enough in
the weather to start out for a two days'
trip with a straw hat, he is planning a
great responsibility upon the weather
bureau, which stands for onr modern
providence. I saw such a man at the
Fifth Avenue hotel one day; and his was
the first straw hat of the season. To say
that he attracted much attention and
was the subject of a great many pleas-'
antries is putting it very mildly. There
are some people, however, who are either
indifferent ,to criticism or too obtuse to
observe it, who begin things without con
sulting other people. Somebody has to
begin, you know, but the large majority
of rfanldnd lack the nerve of woman
kind and dread to be conspicuous in any
particular as to dress.
Men are awful cowards when it comes
to dress. They wait for those of better
nerve and then follow like a flock of
sheep. Scarcely a man of all those who
smiled and sneered and laughed at the
man with the first straw hat but will be
wearing a straw hat himself this sum
mer. Yet if all men were like these no
such thing as the comfortable straw
would havo ever been worn, because no
man would have had the courage to be
gin it. There is a certain humor in the
incongruity of things, it is true, and if a
man appear on Broadway iu straw hat
and ulster he is likely to be a sensation
at tliis season of the year. A month
or two later and the man with the over
coat and straw may be seen at any sum
mer resort. New York Herald.
Champion of the British monarch, '
Queen Victoria has lost hor champion.
He died only the other day, but his son
succeeds to the office. It ia his duty to
stand ready at all times to defend against
all comers the right of the sovereign to
her crown. But he only appears in pub
lic, personally or by duty, on coronation
day, when, unless the sovereign dispenses
with the ceremony, he must declare
her formally crowned, throw down the
gauntlet and defy her enemies. If the
champion fails in this duty, he forfeits his
estate, given the family by William the
Conquerer, and sinks into middle class
obscurity, for the queen's champion is
not a nobleman. Yeoman and squire was
Robert de Marmyon when William the
Conquerer made hira his champion and
gave him tho manor of Scrlvelsby, and
his descendant, who has just surrendered
the office by death, was a simple justice
of the peace. Queen Viotoria did not
call upon her champion at her corona
tion, nor did William IV, George IV was
the last king at whose coronation the
ceremony was observed, but the simple
country squire who succeeds now to the
championship is not at all likely to be
called upon to perform the duty of his
office for Albert Edward. Springfield
Republican.
Experiments With Infected Cattle.
Interesting experiments are now being
tried in England by a royal commission
on tuberculosis. A cow is selected and
for a considerable time is watched care
fully to see that it is free from disease.
It is then fed for some days on food in
fected with the bacteriaand tuberculosis.
and afterward time is allowed for the
development of the infection.
The commission is to report whether
meat and milk from such animals are in
fective, and if so tho dogree to which the
use of them is likely to affect public
neaiw.
The experiments, which are neoessarily
slow, have consumed much time. The
commission met recently to consider the
results so far arrived at, but the final re
port will probably not be made before
, the autumn.

The Caliph In a Fix.
The caliph of Khartoom is in a bad
way. He owns 700 watches, and not one
of them goes. In 1885, when the Mahdists
invaded the town , all the European watch
makers left the place, and none of the
natives understand watchmaking. To
Vhave 700 tickers and not know the time
awkward, very. The caliph has sent
a special messenger to SuaWn to engage
a watchmaker, but ho has been received
very coolly. The ruler of Khartoom is
said to be rather quick tempered andca-
pable of cutting ofT your head if all his
watches don't keep time to the second.

BOUND TO TELL HIM.
Young Lady Who Woulda't
Let Mr.
ftmyths fcpeak.
The horses had been turned, and the
Stnto street car was alout to start north
when a pretty girl sprang on the platform
and made her way inside. The seats were
full, and for a moment she peered about
in a helpless, nearsighted way. Then a
young man sprang to his feet and offered
her the seat he had vacated.
"Oh, thank you, Mr. Smytiie," she
cried. "I am so tired. 1 have been shop
ping all day and have taken nothing ex
cept a glass of soda water since break
fast. Isn't it a lovely day? Don't you
tmnit spring Has really come? And oh.
have you heard that Ethel McFadd is
not only engaged but actually going to
De married? Now, don't lift your eye
brows and look incredulous, you horrid,
sarcastic thing it's really true."
"Pardon mo, I really"
"Yes, indeed, I don't wonder you look
surprised. I wouldn't have believed it
myself, but Carrie says Ethel told her
herself I forgot to ask whom she is go
ing to marry, I was bo astonished. It's
all because of a yellow gar something
I gave her at Easter for Ethel never
had a really serious beau in her life
How could anybody ever want to marry
a girl with such ears? Now, don't laugh,
you ill natured creature, I am awfully
sorry for her."
"I that is" he took out his handker
chief and wiped the perspiration from
his brow.
"Poor soul, how attentive she was to
Harry McPhlirt last season! Really, I
was nice to him just because I f olt so
sorry for him, he"
'Well, I" there was a wild look in
his eyes."
"Oh, yes, ho did ko there a cood deal.
He had to be polite, you know. Don't
you think she's a good deal older than
she looks? She must be awfully pleased,
don't you think so?"
"Ah, I he looked heblesslv at
the door.
"Oh, it's just shocking the way you
make me run on you're so sarcastic.
I declare I'm actually afraid of you. It's
all your fault, every bit, for I'm really
devoted to Ethel. I wonder if she will
keep right on blondining her hair when
she is married?"
"Miss Edith, you"
"Perhaps not, Well, I hope shell ask
me to be bridesmaid. It's so nice to wear
a lovely new gown and walk up the aisle
and look frightened, you know. I must
go and congratulate Ethel right away.
Well, my street is next. Will you stop
the car? By the way, have you heard
whom she is going to marry?'
"Nobody much, Miss Edith," said the
young man, as he signaled the conduct
or. "Only inysolf. Good day."

Getting Even. .
Dr. F. C. Wines, founder of tho Na
tional Prison association, hod been for
merly the principal of a boy a school,
One day he had occasion to "trounce" a
boy, and, it is supposed, did the work
thoroughly. The lad took bis revenge
in a way tnat the doctor himself could
not help laughing at. Dr. Wines' front
door bore a plate on which was the one
word, "Wines." The boy wrote an ad
dition in big letters, so that tho inscrip
tion ran, "Wines and other lickers."

"Where are the rugs that were on the
hall floor, Katie?" asked the mistress of
the now hired girl.
"Oh, ma'am, I made such a bargain
for yees this morning. There was a rag

shakin them rugs, an he give me the
beautifullest hand painted ornyment for
the parlor, ma am, for them old things,
