From every i>oiut come shafts ef ridicnlo and oven abase to the woiuau who wears to the theater u iiou- uet larger than a saueepan. Those who limke all t his knbbub are the very ones who have Uio least ri^bt to. ami I’ll prove it. It is generally man—plain, horrid, crabbed man—who finds so much fault with our hats. Now, I don't mind tell ing you that it is this same man who does more to spoil a lady's evening at the the ater than all the hats in Christendom. You kuow him as well as I do, for you meet him at every theater. Ho seems to have nothin'; iu the world to do but to go to playhouses and cause people to wish they had never been born. This man, whom we all kuow, never gets to the theater until tho play has be gun. And, what is inure astonishing and even more aggravating, ho always selects a seat midway between two aisles and in the must crowded section of the house. Down tho aisle ho—this horrid man- tramps, every step drowning at least two lines of the dialogue. At his row he stops and gloats over hio victims as ho counts bow many therolire. Adjust ing his overcoat so that it will hit every hat in tho lino and dishevel every hang under those hats, ho begins his mad plunge for his seat. His caue-ho carries so that it will catch every thread of lace or every ornament, while he so handles his feet as to take an inch of patent leather off every shoe. Gained his seat and he casts his eye •long the wreck he has wrought, looks Into the face of every auditor in tho hotue, bongs np his chair, then down •gain, throws his overcoat over it so that it Will hit the victim behind him, and down he planks himself with a grunt Of sublime satisfaction at having for ttoe in his life made his presence felt by M «« do not expect, they may b thtewato Md be absorbed by M.

When he blushes palpably, but without look ing awkward, ono is drawn toward him by a certain sentiment of affinity, and so long aa ho la just shy enough, but not too shy, he wins more and more upon one. To draw a really shy man out of his shyness is a pleasing task, and the more so as he is generally disinclined TO give expression TO tho thonghts and ideas that ho usually keeps locked fast away within himself. Ono comes upon a stray jewel or two now and then, in such cases, in tho shape of an unexpect ed thought that astonishes the discov trer because it seems so different from tho person from whom it emanates, assure you, I think shy men are somo- thnes very charming, but then one must he a little shy one's self in order to up predate them.

London Truth. Unman Flaab Doea Not Petrify, Petrification is simply the substitution of inorganic for organic matter, atom by atom. This process of transformation is unthinkably slow. As a molecule of wood or bone decays a molecule of atone takes Ite place. This con only occur when the sir, earth or water surround ing the organic substance in question buds in solution some mineral which Is readily precipitated. In the case of either wood or bon#, while decoinnositlou ft Vet remains a fratt the interstices of which luoy naaEKBssr;: gradually be filled by the miner;(l kuU stance—with flesh, be it human or ani mal, no such framework exists. The Very rapid decay of flesh also makes it Impossible for the very slow process of petrifaction to have any effect In tho war of making a transformation. The stories of petrified bodies being found in graveyards are usually "faked np?' by some imaginative returter who wishes to lengthen his "string. 11 It is true, however, that the bodies of human twinge have been frequently found in- Sfttsted with n eillcious substance so Of to resemble real petrifactions In every particular.—At. Louis Republic. . Ugulng With lltc trok*. Signing with the cross was first prac ticed by Christians to distinguish them selves from tho pagans. In ancient rimes kings and nobles used the sign of the cross, whether they ooald write or not, as a symbol that the person making it pledged himself by his Christian faith to the truth of Ibe matter to which ho af- fii.d It—Detroit Free Pres*. There is apt to bo a tine irreverence about the inventor which lends him to suspect that any old way of doing n tiling is for that very reason not the best way. Often be observes some time hon ored plan of working, andaciously makes aphis mind to do the exact opposite and hits npon success. Guns wero loaded at tho muzzle for ages, until one day a man of originality thought of loading them at tho other end, tho preferable end on many accounts besides that of manifest convenience. Tho same path was trod den by tho Frenchman who first put the eye of a needle near its point instead of away from its point. He little knew that lie was doing u great deal to make the sewing machine a possibility. One of tho notions of tho pioneer rail way engineers in England was that their roils must be flanged so that tho wheels of locomotives and carriages should not get off tho truck. But somo ono of skep tical minu inquired, “Why not leave the TOpof tho rail flat, or nearly flat, and pat the flange on the wheel, an easier thing TO do?” Accordingly the flange was taken from tho rail to tho wheel and remains there to this day to remind the traveler that an eastern philosopher told long ago, "To him that it well shod it is as if the whole earth were covered with leather.” It is a good many yean now since steam was first used for heating build ings, and aa air when warmed ascends what more natural than that steam ooOa should hug the floors just as the stoves before them hud done? But in some of the largest factories in this country the coils ore fastened not to the floor, but to the ceiling, which proves to he a better place foe them. As everybody knows who ever sat before an open fire, radia tion is a pleasanter means of warmth than convection, than heat carried along by currents of air. Floor epooe is inci dentally saved, and the risk of gathering combustible rubbish about tha«r.‘.l. u avoided. In the ages of simplicity. T$fobesme flown to watt’s ttyqfl end the invention of the Steam engine, when a kettle wee to be heated the proper plaoe for the fire was thought to be outside. But when big boilers came in, with Meeting need that their contents he heated in the short est time possible, it was found gainful to put the fire Inside. BttphensopVloco- tdotlvo, the Rocket, permd 99 sttytU part of its efficiency from hie knowledge to which eida pf (he poller TO apply flame. On somewhat the same principle Lord Dundonald, one of the early improvers of the steam engine, forced the tot air currents under his toiler from above downward, against their natural tend ency to mo"o from below upward. In this way to made available much heat that otherwise would have been waited. Tho steam engine, whether mounted on wheels or not, always keeps its fuel out side-furnace and cylinder are distinct. Today the steam engine's primacy U challenged by a motor which naes its fuel inside, the furnace being no other than the cylinder, precisely as in the barrel of a gun. So much more work does a gas engine yield than a steam en gine, in comparison with tho heat ap plied, that only the dearness of heat «a supplied by gas prevents the speedy su- porcudure of steam for motive power. As gas ongiuee grow steadily larger, their margin of economy become* so de cided that it begins to pay to main gas on purpose to bum in them. In the reduction of banxlte. tho re fractory ore of aluminium, it is neces sary to maintain an extreme tempera ture. The melting point of the mineral is high, and only so much of the heat as ranges above that temperature does work. In the mining department of the World’s fair is an exhibit showing how the modern metallurgist rednees alumin ium with new economy. Instead of em ploying the old crucible method and ap plying tho fire from without, ho incloees the ore in a nonconducting bed, and by means of a powerful electric current ap plies tho hent from within. Electric fnruaces of this type now produce bronze and other alloys at prices which steadily fall as their market enlarges. Not fur frum tho mining exhibit at Chicago stands Machinery ball. When its visitors seo one of tho largest steam engines driving machinery with a slack belt, they are wont to express surprise. Ordinary folks today think just what machinists thought a few years ago— that tightness is the effective and indeed tho only feasible condition for belts. But in this case, as in a good many oth ers, the rule of contraries has come, and with profit. Architects as well aa engineer* and metallurgists have found it profitable to go into opposition where some ancient practices have been concerned. In lati tudes of much fall of rain or enow the form of roof which most obviously sug gests itself is the common pitched roof, resembling an A mote orlese broadened. Vexed by bunting rain conductors, by impromptu object leieoni as to the force of avalanches, northern architects take not A, but V, duly Widened, for their roof type. In winter ice and enow, caught ns in a bn sin, eftnhot fall TO the street, li'ichs are banished, and in conductors carried through the heart of the imildir g and kept warm by the building ice is gradually melted without a chance to do damage.—New York Bun. c ov-. v 1 fer Ir.fjrr's ond Chtetreru "Cftttovl* in so weli adapted tocblMrcu th*t C C»«tortihc?imi CrccommciiJ itatinupcrkwtoui.ypnjjcriptioo I ^u r biouu*cii, Diunlio a ..r • mown to me- II.
