Indeed, hats are almost without dents, quite in contrast to the shapes •I the pest season. This is especially true of felts, which, as a rule, are stiff, straight and severe. Oftentimes there is no brim at all—only softened a very the high, pouted crown, st base by huge bows of trimming. largely Jet and steel ornaments are used; cut steal ornaments and buckles will lend the style this winter. Bead buckles will also be in great favor.

The large resef voir of the Tecumseh Iron Works, at Teetunseh, Cherokee county, Ala,, caved in, causing its en¬ tire destruction. The loss is $5,000. Governor Turney, of Tennessee, has offered a reward of $200 for the con¬ viction of the persons who wrecked the Washington limited near Bristol, a few days ago. There was a wholesale jail delivery in Gadsden, Ala., Sunday night. At about 8 o’clock the jailer went in to lock up the prisoners, when he only fonnd fonr men to lock up, and on in¬ vestigation he discovered that eight men had gone. After a three-days’ trial at Memphis, Mo., W. E. Daniel, the informer in the Santa Fe hold-up caee, was bound over to the grand jury in $1,500, which bond he gave.

At a largely attended meeting of the Pensacola, Fla., Chamber of Com¬ merce, attended by representatives of the various labor and other organiza¬ tions, a resolution was unanimously adopted declaring in favor of making Pensaoola a free port, and expressing a desire to have tbe quarantine station placed under control of the marine hospital service.

COTTON 18 SHORT. A Decline of Over Three Points From September. Returns to the statistical division of the department of agriculture for the month of October, make cotton show a decline of 3.2 points from its Septem¬ ber condition, which was 85.9, as against 82.7 lor the present month. The condition of cotton in June was 88.3, in Jnly 89.6, rising to 91.8 in' August. The lessened prospective yield in the states of North Carolina and South Carolina is dne, in part, to the storm which occurred in the latter part of September. For the most part, how¬ ever, the decline in the condition through the cotton belt is due to con¬ tinued rains that began about the mid¬ dle of August and extended into Sep¬ tember. There iB much of shedding, rot and just reported, as a conse quenoe and in addition no little loss from insect ravages, particularly the boll worm. Texaa is the only exception to the general falling off in condition, that state having gained fonr points, not¬ withstanding the excessive rainfall in some parts of the state.

When young New Englanders in the early dSys of the colony wished to en ter the state of matrimony did not find it any too easy work, first place, no young man would “make a motion of marriage” to any young woman whose fair face or deft fingers or sweet disposition affections had withont attracted his fancy or his first ob¬ taining the consent of the fair one’s father or guardian to thus address her. He was liable to arrest, fine or impris¬ onment if he spoke to her first and thus “inveigled her affections.” Many a bold and headstrong swain was punished for that natural offense in early days, and I doubt not many another slyly inveigled, unpunished and undiscovered, in order to find ont from her own lips the state of af¬ fection borne toward him by the one he loved. It most h^ve been some¬ what of a damper on lovemaking to have to make such a formal beginning, but there was no lack of marriages. Indeed, single persons were much scorned in the Puritan community. “Ancient maids” were few and much to be pitied. Bachelors were looked upon with open disfavor, were not al¬ lowed to live alone and sometimes had to pay a weekly fine to the town as long as they remained single. With all these penalties it was plain that all would seek to marry early in life.— Ladies' Home Journal. Nickel Steel the Coming Metal. Though nickel was used for coins two centuries before Christ, it is only recently that the discovery of the re¬ markable properties of its alloy with steel has brought it into general tensile com¬ mercial prominence. The strength of this alloy—nearly one-fifth greater than that of ordinary steel, while its ductility remains the same— will doubtless cause it to supplant common steel in many places where great strength is required. For in¬ stance, the American Atlantic liner PariB has been supplied with a spare length of shafting of this alloy. It is said that this casting has a tensile strength of about 90,000 pounds, thus leaving existing British or German steel shafts quite a respectable distance in the rear. The production of nickel has increased within ten years from 1,000 tons per annum to over 5,000 tons, while before 1876 not more than 600 tons were produced notioeable in any increase one year. The most has been in the manufacture of nickel steel, ostensibly for armor plates and guns, bnt it iB not likely that its ubo will stop here, especially as the price tends steadily downward .—Age Steel. . Liquids in Equilibrium. — Here is an interesting feat of color¬ blending which can be performed all the at the dinner table, where visually ingredients can be found. A tall, narrow stem glass is the best. Four funnels are made of cardboard, the ends being turned lover so as to form a spout-like arrangement. poured into The first liquid which is the glass is cold black coffee, well sweetened. After this the funnels are nsed. A like quantity of water oomes next, which is poured through a funnel, the bended edge of which is held close to the edge of the glass. For third claret iB used, olive oil for the fourth and alcohol last. All the liquids arc poured in as described through the separate funnels. Each of these liq¬ uids floats on top of the other, for each is specifically lighter in weight than the preceding one. The liquids will remain in repose as long as the glass is not moved. The secret lies in the oarefnl pouring in of the liquids through tbe paper funnels.
