According to the etiquette of the day, it is not requisite that a man shall re move his hat in the presence of a worn an in a public thoroughfare or convey ance. Nobody thinks of a man’s going bareheaded in a street car or a railroad car or a cab because be is in the com pany of women. The elevator of a business building or of a hotel is cer tainly a public conveyance, and the corridor of a business building or hotel Is certainly a public thoroughfare. Er¬ go, in our opinion, courtesy toward the fair sex does not require a man to re¬ move his hat in either place because there happens ho be a woman present. Having said, however, that courtesy does not require the removal of a man’s hat under the circumstances recounted, we do not mean to disparage in the slightest degree the chivalrous Intent of the man who dOos remove his head covering. If you feel that you ought to take off your hat In an elevator, Co so. If you are uncomfortable with it on, get it off at once. These things are largely matters of comfort. In New York men keep their lints on with a persistence that is somewhat shocking to the southerner. If the man in Gotham 1ms any doubt about, whether he should have his hat in his hand or 011 his head, you will not find it In his hand. He takes as much rope as the law will give him. On the contrary. It has not been very long since It was the proper thing in Charleston for a gentleman to stand with his head uncovered during all the time be was conversing with a lady even If he met her in the street, and there may be, for all we know, hun¬ dreds of stately South Carolinians who observe that pretty but uuliygienic cus¬ tom to this very day. Vlrginln, It will he observed, Is about half way between Charleston and New York. — Norfolk Landmark. KNEW HIS BUSINESS. The I-ittle Boy Was TborosgUy Posted on the Klevator. “Little boy,” exclaimed tbe portly lady, “you ought to be at school In¬ stead of trying to work a lift.” “I’m not trying to work It,” was the answer; “I’m working it, and if you wish to ride I shall be happy to ac¬ commodate you. So far as any obliga¬ tion to be at school Is concerned, allow me to remind you that this Is a legal holiday, and I am exempt from at¬ tendance at an Institution where, lam pleased to say, I am at the head of my class.” “You have no business trying to work that lift, anyhow.” “For what reason?” “Because you are too young to know anything about it.” “Madam, allow me to reassure you. This lift Is worked by hydraulic pres¬ sure, the principle relied on being that water exerts pressure In proportion to the height of a column rather than In proportion to the diameter. In mak¬ ing use of this characteristic water is admitted into a cylinder, the pressure being regulated by the use of valves and a stable equilibrium being made possible by an Ingenious system of counterpoises. 1 could go further into the minutite of this particular machine, which of course has Its variations from other models,” he added as she gasped In astonishment, "but I doubt if you could follow the technical terms whose use an accurate description would necessitate, but I wish to assure you that If, after what I have said, you think you know more about this lift than I do, you are at perfect lib¬ erty to step in and take its manage¬ ment out of my bauds.”—I’earson’s. Went Around the Spot, Before Bismarck reconstructed the map of Europe aud made a united Germany a dozen little principalities used to annoy travelers by stopping them at their frontiers until they had satisfied tbe custom bouse demands. A Yankee once had bis carriage stop¬ ped at the frontier of a petty prince’s country. The Herr Ober (contruleur at the custom house) came forward and, much to his Indignation, was received In a nonchalant way. The Yankee was ungentlemanly enough not to get out of his carriage or even to lake off his bat. Tbe Herr Ober sharply demand¬ ed w'hlch the key ,of the tourist’s trunks, his subordinate began handling roughly. “Here! Hands off!” shouted the Yankee. “I didn't come from the United States of America to be con¬ trolled by you. Put those trunks back. I’ll not go through you at all. I’ll turn back. I’m in no burry and don’t care for losing a day. You’re no country. You’re only a spot. I’ll go around you.” And be did.—London King. A Way Oat uf It. It was a man who opened tbe when tbe book agent rang the bell, a woman stood not far behind him, and subsequent developments there had been a few warm words. “I would like to talk to tbe lady tbe bouse for a few minutes.” said book agent “Oh, that is utterly Impossible,” re¬ plied the man pleasantly. “You may see her If you wish, but you can’t to her for a few minutes—that Is, in cession—unless”—as a happy seemed to strike him—“you both at once.”—Chicago News. Radishes. Radishes originated In China, where they have been cultivated for many centuries and sometimes grow as big as a man’s head.

Host a Grateful Wool Broker He¬ ra me a Millionaire and an Intelli¬ gent Immigrant Became a Tavern Keeper —A Sterjr of New South Wales. One of the most Interesting spots in Sydney is the point iu the famous har JSa.STt Z25.SITS « TJSSSZT2 to have been a favorite resting place of the wife of Governor Macquarie, v,!io represented reprts the British government— also as governor general , of - Australia , , h, In Sydney century.

Not able to ob¬ tain employment, he spent his last shilling In a flslilng line and shark hook and cast off from "Mrs. Macquarie’s chair.” After patiently waiting for some time, another tramp Joined him, and this changed the luck, for be Im¬ mediately got a tine ’'bite.” it took the two all their time to haul the shark ashore, hut when they got him in he proved a beauty 2,t feet 10 Inches long. They cut off his tin—15 shillings' worth In the morning—and, being anx¬ ious to make all they could out of the haul, proceeded to "rob the monster. They had often rend of diamond rings, gold watches nnd pocketfuls of sover¬ eigns being found luside sharks, for, while these fish can digest a man. they are uot able to negotiate metal. Inside, among other things, they found the body of a German, and from the papers lu his pocketbook It was ap¬ parent that he must have been iu Lou¬ don about three weeks before. Indeed, in Ills overcoat pocket there was n copy of a London newspaper dated 20 day* previously. It was In 1870, before tbe cable was laid between Europe and Australia, and tho steamships took over six weeks on the voyage betweeD London nnd Sydney. The paper con¬ tained news of the outbreak of the war between France and Germany, and it was apparent that the German, living In London, had been recalled home to serve In the army of the fatherland had either jumped or fallen overboard in the channel and had been picked up by this great shark, which belonged to the fastest of his species. In the morning the immigrant had a good wash and brush up and a full feed on his 10 shillings, having given 5 to his companion and sent him about his business. He had conceived a great Idea and wished to have as few confederates as possible. Asking a policeman who was the greatest woo', broker lu Sydney and getting the ad¬ dress, he went straight down to the of¬ fice, where his peculiarearnestness soon got him an audience with the busy broker. No one In Sydney at that mo¬ ment dreamed of war between France and Germany, and wool was being sold merrily at nlnepence a pound. "Well, my man, what can 1 do for you?” asked the broker. “I want you to tell me,” said the poor Immigrant, “what the price of wool would be In Sydney should war break out between France and Germany. It Is nlnepence now.” “About 3 to 4 sbilliugs,” said the bro¬ ker. “Very well,” replied the visitor. "Now, the French troops are marching on Berlin, aud what promises to be a long and bloody war has actually be¬ gun.” “Nonsense," said the broker. “The mail from London came in yesterday, bringing news up to six weeks ago, and there is uo news of that wild sort.” The immigrant thereupon unfolded the London paper, dated three weeks previously. There was no humbug over that. There could be no humbug about It, for such a paper could not be produced in Sydney, and besides Its matter gave abundant proof of Its gen¬ uineness. Wool was already 4 shillings a pound on the Loudon market. On the Wool Exchange people thought that broker rand when they saw him buying up all the wool on the market and wiring offers all over the colonies. He made a “corner,” at any rate, pur¬ chased all the wool in Australia and looked happy. Sure enough, In a few weeks’ time out came the news by the mall steamer, and up went prices. The broker sold out for 3 shillings and more a pound and realized some £4,000,000 on the deal. He gave the Intelligent Immigrant an old suit of clothes and a £5 note for his "tip,” and this set the poor chap up In the world, He has got along so well through the lucky stroke that he Is now keeping a public house In Wool loomooloo.—London Free Lance. an Am.

While the first stone of Cologne ca¬ thedral was laid on Aug. 15, 1248, and the body of the edifice was not opened until Aug. 15, 1848, 000 years later to the very day. It was not, however, un¬ til Aug. 15, 1880, that the splendid structure was finally reported complet¬ ed, having thus occupied in building the record time of exactly <332 years. The castle of Kingsgoberg, which stands at the southern extremity of Jutland, took 204 years from the laying of the foundation stone to the rigging of its master's banner on its highest flagstaff. Its foundation stone was the skull of lts^milder’s bitterest enemy. Three moms-: after its laying Count Jhorsing, the bnlldei'Aif the castle, was killed. Uls son was then tu swaddling clothes. He did not continue his fa¬ ther's work until aged 24. On bis twenty-fifth birthday he was thrown Into prison by tbe sou of the man whose skull lay iu the earth of Kingsgoberg's foundation stoue. In this manner master after master of Kingsgoberg was stopped putting an¬ other stoue toward the completion of the founder’s work till civilization in¬ tervened. Restormel castle. In Cornwall, took 90 years to build, of which period ex¬ actly one-third was occupied in exca¬ vating the foundations. The s'did rock upon which It stands is almost as hard as Iron.

MARRIAGE OF HELENE. The Wedding: ot the Daughter of a Concierge la Faria. I opened the door of my tiny flat, and his majesty tho concierge stood there, skullcap lu hand. “Helene Is to marry on Wednesday, monsieur. It is the young man from tho eplcerle next door (I understand now how it was that it always took pretty little Helene 20 minutes to fetch me twopennyworth' of sugar), a brave boy und in a good position. I and the mother of the child, we are both rav¬ ished. And now Helene, nothing will satisfy her but that monsieur shall make the wedding with us. it Is a lib¬ erty I take, but monsieur has known the child quite small, and”— “Not another word,” I cry. “Of course 1 will come.” And, murmuring that I “confounded'' him (the French tongue is rich la these delightful ecccu tricities, for I had been quite polite), M. I’ipelet made his way down to his comfortable lodge again. Wednesday came. At 10 o'clock in the morning 1 was fully attired In all the glories of evening dress, my but¬ tonhole carefully widened to receive the sprig of orange blossou. which— with a kiss on each cheek—I (hould purposely claim from the fair Helene In return for my wishes for her happi¬ ness nnd the little gold wire bracelet with a turquoise heart which I bat sent down to her that mornlug. 1 looked out of the window, nnd when I saw that the carriages were there 1 trotted down stairs and was re ceived in great state by M.

The mines of Klondike should uot tempt me to attempt It, for 1 should uot hope to do It justice. “Forward!” cried Father Pipelet. "Mousieur the tuayoY will be waiting,’’ and with many jokes and much polite making way for one another we enter¬ ed the glass coaches in waiting. They were real glass coaches, mind you, cushioned with fawn colored cushions, trimmed with white, and might have done duty for the pumpkin coach of Cinderella. At the Mairie not only monsieur the mayor but more friends were waiting, and when we left and followed the newly married couple to the Bois (there was no religious ceremony) our seven glass coaches were supplemented by two taplssieres — large black wagon¬ ettes gayly decorated with white satin favors. And’ so to the restaurant. The Jokes on the way were much as other wed¬ ding party jokes, and the breakfast was much as other wadding breakfasts are. Tbe big gendarme came hopeless¬ ly to grief over his speech and kissed a pretty bridesmaid in mistake for the bride. Father Pipelet got rather drunk and pulled the tablecloth into so many imaginary cordons that several glasses suffered badly, and Mme. Pipelet melt¬ ed into tears, although ber pretty daughter was uot to go a,way any far¬ ther than just next door. Then, after the bill was paid, came the real business of the day—the divi¬ sion of the bridal bouquet and the honeymoon. The bridal bouquet and the kisses were^jiven (Helene is espe¬ cially nice to kiss), and all of us climb¬ ed Into the carriages and wagonettes again.

What fun It was, and how the people cheered us as we went! And in the evening, after a dinner that I shudder even now to think about, we drove all round the town, depositing guests as we went, and finally a ionely trio, Mr. and Mrs. Pipelet and I, dropped He¬ lene and her husband at the eplcerle and went next door to bed.—Paris Cor.

M Register, Da \ LIKED THE POORHOUSE. Would Not hoove It to Go For Money Tlist Belonued to Him. “1 won’t go out! I won’t leave here for anything!” Such was the amazing declaration of a pauper attendant In an east end Lon don workhouse on being told by an agent that he was eutltled to some money. And the man—the son of a post captain In the navy—meant all that he said. Not an inch would he budge, nor would he sign any paper, and it was ouiy by taking a commis sloner down to hiui that the fund could be recovered. Whether because It was only a com¬ paratively small sum or whether be¬ cause Us was a worker, the guardians made no claim on it. Accordingly, at his request. It was split, and two ac¬ counts were opened on his behalf In the PostotBce Savings bank. But, for a/1 that, he continued to remain lu the workhouse. Meanwhile he was very anxious that his wife should not know he was allvs —In fact, he denied that he was mar¬ ried. His life partner, however, called at the agent’s office to inquire about the case, though she begged that her husband might not be told of her whereabouts. She was In a fairly good position, earning as she did a liv¬ ing by keeping a ladies’ school, and once or twice her reprobate husband had turned up in an intoxicated condi¬ tion and raised a commotion that bad scandalized her pupils. The ill sorted pair were, therefore, not brought into communication. Never would the pauper legatee leave the workhouse. He remained there till his death, whereupon, having left no will, the money he had scorned to use passed to his wife.—Cassell’s Saturday Journal. American Humor. In his book, “America Today,” Wil¬ liam Archer reproduces the following as examples of American humor: “On board one of the Florida steam¬ boats, which have to be built with ex¬ ceedingly light draft to get over the frequent shallows of the rivers, an Englishman accosted the captain with the remark. .‘I understand, captain, that you think nothing of steaming across a meadow where there’s been a heavy fall of dew.’ ‘Well, I don’t know about that,’ replied the captain, ‘but it’s true we have sometimes to send a man ahead with a watering pot.’ “Again, a southern colonel was con¬ ducted to the theater to see Salvinl’s *0016110.’ He witnessed the perform¬ ance gravely and remarked at the close, 'That was a mighty good show, and I don't see but the coon did as well as any of 'em.’ “A third anecdote that charmed me was that of the man who, being In¬ vited to take a drink replied, ‘No* no, I solemnly promised my dear, dead moth¬ er never to touch a drop; besides, boys, It's too eariy in tbe morning; besides, I’ve Just had one.’ ” He Came at Last. “John,” exclaimed the nervous woman, “there’s a burglar In the bouse. I’m sure of It.” John rubbed his eyes and protested mildly that U was imagination. “No It Isn’t; I heard a man down stairs.” So John took a box of matches and went down. To his surprise his wife’s suspicions were correct. Seeing that he was unarmed, the burglar covered him with a revolver and became quite sociable. “Isn’t It rather late to be out of bed?” he remarked. “A—er—a little bit,” replied John. “You’re too late, anyhow, because I’ve dropped everything out of the window and my pals have carried it off.” "Ob, that’s all right. I’d like to ask one favor of you, though.” “What is It?” “Stay here till my wife can come down and se© you.
