Changes in Style That the London
Hatters Are Considering.
The question whether the tail hat
shall become taller is now being anx-
iously debated by the half dozen west
end hatters who rule the fashion, and
several of them luwe almost decided to
take a step in that direction by an in-
crease of • one -sixteenth of an inch in
height.

hatter, "is never violent or conspicuous

THREE MEN IN
THE SAME TROUBLE
A Voluntary Statement by a Justice of
the Peace Showing How Consump-
tion is Being Cured by Psychine.
There are
themselves or some of their friends,
few people who, either
are not suffering from some form of
throat, chest, or lung or stomach
trouble. To such the following vol-
untary letter, written front a sense
of duty, to those who are suffering
from these troubles, will bring en-
couragement and help. It is a
source of comfort to know that there
is one remedy which, after all others
have failed, and the physician's skill
has been exhausted, can always be
relied on to bring help and relief
to the suffering, and restore. health
and vigor.
Dr, T. A. Slocum, Limited:
Gentlemen, --I feel it my duty to
advise you of the remarkable cures
effected by your Psychine and Oxo-
mulsion which have dome under my
personal observation.. Three men,
well known to me, Albert Townsend,
Hazen Hipson anal John McKay, all
of Shelburne County, were pronounc-
ed by the best medical men to have
consumption and to be incurable and
beyond the reach of medical aid.
They used Psychine and Qxomulsion
and they are now in good health
I feel it a:.duty' I owe to suffering
1 umanity to. state these facts for the
benefit of other sufferers from this
terrible disease. Yours very truly,

VOLCANIC POWER.
Italian Eangineer Plans to Use Steam
From the Globe's Interior.
So much has been said regarding
the dangers of destroying the pictur-
esque beauty of the great falls of the
Niagara River by using the enormous
mass of water as a power producer, that
an engineer who turns 'Iiia attention to
t•the inner fires of the earth may be
regarded as a sort of scientific saviour
of society. Pieturas have been published'
showing the condition to which Niagara
will be reduced in a single decade of
years, and the satirist and the sentimen-
talist have joined 1/ands in attaoks up-
on the sordid commercialism which des-
troys what nature intended to be indes-
tructible.
But voleanoea, though picturesque, are
not so alluring as waterfalls, and might
be utilized to almost any extent for
practical purposes without f ear of a
publie protest. An Italian engineer, a
native of Tuscany, purposes to attempt
this feat on a large wale. He has made
a olose observation of the temperatures,
of a steam issuing from the saffoni,
and has found that during the past ten
years or so the temperature has scarcely
altered, nor has the amount of steam
altered, nor has the amount of steams
varied much in quantity. The steam
rises thirty and occasionally ninety feet,
the tera•pereture ranging from two hun-
dred and fifty degrees to two hundred
and eighty degrees Fahrenheit.
This ingenious Italian has already suc-
ceeded in harnessing the energy fur the
operation of s small steam engine, to
which a dynamo was connected, and is
confident of far greater achievements.
fie is now making endeavors to drive a
turbine with the steam issuing from
three large saffoni. representing an ag-
gregate of some four thousand horse-
power. If these first reports are to be
accepted as accurate, it would seem that
in the near future a new unit of en-
ergy will be created—namely, volcanic
power.

Ireland in 1846 sent the ' immigration

eountry's history, and when the abor-
tive insurrections in Austria, Hungary,
Prussia, Bavaria, and other European
countries -in 1848-49 re -enforced the
Irish inpour and sent the immigration
above the 300,000 line in 1850, and above

grican party, polled 875,000 votes for
Fillmore for President in 1856. The Civil

many soldiers as possible from all ele-

Howard Carroll, of Denver. whoe,

to the Democratic Natonal Ucnveution to

in the victory of that city over Chicago

course of his speech.
"An old miner boarded a train at
Denver one day to go to Pueblo," he
said. "When the conductor came around
the man inquired how far it was from
Denver to his destination. He was told
about 130 miles.
"Well, how far is it from Pueblo to
Denver, then?" was the next question.
"If it is 130 miles from Denver to
Pueblo it must be 130 from Pueblo to
Denver," refilled the conductor, somewhat
testily.
