SOCIETY.
Th* theater-goers have only a few
more words to say to hat-wearers. Of
course the public thanks the Savannah
ladies individually for not wearing ob
noxious hats, the reform has been quick,
successful and complete, except for a
very few who linger with old fogy ideas
and sit themselves down in large, plum
ed. decked, and supposed-to-he-becomtng
hats. They appear unconscious of the
comment they Create and of the critl
cisfm that follows thick and heavy. As
one large woman sank into her chatr,
with a velvet affair on her head resem
bling a tin tub, as far as beauty was con
cerned, witn bristling projectings of
feathers and ribbons, remarks something
like tjits WetT heard by the people sit
ting behind her: "She has evidently been
In Savannah all her life and does not
know any better”; "Then she can look
in the partiner and see that there are no
hats, only a slight head covering or none
at all.”
A man with a bristling red head and a
tbothplck Itt his mouth was giving bent
to something like this: “She doesn’t
know old fashions, from new, even I
know better than to wear a thing like
that on my head.” Hut the large woman
sat demurely through the play, enjoy
ing her beautiful new hat, as much us
the acting.
There are few anglomaniaes In Savan
nah, but the English custom is better
than ours, of prohibiting ladies to en
ter the theater hatted. Also of prohibi
ting men to enter after the curtain has
gone up. If they are not within the
theater by a certain signal, they remain
outside in the foyer, and entertain them
* selves as best they can and do better
next time.
Thu Savannah Operatic Association wilt
be one of the season’s social distractions.
Rehearsals are soon to begin on a popular
opera and again home actors will oe seen
by an appreciative audience. Ermine and
Robin Hood ale suggested us popular
operas and it Is probable that one of these
will be played. Among the leading rules
to be taken by Savannah people, some
of them will be filled by Mrs. TVlekenburg,
Mr. Blois, Mr. Albert Moyer and Mr.
Reeves. The rehearsals for the opera fig
ure largely amvng soeial amusements. The
participants “kick,” of course, but they
make the best ot it, and the young people
rutner enjoy the frequent informal meet
ings.
The Music Culture Club lias Issued Its
book of season tickets and presents an
interesting programme to the subscribers.
This club fills a long-felt want in Sa
vannah, wheYe the facilities for hearing
good music have been few. Now, how
ever. the concerts in view will no doubt
be above the average affair of that kind.
Society en masse turned out to see Bur
falo Bill last Thursday evening. The
•exciting conglomeration ol nations amt
feats was witnessed by a like conglomer
ation of society swells and cheap-tobac
co-snioking loughs and toughs. All en
thusiastically applauded the best riders
and shooters, aim the same good-natured
noisy spirit of having a "good time” was
running high with the mixed audience
as is generally an indespensable feature
of the eif-eus crowd. The übiquitous
small boy With his large whistle was ir
repressible as usual, and only the sight
Of the ponderous bison and buffalos could
for a minute subdue tiis boisterous ap
proval. The penetrating fumes of the
most pronounced two-for-a-nickcl cigars
rivaled the clouds of dust in and about
the amphitheater. It was rumored that
one ot society's favorites was riding a
bucking broncho; if this be t>hie, he prob
ably spent the next day on a divan among
its luxurious pillows, for the exercise was
something terrific for one out of prac
tice.
The programme for the Lyceum is made
up for the winter's season, and the pleas

In the amusement line and it will no doubt
be more popular this year, since it nas

A DOG’S PASSION FOR BOLLS.
He Filially Developed Tendencies of
n Piratical Character.
From St. James Gazette.
The latest sensation in Birmingham :s
the doll-snatching dog. The animal is the
property of a lady who resides at Small
Heath, and some time ago one of her little
girls was very fond of Inducing the dog
to carry her doll, and the animal acquired
quite a passion for relieving the child of
her precious charge. The dog would earrv
tae doll about for hours, and oftentimes
take it to his kennel and iie down beside
it for the greater part of the day. He
never harmed the doll, always gripping
its clothes, ami not defacing it in the
slightest. Up to a certain point Its ten
dencies were productive of unadulterated
fun, and so popular did the dog become
that the children of the neighborhood fre
quently came to Its owner’s house with
the query. "Please, Mrs. , can your dog
come and take my doll a walk?”
But by degrees the animal's healthy af
fection for dolls developed into an abso
lute passion, and now a more unpopular
quadruped does not exist in the whole
suburb. Not content with carrying a doll
when requested to do so. the animal com
menced' to prowl about the neighborhood
ana forcibly deprive stray children of their
treasured pets. Whenever and wherever
he saw a <|pll in a child's arms he would
stealthily walk up to her, seize the prize
and run off with it to his kennel. In a
single day he has been known to bring
four captives home, and the maternal in
dignation of the neighborhood is some
thing terrible to contemplate. If that dog
does not mend his ways shortlv ids caroer
he prematurely closed. The animal
should be engaged at Christmas time in
the interest of the Children's hospital' he
would scon provide dolls for all the’ in
mates.

THE SOARING OF 111 HUS.
A Scientific Explanation of Tills Sur
prising Achievement.
Hiram S. Maxim, in the North American
Review.
The soaring of a bird may be compared
with a boy sliding down hill on a sled. If
a hill is, say, 100 feet high, and the sides
slope off In a horizontal direction 2,000 feet
from the summit, and if the snow is
smooth, a boy can mount a sled and ad
vance 2,000 feet while he is falling, os re
lates to the earth, 100 feet; that Is, the sled
with the boy on it In fulling through a dis
tance of one foot develops sufficient power
to drive the sled forward twenty feet, but
when the. boy Is at the bottom of the hill
and can develop no more power by falling,
the sled sooh comes to a state of rest. Sup
pose, now, that a hill could be made in such
a manner that It Mould constantly rise at
such a velocity that the sled would never
reach the bottom of the hill, the boy would
then be Able to slide forever, and this is
exactly what occurs with a bird.
A bird places its wings In such a position
that, as it falls in the air, say one foot, It
moves forward through the air twenty
feet; that is, it slides along on the surface
of the air underneath its wings in the same
manner that th ■ boy slides down the hill.
Supiwso, now that the Velocity of the bird
should be about thirty miles an hour, this
would account for the whole phenomenon
of soaring on an upward current of only
one and one-half miles an hour. With ah
upward current of two miles an hour the
bird would rise, as relates to the earth,
one-half a mile an hour while actually fall
ing tiirough the air at the rate of one and
one-half inlles on hour. There is no doubt
that a bird, by some very delicate sense of
feeling and touch, is able to ascertain
whether it is falling or rising In the air.
it is welj-known that fish have this pew
er. If a surface tish sinks too deeply in the
water the compression of its swim blad
der produces a sensation or Impression
upon its brain, which causes the fish to
change its course, and relieves the press
ure by coming nearer to the surface, and
a similar thing is true of the deep sea tish.
If they approach the surface their swim
bladder becomes enormously distended,
and no. doubt produces a sensation which
the fish know Is relieved by again sink
ing into, very deep water. If these fish are
caught and rawn to the surface, the dis
tension of the swim bladder becomes so
great that It displaces all the other or
gans of. the body.
In all probability the numerous air cells
which are found in the body of a bird arc
provided with delicate nerves, which oper
ate in a similar manner to those of the
swim bladder of a fish, so that as the bird
Is moving forward through the air it in
able to taJtc advantage of a rising column
of air. Asa whole, we may consider that
the risuig column of air would be half of
the total area of the earth's surface, so
that a soaring bird wquld always have ris
ing columns of air which would serve as
a support.

Trainer* of Animals Run Risks in
Appearing In Them.
Nineteenth Century.
“It is a strange thing.” said a well
known trainer of animals, “how many
outbreaks and accidents have resulted
from a trainer wearing a strange cos
tume. Quite recently a lady performer
who had made many alterations in her
dress had a narrow escape. The tiger
with whom she usually appeared turned
sulky from the start, and at iast abso
lutely refused to do one of his tricks.
Its mistress urged and threatened to no
purpose, and finally attempted to use the
whip. The moment she attempted to do
so the infuriated animal flew at her, ahd it
it had not been for a boarhound which
was performing with them, Miss S
would probably have lost her life. The
brave dog snapped at the tiger and dis
tracted its attention until his mistress
had succeeded in making her escape. Un
fortunately, lie was injured by the tiger's
claws.”
“How do you account for such out
bursts ?”
“The tiger evidently did not recognize
his mistress in her, change of costume.
AS a rule, very few alterations are made.
The same dog always appears in the same
act, and so on, the idea of acquaintance
ship and familiarity thus being main
tained. Why. even if a hat or a wrap
happens to lie within reach outside the
arena, the animal is sure to see it at once,
and if it can get at it will promptly tear
it to pieces.”
"Have there been any such accidents
recently?”
"About a year ago a lion tamer in New
fork wore a full-dress suit instead of his
usual military costume at one of the per
formances. As soon as the lion saw the
change of clothing he made direct at him.
Now lions do not, like tigers, try to kill
instantly, but strike out with their paws
to knock their enemy down. In this case
the lion's claws caught the trainer's face,
inijietlng severe injuries. But he is still
at the business, though the scars of the
struggle are very plainly visible.”
“Do these outbursts ever have fatal re
sults'.”'
"Sometimes. Another lady, performer
made an alteration in her dress that dis
pleased the tiger with wlicm she was act
ing. w-hereupon the savage beast pounced
u P° n her. killing her instantly This ani
mal lias never been allowed to perform
since.

AN ODD NEGRO COLONY.
Thirty Bachelors W ho Dwell In an
Old-Time Pennsylvania Town.
From the Philadelphia Times.
No one passing along Germantown ave
nue where it crosses Broad street can fail
to observe the dilapidated old building
which stands some distance back from
the street on the 1 southwest corner of
Broad street and Germantown avenue.
The house presents a striking appearance
on account of its pretentiousness. It is
built of stone, three stories in hight, with
a wide-spreading porch extending the full
length of the building and carried around
on tne side.
The old mansion was built between sev
enty-five and a hundred years ago for inn
purposes. Prom the time of Us erection
and for forty or fifty years afterward it
was tho only hostelry between the city
proper and Germantpspii atjd, consequent
ly, a very popular roadhouse. It.-- con
venience to Broad street made it one of
the greatest resorts in old times for
sleighing parties-from the city, who would
drive out there on cold winter evi nlngs
for a good supper and something hot and
strong to quench the thirst and warm
the inner man.
Several years ago the property was
purchased by F. G. Palmer and Gecrgu
A. Rice for 4106,000. It was given out at
the time that Messrs. Palmer and Bice
Intended to construct a large manufac
tory on the property, but up to the pres
ent date this has not been done/ and *ho
house is now occupied by about thirty
young colored' men. who have formed a
kind of community among themselves in
this old building.
These men rent their rooms separately
from the owners of the property. Some
club together to pay this rent, three or
four living in one room, while others who
are more prosperous occupy and pay for
a room for themselves. The men are all
employed in various occupations in the
vicinity of the building where they re
side, and the majority of them earn good
wages. If one man happens to get out
of work, if popular with the rest, he is
usually assisted by the crowd to pay his
board until he can secure work again,
when he is expected to reimburse those
who have helped him.
Asa rule the cooking for the crowd Is
done by one man, who is delegated by lot
or some suen arrangement to cook for
the household for a week. The men all
buy their own food, which is prepared
for them to their liking. Among ti.e ap
pointments of the house is a chapel, where
service is hell every Sunday, a colored
preacher being brought out from the city
for the purpose. There is a barber shop
also in the house and an cyster saloon,
where the men, when particularly Hush,
can regale themsolvew on a. stew mad©
of the choicest bivalves.
FORGOTTEN HER MAIDEN NAME.
Cnrlona Exhibition of Absen t-Minrt
edne Shown in the SiirrojtateN
Office.
From the Now York Tribune.
Inability to remember flames is a failing
common to a great many people. There
are varying degrees of the malady, cf
course, but nearly every one has had
the experience of going to call upon one
of his most intimate friends, and sudden
ly, as he ascended the steps and was
about to ring the bell, finding himself ut
terly unable to recall the name of the
person he was to ask for. This perform
ance, however, has been completely dis
tanced by the feat of Mrs. S—, who lives
uptown and new holds the palm among
her acquaintances for this sort of ab
sent-mindedness.
On the occasion of the death of a dis
tant relative recently, she was obliged to
go down to the surrogate’s court to at
tend to some business regarding the will.
In the course of the proceedings it be
came necessary for her to sign her maid?n
name to the document in question. The
clerk handed her the pen. told her where
the signature was to be affixed, and stood
waiting for her to comply. But Mrs. S—-
seemed stunned at the request. She stared
blankly at the young man before her
and then at the paper, but made no mo
tion toward writing, and said not a word.
"Just sign your maiden name, you
know’.” repeated the clerk, thinking she
had in some way misunderstood.
Mrs. S knew oniy too well what he
had said, but was no more able to execute
the task than the young man himself
would have been. She had been marrit 1
twice, and it is a long time since she has
had occasion to use the name to which
she was born.
“I—l—really don’t remember it,” she
gasped in an agony of embarrassment to
the astonished clerk; "I shall have to go
home and find out,” and she disappeared
through the door with all the haste at her
command.
In telling the story afterward she sail
that she paced up and down the street in
front of that office for at least ten min
utes, cudgeling her brains in a vain ef
fort to recall the lost name and w r as
finally obliged to go home, as she haj
proposed, and look it up in an old book
which had belonged to her when a girl.
