The Art of Dressing.
No man can be well dressed with a
shabby hat. In every other respect his
outfit may be perfect, but a deficiency in
this particular will aggravatingly dete
riorate from his appearance. A knowl
edge of this fact, and an arrangement of
the toilet accordingly, is one of the great
secrets of nest and perfect dressing, and
to this many who are taken as
heir models
suc
,
by their acquaintances, owe t
eras. This truth thus recognized, wish t o
w it then
becomesa question with all who
appear.well where a suitable article can
be procured, a question which in Pitts
is easily answered by the existence of
that unrivalled hat and cap emporium,
RaMatey's Parlor, No. 22 Fifth avenue.
At this establishment everything in
the
line of the business may ba found, theflatest styles and always in season; be
sides which tbe prices naked for, to all
who wish to purchase cheaply, without
being swindled, are additional attrac.
dons. At present Nir. Ratnaley has
the in
store a new st o ck just purchased tor
fall trade, to which attention is especially
invited. The assortment is very large,
and none can fail to be suited in a selec
tion.

A Valuable work.
We cannot well see how our people
could afford to spare from our serial
'publications, the Pittsburgh Real Estate
Register, one of the most important
auxiliaries to real estate transactions
imaginable, published by Croft &
Phillips, No. 188 Fourth avenue. It is a
complete compendium and description
of the large lot and parcels of land and
real estate which this reliable and enter
prising firm have on hand for sale from
time to time, and besides better shad
ows 'Abe condition of the market in
houses and lands than all the combined

and deservedly so too, for their vast buai

manner as to merit the fullest degree of

A Joily Double Header.
All the stories told of the Siamese
Twins hardly equal this of the famous
Scotch double man, of whom the follow
ing curious account is given in
the Th
rum Seotinrum itishforia : "During the
reign of James the Third, of Scotland,
and at his court, their lived a man, dou
ble above the waist, single below that
region. The King caused him to be car e
fully brought up. He rapidly acquired a
knowledge of music. The two heads
learned several languages ; they debated
togetht r, an h t. They pper halves ones
sionly foug lived, generally
however, ln the greatest harmony.
'When the lower part of the body was
tickled, the two viduals felt it to
gather, ; but when, on the other hand,
one of the upper individuals was touched,
he alone felt the effect. This monstrous
being died at the age of 28 years. One
of the bodies died several days before
the other."
