tie room, essentially feminine, delicious
nest Of old lace, blue china, and velvet,

Lady Newen sank down on the softest Of

A Straw Helmet Designed for Men Who

A Straw Helmet Designed for Men Who
Suffer During the Heated Term.
On the fourth floor of a high-roofed
building on Market street is large
room shut off from all promiscuous
callers by stout wooden door. on
which is slip of tin bearing the single
announcement: STRAW Goods" Far
Their down are rudely traced in ink the
letters keep Out and Positively
No Admittance.
Within this room, which idle Curl
osity-hunters are not allowed to enter,
is veritable hive of industry. 1t is
alive and thrObbing, and for ten hours
every working day can be heard the
whizz and tumult of many machines
operated by male and female employees.
Heaps of straw lies in front Of these
machines, straw-dust fills the air and
particles of straw litter the floor like Q
great yellow carpet.
Outsiders are not welcome here on
account of the great danger there Is of
fire, and so highly intlammable are the
surroundings that the utmost pains are
taken against conilagration. 1t is
here where most of the straw hats worn
in the West are made. The establish
ment is one of the largest of its kind in
America.
1--WE started it up little early this
season." said the manager, "because
we contemplate putting some novelties
on the market and anticipate there will
be lively demand for them. We are
especially proud of our new straw he'll
met, which. during bot spells. is bound
to take the place of the ordinary fiat
crowned straw. You see it has this adj
vantage. that it is made to keep off the
suns rays. The fat-crowned straw hat
is a regular target for the rays of the
sun, which used to shine s9uarely upon
the heads of the unfortunate men who
wore it, but our new helmet has a
pointed crown. so made as to prevent
the concentration of the suns rays and
thus guard against an excess of solar
beat. In design the straw helmet will
be something after the fashion of the
cloth helmets worn by the police, only
the border will be wider. so as to keep
the sun off the face. They will be easy
to wear, comfortable. and as they will
look well they are bound to be popu-

Speaking of newspaper advertising,

says: Regular, steady-going business
houses thirty years ago felt something
like shame in advertising their goods
in the newspapers. This feeling has
pretty much worn away. All classes

that the newspaper is the most imper-

The boy asked his comrades to go with

HE that hateth his brother is murderer"
Now, when you. by teasing. make your
brother or sister hate, you turn HIM or her
into o murderer or murderess.
Don't let jealousy ever touch q sisters
soul, as il so often does, because her BROTH
er gets more honor or more means. Even
Miriam. the heroine Of the text, was struck
by that evil passion of jealousy. She had
possessed unlimited influence over Moses,
and now he marries, and not only so, hut
marries black woman from Ethiopia,
and Miriam is so Disguised and
outraged by Moses, first because
he had married at all, and next becaus.
he had practiced miscegenation, that she
is drawn into a frenzy and then begins to
turn white. and gets as white as a corpse,
and then whittier than a corpse. Her COM
plexiOn is like chalk; the fact is, she has
the Egyptian ieprosy. And now the
brother whom she had defended on the
Nile comes to her rescue, in prayer that
brings her restoration. Let there be no
room in all your house for jealousy, either
to sit or stand. 1t is a leprous sbomina-
ton. Your brothers. success, o, sisters,
is your success. His victories will be your
victories. For, while Moses, the brother,
led the vocal music after the crossing
of the Red Sea, Miriam, the sister, with
two glittering sheets Of brass uplifted and
glittering in the sun, led the instrumental
music, clapping the cymbals till the last
frightened neigh of pursuing cavalry
horses was smothered in the wave, and
the last Egyptian helmet went under.
