A Tooth Worth, a Million.

A charming road of seventy four miles
carries the traveller to Handy, the ancient
Singalese capital of the country. This is
picturesque place. with some beautiful
views, residence Of the governor and q
Buddhist temple, where, in a wonderfully
rich shrine, one of Gautama's teeth Is
kept This is one of the treasures Of the
Light Of Asia" for which. it is said, the
king of Siam offered 1000, 900 rupees not
long since, but in vain The priests hav
ing it in their care are said to be among
the most intelligent and learned Of the
eastern craft. and possess much Budd
histic lore Of great antiquity and value
One Of the attendants informed me with
much pride that Edwin Arnold worshiped
at the shrine when last in Ceylon. can
not say that Edwin is Buddhist. but his
writing gs show him quite as deeply i'm
bued with reverence for Gautama as for
him we Of the west claim to be the Lord.
One cannot talk with the intelligent peo-
pie at this temple without being impressed
with the fact that their creed rests with
them upon enlightened faith. and not
upon blind superstition. The priests, too
wear an expression of calm dignity ut

A Joker Comes to 7r,ek

Joker Comes to Grtek
They are laughing In one coterie about
Z young fellow who has come to disaster
through being at once Joker with the
boys and a masher with the girls In the
former capacity be IL ingenious and ex
pert in playing tricks upon his fellows at
the club His latest device was what he
called the goblin squirt. It consisted
Of scarf pin, the form Of which was q
comic face, calculated to make the oh
server look close at it, and this was at
under his shirt bosom The practical
working OF this invention was to press on
the little tank at the instant when some
curious friend had his face close to the
pin and thus eject tiny stream Of water
upon him Possibly there was no great
wit in this joke. but the chap enjoyed it
very much The mistake that he made

sat alongside her on not too capacious
sofa They were In some sentimental con

far enough away from tho scarf pin to
satisfy the demands Of propriety. and yet
it was near by when he placed his hand
with passionate gesture on his heart.

WHY HATS TURN YELLOW.

When the rolls reach the manufacturer
in this country the braids are slightly
moistened and then sown together, begin
ming at the crown and working round
until the whole is finished On the top
floor Of the straw works are the sulphur
rooms, where some of the hats are bleached.
It Is found that nature or science has pro-
vided nothing so powerful in this regard
as the sun. and all the sulphur baths and
other processes of bleaching are not com
parable with q sun bath. Ladies often
feel disappointed because their straw hats
turn yellow, but this Is the natural result
Of sulphur bleached goods Such thing
never happens after sun bleaching When
practicable and the weather permits this
latter process is used at all the works, and
on fine day rows of hats may be seen on
the roof undergoing whitening by the
operation Of the SUMS rays. After being
dipped in French glue they are placed in
drying room where the temperature is
about 115 degs. and where the moisture Is
extracted by means of rapidly revolving
fans. driven at high speed This leaves
the hat in a very pliable condition.
The blocking process is next in order.
Looking at numbered tag which has
been previously sewed inside, the work
man places tno naI on C0c proper sLeAm
heated sectional expanding metal block
and presses it into the required size and
shape. This blocking machine was in
then placed on solid metal dies CORES
ponding in size to the blocks above men
toned, and subjected to powerful hy-
draulic pressure, which gives it its proper
form II for men and boys. the sweat
band Is then sewn in and meanwhile the
lace tip for the interior Of tho crown is
prepared by an ingenious machine which
has an attachment for cutting 1t the ex.
act shape and size as well as for sewing.
Putting on the band. the only process re-
quiring handiwork in the making of these
goods. is the last operation, and the hat
Is finished ready for boxing and ship
