The Palmetto Hat.

The palmetto hat is going out OF
fashion aud you rarely see one on the
street now, ever on the head Of the most
old-fashioned SoutherneT, said ast. Louis
halter the other day. Yet there was q
time, and that not ten years ago, when
every gentleman thought that. to sustain
his dignity, be had to wear 9 palmetto
hat in the summer. The fact is, that in
spite Of their light and cool appearance,
the palmetto hats were the hottest cover
ing that a perspiring man ever interposed
between his head and the burning rays Of
the IN. White starched shirts ON q hot
day don't compare to a palmetto hat fol
discomfort. The straw is s closely
woven that not a particle OF al gets to
the hair, and as soon as people began to
get ideas in their heads about common
sense clothing for summer they began to
look with disfavot upon the palmetto
hat. Besides, the hats are exceedingly
expensive. The cost of q good one is
$25 to begin with. and IN order to have
It in good condition you must pay several
dollars every summer to have Il reshaped
and the straw whitened.

unlike magpies, with their black and

upon their heads. But more curious
still Is the raotlnot, or pendulum bird, "
presented To the society last month By
Dr. Seton. It's pathological natne il
Monotas s~ubrufeseens, and it is q native
of Colombia. In size it is rather larger
than d missed thrush and it derives It's
second name from its habit of moving its
tail from side to side with clockwork
regularity when pleased and conterted
Il shares with the barpet, to whose family
Il is closely allied, tho distinction Of being
the only bird which wilfully martilates
itself, There is Ii every one Of these
birds an inch or So bare Of feathers to-

"sorne idea of the simple frugaiity OF
The peasantry of these remote islands can
Sc gathered from the fact that the old
gardener who had charge Of the hotel
garden received thirty cents a day, and
he had a wife and ten children who shared
Ills income. A good searnstress receives
thirty cents and a laundress twenty-five
cents a day. AS far as cheap and faith
fuI service is concerned these islands are
certainly q Veritable Eldorado.
aAnother attraction is the charming
climate, which varies but q few degrees
from January to December, save when
the .leste' or hot wind from Africa
sweeps over the islands, as It does oc-
casionally. Thoee was one of these winds

and terrifcally hot blast began to blow.

and the soft, perfume laden air, the Eden
ike simplicity and the old-time frugality
which prevail, the cheap and casily-ob-
tanned service, the beautiful scenery and
ocean-bound quiet make these islands IL

"a trip to the Azores on a sailing YES
eel offers the seeker of recuperation ONE
thing wholly unhackneyed ard also q
larger amount of outing for his money
than he could get in almost any other
direction, said Colonel John G. Bundy
in speaking Of q twenty-one days sail
which be took, shipping from New

passengers Of these sailing vessels are
usually a half dozen invalids who are
seeking the health which they have
failed to find ON land. and a few Portu-
| g1Iese, natives of the Azores, in the
steerage, who having made their stake
are returning to their homes to enjoy a
life OF af1uenee. The amount which
makes them nabobs in their native isles
Is from $500 to $1,000. and having ac-
IIauired this sum their ambition il wholly

bloom to the square inch.
TT is a singular fact that although
there are those constantly returning who
have been IN touch with the world be-
gond these queer little islands, they
make no effort TO alter anything when
they return and, possessed with the
spirit Of content, which has It's abiding

Seated in state IN this unique carriage we
were hauled up to the hotel. Even moro
out of the common than this unusual
conveyance was the way we made the
ascent and descent OF Mount Church.
There were seven Of us, and we had three
hammocks and two sledgcs, together
with six bulIocks and fifteen men to get
us up and back. The men conveyed the
hamraocks, in which q part OF the party
preferred to go, and the bullocks hauled
the sledges. The view was magnificent
all the way, and among other things as
we were making the ascent we saw 3
queer bit Of harvesting. A woman and
three children were carefully pulling UP
the ripened gram. one stalk at a time.
We all returned in sledges, and this was
the odd and interesting part Of our trip.
We came down as children ride down
hill in the winter time, only we came
over a stone pavement at such q rate that
the burning runners left q line Of smoke
behind them. The sledges wore guided
by men on either side, who, when ii was
not very steep, ran beside the sledge, and
when the descent was more precipitous
