THE STovE-PIPE HAT.
How It Is Made and the Most Econom

How It Is Made and the Most Econom-
ical Price to Pay for One.
The high silk hat-the plug, the stove.
pipe, call it what you willis COM
paratively modern institution. About
sixty years ago the silk tile was intro
duced into England from Florence
Since then the stove-pipe has undergone
many strange transformations. The
early silk hat was rough affair. It was
so heavy that the English dudes of that
time complained that lit was like carry
ing bushel basket"
Recently we had talk with prom
inent Broadway manufacturer on the
subject.
Yes, said he, there have been great
Improvements in the methods of making
silk hats. Now, what do you suppose
the body of this one is made OFF, at the
same time holding up glossy silk tile.
We admitted our inability to answer the
question.
well, the body of this silk hat is CAL
leo. You see there are two kinds of silk
hats-light and heavy weight Most of
the bodies OF the heavy hats are made Of
felt The body of the calico or felt is

stretched on block. After drying the
body is stiffened with a solution of gum
shellac and alcohol, and afterward
with coating of varnish to prevent it
striking through the surface. A cover
Of fne silk plush is then cut and sewed
to ht exactly the body. When the silk
covering is accurately fitted it is smooth
ed over with a hot iron. The heat strik-
ing into the glue dissolves 1t and in dry
ing connects the silk plush with the
body, This explains why a severe wet
ting ruins a silk hat
What is your advice about getting
and wearing silk tile?'
well, my advice is, always to get =
hrst-class silk hat. A good silk hat can
not be sold for less than S.. 1t is only
short-sighted economy to buy for S. a
silk hat that looks as well as an IS hat.
The cheap stove-pipe may wear all right
for month or two, but after that time
look out for it. think the time is COM
ing when silk hat will be the onlv
proper thing, you know for everyday
wear, except. perhaps, in summer. At
any rate l sold more silk tiles this spring
than any season since have been in
business. IN. Y. Press.

When one is fatigued and foot sore

rub them with extract of arnica.
Rub black walnut furniture, or any

A round piece cut from worn-out CASH

strong cotton, will strengthen them

A wash of equal parts of glycerine and
Tactic acid will remove moth and freckles
from the face.
The mending of kid gloves shows far
less if done with cotton thread than it
does if done with silk
Iron and polished steel when not in
use, may be kept from rusting by wiping
with cloth on which little kerosene
has been poured.
Grease spots, if old, may be removed
from books by applying a solution of
varying strength of caustic potash upon
the back of the leaf. The printing,
which looks somewhat faded after the
removal of the spot, may be freshened
by the application of mixture of one
part of muriatic acid and twenty-five
parts of water.
The light in sleeping-rooms should

PLuckY HERBERT WARD.
Incidents OF the Explorers Travels
the Congo Country.

Incidents OF the Explorers Travels in
the Congo Country.
Herbert Ward, the explorer, is but
twenty-six years of age, small and COM
pactly built-what one might call a
pocket edition of Hercules. His eyes
are blue and expressive, his manner
modest and retiring, and it is only when
his face lights up in the discussion OF
some interesting topic that one may see
the reserve force and character that
have carried him through all his trials.
Mr.. Ward is an Englishman of wealthy
parents. He had a natural fondness for
adventure, and, as his parents refused
their consent, he ran away to sea.
New Zealand was the first point reach
ed and soon after he went to Australia.
In Borneo he met Hatton, the famous
Bornese explorer, and it was not long
before the two were in the country OF
the head-hunting Dyaks.
Surrounded by high stockade he
could see and hear the Dyaks prowling
| about and often he had narrow escapes
from poisoned arrows that were con
stantly being shot into the stockade.
At Bangalia, where Stanley had his
most serious fight with the natives in
his memorable journey across the Dark
Continent, Ward was finally put in
charge of the station which had Just
| been established there. The BangaIas
are large and powerful tribe, and, in
| addition to being highly savage and fe.
| rocious, are cannibals. They do not
however, eat people of their own tribe
but depend for this sort of luxury upon
| such captives as they can secure, or,
| failing in this, they purchase slaves
from friendly tribes.
This important tribe was governed al
| this time by powerful savage, Mata
| Bwiki by name. At the commencement
of his command of this station Mr. Ward
was forced to undergo the blood broth
erhood ceremony" in conjunction with
the chief. This ceremony, said Mr..
Ward, is common throughout Africa.
An incision is made in the arm of each
of the two participators in it. When
| the blood flows the wounds are sprinkled
with potash, salt, and a powder made
from species of bran. Then the two
incised arms are rubbed together, so
that the flowing blood may intermingle.
This done. the two become blood broth
ers and both swear to assist each other
in times of need. At the end of his
three years of service Mr.. Ward started
for the coast. On reaching Stanley Pool
he heard about the Emin Pasha relief
expedition and that Stanley was coming.
This settled it for him. He would go
with Stanley. A short while afterward
he met Stanley and volunteered his SER
vices. which were accepted, he being ap-
pointed to command over one of the
divisions of the expedition.-N. Y. Her

THE MUSICAL ACCENT.
An Illustration That Was More Persons
Than Pnlffn

An Illustration That Was More Personal
Than Polite.
At trial in the Court of Kings Bench
as to an alleged piracy of the .'old
English Gentleman" one Of the first
witnesses put into the box was Cooke.
Now, sir" said Sir James Scarlett in
his cross-examination of Cooke, .'you
say that the two melodies are identical
but different. What am / to understand
by that, sir?"
What | said," replied Cooke, was
| that the notes in the two arrangements
are the same but with different accent
the one being in common while the
other is in triple time; consequently the
position of the accented notes is differ
ent in the two copies.n
What is a musical accent?- Sir James
fippantly inquired.
My terms for teaching music are a
guinea lesson said Cooke, much to
the merriment Of the court
Il do not want to know your terms for
teaching, said the counsel; 81 want you
to explain to his Lordship and the jury
what Is musical accent. Sir James wax
ed wrcth- Can you see it?" he con-
tinned.
No, was the answer.
