straw Hats for summer Wear.

There has always been a demand for
straw hats, but within the last two years
they have been worn very much more
than they even We're before. Whether or
not this change came as a result of the
greatly increased number of fancy fan
mel shirts worn it is evident that men
now are moro considerate of their com
fort than used to be their habit.
Yes" said the travelling salesman of a
leading house, I'VE expect that the sale
of straw hats will be a very large one
this summer. Indeed, it certainly will
be if the dealers can feretell their Gus
toners Wishes at all. The yachting shape,
withits stiff brim, will be the leader, and
that worn by those who care for their APP
p~earance as well as their comfort. The
white will be the favorite and the best.
The band will be rather wide, and black
mainly. The white or colored bands have
been quite in vogue in the past, but l do
not think they will be as much worm
hereafter.'-New York Herald.

The mammoth new dry dock at the
Brooklyn navy yard is to be tested this
month in the presence Of Secretary Ira
cy. 1t is said to be n of the largest
dry docks in the world. 1t cost some
thing like 5000, 600, and is over 500 feet
long, 1874 feet 4 inches wide at the top,
so feet wide at the bottom and 50 feet s
inches deep. Underneath the entire
dock, length and breadth, there is a solid
foundation Of concrete, six feet in thick
ness, and beneath this q supporting floor
of piling. The keel track is built or oak
en- timbers 3 10 feet long and % inches
wide, at adistance of fourfeet apart, Be-
tween each two timber there Is a pit two
feet in depth, which will allow a work
man to work on the under part of the
keel. This dock will take up any vessel
that our navy is ever likely to build.

A r,or a.. Trial for His life.

A dog on trial for his life-a sight i'm
possible outside the jurisdiction of Mas
sachusetts' curious laws-was the event
that filed the municipal court in Boston,
April 10, to OVERLOOKING with spectators.
Judge Curtis presided. The defendant,
Towser, a handsome setter, belonging to
one Nathan Simmons, was charged with
having a vicious and savage disposition,
dangerous to the peace and bodily veal
of the good citizens of this common
wealth.
To prove this one Hilmoth Hess swore
that the dog had bitten him without
p~rovocation, and he wanted the hand
some animal killed. Towser's owner de-
INJURED, and the court summoned Tow
ser to prove his good character, and he
was forthwith brought into court and
installed in the pen.
His master retained able counsel for
him, and, amid the litter of the audi
ence and the smiles of Judge Curtis, the
trial began. The plaintiff told how he
was bitten, but acknowledged that he
had provoked Towser by teasing him.
Others came forward, and, after expa-
tiating on Towser's good qualities, the
prisoner himself was brought forward in
his own behalf.
At various commands he played dead,
walked on his hind legs about the room,
stood on his head. shouldered arms,
whined dismally in imitation of a song,
and wound up by marching up the steps
to the judges desk on his hind legs and
shaking paws with his honor.
The latter was greatly tickled, and,
without h~esitating, said, amid cheers,
s'Towser, you are a peaceable and order
ly canine. Igive you judgment in your
behalf and dismiss you, the plaintiff pay
ing the costs"
Leaving the room the dog received an
ovation.-Cor. Philadelphia Times.

An. Tale.

A special to The New York World
from Helena. Ark, dated April "a, says:
John R. Mcclure, of Modoc Landing,
says that during the high water he has
been compelled to fell trees in order that
his COWS might sustain life by browsing
on the green leaves. The animals were
always hungry and he had great trouble
in driving them away to keep the oaks
from falling on them. Two days ago
there was a thunder storm and before it
began to rain there was a clap of thunder
that sounded exactly like a tree falling.
Mr.. McGuire's entire herd Of COWS rush
ed frantically towards the spot where it
seemed the tree had fallen. Another and
another clap followed in rapid succession
and all of the cattle put to the hill coun-
try, where they supposed trees were be-
ing cut down, Not of them has been
seen since.

Just 100 years have elapsed since the
inauguration in Europe of the high silk
hat - yclept 'the stovepipe"-and the
centennial anniversary thereof has been
celebrated during the last week by the
matters of the Old World with all the
solemnity warranted by the occasion,
According to the traditions of the It'll
ing fraternity it was the Quaker head
gear of Benjamin Franklin which first
gave the Paris matters the idea of the
''stovepipe," and that led to its adoption.
During the early part of the century it
was regarded as denoting liberal and
even republican views on the part of the
wearer.
But towards 1910 a change took place,
and it became an emblem of conserva-
tism, while the soft felt hat succeeded it
as a feature of the revolutionary equip
ment. Even to this day the wearing of
a soft felt hat by a politician in Europe IS
sufficient 20 denote his radical proclivi-
ties, and in the British house of commons
Mr.. Bradlaugh and Mr.. William OBrien
are almost the only members who affect
that particular form of headgear. Every
body else makes use of the high silk hat,
which, Notwithstanding the fact that 1t
is universally decried as both awkward
and monstrously ugly, has maintained
its supremacy for just 100 years.-New
York Tribune.

ThremlNaY Their Fortune.

Valentine Setting and wife, of st.
Louis, went out driving recently. Mr..
Setting is a jeweler, and by hard work
and rigid economy had succeeded in ac-
cumulating $4,605 in hard cash, which
was kept in the house. On starting for
the drive, being afraid TO leave the money
in the house during their absence, Mrs.
Setting put the money in her stockings.
1t felt uncomfortable there. She took
the package out and placed it at the bot
tom of a paper bag containing oranges,
and which she carried in her hands.
During the drive through the park the
couple ate the oranges, and when the
last one was gone threw the bag away,
losing sight of the fact that it contained
all the money they had in the world.
They did not discover their loss until
late in the evening, and all attempts to
find the package proved unayailing.-

Spontaneous Combustion of Man.

Dickens has been very much criticised
for his apparent acceptance of the fact
of human spontaneous combustion, but
the late Sir William Gull testified to a
surprising case before the committee of
the house of lords on intemperance
during the summer of 1886. A large,
bloated man, who was suffering from
difficulty of breathing and great dis
tension of the venous system, died at
Guys hospital. At the post mortem OF
the following day there was no sign Of
decomposition, but the body wa dis
tended with what was thought to be gas.
when punctures were made into the
skin said Sir William, land a lighted
match applied, the gas which escaped
burned with the blue flame of carbu-
retted hydrogen. AS many as a dozen
Of these little flames We're burning at
one time."-St. Louis Republic.

An Incident of the Southern Foods

Another darby bought a bull for
$3.50, worth $50, as he was standing on a
piece of land about the size of a saddle
blanket. He probably paid full value.
He shot him seven times with a forty
four Winchester rifle before he fell,
showing that the vital spark was deeply
implanted. Not finding sufficient dry
space on which to skin him, he tied his
tail to the real Of a skiff and dragged him
to a railroad platform, n and one-half
miles distant, there to butcher him. The
next morning he sent me several large
steaks. They looked more like rubber
door mats than edibles for a human be-
ing, so l rendered them to an overflow
sufferer, who accepted them smilingly

Some Londoners Are Sensitive.

Some of the London newspapers have
bsen inconsiderate enough to harrow the
feelings Of polite society by publishing
the tale of an East End tragedy whereby
a dock laborer died of starvation. Mark
Vale was the victims name, and his
neighbors report him to be a temperate,
steady man, who made every effort to
obtain sufficient work to support his
family, consisting of a wife and five
small children. He had a little money
due him on Thursday, and dropped dead
at the paymaster's feet as he received it.
The doctor who made the post mortem
said death was due to starvation, and
the mans stomach was entirely empty.
The eldest boy told the coroner that their
father had eaten nothing since the pre-
vious Saturday, though the children had
had a little stew twice since then. Their
father ate nothing in order that there
should be more for his little ones.
The West End was quite shocked when
The Pail Mall Gazette published this
story, and more than one good citizen
stopped the paper in order that his wife
and children might not be annoyed by
the perusal Of such vulgar atrocities

To Rid the State of Insect Pests.

State Entomologist John B. Smith, of
New jersey, is sending ont circular let
tiers asking the cooperation of farmers
in getting nd of insect pests. He wants
grangers who are bothered with wire
worms and root lice on corn, borers in
melons and squashes, leaf lice on the same
plants, rosebugs on the grape, and mag
gots on cabbage and onions, to write to
him at New Brunswick and he will send
samples of insectides that will be used in
a series of experiments this season with
special reference to these pests.-Phila

To Aid the Pitcher.

A new rubber article, for which the
inventor claims much, is something to
aid a baseball pitcher in getting the
curve" 1t consists of a fiat strip of
rubber with a ring at one end and a fiat
corrugation at the other. The ring is
slipped over the middle finger and the
corrugation rests against the ball. 1t is
claimed that when the ball is pitched the
rubber clings to it and sets it whirling,
thus giving it more of a curve than the
finger tips can.-New York Commercial
Advertiser.

Novel House Building.

Franz Kasner is going to build acolos-
sal ten story apartment on Orange ave
nue., in Newark, N. j. In order to con-
struct it he bought a number of small
houses that occupied the land. He tore
them all down, except one leased by
Frederick Theurer. Theurer refused to
move until his lease expires, a year
hence, so the brewer is preparing to
build his house over the small one for a
height of ten stories, with the smaller
house entirely enveloped like a nut in its
shell. There will be a small passage
way in front, by which Theurer and his
family can reach the street. Theurer
doesn't mind it in the least. -Exchange.
