MandersOn'S Costly Hat.

Senator Henderson, of Nebraska, who
has just been elected president of the
United States Senate, has recently been
presented with unique hat by one of
his admirers. 1t is probably the most
valuable headgear ever made outside of
the crowns Of the kings and queens OF
Europe and of Asia In fact, the only
thing nearly equal to it on record was
the patchwork quilt made by "Handy
Andy's" mother in Sam Lovers famous
story, which had a pound note under
every separate piece. 1t is only pa
per hat, but 1t cost more probably than
any headgear ever before made. 1t is
the shape of an ordinary silk hat, and
looks not unlike the white hats worn in
summer by the average well-dressed
man about town. The Nebraska SEN
ator however, does not expect to wear
his new hat long ut time nor in any
public place. 1t was made by one of
his old soldiers, a big, jolly German
named Martin, who stubs around
Washington on peg leg, and makes a
living by manufacturing greenback
statuary-the little pug dogs, slippers,
Washington monuments and busts of
various great men that tourists buy 80
readily when they visit the capital.
The hat for Senator Henderson weighs
twenty OunceS-rather too much for
comfort on hot summer day. The big
cowboy hats that Stetson makes in New
York and ships to Montana and Colorado
to sell to the dudes of the range are sold
by weight. Sometimes they bring as
much as 81 an ounce, and especially
large hats have been known to tip the
beam at sixteen and eighteen ounces.
These were particularly finer ones
coveted by the finest dressed COW
punchers. Senator Manderson's hat
beats those all out Of sight. While
cowboy can invest sometimes $50 or $35
in a huge broad brimmed hat, the Ne
braska senator boasts that his thatch
protector cost over $17 900 The average
value of the greenbacks and bonds
cancelled and destroyed in the macer-
ating machines at the Treasury Depart
ment is estimated at 1864 per ounce. So
that the twenty ounces of greenback
pulp in the senator's hat at one time
was worth to Uncle Sam sum sufficient
to buy hats for the whole Ohio brigade
that Gen. Henderson commanded when
he was boy of %, and in the ranks of
which Pegleg Martin, with two good,
stout legs under him, marched to defend
his country.

Spontaneous Combustion.

The supporters of the much disputed
theory of spontaneous COmbustl on have
received fresh ground of belief, says
the Philadelphia Times, from the case
of Milton Hardcastle, of Baltimore,
whose remains were recently found
nearly consumed in his shanty on the
outskirts of that city. Hardcastle, was
an old negro or unknown age, enjoying
a small monthly income left him some
years ago by his former owner, 90
Eust1ce Hardcastle, and which Wei -
almost entirely for whisky: 1t is
said that the negro consumed a gallon
and half day, and would
often buy and drink the pure
alcohol in large quantities, often for
days at time partaklng OF no otner
nourishment. He lived all alone, being
of a singular tactiturn disposition, SO
thar il was some days before he was
missed. but his shanty was observed TO
remain closed and, search being lnstltut,,
cd he was found in his bed burned
nearly to a crisp. while the mattress ana
clothes were only slightly scorched.
ME room was in perfect order, and
no trace of fire was found on tie

Uordcastle was known to have been

He didn't seem familiar with the
place, and, without taking into con-
ssideration the symptoms of spirits about
him, he was evidently stranger to the
District of Columbia. There were
several young men who were in looking
for what they called fun. They directed
one remark after another at the victim
of conviviality, and finally one of them
said:

Mail Pouch Locks.

The locks on the United States mail
pouches cannot be interfered with with
out giving notice of the fact Each lock
bears register which is set forward
one number each time the key is
turned, and it cannot be turned back.
All the locks begin at one and stop at
9,9oo, giving them life service of
thirtv-three years. When the last num-
Der is reached the lock will not work
any more unless it is sent back to the
factory and upset" 1t is the best
kind of protection against so-called
honest fellows who don't mind stealing
a few hundred dollars if they risk
nothing-fellows who are in position
of trust. 1t simply keeps watch, and if
one man acts dishonesty it just tells on
him. That's ALL But it tells every
time. and can't be bribed.
