HATS OF THE IMMIGRANTS.

Much Beauty.

They Offer Wonderful variety, II Not
Much Beauty.
One of the many curious things which
strike an observer of the throngs that
daily land at the barge office is the
riot-provokmg headgear worn by the
newcomers. Any style of hat that one
wants to see, or does not want to see,
according to his sensibilities, can be
seen whenever ship from foreign
shores lands its passengers at that in
stitution.
If asperson attempted 10 draw con-
illusions about the nationality of the
wearers from the weird and uuholy
headgear, he would. soon find himself
hopelessly mixed up. just why ma
tive of sunny Italy should decorate his
intellectual end with bearskin cap,
and an immigrant from the Scandina-
Wan peninsula should come sporting
battered straw hat, has yet to be salts
fnctorily explained. A few DAYS ago
one of the newcomers appeared with
three straw hats telescoped one upon
the other and worn in such matter-of-
fact way as to disarm any suspicion Of
doing willful violence to other peoples
ideas of the eternal fitness of things.
But it was the female part of the in
coming procession whose headgear at
tracted the most attention. A trio who
landed few days ago had their heads
adornednwith some gaudy material
twisted turban fashion about their
ebon Jocks. Each headdress was picto-
raj as well as picturesque, and when
seen from a distance had the appear
ance of a lurid and indiscriminate spat-
ter of all the rainbow colors. One rep
resented a village scene, another por-
trayed in several tints a flock Of gayly
plumaged birds with colors known only

Instantly remove them, to use on the

is looking down on the roof of the coop

sary in making coops high should conn
pei practical poulterers to build them

further lightened by being Constructed

POKER PLAYING in THE ARMY.

One Thousand Dollars Bet by Soldiers
Earning Twelve Dollars Month.
Much has been written about the
gambling INDUCED in by the members
of the regular army, but nobody I'M
less he has spent some time with the
soldier boys on the western frontier
would believe that the stakes were SO
large or the games so lasting as they
age,@As much as ene=theHsand= dollars
is sometimes bet on a hand, and that
by soldiers who have only their pay to
gam BILE with, which is but twelve dol
| lars month at the outside. Naturally
the question arisesi How can they bet
thousands on hand on capital of
twelve dollars?
An old soldier who is permanently
located in this city and who spent many
years on the frontier explained the
matter to me. Said he: ION the first
of each month the boys are paid off,
and without delay the cards are pro-
duced and play is begun. Six players
will take part in each game, and you
will frequently see on pay day whole
regiment divided up into parties of six
engaged in playing draw poker The
game will be at first for small stakes,
and as each man goes broke he drops
out of the game. Another takes his place,
until finally the entire wages of the
regiment is in the hands of perhaps one
man at each table. Then the winners at
each table make up other games and
they play for larger stakes.
FINALLY, perhaps six or seven of the
best and luckiest players in the regi-
ment will have all the money, and then
they will begin to play, while the 9TH
ers whose money is lost will sit by and
watch the game. / have known one
man in a regiment to have within three
days of pay day all the wages of all the
men in the regiment. When there are no
more fields to conquer in the regiment
the moneyed men will take wagon
and drive to the nearest town, there to
buck up against faro or some equally
enticing game. Sometimes they will
break the bank and then there will
be rejoicing in camp, but in the end
the professional gambler will get all
the money. This thing is repeated
month after month.
1.-THE soldier has no expenses, the
government supporting him. and he
cannot spend his money in any other
way, SO he plays it away.
The playing cards used are an
interesting feature of the game. 1t is
difficult to procure new cards, and
those they have are treasured up and
well looked after. They are greasy,
torn and generally dilapidated, but
each player knows the marked cards,
so all have an even chance. IN. Y.

CHEAP DAIRY COOLER.


One That Has Been successfully intro
duced In Australia.
1t costs lots of money to put in a cold
storage or cold-air system in dairy or
other building, and most, farmers can
not afford the outlay. We herewith
present the plan Of dairy house that
is used by Henry FredriclSs, Of Aus

abundance of cool water, which may be
found on most farms. The principle of
cooling is that water is forced by grav-

building and the evaporation takes up
the heat. In the illustration AA is a
