A Curious Discovery That May Prove Of Prime
Value to Horse Owners.
The German naturalist Martin re-
lates a case he recently met Of a horse
which owed its life to coffee. II was
in such a bad way hat it was consid-
cred incurable, and the owner sold the
animal for SIS. The animal was then
almost a skeleton, and SO weak that it
could hardly walk. The man who
bought the horse Immediately began
to treat it with coffee, giving infusions
Of roasted coffee beans and also coffee
beans ground and mixed with honey.
In y short time the horse began to inn
prove, and after a few months its new
owner vas offered $3.50 for it. He
told Herr Martin lie had brought
round by the same treatment many
horses which had been overworked or
had lost their strength and appetite.

i LATE FISHING SEASON.
a Glance at the Coming Fisheries on the Potomac
River.
r. R. SMITH,
Va. Ian. 13. 'l3

a Glance at the Coming Fisheries on tho Potomac
River.
The immense volume Of ice IN the
Potomac, even if it should clear away
without damage to the fishing shores,
will, it is said by experienced fisher
men, make fishing season late, as the
fish will not enter the river when its
feed water are chilled. The early shad,
due in February and coming sometimes
even ii January, will, they think, not
be caught until March this year, and
the twenty and twenty-five thousand
early behring's, which unusually report
IN the Potomac before the close ofFeb-
ruary, will keep out in the warmer sea
until after fhe Inauguration of Presi-
dent Cleveland. 1t is likely that inn
provements in fishing apparatus will
be put in uselin several Of the fishing
shores on the river. Some Of the land
ings having been disused Of late years
can now be obtained at a rental SO
moderate as to invite the Investment
Of capital and the use Of the latest
method for getting fish. A well-known
riyerman thinks that besides the drift
gill nets there will BEL seines dipped
this year at Indian Heads, Sandy
Point, Gut Landing, Arkindale, Wind
Mill Point, High Point, Maryland Point,
Chickamuxan, Shamrock Landing,
Freestone Point, Possum Nose, Tent
Landing, Greenaway. Sycamore Land
ing, Thom's Gut, Pomonkey Point,
White House, Tulip and Slump Neck.
A combination Of Potomac fishing
shore owners, the fishermen and the
river-boat owners for the promotion Of
fishing interests is talked Of, and the
plan may be carried out during tile
coming spring.

LATEST IN WOMEN'S HATS.
Perfectly Flat Disks of Felt Which Are
Twisted Into Fantastic shapes,


Twisted Into Fantastic shapes.
Manufacturers are how busy in MAX
ing perfectly fiat hats for women.
They are mere disks of felt, which the
milliners twist and bend into fantastic
forms, Crowns which are mere rings
of felt or other material are sewcd on
the under side of the felt plaques,
sometimes in the center, but oftener
at the side or rear of the center. The
felt disks are fifteen inches in dame
ter, and are only slightly stiffened.
The demand is exceedingly brisk just
now, and six or seven Newark firms are
making them.
Many patents have been obtained
upon this simple flat disk of felt and
the process of making it. The most
important patent is one for splitting
the plaques and cementing the pieces
together. There is great advantage
in this, not only because it enables
them to make hats of two different
colors, over and under but 1t makes a
disk of greater dura bility and stiffness
for the weight of fur used.
Heretofore all fur hats have been
formed by blowing the fur upon per-
forated cone and shrinking them with
steam or hot cloths In making the
Hat plaques most of the manufacturers
have been blowing them upon low
cones and tlattening them in the sizing
process. One firm devised process
for blowing the disks fat and in con-
tinuous strip, and have made a sizing
machine for working the tlat material.
Ehey have also machines for pouncing
and finishing the plaques.
Some of the fiat hats exhibited in the
milliners' windows are dreams of
beauty with gorgeous blendings of
color upon the mapped upper surface
and creamy felt below. Others have a
broad border of furry nap, or are full
brush hats A few have low crowns,
built up by hydraulic pressure, but the
dictim from Paris is that the crown
must be on the under side, and hatters
are now making shallow crowns of
felt To be sewed on. Some of the
French plaques are so limp that they
can be formed into tams and beef
eaters, while others are made much
sitter, and will be supplemented with
milliners' wire sewed under the rim.
The American plaques are superior to
the imported in every respect and are
preferred by the milliners.-N. Y.
