of milliners shop in that city. Miss
Betsey wished to buy it, but as that
was out of the question She determined
to make one like it, In her old age
she used to relate the many difficulties
she encountered in this first attempt at
bonnet-making in this country. How
the straw was too ripe, and consequent
~ SO brittle it would break until her
patience was nearly exhausted With
a few directions from the milliner Miss
Metcalf finally succeeded in sewing
the braid together and getting it into
the desired form with the aid of flour
starch to stiffen it and a hot flatiron to
press it into shape. A fac-simile Of
this first American straw bonnet-a
drawing of which accompanies this
article is still shown with pride in
Providence.
Miss Betsey was much sought after
when her success in bonnet-malking
was made known. and DEMONSTRATING
became the fad Of tie day; and use
full fad it was, too, for it soon developed
into an industry by which many earned
their living.
When we recall the Puritanical no.
tions of the day, it does not seem
strange that this straw work was as
sailed from the pulpit and by the press.
Many ministers preached long sermons
in which they warned their Iair hear
ers to flee from the power of Satan as
manifested in this new fashion of bon
net making. 1t was an invention Of
the evil one to foster pride in their
hearts, and thus draw them away from
the right path. Some pointed out the
danger of famine, as it mad now been
discovered that, in order to braid it
easily, the straw should be cut before
the grain was fully ripe. After straw
braiding had continued many wears a
learned essay was written son the
Manufacture of Straw Bonnets," and
after proving that straw bonnets were
the root Of all evil, ended with some
moral, political, miscellaneous and
concluding remarks" But the straw
braiding kept right on!
At first Miss Metcalf had a monopoly
of the business, orders coming to her
from within radius of fifty miles, and
help had to be employed to supply the
demand. Her friends thought it inn
modest to allow a young woman's name
to go before congress, SO the process
was not patented, and straw braiding
became general.
The bonnet-makers would take them
along with butter, eggs and other farm
products to the village store, where
they would be exchanged for dry goods
and groceries. Soon, however, large
esta blishments became necessary for
carving on the traffic, though much Of
the work was still done at home. An
agent went ont at certain intervals to

then perceived that it held under ths
other the puppy, whose blue eyes
blinked at me in amazement.
Another step and out came the kit
ten, the monkeys marvellous tail,
which was like a fifth hand, still
clasped firmly about her leg.
Upon leaving his house Mingo as
sumed a perfectly upright position,
holding one hand over his head, and,
then occasionally dropping to all four,
he crossed the little grass plot and
easily swung himself into a tree
His long tail stretched ont to its full
length, and by it he actually lifted the
kitten until, when four or more feet
from the ground she scrambled at the
limb and aided herself up.
Mingo finally settled himself on a
bough with tie pappy. which he leid
closely in his arms.
Mingo, the Spider monkey, belonged
to tribe known as Coaita, and came
from the valley Of the Amazon.
Mingo's fifth hand or tail was so deft
and cunning in all its movements that
one wondered whether somewhere
eA1i = was i4Ou al eye VI TWO coHcedleu
In the coarse hairs to enable it to find
its way about.
When Mingo walked a limb the fifth
hand was invariably caught on a
higher limb SO that, when he lost his
hold, as he sometimes did, with his
hands and feet he swung in safety by
the tail.
The tail was frequently employed to
inspect crevices II its owners house,
and it could pick up very small objects
with the greatest ease.
When approached, Alingo would
often extend his tail and grasp ones
finger with it in most confding man
ner.

FIRST YANKEE BONNET.
Made by Miss Betsey Metcalf, of
Providence, R. I.
At First Her Work Was Assaiied from the
Pulpit and by the Press Preachers
Supposed IL TO BE an Inven-
ton of Satan.

Until some years after the revolu-
tionary war all the straw bonnets sold
in this oJuntry were imported from
England. Even those patriotic daugh-
tiers of the revolution who refused to
drink the taxed tea went on buying
and wearing the imported bonnets
until young American girl made one
for herself, and thus set the fashion of
independence for others. 1t was in
1898 that little Betsey Metcalf, of
Providence, r. l., saw an English
Dunstable straw bonnet in the window

deliver straw to the workers and TO
collect the bonnets and hats made,
which We're sold by this establishment
to all parts of the country.
Ii was natural that at first this in
dustry should flourish in the state
where it had birth; but soon Massachu-
sets became formidable rival, and to-
day more than half the American straw
goods are manufactured in the latter
state. The bonnets are now scwed by
machines run by steam, the machines
being of American invention.
Miss Metcalf married Mr. William
Baker, and removed with him to Mas
sachusetts, where she lived to very
old age. She lived to see the large re-
suits that came from her first small
efforts in straw work. She was visited
by many distinguished people, who
were glad to meet the first maker of
American straw bonnets.-0nce aWeek

Few things vex a physician more
than to be seat for in great haste at an
unreasonable hour, only to find upon
arrival that little or nothing Is the
matter with the patient. An eminent
English surgeon was called to an
urgent case" of this sort, and found
that the patient, who was a man Of
great wealth but small courage, had
received very slight wound from q
fall The surgeons face did not be-
tray his irritation, but he gave his
servant orders to go home with all pos
sible haste and return with certain
plaster. The patient, turning very
pale, said, an xiously:

was standing one day by the house
of large Newfoundland dog, whose
attention was evidently much taken MP
by number of lusty puppies, writes
Charles Frederick Holder, when evi.
IDENTIFY noticed a slendery snake-lilSe
object gradually slip out of neighbor-
ing dog house, and insert its tip into
the door of the first dog house.
The shaggy mother within blinl1ed
quite peacefully, and one of the pup
pies galiopei toward the intruder.
Evidently this vas what was wanted,
for Immediately the object coiled
around the leg of the puppy in a gentle,
friendly manner and began to pull him
toward the door.
The little dog protested after the
manner of his kind, but the visitor was
persistent, and slowly the puppy was
dragged out of his own house, across
the foot of space between, and after
some little scuffiing disappeared into
the other house.
A moment later along came kitten,
and stopped before the doorway of the
second doghouse, and out came the
long, insinuating object again, and be-
fore the kitten could object, even had
she been SO disposed. one of her hind
legs was encircled, and she, like the
puppy, moved howard the doorway,
dragged along tail drst.
She uttered a single plaiptive meow,
which, understanding something of the
cat language, l considered more a
sound of passive acquieseence than
anything else.
My eyes soon again reverting to the
opening encountered a pair of great
brown ones, pathetic and mournful to a
degree, peering from beneath gray eye
brows.
For a moment the eyes looked at me,
then seeing that | was friendly, the
head to which they belonged came out,
and there rose before me the owner of
the mysterious serpentine object-a
monster SO tall and slender, So COM
pletely given over to arms and tail that
could only compare it to gigantic
spider coming out of its den.
1t stood up, reaching one long, atten-
uated arm almost to my shoulder, and
