A Comfortable Hat.

Many persons have probably noticed
certain individuals wearing peculiar hats.
These are tho Chinese hats. Mr.. Henry
p. Morgan. the insurance agent wears
one OF these hats. lie says tnat they are
made in China and imported here. II is
a kind Of oval elongated hat. the outside
made of fine basket straw In fact when
on a persons head these hats look like All
overturned basket. Inside they are lined
with colored japanese paper, in tie
center being raised circular rim
covered with silk, which Ia made accord
ing TO the size OF tho head OF the wearer
just as any other htt. This rim Is the
only thing that touches the head. the

| find something 10 take its place, and
while they thus sat in counsel there sp-
peared unto them stranger with dress
upcouth and hair unkempt, and he said
unto them, "Behold, 4 can show you a
way out OF all your troubles. Gaze at
your feet, 10 there noweth an unfailing
spring OF water. Take these measures to
water and the half with milk, for they
bear the stamp 'Ihis is measure of
milk Then they made of the stranger
an idol and they fell upon his neck and
said behold tho millennium, and they cal
led him their dciyerer. Then they
offered their watered milk in payment TO
those who had given them silks and fine
linens, but the latter said unto them we
Will not accept II, because the quality of
your milk Is changed, we must there
fore have moro to equal our price; and
they were obliged to give twice as much
as they expected, anc they found they had
gained nothing. Thereupon the people
who had used the true milk grew dis
trustful of those who desired to use a
baser quality, and they pressed their OBJ
legations sorely upon them, for they fear
cd that they would ultimately
get no milk at all, but all water.
Then great commotion fell upon the
land. Hunger and distress was with I he
people, and the laborers walked idly about
the streets Of the city, for there was naught
for them TO do, for the fires had gone
out at the forge and the buzz of the
spindle had ceased. Then those who
titled the soil sold their wheat and corn
and cattle, and they received great
quantities OF this watered milk and they
said unto themselves, surely we are rich,
we Will go up to the city and we will
buy houses and fine clothes, and they
went up TO the city, and when they
would buy fine clothes they found that
ten measures of milk would now cost
thirty, and they went home and they
said unto their neighbors n Ike wide the
gates OF the poor house for / vast multi
tude will soon go that way. Lo, we have
Deen to the city, and measure OF milk
no longer buys hoe or a shovel, but
they demand three measures, and our
&C ndition is worse now than before.
Then distress fell upon their country and
they sought out the stranger that had told
them TO change the quality of the stana-
ard of value and he was found and so
wrath was the people tnat the stranger
was not given an opportunity to die, but
was buried in the hills from whence he
came and the old standard was restored
and peace, happiness and prosperity came
at once 70 gladden. the hearts OF the peo-
pie, and when the people from the desert
places saw how foolish they had been
they hid their heads and wished some
one had made them do so earlier.
Ii there is a moral here, please apply 1t
where it will do the most good.

A reader OF THE News referring to tn,
statement in these columns that certain
merchants for an advertising scheme and
also for an object lesson were reported
to be giving away a Mexican silver dollar
in change for an American dollar bill OF
silver dollar, and fifty cent purchase,
writes to know IL the value OF the Mexi-
can silver dollar is only 80 cents in Mexi-
co and il the same trick could be done
in that country with the home money.
The answer is yes. or course in Mexico
the Mexican silver dollar passes rs a full
dollar, but all prices are upon scale ad-
vanced sufficiently to reduce its purchase
ing power to 90 cents. In other words,
II you buy fifty cents worth OF goods
with an American dollar in Mexico you
are entitled to and will receive a Mexican
silver dollar back in change. And for
your American dollars the money
changers will give you about two for
one In Mexican money, although when
you want to buy American money with
Mexican you are not always able to trade
back on the same terms, because of the
fluctuating value OF the silver standard.
In all silver standard countries the
profit or loss by reason OF the insta nility
OF the standard is discoverable,
the profit being in the long
run OF course with the money changers
and the Joss with their customers. You
may sell piece OF "sound money" to a
money changer for the silver OF the coun-
try in one day and find yourself unable
to buy it back the next day without pay
ing little more in the national cur
rency than you originally received for 1t.
The prices of the comforts and lrxuries
OF lite vary in the same way. You never
can know how much your money will
buy. A man who draws wages on Sat-
urday night can never be certain how
much they will be able to purchase for
him on Monday morning. One OF the
evils of a silver standard for a nations
money has always been that it makes
the money OF uncertain purchasing value
as well as "cheap." Perhaps II would
not so much matter how "cheap" our
money was II its cheapness could only
periods.

And Ii Came to Pass.

Apropos of the 60-cent dollar, Mr..
Edgar NJ. Dexter of this city tells this
little fable:
Once upon a time there was man and
he had a certain animal that he called a
COW, and 1t was the only COW that there
was. and from that COW he extracted a
certain juice which he called milk and
there was no money in the country and
a measure of milk became the standard
OF value and for long time 1t worked
tremendously and the people were con-
tent and prosperity smiled upon them
and the hands Of the toilers were not
idle, for there was much that they could
do and they looked about them and they
said this is a goodly country, 1t is well TO
live here. And 1t came to pass that the
desert place of this country had become
populated with race Of hard working
but fsnciful people, who were unskilled
in the science OF The government that had
made the whole people prosperous and
they were disquieted and desiie was In
their heart for things that they did not
possess and they said unto those who had
silks and fine linen, give unto us OF your
substance and we will return unto you
measures OF milk in due time, for the
COW giveth but certain amount daily
anc IT cannot be increased.
And they gave them OF their mercban-
disc freely. Then those that had receiv-
ed the merchandise bethoug bt themselves
as to how they could repay their obliga-
tions without the necessary amount OF
labor that was represented by the meas
ure of milk, and they ccunseiled among
themselves and they SAID there Is no,
milk enough for cur needs. We must

He Robbed the Graves Of Many Indians
and Paid the Penalty With His Life.

(From the Portland Oregonian.)
Two miners who have been prospecting
in the region of Mt. Hood arrived In
Portland yesterday and report that the
body of James Hartley, collector Of In
dian relics and curios, WAS found last
Thursday by Henry Peterson, timber
cruiser, on small leland in Deadman's
lake in the dense forest which stretches
from Mt. ST. Helena to the Columb ia
river. The condition Of the body, which
was found in an old canoe, the hands
and feet bound by withes of hazel and
fastened to the stem and stern of the
canoe, with stake of hazel driven
through t just below the breast bone,
showed conclusively that Hartley had
been put to death with cruel torture
such as were inflicted upon white men
taken prisoners by Indians In the early
history Of this country. Hartley has been
missing for over year, but the body
was in comparatively good state OF
preservation, and was readily recognized
by the clothes of greenish colored cordu-
roy which he invariably wore, and by
letters and papers found in his pockets.
Some such dread full ending had often
been predicted for him, as he had been
years engaged in collecting Indian relics
and curios, and had probably robbed
more Indian graves and scattered broad
cast the rem aims Of more Indians than
any other one man ever did. There ia
scarcely an Indian bury ing ground on
the Columbia river, or the islands there
in, or along the coast of Oregon, where
such places are numerous, which Hart
ley had not ransaeked in search of some
knives and ham niers, beads, flint arrow
heads, and other articles which the In
dams used to bury with their dead; and,
in several places. notably at Long Island
in the Upper Columbia, dead houses of
modern construction were torn down by
him, and the only partially decay cd
bodies of those buried there dragged out
and thrown about to bleach In the sun
and wind in his search for any articles
which mighb have been buried with
them.
