OLD HATS ON MANY HEADS.
Where the Discarded Headgenr of
the Average Citizen Finds Its Fate.

Where the Discarded Headgear of
the Average Citizen Finds Its Fate.
What becomes of the old hats? The
"stove pipes" derbies, fedoras, soft hats
! and straw hats of various kinds-where
do they go to when discarded by their
owners? Every time a man buys new
hat he has the old one wrapped up, and
| either slowed away in the hat store for
safe keeping or sent to him at his office
or residence. As rule, he says: Wrap
it up and I'll call for it in day or
two"
The halter wraps it up, marks it with
the customers name, puts it away and
waits. On the largest mirror in the
hat store is banner with strange de-
vice on it, informing the public that 1--WE
are not responsible for hats left with US
over 30 days" In the store they keep
d book, and when Smith, Jones, Brown
! or Robinson leaves his old lid note
is made of it and duly entered on this
book.
After so or co days have elapsed a
general clearing out of the old hats is
made, and they go to the secondhand
stores along South Clark street In the
costumers' palaces, to the country
stores, sometimes, all TO be cleaned, re-
lined and furbished up the best way
possible. 1t is thus possible for man
10 be stopped on some chilly evening
md asked to assist some unfortunate
who is wearing one of his old hats.
These old hats are sometimes sent TO
the theaters to be used as headgear for
"the rabble" or ''an angry mob or "a
group of Roman citizens" Drivers of
coal wagons and teamsters generally
who want a hat for outdoor use buy Il
great many of these castaways. The
soft hats can be made over most effec-
tually, for a stiff hat remodeled and
dyed has an ancient luster that does not
deceive the intelligent.
Country stores sometimes take an in
voice of these veterans, and the result
IS a weird exhibition of head gear by
the sages of the cracker barrels and
hitching blocks.
A stiff hat once broken can with diff
Guilty be patched up acceptably, but
soft hat may be worked over many
times and still be marketable. Laborers
generally wear soft hats. although few
sport derbies, and many once proud,
stylish hat may lie seen during the
usual street cleaning days, perehed on
the cranIum of some stalwart wielder of
the shovel and pick.
The peddlers buy the old hats; the
lnjlkmen, the sailors, rivermen, labor
ers, and that most shifting army OF
human odds and ends which form such
an item in the city's population. These
are the men to whom the vast bulk of
the old hats go. Hats ttat once Slis-
tened with newness and glossy nap,
Once started on the downward path go
lower and lower, ~: tire ash heap in
the alley or the oblivion of an empty
lot marks their final degrada:ion.--Chi-

DREDGING In A pESEHI.
American Enterprise Retracing Pre-
historic Canals In an Arizona Valley.

American Enterprise Retracing Pre-
historic Canals In an Arizona Valley.
During my last visit to Arizona /
saw, in the Salt River valley, sight
that would strike stranger rs queer"
said New York man who makes an
occasional trip to the far west "a
steam dredging scow, such as is used in
deepening rivers and harbors for naviga-
ton, was voyaging slowly and steadily
through a wide strip of arid desert
1t had started landward from Salt River
and was excavating its own channel
ahead, the river waters following and
floating it as 1t advanced. But the work
done was not, in fact, the making of
new channel, but the digging out of an
old one, the irrigating canal made by
civilized people that lived and -four
ished and departed before recorded
American history began. That there
was a time when this wide valley, now
being again redeemed to man, was
garden of plenty, teeming with inhab-
itants, is shown by the extensive and
regular system of broad canals leading
from the river, through which water for
irrigation was conveyed out upon the
cultivated lands. These canals, though
choked for centuries with drifting sand
and earth, still are plainly indicated
on the face of the ground, and so skill
fully were they planned and built that
modern engineering science applied
to irrigation can do no better than re-
trace their course and restore them.
"The region was well chosen by the
primitive canal builders as a land Of
habitation. The climate is dry, sunny,
and even of temperature, and the arid
earth, at the touch of water, becomes
fertile and productive. Here the april
cots and oranges ripen long in advance
of those fruits in California and Flor
ida, and are of rare quality. What
race laid out the canals and built the
towns whose ruins are strung along
the valley is a question not yet settled
by archaeologists. Aztecs or Toltecs,
or each nation in turn, probably tar
ried here in their centuries-long migra-
tions southwark to the valley of Mex
leo, and the ruins may be of an older
people than either of these.
Near Mesa in this valley, six miles
east of Tempe, is particularly strange
and impressive ruin-the ruin of an i'm
mense building, now fallen into a
moundlike heap, covering an area of
two acres. Its walls were of the FASH
ion the Mexicans cali cajones, built up
compactly without layers or joints. 1t
is believed that the material used was
clay mixed with cactus juice, which
hardened into cement as durable al
most as rock. The settlers in the val
ley come long distances to the ruin to
get this material, which they use in
making mortar for housebuilding, pull
verizing it and then mixing it with
water, as they would linen. Y. Sun.

HCw to Go About the Ia -.s.L i'rc-
vent Disheveled Wardrobes-
Now a word of advice can be given to
the woman traveller who is not so fortu-
nate as to possess well-trained maid.
Pack your own trunks and pack with
care. More rumpled and impossible
gowns are due to careless packing and
loose adjusting than any other one
thing. No amount of tight packing or
of pressure applied downward will do
more than accentuate the natural folds.
A single toss of the trunk that is loose
ly packed means a hopeless tumble of
hats, wraps, bodices, laces and what
not. Begin at the foundation with the
heaviest garments. Do not fold too
much; shake skirts from the waistband
and spread them out the entire length
without folding if the size of the trunk
will allow. If not, spread out with
great care in the folds which are nat
urally taken when held in an upright
position and turn over smoothly at the
top. Shake wraps from the shoulders,
lay them on. in the folds which they
naturally take, with great care smooth
the sleeves and turn the fronts over on
the back, smoothing and adjusting all
trimmings and frills so as to avoid
horizontal creases. 1t is impossible to
SO fold q garment as to avoid all lines,
but those taken lengthwise of the cloth
readily disappear and are also little
noticed, as they take the direction of
the folds formed by the garment itself.
Jackets. however, must be so man
bodices require tissue paper for the
support of puffs and the like, but they
can be saved from much rumpling if
spread out in the trunk and folded as
little as possible. Then pack close and
tight. Reluctant as we are to bear
down upon our anery, packing that is
well and scientifically done will in
jure them less than being thrown into
a heap at one end of the trunk. Stock
ings and small wear can be used to
wedge corners. Skirts, night dresses
and white wear can be spread between
dress skirts and bodices of silk and or
candle, and so made to serve as protec-
tion and economic space by doing
away with the necessity of extra
clothes. Hats should be packed firmly,
so as not to move, and for this purpose
any light articles, such as handker-
chiefs, mouchoir cases or soft and pill
able objects that will not crush nor in
jure the fashionable headgear, may be
Times.

CEREALS USELESS FOR INDIA.
A Letter sbowIng the Futility OF
Sending Wheat and Corn


Senator Chandler has received let
ter from George \. Kittredge concern
ing the proposed relief expedition Tor
India, and says from his knowledge OF
the conditions the proposed expedition
of corn and wheat will be impracticable,
and says there is no organization in In
dia for the distribution of food. and
that the famine districts are scattered
from the Madras presidency, at the
south. to the Punjaub, in the north
1T would be almost impossible" he
saws, ito divide large quantity OF
grain among the needy, The grain
would go to India in bulk, but there are
no elevators there or other means OF
receiving it in that form. 1t must be
put into bags, the bags must be bought,
and the grain filled in the bags on board
the steamer. Apart from the expense
of the bags. l do not see how the bags
could be filled in that climate in the
holds of steamers.
There is the expense of sending the
grain TO India, and after its arrival at
a port the expense of railway freight

try. \ theory has been promulgated
in India that the plague arose from
wheat. The result is that no wheat or
flour will be received in other parts OF
India from Bombay. The authorities
in Calcutta have forbidden the receipt
of -four ground at flour mills at Bonn
bay. Under no circumstances, there
fore. must the grain be sent to Bonn
bay. If, before its arrival in India, the
plague should break out in Calcutta,
this city would be put into the same
position, and the grain would have to
remain there. Very few of the people
of India have ever seen Indian corn.
They would have no means of grinding
il, nor would they know how to cook
it. Wheat. too is used by comparative
ly few of the people"

are sent in the form of money it would
be distributed in a manner to be of
some use to the suffering people of In-

WAKING ON TIME.
An Alarm Clocks Conscience Which
Guarded a Sick Child.


A man who wished to make sure that
an ailing child in bed in an adjoining
room kept covered through the night
and who before he went to sleep him
self made a memorandum to the effect
that he must not sleep more than an
hour or two without waking, really
fell into a very sound slumber. But in
the midst of il he was awakened ap-
parently hearing the bell of the town
clock, not far away, strike six o'clock
all the strokes falling clearly-one,
two, three, four, five, six. Now, this
man is accustomed to rise every morn
ing at six O'Clock and seldom sleeps past
that hour; ii has long been for him the
end of the night and the beginning of
the day. AS he heard the strokes nat
urally he had the impression that he
lad slept all night and had neglected
the child He got up quickly and was
surprised TO find that the darkness was
intense and on striking light aud con-
sulting his watch he was astonished to
find not only that he had not slept
more than two hours, but that no bell
had struck-that il was between the
hours, so that he could not have heard
the clock strike some other hour and
mistaken ii for six. There was. il should
be mentioned, no striking clock in the
house, nor within hearing except the
town clock, which he supposed he had
heard, but had not.
Now, this seems TO be a clear case of
the operation of some sort of machinery
In the mans mind whereby he was
aroused by the premature occurrence of
the sensation of n summons that was
sure to awake him under ordinary cir
cumstances. That the man was sound
asleep was proved by the fact that he
might easily have heard the bell strike
IL and -, for the window was open and
soon afterward, being awake, he heard
it strike one o'clock loudly; but he
heard nothing of the noisy striking of
these hours. He had gone to sleep very
tired and but for the summons so skill
fully directed by his subconsciousness,
occurring at the expiration of the time
he had set when he fell asleep, he might
easily have slept all night. The ring
ing of no hour but six ever reused him
under ordinary circumstances, there
FORE" said his unsleeping subconscious-
ness, II will ring in six o'clock on him
and see if that will make him get up and
cover the baby" The false summons
worked like charm. Such things make
many more than Alice in Wonderland
