BIG HAT IN CHURCH.
1t Fills the Whole Universe for the Man
Behind 1t.


Behind 1t.
This is what happens to the man be-
hind the hat, says the Chicago Observer:
The preacher disappears until nothing
remains but a voice. And with the hat
standing up against the spot where the
voice is, and the modulated sentences
breaking against it, how is attention
TO be fixed upon the sermon? The
mind grows lax, the quiet and sweetness
of the sanctuary tend to distraction, the
hat fills the whole visible universe, and
involuntarily ones thoughts center
upon it.
1t is n wonderful construction. There
is yellow rose trembling on a long
stem with every movement of the wear
er's head and one begins to calculate
the extent Of its arc. There are punches
of feathers, disposed, apparently, with a
view to preventing anything from be-
ing seen between them whichever way
the hat is turned. And there are stall
actites of ribbon, upright and immov-
able, which still further obscure the
horizon.
Occasionally one gets a momentary
glimpse Of the head Of the preacher as
1t Is stretched out in gesticulation, but
ri seems mere detached fragment use
lessly beating the air. The preacher
himself has disappeared as If he had
never been. The only thing visible
when the hat 10 turned for a moment
is another hat Of the same kind farther
on.

Ill sREEDlNo OF swELLa

O4r Fashionable Folk IndiROr0nt ODA
DlsaSreeable Toward Stranger.
"Who is that, Jim2"
"a stranger"
well, cave q brick at him" #.
In civilized life the instinct Of avoid-
ance is by no means so defined, but new
ertheless it is distinctly noticeable.
Everyone who has ever been a stranger
IN strange land has at some time felt
that depressing sense of isolation.
Il shall never forget" said an Amer
lean girl who had been thrown more or
less in the "smart set" in London, my
first dinner in England. At table I
got on fairly well with the men, but
afterward in the drawing-room my pen
ance began. The fashionable women
present paid no more attention to me
than il were piece of furniture. NV
hostess, of course, would be coldly po-
lite, bringing me basket of photos or
something of the kind to look over, and
then with obvious relief would turn to
her friends, while 1 sat lonely and neg
lected until the men came in. They
were very much kinder" \
New York, we are sorry to say, han
not the reputation of treating out
siders with courtesy, and unless they
are exceptionally rich or beautiful or
fashionable they receive scant atten-
ton.
There is No place 80 trying" de-
clared n Washington belle, "and so hui
initiating as New York assemblage of
slight acquaintance. It costs so little
TO be polite, one would think; but of
all ill-bred, Indifferent, disagreeable
people 1 think a. roomful of New York
girls takes the precedence.''
This is very strong charge, but in a
measure it is deserved by our fash
ionable people, who are certainly very
indifferent to strangers and not over
civil. How different from Anglo-Saxon
rudeness are the kindly ways of the Ger
mans. TO them a stranger is a guest
and is treated as such by all present.
IL it is q woman at small gathering
every man in the room will be asked to
be introduced to her, whether she is
attractive or not; that does not neces-
sarily mean that they must stay and
converse. 1t is simply greeting, no
more: but it puts timid girl wonder
fully at her case with those present.
The women are equally kind and in
variably make point of showing cour-
teous attention to an outsider. It seems
pity that the same genial manners
cannot be more universal, and that thu,
true courtesy which springs from a
kind heart and intrinsic good breeding
Is not oftener met with in society.-N.

HEALTHY FLOUR MARKET.

Last Week.

Minneapolis Mills did Large Business
Last Week.
MlNNEAPoLls, Sept. l7.-According to
the Northwestern Miller the -four out.
put last week at Minneapolis was $685..
745 barrels, against $50, ,270 the previous
week, and 237 ,26O in 1896. Superior and
Duluth mills ground 55,605 barrels last
week, against S6,5l5 the week before,
and 7l,13O in 1896. The mills did the
largest business last week in long
time. The sales of Minneapolis mills
proper approximated 100000 barrels.
Were the business done by others op-
Grated from here taken into account,
these figures would be materially aug.
1nented. About everybody sold as much
as his output, and many did great
deal better. Early in the week for.
eigners bought freely, and the export
business done in the first three days
was large, patent, as well as clear, sell
ing well. The United Kingdom was
the chief buyer, the continent being in
the market for little clear. Very good
prices were often obtained. The do.
mcstic trade, while not yet taking -four
in any large quantities, made very
good showing last week, the buyer
usually wanting his order filled in a
rush. On the whole, the flour market
is in quite a healthy condition.

CORN STARCH FLOUR MIXTURE

Circulars From q Glucose Firm Sent
Broadcast Through the South.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 1.-THE Republic
says: St. Louis flour millers are greatly
wrought ~ over the receipt of a circu.
lar from Chicago, which has been sent
broadcast through this section of the
country, Offering certain grade Of corn
starch, 10 per cent Of which, the manu-.
facturers say, can be mixed with wheat
-four. The circular is from glucose
company and reads as follows:
"Gentlemen-We today mail you a
sample Of corn starch, which we would
like you to examine closely. We have
made many experiments and find that
about 10 per cent can be substituted
with -four, to its benefit.
eve will be pleased to quote prices
and terms, your station, on hearing
from you.'
It Worries the Millers.
The millers are worried over the mat
ter, for the reason that it threatens
new and dangerous counterfeit, which,
1t pushed by unscrupulous persons, can
be made ruinous to the legitimate flour
trade. During the hot summer months
the corn flour mixer almost entirely
deserted the field, owing to the danger
OF loss from fermentation and other
causes arising from excessively warm
weather. Now he is beginning to make
himself felt again, and with this as a
constant menace to his business, the
legitimate flour manufacturer witnesses
the advent of an even more dangerous
substitute with feeling of alarm.
Corn mixed -four has already made
its appearance in the Southern markets
and is selling at from 25 to 40 cents be-
low what straight wheat flour can be
sold for. When corn and wheat flour
are mixed, and the blend sold as wheat
-four, it is impossible for the miller Of
first class flour from pure wheat to
compete with the mixer. 1t is abso.
lutely ruinous to his trade, and he is
forced to abandon the field.

Bank of England's Governor
Makes a Statement Regarding
Recent RumOrS.
Silver Reserve to Be Increased
to the Limit Under Certain
Conditions.
Opening of the French Mints to
Free Coinage Is One Of
Them.

LONDON, Sept. 17.-At the semi-an.
nual meeting Of the Bank of England,
the governor, Hugh G. Smith, said:
"You are probably aware of the pro-
posals laid before the government in
the summer by the United States and
France, whereby this country might in
crease its use of silver as contribution
to an international agreement, which
while not affecting our gold standard,
might enable the mints Of France and
America to resume free coinage. Among
the proposals was one asking the bank
to hold the amount Of silver permissible
under the act of 1914, as against its
notes. "
The governor ISad letter dated July
90, addressed to the chancellor of ex-
chequer, Sir Michael Hicks Beach. 1t
was as follows:
Referring to our conversation, we
beg to say the bank is prepared to carry
out what is laid down as permissible in
the bank charter, viz, to hold one.tifth
of the bullion held against its note issue
in silver, provided always that the
French mint is again open to the free
coinage of silver, and that the price at
which silver is procurable and saleable
are satisfactory.
Replying to questions, the COVER
nor said the bank had no negotiations
with the United States monetary COM
missioners, adding:
1--WE have bought no silver. All we
have done is to agree, under certain
circumstances, to carry out what is per.
missible under the act of lS44.'
