The Bow Hat.

The bow hat Is the very latest. It is an indescribable Japanesque bow of black velvet, tied as only a Parisian milliner-and that a celebrated one knows how to tie bow, ornamented solely by an aigret. Another of these new bow hats has high Spanish comb of cut jet in place of the aigret. The universal becomingness of the Alsatian bow of some years ago suggests that this one, still more chic, will be an immense success. This is another valuable hint for women of taste who have fairy fin gers.

A GEORGIA HEN COOP.
It Was Sure Proof Against the Inroads of
 Outsiders.

Outsiders.
 There isn't more faithful being on earth, :" said Georgia business man to 3 reporter, "than one of our Georgia darkies. Neither is there one more su perstltious, nor yet again is there one who loves better the products of the hen coop. And Gainesville isn't any diff terent from any one of hundred south arn towns. When I was down there some time ago, customer of mine who had fancy for chickens and who had always had more or less trouble in maintaining ownership of them told me he had remedy and asked me to go around with him and see it. Iwanred him to tell me what it was, but he in- listed on my seeing it first, so went Hong with him. and in few minutes was standing in his back yard before what was to me the oldest chicken coop l ever saw. It was constructed of large timbers and there were a dozen places in its walls where a hand could be run in and everything cleaned out within reach. Then there was no fas- tening on the door, nor was there any kind of protection to the fowls. 1 couldn't understand how such an in- viting snap could be of any use to the owner and said as much.
 The charm is in the timber, said be.
 &e. said
 " Fact just the zamo. sad he. .Iou don 't see ]. el tus outside and vGn don know it, but the darkies around here do, and they won't come within 100 yards of that coop if they can help it. l don't care how full of chickens 1t is. Cause why? It is built of the tint bers of a gallows on which a man was hung about three months ago in another coun- ty. It cost me something extra to get it, but it has more than paid for itself since l have had it, and I am in the market now to buy all the secondhand scaffolds in Georgia. If you run across a sheriff any place with one for sale. let me know by next mail, won't you, please?'
