HAT OF SPUN GLASS.

VIII Prevent Frequent
Imitation.

A guest M one of the leading New
Orleans hotels put in an appearance in
the office wearing a very peculiar look
ing hat. At first glance il seemed TO be
of finely woven brown straw, but closer
scrutiny showed that the material was
evidently something else. 1t was passed
around among a group Of friends, and
they all took a guess. One thought it
was prepared silk. and another thought
81 was asbestos. says the New Orleans
Times-Democrat.

man; 1T is made of spun glass. You

SAVING SILVER AT THE MINT.
Iron Tools Eaten Away by Acid to
Preserve Their Precious
Coating.

Perhaps the most interesting scheme
for the recovery of waste silver at the
mint is that applied TO the utensils of
the melting gang, says the New Orleans
Times-DemOcrat.
The big iron stirring rods. the dip
pers, the strainers and the ladies' that
come I'm contact with the molten metal
are laid aside at intervals and sent
downstairs. They are covered with
what looks like brown rust, but is really
oxidized silver.
Suppose, 10 digress a moment. one
desired to get a coat of paint of the
outside of a house In such am event
the plan of scraping away the hose
and leaving the shell of paint standing
would be regarded as somewhat eccen-
trio, yet that is substantially the meth
cd adopted at the mint.
The implements are placed in bahs
of sulphuric acid. which attacks the
iron or steel, but leaves the silver I'M
touched.
They are very curious, these fragile
casts. Their surface 70 a sort of nat
ural fligree, honeycombed with innu-
merable fantastic perforations. The
reproduction Of a bolt or screw is often
times as perfect as an electrotype, but
they are hurried remorselessly back to
the crucible and thus pursue their cycle
until at last they find their Karma in
minted coin

PASSENGERS LOVE Hin.
Street Car Conductor Who Charms
His Fares with His Mellow
Whistle.

There is a conductor on the Indiana
avenue trolley beloved by every pas
senger who travels on the line. lie is
no better looking than other conduct
ors. Nor is he more polite. Nor does
he allow people to ride free. But De
can whistle with his fingers, and the
patrons of the line love him, says the
Chicago Inter Ocean.
One of the annoyances of street car
travel is the whistle used by the con-
ductors for giving signals TO the mo-
torman. The conductor goes along on
the footboard with his whistle within
few inches of a passengers ear. He
wants 60 stop the car. He blows on the
instrument of torture-that's what the
nervous people call it-that ne carries
between his lips. a shril blast that
would wake the dead is the result. The
car stops. Then he blows two more.
The car starts. OF course a man can
get used TO almost anything i'm this vale
of tears, but there are many who feel
like lmping out of their skins when
ever that blast sounds in their ears.
1t is very different with this con-
ductor, who learned when a boy TO
whistle on his fingers. lie wears no
whistle of nickel or celluloid between
his lips. When he wants TO stop or
start a car he crooks his first finger,
sticks the crook in his mouth and gives
out a mellow note that Is celestial mu-
sic compared with the din of a nickel
whistle Consequently all the passen-
gers love him.

A .BUSINESsLIKE WOMAN.

of woman's capability for business at

an of them except the present speaker

"We had before MS a grave problem, as
the city of poughAecpsie had de-

about the Sewerage of the college. We
had spent money and money and money

when a woman got upin the board, and,
in very simple and modest fashion,
She said: "Gcntlemcn, ] think if you

AN INDIAN BRIDAL PAIR.
They Were Contcntcd and Happy I'm
Their simple and UncOn-
sciOus Way.

Once / saw pretty thing, a young
bride of the Kickapoos, on a sort of a
wedding trip, says a writer in Ainslee's
Magazine She was tall and slight, and
so closely do the members of a tribe
resemble one another-she looked like
the twin sister of her young husband.
At first they were accompanied by q
stout old chief, but he left after circus
day. 1t is odd TO see an Indian chief
patronize the peanut and lemonade
stands and sit unmoyed at the perform
ance, and yet stand enthralled before
the cages of animals unknown on his
native prairies. The bride and bride
groom spent three or four days in the
town, wandering about as unconscious
ly as Adam and Eve in the garden. The
man was already masterful and pro-
tecting, the girl shy and subservient
Day after day they walked hand in
hand, looking at everything, people,
shops, cattle, but never speaking TO any
one, never even TO each other, vet deep
ly content in the consciousness of COM
partnership. They were a living exam
pie Of The happiness of simplicity, and
while they sta yed in the hustling town
made many civilized man and woman
think of how far their own conduct
as wives and husbands fell short of the
standard of this unconscious Indian
pair.

are that the wool need not be injured

MARTIN LUTHER'S RING.
Engagement hand OF the Great Re
former Comes TO Light in
Norway.

Martin Luther's historical engage
ment ring has been found, and i'm the
possession of Norwegian peasant
woman, Sigrid Hansen Aim, i'm Sender
hordland, in Norway.
How it came TO Norway and when is
unknown, as for centuries the ring has
been an heirloom in the family of all
the women having the name of Sgrid.
Two years ago the German state histori-
cal museum bad advertisements insert
ed in continental newspapers. Slowly
the news found its way to Norway and
was read by the Norwegian peasant
woman. The description of the ring
tailed exactly with the ring i'm posses
sion Of the woman, says a London pa
per.
Consul Jens Gran. in Bergen, was no.
tilted, and at once offered the woman
500 kroner for the ring, which was re-
fused. This is the description given in
Norwegian papers of the ring found:
1T is of silver, considerably worn and
badly scratched. Set in thering is red
pearl, TO represent drop of blood of
Christ. On the outside of the ring is
engraved Christ on the cross. and sever
al OF the subjects of the crucifxion as
the ladder, the lance, etc. and the let
tiers J. n. r. j. (Jesus Nazarenus Rex
Judeorum). On the inside Of the ring is
engraved MARITIME Luther-Catharine
Won Boren-13-7-152S.' and the faint
outlines of two hearts"

made to induce its present owner to per-

PICTURED HORSES.
Artists Conceptions of the Noble
Steed of the Present Are Not
Always Natural

The artists horse of to-day is an alto.
gether different creature from the
artists horse Of q century ago. In years
gone by his neck was arched, his rump
well rounded and his whole bearing
pompous and melodramatic. Ere
quently in the good old days he raised
one foreleg like a setter dog or reared
on both hind legs after the fashion of a
grizzly bear. But things have changed
now, and the pictorial. or marble, steed
has altered his quondam poses for
brisker and more businesslike atti-
tudes While the modern metamorpho-
sis may lack the heroic features
which formerly characterized our
good old friend, I'VE believe the artistic
horse Of the present day is much more
accurate. They say the change is due
almost entirely to the revelations Of
the instantaneous camera. This infal-
lible portrait maker has caught the
steed i'm action and shown us exactly
how he looks. II has always shown us
that when he runs be doubles up Ike
iackknife and throws grace TO the
winds. 1t has likewise demonstrated
the fact that old-time artists had err
roneous ideas as TO how the brute han
died his feet and used his legs. Indeed,
photography has shown MS so many
things about moving horses that strict
accuracy in their portraiture is almost
ridiculous.
