When woman feels that the response

SHOOTS THE WHIRLPOOL
RAPIDS

Yesterday afternoon Peter Nissen, of
Chicago, made trip through the
Whirlpool Rapids to the Whirlpool in
small boat twenty feet long, six feet
beam and four feet deep. When Nissen
went to Niagara Falls yesterday he
gave the name OF "Bowser," while his
BOAT was named the "Fool Killer"
His trip yesterday was wonderfully
successful.
At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon his
boat was towed from the Canadian to
the New York shore, stopping midway
between the falls and the rapids. MIS-
zen was backward about going to Can.
ada, fearing arrest, so he went down a
ladner on the American side and took
aIowboat to his craft.
he spent two hours in preparing the
boat for the trip and at four o'clock
was towed out into mid:tream by a
boy in boot. When the line
vas cast of Nissen drifted down
with The current, but was caught
by an eddy on the Canadian side
aud held three quarters ofan hour until
he boat again picked him up and took
aim in tow. When cast off the second
time he took the main current, and was
soon sweeping into the rapids. AS he
oeared the bridges he put out his cork
Jacket and took ho,d of life line in his
GOAT. Now and then he waved to the
!rowds.
His boat took the first waves in nice
,tyle, il rode high in the water and he
went quite adistance without even get
ing wet. When he reached the wave
where Captain Webb lost his life the
water struck him terrible blow, and
some thought be was swamped. Wave
after wave broke over him and from this
IN his boat rode sideways and this
brought the force of the water full
gsinst him.
By this time it was continuous toss
ng, but at no time did the craft capsize.
Il was so heavily weighted that it held q
,ood position and when at 5:02 he shot
.ato the whirlpool, ,Nissen was still in the
GOAT. After it had proceeded across the
pool be was seen to stand up. He drift
ID around the pool about lorty feet out
rom the Canadian shore. He went
,round the pool four times and his ex-
perience was thrilling. The first time
around he saw boy fishing on rock
and attempted to throw line to him.
The boy was so frightened that he did
1ot get the line. Then Nissen drifted
on.
More than once he was caught in deep
ehirls and his boat stood on end repeat
=dlv. The water in the river Was very
aign and this had brought large
AMOUNT of driftwood logs aud timber
INTO the pool. Right into the midst of
his Nissin and. his little craft were
swept. Finally he got free OF the debris
nd was carried well in toward the Ca
ian shore where three boys swan out
md took hold of his line and towed bim
.shore at o'clock, after an hour In the
,ool. He was cold from the exposure.
After warming at fire be was helped
Up the bank and driven to his hotel.

HATS OF OUR ANCESTORS.
Changes That Have Taken Place sn
 Manufacturing Headgear.

Manufacturing Headgear.
 Speaking of the hat business,s said 2 veteran of the business to the local historian, most wonderful changes have taken place since 1850 In olden times soft felt and derby hats were not known, and it was as late as 1843 when silk dress hats were first intro duced in this country, this being a French invention, and all silk plush used for hats in the world was, up to this time made in France. When Kos auth came to America he introduced the soft felt hats. wearing one him. self It did not take American matters long to take up the idea, and in less than one year old and young Ameri- cans covered their heads with Kossuth hats. They were in shape only being trimmed up with a nice, long ostrich plume. Along about 1858 an English tourist came along with the derby hat, and in very few years they became the general headgear 1n the country, and up to the present date the demand for soft hats and derby hats is nearly evenly divided. In those days all the best class of soft aats were imported from France, and stiff derbies from England. This, how ever, has taken a material change, as American hats are now sold in all parts of the globe, and it is known fact that we produce the most tasty and best hats made. Before the ar rival of Kossuth and the English tour ist, however, the Americans did not go bareheaded, but contented them selves with mapped otter and mapped beaver hats, for the more expensive, and the se-ealled seratchup or brush hats for the cheaper Brush or scratch up derive their name from the fact that nap was raised on them by means of stiff crush constructed of whale homes.

EVOLUTION OF WALLPAPER.
It Took Time to Introduce It and Bring
 It to Its Present Perfection.


 It to Its Present Perfection.
 From the Paper Trade: While va- rious kinds of printed fabrics were known to the people of most remote antiquity it was not till the eighteenth century that wallpaper anywhere near its present form came into common use in Europe, though it appears to have been used much earlier in China. A few rare examples which may be as early as the sixteenth century exist in England, but these are limitations, gen. erally in 'flock," of the old Florentine and Genoese cut velvets, and hence the style of the design in no way shows the date of the wallpaper, the same traditional patterns being reproduced with little or no change for many years. It was not till the end of the last century that the machinery to make paper in long strips was invent ed. Up to that time wallpapers were printed on small square pieces of hand made paper and were very expensive. On this account wallpaper was slow in superseding the older mural deeora- tons, such as tapestry, stamped leather and paper cloth. A work printed in London in 1744 throws some light on the use of wallpapers of that time: "Fhe method of printing wall papers of the better sort is probably the same now that it has ever been. Wooden blocks, with the design cut in relief, one for each color, are applied by hand, after being dipped in an elastic cloth sieve charged with wet tempera pigment, great care being taken to lay each block exactly on the right place, so that the various eolors may register or get together In or der to suit the productions of the pa- per mills these blocks are made in England twenty-one inches wide. and in France eighteen inches wide. The length Of the block is limited to what the workman can easily lift with one hand-two feet being about the limit, as the blocks are necessarily thick and in many cases made heavier by being inlaid with copper, especially the thin outlines. which, if made of wood, would not stand the wear and tear of printing. In flock and gold or silver printing the design is first printed in strong size, the flock (fnely cut wool of the required color) or metallic pow der is then sprinkled by hand over the paper; it adheres only to the wet size, and is easily shaken off the ground or unsized part If the pattern is re- quired to stand out in some relief the process is repeated several times and the whole paper then rolled to eom- press the flock. Cheaper sorts of paper are printed by machinery, the design being cut on the surface of wooden rollers, under which the paper passes. The chief drawback to this process is that all the colors are applied rapidly, one after the other, without allowing each to dry separately, as is done in hand printing. A somewhat blurred appearance is usually the result

.DEFRAUDED.
By New Plan of Bank swindIing Ky
 Duplicate Draft.


 Boston Special Chicago Tribune: A new scheme to defraud the banking houses of this community has been dis covered through the officials os the Massachusetts National bank The of ficials are assisting the police in this country and those of the Scot sad Yard force in unraveling the matter. The manner in which it is worked is as fol- lows: A man enters q bank aud pur- ehases a draft, at the same time tell ing the 7hier that he Is goit 2 abroad and would like to have duplicate drawn. He takes both of the drafts away, ard the original is either taken CT sent to Europe by the swindler, Some bank in London cashes the origi- nal draft, and the duplicate is eashed on the continent 3y some unsuspeeting person. In this way the swindlers double their money. Paper issued by the Massachusetts National bank was used by one of the swindlers to secure S2.000 from bank in Switzerland The man who had the transaction with the local bank told the cashier that he was going abroad and that he would like to have the drafts in two parts. He pur- chased two drafts of s1 900 each. These were drawn on London bank. Re- gently word was received from London that one Of the drafts marked dupli. cate had been cashed there. A few days ago a letter was received from a banking house in Switzerland, stating that it had cashed the original draft for the party to whom Miller had in- dorsed it. The cashier of the Massaehu- setts National bank wrote to bank ing house in Troy, N. T., and asked that institution to look up a man giv- ing the name of J. P Miller, who had bought the draft in March. The bank ing house replied that it found three people of that name, all reputable bus mess men. No one of the three an- swered the description of the Miller who bought the drafts The Switzer- land bank will be the loser in this case, as the person who cashed the draft should have demanded the dupli- rate as well as the original before cash ing it.

BURIED HIS LEG,
And Had an Expensive Tombstone Placed
 Over the Grave.

Calumet (Mieh.) Correspondence of the Detroit Journal In the little vil- lage of L'Anse lives shoemaker named Peter Murphy, who is one of the most eccentric men in northern Michigan on just one subject. Ten years ago the physicians found 1t nee- essary to amputate one of his legs just above the knee. When he recovered from the operation he decided that the part of his leg which had been taken off was dead and therefore it should be buried, and he arranged to have funeral service. The amputated mem- Der was placed in small coffin and buried with all the pomp and cere- mony MT. Murphy would have eX- peeted if it had been his own funeral. He attended the funeral himself and wept genuine tears as the earth was shoveled on top of the rough box. But this didn't end his devotion to that part of his body which was dead. He purchased an expensive tombstone, had a likeness of the leg cut into the stone. and then had it inscribed with the facts of the case, telling that 1t was Peter Murphy's leg, and the date of the funeral. Although this all hap pened ten years ago, MT. Murphy never neglects the sacred spot where his leg is buried, and every week he hobbies out to the cemetery, where in the sum mer time he keeps the grave prettily decorated with flowers. His wish is that when he dies the remainder of his body shall be inferred with his leg Murphy is a veteran of the civil war, and his injuries during one of the bat ties were the indirect cause of his hay ing the leg cut off.
