How a Woman Started the Flourishing
Industry in indianapolis.


"Do you know" said a manufact-
urer, that Indianapolis is the greatest
sunbonnet manufacturing city in the
worldT'
The rise of the sunbonnet as an ar
tlcle of extensive wholesale manu-
facture was accidental and sudden.
Ten years ago there were no manu-
facturers of sunbonnets in this cOun-
try, as far as known. Sunbonnets were
then and had been in use for scores
of years, especially the Old-fashioned
Quaker bingham bonnet. Each COM
munity furnished it's own supply
every woman made her own bonnet.
1t had not occurred to any one that
there would be profit in making them
by the dozen, or hundreds of dozens.
But that thought came to an Indian
apolis woman.
A sunbonnet that she made for her
| self attracted the attention of a neigh
| Dor. 1t was not elaborate. 1t was
simply made, but natty, and the tasti-
ness added practically nothing to its
cost. Would this thrifty woman make
one for her? She would. She did.
| That started the trouble. There were
other neighbors and friends. Bonnets
had to be made by the dozen. Per
haps other women in that city would
be glad to get such bonnets. The large
retail stores were visited and trial or
ders were obtained. These orders
were soon duplicated. Perhaps there
would be a sale of them in Chicago,
in Louisville and St Louis? There
was. .-=, -; ~ Z I. y ~
Once they were sampled there was
too much of a demand for them. Three
or four days after there had been a
shipment of 100 dozen would come
the order: ship another 100 dozen
at once" She had converted sitting
room, dining room, bedroom into sew
ing rooms, but the facilities We're over
taxed. Part of the large barn was
remodeled and fitted up with sewing
machines. cutting tables, etc, but
there was no catching up with or
ders. The large customers, seeing
that the demand could not be supplied
in this way, started to manufacture
their own sunbonnets. Sunbonnets
were not patented, and there was
nothing to prohibit anybody from max
ing even her pattern of them.
AS one large factory after another
was started with unlimited capital be-
hind it, she saw that it was useless
to try to compete in the making of the
popular cheap bonnet, and immediate
ly set to work to manufacture the bet
ter and more expensive kinds and be-
gan the making of sun hats. Compe
tition was headed off this time by the
securing Of patent in a simple device
which enabled the hat and bonnet to
be taken apart to be washed and be
easily put together again and appear
as new.-Indianapolis News.

The more earth that can be left
clinging to the roots Of tree that is
to be transplanted, the more certain is
the tree to live. 1t is wise, then. to dig
about the tree so as to leave bunch
Of earth about the small roots, follow
ing out and gently freeing the long
roots as they are met in cutting cir
Gle about the trunk. Then the tree
must be lifted bodily, if possible.
There are several ways to apply power
for this purpose, one of the best being
shown in the cut. A tripod is rugged

with three stout poles and a lever is
attached in the manner shown. AS
the tree is lifted a new hold" can be
secured by taking up the chain on the
tripod. Where the tree is gripped by
the chain or rope at the end of the
lever the bark should be well wrapped
in old cloth to prevent injury. If the
ground is dry at the time Of transplant
ing it will be necessary to thoroughly
wet the ground all about the trunk,
since the earth will cling together and
to the roots much better in this way.
If dry, the earth falls apart readily.
Elms and naples are not difficult to
transplant, but oaks must be moved
with the greatest care and with as
little disturbance of the roots as is
possible if the trees are to live.-New

woman can manufacture this new
trimming herself by purchasing braid
and steel separately, and attaching the
lengths together to make the required
motif.

Sele ction of Seed Corn.


Corn is not sufficiently rich In pro.
teids, the rarest and most valuable
constituents of a food stuff, to insure
even the best utilization of its wealth
of starch. If the percentage of pro-
teidS could be permanently increased
the value added to this crop would be
incalculable. Analysis of numerous
samples of corn made by the Kansas
experiment station have shown that
not only Is there a great difference be-
tween varieties, but that in different
ears of the same variety the proteids
may vary between So and IA per cent.
In this variation lies the possibility of
great improvement. There is no rea-
sonable doubt that by intelligent and
BILE increase in the proteids may be
made in existing varieties.
Chemical analysis has shown that
the germ is richest in proteids. There
fore, choosing kernels in which the
germ is in larger proportion is all that
is necessary to insure getting seed that
is richer in proteids. Selecting corn
with a large germ is not as difficult as
might be supposed. Take a few grains
froln the ear, neglecting the butt and
tip, where they are more or less dis
torted in form, and with a sharp peck
.et-knife, begin at the tip of a kernel
where 1t was attached to the cob and
make several cross sections from one
thirty-second to one-sixteenth of an
inch In thickness. and observe the rela-

tive proportion of germ that the sec
ton shows. Repeat this on n number
of kernels, and make longitudinal sec
tons of other kernels also. These sec
tons can be made in less time than it
takes to tell how to do it, and by
means of them n very useful judgment
can be passed upon the corn. The rel
atively small amount of seed required
for corn planting makes 1t feasible to
give special attention to selection of
the seed. At the same time attention
should Ire given to the various factors
that combine to produce large yield.
A variety satisfactory in these re-
spects should be chosen as the basis
upon which to develop an improve
ment in the percentage of proteids.-

Guinea Fowls.

If farmers would devote more atten-
ton to Guinea fowls and become ia
miliar with their many good qualities,
we would find them among almost
every flock of poultry.
Guinea fowls cannot, of course, sup
plant or even rival chickens, but they
at least deserve place in the poultry
world.
There is no more delicious or palata-
BILE dish than a young Guinea fowl,
and the eggs, though small, are very
rich and delicate.
The greatest objection to them is
their wild nature, which prompts them
to seek the woods in search Of nests.
The young birds will leave the nest
mother and young are confined in a
tight coop the tiny things will stray off
and die.
They are tender until two weeks old,
after which time, if protected at night,
they grow rapidly, and require practi-
cally no attention.
They must have free range, and
when given it will gather all they re-
Quire to eat, and during winter wealth
er they need no special care, since they
do not begin to lay until spring, any
way
They are not subject to any of the
many diseases which affiict chickens,
and really merit the attention of farm
ers and poultrymen.-Home and Farm.

Poultry For Farmers.

For a certain class of farmers poul-
trykeeping is a very appropriate bust
ness, and may be made very profitable
Those who are possessed of plenty of
patience, kindness and gentleness of
disposition, scrupulous love of order,
"a habit of close observation, and who
are ready in finding out the cause
when anything goes wrong, will be
successful in raising poultry, says a
writer in Prairie Farmer. 1t would
be folly to try to keep fowls on the
borders of a forest or the margin of
swamp on account of the vermin
which infest such places. 1t would be
a great advantage to live near a sum-
mer boarding house where there is
or near large city where early, plump
chickens sell for seventy-five cents per
pound, and where cheap food may be
procured. Upon the character of the
climate depends greatly the kind of
buildings needed for poultry kept for
business and profit. When the chick
ems are sheltered by rows of corn
stalks, rye or potatoes they are safe
from hawks. They are kept busy
scratching in loose ground, and will
scratch out and eat every potato bug.
This furnishes them employment and
some wholesome food. If the owner
of such chicken farm is a gardener
or florist, and his wife manages the
poultry part of the business, producing
every year 200 or 800 pairs of chick
ems for market, besides eggs and old
fowl. success may be reasonably ex-
pected. e.--. ...rs-s5 -sSl.F;t-J l. =

DEFIBD CHICAGO POLICE.
Captain streeter fried to Hold Strip of
Land Extending Into Lake-Superior
Forces Caused Surrender.

CHICAGO, May 2S.-Three hundred po.
lice officers of the city of Chicago, head
ed by Chief Ripley, and every man
bearing a repeating rifle, marched from
the East Chicago avenue station, ON the
North Side, to the foot of Superior
street, where Captain George Streetei
had fortified himself ON a strip of land
created by the washing up of soil from
the bed of Lake Michigan, and which
Streeter claims as his property by right
of discovery.
In the entrenchments were about 7C
men armed with rifles and two Gatline
guns. Earlier in the day party of Lin
coin officials had been fired upon by
pickets around the improvised fort, and
a boy IA years old had been wounded
severely in the right leg. A horse driv.
en-by the park officials had been killed
A fireboat, with Gatling gun aboard,
was dispatched up Lake Michigan to
make demonstration from that side
and to cut off the escape of Streeter':
men by means of their yacht.
A man named Niles surrendered tc
the park police ON seeing the other force
approach. He and four men were
roughly handled by the crowd that
gathered, the rest escaping in the
throng. Captain Streeter was not found
at the fort.
The land Streeter claimed to own
would, if his title to it were clear, be
worth between $50, 900, 900 and $50, ,0O0,'
600. In 1885 Captain Streeter and his
wife were stranded on little sandbar q
few yards from the shore at the foot o,
Superior street. He laid claim to the
land.
AS the years passed, by the dumping
of all sorts of refuse and earth washed
up the lake formed large tract.
The tract became connected with the
shore, and the owners of adjoining
property resented the presence of Cap
tain Streeter and the retainers he had
gathered about him. They carried the
matter into court. The supreme court
of the United States decided that the
land was within the jurisdiction of the
state of Illinois. Streeter, thereupon,
offered the district to the federal gov.
ernment
A year ago he organized, under the
name District of Lake Michigan, a
territorial government, and elected him
self chief justice and to other offices of
importance. The police, however, de.
scended upon him and his army of 80
men, and since then up to Saturday the
captain had lived in another part of
town.

phenomenon was not well seen until the
shadow reached New Orleans. From
this point to Norfolk it swept across the

about minute 13 seconds at New Ut
leans and about minute 40 seconds al
Norfolk. The longest duration wa'
about 2 minutes 8 seconds.
A number of astronomers were in the
south, for observation, while some oI
the Europeans were expected to observe
it in the Mediterranean region. A,
least two Americans were i'll that region
Mr.. Percival Lowell, of Boston, and
Prof. David P. Todd, of Amherst col
lege, as his coadjutor, fitted up special
expedition to observe the eclipse al
Tripoli, at which point they arrived
with their instruments and materials
more than a month ago.
A number of parties from American
colleges observed the eclipse at Nor.
folk, Va, Wadesboro, N. c., and other
points.
One of the parties in the south was
that of Prof. Langley from the Smith.
sonian institute. This party was unusu-
ally large, both i'll numbers and the
magnifcence of its outfit. 1t had been
aided by an appropriation from congress.
A number of Photographic telescopes
We're brought into requisition, two of
them of such long focus that they were
fixed in a horizontal position. The
image of the eclipsed sun was thrown
into them by means of n mirror
The weather bureau had a party in
charge of Prof. Cleveland Able. This
party devoted special attention to the
polarization of the light of the sky.
Another party, aided by an appropri.
alton from congress, was that from the
naval observatory, accompanied by as
sociate members from a number of uni
versities.
President and Mrs. Mckinley and
party witnessed the eclipse on the dis.
patch boat Dolphin. The Dolphin cir.
cled around the battleship Kearsarge,
which was anchored in the Roads, and
afterward cast her anchor not far from
the Chamberlain hotel.
Secretary Gage and party of friends
arrived at Old Point on the lighthouse
tender Holly to witness the phenome
non. Speaker Henderson and several
members of the house also reached Old
Point last night.
