English Straw Hats.
From the New York Sun.


The style In straw hats for men have
undergone a curious change in recent sea-
sons and this Is observed most str1kineIv
by travellers from London. Seven or eight
years ago the straw hats worn in England
had narrow brims and low crown and
were generally smaller than any to be had
at the New York stores and so had TO be
imported or made to order After a while
the makers, unable any longer to resist the
demands OF their customers for hats OF this
kind. reluctantly began to make the small
er hats and have ever since continued to
manufacture hats made on this general
style.
In England the change In mems fashions
has brought larger hats into the mode and
the small headgear which is now seen in
London on the heads of travellers ts eyery-
where known as the American style The
small hats have. however, gone out Of style
among the persons most particular about
such matters and next to the Panama the
large London hat Is most in demand. The
american hats have in nearly eyerv mar
ticuiar the advantage over those made in
England They are lighter, cooler and ger
eraiiy Mt the head better It is oniv q
question OF the form that sometimes eivs.

against the seine The capstans start on
the quarter lines which are run out to the
quarter posts one after another, for with
out the help of steam the work of pulling
through the water 5000 feet of seine would
be colossal.
The Largest HauIs.
The whole process moves like clockwork-
class OF well organized and quiet laborers
working under a system so well planned
that the captain can at any moment turn
to chat with visitors, and the work still
go on. Nearly all signals are given by
the steam whistle. AS the seine reaches
the apron, should the strain upon the quar-
ter lines becomes too tense and the hauling
too heavy for the crew, a signal brings all
to a standstill Get the niger" calls the
captain, and small seine is brought out
and put aboard a row boat, all this mean
Ing that a very large catch Is IN the seine
and must be handled in sections.
The largest haul ever made and handled
was 10000 fish, and it took all day to land
and get them away. Larger numbers have
been surrounded by seine, but rather than
have the fish spoil on their hands the fisher
men push the seine down with an oar let
ting the captives escape, until the number
remaining can be successfully handled.
But two or three trips of the "nigger' are
necessary as rule. and the seine empties
upon the float a silvery mass of Squirming,
white bodies. Coarse sand is thrown upon
them as they founder, and the scales are
whipped eff. The fish are then pushed Into
boxes built under trap doors Through
these the water runs and the fish are quick
ly washed, then scooped into baskets and
empted into the scow. Fifty thousand fish
are cleared away in twenty-five minutes by
the land crew, the boat crew resting in the
meantime.
Carefully Assorted.
Occasionally a herring Is thrown aside.
1t Is because 1t has been smothered under
water and therefore would bloat up after
being cured. A shad keeps as we'll after
dying under water as In the air. When
all the fish are landed the boats crew re-
loads the seine upon the boat, coiling 1t
symmetricaliy, layer upon layer. while the
land crew rests. And so each day is spent.
beginning Monday morning sometimes at
midnight, never later than four, and last
ing until at night, no stop being made
for regular meals. The alternate hours of
leisure are used for that. The tides two
ebb and two flood each day, are carefully
watched as upon them depends the exact
direction in which the seine is taken out
and the time for beginning each morning.
Coffee is to be had for the asking at any
hour. and a peep at their culinary depart
ment Is most interesting. The three cooks
will tell you that two wash boilers full Of

A VerftabIe Nemesis.
From the London Pail Mall Gazette.

rom the London Pau Mall Gazette.
A melodramaic story OF Nemesis quite
oriental in color comes from Knin, in Dali
malta. A substantial cattle dealer, having
sold a couple Of beasts for 800 crowns
stealthily gave the money into his daugh-
ters keeping for safety. On the way home
two men who knew Of the transa ction way
laid the pair and murdered the father, let
ting the girl escape. Fleeing in terror she
at last took refuge in a solitary cottage,
where she told her story to the women,
letting out also the secret OF the money.
The hut turned out to be that OF the mur-
derers, who on returning chagrined at the
barren result of their crime, We're surprised
to learn that the prize still lay unsuspi-
ciously within their grasp. The girl was in
vited to rest for the night, sleeping with
another girl Of about her own age the
murderers intending to strangle her as she
slept. AS it happened. the two girls
changed places during the night, and the
men, going in complete darkness for their
fell work. strangled their own relative.
while the intended victim, paralyzed into
silence. lay still until all was quiet again,
and then managed to make her escape
through the hole in the wall doing duty
as a window. The murderers have been
arrested.
