presiding spirit,
she was particularly precise, and espe-
cially in the supervision of the culinary
department The kind-hearted yet Sc
we're old soul kept after Matilda, the
kitchen girl, with Il relentless persist
ency and hawk-eyed vigilance which
often made the poor girl sigh for relief
from her surveillance, for anything
that was done amiss had to be careful
Iy rehearsed under the direct super
vision of her nspectOr-general. AS a
result the culinary skill of Aunt Martha
came to be known and Dragged of
throughout her wide circle OF friends
and acquaintances; and when anybody
wanted to speak in praise of anybody
else's pies or puddings the invariable
verdict was: Most as good as Aunt
Mnrthas."
One evening small but select com.
pany Of Aunt Martha's friends was In.
vited to take dinner with her, in celebra-
tion of her brothers birthday anniver-
sary. and she had given every detail
of the cooking thereof her personal at
tention. The soup, meat, etc, had all
received her approval before being
placed before her guests, but when it
came to the dessert, that she insisted
upon preparing with her own hands.
She made one of her famous cabinet
puddings, as treat for the occasion,
and there was general rejoicing among
her guests over the prospect of insert
ing their teeth in the much-vaunted
dainty.
The pudding had been passed ere it
dawned upon Aunt Martha that she had
not made any sauce for it. Such an
oversight would have been almost in
eXcusable on the part of anyone else,
and the dear old soul was honest enough
TO declare that the error was even worse
for its commission by herself. She wns
compelled to confess that in her haste
she had overlooked that important item,
but springing to her feet she exclaimed:
Wait a moment! I'll make sauce in
jiffy," and darting into the pantry she
skirmished around for hardly more than
moment and reaPpeared with a look
of triumph in her eyes and bowl of
translucent, palatable-looking sauce
in her hands.
THERE she said, as she proceeded
to help each dish generously. Il guess
we will have sauce if Aunt Martha is a
little forgetful. don't see, for the life
of me, how came to forget it; but law.
I'm getting old and careless"
This candid acknowledgment brought
| sly smile to the faces around the table,
and to thoroughly convince their good
hostess of their willingness to forgive

AN AMATEUR VOLCANO.
Eruption of Mount Olympus Wash.
Traced to Turning Ignite.

Traced TO burning LtKnlte.
The Mount Olympus sensation which
lately scared the good people of Wash
irgton state with the idea that vol
cano was in active operation in that
great mountain, has been brought to
sudden end by the return of an eN-
ploring party to find out what was the
matter.
1t seems that earth in that vicinity
is interlaid with veins of Ignite coal.
Forest trees have fallen into the crev-
ices and gorges, enormous quantities
of leaves have drifted down upon these,
and by some means fires have been
started which have communicated with
the coal veins. Great jets of steam and
the sides of the mountain and these
confirmed the theory that there was
a genuine volcano in operation. 1t
seems that the heat has melted the
snow which has formed perpetual
white cap at the summit. This, trick
ling down the sides of the mountain in
streams, has fallen upon the fire, which
accounts for the great volume of steam
i The puffs of smoke and explosions are
thought to be caused by the ignition
of collections of natural gas.
This condition of affairs naturally
leads to the inquiry whether a good
many volcanic eruptions might not be
traceable to burning Ignite and the
explosions of large quantities of cor
fined gases. Be that as it may, Mount
, Olympus is seething mass of burning
coal, and the volcano scare amounts
to nothing-N. Y. Ledger.

STRAW HATS.
Panama's Lead But There Are Many
Other Good Varieties,

From the New York sun.
The cheap Panama hat so called,
worn by nine out of every ten on the
street, is a poor imitation Of the genu-
inc article. Many of these hats are
not made of anything approaching
Panama straw. Great quantities Of
Panama grass are exported from South
America to France. where the grass is
split and woven into French or split
Panama. Even in South America
some split Panama straw is made. The
grass is split so carefully that often
no one save connoisseur could tell the
finished straw from genuine whole
grass Panama; but II is far inferior
in durability and texture and is not
worth one-ifth the value of the genuine
Panama.
Next to Panama straw in value,
comes very fine quality Of split
straw manufactured in Belgium. Some
of these hats are very expensive and
the work upon them is remarka oily
good. The superintendent of a New
York hat factory is at present wearing
as fine a specimen Of these Belgian
straw hats as was ever made. There
are over three hundred yards of the
braid in the one hat.
Japan furnishes many of the straws
that are used for mems hats here.
new japanese braid called Kurako ie
popular for sailor hats this summer,
The Chinese do good deal OF straw
plating, but they are improving their
split straw and it is beginning to as
sumo some Importance. France, Italy,
Saxony, Belgium and England send us
straw.
Filipino straws are being worn 10
some extent here this season and have
the merit of being cool and well-ven-
tilated, but they are cheap and poor
in quality. Porto Rican hats are
coarsely woven and inferior, but there
is talk of a development of the industry
in Porto Rico, under the stimulus of
United States capital and management,
and hat makers believe that a ine
grade of straw could he made there &C.
In Mexico, the palma grass Is woven
into sombreros of varying qualities, but
even the best Mexican hat is not worth
more than $25. The hat OF this quality
is finely woven, bat has not the Pana-
ma virtue of lightness. on the other
hand the cheap straw sombreros woven
of wheat straw, are cool, light ana
practically indestructible, though coarse
and inelegant in appearance. The
Mexican straw hats are finding a ready
sale here this summer for the first
time.
