FORCING A FASHION.
How HITS Were Introduced to the
South African Sayages.

Andres De Nilliers, n Boer, was the
person who first introduced hats among
the South African natives, says the
Hatters' Gazette, and profit. not PHI
lanthropy, was his motive. One morn
ing many years ago he CHANGED in Port
Elizabeth TO come across Il consign-
ment of damaged hats offered for Il
mere song. He bought the whole lot.
packed them away in his wagon and
started for Kaffirland.
When he reached Tembuland. he I'M
loaded his stock, opened his kegs of lid-
nor, without which no trade was made
in those days, and began business. But
he found his venture likely to prove an
Improbable one. The natives did not
want hats. They wanted blankets and
beads and looking glasses and above
all liquor, but they looked askance at
hats. Then a bright idea came to An
dries. He wanted to introduce those
nats. He did introduce them. His sim
pie eXpedient was to refuse to sell any
thing to Kaffir unless he bought n
hat too. The Kaffirs wanted his goods
so they bought the hats
When Kafiir buys anything, he

tlves therefore donned their head gear
and returned to their kraals. Now ap-
peared the brilliancy of the traders
idea. Fashion rules the world. 1t is as
strong in Africa as in America, and
when those who had stayed ut home
saw the travellers return in all the glo-
ry of this strange covering they felt
bchindhand and old fashioned. Their
desire to possess the latest thing in
hats became intense. They paid An
dries Il visit. and his stock no longer
hung heavy upon his hands. The hats
We're soon sold.
This happened some time ago, and
now every trading store keeps Il supply
of hats constantly on hand. They are
said to he manufactured expressly for
the natives. and no one who chances at
the show will doubt it.

Church end MnrISmen.

1t would be an eXaggeration to say
that all working people feel antago-
nistic toward the church. Their general
attitude is rather that of indifference.
The thinking poor are well enough
aware that there is nothing unnatural
in the situation and that If the tables
were so turned that world advantage
shifted to their side it would probably
remain unchanged. At times their feel
ing, especially toward the clergy, is Gu
riously sympathetic. Say" remarked
n labor leader of vivid mind to the
writer-'say, I'm awfully sorry for
ministers. Most of them are real good
men. They know we'll enough what
Christ meant, and they'd like first rate
to preach if they dared. But, Lord,
how can they? They've got to draw
their salaries; they've got families to
support" All this quite without n
touch of irony.-Vida d. Scudder in

A JUGGLER'S TRICK.
Clever Feat of Illusion Performed by
East Indian.

East Indian.
The wonderful feats of East Indian
jugglers have formed the theme of
many Il letter from travellers in the
orient, but none is more surprising than
that for which an old seadoS vouches.
While he was an officer on board
L. and o. steamship two natives came
aboard Mt Madras. he says. They were
Il juggler and his assistant. After they
had performed number of minor
fcats and gathered quite a crowd
around them they called for sack
and piece of Sailcloth.
These having been provided, the
chief juggler made Il small tentlike
structure with the canvas and some
stools. He then placed his assistant
in the sack and allowed IL sailor to tie
the knot which bound him Il fast pris-
Oner. This done, the chief carried the
sack into an open space, warning the
people to stand back some distance,
and then carried on an animated con
versation with his assistant, whose re-
plies could be distinctly heard coming
from the sack. Suddenly the chief
rushed forward, picked up the sack
and dumped it overheard, where, TO
the horror of the passengers and crew,
it sank out of sight.
Immediately the captain rushed for
ward and seized the man, under the
full belief that he had murdered his
companion, but the juggler only
smiled and, pointing to the canvas,
asked that it be raised. This was
DONE and the supposed drowned man
was discovered suuatti on the deck
So realistic had been the throwing
overheard, however, that it was some
time before the surprised passengers
could realize murder had not been
committed.
