FORGING A FASHION.
How Hats Were Introduced to the
 South African Savages.


 Andrles De Villiers, 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 chanced In Port ment of damaged hats offered for mere song. He bought the whole lot, packed them away in his wagon and started for Kaflirland.
 When he reached Tembuland, he un- loaded his stock, opened his kegs of liq- uor, without which no trade was made in those days, and began business. But he found his venture likely to prove an unprofitable 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 bright idea came to An dries. He wanted to introduce those hats He did introduce them. His sim pie eXpedent was to refuse to sell any thing to q Kaffir unless he bought a hat too. The Kaffirs wanted his goods, so they bought the hats.
 When Kaffir buys anything, he feels bound to make use of 1t. The na- tives therefore donned their head gear and returned to their kraals. Now ap- peared the brilliancy of the traders idea. Fashion rules the world. It is as strong in Africa as in America, and when those who had stayed at home saw the travellers return in all the glo- ry of this strange covering they felt behindhand and old fashioned. Their desire to possess the latest thing in hats became intense. They paid An dries a visit. and his stock no longer hung heavy upon his hands. The hats were soon sold.
 This happened some time ago, and now every trading store keeps supply of hats constantly on hand. They are said to be manufactured expressly for the natives, and no one who glances at the show will doubt it.

An odd Nugget of Gold.

There have been many large and oddly shaped gold nuggets found N the United States and elsewhere, bit the oldest of them all was that dis covered at the Midhas mine, on Sulky gully, near Melbourne, Australia. in 1887. The nugget vas flat and almost the exact counterpart in contour of a colossal human hand held open, with the exception Of the thumb and fore finger. which were closed together in manner so as to make it appear that the thumb was holding the finger in place. It's greatest length was l2h inches and it's greatest breadth s Inches.
 It was of the very purest gold, with but a little of foreign substances ad herring, mostly between the ringers" and weighed 617 ounces. It was found in the northwest main drive of the Midhas mine, 120 feet below the sur. face of the earth and at spot only fifty feet from where the famous Lady Brassey nugget was discovered the year before. It weighed fifty-one pounds of pure gold.

The Earth's Other Motion. 7Erss


 The earth, in addition to Its diurnal pnd annual revolutions, has slow wabbling of its axis. motion seldom mentioned even in the textbooks of as- tronomy. This curious motion may be properly likened to that imparted to when it Is in rapid movement, the touch causing the upper end of the tops stem to describe small circle. So. too, the mighty sun lays hold of the rim of the great terrestrial top, and it begins to oscillate in the long period of 21,000 years-that Is to say. on Dec 21, 124S. the earth made it's nearest approach to the sun. and 1t will approach equally near in 10,500 years from that time. or on the 21st day of June in the year l1,14S. This has all to do with climate both north and south of the equatorial line.
 In the period comprising the first our northern winters are short and mild and our summers are long and sunny. But during the period of which the year 11.74S will be the mid dle our winters will be awful in their severity and our summers short and cool. Even now the northern hemi- sphere is slowly but surely losing its long, sunny summers. and if you should live until the winter of the year 1,74S 40 you could tell story of cold and snows that would pale to lnsigniticance the stories of the cold winter of 1S33- 34. for the whole northern hemisphere will then be in the midst of its great .:a ta.rible writer.

Adeaunte Revocation.

An old Scotswoman had imbibed co much of the doctrine that music in church was sinful that when she came to this country she refused to sub scribe to the general sentiment in fa- vor of choir singing, etc. She scowled one day in her own church when the congregation took up an anthem that was scored rather elaborately and complained to her pew neighbor of the foothold the devil was getting even in the service of God. says the Philadel- phia Times.
 But" protested her neighbor. that anthem is very old and very sacred. Why. David sang it before Saul"

city editor of the Gazette, died suddenly
at his home, 217 North Bluff street, on
Wednesday morning at 800 o'clock.
Death came almost without warning and
the announcement of the sad news, which
spread rapidly through the city was a
great shock and sorrowful surprise to
the community where Mr.. Spencer was
so widely known. Death was due to
heart failure, resulting from asthma with
which deceased had been great suffer
err. During the past year he had suf-
fered several severe attacks and in three
instances his life had been saved only by
the prompt and persistent treatment of
physicians.

A Gruesome Find.

The city of Beloit is stirred up over
the mysterious finding of skeleton par
TALLY dressed with boots on and in a de-
cayed wooden box surrounded by lime
on farm near that city. The gruesome
lind was made on Saturday last by a
farmer named Andrew Roth as he was
digging new cellar under his house.
The find is very mysterious and the re-
mains as found demonstrated that they
had been in the earth for a long time
No one is missing from the city or has
been during the past few years but the
appearance of lime and boots on the
body gave the idea that foul play had
been committed An old inhabitant
says that thirty years ago man and a
woman and a child very mysteriously
disappeared and it is thought that the
present find will in some way clear this
up. Mr.. Roth was digging cellar for
his new house to replace one that had
been burned down last fall. He was
making the walls deeper when he found
the skeleton. 1t was drawn out by
piecemeal and nothing but few strips
of clothing and the boots were found.
There was much lime in the vicinity and
it is thought that the body was placed
there in the expectation that it would
be completely eaten up and never found.

a New Tobacco Tying Device.

A. L. Fisher and J. ". Clark of James
vile were in town Tuesday exhibiting to
local tobacco men new tobacco tying
device which they believe is destined to
revolutionize the method of tying up to-
bacco by hand. The invention is small
machine designed to fasten upon sort
ing table so that the operator with one
movement of the lever ties up hand of
tobacco neatly and completely with
Irvine. 1t is expected that the machines
can be put on the market at a price
probably not to exceed $500 each) that
need not be bar to it's general use in
the warehouses. The advantages of the
machine are set forth in the following
claims of the inventors:
"By using this tobacco tying machine
each sizer is enabled to handle one
fourth more tobacco.
Irvine is substituted for tyers and
two pounds of cord takes the place of
twenty five pounds of leaves.
Properly operated it saves time and
material and is a guarantee of uniform
ity in workmanship.
1T is easily operated and is guaran-
teed to do good work.
Tobacco tied with this machine is not
liable to rot and mould at the butts.
Manufacturers will gain at least five
% per cent by this process, as there will
be no damaged butts and curly tyers.
"The simplicity and cheapness OF this
machine is positive guarantee of its
usefulness, and every skilled sizer in op-
Grating is enabled to make the machine
earn fifty go cents per day in the sizing
rooms"

SAMUEL H, COON,

In the death of Mr.. Samuel Fl. Coon,
at his home in Milton on Sunday last,
another of the early pioneers of the state
has gone to his reward. Samuel Hub

son county, n. Y, December 18th, 1916,
and consequently was in his seth year.
Ee was one of the oldest of family of
eleven children, only two of whom now
survive. He was one of the early set
tiers of the town of Christiana, Dane
county, coming there and entering gov
eminent homestead as early as 1915.
While most Of his life was passed upon a
farm in that township, for short per-
iod he conducted the American House
in this city. About fifteen years ago he
removed to Milton which has since been
his home. A widow, son and two
daughters survive, the latter being mar
ried to Geo. H. and Milton Howard, both
of whom were hardware merchants in
Edgerton some years ago, the former
now living at Minneapolis and the latter
at Rice Lake, Wis.
Funeral services were held from his
late home Monday, conducted by the
Rev. L. A. Platts, and the interment
made in the cemetery at Milton.
