FORCING A FASHION.
Row Hats Were Introduced to the
South African Savaxes.

~~" mats were introduced 10 tA0
South African Savages.
Andres De Villiers. Boer. was the
person who first introduced hats among
the Houth African natives. says the
datters Gazette, and profit, not phi
lantnropy. was his motive. One morn
ing many years ago he CHANGED in Port
EllzaDeth to come across cOnsign-
ment OF damaged hats offered for
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 liQ-
uor, 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 bright idea came to An
dries. He wanted to introduce those
hats. He did introduce them. His SIM
pie expedient was to refuse to sell any
thing to Kaffir unless he bought
Lat lOO. uc AuIlrS WUut0u LIS SOOUS,
SO they bought the hats.
When Kaffir buys anything, he
feels bound to make use Of it. The ma
tives 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 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 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.

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

The wonderful feats of East Indian
jugglers have formed the theme of
many a letter from travellers in the
orient, but none is more surprising than
that for which an old seadog vouches.
While he was an officer on board a
p. and 0. steamship two natives came
aboard at Madras, he says. They We're
a juggler and his assistant. After they
had performed a number of minor
feats and gathered quite a crowd
around them they called for a sack
and piece Of sailcloth.
These having been provided, the
chief juggler made a small tentlike
structure with the canvas and some
stools. He then placed his assistant
in the sack and allowed sailor to tie
the knot which bound him 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 squatting on the deck
SO realistic had been the throwing
overheard. however. that it was some
time before the surprised passengers
could realize a murder had not been
committed.

A kindergarten teacher in the Stuy-
vesant Heights district closed her
school at the appointed time this sea-
son, says the Washington STAR but be-
fore doing so she thought it would be
a good time on the last morning to give
the children final little lecture on the
care of the body. She did this, she ex-
planned, in order that the little tots
might know how to take good care of
themselves during the summer vaca-
ton. The class was quite a large one,
and in it's membership were a number
of bright little folk, among them
Dorothy, the four-year-old daughter of
an uptown druggist.
The teacher had the little folk name
over the different parts of the body,
the heart, lungs and trunk, but it was
with some difficulty that she could get
any of the children to name the stom-
ach. The little folk understood what
the trunk was. and then the teacher
wanted to know what the trunk con-
tanned, as it was important to the lee
ture that she give points regarding the
care of the stomach. Persistent in
quiries failed to arrive at the naming
of the important organ, and it looked
like a lecture failure, when the teacher
again anxiously inquired:
What is in the trunk?''
Up went little Dorothy's hand, and,
swapping her thumb and finger, she
called out:
Il know, teacher, know"
well, what is it?"
Oatmeal" said Dorothy, and the
lecture went over.

Mark of Divine Favor

A good story is told in the English
papers of how the Somali Mad Mullah
worked one of those miracles" which
drew many waverers to his banner.
An English man-of-war was sent to
demonstrate off the coast, and at night
threw searchlight on to the jungle
covered mountains. Abdullah was in
hiding there, and, knowing from his
visits to Alden what it was that his
followers hailed as a new star, told
them that the light was seeking him.
When the electric rays actually
flooded his encampment he cried in
triumph: Twill you deny now that I
am under the eye of God?"
The Somali fell on their knees, beat
the earth with their foreheads and re-
piled: Thou art truly the Elect, the
Chosen, the Mullah, the Master. Our
goods, our existence, our souls belong
to thee. We place ourselves entirely at
the disposition of thy will

A Heroic Cure.

DIR. S. Weir Mitchell has the repu-
tation among his patients of being
somewhat dictatorial in his way OF
giving advice, says the Saturday Even
ing Post. He certainly expects his COM
mands to be followed with unquestion-
ing obedience.
Some years ago DIR. Mitchell had
among his patients a lady who had
been suffering for a long time from
nervous pros tTation. She was greatly
debilitated by disease and was too
weak to rouse herself to any physical
effort. DR.. Mitchelrs first advice was:
Get out in the fresh air. Take a
walk"
The doctors medicines were taken
faithfully, but his advice was ignored.
Again and again was his advice given,
and just as often it fell on unheed-
ing ears. Finally the doctor one day
invited the invalid to drive with him,
and after much persuasion she was
assisted into the carriage, and the doc
tor and patient drove off together. The
horses were turned down a side street
where there were no street cars, and
after two or three blocks had been
passed the carriage stopped, the doc
tor jumped out and invited the lady
to descend, and before she could in
quire as to the reason for this, the
doctor had jumped into his carriage
and driven off, leaving the invalid
standing on the sidewalk. She must
perforce walk home.
The friends of DR.. Mitchell who tell
the story do not say whether the pa
tents subsequent improvement in
health was such as to compel her for
giveness for this high-handed treat
ment from the brusque old doctor, but

Director of Charities Cooley of Cleve-
land, o., has been investigating the
condition of the citys working women.
In a report which he has prepared he
says he is grievously surprised at what
he found. He learned that the aver
age cost of living for a woman of
the working class is 1924 per week.
while the average wage is but $4.S3
In commenting on these suggestive
figures the director says: ITO those
who are permitted to see it, the trag-
edy of our modern industrial and So
cial system is appalling. The cruel
and unjust conditions really cause
ruin and degradation of life a hun
dredfold more than the things reform
ers are most prone to attack" And
why do the reforners not attack these
ruinous and menacing conditions? Is
it because they do not offer opportuni-
ties for spectacular displays and self
advertisement?

THE FEATURE OF THE BANKERS,
CONVENTION

! There were several notable addresses
delivered at the convention of the
| American Bankers Association in New
Orleans this week, but it is probable
that that of Mr.. Ridgely. the Control
! Ter of the Treasury, received more at
! tention than any other, mainly, pro-
/ baby. because il dealt with a timely
feature Of the currency situation and
was an expression of the views of a
high treasury official.
Mr.. Ridgely pointed out the need of
greater elasticity in the currency, a need
which is admitted, and to supply which
a number of plans have been proposed.
1t is a fact that members of Congress
are VIGOROUSLY timid about legislating
in regard to banking matters. They
are afraid that the people would rot
understand, and that in political cam
paigns a serious effort to cure the evils
of the present banking and currency
system would be used against them.
There has been a prejudice against
national banks, and there is still a
feeling that they are a part of what
is called the money power. 1t is graft
flying to notice. however, that this
prejudice is steadily abating. In the
course of a few years politicians may
feel safe in taking up the currency
question and dealing with it in a SEN
sible and an intelligent way.
In his paper Mr.. Ridgely advocated
asset currency. but only to meet emer-
gencies. He thought it could be so
arranged that such currency could be
issued when there was an imperative
demand for additional money, and
that by placing a heavy tax upon it.
it could be quickly retired when the
need for it had passed.
There is undoubtedly a strong SEN
timent against asset currency. 1t is
based upon the condition which ex-
listed prior to the Civil War. 1t win
be recalled that during the period when
state banks issued notes our currency
was a very unsatisfactory one, main
ly for the reason that there were so
many notes afioat which were not
worth their face value when circulated
outside Of the limits of the states in
which the banks which issued them
were situated. And it was difficult to
keep track of the banks-to know when
they were solvent and when insolvent.
The number of counterfeits was so
great that the people never felt that
the money paid them was good.
If an asset currency should be adopt
ed, however. such restrictions would
be thrown around it that the objection
able features of the ante-bellum cur
rency would be eliminated From pre-
sent Indications, however, it will be
quite awhile yet before there will be
such a reform in the currency as will
meet the demands of the times.
