In the death of Mrs. Mary Ayshford
Thursday night, January Is, from the
results of stroke of paralysis Grand
}apidS has lost one of her best
mothers. A kind Christian woman
who was devoted to her husband, son
md friends with that love and affec-
lion that only belongs to the true
& 'hriStian mother. She had nur>ed
md cared for her son, George, who has
been an helpless invalid for years with
hat faithful and tender consideration
until almost the last hours Of her
life. We all know what a care he has
been, and how unc0mplainly she has
waited upon him night and day for
years. Such devotion and conSidera-
tiOn is greatly to be admired and
commended. Those who knew Mrs
Ay>hfOrd intimately realize fully what
she had 70 contend with through life
and never complaint or desire to
>hirk her duties. A beautiful Christ
ian life was ended in her death. She
is now enjoying peaceful rest-an
inheritance promised Of God to all
those who love and obey Him.
Mrs. Mary (HOSkins) Ayshford came
to this country from England with
her husband in 1S49. and first located
in Galena, Illinois. From that place
they removed to Berlin. Wisconsin,

NEW ZEALAND M. P.'S.
Maori MenfberN of the Present Are
VestIy Improved Over Their
Predecessors.

The name of one of the four Maori
M. P.'s just elected in New Zealand
revives historical "reminiscences. He is
one Hone Heke. Nearly 60 years ago
there was n great fighting Maori chief
by that name, a fanatical opponent Of
the British colonization of New Xea-
land. On one occasion he literally
drove the British into the sea, captur-
ing n fortified settlement and compel
ling military and civilians alike to take
refuge on ships in the harbor. The
British soldiers roughly Anglicized his
name into Johnny Hickey" and hence
arose legend that he was really an
Irishman in the guise of a Maori.
The Maori NJ. P's are now n superior
and well-educated class, says the Lon
don Chronicle. Their predecessors of
the COS and 70s were decidedly uncon-
ventional and primitive in their tastes
and habits. 1t was nothing unusual to
see one of them stroll into the house
with section Of shark protruding
from his pocket, and judging from the
exodus of white members in his vicinity
the shark had not recently been
caught. AS they know only their own
language, each sentence of their
speeches had to be translated by an
official interpreter, and this was a
dreary business.

HOWARROWHEADS WERE MADE
Indians Broke Flint Rock Into Small
Pieces by Heating and Drop
ping Water.

We did not know until to-day h ow the
Indians made the flint arrowheads that
are very often found all over the coun-
try. They had no tools to work with,
and the question of how they made
them was not answered. abe" Math-
eney, who was for many years heap
big chief of the Wahoo tribe, says the
squaws broke flint rock into small
pieces by putting it into the fire.
They then selected a suitable piece
for an arrowhead, held it in the fire
till it got hot, then put a drop of wa
ter on it, which "chipped OFF, a small
particle Of the flint, and by this slow
and tedious process the squaws shaped
the arrowheads, says the Eldorado Re-
publican. A look az an arrowhead will
convince one that this was the process
adopted to make them, all they all have
rouuh surfaces.

THE FACE AND THE COLLAR.
A stout Man May Make Himself Look
Thin by Adopting the Proper
Neckwear.

Men who do not want to look any fat
ter in the face than they can help have
an easy means of accomplishing their
purpose. Not all Of them are aware
OF the effect that may be created by
Abe form of collar or cravat, says the
New York Sun.
"The stout man who wants to look
as thin as he can" said the haberdash-
er's clerk, fought to wear a tie of the
kind known as the four-in-hand. Pref
erably it should be dark in color and
drawn tight. That carries down the
line of the face and lengthens it to a
degree that tends 10 make the face look
thinner.
Another aid to making a man look
thin is in the height of his collar. Stout
men who want to look thin should wear
high collars and closed ones. Any col
Lar that opens in front makes one look
stouter under nearly every circum-
stance. Such collars are becoming to
the thin men.
"The fat man should avoid the kind
of tie that has horizontal effect. This
will add pounds to his appearance-in
his face at least.
"On the contrary, this cross effect
will make the thin man look stout.

Paris has always been seat Of all

"Ordcr Of Druidcsses," founded by a
number of ladies, who seem to pur-
pose the revival of the old Celtic mys-

BILE extent. The movement originated
with two Parisiannes who, when they
are not wearing the long, flowing
white robes OF their order, dress In

forest of Fontainebleau, there to

each month Druids, and especially
Druidesses, march by moonlight.
when there is moonlight through the
forest, singing hymns to nature and
addressing poetic invocations to the
moon, the rocks. the streams and the
trees. On the last night Of Deem

to pluck the mistletoc, or, rather, to
bring it down with golden bill-hooks.

An element which enters significant
ly into the construction of the hat is
the natural shape of the husks, which
taper In width from base to tip. When
split the parts maintain this config-
uration, as they parallel the fiber.
This tapering Of all the parts has
been an important feature in the man
ufacture Of the hat. The brim and top
OF the hat are formed by series OF
layers Of corn husks. To impart a
novel appearance, the outer end OF
some OF these layers are pointed. Con-
siderable ingenuity has been displayed
in the entire construction of the hat
even the band is made of corn husks-
and il is asserted that the result is
graceful and attractive, and that,
though 1t may be constructed econom-
ically TO be sold at popular prices,
more expensive brands. requiring ex-
ceptional skill in the manufacture, will
be turned out to meet the demand for
hats at fancy prices.

HATS OF CORNHUSKS.
style of Headecar That VIII Rival
the Costly Panama the Conn
ing summer.

Corn husks during the present sea-
son have been bought up for the pur-
pose of utilizing them in the manufac-
ture Of n new style OF hat which may
become both fashionable and popular
next summer, says the Philadelphia
Saturday Evening Post.
The material is cheap. In fact, II is
usually wasted. Properly cured corn
husks are tough and may be folded
without cracking. Dampened, they
may be made to assume any desired
shape.
The process of working corn husks
into hats is novel, somewhat intricate,
and is protected by patent. 1t is said
that samples already turned out are
artistic as well ms light and strong.
