THREE ENGINES WRECKED.


A head-on collision, with disastrous
results, occurred on the Hannibal ont
mile west of Utica at Z o'clock Sunday
morning. Engines 624 and 66S as
double. header were pulling an extra
west and collided with engine $685.
pulling No. 66 east. The trains met
on curve and engineers and firemen
jumped, escaping with only slight
bruises, but the three locomotives were
totally wrecked, being reduced to piles
of scrap iron. The east-bound train
was in charge Of Conductor AL Kern
and Engineer M. A. Lawrence, and
the west train in charge of Conductor
Ed Withers and Engineer Melvin.
The track was obstructed for over
half day, the wrecking crew arriv-
ing from Brookfield at 10 o'clock.
Only three cars were smashed, one be.
ing loaded with beer, which flowed
freely for while. A steel tlatcar
proved its superiority over wood by
standing the blow ofthe collision with
slight damage, thus saving several
boxcars.
Responsibility for the accident is
not placed. The west-bound train
had orders to meet the east-bound
train at Mooresville, five miles west of
Utica, but the east-bound train had
no orders against it. Four tramps in
a car of wheat were badly shaken up,
but not hurt.

Origin of sHoosierv

An Indiana man who was being
taunted about the name of his state,
"Hoosier," gave this explanation of it:
when the young men on the In
diana side of the Ohio river went to
Louisville, the Kentucky men boasted
over them, calling them new purchase
greenies,' and claiming themselves to
be superior race, half horse, half alli-
gator and tipped off with swapping
turtle. These taunts produced fights
in the market house and streets of
Louisville. On one occasion q stout
bully from Indiana was victor In a
fist fight, and, having heard Colonel
Lehmanowsky lecture ON The Wars of
Europe who always gave martial
prowess to the German hussars in a
fight with the Russian Cossacks, pro-
nouncing hussars 'hOosiers, the In
dianian, when the Kentuckian cried
Enough! jumped up and said: 81 am
q hOOSier.' And hence the Indianians
were called by that name. This was
its true origin. I was in the state
when it occurred. Chicago Chronicle.

We owe the Hat to Asia.

We owe the hat to Asia, for it was In
that country that the art of felting
wool was first known, and from the
most remote periods the art was car
ried on by the orientals In India,
China, Burma and Siam hats are
made of straw, of rattan, of bamboo,
Of pith, of the leaf of the Tallport
palm and of large variety of grasses.
The japanese made their hats of pa
per. The modern hat can be traced
back to the petasurs worn by the an
cient Romans when on a journey, and
hats with brims were also used by the
earlier Greeks.
1t was not until after the Roman
conquest that the use of hats began in
England. A "hatte of biever," about
the middle of the twelfth century, was
worn by one of the mobiles of the land.
Fraissort describes hats and plumes
which were worn at Edwards court
in 1910, when the Garter order was in
stituted. The merchant in Chaucer's
Canterbury Tales had "on his head
a Flaunderish beaver hat" and from
that period onward there is frequent
mention of "felt hates"

Vitality of the Centiped.

The sight of full grown centiped is
said by travellers in tropical lands to be
enough to affect the strongest nerves.
Ten to eleven inches is the average
length. although larger ones have been
seen. Lafcadio Hearn In 1.-TWO Years
In the French West Indies" says that
the vitality of the centiped is amazing
Mr.. Hearn kept one in bottle, with
out food or water, for thirteen weeks,
at the end of which time it remained
active and dangerous as ever. The
centiped has one natural enemy able to
cope with him-the hen.
The hen attacks him with delight and
often swallows him, head first, without
taking the trouble to kill him. The cat
hunts him, but she is careful never to
put her head near him. She has a trick
of whirlinE him round and round upon
the floor Sd quickly as to stupefy him;
then. when she sees good chance, she
strikes him dead with her claws.
There are superstitions concerning
the creature which have a good effect
in diminishing his tribe. II you kill
centiped, you are sure to receive money
soon, and even if you dream of killing
one it is gSpd luck.

An Old Legend That Tells of the
Origin of the Art,

An Old Legend That Tells of the
Origin OF the Art.
Lacemaking is by no means so old an
industry as most persons suppose
There is no proof that it existed previ
GUS to the fifteenth century, and the
oldest known painting in which it ap
pears is portrait of lady in the
academy at Venice painted by Cas-
paccio, who died about 1923. The leg
end concerning the origin of the art is
as follows:
A young fisherman of the Adriatic
was betrothed to young and beauti-
full girl of one of the isles of the Ia
goon. Industrious as she was beauti-
full. the girl made new net for her
lover, who took it with him on board
his boat. The first time he cast it into
the sea he dragged therefrom an exqui-
site petrified wrack grass, which he
fastened to present to his flancee. But,
war breaking out, the fisherman was
pressed into the service of the Venetian
navy. The poor girl wept at the depar-
ture Of her lover and contemplated his
last gift to her. But while absorbed in
following the intricate tracery of the
wrack grass she began to twist and
plait the threads weighted with small
beads which hung around her net. Lit
tie by little she wrought an imitation
Of the petrification, and thus was Gre
ated the bobbin lace.
