HATS OF STRAW.

China Gets the Credit For Havins,
First Made Them.
The earliest makers of straw hats
were unquestionably the Chinese.
Their work was by no means rough
In character, but plated and sewn to-
gether with considerable skill, as may
be seen today in the neighborhood of
Canton.
In Europe hats were first made in
Paris by Swiss so early as 14O4, and
we find mentioned among the entries
Of an inventory of the effects of Sir
John Fastolfe, 1859, "four strawen
hattes," showing them to have been
great rarities. Coryatt mentions them
as worn in Provence, with a hundred
seams, lined with silver and curiously
worked.
Tuscany, with Leghorn as center,
took up the work early in the fifteenth
century and has maintained It with
considerable skill ever since. Bedford
shire, with Dunstable and Luton as
ceHters, has been the headquarters OF
the industry in England ever since the
early part of the seventeenth century.

A Story of Matt Carpenter.

Matt Carpenter, the famous Wis
consin senator, was pleading case be
fore the supreme court. Before he had
got half through with his argument the
judges had made up their minds that
his case was without merit, and, more.
over, that he was unprepared. When
he finished his argument and counsel
for the other side got up to reply, the
judges whispered to each other, nodded
and then the chief justice said, "I don't
think it will be necessary to hear from
you, SIR" Carpenters opponent was
deaf, and he could only tell that the
chief Justice was addressing hira: He
turned to Carpenter for aid. 'What
did the chief Justice say, MattY' he
whispered. "He said he'd rather give
you the case than listen to you," Car
penter bawled in his ear.

To the Editor; Dear Sir: I am
proud to witness to the public the
skill of DR.. Darrin as a physician.
Nearly ten years ago I presented
myself to him a miserable diseased
physical wreck, body and mind,
never having thought of seeing a
we'll day again, but hoping to re-
ceive from him some temporary
relief. One year ago I did not dare
take a mouthful of solid food into
my stomach. I lived on soup and
cocoa on account of my intense suf-
feriug-apparently afflicted with
an acute and incurable disease of
the stomach. I took the treatment
Of DR.. DARN three months and
have since been able to sit down to
any kind of food and relish it to
my satisfaction, never fearing any
evil results. My sfflictions were
chronic dyspepsia, constipation, iv-
er and kidney complaints, pains in
the heart and lungs and diseases
pe culiar to my sex. Now life is a
pleasure, l am stranger to pain
of any form. Have not had such
he alth in twenty years. I feel lift
ed into a new world and enjoy all
things on account of feeling we'll
again. Publish this, that others
may be benefited. Refer your
