STOLE
GIRLS
HATS

The Albany Herald relates the fol
lowing:
A funny incident at the depot yester'
day afternoon created considerable
merriment while number of people
were awaiting the arrival of the after
noon train, which had been delayed.
1t seemed that a couple of young ladies
visiting here from Salem, had played
some pranks on a young man residing
here, and, to get even, it was stated
he had taken the young ladies' hats
and locked them up in the trunk, and,
being unable to get at them, sent a
drayman after the trunk, had it hauled
to the depot and checked it to Salem.
The owner got wind of the affair, went
to the depot and demanded the trunk
from the baggageman, and finally So
cured it when he had been given the
check by the girl The trunk was
again loaded in an express wagon and
returned to the young mans rooms.
Meanwhile the girls left for home
without their hats. There was some
i'll feeling as as result of the episode,
and, it is said, the end is not yet, as
the girls are out their winter hats,
which they declare were in the trunk.
The crowd at the depot enjoyed the dis
eussiOn of the matter very much.

The president made short talk to the

An Odd VIII

There is, unfortunately, no proTts
ion in the law as TO the exact nature
OF the parchment" on which will
should be written. 1t hass.frequently
happened that property worth large
sums Of money has been distributed
in accordance with the wish Of the
former owner as result of directions
left in the most accidental manner.
Wills that have proven valid have been
found carved on the trunks Of trees,
scratched upon stones, written on the
soles Of shoes.
One of the most remarkable Of these,
freak wills was that scrawled on the
coor Of a miners shanty in British
Columbia. The accompanying Illus
trat:on gives the entire will, which,
with the signature, comprise only four
teen words. Tim Merrick, who willed
his estate in this highly original man
ner. was a miner living near the town
of Golden. Since his coming to the
district, in 1868, he had worked stead
lily, and, it was supposed, with great
success.
One day. in 1886. he was found by
one Of the mounted police lying dead

The, capture Of these birds is effected
with great care and toll, Long poles,
smeared with some adhesive substance
and well baited, are placed in the vi

engage itself, is caught. The two so
much desired feathers are plucked.
and the bird is then set at liberty. At
one time three Of these feathers were
worth seven and q half francs. and it
Is upon this basis that:the value Of this
particular cloak has been estimated.
Until recent. years cloaks Of this kind
were counted among the most precious
of the royal treasures Of the kings of
the Sandwich Islands. but since Euro

now rarely or never seen.

Monday Suicide.

It is stated that there are more sui
sides Monday than any other day. but
no attempt is made to give reason
for this fact. Somebody points out that
Monday is usually wash day, and it
should be added that boiled dinner
usually goes with it. The clothes line
may, perhaps. suggest the fatal rope.

many. From every point Of view the
bluebird is most desirable. He has no
faults; he does not even take toll Of
our fruit. But he needs protection.
Nearly every nest is robbed. Not one
egg in four matches and produces a
mature bluebird.
The way to protect bluebirds is to
provide a nesting place that is safe
from cats, mice and squirrels. The
red squirrel Is the worst offender. In
May and June he scours every tree in
the woods, and even comes around the
houses. The bluebirds are hard pressed
to find any kind of nesting place at
all, and when they do the chances are
against them. The bird-house shown
here is perfectly safe, and within two
hours after I made it the bluebirds
were making their nest in it.
It is very simple matter. Get
hollow limb or make a box Of weather
beaten boards, close both ends, rain
tight, and make two-inch opening
near the top. The cavity inside should
be about three inches across and four
or five inches deep. Nail or wire the
box to a post set securely in the open
where no squirrel or cat can jump
down on it from above. Then stop
everything from coming up the post
Eby a sheet of tin or an old pan that
encircles the post. This result is best
accomplished by cutting an tx" in the
tin and showing the post through: then
nail down the flaps Of the TX" to the
post.

Horse Hair for Bows.

T.. "There is a vast amount, OF horse
hair annually used in the United
States for making and repairing vio-
lin, violincello and bass viol bows,
said a dealer in such materials to the
writer recently. AL Of the hair
comes from Germany and Russia, in
which countries the tails Of horses
are generally allowed to grow longer
than here. The foreign hair is also
coarser in texture, and tougher than
that which grows on the American
horse, and these qualities make the
imported article more valuable than
the domestic product IS for the pur-
pose.
There are only two kinds OF horse
hair suitable for making bows, and
they are of the white and black varie.
ties. The former is used for violin
bows, and the latter, which Is heavier.
and stronge,. Is tie best material for
making bows for cello and bass viols,
because it bites the larger strings
better. The imported hair is put up
In hanks thitty-six inches long. which
is fve or six inches longer than the
standard violin bow. A hank is sufi.
cient for one violin bow, while two
hanks are required to hair cello or,
bass viol bow. There are about one
and one-half ounces Of hair in a hank.
which is worth from twenty to thirty
cents, according to the quality Of the
hair" .>!.z::,.
