Bells.

Bells have been employed in assocla-
ton with religious worship since the
early days of Egypt. Cymbals and
hand bells and small rotals served for
the festival Of Isis. Aaron and other
Jewish high priests wore bells of gold
upon their raiment. In camp and gar
rison the Greeks employed bells. The
Romans announced the hour of bathing
by their melody. Copper and tin the
old composition, is still regarded as
the best bell metal Steel has been
tried but does not make a successful
bell. Glass bells are mellow and beau
tiful in tone. but the material is too
fragile. The one metal which is i'm
possible is that which everybody i'm

MAKING SILK HATS.

The nal e. his right forefinger was
so.g yellow, horny. and the finger tip
nad SO th!chened and hardened that it
seemed to he covered with pale leather.
lie was silk hat maker and 1t was
from cur!i.,g hat briins that his finger
natl changed so strangely. Describing
tie processes Of silk hats manufac-
ture, he said:
1.-THE belief that cardboard forms a
silk hats foundation Is an error. The
rat Is first built up Of various thick
acsses of linen-layers of linen, soaked
IN shellac, that by means OF wooden
molds and hot irons weighing twenty
pounds apiece are welded one on the
other till a perfect shape, brlm and all
complete, Is obtained.
"I'he silk Is next put on. This silk
costs from so to $15 a yard. 1t looks
like plush In the piece. The hatmaker
cuts 1t off on the bias and molds it
round the stiff linen foundation. The
strips must be very accurately cut, and
great care IS used In their ironing and
cemeiting, so as to give perfect dag
onal joint. Look ut your silk hats
seam the next time you wear 1t. The
joints perfection will, perhaps. amaze
you.
THE brim, up to this point, IS fiat.
Now Its curling commences. That Is
where my queer forefinger comes in.
The shaping Of IL hat brim Is purely
matter of hand and eye and taste
The brin while being shaped is highly
heated so as 10 give 1t pliability
And of course working on this hot
material, patting and prodding 1t, the
forefinger thickens and the nail gets
horny.
Nevertheless hat curling Is pleasant
artistic work. Hat curriers' have rcpu-
tations the same as artists. Their work
is distinctive. An expert can tell 1t at
a glance. New York Press.

They Have Peculiar Ideas OF PERSON.
nj Beauty and Adornment.
Like the Siamese. the Karen wo-
men are not good to look upon and
do not improve their appearance any
by the style Of ornaments they affect.
When very young their ears are
pierced to admit small round stick.
which Is gradually lacerated in diam
eter until by the time the little girls
have become. women their ears easily
accommodate a two inch disk Of
blackened bamboo. This stretches the
ears hideously, as may be imagined.
and when the ornament is laid aside
temporarily-well, picture the thin
strip Of pendent ear lobel AS rule,
the Karen women wear their hair
long, but, like the Siamese, some cut
It short and others again keep in crop
ped close, except on top of the head,
where it Is allowed to grow to its nat
ural length, which does not add to
their by no means overabundance of
good looks. Sometimes the unmarried
woman wears breast cloth, but for
the most part men and women wear
loin girdle, and sometimes even that
Is set aside in hot weather.
To thoroughly appreciate japanese
women one should begin the far east
ern trip at the Malay peninsula, jour
neying thence through Siam, Anam,
Cambodia and China, though / confess
to preferring good looking Chinese
girl to the alleged Japanese beauty.
Bracelets and necklaces of bamboo
are the other usual ornaments, except
when they can afford a narrow neck
band of silver, which protects, so it is
believed, against many evils that lurk
along life's wayside, even in the jun
gle. The men also wear this neck
band and bamboo an inch in diameter
and about four inches long stuck
through their ear lobes. Some Of the
boys are rather good looking They
wear their hair in n knot like horn
OH the forehead or at Que side or the
other Of the head or on top, and usual
ly turban crowns the topknot All
in all the karcns differ not Il great
deal from the SiameSe in physiognomy,
but the people in this section of the
far east shade into one another rather
easily.-Caspar Whitney in Outing.

to send word that she was Ill. She rang
for the Chinese butler, gave him an or

pictured, until her brain ached and her
ears rang, what her fife with Give

But despair was not In her as yet,
for he was still under the same roof,

looked full upon. Tonight for the first

card, unworthy of her, but reminded
herself that she was a woman who
would, if necessary, walk straight to
her purpose over cracking and spout
ing earth.
At twelve o'clock she sat before her
dressing table regarding herself atten-
lively in mirror. She wore negligee
OF white crepe and lace, which half re-
yealed her neck and bust. Her un-
bound hair chung to her body like melt
