as follows:

DlAz AS A MAN OF DESTINY.
Relation Between His Life and Date
of Mexican Independence.

Relation Between His Life and Date
of Mexican Independence.
IF ever a man was a living proof
that our fates are predestined,' said
a mining man from Mexico, sit is
President Diaz.
He was born at II O'Clock at night
on September 10. That is the ami
versary moment of Mexican independ-
ence, although September 16 is cele-
brated as the national holiday.
THE revolutionary conspirators had
agreed on September 16 for the out
break and were to open the ball at
the ringing of bell on the plaza OF
Guanajuato. But Hidalgo, the Next
can Washington, learned that their
plans were known, so he rang the bell
and started things going at II o'clock
on September 10.
THAT was in 1910. Diaz was born
September Is, 1880.
That is a matter of common
knowledge and superstition in Mexico.
What is not generally known is that
every one of his many children, legiti-
mate and illegitimate, was born either
on September 10 or on the anniversary
of some of his big military or political
victories. have it from a member
of the Diaz household that there is not
a single exception to this rule.
Every year on September Is the
people gather on the plaza In the City
of Mexico. Diaz comes out on a bal
cony above them sharply at II and
rings the old Mexican independence
bell, which has been brought up to
the capital. That is the signal for be-
ginning the independence celebration
'Diaz, you know, considers himself
a man Of destiny. His life has been
one long fight against enemies, in
trigues, secret plots, open rebellion.
He has beaten them all and estab-
lished a good government where there
had been only tyranny or chaos for 800
years. They say that he has grown
superstitious about it all, believing
that he is under lucky star, and that
he takes these condolences of birth
as mark of heavenly favor"

CHIC WOODEN MILLINERY.

Their Wearers, Made of Shavings.

Many Handsome Hats, Unknown to
Their Wearers, Made of Shavings.
It is not generally known that many
Of the handsomest summer hats worn
by the ladies Of this country are lit
orally made from wood 'shavings."
The finest examples Of this industry
are produced in Japan, these wooden
ribbons appearing in many forms,
some Of which have almost the deli
cacy and sheen of satin, while others
resemble soft and dainty crepes. Only
about Is per cent Of the ship is eX-
ported in the form Of wood ribbons,
the remainder being worked into what
is commercially known as chip braid,
and which is employed in the same
manner as straw braid, that is, for
hats, basketry and other fancy articles.
The exports in a single year from
Japan have amounted to over $3.50, 900,
the United States being a large buy
er. The trade is steadily increasing,
with a constantly growing demand, as
the industry is comparatively new.
While willow is considerably used in
Germany, the Japanese manufacturers
employ European poplar, spruce, Chi
oese cypress, cherry, buckeye, paulo-
MIA, false hickory and some other
kinds of wood. The chip is produced
by planning with special tools, the shay
lngs being about fifteen inches long
and one and a half In width. The lead
Ing forms are known as crepe, thin
crepe, stripped crepe, scaly crepe, net
work crepe, relief figures, pushed, I'M
dulated, etc. The product takes dyes
readily, and is so thin and flexible that
daintiest effects in millinery goods can
be Secured.-Scientific American.

the livery business at Rockport and
to augment his income became also a
sewing machine agent.
While selling sewing machines and
making other odd trades the opportuni.

and he entered the Office of John l.
Taylor, a prominent Democratic law

became. Here one day he was waited
upon by Republican politician and
asked to accept the nomination for dis

to be any chance for his election, the
district being strongly Democratic. Mr..
Hemenway made an active canvass of
the distrisct and to the surprise of
everyone was elected In those days a
man could be chosen prosecutor before
being admitted to the bar, and 1t was
Hemenway's fortune to be one of those
men. When the first case came up
there were several good lawyers op-
posed to him and the presiding judge
suggested that Hemenway secure as
sistance. He declined, wishing to re-
flute one Of the arguments made
against him during his canvass-that
he was not competent to fill the place
He won his case and thereby greatly
enhanced his reputation.
In 1894 he entered Congress, tc
which he has been elected ever since.
He at once took a prominent place in
House affairs, becoming the head of
the most important committee in the
governmental National Committee

James A. Hemenway, of Indiana, Is
Now United States Senator.
Few men in the public life of the
nation rose to prominence and success
under such discouraging conditions as
Representative James A. Hemenway,

His early life was a continual struggle
against poverty and the limitations 1t
imposed, but he rose superior to every
difficulty, winning success by persist

Mr.. Hemenway, whose ancestry
dates back to colonial days, was born
on his fathers farm near Boonv1lle,
Ind, in 1860. He attended school at
Boonville, making slow progress, how
ever, owing to the fact that his studies
were interrupted by the necessity of
attending to duties at home. His faith

Boy Weavers of Persia.

Boys from s to II years old do a
great part Of the carpet and rug weav.
ing in Persia. They are very deft.
Having been shown the design and col,
oring of the carpet they are to work
the boys rely on their memories for
the rest Of the task. It is very seldom
that you will see on any Of the looms
pattern set before the workers. The
foreman Of loom is frequently a boy
Of from u to II. He walks I'D and
down behind the workers calling out
in sing-song manner the number of
stitches and the colors of the threads
to be used. He seems to have the de-
sign imprinted in his mind. A COPY
of famous carpet now at the South
Kensington Museum is being made.
The design and coloring are unioue.
but the boys who are working on the
copy are doing it without the design
before them and at the rate of from 90
to 80 stitches minute. Nothing but
hand work is employed in the mann
facture of Persian carpets and rugs.
and none but natural or vegetable dves
are used. This accounts for the s,,.

dyes used in the older DAYS has haon

reveal the presence of iron in the very

wealthy and during the time Jim"
was going to school he was forced to
help his father, who was postmaster
of the village. During this period the
future Senator acted as newsboy of
the town. At that time there were
very few newspapers published, but
his trade demanded some Sunday read
ing. Through the week train brought
his papers to town, but on Sunday he
was forced to ride on horseback to
Evansville, a distance Of eighteen
miles, and bring the Sunday papers
to Boonville to supply his trade. He
also shined shoes for people, earning
extra money. During this time "Jim's"
routine was to arise at 4 O'Clock, do
I'D the chores about home, and sweep
and open the postoffice before other
business houses opened their doors
Occasionally he sold few stamps
and handed out the mails to the coun-
try folk of Warrick County.
After the death of his father to
whom "Jim" was very closely attach
ed, he decided to go West. He landed
at Mason City, Iowa, from where he
went to Ottumwa, Iowa, and became
"cow puncher." Returning to Indi-
ana, his mother mortgaged her proper
ty. and gave Jim" $3.50, upon which
he and his brother VIII returned to
the West, this time going to Kansas.
They located at Harper. and each filed
a claim for 100 acres of land. "Jim's"
land was taken away from him, as he
was under age. On Wills land corn

In those days Harper County was

frontier. The crop Of the Hemenway
bows had been blasted, and they hitch

meal at Wichita transported it to Har

Soon, however, their occupation was
changed again, and that was to gather

them to Wichita, a distance of fifty
miles. Wichita was at that time the

A boy went up to the desk in a pub
lie library not long ago with the re-
quest, II want a story in rhine called
'Sohrab and Rustum.' Can you tell
me where I'll find it?' After the boy
had secured the book the librarian re-
marked, There is compliment to
Matthew Arnold. That boys desire
for the book is proof more positive
than all the criticisms, that 'Sohrab
and Rustum' has life in 1t, has blood
and tears in It." This same librarian
said, also. that the children of the poor
read the classics much more eagerly
than the children Of the well-to-do. It
IS from the children who are devour-
ing the classics with the eagerness of
hungry souls that the producers Of the

The practice of educating boys for
the professions, which are already

ness, in which ninety-five in a hundred
fail of success, is fearfully on the in
crease in this country. Americans are
annually becoming more and more
averse to manual labor, and to get
living by ones wits, even at the cost
of independence and self-respect, and
a fearful wear and tear of conscience
is the ambition of portion of our
young men. The result is the mechan-
ical professions are becoming a mo-
nopoly for foreigners, and the owner
ship of some of the finest farms, even
in New England, is passing from
Americans to Irishmen and Germans.

ashamed to put his children to the plow
or to mechanical trade; but now they
are too feeble" for bodily labor; one
has a pain in his side, another slight
cough, another "a very delicate Consti-
tution;' another is nervous; and so
poor Bobby or Billy or Tommy is sent
off to the city to measure tape, weigh
coffee or draw molasses. 1t seems new

moderate manual labor in the pure and
bracing air of the country is just what
these puny, wasp-waisted lads need,
and that to send them to the crowded,
unhappy city is to send them to their
graves Let them follow the pillow,
swing the sledge, or shove the fore
plane, and their pinched chests will be
expanded, their sunken cheeks plump
ed out, and their lungs now "cabined,
cribbed and confined" will have room
to play. Their nerves will be invig-
Grated with their muscles; and when
they shall have cast off their jackets,
instead of being thin, pale, vapid cox
combs, they shall have spread out to
the size and configuration of men. A
