benefit to the steel bridge concerns.
Hundreds OF wooden bridges were
washed away but in almost every in-
stance the steel structures stood the
test. Water flowed three feet over
the Yellow river bridge in the town of

as good as ever. All of the wooden
bridges in that town were carried of

"a statement has been made that

dairyman has taken exceptions. Mr.
Hoard estimates that two pounds Of
beef can be made from feed that will
produce one pound OF butter. In this
he means live weight, of course, and
1t is altogether probable that the man
who wrote the item meant dressed
beef. which would not be far wrong
after all. The steers can take cheaper
feed, but again they will need more of
it to make two pounds Of beef than

"Nearly every week 1 read in farm
papers which come to my table,
articles about keeping the boy on the
farm. This seems to be favorite
topic for farm writer's and some of
them know about as much regarding
the subject as mule does Eonnet.
No better place can be found for a
good boy than on good farm. It
does not always follow that because a
boy has been raised in a rural en-
viOrnment that he is better adapted
to become good farmer than to
achieve distinction in other vacations.
1t is difficult to make boy follow a
vocation for which he has no liking.
III any parent desires his son to
remain On the farm he will have to
make it such as to be attractive to
him."

Just why some people will persist in
trespassing upon private property
simply because they can shorten the
distance of travel is more than we
can understand when they know the
property owner objects to it. Since

new curling and grading and seeding

they used to. Unless it Is stopped he
will be obliged to fence it up. He is

 CTORs use up the old silk hats"
 A said the natter. "Actorsr asked the listener. Actors" said the natter. pausng in the act of lift ing a chunk of iron out of the stove and dropping it in the hollow fatiron he car ried-"actors-I mean variety actors, of course. They need them in their busi- ness. Haven't you ever wondered where all the old silk hats come from when you've seen the comedians kicking each others tiles all over the stage, up the street here? Well, such places as mine supply them.
 Tt takes a good many years to wear out silk hat. With proper care they'll last to be hundred years old. Of course before that time the silk will turn red on top, where 1t is exposed to the sun, but that redness can be overcome for a time. You can make over a silk hat so long as the frame holds together l had one here awhile ago that I could see had been done over several times berore. But when opened it I found written underneath the lining: "Thls Is the sixth time this hat has been made over I wrote under heath that This is the seventh, and signed 1t.
 I've got one here now that is at least forty years old. It was made by some firm with a store on Westminster street so long ago that l never heard the name before, and I've been around here some years, too. It is a beaver hat of the fash ion before silk hats came in. This hat was made on felt body the silk hat of today is made on a gossamer body, shel- lacked. It is a lighter hat, but I do not know that 1t will wear so long.
 There are twenty-nine pieces in silk hat. They are the brim, which is in four pieces; the silk lining, in two; the founda- ton, in two: the gossamer tips between there are two of these also-the two cov- erngs for the side crown, the two for the tips, the three pieces of plush, the three rubbers, the underbrim, one plece the two pieces of the band and the binding the leather, one piece; the bow braid one piece; the label, one piece; the eyelets two of them; the sticker, or piece of court plaster joining the sweatband together in the back.
 Cotton cloth Is the foundation of the silk hat. It is stiffened with shellac cut with ammonia and hot water. The cloth is cut up in strips, cut on the bias, and then stretched on the block In four thicknesses one thickness being stretched and per mltted to dry before another is put on. The lining is put in first. the cloth being stretched over that, and then, after 1t has been permitted to dry 1t is ironed on the block, powdered gum demar being dusted on to prevent the iron from sticking to the cloth soaked in shellac.
 The block Is in five pieces-the counter, the two sides and the two ends, which are removed in this order when the cloth body has dried in shape. The leading makers get out their hats on the block they adopt for the style of the season. and block makers then initiate this block un-

 The genius is spirit in its last incar- nation. He has bounden duties to the cause of perennial and infinite beauty and these delicate exacting obligations are not less necessary though less tangible than the service of the stone in the build ing and the coral insect in the reef. They are more analogous to the higher. frailor, more indefinite. but more inspiriting utili- ties of the flowers of the wood and the ephemera of the air. And consider what responsibility is his in the conveying to us of priceless treasure from the tenuous resources of his imagination.

OLD SILK HATS USED UP

til any natter may buy from a New York Or Boston block maker the seasons latest
 block at reasonable price.
 The block Is then removed from the shellac cloth shell and a doffer is lf- serted to stretch the hat to the required size, the block being trifie small Ihls dofrer Is simply a felt shape, which nus closely to the block, and thus puts
 thickness of felt between the hat and the block. The hat Is ironed as soon as the doffer Is inserted, this melting the shellac ] and permitting the cloth shell to adapt itself to the changed conditions. Alter
 the ironing 1t Is covered with a coat of shellac varnish, for which the natter now has to pay s5 a quart. When it is dry again the silk plush is put on with hot iron, steamed on, in fact.
 This plush comes in rolls, like any other and Is sold by the yard. It is cut in strips seven inches wide for the crown and two and one-half inches for the brim. The top piece having been cut out, 1t Is sewed to the crown piece, and is then put on the cloth shell. Once on, the plush | nap is turned back at the joint cut off and stuck on, and then brushed back [ which makes joining so neat that it Is almost impossible to detect.
 The hat is put on a potance block and potanced, which means simply that 1t is hung on round block of cloth-covered wood which rests on an elbow iron at the hatter's bench, and is finished over again, after having already been finished with hot iron and plenty of elbow grease The edge of the brim is curled, the hat is trimmed. bound. the leather sweatband Is inserted. and then 1t Is ironed again until 1t shines like glass After that 1t is ready to wear.
 It may be made over whenever the change in the modes is great enough to make this seem desirable, and when 1t gets too dirty it may be washed by the natter, and thus thoroughly cleansed. When he makes it over he strips the plush from the frame and starts at the beginning again, just as for a hat with this exception. that he has the ground work. and has simply to shape 1t again. If any piece of the silk looks worn he will replace 1t so deft1y that one may not be detected from the other, and thus the silk hat may be said never to wear ont
