STYLES IN STRAW HATS.
Some Of the Various Designs That
Are to Be Worn the coming
Season.

Besides the panamGs and tho
straws of various braidE and styles
designed for men OF various tastes
and fancies." said manufacturer OF
straw hats. there will be found In
the coming seasons hats among those
designed for young men four prevail
ing styles. a seunett yacht hat and a
split straw yacht hat, both stin hats.
and two flexible hats. one OF soft fine
braid and one OF a mackinaw braid.
The tendency for all these hats is to
low crowns
''rhe yacht hats win have a crown
two and three-quarter inches in height
and they will be made some with
brims OF two and an eighth inches.
and some with brims OF two and half
inches in width.
The soft straw hats will be made
one with its low crown telescoped and
the other with a flush crown Both
will have rather wide brims. some Of
which will be finished unbound. while
others will be bound around the edge.
The yacht or stiff hat we have long
had IN various shapes and In varying
dimensions. The two soft hats OF
this season for young men are made
IN shapes especially designed for
young mems use from braids once
worn almost altogether Ia hats de-
signed for older men.
what we call here a yacht hat Is
called a boater In London. from the
fact that It is the style OF hat there
worn by all OF the thousands OF young
men who go boating on the Thames
more or less. Here We DO less boat
ing and more sailing and yachting.
and so we call ours a yacht hat
From the time OF the death OF
President Mckinley up 60 last year
straw hats In this country were worn
almost exclusively with black bands.
But last year considerable numbers
OF fancy bands appeared. and this
year fancy bands will be worn more
than ever
in London every man who wears
a boater wears a fancy band on H.
There such a hat Is commonly sold
without the band which is selected
by the purchaser You viii find in
the hat stores a great lot Of fancy
hathands OF all sorts Of colors and
combinations OF colors stretched
across a counter. and the purchaser
OF a hat selects from among these A
hatband which will match his sweat
or. or that otherwise suits HIS fancy.
and here. 10 be sure. fancy bands
can be bought separately. but the COM
mon custom Is to trim the hat com.

SELLING A DRIVING HORSE.
The Principal Trick of the Trade Is
to Find the Right
Buyer.

ITO successfully sell driving and
carriage horses requires higher abili-
ties as a salesman and better
knowledge of human nature than any
other branch Of commerce" is a state
ment volunteered by +. w. Allen, Of
Kansas City.
"The value OF a fancy driving or
carriage horse Is purely fictitious A
horse that would not be worth 500
70 one man is worth several times
that amount to another and the real
measure OF value is the anxiety Of one
to purchase or the other to sell. OF
course there are certain types OF
horses that have a fairly stable value.
But am speaking about horses whose
value is in their individuality. Many
people keep SNOWY eQuipages who
know nothing OF horses and have no
love for them. and the prices they pay
depends largely upon how the ami
mails coats shine and the amount and
luster Of the brass trimmings on the
harness in which they are shown. II
would be money thrown away to give
such people a perfect animal OF team
Of them.
And herein comes the discernment
OF the dealer He may have horses
which to these people will appear
perfect. but horseman would note
their flaws. The position. shape and
size OF the horses ears all have
a bearing on its value, as do also the
size and position OF the eyes. A
slight curve of the nose or a coarse
muzzle deduct dollars from its value.
These and a hundred small points all
add TO OF mar the worth OF the animal,
not to speak Of any of the more glar-
ing defects. II is the horseman's
business TO determine before showing
an animal just what kind of a Gus
toner he has 10 deal with.
IF he sells his perfect animals TO
those who would be satisfied with an
inferior article he lessons his own
chance for profit, while II 70 the right
person he shows one Of the poorer ami
mails he forfeits the confidence Of the
buyer. have sold everything pretty
nearly except gold bricks and they
were all easy in comparison with SELL
ing horses. but at that there is a fas.
ciuation about the sale Of a horse that
makes 1t hard for me TO give Il up
after 80 years In the business"

THE FATE OF EMPERoRs.
Austrian Farmer Thought There

An anecdote, hitherto unpublished.
concerning Archduke Francis Charles,

remnerine a steel ship.

In a recent discussion before the
Institution OF Mechanical Engineers
in London a curious fact. illustrating
the value Of the temper test" was
mentioned. This test consists in rails
ing the steel under examination TO a
cherry heat and then plunging II into
water TO observe the degree OF tenn
pering produced. The object is TO Sc
lect for ship-buildlng steel that will
not crack in use. The illustrative
fact referred to was fire in the steam
ship Persian Monarch. in Kew York
harbor. The fire was extinguished
with hose. and the water tempered the
hot plates. Afterward. in mid-ocean.
a number OF the plates cracked, some
OF them very suddenly. One crack
was seven feet in length. Thus the
desirabillty was shown Of keeping out
Of ships steel that is too readily tenn
