NO TWO HATS EVER ALIKE
Made BY Machinery or By Hand
There Is Sure TO Be
Difference.

There are no two things alike 10
This world-no two atoms alike, no
two blades of grass alike, no Two
meas alike. no two faces alike, won
derful-most wonderful of all-no two
ladies' hats alike, Has this thought
ever been impressed upon you whlle
sitting in an assemblage OF women /.
Oh the wisdom and foretnought Oh
nature. for were each woman 10 nave
a hat similar to her neighbours wha'
an infinite variety of additional woes
and heartaches and tears the humaI
race would have had to bear!
And, yet Mathew Softleigh, born
and bred in New York, says the sun
knew naught of this. His tender Dralr
could not conceive the fact that every
thing in this world is infinite in It's
revolutions and ramifications. partic'
ularly ladies hats, so Matthew backed
his poor judgment with real money
and made a wager with his friend
Silas Cute, that he would soon find
him two hats that were alike.
Matthew and Silas selected warm
spring day and they walked up ana
down the great White Way, they
promenaded Fifth avenue, they visit
ed the parks. they strolled to the east
side. the west side and every other
side, they visited the theaters, the
concert halls, the churches; from day
to day the quest continued until both
were weary and footsore. They saw
Gainsboroughs. picture hats, sailors,
hats of straw, hats of felt, hats with
ribbons, hats with feathers, hats with
aigrettes, but no two hats alike. They
saw dreams of red and blue and green.
as well as Nightmares and incubi OF
Arabian Nights phantasy. There was
poetry and prose, music and flowers
typified in every one, but no two
alike! What ingenuity they repre-
sented, what ceaseless brain activity
what thought, what feeling, what deli
cacy in some, which if put into
poem or a symphony would earn him
or her a place in the Hall of Fame!
Matthew lost his bet, and it is well
that he did. There should be no two
hats alike, there are no two hats
alike and there never will be two
hats alike, Nature, like woman, is
feminine; she has a variety of moods
of expression. of beauty, of color, OF
form and figure, and woman's hat Is
the embodiment, the epitome of heI
every thought her every wish, heI
every desire. Not one woman is like
another; neither can her hat be. And
when the time comes that two hats
are found alike then will genius have
reached it's limit and the world will
have lost all it's beauty and all that
makes life worth living.

ENGLISH WOMAN'S JOKE
Package She Called Valuable Sur.
prised Lawyers and Bankers
When Opened.

There is such a thing as carrying a
joke too far. Six years ago an Eng.
fish woman who was travelling in
Toronto trust company parcel care
fully bound and secured with mum
Der of imposing seals. 1t was under
stood that the parcel contained jewels
of great value, and therefore it was
guarded with jealous care, says the
Rochester Post-Express.
A few weeks ago the English wo
man died, and a clause In her will
made mention of the deposit in trust
in Toronto. After due process of law
1t was ordered that the seals be
broken in the Canadian city. Heirs
in the old land and one in far dis
tant point in Canada sent their re
spective lawyers to be present at the
opening of the valuable package. On
the day appointed the lawyers assem-
bled in private office of the trust
company. Here is correspondents
description of the scene that fol
lowed:
Red seals on the outside of the
bundle were first broken, then an ar.
ray of green colored seals were en-
countered. After this wrapping came
fold after fold of paper. Then the
lawyers saw an oblong pasteboard
box, also carefully sealed. The ex'
element was almost intense. Beads
of perspiration stood out on the
learned brows of the privileged few
present. With the unfolding of each
successive wrapping around the box
they expected to see the glitter OF
gold and the luster of diamonds. Al
last, with nervous fingers, 1t was
opened: the treasure seemed near at
hand. Two more folds of paper were
undone, and several pairs of regal
eyes saw an innocent and faded pair
of corsets."
Nothing is known of the motive for
leaving the faded pair of corsets in a
trust deposit vault. We may assume
that the English woman was eccentric
and wished TO play prank on her rel
atives. If so the joke was a success
although she may not be able to ap
preciate it. There is material for a
novel in this incident. Wilkie Collins
or Charles Reade would have based
an exciting three decker" on ii, and
had Conan Doyle foolishly decided not
to write more Sherlock Holmes stories
he could expand the episode into a
most battling detective problem.

WORTH INVESTIGATING.

The use of hand cream sep
arators is very rapidly grow
ing among farmers who milk
cows for profit. Dairy men
prefer to purchase the cream
and be relieved Of the work OF
separating, and it is much more
profitable for the farmer to do
his own separating, for he
saves the skim milk on which
he can raise his calves, in addl-
ton to which he saves the haul
ing of his milk, which alone
amounts in many cases to the
monthly payments required to
buy a cream separator. The
best time to separate the cream
from the milk is while it is
fresh and warm. The cream
separates easier and a greater
percentage is obtained, and the
skim milk is left sweet and
fresh to be fed to the calves.
The U. S. Cream Separator,
sold by the Consolidated Wag-
on g. Machine Company, has
geatest capacity, skins the
cleanest, works the easiest, and
lasts the longest. Agents

DISEASE DEFINED BY DOOR
Sense of Smell Relied Upon by Elk
perts to Determine Nature
of Ailments.

The acuteness OF the sense of smell
Is far greater In many Of the lower an.
!mals, dogs. for example, than in man.
and they employ 1t in guiding them
% their food, In warning them of ap
preaching danger and for other pur
poses, says the Spatula. The sphere
Of the susceptibility to various odors
Is more Uniform and extended in man
and the sense of smell is capable OF
great cultivation. Like the other spe.
cial senhes 1t may be cultivated by
attention and practice Experts car
discriT, mate qualities Of wines, liquors
drugs, etc. Diseases have their char
acteristic odors.
Persons who have visited many diff
terent asylums for the insane recog
nize the same familiar odor of the in
sane. 1t is not insane asylums alone
but prisons, jails, warehouses, armies
IL camp, churches, schools and nearly
every household, that have character
lctic odors. 1t is when the insane, the
prisoners and the soldier are aggre
gated In large groups or battalions
that their characteristic odor Is recog
nized. Most diseases have their char
acteristic odors and by the exercise OF
the sense Of smell they could be utilized
In different diagnosis.
For example, fever has a mousy odor
rheumatism has a copious sour-smell
Ing acid sweat. A person afflicted
with pyaemia has q sweet nauseatine
breath. The rank, unbearable odor
of pus from the middle ear tells the
tale OF the decay OF osseous tissue. In
scurvy the odor is putrid, in chronic
peritonitis musky, in scrofula like
stale beer, in intermittent fever like
fresh baked brown bread, in fever am
moniacal, in hysteria like violets OF
pineapple, Measles, diphtheria, typhoid
fever. epilepsy. phthisis, ETC.. have
characteristic doors.

HAILSTORM HAVOC
GREAT DAMAGE DONE TO
WHEAT CROPS OF KANSAS.
Insurance Against Loss from Storms
of This Kind Is Now Taken
Out by Many of the
Farmers.

"Hallstorms have destroyed more
wheat in Kansas in the last ten years
than all the grasshoppers and oh nch-
SAID a farmer from southern Kansas,
whose crop was destroyed by a recent
storm In that section.
Last year one hailstorm in the
northern part of Sumner county and
the southern part of Sedgwick swept
an area 80 miles long by two miles
wide. About $4,000 acres, most of 1t in
growing wheat that promised to yield
rs bushels to the acre, were destroyed.
half million dollars worth of wheat
was ruined in that one storm"
The hailstorm was never feared by
the Kansas farmer until wheat be-
came staple crop. Corn will recover
from haistorm and make an average
crop, but light fall of ice at certain
time will ruin a crop of wheat. May
and June are the months of hailstorms
in Kansas.
In France and Spain where the hail
storms destroy the grape crop large
cannon have been placed on the hills
above the vineyards. At the approach
of hailstorm explosives are shot into
the cloud, and it's belief among
farmers-laughed at by scientific men
that the storm is sometimes dissi-
pated. The Kansas farmer doesn't
lombard the clouds. He has found
that 1t pays better to insure his crops.
Hail insurance cOmnanips have bepn
organized. The farmer insures his
wheat crop against hail just as the
man In the city nsures his house
against fire. He places whatever value
on his crop he can afford to pay the
premium on. Some farmers occasional
ly Insure so heavily that they would
not object to hailstorm to save the
expense of harvesting the crop.
The first hail insurance companies
were mutual companies, organized
among the farmers of a county or n
district. 1t was soon found that those
companies were not safe because a
hailstorm usually cleared a whole dis.
trict Then each farmer was com.
PEELED to bear his own loss. for the
mutual company could not pay. East
ern capitalists have formed number
of hail insurance companies in the last
five years.
Farmers have belief that hail win

secutive years. So II a hailstorm de.
stroys a crop they insure heavily for

ants stand preeminent, and II the hui

this respect half the diseases on

Ants. he declares, abhor dirt in any
form about their bodies. Nature has
provided them with implements that
serve the same purpose as combs and
folk, and they make far more effective
use of them. They are never too busy
to clean themselves. No job is so i'm
