Abouf the Hat.

There is a set of rules about hats
and their wearers that should be rig
idly followed.
If woman has thin face and is
inclined to be sharp featured let her
beware of hats that go up off her face.
This kind of hat only tends TO out
line her defects and she should choose
n hat that is brought we'll forward.
Her hair, too, should be loosely ar
ranged and never drawn back in a
plain fashion. Sharp or smart hats
should be almost avoided and fancy
edges adopted.
If one has features that look good at
a casual glance but will not bear in
spectiOn hat crushed in and pulled
out with many corners and angles will
be her most becoming design.
This tends to mystify and one finds
herself unwilling to investigate-the
effect is too good to unbalance.
A small face should deal warily with
the picture hat. 1t is very liable to have
its saving graces drowned in the depths
of the enormity and should never be
attempted by any one who has not the
height sufficient to carry.
A well-formed face can show of
most any model and it is with this
sort of face in view that most designs
are created.

BOOKS FOR SHIP LIBRARIES.

The Andrew Carnegie of the seas"
has retired. His name Is John s. Pier
son, and for nearly half century he
has provided libraries for those who
live on the face of the deep. Wherever
ships have sailed his praises have been
sung, says the New York Times.
But with even more interest, per-
haps, than the story Of his going, they
will read that the kind of literature
supplied for them has been changed
Under the old librarian books filed
with sober, solemn, elevating thoughts
formed the bulk of the volumes In the
Libraries sent to the ships; under the
new librarian their places will be ia
ken by thrilling tales of trouble, adj
venture and intrigue-real stories not
preachments.
For long time, the sailors. though
they found elevating matter to read in
the books which Mr.. Person, for the
American Seamen's Friend Society, pro-
vided for them, have been talking
among themselves. and to their init
mates about the popularity of the IL
brarian's taste in literature. Why
preacher should read "Pilgrims Prog
ress," or a statesman "The Rise and
Fall of the Roman Empire" was easy
to understand, but why slch books
should be sent aboard ship for rough
and hardy sailormen was more perplex-
In South street recently as heavy

In the little libraries selected by Mr..
Pierson. The result was that most of
them went unread-by the thoughtless,
at any rate. Some went overheard.
The new librarian, William Filling,
likes lively reading" and has an
nounced that he will provide books
fitting that description for the sailors
hereafter. He will be particular, of
course, not to admit into the travelling
Libraries any books which might have
q pernicious influence, but he will bar
nothing that Is only amusing and excit-
Ing. He is convinced that it is not the
function of the libraries to minister
to the souls of sailors, but TO occupy
their minds In the long, dull spaces
when they are alone on the broad
ocean. So Stevenson's stories Of adj
venture, Laura Jean Libbey's stories of
affairs of the heart (maybe), and the
books of other popular writer's of equal
interest will be sent out Mr.. Filling
thinks that every one of them will be
read.

Animals Crazy.
Texas Charlie" a popular cowboy
on the ranges north of Belle Fourche,
s. d., writes correspondent, barely
escaped horrible death from the
vicious attack of his favorite COW
pony, which had become fatally Iocoed.
The pony, known as Patsy, was a
shapely little dun-colored horse OF un-
usual intelligence.
It first rose in the air with a ire
mendous leap and fell to the ground
with its rider. The cowboy escaped
injury from the fall, but the pony
charged ferociously at the man who
had been his best friend. The man
lodged, and the horse sprang at him
again, but the battle lasted only until
the cowboy could get his gun, when
the horses sufferings were ended.
This is the first year In over twenty
that the loco weed has caused trouble
In this section. Wet weather seems
especially favorable to the growth Of
the weed, and at this time of the year,
after the cotton comes out, it is more
quickly fatal than earlier in the sea-
son. Not only horses, but cattle and
sometimes even sheep, form the fatal
habit. After an animal has tasted 1t
he becomes mad for 1t, and will eat
nothing else. After eating 1t the ami
NAL is practically intoxicated. and be-
comes unreasonable, unreliable and
senseless.
The most alarming characteristics Of
the habit are that 1t is almost impos-
sible to break, and also that if a horse
Is once broken of it he is seldom good
for anything afterwards. The only
hope is to. change his range and to get
him into a country where his fayorite
dope" cannot be found, but even this
expedient often fails, for IL he cannot
obtain the weed the animal may refuse
to eat and die ultimately Of starva-
ton.
Horsemen and cowboys driving
stock ove- the country In season
when the loco is abundant will send
an outrider to look up place to camp,
and he scans the ground carefully to
be sure that there is no loco weed
there.

The Twentieth Century woman is far
more inclined to take serious view
of love and matrimony than either her
mother or grandmother appears to
have been. She may like adm alton.
but as rule she has no desire o pose
as a breaker of mems hearts. View
ed even from a moral standpoint the
girl of the 'thirties, the maiden of
ready bushes and simple white mus
lin frocks, who was taught to regard
every unmarried man who crossed her
horizon as probable lover and a pos
sible husband, was much more for
ward ia spite Of her vaunted modesty
than the bachelor girl, who looks the
realities OF life straight in the face
and understands how the taking of a
husband can prove a curse as well as
blessing. Such a one is most likely
to promise TO marry man without
the full intention to take him for bet
ter or worse.

SNAKE DANCE OF INDIANS.
Graphic Account of a Solemn ana
Wonderful Pagan Ceremony.


Edward S. Curtis, of Seattle, the
noted writer on Indians, has taken
some remarkable photographs of the
Indian which are not merely pictures
but works of art. He has lived ia the
camps of the Indian and Is probably
the best authority on the red man in
this country.
'One of the most interesting expert
ences l ever had" said Mr.. Curtis.
was when l witnessed the snake dance
of the Hopis of Arizona. 1t is a prayer
for rain and for the general good OF
the tribe. The Indians make their
prayer to the snakes. which they re-
gard as the messengers to the gods of
the underworld. The ceremony lasts
nine days and nights. l went through
tribes The first day the Indians 60
into the kew. the ceremonial room or
,eIl, and ON the second day they go
forth into the desert to gather snakes
'They leave the kew In the middle
of the forenoon and file into the des-
ert There they pray to the different
deities through the snakes AS soon
as one finds a snake, il it is of a HARM
less variety, he picks it up and holds
it up to the sun and after prayer
places it in a sack. If it is a rattle
snake or other poisonous variety the
Indian uses a great deal of care In
catching it. After the sun goes down
they go back to the village and place
the snakes in earthen jars. On the
first day they go north for the snakes;
the second day they hunt snakes to
the south and the following day to the
east. Four days are passed in hunting
snakes at the four cardinal points. The
next four days they rest in the kevL
On the ninth day they wash the snakes
This snake washing is, think. tbs
most wonderful pagan ceremony that
ever existed. About noon they take the
reptiles out of the jars. After wash
ing them the snakes are thrown on the
floor to dry. When the snakes are first
taken out of the jars they are In an
ugly mood. but in an instant almos1
they become perfectly harmless. They
are like wood and can be handled by
baby. OF course it is some mysterious
power of snake charming the Indian
exercises to bring about this condition
Just as the sun goes down the pub
lie part of the dance Is held in the viii
lage. The Indians pick up the snakes
and place them in kesi and the snake
priests file past dressed in their full
regalia. After ceremony of song and
prayer lasting perhaps half hour the
priests break into groups and the
snakes are passed out to them indivtd-
ually. The priests take the snakes In
their mouths and pass back and forth
until each one has perhaps dozen or
more snakes. 1t is wonderful cere-
mony, solemn and impressive Wash

Description of Delicate Instrument
Used for Making Record.
The instrument In the observatory on
Mount Whitney, by which the varia-
tons Of the suns heat are measured,
might be called an electrical thermor1e-
ter. 1t is an apparatus 50 large as to
occupy a building of considerable size.
yet the essential part Of It's mechan-
ism, which makes the record, Is fine

Outside of the building is queer-look-
ing machine provided with large cir
cular mirror, which Is controlled BY
clockwork in such way as to face
the sun at all hours and to throw q
reflected beam into the mouth Of
great tube that enters the observatory.
A single ray Of tie sunshine thus con-
veyed is permitted to fall upon the
platinum thread, through which a cur
rent of electricity continually passe&
1t is well known that the electrical
resistance of platinum varies with its
temperatures; and so, by measuring
the resistance Of the thread the heat
of suns ray thrown upon 1t Is de-
termined. So accurate, In fact, is the
determination that a variation of one
millionth of a degree Fahrenheit can
be distinguished.
Changes in the temperature Of the
platinum thread cause the wonderful
little balance to sway, while another
ray Of light allowed to fall upon its
tiny concave mirror is reflected upon q
measuring scale. Thus as the dot Of
reflected light runs along the scale one
may observe with the eye the varia-
tons in the amount OF heat conveyed
by the sunbeam, which comes through
the tube from outside the building
