Mr.. SLODGILBY'S HAT SYSTEM,
Might Not Commend Itself to All, but
Seems to Give Satisfaction to Him,

Pretty foxy, my way of buying
straw hats, don't you think?" said Mr..
Slodgilby. Il buy only one straw hat
a year and buy that one always at
about the middle of July at tha time OF
the first mark-down in price Of the
straw hat season; so l always get my
straWs at about % per cent of the
regular price.
An advantage, that, to save q quar-.
ter in the price? Surely: and now
see how buying at that time works out
in other ways
By the middle of July the straw
hats of most people, who buy only one
hat year, have generally begun to
show signs of wear, certainly so IL
their wearers have ever been caught
in shower and so then, when every.
body elses hat is getting old l spring
fresh one on 'em, brand new hat;
like man who, his first hat having
got dusty, had just casually sauntered
into the hat emporium and bought
new one. 1t gives me lot of salts.
faction to run that new hat out In that
way in the middle of the season.
And this hat remains tolerably
fresh when put it away in the middle
of September, and it is really in fair
condition to wear when I bring it out
to start the new season with it in the
following spring.
Other men getting out hats which
they had bought early in the previous
season and so had worn practically
that season through find their hats
pretty shabby looking, while mine real.
ly looks pretty nice and will 60 all
right till the middle of the season,
when buy my new hat on the first
mark down.
This may seem rather complicated
to you, but it works out all right, and
it's pretty good system, it seems to

BELL FROM THE SEA.
Saved From Wreck-Now Announces
News of Overdue Ships.

News of Overdue Ships.
Probably very few people are aware
that an old ships bell which for many
years has lain under the sea is sus-
pended in the underwriting room at
LlOyd's and is used to announce" the
arrival or other news received in re-
spect of overdue ships, says the Scots
man.
This is the bell of the frigate Lutine,
wrecked long ago off the Dutch coast.
After being under the water for years
the bell was salved and now, strangely
enough, is employed to inform under
writer's that something has been heard
of one of those ships which by their
protracted passages are causing un-
eaSinesS.
Not every ship that is on the over
due market is announced in this man
ner. 1t is only when an underwater
has expressed to the committee his
desire for immediate information in
respect to this or that overdue vessel
that the note of the old black bell
rings through the rooms.
At the present time there are eleven
ships down on the list for announce
ment by the Lutine bell, but some Of
these are so hopelessly overdue that it
is practically certain nothing further
will he heard of them. The big steel
bark Alsternixe, for instance, heads
the list. She was formerly the British
ship Lord Templemore, and was built
at Belfast in 1892. This ship has not
been heard Of since last November,
when she sailed from Callao for Aus.

Wild Weeds of Great Value.

New Zealand flax is one of number
Of wild weeds that yield their gather
ers great wealth. This flax, the strong.
est known, grows wild in marshes.
When it is cultivated it dwindles and
it's fibers become brittle and value
less.
Indian hemp grows wild, and out of
it hasheesh, or keef, is made. Keef
looks like flakes of chopped straw. It
is smoked in pipe; it is eaten on liv-
er; it is drunk in water 1t produces
an intense, a delirious happiness; and
among Orientals it is almost as high
ly priced as beer and whisky is with
us.
The best nutmegs are the wild ones.
They grow throughout the Malay
archipelago.
But the most valuable weed of all
these wild growth is the seaweed. The
nitrate beds of South America, which
yield something like $65,OO0,000 a
year, are nothing but beds of seaweed
decomposed.

BUYING OLD FIDDLES.
How Some Fine instruments Have
Been Picked Up Cheap.

Been Picked Up Cheap.
Great numbers of old violins and
violoncellos that come into the high
class market of London are procured
through the medium of advertisements
inserted in obscure country papers,
and especially those of ancient ca
thedral cities.
Of course few of the fiddles thus OBJ
tained are veritable masterpieces, but
a great many of them are fine exam.
pies of early English and foreign max.
ers, and they are often bought for
ridiculously small prices by a group
of experts, who have brought the bust.
ness to lucrative system. Many a
struggling family of long descent, in
some Out-of-the-way part of the coun.
try, happens to see in the one country
newspaper of the week that good
prices are given for old fiddles, and
some long forgotten instrument in a
lumber room, or put away on shelf.
suddenly comes to mind.
Correspondence follows; the dealer
sends a deposit in order that some fid-
die spoken of may be sent to him and
examined, and he usually replies that
the instrument sent is dilapidated
and but so so generally, but that he is
willing to give 3Os or G2 for it. In
great many cases the offer is accepted
offhand, and in this way most of the
finest fiddles extant of the second
class came into the hands of the deal
ers. Only lately a cello that came
from Shropshire farm at the price
Of 92 sold the same day to a West
end dealer for nearly 91OO.
One of the most shrewd and respect.
ed of these dealers was, until year
or two ago, humble member of tho

A Curious Embrocation.

Rattlesnake oil is preserved and
prepared very carefully for use at a
linament in some parts of the world.
Rheumatism and sore joints are the
ailments in which it is chiefly EN-.
ployed. The fat is taken from the dead
reptile and laid upon cloth in the
hot sun, from which the filtered oil
drips into jar. From fear that the
reptile may be bitten itself the clear
oil is tested by dropping portion of
it into milk. If it floats in one globule
it is regarded as unaffected. If it
breaks into beads and curdles the milk
it is judged to be poisonous and
thrown away.-Montreal Standard.

Free Potatoes in Indian Territory.

William Gulager Of MuskOgee has
a potato field of twenty acres near
town, from which he has marketed the
first crop. He says that the present
prices will clear him $81 an acre on
his twenty acres. He will plant sec,
ond crop on the same land. The Sec
ond crop should net $50 an acre.
An interesting phase of the potato
business is that along the roads and
in the fence corners of the potato dis
trict there are enough volunteer po,
tatoes growing outside Of enclosures
for any one who wants potatoes to dig
and carry away all he can use. These
come up from seed wasted in planting
and moving previous crops
