HOW Pashion Rohs the Fnrmer.

According to William butcher, pres
ident Of the Audubon Societies OF the
United States, birds save the farmer
s200,000,000 In the destruction of
noxious insects and noxious weeds.
The great destroyers Of birds are the
plume hunters for millinery purposes
Birds destroyed for food are restocked
by natural purposes, but the plume
hunters recognize no closed season.
Millinery interests In America rep
resent $38,000,000 worth OF work done
by the birds for the farmers. AS
Bobwhite is the arch destroyer of the
potato bug and the cuckoo Of the
caterpillar and the woodpecker of the
boring grub and the lark Of the grass
hopper and the sparrow OF the weed
seeds, President butcher thinks the
birds are entitled to at least fair play
from the milliners.

Why Mons Hats Have a Bow.

A bow is always 10 be found on the
left side Of mans hat This is a sur
vival of the old days when hats were
costly articles. In order to provide
against the hat being blown away In
stormy weather cord or ribbon was
fastened around the crown, with ends
hanging so that they could be fasten-
ed to part of the attire or could be
lrasped by the hand The ends fell
on the left side, OF course, as the left
hand is more often disengaged than
the right When not required It was
usual for the ends to be tied In bow.
The bow became smaller and smaller,
but 1t still remains and Is likely to do
so as long as the men wear hats.
