For the Tailor Made Hat.


The hat of tailor made persuasion
which is 81 useful an adjunct of the
tailor made suit may be altered in va
rious ways by being provided with
several changes of trimming. A novel
notion that has occurred to q girl with
good ideas can be turned to account
When a new crown band, ribbon or
bow is added to the hat a necktie to
match it in color should be chosen. In
this way dark suit may be given a
touch of brilliance which will add
greatly to its appearance.
Surprising a band of cord and beads
be added to the hat, then the soft
white collar may be fixed together i'll
front by an ornament, made on safety
pin, of beads and cord to match the
band.
Another day a band of colored velvet
ribbon with donkey ear bows at the
sides will diversity the appearance of
the hat, and then the collar will be
finished with a large bow to match,
fastened upon the blouse with fancy
pins.
One of the prettiest trimmings for
the tailor made hat on a fine day is 4
closely plated frill of cream cOlored
lace, with a frill to match worn upon
the blouse. Strictly speaking, such Il
hat Is not, of course, entitled to the
name of tailor made. 1t is the 'be

ularly useful at this season of the
year. Neither too severe nor too dressy.

GOOD NEWS

Il and Profited Thereby.


Good news travels fast" and the
thousands of bad back sufferers in
Richmond are glad TO learn where re-
lief may be found. Many lame,
weak and aching back is bad no more,
thanks to Doan's Kidney Pills. Our
citizens are telling the good news OF
their experience with the Old Quaker
Remedy. Here is an example worth
reading:
c. NJ. Wilson, blacksmith. 220 South
Ninth street. Richmond. Ind. says:
For years | have known Of Doans
Kidney Pills and it is a pleasure TO
let others know about them. My kid
neys were irregular in action and the
kidney secretions contained sediment
had pains through the small of my
back and ii was hard for me 10
straighten after STOPPING, Doan's Kid
ney Pills made my kidneys strong
and after that the pains disappeared. "
Mr.. Wilson is only one of the many
Richmond people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your
back aches-if your kidneys bother
you. don't simply ask for a kidney
remedy-ask distinctly for Doan's Kid
ney Pills, the same that Mr.. Wilson
had-the remedy backed by home tes-

WATERSPOUTS.
Old Time Mariners Fought Them With
Noise and Cannon.

a"1 SAHHS"s
In the waterspout the medieval
mariner saw a malevolent living mon
ster-a sea dragon. There were vari-
Gus means OF combating them. Once
all sailors carried black handled knives,
which the monster was believed to
hold in special adherence.
When a spout made its appearance
these knives were produced and point
ed In its direction. waved in the air SO
as to make the sign Of the cross or. &C
cording TO the Recommendation OF GER
tain contemporary authorities, driven
several times into the side Of the ship.
Certain passages from the gospel OF
ST. John were recited as charms
against waterspouts.
A loud noise of any kind was also
believed to be efficacious against them
shouts. the clash Of swords, the beat
ing Of drums and gongs. etc. The Gus
tom OF firing cannon against water
spouts. says the Scientific American,
dates back at least as far as the six
teenth century. The original idea ap-
pears 10 have been TO Brighten them
away by the noise OF the report, but in
the later times IL was believed that the
watery column could be cut in twain
by the cannon ball and the spout thus
dissipated. 1t would be interesting 10
know whether the cannonading Of wa
terspouts Is still sometimes practiced
1t was certainly common much less
than a century ago. 1t is hardly nee
essary to say that 1t is entirely futile.

Women as inventors.

The Scientific American proves that
most Of the articles invented by wo-
men have to do with farming and
farming apparatus.
The first patent granted to woman
was for process of straw and silk
weaving. invented by Mary Kies.
The second was to Mary Brush for a
corset and the third to Sophie Usher for
a toilet lotion made of cream of tartar
and violet water.
Then came Phoebe Collier with an
invention for saving wheel fellies, and
Miss Buckley invented a new way to
make a sheet iron shovel.
Recently a combined toaster and
warming pan was invented by Agnes
Phelps Of Chicago. with Florence King
as her attorney and two women wit
nesses.
Altogether only a little more than
5000 patents have been granted to
women, while men have nearly 1000
600 to their credit.
