A BARGAIN IN HATS
The Reason One Woman Rejoice J
Willie Another One Mourns
A Philadelphia woman moving In
good society lias been cured of a ma
nia for attending rummage sales but
It took a heroic treatment to effect the
cure The other day she went to a
sale of the description named In aid of
a worthy charity In which she inter
ested and came away minus a cwenty
Qve dollar hat It happened this way
A feature of the sale was a counter I
crowd and in the meantime a fat col
ored womans eyes were glued to the
bat she had left behind on the pile
marked Your choice for 50 cents
It was a golden opportunity not to be
missed Counting out 50 cents in dimes
nickels and pennies she shoved them
The Queen Dec
She possesses the power of choosing
which of her offspring shall be drones
and which workers Some have
thought that this was automatic and
that the narrower worker cell touched
the button so to speak that brought
forth a fertilized egg But the queen
will lay worker eggs in drone cells if
she thinks fit so that settles that
If the drone is male and the queen
female what is the worker The new
woman of Beedom She has given up
her motherhood for a business career
Sometimes though she lays eggs but
they always hatch out drones of which
It is strictly true to say they have a
mother but no father If the queens
wings are crippled so that she cannot
make her marriage flight her children
are all drones An Italian queen in
a hive of black bees will beget work
ers of mixed blood but her sons are
pure Italians Drones are useful as
fathers of workers but they cannot col
lect the honey they eat Their tongues
are too short Ainslees

The old poesy rings are a much
sweeter souvenir than more modern

longed to her great grandmother such
a naiTow gold circlet The motto en
graved inside in old lettering was as
follows God above increase our
love The Claddagh rings of Ire
land are now very difficult to procure
that is the genuine specimens of
course There are many imitations
These rings were heirlooms with the
people of the Claddagh a distinct gyp
sylike race of fishermen and were
handed down from mother to daugh
ter as a wedding ring a marriage be
ing scarcely considered legal if an or
dinary ring were substituted They
were made of massive gold decorated
with a heart bearing a crown sup
ported by two clasped hands signify
ing loyalty love friendship
The Unattnlned
The quickest way to make any man
weary of his life is to give him all his
hearts desire The struggle for the
unattaiued is the secret of joy Here
is a man who has been giving his years
to a reckless round of pleasure Now
you see him waking up to find that the
deepest needs of his soul are still un
touched Or there is another man who
has given twenty five j ears to the ac
cumulation of knowledge and at last
we see him like Dr Casaubon in Mid
dlemarch dying with the stores of
knowledge all around him which he
does not know how to use
Didnt Care to Try
A woman in a railroad station the
other day had a great deal of trouble
with one of her children a boy of sev
en or eight and a man who sat near
her stood it as long as possible and
then observed
Madam that boy of yours needs the
strong hand of a father
Yes I know it she replied but
he cant help it His father died when
he was six years of age and Ive done
my best to get another and failed He
cant have what I cant get Would
you care to try yourself

MOVING NSC0HANI
ON
MAY 28 OCCURS THE ANNUAL
CARNIVAL OF FLITTING
One Day In Each Year When Furni
ture Vans and Cbaott IlelRn Su
preme An Odd System Dalit Up on
the Caution of the Landlord
In Scotland May 28 Is annually given
iover to a perfect carnival of Hitting
In England houses of the higher
filled with untrimmed hats advertised rents are taken by the year at any
Your choice for 50 cents Now the
North Thirty third street woman didnt
want an untrimmed hat at 50 cents
but there was one that caught her
fancy by reason of its odd shape and
she simply couldnt resist the
quarter day and the lower rented ones
by the month or even by the week
The flitting is thus spread over the
year and no confusion arises The
Scottish system is to let houses by the
year from May 28 Even the smallest
tion to try it on So she took off the consisting of only one room are so let
handsome hat she was wearing placed On the great day in any large town the
It on the counter and picked up the un- sights afforded range from the laugh
trimmed one Then she looked around able to the pathetic
for a mirror There was only one and As soon as it is daylight the vans
that was away at the other end of the previously trysted begin their work
long room the goods are loaded up with more
She pushed her way through the haste than care and to the
ment of the good housewifes lamenta
tions as some cherished household god
is roughly flung into the van
Arrived at the destination further
troubles are in store Perhaps the new
house is not yet vacated and as the
van Is required for other removals the
at the innocent young attendant and goods are dumped down in the street
made good her escape with the fash
ionable womans hat Exchange
and there the poor family is left
stranded for the time Occasionally
some streets in Glasgow for instance
present an appearance of wholesale
evictions
So numerous are the demands that
vans cannot always be obtained and
every kind of Vehicle including horse
less carriages popularly known as
hurleys are pressed into the service
supplemented by father mother and
the children each carrying pictures
mirrors or other cherished articles too
precious to trust to the tender mercies
of some ramshackle conveyance
These processions are moving along
all day The representative of law
and order upon this day at least Is
very lenient his gruff Move on is
less in evidence and his ready note
book gets a rest There are no cases
of obstruction reported although often
loaded vans have to remain in a street
all night
It may be that the polisman grasps
the humors of the situation or perhaps
a fellow feeling influences him No
doubt his own flitting is in progress
and he retires off duty to some strange
abode there to assist in carrying in
his goods to sup off a crust of bread
and cheese and sleep on the floor as
others have to do
A stranger naturally inquires the
cause of this one day given over to
chaos It is to be found in the cau
tion of the Scottish landlord It is dif
ficult to obtain a house at any other
time than the lawful removal day and
the canny house owner has prudently
secured his rent a fortnight previously
May 15
Moonlight flirtings are thus prac
tically unknown and there is little
loss of rent from that cause The rents
being payable half yearly only the
cost of collection is reduced as is the
risk of loss to a minimum The sys
tem entails great hardship to working
men compelled to change the scene of
their labors They frequently cannot
obtain a house until term day and have
consequently to take lodgings and sup
port their family in another town
If fortunate enough to obtain a house
the landlord steps in and requires his
full years rent to be paid or deposited
in bank before he allows the goods to
be removed The unfortunate head of
a household is also responsible for the
full years rates of his new house
although he may have paid in full at
his vacated house
The only advantage to the tenant is
security of tenure for twelve months
and the certainty of being accommo
dated at the expiry in the general
scramble Of course it happens some
times through new houses being erect
ed that some one is able to start the
ball rolling a day or two before term
to the comfort of all involved in the
particular circuit but generally speak
ing May term day in Scotland is not
an institution to be admired and copied
Strange to say Sandy not only takes
this day philosophically but is much
mere addicted to flitting than people
south of the Tweed some families mov
ing regularly every year without any
apparent necessity One would scarce
ly expect the worry and discomfort of
the day and succeeding temporary
chaos to be voluntarily undertaken but
the fact is so
The continuance of the system itself
is a standing monument to the British
long suffering and law abiding nature
