ONE OF THE FASHIONABLE HATS
FOR AUTUMN
One of the new shaggy felts so
serviceable for knock-about wear is
the subject of the sketch above. These
felts appear in the soft shapes with
rolling brim which are pulled down
over the face in becoming and stylish
lines, a fashion which has suffered no
diminution of its popularity since last
winter. With a few exceptions these
hats show the new facing band of
silk. The model shown is a beige felt
with turned up brim faced in self
tone silk, a length of this same silk
swathing the crown; while to the
right of the crown is placed a small
but jaunty little black wing.
HOP MARKET ACTIVE; i
TAKING ALL GRADES
Dealers reported a strong general
interest in the hop market at the op
ening Monday, buyers and sellers
alike being disposed to do business,
and as a consequence it is believed
that the trade this week will fully
equal that of last week, and possibly
exceed it in volume.
The interesting feature of the mar
ket at this time is the demand for the
medium and lower grades. Up to
about a week ago the buyers could
hardly be induced to consider the in
ferior offerings at any price but since
then, with holdings of the best in the
state reduced to very small propor
tions, their attitude has lhangfd. Nfiw
they are taking hops of all sorts, at
prices of course in line with the qual
ity of the product.
For the be"sT hops available in the
Valley buyers generally are paying 17
to 19 cents, and quality stock as usual
is the most rapidly sold. The next best
grades are said to be going at 12 to
16 cents, and for poor stock dealers
are reported to be. paying around 10
cents. The holders of the cheap stuff
are said to be letting go in a fairly
free way at the prices offered, while
growers who have "quality stock still
unsold are holding more firmly and
as a rule getting full prices for their
goods.
The chances are fnat a large portion
of the Valley crop will be disposed of
before the end of the month. Orders
from the East are now coming much
more freely than was the case earlier
in the season, indicating a general de
sire on the part of the brewery trade
to cover wants for the remainder of
the season as soon as possible because
of the growing scarcity of the good
grade stock.
Shipments for the Eastern markets
are being made up and dispatched as
rapidly as conditions will permit in
order to affect a saving in transporta
tion charges, which are going to be
advanced November 20. In many cases
it is said, consignments, yet unsold,
are being forwarded to save the in
crease in freight charges, the shippers
planning to sell the goods while they
are on their way East.
The Scented Court.
"The scented court" was the name
by which the court of Louis XV. was
known throughout Europe on account
of the rage for perfume which then
prevailed in France. The expenditure
of Mine, de Pompadour for this one
branch of her toilet amounted to $100.
000 annually. It became the fashion
for ttle host or hostess of a great en
tertainment to signalize to their gifcsts
what particular perfume was to be
employed for scenting their rooms on
the night for which the invitations
were issued, and they were expected tc
use no other, so that the delicate effect
of a unity of odors might be produced
At court a different perfume was pre
sented for each day of the week

Endurance of Migrating Birds.
The vigor and endurance that birds
display upon the wing are astonishing.
Nearly all the migratory species of
Europe must cross the Mediterranean
without resting. The little bluebird
pays an annual visit to the Bermudas.
600 miles from the continent, and Wil
son estimated its very moderate flight
at more than a mile a minute. Re
markable stories are told of the long
flights of tame falcons, one going 1,300
miles in a single day. Jawel mentions
carrier pigeons that flew from Rouen
to Ghent, 150 miles, in an hour and a
half, and a certain warbler must wing
its way from Egypt to the Baltic, 1.200
miles. In one night.

ton Transcript.
Origin of "the Levant."
Nowadays "the Levant" means solely
the eastern Mediterranean region. But
it really signifies the east in a general
senses the region of the rising sun, in
fact being derived from the French
"lever," to rise. By "the high Levant"
Bacon meant, the far east. In the
eighteenth century Chambers' Encyclo
pedia explained that "Levant" applied
to any country to the eastward of one,
and in this sense Evelyn wrote of
"more Levantine parts than Italy."
"Levant," indeed, was Interchangeable"
with "orient." just as "ponent" was
with "Occident." So we find Milton
writing of "Levant" and "ponent"
minds. Loudon Chronicle.
