IESDRTCK B. WKIeHT's tvb, which he
has been anxious Ter a long tisle to throw
to the popular whale, was i-re.rieyably
suamped in The House at Washington, on
Monday last. We refer, Of course, to his
hobby Of contribution by :he general
government Of i've hHnGredsGslIars TO be
paid to each head OF family, to enable
him 10 settle upon the public lands. The
carpet baggeTs promised thecJ,Ored voters
of the South forty acres of land and mule,
but Wright, ia the fullness of ais generos-
ity, proposed 10 give every married man
four times forty acres, and akO to make
him present Of five hundred dollar
greenBack note, to enable him to go West.
On Monday WrigLt's bill came regularly
before the House, aud was defeated by n
vote Of % ayes to 2l2 nays. Thus were
buried Hcndrick Z. WriCht'a Eond hopes
of legislative Immortality.

Hats.

How few of us have traced the history
of the hat The felt hat is as old as
Homer. The Greeks made them in skull
caps-conical, truncated, narrow or broad
brimmed. The Phyrgian bonnet has
an elevated cap without brim, the apex
turned over in front 1t is known rs the
Cap of Liberty. An ancient figure Of Lii
berty, in the time Of Antonius Livy,
A. D. 145, holds the cap in his right hand.
The Persians wore soft caps; plumed hats
were the head-dress of the Syrian corps
of Xerxes; the broad brim was worn by
the Macedonian Kings. Castor means Il
beaver. The American captive wore
plug hat. The merchants Of the four
teenth century wore Flanders beaver;
Charles VII, in 1869, wore a felt hat
lined with red and plumed. The English
men and women in 1910 wore close wool
en- or knitted caps; two centuries ago hats
were worn in the house. Pcpys IN his
diary in 1864, wrote: September, 1854,
got a severe cold because took Off my
hat at dinner,' and again, in January,
1865, he got another cold by sitting too
long with his head bare to allow his
w1fes maid TO comb his hair and wash
his ears. And Lord Clarendon, in his
essay, speaking of the decay of respect
due the aged, says s.that in younger days
he never kept his hat on bcfs re those
older than himself except at dinner"
In the thirteenth century Pope Innocent
w. allowed the Cardinals the use Of the
scarlet cloth hat. The hats now in use
are cloth hat, cork hat, embossed hat, felt
nat, fur hat, leather hat, paper hat and
straw hat.

Bogus Coins.

Coin countclfeitcrs direct their atten-
ton chiefly to the quarter and half dol
lar silver pieces, though they by no means
confinc themselves thereto. The outfit for
the work consists of few genuine coins,
some antimony, lead, type metal, pulvcr-
lied glass, small galvanic battery,
crude milling machine and a moderate
supply Of plaster of PARIS. With the
plaster of Paris the make models-very
pc Lrfcct oncs-of the coin. Sometimes in
one mould there will be cavities exactly
the size of all the silver coins, with the
impression of one side on onc-haif the
mould and the other bearing the fac-sim-
lie of the reverse. The base metal, an
timony lead, type metal and pulverized
glass-though tin is sometimes used-is
melted and poured into the mould. When
sufficiently cooled the metal is taken out.
The coin has dingy, rough and not at
all dccciving look. 1t is smoothed with
u knife as far as possible, the rough edges
being cut off. 1t is next run edgewise
through small milling machine, which
generally consists of two small coggcd
wheels. This makes the notches around
the edges. All that is now left to give
the coin the appearance ofgcnuine money
is coating of silver. This the counter
feitcr secures from genuine coin. The
genuine coin, subjected to the action OF
the battery, soon loses some of the silver.
Before it is sufficiently dissolved to total
Iy defacc it the coin is taken out Enough
genuine silver is in this way procured
from single coin to plate dozen coun-
tcrfeits, and the original looks, after the
opcratian, as if it were but a little worn,
and can be readily passed. This process
is called sweating" The work is very
SIMPLE A good hand at the business can
make his moulds from plaster of Paris and
begin turning out spurious pcices all in
two or three hours. In counterfeiting
gold com the same met cd is pursued, a
genuine gold coin substituted for the sill
yer one in the sweating process being the
only change. 1t is much more difficult,
however, to get decent gold counterfeit
than it is one of silver; therefore there is
not much doing in that line Of business.
The use of rulverized glass in the CON-
position of counterfeit coin is for the pur-
pose OF giving them a ring something
li.e that possessed by the genuine metal.
They can always be detected, however,
by their weight, never being as heavy as
the genuine.

ored kid slippers and sandals are worn

A favorite way Of wearing the broad
sash so popular at present IS to place it
around the waist to form a belt, and to
tie it carelessly on the left side in large.
loose knot.
Hamburg cdging of a rich pattern, with
all the ground or muslin cutaway, is us d
for stripping the tabliers of pongee dresses
and dresses of otner monochrome material.
Black grenadine dresses are relieved by
transparent sleeves of black Spanish lace,
and there are beaded sleeves with vest to
match worn with heavy black silk trained
dresses.
Dark olive, gendarmc blue, myrtle
green, and very deep wine color are the
best selections for the contrast with Poni-

slate color and blue, tan with rose and
dark blue with white. Only two colors
are shown in the new combinations.
Lace sleeves are seen on all dressy
silks used for dinner and evening When
these are white, they are usually of Val
encicnnes, but if the scarf or sash is
white Spanish lace, the sleeves should
correspond.
A very preceptible change, says Paris
correspondent, is coming over the man
ncr of dressing the hair, doubtless occa
casioned by the different style Of bonnet
now in vogue. The hair is worn neither
very high nor very low; the chiguon, or
back hair, scarcely reaches the bandeau,
and falls only to the top Of the nape of
the neck. The hair is worn close to the
head, and there is no extra size or bulki-
ness aimed at; the front hair is cut and
fringed, but all exaggeration is avoided.
The hair should never touch the eyelids;
if it does the effect is hideous; but then
again, if the hair is too short the forehead
looks bare. The just medium is attained
by letting the hair fall to the centre of
the forehead in The very lightcst curly
waves possible. Plaits-to which we al
ways return-are again to be seen. most
people arc content with wearing their
own hair, but many wear false additions,
which TO be comfortable should be as
light as possible.

SO straight ahead they went till they
came to the rock where the eagles nest was
Then what should they do? They could
hear the old mans little, thin voice tcH 'ng

wouldn't dare come where the COW was.
even if he could Chamber down that steep
rock. AT last, Tab suggested that the
COW should hide herself, while he climbed
up int the nest and persuaded the old
man. So the COW hid, and puss scram
bled up to the nest and carefully poked
his head in. ... ~. s-aae
"Ah, MASTER" he whispcred "climb
down the rock tonight, and I'll show
you the way home.' And he disap-
peared. -... .....
The visit braced up the old mans
courage, and when the mother-bir came
home he calmly told her he thought he'd
sleep at the foot of the rock that night;
and she unsuspectingly took him in her
talons and dropped him gently on the
ground.
AS soon as she had gone, the old man
looked all about him, and called 'Tabby,
Tabby," very softly. Tabby came out
from under the roots of tree and bound
ed on his shoulder, and told HIM ~hoa
sorry the COW was, and how she was wait
ing in a tnicket ready to carry him
home, if he wanted to 60.
Of course he wanted to 60, and in less
than ,iitfy the COW had come out from
her hiding place, had cried little, and
had taken the old man on her back and
started full speed down the mountain,
with the cat tearing after her.
1t was long way to the old mans
house, and they reached it just tired out
Of course, they got something to eat, and
then they went to bed, and slept right
through two days, but on the morning of
the third day they got up as merry as
crickets, and, after hearty breakfast,
they agreed to 1--we together for the rest
of their lives. And they have lived ever
since i'll perfect harmony. Nicholas.
