Hats aud Their Manufacture.

In election times We bet hats. Do we
ever ask ourselves how the hat manufac-
ture started in this country2 Are we
aware that two hundred and twenty-five
years ago Virginia offered q premium of
ten pounds of tobacco for every good hat
made Of wool or fur within her bounds {?
We made SO many hats in America $50
years ago that the Felt Makers Company
Of London petitioned parliament to pro-
hibit all expectation of hats from the
American colonies on the ground
that New England alone was turn
ing out 10000 hats year. Parlia-
ment "graciously acceded" to the request.
Consequently the American hats took
their own course and were glorifled. In
stead OF being made to receive the fall Of
an elephant out of third-story window,
they were made light with reference to
tho sunshine and the beverage which in
spireth. Danbury, in Connecticut, was
making hats 10i years ago. As late as
1916 all the hats were made out Of real
skins. The poor old beaver disappeared
from tho globe in order to furnish
mans brain with q false dome. Next
the nutria had TO sacrifice him
self, and the gentle muskrat was called
into requisition, and the rabbit was
drafted. The Dsnbury hat folks i'm
ported rabbits to breed them artifcially.
but the ee-minded rabbit died or jumped
over the fence. Are you aware, young
gentleman who have paid hat bet, but
have n OF paid for the hat, that the Chinese
first taught us how to make tho present
sort of silk hat? Those hats were started
in this country just fifty years ago. or in
1885. A Frenchman in Paris.put his hand
on tho Chinese silk hat and stole tho
idea. We are not probably aware that
in nearly all the English books the
American hat is referred to as marvel
of lightness aud style. yet It has become
the habit of that class Of young men who
cannot eat dinner up an alley without
dress coat to buy all their hats of Eng
lish make, as IL they might possibly inn
port with the hat some corresponding
brain. Kossuth had great influence in
the United States to introduce here the
wide-brimmed soft wool hat.-"GatH in
NeW York Tribune.

around tho globe. And the one question
Of American homo policy which is now
coming to the front--above currency and
tariff beyond the direction Of industries
and the supervision of travel; of which
civil service reform 10 onlya side tracks,
the training Of American children and
youth for the American citizenship Of the
coming century. of course, this training
is the most sacred duty of the home, the
church, and the teacher. But no agency,
less the representative Of the overwatch-
ing Providence than tho whole people,
doing its broadcast and best for tho sup
port, encouragement, aud supervision of
education, will be found adequate to this
demand. Tho schoolman, priest, or
social philosopher who would remand
American education back to private, fam
lily, or sectarian charge has not so much
as dreamed OF what n true American
man or woman should be. The poll
ticiau who would shut away con-
gress from tho aid and encouragement
Of the training Of the American people
may remain the most accomplished of
politicians, but will nevor become
statesman in the national sense Of that
majestic word. Henceforth, more and
more, tho test Of radical ability in tho
capitol will DO that breadth OF mind,
abundance Of knowledge, and opennoss Of
soul, which enables tho peoples man in
his lofty seat to overlook the country,
and realize that the need Of the humblest
child in the republic is the obligation of
the Hottest craftsmanship in the land.
Now that the great statue Of liberty tow
ers above youder dome, fronting tho
rising sun, and the glorious flag of union
streams out from tho summit Of
tho Washington monument, over
topping evory work of human
hands; now that, for brief
season in tho deadlock Of partisan ad-
ministration all parties arc compelled to
hold truce, why should not the nations

henson Of the peoples emergency and

The oats, where sowed in drills.
seem to be doing much better
than where sowed "broad cast"
We think the secret of this lies in
the fact that the fertilizers are
more concentrated when put in
drills, and hence, are more readily
assimilated by the growing oat.
We think the drill system is de-
cidedly the better plan for sowing
oats.

THE world is made up of all
sorts of people. There are some
whose daily business it is to criti-
else everybody else and their bus
;neas,too. They can't live outside
Of a dirty, murky atmosphere.
They have indulged the habit of
taking about others SO long till
thew feel miserable unless they
are engaged in peddling gossip.
We know men in the city Of Daw-
son, ws,o are credited in some re-
spects with being right clever, hon.
orsble men. but at the same time
10 talk about their neighbors and
gossip with the gossips is q pleas
q Sre to them they can withstand.
OF all the miserable, mean things
man can do is to peddle gossip.
You, who indulge in it,leave it off,
and never be guilty of it again.
Make it a rule of your life that if
gou can't say something good of
YOUR neighbor say nothing at all.
