The Silk Hat Habit.
From the Net0 York World.

From the Nelo York World.
The silk hat habit prevails to a great ex-
tent at the capital. The first thing i'm
pressed upon the minds of new Representa-
tives from the West and South is the neces-
sity of replacing their comfortable soft felt
hats with something more metropolitan.
They usually give in after time, but there
is not one of them who will go back to his
constituents with this evidence of Eastern
affectation ON his head. They save their
old battered hats and wear them when they
return to their people. When William K.
Morrison was Representative in Congress
he was noted among certain observant peo-
pie for wearing on different occasions three
distinct styles of head gear. He had a silk
hat for fine weather, a stiff felt hat for
rainy days and an old battered back-country
head-covering to wear in his district or
when any of his people were
visiting Washington. John j. O'Neill,
the labor advocate, was nearly ruined
in his district by the circulation of
the report that he had been seen on
head. One of the Territorial delegates was
threatened with exposure recently for wear
ing a high hat and smoking cigarettes.
1.-The cigarettes are all right" he said, 'be-
cause down in our country the Mexicans
smoke them great deal, but for heavens
sake don't let my people know l wear a
high hat here" The best of these stories,
however, is told on Senator Reagan. When
he was a member of the House he went
down to Palestine to look after his fences,
and on the train be wore his silk hat
When he got out of the railroad car and
into his open carriage his wife called his at
tention to the hat. Mr.. Reagan saw but
too quickly the blunder he had made. The
next moment the remedy occurred to him.
Hastily taking off his hat, he gave it to
Ms. Reagan, who concealed it under her
cloak. Mr.. Reagan was then driven tri-
umphantly through the streets of Pales-
tine He was warmly welcomed by his
constituents To each of them who made
inquiries he related fictitious story of the
loss of his hat from the car window. Mr.
Reagan's ruse was successful, and he con-
graduated himself afterwards on having
retrieved one Of his greatest political err

News of the serious illness of Dom Pedro
H., Emperor of Brazil, is received with
sincere regret in this country His ma jesty
has Travelled extensively in the United
States, and has impressed favorably sall
with whom he has made acquaintance, by
his unaffected, manly bearing, his affa-
bility, his eager and well informed intelli-
gence, and his earnest desire to benefit, by
the adoption of the best means of industrial
| and social improvement, the great country
over which he reigns. He is a man of
| good natural parts, improved by keen and
comprehensive observation, and by study,
and excels in his acquaintance with the re-
suits of both literary and scientific pursuits.
In every way a progressive ana exemp-
larv ruler, his death would be severe blow
to Brazil, country which, backward as it
is when compared with the leading States
in Europe and this country is incidentally
| indebted to Dom Pedro for the rank it holds
among the nations. His people have indeed
| followed him in the way of Improvement
| but at too great distance.
| Dom Pedro is a descendant, in the direct
male line, of the house of Braganza, the
| female line of which is ruling over Por tu-
| gal Eighty years ago the royal family of
Portugal fed to Brazil. The colony was
declared kingdom eight years after. In
1921 the Portuguese court returned to
Europe, and a national congress was con-
vened at Rio de Janeiro. The next year
Dom Pedro, eldest son of King Joan VI, of
Portugal, was chosen Perpetual De-
fender" of Brazil. Shortly after Brazil
was declared independent of Portugal,
and on Oct. IL, 1922 Dom Pedro was
chosen constitutional Emperor and Per-
| petual Defender" He abdicated the crown
in 1881, when his son, the present Emperor,
succeeded him. Brazil is governed consti-
| tionally. There are four powers in the
State-the legislative, the executive, the
| judicial, and the sovereign's prerogative
The ruler of this vast empire, which con-
tains ten millions or more of inhabitants,
receives about $400, 900 year for his sup
port with appropriate state and dignity.
The Emperor was born on Dec 2, 1926
the son of the Emperor Pedro l., and of the
Archduchess Leopoldina, of Austria. He
was less than five and half years old when
made Emperor. In July, 1910, he was de-
| clared of age, and was crowned about a
year after. He was under Is years of age
when he married Theresa, daughter of
King Francis l., of the Two Sicilies, lady
nearly four years older than he. They
have one daughter, but no other
surviving children. The Princess label
is the Crown Princess of the empire. She
| acted as Regent in her fathers prolonged
absence from his country few years ago
| At the age of IS she was married to Prince
| Louis of Orleans, Con1te d'Eu, who is the
eldest son of the Duke de Nemours, of the
French ex-Royai House of Bourbon Or
| leans She is the mother of three sons, and
the succession to the throne of Brazil is not
| at all likely to go a-begging.

in the public mind regarding the contagi-
BUSINESS of diphtheria. The direct commu-
nication Of the disease is shown by Young
lady who came home sick with diphtheria
III mild form, and on her arrival her
brothers and sisters embraced her. They
were all attacked wsth malignant type of
dlphtheria, and one died. The same young
lady visited her aunt in another family
where there were four children who took
the disease, and one died. No other cases in
the vicinity,

Ah0tner case If that of boy who had
dlphtherla in Boston. He came to this
state to visit relatives. In few days after
his arrival his aunt washed some of his
clothing, and was taken with diphtheria
the next week, and it went through the
family, four cases. Before the aunt was
taken sick the boy went to another place
and played with another boy, who took the
hslP rbat and gave it to w9Other persons
The doctor reports a sad case as follows:
AN only child was taken sick with diphthe-
ria and died on the fourth day. The young
mother in her grief kissed the child aud
TOOK tho disease. Within a week she was
buried beside the child.
In nelghborhood where no diphtheria
had existed for four years a school teacher
visited city-a notrious hotbed of dith-
tnerla. He contracted what he called a
sllght sore throat. He returned home with
Inns sun upon him and opened SCHOOL, in
Jess IMAM a week six were lying sick with
dlphtheria and the school was closed. The
result was five deaths, three of which were
adults.
In one family three children died of this

into quarrel over a sweet potato which
George had placed in the fire to roast for
her grandson. George took the potato
out OF the fire, and when his mother told
him to put il back, he denied having
taken il. She told him he WAS u liar, and
then, in joking way he told her she
mustn't call man liar. She replied
that he was no man, only an oyergrown
boy Then, in not quite so playful q man
