Thousands Of Years Saved.

One may get some idea Of what rail-
ways mean in the saving Of time and
money to passengers. by taking the
case of London. 1t is estimated that
about 500. 900 persons. or about one
tenth of the population of the entire
area of the metropolis, require to travel
to and from their business every day
all the year round. II we remember
the distances. it is not too much to
assume that the railway will econOmize
for each at least two hours in the week.
or. say five days per mum each. This
over 500. 600 of people means $500. 900
days, or an economy of $500 years OF
800 working days each. Suppose the
average earnings Of these 500. 900 Poo
pie to be flOO per annum each. not too
high an average when We remember
the number of millionaires included in
the total, we shall see a total money
saving. in the sense of time being
money, of equal to ESQ. 900 per annum-

THE HEAD.


A Hat Dealer Asserts That IL Il Growing
Larger In This Country.
ut is interesting" said q hat sales
man yesterday, ito notice how the
shape of a mans head gives away his
nationality"
''Can you tell where q man was born
by sizing up his head?"
Certainly. but not before he trie:
a hat. Americans have long. narrow
heads. and when an average American
comes in for a hat the chances are that
if it is long enough fore and aft it is toe
wide at the sides. II it fits exactly at
the sides it has to be pulled out in
front. Now. with Germans it is the re-
verse. The heads Of Germans are wide
at the temples. and il the hat is the ex-
act length. in nine cases out of ten it has
to be stretched SIDEWAYS to fit"
'.HOw about Hnglishmen's heads?"
establishments heads are not so pro-
nOunced in width. There is more of a
sliding scale with them as to relative
length and breadth. Irishmmen have
oval heads and they are generally
easily fitted.
''SOme people with apparently small
heads require large hats. and others
who seem to have large heads wear 3
small hat. A man may have a large
face, and Yet the part which the hat
covers may be comparatively small.
Taken altogether, heads seem to be
growing larger. I have been thirty
years in business. and when l began to
sell hats the average size ranged from
81 to Z. Now the average is from Z to

o UMBRELLAS.

Seml-Civlllsed Countries Whore They Are
Considered Marks OF Honor.
1t certainly is strange that in almost
all nations and il. all ages there should
have been this same singular jealous
royal monopoly Of so useful an object
as n portable sunshade. which was also
available as a protection against rain.
But SO it has ever been. even in the
highest civilizations of early ages. We
find it depicted on some of the most.
ancient sculptures OF ~PersepOlis, and
also on those of Babylon and Nineveh,
but always as q distinctive mark of
honor for the great lei and rulers.
The Assyrian bas-reliefs show slaves
holding a richly-Ornamented umbrella
above the head Of the monarch, not
only in scenes of peace. but ever in
time of war. 1t appears to be fringed
with tassels. and is provided on one
side with an embroidered curtain. In
these sculptures this mark OF distinction
is reserved exclusively for the monarch.
and it OvershadOws any other
person. however eminent. The same
thing is observed in the sculptures of
Babylon and Nineveh. in which the
King alone is thus distinguished. OF
the ancient Mexican Emperors it is
likewise recorded that not only were
they borne by relays Of great mobiles.
but also that four mobiles of high
estate were appointed to uphold the
sacred umbrella which added dignity
to the imperial procession. Even in
the beginning of the present century
the MOhammedan rulers of HindOstan
claimed a monopoly of the use of the
sunshade, and no n was permitted to
carry an umbrella in the imperial
presence. Thus it is recorded that
certain English merchants having been
admitted to an audience with the King
of Delhi, the ladies who were OF the
company were ordered to dispense
with their parasOls. as being an in
fringement OF the great MOgul's prero-
gative. So they had to protect their
heads as best they might from the suns
burning rays by heaping on heavy
folds of drapery. The magnificence Of
the Indian stats umbrellas was amaz-
ing. Some were of crimson velvet,
richly embroidered in gold. and the
heavy golden handles. which were
eight feet high. were incrusted with
diamonds. That of the Queen of Luck
now. which is now treasured in the
South Kensington Museum. is Of blue
satin. embroidered with gold and seed
pearls. Some were of cloth of gold.
others only Of gilt paper. Some were
even covered with gay feathers, but all
had Tor have) long handles. either OF
beautifully inlaid wood or precious
metals. or even of carved ivory. The

has so increased since then that last
year Natal put upon the market about
