The South Sea Islanders in many cases 20
without hats. Two elaborate head-dresses
from the Easter Islands are conspicuous in one
of the cases. These have no crowns. but are
simply bands to go about the head ornamented
with rooster feathers. The Easter Islanders
have chickens. pigs and other adjuncts of civ
ilization. and they take much pride in the
decorations made from the long tail feathers
of their ROSTERS.
Among the hats and caps in the collection
none is more interesting than one from the
Madeira Islands, worn bv both men and women.
The cap is of black silk. round and conical.
running into little point like rat tail. This
cap is set iauntily on the head. raked far over
TO one side. and gives quite a gay air to the
gallant who wears it.
Hanging up in Prof. MasOn's Office is a Mexi-
can sombrero of heavy drab felt, corded and

hair, bad eye. and a couple of pistols and q
bowie-knife in ones belt would give one a good
start on border drama or a wild western tale
of the blood and thunder stripe. The SOM
brero WAS borrowed from the Mexicans by the
cowboy. 1t came TO the Mexican from the
Spanish hidalgo. The Mexican and the south
western cowboy take much pride in their hats
paying sometimes as much as $40 for them
They are made of good material. and the band
or cord is often of real silver bullion, rolled
and plated

Cossack wears hat like stove-pipe without a
brim. The stove-pipe hat. or silk hat, repre-
sents the most advanced step in hat making.
1t is the hat recognized as appropriate on dress
occasions in every civilized country. First
they were called beavers. because they
were made of beaver fur, and the name
still sticks to them. although now they
are made or, at least, covered with silk or fine
silk plush. In fact they made chiefly of
calico. The body or form of the best French
silk hats is made on block by covering it with
two or three layers of Calico which is stiffened
with shellac. When this calico hat is made the
silk covering Is drawn over it. The outside is
then ''veloured" on wheel, and receives the
fine gloss. which the the purchaser afterwards
seeks to preserve by the use OF many little arts.
The silk hat has many names. Ii passes through
several STYLES in year. The hat worn one fall
looks old fashioned the next fall. The addition
OF trifie to the height, modification in the
curl of the brin. Il slight change in the out
ward curve of the. crown, approved by the
leaders of fashion, often sends thousands
of bran-new stove-pipes to the graveyard of
hats or to the secondhand store, to be sold to
persons not fastidious about style. They were
called stove-pipes from their resemblance at
one time to lengths of stove-pipes. Another
name by which they are recognized, a sort of
slang name. is plug hat. In some parts of
the southwest. Prof. Mason said, they are
called begums. The silk hat or stiff hat is also
colloquially called tile. probably because it
serves as roof or covering for the head

BOULANGER'S TRIAL.
The Prosecution Declared to be FrivO-
iOus by Some Senators.

At the trial of Ger. Bouianger yesterday,
while the senate was in secret session, a motion
from the right declaring that there was no
ground for u judicial inquiry into the conduct
of Boulanger was rejected by vote of 2O9 to
Sc. The senate then resolved, by IA vote of 2lO
to 55, to proceed Immediately with his trial
Thereupon the doors were re-opened and the
public session was resumed. NJ. Leroyer read
the decrees authorizing the senate to sit as a
court andldirecting that the trial proceed.
The following commission has been ap-
pointed to conduct the trial of General Boulan-
ger and the other accused persons: Senators
Merlin. .Cazot, Cordelet, Trarieux, Munies, De
Marcere, Demole, Lavertiyon, Morellet and
Humbert. Assistant commissioners have also
been appointed, who will replace their col
leagues on the regular commission if neces-
sary. The assistant commissioners are Sena-
tors Garrigat, Dusoiier, Duelie, Deroziere and
Testelin.
Senator Delbreil will not attend the trial
He holds that a political body like the senate
has no right to try delegate of the people, He
declaSes that the trial is revolutionary meas
ure and defiance of universal suffrage. Sem
ator Leon Renault will also abstain from par
ticipation in the trial Several members of
the right have refused to accept q seat on the
senate committee. Marshal Canrobert, in an
excited speech, said he would never be q party
to the prosecution on such frivolous grounds

The Chinese mandarin and men of conse-
quence wear little round silk skull caps most
all the time. These are ornamented on the top
with buttons. whose colors denote the order or
rank OF the wearer. Among the coolies round
umbrella-lke hats are worn. These serve for
shelter from storm and sun, in the place Of
umbrellas when 1t rains and of parasols when
the rays of the sun beat down Internationally.
The cooiie carrying tea or other commodities
as he serves as a packhorse has yoke on his
shoulder and travels with his burden through
the country day after day, and his hat has to be
almost like the roof of his house. He cannot
carry an umbrella. There are little round
wooden hats, mere discs. slightly concave.
among the Chinese and Burmese. As stated
above. this form of hat prevails also on the
northwest coast. where they are sometimes
prOfusely Ornamented by the Haida and other
Indians with carved images and painted SYM
bos.
In Mohammedan countries the turban is
found. Some of these are scarfs wrapped and
twisted about the head. Others are combina-
tions of scarf and feZ. with button and tassel.
The MOhammedan often lays out all his means
in the purchase OF beautiful piece of silk for
his tQrDau.

From the Boston Transcript.
The listener was about TO write a chapter on
the professional men who belong to the church
for professional purposes only and who come
to regard their church as their peculiar pre-

have no right TO pOach. On second thought
however. he has decided not TO write the

stranger at church, upon whom Plugham be-
slowed glance Of slight recognition. and after
the service Plugham and the stranger were
seen III conversation for a moment or two in

The modern hat of Europe and the United
States has come down through many stages of
development. Prof. Mason thought the stove
pipe hat owed Its origin to the desire of man to
increase his height and his seeming import
ance. In the days of the roundheads high hats
made their appearance. and it was the differ
ence in hats as well as by the somberness of the
rest Of their garb that the Cromwellites were
distinguished from the cavaliers and royalists.
The hat of the Roundhead had "a high sugar
loaf or conical crown and wide fat brim.
Such hats were worn by the Pilgrim fathers.
They were like the steeple-crown hats that
witches are represented wearing on their
broom-stick journeys. The cavaliers on the
contrary, wore low hats, something like the
sombrero, with wide brim, which was some-
times caught up on one side and also orna-
mented with feather or plume. The three
cornered hat was direct descendant of this
slashing cavalier hat. Two sides and then three
sides were caught up. and in this way the three
cornered hat was made

A QUESTION IGNORED.
Mr.. BalfOur Declines to Explain Sc
cret Circular to the Police.

In the house of commons last evening Prof.
Stuart radical, asked Mr.. Balfour. the chief
secretary for Ireland, whether the circular
sent TO the Irish police directing them to col
late all secret information regarding the doings
OF members of the national league was de-
signed to aid the London Times'
Mr.. Balfour replied that he made it a rule
neither to own nor deny the truth of allega-
tons regarding the issue of secret circulars.
Mr.. Parnell demanded straightforward
answer. The circular. be said, was a fact. If
1t was intended for government purposes. Mr.
Balfour had nothing to conceal. HIS refusal to
explain implied that there was something to be
ashamed OF. t'Hear, heart The use made
of the circular proved that the government
was not neutral toward the commission Inves-
tigating the Times charges. They were the
prosecutors behind the Times. Referring TO
the use of battering rams i'll enforcing eyic-
tons in Donegal, Mr.. Parneil protested against
such cruelty and barbarity.
NJ. BaifUur ignored the question regarding
the secret circular. Regarding the battering-
rams he held that it was necessary to use
them. the tenants had built elaborate fort
works inside their doors.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt described the
policy of Mr.. Balfour one of determination
The government remedy for suffering tenants
was to level the poor peoples houses with bat
tering-rams.
Mr.. Goschen declared that the Parnellites
were responsible for that. They had substi-
tuted warfare between landlord and tenant for
friendly relations based upon recent laws.
which put Irish tenants in more favored and
protected position than any people in the
world. EvlctlOns were not taking place be-
cause tenants could not pay their rent. but be-
cause they would not do SO. Sir William YER
non Harcourt seemed to prefer that police
mems heads be battered in to seeing door
broken.

Correspondence of THE EVENING STAR
The post-office kettle is still a boiling.
Strange to tell, while this contest is going on
with vigor sundry stanch republicans volun-
teer the statement on the street that they are
satisfactorily served in the post-office by the
incumbent, Mr.. c. L. Mankin.
The following are the recent sales of real
estate: Mr.. Geo. w. Boiling has purchased of
Mrs. l.. S. Gorden two and One-half acres of
land on opposite side of the road from the
Gordon residence for $3.50. Mr.. Boiling will
build on his slightly location fine residence
Watson Lloyd has sold to Hiss r. L. Brown, of
Manchester, n. H., his new residence and out
buildings and five acres of land for 1880.
Both of these purchases are near the old depot.
Mr.. Lloyd has also sold what was his fathers

This is in the village. Another important sale
there will be completed as soon as the title is
fully established.

Corea, the land of the morning calm, is also
called the land of hats, because of the great va
riety of hats found among the people there.
Some Of these styles have been displayed on
the streets here by members of the Corean le-
CATION. There are gauzy looking hats with
very small crowns and huge umbrella-like hats
that seem to be balanced on the head The
smallness of the crown of many of the hats is
accounted for by reason of the fact that this
part of the hat is intended to cover only the
tOp-knot of the wearer. A peculiar hat worn
by the COrean courtier looks something like a
helmet 1t has double crown, one to fit the
head and the other providing a sort of dome
into which the top-knot fits. There are two
gauzy flaps extending from the back for
ward. When the wearer is not at court these
flaps are turned up so they do not show
but III the presence of the king they
are spread out. They represent ears. and
their meaning when spread open is that
the wearer is ready to listen to the commands
of the king. Another singular Corean hat is a
great round mat of straw worn by a monrner
This goes with costume of coarse cloth. The
hat is bound down at the sides SO as to almost
conceal the head and face of the wearer He
carries in his hand a screen or fan. and when in
the road anyone approaches him he holds this
screen in front of him SO that it, together with
the hat, completely cOnceals him. Corcan
who has money to live on and hence does not
have to goto work may spend three or four
years in this unsOciable kind of grief.

Among the Indians of the northwest coast
and the Alaskans there are several forms of
hats. One in the museum from the Aleutian
islands is formed like a round dish or bowl.
Figures are painted on il. and on each side Of
the crown is a bunch of long walrus bristles
IL has on It's top big glass button or bead.
This hat. together with others from the north
west coast. resemble in shape hats worn by
Japanese and Chinese. In fact. they are SO
similar as To suggest that the idea was derived
from the Asiatics. Among the hats from
Alaska Indians are round. conical-shaped head
coverings OF straw, ornamented on top with
several round blocks of wood strung one above
the other. so ~ 10 form q sort of steeple The
number of these blocks denote the rank of the
wearer. Representations of such hats
are frequently seen crowning wooden
figure on top OF totem post
II Is a sort Of Indian stove-pipe hat. An in
teresting hat in the collection Is one brought
from Africa by the Rev. Mr. Gurley. 1t is a
huge hat Of the quaker pattern, with a wide
brim. prOfusely decorated with shells and
feathers. and was worn by king of Dahomey
on state occasions. Pictures represent a Ds-
honey king seated on a low seat wearing hat
like this and holding in his hand long curling
sword This hat was worn, Prof. Mason said
on occasions Of rejoicing. when the king had
three or four hundred subjects beheaded for
his own personal qualification or for popular
delectatiOn. Another African hat is in the
form Of a helmet, woven of PUSHES or straw
having a peaked top and a mask or visor
extending down over the face. There are two
holes or goggles for the eyes. This is a hat
worn by the youth among some African tribes
during certain ceremonies. In Africa one
will ind also many forms of hats that have
come to the interior from the Mediterranean
coast. The mArabout or black priest of Ma
homet who wanders among the African tribes
wears upon his sable head white cap or fez,
such as he expects TO wear in paradise. A life
like figure of one of these priests, white hat and
all, stands on pedestal in the museum. A
Nasal warrior standing near wears little else
than gorgeous fan-shsped headdress of o.
trich plumes and war club made Of rhinoceros
horn.

challenged Brodie, of New York, on Thursday
made the most remarkable leap on record. 1t

The height is 2S5 feet. He selected place
where the water was II feet deep, and, alfred
in silk tights and slippers, leaped into the air,
and doubling up his body like a ball fell to the
water. and moment later bounded to the sur
face, where he was quickly seized by assistants
in the boat. He coughed blood little while,
but soon recovered and took the train for Gin
