horses still, and that the sidesadtllc is
not an invention due to the advanced
modcsty of civilization 1t appears that
one Anna of bohemia, eldest daughter
of German emperor and wife of an
English king, introduced the custom,
not from delicate rcpulsion to the old
method, but simply because she was af-
hictcd with some sort of dcformity that
rendered it impossible for her to ride
upon the saddles in common use. In
those days 1t was imperative that n
woman should ride, accordingly the
first sidcsaddlc was invented. Royalty
had then, as now, Snobbish followers
ever on the alert to adopt fashions hon

months every woman of place in Eng

In the higher French classes the Gus

should be celebrated before mayor or
magistrate the day or two before the
religious one, a custom whose origin Is
the desire SO show that they consider tho
religious ceremony alone valid from o
Christian point of view. The young
bride returns to her family ON leaving
the town hall, and only starts for her
wedding journey after the marriage has
taken place in q church, in temple
Us Protestant places of worship arc
callcd-or in o synagogue. This creates
a rather cquivocal situation, says the
New York Commercial Advertiser, for
if, which is rare, but has sometimes
happened, some incident should occur
between the two ceremonies to delay
the second one, the husband and wife
would bc legally married without being
so In fact knew of such n case. On
the night of the civil marriage the hus-
band received u Geographic dispatch
calling him to his mothers bedside,
who was dying, and who lived in for

vented her being present at the we'd
ding. He left, received her last blessing,
and rendered her the last sad rites, and

wife, who was dcvout Catholic, would
not have consented for anything in the

During this interval the husband met

Something That Is Interesting and His
torical About IIcadgcnr.
The wool hat industry is native to the
soil in this country, according to the
New York Sun Away back in colonial
times there was village halter, just as
there was village blacksmith. lie
made hats of felted wool, doubtless in
imitation of patterns brought from the
mother country by the latest immi-
grants Wool fclting, by the way, was,
according to an ancient tradition, the
accidental discovery of the hattcrs' pa
tron saint.
According to the legend the good man,
trudging along dusty highway that
led to his monastery, found his feet
bleeding and blistercd from the gravel
that got into his sandals Not being of
O penitcntinl order, he paused beside q
hedge, picked some wool that passing
sheep had left upon the thorns, and
thrust it into his sandals for greater
case. Then he trudgcd onward, and on
reaching the monastery was surprised
TO find the wool felted into a compact
mass by the constant pounding it had
received from his feet This hint was
enough, and In course of time the flu
turc saint set up as feIter.
From the monastery the trade spread
to 0eighboring villages, and so over
Europe. In course Of time, too, the COL
onists brought it with them to America
Here it flourished in a small way for
moro than century, until the stirring
activity Of Americans led them to cast
about for labor-saving machinery
However, the factory system was not
thoroughly developed in this country
until thirty or thirty-fve years ago.
The factories do practically all the
work now, and all kinds OF hats are
marvelously cheapened- Buffalo Bills
cowboys buy their hats of manufac-
turcr in central NewYorll. and they are
vastly cheaper than those made by
hand in Mexico. Cowboy fancy must
be studied by the manufacturer, and
there is great variety of ornaments
on these hats. One has an enumellcd
leather band about the CROWN; another
an elaborate tinscl owl on the front; an
other stout twisted cord or band,
with tiny baseball dangling from one
end.

Along the Seattle water front the piling has

How Storms and Litigation Have De-
layed Completion Of tho Road

The drst shipment of rails for the Seattle &
Montana is on the way to the Sound, and IL is
only matter OF q week or two when track
laying will begin Once begun, it viii go on
without cessation, for the cribbing Is so nearly
finished that it can be done before the rails
reach the part of the road running along the
shore
The construction of the road has gone forward
much more slowly than was anticipated, for the
contrac. called for the completion of the road
bed by November ], lSSo, and it was ex-
pected that the read would be in OPP
Grafton by January l. Several causes have
delayed work. One OF these was the ne
cessity of condemning right-of-way whers
II was expected that property-owners would
gladly donate it. in order to have the advantage
OF railroad transportation. Another was the
fact that construction was carried on almost en-
tireiy in the wet season. and the damage done by
storms and high tides to the cribbing along the
shore OF the Sound. Before the timSe-s had
been built up out of reach of high water gale
and high tide combined would come up, carry
the waves over the top of the structure and
wash out the bank on the inner side. often car
ryiug the timbess away also.
In order to guard against this, Shepard. Henry
& Co., the contractors, have changed the system
of cribbing. They are now building it of sawed
timbers bolted tightly together. so that the
waves cannot wash the dirt between them
This has been found necessary, as the rcceding
wares would suck the dirt through the smallest
hole or crack between the timbers. A bulwark
Las also been built on the top of the cribbing to
prevent the waves from washing over it.
This work has consumed a vast amount of
lumber and iron. Almost every sawmill in the
neighborhood has been cutting lumber for 1t,
and probably lo,0oo,0 GOO feet viii have been con-
sumed by the time construction is completed
So far $50, 900 pounds OF iron has been used in
construction, and this quantity will be in
creased to at least 100000 pounds. While this

on the Sound, it viii be one of the best con-
structcd and require less expenditure for re-
pairs than those which run inland. The ex-
