It was about this period that the white hat was looked upon as the mark of the reformer, which to many people was only another name for radical,
 There is this curious custom in New York among the stock brokers concern ing white hats. On a certain day mo- tice Is posted in the exchange warning all members that summer is over and that white hats must be discarded. Should member appear wearing the obnoxious tile, it is promptly knocked off his head and kicked out of all shape by these grave and reverend seignors.
 The low-crowned broadbrim of the early part of this century which, throughout the European continent, is more or less associated with the idea of an Englishman, has become immortaliz- ed by the caricatuFists in their em- bodiment of John Bull. It was.followed by bell-crowned hat, much affected by the bloods of the period, and is sugges- tive of punch, pugilisn and all the practical joking so prevalent when George ". was king. This in its turn was replaced by more domestic-look- ing beaver, and from that time the CIliilluGy -pOl Cy llIluGlg luOuSu oubJeGt to some variations in height and breadth, has only been notable in so far as silk has utterly superseded the costly fur of the North American beav- CT.
 So long as it will hold together, hat, be it ever so battered and shapeless, re- tains certain value in the eyes of "old clo" merchants, who purchase these ill-treated cylinders for song, bearing them off to be rejuvenated and resold. The transformation which these cunning manipulators can effect in the mangiest old hat Is something marvel ous. An old hat refreshed at this foun- tain of youth is a thing of beauty, if rot joy forever It bears fine weather well and may figure creditably for three consecutive Sundays. but at the first downpour of rain, glue and gum, paint and silk and brown paper resolve into their original constituents, and the whole fabric collapses like wax in a fire.

Ignorance No Defense.

BY recent decision reported In the
American Lawyer, a person who signs
an instrument without reading 1t,
when he Gun read, cannot, In the alb
sence of fraud, deceit or misrepresenta-
ton, avoid the effect of his signature,
because not informed Of the contents Of
the instrument. The same rule would
apply to one who cannot read, II he
neglects to have 1t read, or to inquire
as to Its contents. This well settled
rule Is based upon the sufficient reason
that in such cases Ignorance Of the con-
tents OF instruments Is attributable to
the party's own negligence But the
rule Is otherwise where the execution
Of an instrument is obtained by "a mis-
representation Of Its contents; where
the party signed paper he did not
know he was signing, and did not real
ly intend to sign. 1t Is immaterial, In
the latter aspect Of the case, that the
party signing had an opportunity to
read the paper, for he may bave been
prevented from doing SO BY the very
fact that he trusted to the truth Of the
representation made by the other party
with whom he was dealing.
