Barristers' Wigs.

The most recent portion of a junior bar
rister's attire is the wig and has been add
ed in comparatively modern times In the
time of Charles III, when wigs were first
introduced from abroad, the military men
and barristers helped to set the fashion in
all questions of male attire They wore
wigs in court varying with the fashions of
the hour, as long as wigs were worn, and
when the rest of the world gave them up
at the end of the last century barristers
retained them and still do so rs u distinc-
tive part of legal costume. In 1866 petit
ton was presented to King George III by
the master peruke makers, alleging that
their trade was falling off, as wigs were
going out of fashion, and that but for the
"counselors'' (the old name for barristers)
they would soon have no customers. They
prayed his majesty to devise some relief.
The king returned gracious answer.
Some wag, however, struck by the ludi-
crous side of the petition, published a boz
gus petition from the body carpenters i'm
ploring his majesty to wear a wooden leg
and to enjoin all his servants to appear In
the royal presence with the same graceful
decoration. The wigs now In use at the
bar are chiefly made of goats hair, and are
ornalnented with three rows of little curls
going round the head and closely fastened
to the main structure and two little tails
behind, falling little below the collar.
Until 80 years ago nearly all the bar wigs
were pomatumed and powdered, but this
fashion, for obvious reasons has gradual
ly declined, and only very few now favor
it.-Pall Mall Gazette

eNvlRoNs OF MuscAr.
Region of Horrible Smells, Fever Germs
and Swarms of Flies.


The environs Of Muscat are especially
interesting AS soon as you issue out OF
either of the TWO gates which arc con-
structed In the wall which shuts tho town
off from the outer world you plunge at
once into new and varied life. Just out
side the walls Is the fish and provision
market, reeking with horrible smells and
alive with flies; hard by Is a stagnant pool
into which is cast all the offal and filth OF
this disgusting market. The water in tho
pool looks quite putrid, and when the
wind comes from this quarter no wonder
IL Is laden with fever germs and mephitic
vapors. Consequently Musoat Is most
unhealthy place, especially when the at
mosphere Is damp and rain has fallen to
stir up the debris.
Outside the walls the sultan Is In the
habit of distributing two meals day to
the INDECENT poor, and, inasmuch as the
Omanee are by nature prone to laziness,
there is but little doubt that his highness
liberality Is greatly imposed upon.
AS you emerge, not unwillingly, from
this region of flies and smells, you come
across series of villages built of reeds
and palm branches and inhabited by men,
bers of the numerous nationalities who
como to Muscat in search of livelihood.
Most of these are Bellooohees from the Mex
ran coast and Africans from the neighbor-
hood of Zanzibar. The general appearance
of these villages is highly picturesque, but
squalid. Here and there palm trees, al.
mond trees and the ubiquitous camel thorn
are seen interspersed among the houses
women In red and yellow garments, with
turquoise rings In their ears and noses,
peep at you furtively from behind their
flimsy doors, and as you proceed up the
valley you find several towers constructed
to protect the gardens from Bedouin incur
sions, and few comfortable little villas
built by Banyan merchants, where they
can retire from the heat and dust Of Mus
cat.
The gardens are oil cultivated by irriga.
ton and look surprisingly green and deli
cious In contrast with the barren, arid
rocks which surround them. The wells are
dug deep in the center of the valley in the
bed of what elsewhere would be river
and are worked by running slope and
bullocks, which draw up and down Skin
buckets; these empty themselves automat'
ically into tanks connected with the chan
nels which convey tho water to the gardens

"SOUL OF THE ARMY"
Antonio Jose de sucre's Services In Aid
of Venezuelan Liberty.

Antonio Jose de sucre's Services In Aid
of Venezuelan Liberty.
Antonio Jose de Sucre was called by
Bolivar "Soul of the Army" and to his
prowess as fighter the liberator owed
much of his success. He was born In Ven
ezuela in 1898. At the beginning of the
country's struggle for independence he
served on the personal staff of General Mi
randa. Then Miranda's star sank. Sucre
joined Bolivar in 1914. Bolivar sent him
to the West Indies for aid for the revolu-
tionists and by pledging his personal cred
it he secured u large quantity of ammuni-
ton and 10, 900 stand of arms. He was the
hero of the battle of Piohincha, which end
ed Spanish rule in Ecuador.
He marched with Bolivar across the An
DIES, and it was his daring spirit and great
generalship that brought success to that
remarkable expedition. With $500 men
he met and defeated the Spanish with 9, 300
men on the plateau of Ayacuoho, captur-
ing the Spanish viceroy and breaking
Spanish rule in Peru. When the upper
Peruvian provinces formed the state of
Bolivia, Sucre was placed at the head of
government, and it was at his request that
Bolivar promulgated his code. He COM
manded the Ecuador troops in the war
with Peru and defeated the invaders.
He retired to private life in 1929, but
was elected president of the Colombian
congress in 1880. Returning to his home
when congress adjourned, he was shot
from ambush and killed. His death was,
no doubt, the work of his political enc
mics. His remains lie In the Church of
San Francisco, in Quito, although the gov
ernments of Venezuela and Bolivia have
each asked the honor of caring for his
dust.-New York Mail and Express.

Power of the Sum. Heat.

Architects and builders have long been
aware of the fact that bridges and build
ings of all kinds expand in summer and
contract in winter, but no scientific OBJ
servations were ever made on that score
until quite recently. Experiments made on
tall monuments i'm both this country and
Europe during tho heat of the past sum
mer show that the perpendicularity OF
such structures is badly affected 10y the
rays of the sun. At one time the Washing
ton monument was found to lean nine
inches out of plumb. This popularity, 1t
was said, was due TO the greater expansion
of the side upon which the suns rays fell.

Timely Topics
BIRD CAGES, TROPICAL
FRUITS, ETC.

Everyone knows that a bird
in the hand is worth two in
the bush and this is particu-
larly the case when the bird is
a pet canary and a good singer.
Nice birds should be kept in
nice cages and then they will
have no desire to take to the
bushes. We have just opened
up q variety of Bird Cages in
painted wire at $3.50 to $3.50;
and in brass $50 to $3.50; in
the prettieSt and newest de-
signs imaginable.
The mango season is now
on in all its force and the small
boy is engaged in his yearly
tussle with that luscious fruit.
In former years for every
mango fit to eat the boy
knocked down with rock he
destroyed eight or ten unripe
ones besides half running the
tree. All this is changed now
since the introduction of our
Wire Fruit Pickers. With one
of these attached to a long pole
any particular mango can be
plucked without hurting the
tree or knocking off the unripe
fruit. By using one of these
handy pickers one gets several
times more fruit in better con-
dition than by the old way of
firing rocks at the tree. They
cost only SO cents each and a
child can use them.

The attention of the public is
now fully occupied and diverted
in the consideration and discus
sion of several important current
and prospective happenings. An
nexation, as yet insecure, Re-
ciprocity threatened; the coming
of the Naniwa, and her mission
after arrival; the outcome of the
war between Greece and Turkey
and, whether or no, all Europe
will eventually become involved;
the settlement of the quarantine
squabble-are all themes of much
conjecture and uncertainty, and
while opinions are freely offered,
none can accurately foretell the
outcome of any of these matters.
Nevertheless, it is becoming more
apparent, as each day passes, that
Buffalo and Hoffbrau are the
favorite brews, and it is crafty
ing that assurance is given that
regular shipments of these whole
some and strengthening bever-
ages can be depended upon, and
that thsy will, as heretofore, be
dispensed at the Royal, Pacific
and Cosmopolitan Saloons, and
that the interchangeable check
system is an established fact. y

CHEAP KINDNESS.

Charity that is cheap is not
always the least acceptable. In
deed, what costs us little, to make
the unfortunate happy, may like.
ly be more esteemed by the bene-
ficiaries than greater sacrifices,
fol- the reason that it involves
lighter tax on the sense of obliga-
ton. Visitors to Molokai the
other day found that the sick folk
there, although having few and
slight complaints to utter, would
have their hours greatly cheered
il the people of Honolulu thought
oftener to send them reading
matter. Poor old Jack Lewis,
sitting in his cottage door by the
wayside, turned his sightless eyes
in the direction of a friendly hail
and spoke the desires of his heart.
He exacted promise from the
president of the Board OF Health
to have stone fence built to pro.
tect his lowly cot, and then he ad.
iured the visitors to send him
some papers now and again. "My
boy is dead" he said in an
swer to remark, "but the
little girl can read to me-"
Many people in Honolulu have
old magazines and illustrated
papers that they will never make
any use of, and which would be
highly appreciated by the denizens
of Kalaupapa and Kalawao. For
eigu newspapers not too ancient,
with the local papers, would also
be eagerly welcomed. Parcels of
reading matter for Kalaupapa
may be sent to the reading room
there, or in care of the storekeeper
at the landing, and for Kalawao
to the Christian Brothers in
charge of the Baldwin Home.
This is one of the easiest ways
that can be imagined for sending
rays of enjoyment into lives that
have little happiness left to them
in this world.
