Two Chu1ns on a Throne

Not until Nicholas II went to Paris in
the summer of 1896 had he ever had a dress
coat In his wardrobe. His majesty's cere-
monlous toilets consisted of elaborate uni
forms. with nary a claw-hammer coat in
the lot. But etiquette demanded an evening
coat President Faure could not wear any
thing else, and the car was forced to ad-
nit he was baffled by matter of dress.
and as gracefully as possible the situation
was accepted. He sent for the court tailor
and demanded a dress coat In the latest
Partisan fashion. This parsonage could
cut emperors uniforms, but the evening
coat was beyond his genius What to do?
Why, being tailor Of expedients. he sent
to Paris to find out the latest fashions in
dress suits. A few days afterward his mes
scnger returned to st. Petersburg, and two
weeks later the suit was ready. 1t cost
100 rubles, but that was Of no consequence.
for 1t fitted the emperor like a glove, and
the empress said Nicky had never looked
SO well In his life as in 1t. Women who
take an interest in their husbands ward
robes always do say that of the dress suit.
But Nicholas II and his Alexandra-Feo-
dorovna are like two chums, and In st.

on the throne of Russia a couple so we'll
mated and SO completely happy.-Boston

WAR AND HATS
How Our Hostilities Have Effected
Headgear


1.-The war will have one good effect" said
the dealer in headgear. ut will popularize
the army hat Six months from now you
will see any number of fellows who were
not at the front and could not have been
hired to go to the front, wearing the soft
brown notwithstanding hats that have
been the campaign covering of our sold
iers for many moons. 1 said 1t would be a
good thing, because these are good hats
and sensible hats. and are moreover becom-
ing to almost any styie of masculine face.
Indeed they look we'll on either of the sexes
They are not expensive when the amount
of wear that may be got cut of them Is
taken into consideration. They stand the
weather we'll. They are especially desira-
BILE in winter, because they protect the
face and head. They are warm. They can
be knocked, about without roughing their
texture or injuring their shape We all
know what the hard hat looks like when II
has been subjected to few blows. The
plug hat ruffles It's fur and exhibits all
the characteristics of en- angered cat on the
smallest provocation. The army hat Is de-
pendable and neat. Furthermore, 1t is very
'dressy.' There is nothing more stylish or
Of more attractive appearance when 1t Is
worn with black Prince Albert coat. 1t
makes the distinguished man more dis
tinguished, and the common man Is apoth-
eosized by 1t to a remarkable extent. When
the boys get back from the front you will
see the army hat everywhere. This is a
nation of soldiers, and the men all like
soldiers, even though they do not all en-

SNAKE DECORATED MAIDENs

For the most part the Pacific Islands are
destitute Of snakes. That is absolutely
the case In Hawoii, according to the New
York Sun.
In New Zealand. equally free of these
reptiles, the only knowledge which the
Maoris had Of snakes may be found in the
legend of q monster called the taniwha,
concerning which authorities differ as to
whether it is the ancestral and dim recol-
lection of a snake or of an alligator.
All the eastern islands of Polynesia, be-
tween these two outposts are snakeless.
Westward from Hawaii, down among the
Gilberts and the Marshalls and the Caro-
lines, the square-bodied water snake be-
gins to make its appearance in the lagoons
and harbors. BY the time the Philippines
are reached, the water snake becomes both
common and deadly, and the jungles of
those Islands are abundantly supplied with
snakes.
From the Philippines, as one follows
down the chain of Islands, snakes are
found both abundant and venomous. In
the wild lands of the western Pacific the
reptiles are frequently objects of worship
and in some legends are credited with the
creation of the world.
Samoa seems to lie just on the boundary
lire of snakes in the Pacific. In the east
ern islands of the archipelago no snakes
are to be found; in Upolu a few are seen at
rare intervals. In Savan only few miles
| to the westward, they are common and at
tain great size, in the case of some kinds at
| least. None of them are venomous and the
islanders neither fear them nor exhibit
any of that repugnance to their presence
which Is commonly called instructive
This Indifference to the reptiles is made
most markedly manifest at the hamlet of
Iva, on the northeast coast of Savaii. Here
are to be found small snakes of a most
brilliant red color. They are so common
that basketful may be easily picked up
in any banana patch. The dancing girls
OF this town are In the habi of employing
these gaudy snakes for personal adorn-
ment In their dances. They tie them about
their necis, their ankles and their wrists,
they festoon them in their head-dresses
and tuck few extra ones in the belt in
readiness to replace such as escape in the
dance. At their best these sivas danced
by the Samoans are either dull or revolving
shows Of savagery. It can be easily mag
ined that they are made no more attractive
when the taupou or village maid and her
crew Of attendant girls go careering about
with an assortment Of writhing red snakes.
Still the Samoans, who have no stock of
snake prejudice, look upon this as one of
the most successful and artistic dances IN
their islands.
