HORSES WEAR HATS HERE.


Horses with hats are common
sight about the streets of the city
these days. The hats are of straw,
of course, with high crowns and broad
brims, in which are two good sized
holes through which the animals ears
protrude. Sponges are generally
placed in the crowns and dampened
in order to keep the horses heads cool
The hats are tied on. The equine
sunbonnet lends a new significance
to the phrase "I'll eat my hat" Per-
haps it is the suggestion of this idea
that has something to do with the
firmness with which every driver ties
the bonnet on his horse,
The animals for the most part, ap-
pear to carry their headgear without
any display of self-consciousness, and
trot along unconcernedly with the
bonnets shaking in the breeze Some
sneak along shamefacedly with their
ears laid back along the brim, as il
this new-fangled finery was not ex-
actly welcome to them. Others have
been observed to look with some
thing like contempt on their un-
capped brothers and sisters. whose
compilations are undefended from the
sun. An east side iceman, whose
team wore the new headgear, alleged
this morning that his mare invari-
ably grew restless and threatened to
bolt unless her headgear was set
straight. This statement, if it be
true. is not without psychological
value.
In Washington the Humane society.
after some agitation of the subject of
horse hats, has announced that a
number of the straws in the latest
style are being made under the au-
spices of the society, and will be dis
tributed among the hack drivers of
the capital. to be used for their steeds.

The Growth of Horticulture.

1t is said that in the state of Con.
necticut there are more than 100000
feet of glass devoted wholly to the
growing of flowers for commercial
purposes, and doubtless similarly
good showing could be made in other
states. Yet not so many years ago
flowers were looked upon as an ex-
pensixe luxury that, for some curious
reason, whimsical rich people liked to
have. Indeed, it is not too much to
say that the average American of a
generation ago would have been rath
er ashamed to avow openly any lik-
ing for flowers. Such taste would
have been looked upon as mark of
effeminacy, to be ridiculed, if not con-
demned. But today the appreciation
of flowers is general and the amount
of money invested in their cultivation
is in the aggregate enormous. But the
commercial side of the question is,
after all, subsidiary. The growing
love for flowers misdirected though
it sometimes is, indicates an increas-
ing sympathy with the beauty and
Of nature that Americans have
lacked hitherto, perhaps because ma
ture was the first and greatest OBJ
stacle they encountered in their early
pioneer life. Similarly, Americans
used to feel somewhat ashamed to
confess that they were from the coun-
try, because. from the point of view Of
the pioneer settler, the city repre-
sented civilization, while the country
stood for struggle, privation and, per-
haps poverty. Happily. however that
provincial view is passing away with
the growth Of higher culture and
keener understanding of the beauties
of nature.-New York Tribune.

How to Enter Politics,

If you want to be a politician, the
first thing to do is to get into the push,
or at least create the impression that
you are in. When there is a conven-
ton, if you can't work in as dele
gate, you can at least get into the
crowd in the hotel lobby, and if you
carry ourself in shape you can make
the stranger who is within the gates Of
the city believe you are not only adele
gate, but one of the steering commit
tee. Keep busy. Take at least eight or
ten men off to one side in the course Of
the evening for private conversation.
There is quite a good deal in making
people believe you are cutting a good
many lemons, whether you are or not.
1t Is good idea to be seen often on
the corner talking with some promi-
nent candidate. You can arrange this
If you have the proper amount of gall.
You may not have anything to tell
him, but then you will be seen in con-
sultation, and you will make some par
ties who don't know you very well
think that there must be hen on. But,
above all else, cultivate your gall. If
you can get some reporter to inter-
view you on the political situation,
that will be good scheme. The news
papers can make reputation fer al
most any sort of man.-Topeka Mail
and Breeze.

Emersons dictum that we should
treat every one as if he were all he
ought to be is an excellent rule to
pratice in daily life. 1t is human ma
ture to rise to the level that is ex-
pected of 1t, 1t Is not necessary to
waste time upon uncongenial people
unless you are bound to them by
strong family ties; but it is important
that all with whom you come in con-
tact be studied with the desire on
your part to give credit for all that
is good in them, and that nothing in
their outward circumstances or ap-
pearance be allowed to prejudice you
against them.-Ada C. Sweet, in the
Woman's Home Companion.
