KING EDWARD AND MS HATS.
Fashions In Mems headsear ior Which Ne
Receives the Credit.

If King Edward VII never devised
another fashion he has done his duty
by the hat makers. for at least seven
styles Of hats are said to have been
worn first by him while it is certain
that he has invented or created two or
three.
He has frequently had the credit OF
creating fashions which had in reality
existed in more or less obscure man
ner for some time previous to their
adoption by him. 1t is true that he
has not been able always TO give vogue
to a style. He once wore a kind of
Welch sugar-Ioaf hat which lasted for
only few months and was never TAX
en- up to any extent even by those
most eager to initiate the royal head
gear. On the other hand men Of dis
tinction in life and fashions have worn
hats of "A style that never adorned the
head Of the present King.
He has. however. created in the full
sense of the word certain fashions that
have survived and foremost Gmong
these is the low crowned silk hat.
which in the history Of fashions viii
always be associated with his name.
His fidelity to this style Of headdress
has been remarka BILE. He clung to il
when on the sands OF Egypt Said
Pasha received him and he wore il
while going down the rapids Of the ST,
Lawrence river He always wore at
Goodwood until two years ago the
black instead of the white top hat.
When he finally changed to the cooler
color his example was followed with
enthusiasm by the class that waited
the imitation of the styles from him.
II was King Edward who substituted
for the silk galloon that formerly sur-
rounded the silk hat the band of clotf
now in use by all well dressed men.
The habit of ClinginS to ones hat al
all times in Uublic is another practice f"l
which the King is responsible. The soft
1i"mburg hat was Introduced into Eng
land and made popular by the King am

fashions of men in England although II

to the straw hat is founded on the fac'
that he has never had one that was be

Another native style that he did miCf

the year ending June so. 1900, as shown
by the annual reports of railways. was
year of 53,6SS,7 722. The number of tons
of freight carried during the year was
!, ,1O1 ,6SO23S, an increase of 1i1 ,916, ,6J5
being shown. These totals, almost too
stupendous to be graspcd. give some
idea of our great and increasing ma
tional prosperity. and of the vast work
done by our American railroad sys-
TENS. which are in their conception and
operation one of the greatest of the
new worlds triumphs.

The Hot Wave.

The prairies Of Kansas are so dry
in the grass. while in the Illinois corn
fields the heat is causing the corn to
pep. Up in Michigan the lead is melt
ing in the mines: in Wisconsin the fish
boiling in the lakes: and Missouri is
worrying for fear it won't recover from
it's prostratiOn in time to open the St
Louis Exposition. In Ohio all ther-
mometers are abolished by special
Gubernatorial proclamation. In New
York nobody is really busy except old
Sol and the undertakers. 1t is surely
starting in for record breaking sum-
lner for intense torridity all over the
country. The first hot wave of three
weeks ago was bad enough: for in
over 1000 deaths directly due to the
heat. but the present hot wave seems
to cover more area and to push the
mercury near the top of the tube and
the temper of the people nearer the
distra ction point. Even here in Maine.
cool. breezy. delightful Maine. the
summer paradise and the playground
of the nation, we are having quite Il
warm spell of our own. In fact. some
radicals insist that we are boiling and
sizzling under the very hottest hot
wave known in years. But this section
gets off easy in comparison with the
great cities and the West. There is
relief is close at hand. In the mean
while. keep away from the ice water
tank and the thermometer.

Increase oi Postage Stamps.

One Of the most interesting facts re-
vealed by the figures Of postal business
is the manner in which issues Of post
age stamps have outrun the growth Of
population. The series of inventions
which have prompted prompt COM
munication have been an almost ncces-
sary supplement to the equipment of
the civilized world with railways and
ample resources of transferable capi-
tai in meeting modern economic condi-
tiors In Great Britain and the United
States the use of the mails doubled
within the twenty years which closed
the nineteenth century. The number
of letters delivered in the United King
dom of Great Britain and Ireland rose
from 1.1S5. 900. 900 in the fiscal year 1881
to 2.246. 100000 in 1900. The average
number per capita rose in the mean
time by more than 50 per cent, from "a
to 55. The number of newspapers and
packets delivered Increased by more
than 13O per cent. from 364.0O00O0 in
1881 to S66 20O, 900 in 1899. In the United
States an exact account is not kept of
the number of pieces Of mail matter
handled. but an illustration of the
progress made is afforded by the num-
ber of postage stamps and other pieces
of stamped paper sold at the post
offices as above set forth. The number
of pieces Of stamped paper thus issued
was |. .490. 133. 49S in 1881. representing
a face value Of $34, 4,4S3.50 The amount
substantially doubled in 1890. when the
number Of pieces was 3.1S3, .33S, and
their value was $50. 9.45S.054. and nearly
trcbled for the fiscal year 1900. when
the number of pieces was 6,23S.6S7 .0l0,
and the face value was $91 $40 S91.
Thus within nineteen years. with an
increase of about 80 per cent in popu-
lation. there was an increase of nearly
200 per cent. in the postal expenditure
of the people. and their per capita
postal expenditures rose from about
20 cents to $l.3c.-Correspondeac

A strange story with cooling and re-
haven citizen. a man who word is as
good as his bond On the morning Of
July IL he arose early and at about A
O'Clock went into his field to NOV. The
grass was wet with dew and the air
was crisp and cool. but not cold enough
for the forming of ice or frost He
had moved but few minutes when he
thought it best to whet the scythe. In
doing so he Srasped the sneth OF the
scythc and to his surprise found it
covered by a thin coat of ice for about
Il foot from the end where the scythe
is fastened on to the sneth. He
rubbed off the ice with his hand and re-
sumed moving. After moving for ten
or fifteen minutes he found the sneth
again ice coated. He removed the ice
and proceeded with his work and the
third time the ice appeared. He can
in no way account for this, unless it
WAS caused by the rapid motion Of
the scythe as it swung through the
cool morning air. causing rapid
evaporation. o. perhaps there was a
cola current of salt air drawing in off
water. as his field is situated near the
waters of Pcnobscot bay. He thinks
ii due in part to some chemical action
caused by the salt on the grass ana
evaporation is probably the cause Of
this unusual appearance of ice in July.
Further than this he can not account
FOR the phenomenon and would be
pleased II some scientific person would
give him some explanation.
