Before the invention of wigs the hat
was rarely removed except to salute
others, especially royal pcrsonagcS. 1t
was worn at table when ladies or per-
sons of rank were present. Except
when saluting royalty it was the Gus
tom merely TO raise the hand to the hat
somewhat after the manner of mill
tary salute. When it became the mode
to wear a profuSion of false hair, the
hat was less needed as a protection for
the head and was carried under the
arm

Cents East and West.

"Thcrc is always Il scarcity Of pen

the Philadelphia mint. "and a super
abundance of them In the east. Every
little while the banks out there set up
hOot and cry for pennies, but our
banks here are ever glad to rid them
selves of their surpluSagc in these
coins 1t is difficult to see why such q
state of things should be. I'm sure Il
penny is just as dear TO the eastern
er'S heart as to the wCStcrncr'S. one
would no more throw a penny away
than would the other. yet here we al
ways have too many pennies. There
they never seem to have enough"

The art of properly buttoninG coat
any COATS do it the other way
that IS to say that min" out of every
ten of lis button our coats the wrong
way. We commence with the tOpm0St
button when we should commence with
the bottom one. The frailcSt portion
of Il coat in respect to shape retaining
qualities. no matter how we'll made, is
the region of collar and lapclS. The
SwaGgcr merchant tailor always eau
tiOnS his customer to "Wcar it buttOncd
few days. so that the collar may set
properly" Then, this admitted, it fol
lows that tugs and strains affecting
this part of the garment tend to de
stroy its symmetry. Drawing the coat
together by the top button and button
hole for the purpose of fastening OK
erts pull all around the shoulders and
neck region. which by repetition in
time will give the smartest coat a hang
dog appearance.

Marketing Cotton Cro2s-EnnbIed
Producers to Successfully Fight
Railroad Transportation Rates.
The building of turnpikcS, which has
been active only of late years over the
entire southern portion of the United
States and which has brought about
much improved roads for public con.
vcyancc in all sections and notably in
the territory Immediately contiguous To
Memphis, has resulted in the planters
and country merchants sending in Il
much larger percentage of their cotton
on their wagons instead of turning it
over to the railroads for transportation,
says the Memphis Scimitar.
There is nothing that is so beneficial
to the planters at the south as good
roads for the easy marketing of their
produce. and the farmers within Il IA
diuS of 80 to 40 miles of Memphis have
learned that these roads represent Il
great deal of saving to them on their
BILE for them to send their cotton into
the city without too much strain on
their teams and without too much wear
and tear on their wagons. At the same
time it is n reasonable proposition that
since the roads have been improved as
they have the planters and the mer-
chants in the small towns who wish

For sunburn, bathing at night with
a cold infusion of cucumbcrs cut up in

lghtfully refreshing, easily made and
