ME MEXICAN AND HIS HAT.
Why lie Spends So Much Attention
and Money on His Headgeur.

while on 4 train in Mexico Oh my last
trip to the country of the AZtecs young
American lady upon whose astoniShed
gaze was flashed for the first time the
fearfully and wonderfully made sugar
loaf Mexican hat, which is the first out
of the ordinary object that grcets the
tourists eyes after he crosses the Rio
Grande, asked me why Mexican men Of
all classes spent so much money upon
the covering for their heads and appear
ed to take such evident pride in the great,
wide brmm.d, high, conical crowned
shelter from the tropical heat and sum-
said a hat drummer to a reporter.
The main reason why the Spaniard and
the Mexican devote so much attention.
time and money to their hats is because
it is to some extent made the symbol Of
their standing in the community and be-
cause ii was the grandees of Spain who
Of all others at court possessed the privi-
lege of sitting or standing in the presence
of their sovereign with their hats on
while the rest of the court uncovered.
Naturally the hat became an object of
respect and veneration, and the grandecs
We'd with one another in the size Of their
brain covering, the fncness and costli-
ness of its texture and the rich gold and
silver Communications profusely worked
thereon. The populace, according to
their respective means and position in
life. emulated the example of the gran
dees, and thus as time advanced the big
hat became the distinctive feature of the
dress of the Spaniard, as the mantilla
correspondent on the head of the senorita
and the sonora.
THE time was when a Mexican placed
his hat and his horse before all his world
~ possessions. spending as much as $500
TO 81 900 for a gold trimmed. embroider-
ed hat and as much more for his heavy
saddle and bride all trimmed with silver,
and this passion is strong today. The
higher classes of MeXicans have aban-
doncd the sugar loaf hat for city wear
for the European style. as they have
adopted long ago our ideas on clothes,
though every Mexican gentleman has his
native costume, with its gaudily en-
broidered short jacket and ilaring trou-
scrs and hat to match, to be worn when
the occasion demands.
1.-The other classes cling to the sugar
loaf hat, made principally of straw of a
fiber peculiar to the country or of felt,
ornamented with gold and silver cord, ac-
cording to the means of the wearer, or
perfectly plain and cheap. They look odd

A RED NOSE.
Not Necessarily n Sign That It's Own
err Is Given to Drink.

1t is generally supposed that the most
frequent cause of IA red nose is overin-
diligence in alcoholic beverages, and rum
blossom" is one of the most common and
cruel names applied to it. Through this
misconccption much injustice is done to
many worthy man and woman, who
must suffer not only from personal Dis
iigurcment but also from injury to his
or her reputation.
The disease is known as rosaces, con-
gcstive affection of the skin. 1t attacks
chiefly the nose, but sometimes also the
adjacent portions Of the face, the fore
head and cheeks.
The rcdness increases little by little and
at first comes and goes irregularly. At
this stage it appears after exposure to
cold, after a hearty meal or after drink
ing Il little more than usual.
After awhile the redncss and congestion
persist, being intensified by the causes
just mentioned, but not disappearing in
the intervals. Soon the veins of the nose
or other parts affected become visible MS
fine, wavy lines running through the skin,
and later the skin becomes thickened.
1t is greasy. and little pits, which are
the IluuluS VI tut Oll kltllh huNlS, are
seen dotted over the surface. The sur
face is roughened and uneven, the nose
increases in size and becomes shapeess,
and pimpes of varying size appear more
or less thickly on it.
All these changes do not occur in every
case. and the process may stop at any
one of them. Sometimes a burning is
felt, especially during the periods Of
greatest congestion; but, as a rule, no
abnormal sensation is complained Of.
The trouble begins usually after the age
of 80 or 80 years. but sometimes earlier
and affects women more often than men.
The common causes are some disturbance
of the functions of the stomach. bowels
or liver, due to eating poor or too highly
seasoned food, the abuse Of alcoholic bev-
erages, lack of exercise, and so forth
