Denoted hY the Hnt.

Discoursing on the subject of hats, an antiquary expressed the opinion that the hat was first used quite as much for decoration as for protection.
 The ancestor of all hats he considers to have been the f1llet or band around the hair worn by the ancient Greeks, amongst others.
 Probably the first hint gained by men regarding head ornaments was through observing the crests, plumes and ant lers of various birds and beasts.
 The Eastern races, with their fond ness for ceremony and display afford the most notable instances of the use of hats as signs of rank and authority Thus in Buddhist countries the gods are represented as wearing elaborate forms of healgear. In Korea the fashion attains its heigia, no fewer than fifty kinds of hats being worn by the natives as indications of their social position.

Canada at g Wheat Granary

COIIIeT-S W ttKIy.
 The outlook in the Canadian north west still promises the greatest wheat crop on record. The prospects are good for a harveset of 100000, 900 bushels, representing not less than TO- 900, ,000 bushels for export. At the same time 1t Is estimated that Russia will raise l40,000,000 bushels less this year than last. Canada has had the unusual and delightful combination of an unpredecented crop and an al most unpredecented price.

Some OverexcIted Cltlaens.

Hartford (Conn.) Courant.
 Some foolish persons-at Philadel- phia and elsewhere-are fierce for "re- taliating on Germany. Have they read the tenth section of the new Ger man tariff act that will be in opera tion bright and early next spring? Under section ten the German gov- ernment could at once. if 1t choose, levy a duty of 50 per cent ad valorem on American goods previously on the free list, while upon dutiable Ameri- can goods it could clap a surtax of 100 per cent of the regular duty, or even a surtax equivalent to the total value of the goods themselves" Of course, that sort of thing wouldn't be very pleasant for the German consum- CTS. But how about the American farmers, manufacturers and export er's end of 1t?
