Ruxinr an Election.

In bygone days men were often IN
willing to be made members Of the
British house of commons. 1t was cost
" and therefore difficult position for
a poor man. but ut the same time rep
resentativcs were not easily to be
found among the we'll to do classes.
There is an amusing account OF how
the sheriff rode up to the county court
in the fourteenth century. ready to
nominate candidate. A gay knight,
fearful Of election, hastily withdraws
from the crowd at the words election
and parliament and spurreth off as fast
as his good horse may carry him." On
the other hand. some sought election by
any means, and the first instance Of
corruption in electioneering matters Is
said to be that Of Thomas Long, In
1871, who, being found to be very
simple man and not fit to serve in that
place. was questioned how he came to
be elected" The simple man admitted
that he gave to Anthony Garland,
mayor Of the town, "a $50 for his
seat in parliament" which was ordered
to be returned, though the seat was not
forfeited.

Wearing Last Years Hats.

The season has come round again,
when you get out your last years hats,
look at them critically, put them away
for few days against the time whom the
last straw must 60, and wonder whether
pride, family and personal, will allow of
another season of shelter under that
brown toque. Again you take out the
box, this time you ask the advice of
friends. These Jobs comforters toll you
that it looks very we'll, but has dis
tinctly last years curve at the back.
You finger the ribbon and stroke down
the plume; it really is beauty, an ex-
travagance only committed because you
had argued your conscience into silence
by that old 'gag" about hat lasting
two seasons. Finally you put it away,
on top of the year before's walking hat
that you had worn last winter, and 60
forth to buy new one. This meets the
approval Of the most critical, and lasts
through that trying time when every
ones hat is new, and yours must also be,
in order to cope at all with shining
rivals. After that trying era has passed,
however, out comes last years toque and
il much admired. No one notices that
the curve at the back is not the latest,
and the chances are that you will get
more wear out Of the once scorned
chapeau than you did last year, while
the new shape awaits its second season
to develop It's real character, and call
forth the number Of compliments due it.
In this it is akin to genius, to which time
alone brings recognition. Even the
walking hat of the year before last sp-
pears as now il brought ont at that sea-
SON, when everyone is accustomed to
everyone's else hesdgear. There Ii really
moro in managing ones millinery depart
ment with dexterity than in investing
in expensive hats.-Cor. In New Idea.

Exerci.c For Rusiness Men.


The average city business man with
out physical impediments to fight
against can probably get along success
fully on such an exercise schedule as
the following:
First-Five minutes each day OF
purely muscular exercise, such as can
be taken perfectly well in ones room
without any special apparatus.
Second.-ShOrt intervals during the
day of fresh air. brisk walking, deep
breathing. This can all be secured in
the regular order OF the days business.
A man can easily spend as much as
half an hour walking out Of doors
every day. This Is for heart, lungs
and digestion.
Third.-The reservation Of at least
one day week for rest and recreation,
for being out Of doors, for playing
games, etc. This is essential. This Is
for both body and mind. A man who
thinks he can get along without at
least one vacation time week simply
proves his ignorance.-World's Work.
