Fashions in women's headgear come
and 60 in regular cycles, but there is
one class OF women in this country
who stick to one kind Of hat through
the summer season year after year,
with never q thought to the prevailing
fashions in other circles of society.
These are the "canalers," who invaria-
bly, are seen in the sunbonnets, no
matter what part of the country their
homes are afloat in. Considering that
most of the time they live under the
awnings suspended over their cabin
homes, one would scarcely think all
this shade was necessary. But they
stick to their favorte hats, neverthe-
less. 1t is a curiosity of the taste in
headgear of the women who spend
their lives working as cooks on the YES
sells of the great lakes that one rarely
sees n sunbonnet among them, and yet
awnings on these craft are seldom
used But that is only another evil
dence of the fact of what variety there
is among the eternal feminine.-New

The Word "NIce."

Nice" is one of the exceptional
words which have risen on the scale
and improved with age. 1t is from the
Latin "nescus' and originally signi-
fed ignorant. TO Chaucer it regularly
meant foolish--"wise and nothing
nice" In Sponsors time 1t still meant
effeminate. From general foolishness
there was probably first Il specializa-
ton TO foolish fussiness about tribes.
Then the idea of ignorance dropped
out, and the word meant particular
about details. accurate. 1t was credit
able to be a mice" observer or to
show mice" judgment. And so In the
end the positively agreeable meaning
of today was evolved.

A Legend of AgincOurt.

For many centuries we English have
plumed ourselves upon the victory of
Agincourt Inaeed it Is from King
Henry VS. address to his soldiers Oh
that occasion, as given by Shake
speare. that the motto of this journal
is taken, Familiar in their mouths as
household words" But the French
have an account of the affair not so
much to our credit. 1t was arranged,
according to this fable, by the two
leaders that only the mobiles on each
side were to fight. King Henry V.
then artfully ennobled his whole army
and hence got the best of the enemy.
Shakespeare unwittingiy gives little
countenance to the legend when he
makes the king declare in the above
mentioned address. BE ye ne'er SO
