kaiser's Working Day.

The superhuman activity of the
kaiser is well known. He looks after
the music, the painting, the literature
and the morals of Germany; but that
is only his diversion, for above all
that he Is the German emperor. AS
kaiser his work falls under three
heads--foreign affairs, home affairs
and the army and navy. The depart
ment which gives him the most work
is that for foreign affairs, for last
year he read 1867 dispatches from
abroad and 341 kilograms, and gave a
personal decision in 91S cases. He
never signs any dispatch without read
ing 1t and generally blue pencils his
remarks in the margin. In this way
many a state paper has been rendered
useless, and it Is calculated that since
the beginning of his reign he has
signed at least 81 900 documents. He
also has q great number of verbal re-
ports made TO him, and 1t Is probably
this oVerwork that renders him so
nervous on occasions, and leads him
to speak out things that he had bet,
ter have confined to his thoughts or
to his confidential correspondence -

ORIGIN OF HAT BANDS.
How the Modern Head Dress Was
Evolved.

Mr. Wlfred Webb, at a meeting Of

From prehistoric drawings it would
appear, he said, that our early an

at the present day clothing was not
first adopted as a protection from the
weather
Just as the 2oologlat learns much
concerning the ancestry Of animals
from The lille features that survive
In their bodily structure, so can the
history OF dress be evolved. Starting
with the hat, II was shown that the
hat band can be traced to a dllet
which held in place II simple piece of
cloth. Sometimes this iiIet was
tied in bow behind, the tails of
which survive in the Scotch cap, the

Buttons on coat sleeves point to a
time when coats We're very costly
and it was customary to turn back the
sleeves so that they should not be

Mr.. Webb also discussed the origin
of the two buttons on the back of the

The possible connection between
