HATS IMPROVE WITH AGE.
Economy in the Purchase of First.
Glass Silk Headoesr.

"A silk hat, like wine, improves
with age" said a clubman. THE Oft
ener you have it ironed the sleeker
and more brilliant it becomes 1t
costs a good deal at the outset, but in
the end it is the cheapest hat to wear.
1t lasts, you see, so long, and to iron
it costs so little-a dime or so. Some
folks think the topper very perish
abe. If it gets soaked with rain, if
some one sits on it and crusAes it in
to an accordion they think it must be
thrown away, the same as if it were
Derby But not at all. A silk hat can
be taken apart and put together again
like watch, and if it gets crushed,
nothing is easier taan to melt off the
silk, straighten out the frame and then
put on the silk again. In England, the
home of this hat, | have known men
to wear the same topper for 10 or 10
years. And the oftener the old hat is
ironed the brighter and finer it shines.
Its luster increases with time and fric-
ton like the luster Of good, antique
larl,ture."

GAMBLING in Rain.

Like the Chinese, the natives of
India are greatly addicted to gambling.
They have, indeed one form of wager
which is peculiar to the country, and
which consists in betting on the
weather. This is called "sutta," and
has one advantage over most forms of
gambling in that there is no possibili-
ty of cheating, since there is NO
chance of controlling the results. The
sportsmen make wagers whether it
will rain or not, and also how much
rain will fall, the latter question being
settled by rain gauges. There is great
excitement on cloudy days. The
gamblers rush to the offices or "dens"
and record their bets with the book
makers. Then, if the expected down.
pour comes, anxious groups assemble
round the rain gauges. Even horse
racing, it is said, has not more fasci-
nation for some Of the gamblers

Use Of Lions Name.

The lions name, like the human
hand, serves distinct use. The lion,
without it, would soon die out. The
jungle is the lions hunting ground
Here he stalks the buffalo and other
such creatures, leaping on their backs
to slay them. They tear madly away,
and in their flight strive to scrape off
the lion against tree trunks and
boughs. But his name protects him.
Without 1t the bumps and knocks he
receives in that wild ride would in.
fallibly make him fall unconscious to
the ground. In fighting his name also
protects the lion, safeguarding his
throat against the longest. sharpest
claws.

Remarkable EIoquence.

Here is part of an actual speech de-
livered in an Indian court of lsw by a
pleader: What they say is very, if not
most, ridiculously absurd to believe.
Indeed, it is incredulous. They say
that the bleed flew, and they did moth
ing to put the wounded into ease, This,
sir, is a lie, an unmitigated lie-or
rather falsehood, or fable, or story
or, as Byron sarcastically observes, a
terminal exactitude. These buffaloes
never used to Craze on the field, which
is not actually even proper grazing
meadow, The destination which they
started was half mile from the Gym
osure to which they went Unless they
did not ride on lightning horses, how
could they reach to that premises in
five minutes? Can any man,-idiot
even-will not believe such a stupid
concoctation."

A flag is no more to De classcd as

Bunker Iiill coui be classed as a
chunk of steel. Memories, traditions,
ideals, loyalty, patriotism are not I'M
real because they cannot be measured
with a yardstick or weighed on the
scales Of coal yard. Legally to the
flag is a force as real and far more
permanent than the great lifting crane
of the navy yard. Patriotism will move
