THE MALE OPERA HAT.

Why 1t Rises Superior to Any Passing
Fashion Dictates.
Men generally protest against the
changes of style in hats, and one of
the sex has written to the New York
Mail this complaint:
Why attack rs Il "collapsible, many
named pretender" the opera hat, or
chapeau dc claque?
l have such Il hat and also silk hat,
in which respect I think differ from
most Gothamites. Whenever l have
an option wear the opera rather than
the other. It's more convenient.
AT the theater or opera you can car
ry it better on your between the acts
promenades. If there is no rack for
1t in your overcoat and put it on the
floor under you without destroying ii,
as You would do with Il silk hat.
If you put your hat in the rack UNI
der your seat and then rise and stand
close to it to permit late conner IN
pass an opera hat suffers no damage.
A silk hat would be either rutlled or
crushed.
The opera hat looks as well at all
times as the silk hat and requires
much less care. Indeed, I think il
looks better The glossy surface of Il
silk hat. like the glossy bosom of u
stiff white shirt. is an uncomfortable
survival of the time when men wore
polished helmets and breastplates.
There is so much reason in the opera
hat that men of discrimination will
continue to wear it. the style of the
moment regardless.

NO SENSE OF HUMoR.
A Scientists Criticism of Comic
Book For Children,


Charles Monselet. Frenchman of

dictionary" for the benefit of children,
who found no Lite amusement in his
odd accounts of things in the animal
world which Were perfectly familiar
to Them but which were described in Il
rather fantastic way in NJ MonseletYs
book
The editor of Il certain scientific jour
nal, however, WAS mach surprised ana
shocked ut NJ Monseiet's Ignorance
when he took up III. book. and he
wrote an article about ii in his paper.
which ran as follows:
"A certain NJ. Monselet has publish
ed Il dictionary for the use of children,
which contains definitions showing the
most extraordinary Ignorance, such as
the following:
.Sardine-A little fish without any
head which lives in OIL
"As if fish could live without II
head and in oil!
Another definition:
"'Parrot-A bird somewhat reseEi-
bling the pigeon, generally green WHEN
II is not red or yellow or blue. Cocka
toos sometimes live to be Il hundrs:
years old, except when they are stul-
ed, and then there is no limit TO IL.
length of their life.'
Now. it happens that the parrot h

he jumps up on his cushion or starts

Now that you are reminded you can

many times, can't you? This habit is
about all flat is left to our tame little
doggies of the days long ago, when
they We're Il race of wild animals and
lived in the woods. Their beds then
were matted grass and leaves, and it
was to trhmple enough grass and prop

today keeps up the same old habit, III

it. and of course the animal has no

A SOURCE Of DISEASE.
Beware the Man Who Blows Smoke
Through His Nostrils,


Through His Nostrils.
A popular practice of many smokers
consists in discharging the smoke in
hailed. especially from cigarettes,
through the nostrils. This is even
considered by some to be essential to
the full enjoyment of the flavor of the
tobacco.
The London Lancet, while acknowl-
edging that perhaps under ordinary
circumstances no harm is done to the
smoker save to his sense of smell, has
sounded note of warning against the
habit us a possible dissemination of dis
ease. Hay fever and other annoying
complaints have been spread through
unsuspecting households by the un-
thinking visitor who habitually blew
smoke through his nose.
The surslce traversed by the tobacco
smoke before issuing from the nose, 1t
is remarked by the Lancet, is mols-
tened with the natural secretion of the
mucous membrane lining it, and this
secretion is mingled with the fluid dis
charged from the conjunctival sac pro.
tecting the eyes. 1t therefore contains
numerous micro organisms, which,
floating in the air, have become attach
ed to the moist and stick surface Of
the conjunctiva, as well as those which
pass over the surface of the nasal
membrane. AS Tyndall long ago show
ed, germs are completely filtered off
from the air inhaled by the extensive
and irregular surfaces presented by
the turbinal bones. These germs are
carried into the air by the man who
blows smoke through his nostrls.
