One of the exciting features of the con-
the forcible and affective speech of Rev.
C. Ernest Smith. rector of st. Thomas
Church. in seconding the nomination OF
Bishop Brent. He had declared that
Bishop Satterlee had expressed the wish
that Bishop Brent might follow him. This
made a deep impression on the conven-
ton delegates and as soon as the rector
was seated. Rev. E. NJ. Mott asked If Dr.
Smith wished the convention to under
stand that Bishop satterlee desired
Bishop Brent as his successor.
1T is common repute all over the do
cese that Bishop Satterlee made such a
statement on several occasions" declared
Dr. Smith.

When the result of the first ballot was
announced and it was seen that Bishop
Brent had come within one clerical and
three lay votes Of election. 1t was freely
predicted that he would receive the re-
quired majority Of all votes on the next
ballot.
Immediately after the selection Dr.
McKim, as president Of the standing
committee Of the diocese. was instructed
to notify Bishop Brent by cable Of the

MANS HEADGEAR.

From the Primitive Cap to the Glossy
High Hat Of Today.
Earliest of all forms of headgear was
the cap. The hat did not really come
into common use till the seventeenth
century In the time Of Charles I. the
queer high sugar loaf shaped hat came
into fashion. 1t was wound with a
rich band and trimmed with feather.
Constant balancing of the head was
necessary to keep it on. The hat was
taken up by the Puritans, who salts
fed their bitter consciences by discard
ing the frivolous band and the wicked
feather.
Charles II. brought the French peri
wig into England, and the tall hat
went out to make way for low, broad
brimmed thing, gorgeous with feathers
and gimcracks. These broad brimS be-
came broader and broader. At last II
became necessary to turn them up.
First this was done at the back, finally
according to the wearer's idea.
Out Of this extrayagant style of head.
gear grew the cooked hat. The foot.
men and the liveried coachmen OF
many European nations still wear this
style of headgear. During Queen Anne's
time the cooked hat was the hat of the
gentleman. The correct fashion was
to carry it under the arm as much as
possible.
The French revolution, which took
of so many heads that had worn the
cooked hat, took of the cooked hat too
In its place the crescent shape became
the style, partly by force. The direct
ancestor Of that dreadful thing, the
high hat Of today, was the noble and
sturdy beaver. Beavers went out Of
fashion largely because the supply Of
material became exhausted.-Lsondon

suv FROM HoMI DEALERS.


! Not for the purpose Of helping the
home merchant 50 much as helping
himself should the farmer in purchas-
ing his lumber, paint and other sup
plies get the prices and ascertain the
quality Of the materials which are or
fered for sale by the home dealer.
Usually he can buy at home on condi-
tons which enable him to return goods
I'm case they are not satisfactory. While
the local merchant Is almost always
willing to give a customer credit pro-
.yided he is good. In the case OF pur-
chases Of foreign goods one not only
has to pay cash, but IL the goods are
not entirely satisfactory he Is quite
loath to send them back when his mon
ev Is at the other end of the line. II
the concern in the big city has dis
satisfied customer here and there 1t Is
mot likely a matter of so much con-
Germ as it would be in the case OF the
dealer in the home town, whose Gus
toners are relatively limited. AS IL
Illustrating the point we would make.
there came to our notice the other day
the case CT patent paint concern
which was selling brand of paint
that on analysis was found to contain
20 per cent Of plain water. while the
other ingredients in it were unworthy
the name of pigment. If home dealer
should palm off such truck as this on
the people of his vicinity he would in
all probability be run out of town,
and yet there are hundreds of concerns
of just this type that do thriving
business because Of the confidence OF
gullible buyers in their glowing adver-
tising announcements

DEGREES FOR FARMERS.

The agricultural department of the
University of Wisconsin has inaugural
ed a policy which is most commend
able and practical one. 1t is, in brief,
the adjustment of mark of d1st1nc-
tion to be conferred upon enterprls1ng
and progressive farmers of the state
who have distinguished themselves In
any particular line of their calling
This Is but doing the same thing In the
realm of agriculture that is customarily
done by most colleges in the comforting
of degrees upon those, whether gradu-
Iates of such institutions or not. who
have achieved especial success along
lines of study, research or discovery
The plan in question would seem to
nave the further excellent feature OF
Iarousing interest on the part OF the
farmers Of the state In the work OF
their agricultural school because OF Its
endeavor to recognize the worth OF
their work of whatever kind.
A Bangor (Me.) capitalist Is trying to
interest southern rice growers In q
process which he has discovered for
making paper pulp from rice straw.
Samples of paper manufactured by his
process seem to be Of excellent quality,
capable Of retaining ink and suitable

paper Is used. Should this PROPOSE
ton prove to be practical one 1t VIII
tend to relieve somewhat the demand
which is made on the forests OF the
country in the manufacture OF paper
as well as utilize product which has
hitherto been wasted.

KILLING oUAck GRASS.

Ouack grass and bad habits are much
akin in that it is a good deal easier
ito let them get foothold than 1t Is to
weed them out after they get estab-
aished. For this reason 1t is quite safe
ito be somewhat wary Of any "easy"
plan which may be suggested for
stamping out this worst Of weed pests.
The difficulty lies in the fact that In
stead Of being an animal, having a
life period covering year only, quack
grass lives from year to year, due to
the fact that it multiplies by root stalk
as well as by seed. This fact makes
ordinary cultivation which is death to
weeds Of the type of pigeon grass,
crab grass, pigweed and the like worse
than useless, for it results in breaking
the roots into pieces and spreading
them, having the same effect In multi
plying the pest as would q deliberate
scattering Of the seed. In view Of
this fact, other methods have to be re-
sorted to. The consensus of opinion
ON the part Of those who have had ex-
perience with quack grass seems to
Ibe that the only effective method Is
that which results in smothering the
plant-that Is, not allowing 1t to de-
velop a leaf system during one whole
season This means such a weakening
Of vitality of the plant system that 1t
dies for lack Of breath and sustenance
This result may be brought about by a
thorough preparation Of the soil in
May and sowing Of dense and rapid
ly growing crop like millet or buck
wheat, which should be plowed under
to a good depth when In full blossom
and reseeded to the same crop and
plowed under again when in full bloom.
The land should be given a cultivated
crop the next year. Even with the most
careful methods some roots Of the grass
are likely to live through the winter,
in which case they should be taken out
by hand root and branch. This process
of determination or any other that Is
effective involves q considerable ex-
penditure of both time and money and
means not only the loss Of one seasons
crop. but the work devoted to Kidding
the field of the pest. The best advice
that can be given Is to stamp the grass
;out at the start before It gets foot
hold, and this Is effectively done by
carefnIiy covering small patches Of 1t
with tar paper and keeping the grass
from getting light and air for a period
Of two months. It is more than likely
that a good many farms get inoculated
with quack grass before the owners
fully realize what it Is. 1t II well to
study 1t ON q neighbor's farm rather
than on ones own.
