FASHIONS FOUNDED ON UTILITY
Dofflng of the Hat and the Firing OF
Artillery Statutes.


Fashionable fictions, indeed, have
almost as much vitality as the
legal ones. Why. for example, do
you remove your hat? That rather
banal courtesy had in old times a
real significance. On entering the
hall of a castle a knight removed his
helmet to show that he had conf
dence In the goodwill Of his host.
Not to remove the helmet was as
much as TO say that the owner was
guarding himself against possible
buffet from sword or mace.
Captain Hope shows that the mill
tary salute had originally much the
same meaning. What soldiers call
going through the motions" once
signified willingness to unhelm If
you We're not prevented from doing
so by the exigencies of the moment.
The practice of firing artillery sa-
lutes can be accounted for in the
same way. Guns came into use long
before the abolition of armor, and in
those days II was considered a cour-
tesy to load all the castle suns-not
blank at the approach of a dlsfin-
guished parsonage and fire them off
The emptying of the guns, just be-
fore the visitor came Within range
proved the absolute confidence OF the
host.
The offering of the right hand can
be traced 10 the same origin. For
merly, when one man met another in
friendship. he offered him his I'M
armed sword hand, to signify that
he would leave his sword In Its
sheath, and that the other need not
be on his guard against attack.
The sword is also responsible for
our habit Of mounting a horse on
the near side-a custom. in all
probability. of comparatively mod
ern origin, and at the commence
ment OF the Christian Era were not
only very short, generally speaking.
but worn on the right side OF the
person.
To the sword. likewise, we owe
the buttons that are placed at the
back of a tail coat. Their original
raison d'etre was to support the
sword belt. as they do on a soldiers
tunic to this day.

1t Is stated that the reason the

G! Brown that a portion OF the court
house grounds be appropriated for
the erection CT q monument TO the
late w. s. Graham, chief Of the fire
department, who was killed while in
tho discharge of duty, was that the
authority Of the board to grant the
request is doubtful. A special act Of
the legislature would probably be
necessary to legalize the grant OF land
asked for by DR.. Brown in behalf of
the Graham monument committee.
Another objection was raised by a
member of the board to wit: that the
granting of this request, in itself I'M
Objectionable, would establish 4 pre-
ccdent that might, and probably
would, prove awkward in future. IF
