PLUG HATS OF Japan.
Cherished Tiles Of the Vintage Of FIT;
Years AGO

Years Ago.
"There is one sight which you must
not miss when you go to Tokyo" said
the seasoned traveller to New York
Sun reporter THAT is the rare dis
play of anthropooglcal plug hats.
"Some people arrange to get to Japan
In cherry blossom season, and others
want to get there in time to receive an
Invitation to the emperor's garden par
ty i'm chrysanthemum time. but take
the tip Of one who has batted about
the world considerably and land in
Tokyo eitter on New Years day or on
the emperor's birthday. On both you
can see something unique in the lines
of headgear.
"When Japan began to get civilized
she bought all the accessories of civ
ilization that England did not want
any more. England sold her old fash
Toned, out Of date, narrow gauge rail-
road stock. Anticipated tram cars and
other secondhand junk, including the
then current styles of plug hat.
''The tile of those days has remain
ed the ruling fashion in Japan up to
the present. Japan may build Dread
thoughts. but the plug hat Of fifty
years ago still reigns supreme.
"Only on such ceremonious occasions
as the New Years festivities, the en-
peror's birthday or possibly the racing
meets ut Negishi near Yokohama, does
the Japanese gentleman bring forth
from his camphor wood chest his plug
hat, heritage from his forefathers.
1t may be warped with twenty sum
mers, damp or green with the shine of
antiquity, but that matters nothing.
"Once this superstructure of his
wrinkled frock coat and bagged trou-
sers is added the Japanese gentleman
feels that no dignity short of decora-
ton Of the Order of the Rising Sun
can be added to his person. That
browning glory Of a plug hat may set
tie around his ears or it may perch
upon his head like half peanut shell,
but no matter. 1t Is thehat of civiliza-
ton and the badge Of responsibility.
"He trots out Of his house looking
like one Of the ancient daimios, stiff
with the dignity Of two swords. All
that fearful day he wears this hat OF
ancient vintage like a crown, and in
the end he slows it away in his damp
proof chest awaiting another festal
occasion or held as an asset in his es-
tate after DEATH"

A Boy on CleraYmen.

Bishop Potter at an ecclesiastical
dinner in New York one time read a
Cooperstown schoolboy's essay on
"Clergymen." The essay. which Great
ed much amusement, was as follows:
"There are three kinds of clergymen
bishups recters and curats. the bishups
tells the recters to work and the curats
have to do it. curat is a thin mar
ried man but when he is a recter ne
gets fuller and can preach longer SER

AN INDIAN GREETING.
The Salutation a Canadian Heard on
the Columbia River.

the Columbia River.
Telling about the Indians of the Pa
cific coast as he found them in 1885,
Paul Kane. the Canadian artist. tried
to give an idea of their language as he
found it at that time. The example
which he quotes would have delighted
Max Muller, and it may interest some
readers in this country. In his WAN
behring's of an Artist he seems not to
recall any particular individual of the
name of Clark who might have i'm
pressed the Indians of the Columbia
river. but American readers will at
once think of the comrade of Major
Lewis in the famous expedition Of
1903.
l would willingly give specimen Of
the barbarous language of this people
We're it possible to represent by any
combination of our alphabet the hor-
rible. harsh. spluttering sounds which
proceed from their throats. apparently
unguided either by the tongue or lip.
says Mr.. Kane. 1t is 50 difficult to &C
CURE Il mastery of their language that
none have been able to attain it eX-
cept those who have been born among
them.
They have however, by their inter
course with the English and French
traders. succeeded in amalgamating
after q fashion some words of each OF
these tongues with their own and in
forming sort Of patois. barbarous
enough certainly, but still sufficient to
enable them TO communicate with the
traders.
This patois / was enabled after some
short time to acquire and could con
verse with most of the chiefs with toll
cradle ease.
Their common salutation is "Clak-hoh
ah-yah," originating, as l believe, in
their ancestors having heard in the
early days Of the fur trade gentle
man named Clark frequently addressed
by his friends, "Clark, how are you"
This salutation is now applied to ev
cry white man. for their own language
affords no appropriate expression

She Worked the Snake Cure.

Novel crimes are occasionally com
mitted in Paris, as, for instance: An
old gypsy woman called on a doctor
living in the Place Pierriere and asked
him to visit her daughter, who was
lying Ill in a a on the fortifica-
tons ear by. 81 have tried the ser
pent cure,' she said, "but there was no
result. If you will allow me to pay
your fee in advance l shall be sure you
will come"
The doctor consented, and the old
woman handed him a 500 note. As
he was getting the change out of the
safe she again mentioned the Serpent
cure" and he asked her what it was.
'"This.' she said, and, taking a box
from under her rags. she turned half
a dozen snakes out on the floor.
The doctor was startled inc rushed
out of the room. When he returned
with a stick he found that the woman
and the snakes had vanished. while all
the money in his safe had also gone.
He still held the 500 note in his hand,
but this proved to be a forgery.
