PLUG HATS OF JAPAN.
Cherished Tiles Of the Vintage Of Fifty
Years AGO.

"There is one sight which you must
not miss when you 90 to Tokyo" saiG
the seasoned traveller to New York
Sun reporter THAT is the rare dis
play of anthropologicnl 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 in chrysanthemum time. but take
the tip of one who has batted about
the world considerably and land in
Tokyo either 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toned, out of date.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. antiquated 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
noughts. 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 at Ncgishi. near Yokohama, does
the japanese gentleman bring forth
from his camphor wood chest his plug
hat. a heritage from his forefathers.
II may he 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 plug hat may set
tie around his ears or it may perch
upon his head like half a peanut shell.
but no matter. 1t is the hat 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"

saluting the Quarter Deck.

One of the oldest customs in the
navy and one that is often puzzlng to
the landsman is that Of "salutng the
quarter deck" Many have the hazy
idea that the national colors are its
object and that 1t is merely a naval
fad. While to a certain extent it is a
fad, it is one Of hoary antiquity, be-
ing survival of the days when cru
clfiX was placed on the stern of a ship
and was always saluted as a matter
of course. When the crucifx was taken
away the old feeling still remained.
and men continued to salute the place
where it had been. The younger gen.
GRAFTON initiated their elders, and the
salute became a habit and continues
until this day.-Los Angeles Times.

OgnZed that detectives, when sent out
after valuable dogs that have been
lost, invariably visit first all the black
smiths shops in the neighborhood.
The reason why dogs frequent the
blacksmiths' shops is that they love
inordinately the odor and the taste of
burning hoofs. They sniff the odor as
woman shifts a rose. and they eat
