History Records That Il Adorned the
Head Of Charles WI. on HIs>
Entry Into Rouen.

Charles VII. on his triumphal entry
into ROuen In the year 1449. We are
told, astonished the whole city by
appearing in q hat lined with red silk
and surm0unted by a plume of feath-
ers. It was the first time the citizens
had ever seen a hat.
From this entry of Charles into
Rouen the beginning Of the custom Of
wearing hats in Europe ia dated. 1t
was all very well for the rich citizen
to follow the example of royalty. but
when the clergy began to sigh for
similar splendOr it was regarded as q
falling away from grace. Priests or
religious persons we're at last forbid
den to appear abroad in anything ex-
cept ''chaperons. made Of black cloth
with decent cOronets."
A still more striking development
took place In the sixteenth century.
By the statute of IL Elizabeth every per-
son above the age of seven years. and
under q certain degree. was obliged
on Sundays and holidays to wear .

lings fOurpence for every days neg
lect. They understood how to support
native industry in those days.

A REFORMER CAUGHT.

Here is funny thing about modern
reforms and reformers: When one
gets caught he not only openly and
defantly defends himself for grating,
but all reform newspapers back him
up in it. Note the case of F. J. Heney,
who drew $4,000 from the govern.
ment without doing a stroke of work
to earn it, and note his defiance and
the beligerant attitude of the Topeka
Capital, Wichita Eagle and other
reform papers in defending him. Any.
thing goes these days, no matter how
rotten or corrupt it may be. if it has
the Reform brand on it.-Lawren.e

Poisons Long in Use.

Some poisons have been known for
ages. Prussic acid. then called the
poison Of the peach" was used by the
Egyptians before the pyramids were
built. They were the first to distill
the poison from peach pits. Corrosive
sublimate was one of the fav0rite
poisons Of Charles TX. of France. He
offered a large prize for any one who
would find an antidote for it. A physi
clan came to him one day to claim the
reward. The king sent for his cook,
who had burned the meat that day,
and made him take fatal dose of cor
r0sive sublimate. The antidote was
administered Immediately. but the
cook died. Notwithstanding. The king
had the doctor taken out and hanged.
30 his spirit followed the cooks In
less than quarter of an hour.

A NEW RELIGION.

Charles w. Elliot, late president Of
Harvard college predicts a new relig-
len to take the place of the present day
religion impaired from Asia. He be-
lieves lit will not be bound by dogma
or creed, its workings will be simple,
but its field of action limitless. Its
discipline will be the training in the
development of CO operative good will,
it will attack all forms of evil. There
will be no supernatural element; it
will place no reliance on anything but
the laws of Nature. Prevention will
be the watchword, and . skilled sur
geon one of its member. The new
religion will not be based upon auth.
ority; the future generation is to be
led, not driven. In the new religion
there will be no personi6cation Of
natural objects; there will be no dei6.
cation of remarkable human beings.
The new religion will not teach that
character can be changed quickly. 1t
will not deal chiefly with sorrow and
death, but with joy and lite. Its
priests will strive to improve social
and industrial conditions. The new
religion will not attempt to reconcile
people to present ills by the promise
Of future compensation"
