OLD AIDS TO THE HAT TRADE
Severe Laws Have Been Passed In
England to Protect Various
Makers Of Headgear.

Hats have in England been subJec,
to very sever protective enactments
The blocked beaver hat for instance,
imported by Sir Walter Raleigh from
the low countries, won It's way so
rapidly that In 1871 Queen Elizabeth
passed an act to protect the making
Of "thrummed- caps. made from wool
for the advantage of the landed pro
prietors. whose sheep furnished the
material The statute provided that
every person. except ladies and Jews
(why were Jews excused?) shall on
Sundays and holidays veal on bis
head a cap Of velvet wool made in
England Penalty Sc. 6p. per day"
About a century later the law, for
which there Is nothing too high or
too low, having taxed mems shoes,
turned It's attention onoe more 70
their hats. and soon put a check on
all improvements in the trade by re-
curing every vender Of hats to take
out a license under a heavy penalty.
Subsequently a stamp duty was Inn
posed on all hats, which were on
cially marked inside where the
makers name now appears. The
penalty for selling a hat without a
stamp was e10. and the penalty for
forging a hat stamp was-deathi
Whence. no doubt the modern custom
Of the man who goes to church, sits
down. looks into his hat-to read his
makers name!

LIFE IN A COAL BREAKER
Dark Picture Drawn Of Employment
to Which Young Boys Are
Bound

Practically every boy graduates
from school 10 the coal breaker before
he Is fourteen-some boys as early as
ten OF eleven years. The coal break
er is a gaunt, tower-like wooden struc-
ture. at the top OF which the coal is
broken into the required size for use
and then sent in a continuous stream
down chutes which empty into wait
ing coal cars or pockets. The boys
are employed to pick out Of the NOV
ing stream the pieces Of slate as they
appear-straddling the chutes, OF sit
ting on small wooden projections at
the side. The atmosphere In the
breaker Is 30 thick and dark with fly
ing coal dust that an attempt to take
a photograph Of a couple of boys at
noon. near a window, resulted In one
indistinguishable black surface; the
noise is 30 great that could not dis
tinguish the words of my guide even
when he put his mouth close to my
a and shouted; the movement and
shaking of the whole structure are at
times 30 violent that In some break
ers ! have been Obliged 10 hold
tightly to a hand rail for safety. The
boys grow 30 cramped from long SIT
ting in one position that sometimes
they seize the opportunity to chase
one another around the slippery metal
platforms And there was not n

lieries that we have happened TO visit
who did not upon our questioning. TO

occurred In his experience. OF a boy
who had slipped into a coal pocket
and been smothered. or had been
mangied and killed by falling into the
machinery. When we have asked
whether the slate picking could not
be done by mechanical devices. the
answer has been. Yes. but
the boys r cheaper Mag
