RELIGION in MEMS HATS
Fantastic and Strange Object Which
Many Men Worship-Doctrine
Is Absolute.

The hat that a man wears is much
more characteristic of his religious be-
lief than the hat that a woman wears.
will tell you why. The woman wears
der clothes, not because they conform
strictly to a religious dogma or doc
trine, but because she thinks she looks
pretty in them. Whereas a man wears
his clothes because he thinks they
conform to an absolute doctrine of re
ligion.
We talk about the natives of the
South Sea islands. We talk about the
natives of Alaska with their totems
and their idols. the strange figures
that they worship, and we look down
upon them because they worship the
totem. But how much more fantastic
and strange object is that which many
men worship-the shape of their hats;
and 1t Is even true that a "a that
ear one form of hat feels ashamed
OF himself IL he has to go out on the
street with another form Of hat on
he feels different. and the only way
he has OF arriving at salvation is that
strange religion of hats is to com
mence to get used to the hat; to move
In accordance to the hat he wears:
In fact. to follow the religion of that
hat.
Let US say we have q man with Q
straw ha.. Now a man that wears q
straw hat has a little lighter tread
as he walks along the ground. He has
a lighter way Of examining things. He
Is a more fanciful man. Now, II you
put a man In a silk hat, you will find
a man In q silk hat has q very dig
nihed and solid way of conducting
himself under the auspices Of thai
silk hat
II we had a man with q straw hal
and a man with a silk hat and a train
and II the train were drawing out OF
a station, and those two men attempt
ed to catch IT, do you know which
man would catch that train? You do
don't you? Because you know the re
l1gion OF that silk hat wouldn't allow
that man to run. 1t would be ridicu
lous to run In a silk hat. But a straw
hat allows little trivialities and one
OF those trivilalities Is running. pro
viding that man wishes to catch q
train. because no running other than
for a train is allowed by any hat
whatever.

Smuggling Extraordinary.

One OF the most ingenious tricks
was that originated by a band of clev-
er Partisan rogues. A coffin, sup
posed to contain the dead body Of q
mar who had died Of diphtheria, was
dispatched from the gay city for
burial in London. 1t was met at the
railway terminus In this country, and
conveyed at nightfall to q house not

on as desired and planned had not
a policeman on duty become suspi-
cious on seeing a particularly large
coffin being taken out of q hearse into
4 house that was known to be the
labitation Of men who had done penal
servitude.
After the funeral party had shut
heir door, and the hearse had driven
away, the policeman secured assist
ance and knocked at the door. It was
found that the CONN. instead Of con-

MOTOR CAR USED IN 1861

Elijah Ware. once a well-known rail
road construction engineer In Boston

fact that Mr.. Ware was In the habit OF

small iron boiler generated steam for
the ~oscillating engines. With the steel

a dashing appearance.
When Mr.. Ware completed and
first tried his engine a crowd collected
to sex the first run. As a whole the
people looked unfavorably at Elfjah's
achievement, and some went SO far a.

NEW SAPPHIRE NOT GENUINE
French Scientist Discovers Solution Of
Problem That Has eafied
Many Heretofore.

News comes from Paris that at last
artificial sapphires have been pro-
dueed. after many unsuccessful expert
ments.
Artificial rubies are now an old
story. The artificial stones have all
the properties, chemical, physical and
optical, of the natural gems. The only
way in which experts q detect them
is by finding them too perfect. as the
natural gems have microscopic irregu-
laIities and Enclosed i~mperfections
that are absent from the artificial
product.
The stumbling block In the making
of sapphires has been the color. Eth
er the experimenters could not pro-
duce desired blue. or the stone would
have a crystalline structure that made
its detection easy.
Now, however. M. verneuil has SUBJ
mitted to the academy of sciences
stones which he has made. colored
with oxide Of titanium, which. after
a severe examination, are pronounced
identical with true sapphires. though
it is just possible that cutting them
in gem form may reveal some irregu-
iarity Of reflection or refraction.
