The Federal Government is acting
on the old saw that "all work and no
play makes Jack a dull boy" and has
adopted rule for holiday for horses
employed in the public service. The
first example of the new law was test
ed in the case of all horses used in the
service at Washington. The horses
employed in the postal department are
to have thirty days vacation every
year, the same as government employ

Vexuvius.


Vesuvius cut but a small figure in

r. G. its crater served as a camp OF
refuge to band OF gladiators. In 63
A. ID. the serenity was broken by a
violent grumbling that manifested it,
self in severe earthquake that shook
up the surrounding region. For sixteen
years the subterranean rumblings con-
tinued at intervals, and in the year 70
A. D. came the great catastrophe in
which Herculaneum and Pompeii were
overwhelmed. In 1881 there was an
other terrible explosion, and since that
time Vesuvius has seldom been at rest
for many years together.-Exchange.

HORSESHOE LUCK.
An Old Myth That Goes Back to the
Greeks and Their Sea God.

An Old Myth That Goes Back to the
Greeks and Their Sea God.
OF all the emblems for good fortune
the horseshoe stands among the first
Everybody knows it is unlucky to pass

ing it up. 1t is luck emblem of the
greatest power. We are indebted fer
this statement to old tales centuries in
age that have descended from father

through the years.
The old myths repay research. The
luck of the horseshoe has a most re-
spectacle beginning. 1t is traced to the
religion of the old Greeks and their sea
god, PoSeidon, who was identical with
the Roman sea god Neptune.
To PoseidOn horses were sacred, and
to him they were sacrificed. Poseidon
was believed to have created the first
horse when he struck the ground with
bis trident and a horse sprang from
the hole. which afterward became a
spring. The sea god was the lord of
springs. To him all springs were
ascribed. In the shape of a horse be
sometimes wandered by the shores OF
his ocean domain. and where he struck
his hoofs deeply there the waters gush-
ed out and permanent springs were
found. This is the reason why horse
shoes are reckoned lucky. Going to the
root Of the matter, one sees nature
myth as the root principle. From the
sea all rain comes, and to the sea all
springs owe primal origin. and to the
rain and the fresh waters, sea derived,
we owe all fertility on earth.
The old Greeks therefore worshiped
Poseidon as the fortune giver through
his springs. They gave him horses, his
precious beasts. and they adored the
footprints OF horses when they found
them. for they might be the very foot
prints Of the god himself.
When the horses came to be shod the
transition Of the luck emblem from the
footprint itself to the shoe mark, prac-
tically the sa me thing. was easy.
Pegasus. the winged horse. from
whose boots the water springs gushed
copiously when he came to earth. has

Highest EndurabIe Temperature.


1t is difficult to say what the high
est temperature is that human be-
ing can live in. In the Kitchens of
some of the great hotels and in the
stokeholds Of some steamships the
temperature gets to 40 or 14o de-
grees. Cooks and their helpers and
Stokers have to endure that tempera-
ture for hours at time, and they
seem to get along pretty well. The
hottest place perhaps where human

Evolution Of the Fluffy Fur Into the
Finished Product.

Evolution Of the Fluffy Fur Into the
Finished Product.
1t is an interesting matter to follow
stage by stage the evolution of a little
pile of soft, fluffy rabbit fur into the
finished hat, whether light colored
crush or raven black hard bat of the
derby shape. The general idea about
such a hat is that it is cut and made,
or nodded out of a sheet of felt. so
that amazement comes wien one is
shown bales and heaps of rabbit fur
and is told that it is out of this that
hats are made. Felt indeed is not so
much primary material, but telling
is the process by which wool, fur or
hair is matted together and formed
into close fabric For hats rabbit
fur is the material used. The first
step IN It's treatment is the thorough
cleansing of the close clipped fur In a
machine, Which winnows it of all dirt
or Foreign matter and leaves it in a
soft, fluffy condition resembling the
finest and lightest down.
Anything less resembling a hat it is
impossible TO imagine. But the mar
Vicious ingenuity Of the next process
encompasses an almost magical
change. In the central box of hop
per-like machine big copper cone re-
wolves. From above the soft. fluffy
fur is fed down in shower. which
ciings like gray snow on the revolving
cone, while jets of water and steam
spray on the fur mat and plaster ii
into complete covering. In a minute
or TWO the cone is covered to the
depth OF one-eighth Of an inch with
this matter and saturated fur, which
is now become felt. The machine is
stopped, the cone is taken out. and the
workman dexterously peels off the felt
covering. Being built up on the cone.
it is also cone shaped and looks like
gigantic sugar loaf bag. 1t is the en-
bryo hat.
IN this first state it is a soft, wet.
felt cone, measuring "a by 30 inches.
Rolled up. it enters upon a series of
processes and is shrunk together so
that 1t measures 1919 by IA inches.
The hat. now a browny- gray felt
cone. like clowns cap, is smoothed
by being placed against rapidly revolv-
ing sandpaper 1t is stiffened by be-
ing dipped in shellac, dyed black by
immersion in vat and then passes
on to be shaped. Warm water gives
the felt pliability again. and the man
pulling out or "earsing' the apex of
the cone draws and smooths it down
to a wooden block of the exact shape
and size the hat is required TO be. As
it dries it takes its destined shape and
6rmness as regards the crown. while
the brim is still fat and untrimmed.
The body Of the hat Is now practi-
cally finished. Then comes the sbap-
ing of the brim. which is worked down
and bent over a wooden frame OF the
exact curl and line of the ordained de-
sign. Each size and style of hat has
its own frame, as it has also it's iron
mold. wood block. etc., and every al
teration in seasons styles and shapes
calls for an entirely new set of molds.
