The reservoir hat
 Is a brand-new wrinkle; Of course 'tisnt made
 With a purpose to sprinkle, Nor yet to assuage
 The thirst of a lady Be her name Finkelsteln,
 Wiggins, Brown or O'Grady. The "reservoir" hat
 Has A place for fresh flowers When we think of the thing,
 Why, the thought overpowers- And ye dame trims her hat
 After due cogitation And adown the boulevard She's a real sensation. The water on her hat Keeps the flowers fresh ploonhihs rili the wearer returns as4 To the place where she's rooming. | If she lives in palace, | Or is simply a 'hatter' | Whatever her station. | Why, that doesn't matter. | And when she goes out
 For another grand airing, She sends to the florist,
 No expense, mind you, sparing, And gets some freshs blossoms
 For to trim up her lid, sir If you sneered but this moment,
 I'm sorry you did, sir.
 For a reservoir hat
 Is a glorious invention,
 For a reason, I find. That I hardly need mentlon. To ye florist it brings , Many thrice-welcome dollars . Though it may leak bit And spoil some lace collars.

 The republic of France Is nearly 40 years old. It has, at any rate, lasted longer than any other preceding form of government in that country in modern times did, and it seems stronger today than at any time in it's career. It evil dently, like that of Switzerland, has come to stay.
 Portugal is third republic, but two little ones should not be overlooked. Andowa has an area of 175 square miles, and 1t is under the oversight of France and the Spanish bishop of Urgel. It is governed by a council of 24 members, which lodges the executive power in a syndicate. San Marine, surrounded by Italian territory, is also an independent republic. It has a council of 60 mem- bers. from among whom two regents with executive power are appointed ev- cry six months. It's area is but 3s square miles. It is small, but it is free and it has no public debt.
