Hats In EIizaheth,a rim.-

The oldest material used for hats Is felt, which was in use at the time of the Conquest, while in the Canterbury Tales a merchant iS spoken of as wear ng "a fiaundriSh beaver hatte." Ladies probably did not begin to wear hats until about the tenth century. if so early, and then it was the lofty head dress draped with some material. which 1t must have been most trying to keep on even indoors and quite i'm possible to wear in wind. According to the Anatomy of Abuses" written in Queen Eliza beth's time. ladies hats were very nearly as perplexing then as they are today. ''The fashions be rare and strange. so is the stuff whereof the hats be made divers also: for some are of silke. some of velvet, some of taf- fettie and some of wool. and which is more curious. some of a certain kind Of fine haire. these they call bever hattes. of XX. xxx or XL shilling. price. fetched from beyond the seas. from whence a great sort of other va riety do come besides" In the reign of Henry VIII. hats assumed a ''greate richneSse and beautie." but in the time of the first James they became even more ornate. jewels Of price and Occa- sionally small mirrors being used t1 their decentralization Spectator.

RsntiI.. That Walk Ersot.

Lizards of several sorts can walk and run easily on their hind legs The Australian water lizard, which is three or four feet in length. keeps quite erect when traversing long distances on land. It is found in the neiEhboF- hood of river banks and passes much of it's time in shallow water.
 The frilled lizard of Queensland also travels on it's hind legs on level ground, keeping the frill folded. when running. When attacked it expands this fold OR skin. which stands out like a ruff at right angles round the neck, giving it a most formidable aspect. so that dogs that attack and kill larger lizards will often retreat before a frilIed lizard at bay.

It was in the town that modern de- mocracy had it's rise Despite all the efforts of the kings and barons to pre- vent it. the spirit of liberty began to assert itself in the larger towns in the shape of the charters which guarantee to the people certain commercial and political rights-rights which. once ob- tained. were never to be surrendered Before the middle Of the eleventh cen tury there were many of the<e ~char- tered" towns which possessed the right of eIecting their own magiB- trateS. sheriffs and judges and FeguIzt- ing their own taxes.

A Great Political Cartoonist.

With the death of Homer Calvin
Davenport, the work of one of
Americas foremost political car
toonists was brought to sudden
end. And powerful work it had
been, especially in the field of poll
tics and industrial reform. Few
cartoonists had attained such great
fame, or dealt stronger blows than
Davenport Although his work COW
cred wide range of subjects, it
was his political cartoons for which
he was best known. His original
creations of the Trust figure-brutal
and burly-and the dollar-marked
suit of Senator Hanna, have been
accepted as distinct additions to the
symbolic stock-in-trade of his craft.
Davenport himself witnessed an
illustration of the fame of some of
his work. While waiting in Senator
Hanna's ante-room for an interview
one day, there came in an old col
ored preacher, AS soon as the Sen
ator showed himself, the preacher
exclaimed: Why, Marse Hanna, |

Help the Editor.

Mount Carmel. Ill, Rev. John
Calvin, pastor Of the Christian
church at Fairfield, in a series of
sermons on the different trades, oc-
equations and calls, delivered one
on The Newspaper" Among 9TH
er things he said:
What am doing for it? Kick
ing because it is not blowing my
tin horn?
But how much of myself am
lending to the paper by speaking a
good word for it whenever | have
a chance? Really, how much of
personal influence can its editor de-
pend on? Much or is it little?
IF | grow a cabbage | want him
to publish it, but l may hear item
after item about other peoples cab
bageS and l never drop him a line
about them.
Now, as he is not almighty
enough to be in all places at the
same time, why not help him by
making news for his paper? 1t is
.~,.er d mean thing to take every
thing and give nothing back but
faultfinding
If we never feed the COW, how
can we expect any milk, and can
we blame Bossy if she kicks the
mixer and the bucket?
Where can the preacher find a
more willing agent than the news
paper? 1t gives him free advertis.
ing for his sermons, lecture, etc.
And how many times its puff
has inflated the cash balance of the
church social? And the editor has
to pay for his ice cream and cake,
besides.

but the country editor try to salts
