There's Music in Everything.

And sure there is music even in the
beauty and the silent note which
Cupid strikes, far sweeter than the
sound of an instrument; for there is
music wherever there is harmony,
order or proportion; and thus far we
may maintain the music of the
spheres Sir Thomas Browne.

FROZEN GAS.
Certainty That Gas Will Freeze During
 Severe Winter Weather.

Onlv those who have had sufficient with gas during severe win ter weather know for certainty that gas will freeze. While it seems absurd to argue that gas is affected by frost such is indeed the case, and during single week in the city of Chicago the gas companies received nearly fifty thousand calls to thaw out frozen gas pipes which necessitated the employ ing of six hundred extra men.
 Extreme cold causes the Vapor in the gas pipes to freeze. thus impending the flow of gas All through the Northern country during the last winter gas pipes were frozen, causing great in- to families depending en- tirely upon gas for cooking purposes. In exact opposition to this is the fact that users of electricity are not hamp- cred by cold weather. In fact they ac tually have better service at low tenn perature, owing the tn suprior insula- tion ther afforded.

 Brother, let us not precipitate the matter" the girls father will then say. Let me first find out what my daughter says"
 He then goes out to consult his wife. This is only for appearances, as the matter was practically settled when the father was encouraged to come to beg" for the girl.
 After more or less suspense the door orens and male relative brings the gil in. He leads her to the father of her prospective husband be- fore whom she bends deeply and kisses his right hand.
 The ring is finally brought to the engaged girl on the appointed day by q company of the bridegroom's male friends and female relatives. It is chiefly pretext for the bride groom's relatives to make the girls acuuaintance The bridegroom is not present even on that occasion.- Youths Companion.

SerVIan Bridegroom Has Second Place
 m Choosing His Wife.

A humorous plaint often goes up on behalf of the bridegroom, whose presence at a modern wedding seems merely to be tolerated But the bridegroom's case is sometimes even worse, for in certain parts of the globe he may not be pr5 sent even at his own betrothal. The following passage is from Chedo Mijatovichs interesting account of the customs of his cOuntrymen in "Servia of the Servians."
 It is the duty and privilege of every SerVian to choose q wife for his son. As soon as the boy has zrlched his 18th year the Servian peasant asks his friends confidentially, to help him find proper wife. He himself visits assiduously all the fairs in his own and neighboring districts-dressing better than usual-and watches the girls dancing. He makes careful in- quiries about the families that have marriageable daughters.
 In some parts of SerVia the young unmarried women carry a special mark in their headgear-generally a red feather-to indicate that they are open to proposals.
 When the father has chosen pro- missing girl he ascertains through d friend whether the parents would con- sent to give her to his son. If he receives an encouraging answer he invites relatives or friends to go with i him on the requesting errand." They l start out, dressed as well as can be. 1 The father carries a flat wheat cake and a bunch of flowers. One of the company must carry a pistol. for 1t is customary in Servia to announce every joyous event by firing rifles or l pistols. They arrive at the girls house before supper.
 After eating and drinking-in which
 the men alone of the two houses par
 ticipate-and some preliminary con-
 versation, the father of the prospec-
 tive bridegroom draws from his bag the wheaton cake, puts the flowers
 upon it, and places the whole upon
 the table He then takes from his

THE CAMPAIGN OF HATS.
"Hat in the Ring" Slogan Brings Con-
 vention Headgear Into Prominence.

The campaign of 1912 will be remem-
 bered as the campaign of hats. Ever since the colonel tossed his celebrated kelley into the inclosure the head covering of man has played an import 1 ant part in the events that have trans pired Much important information l has been kept under the hats of i those who are on the inside More than 1 one political power has been accused i of talking through his hat" Hats ] have been the principal hors douvre of the cartOonist and sketch artist A reporter was dispatched to head- i quarters recently to interview-nOt delegate, not delegatesses, not commit teemen nor their spOuses-but just 1 hats.
 The first hat interviewed was that of Clifford PinchOt-a neat pencil curl straw of the conservative type-suit- able for the head of a champion of con- servatiOn, if not conservatism The dainty brim curled crisply whether in scOrn of standpatism and steam roller tactics or with the heat, the interviewer was unable to determine without in terviewinG the owner of the hat and
 
 the game.
 T feel very jaunty today" said the hat of Pinchot. That comes from be- ing perched all day over hidden mine of optimism. I also have q premoni- tion that I shall be tossed into the air in the near future, and if l do I shall sail away on one of your Chicago breezes and probably will be arrested for landing in one of your parks"
 There were many hats in conference about the lobby of the Congress hotel Some of them were tilted rakishly, in dicating cheerfulness. Others rested recklessIv on the back of their owners sconces-giving the impression of frankness and carefree radicalism. Then there were many hats of the black black felt tYpe-obviously from south Of the Mason and Dixon line the type of hat which is always asso- ciated with southern cOlonels of the old school or the coroner These types were pitched down over furrowed brows, hiding even the eyes of their wearers, save when the latter chose to expose them along with their Adams apple in emphasizing point in the argument.
 Senator William Borah of Idaho wore one of those somber black affairs It was decidedly uncOmmunicative. in no way resembling it's affabe owner.
 There's a lot under my band." it seemed to say, and it's going to stay there until the senator chooses to let it out The senator never talks through his hat
 Francis J. Heney wore the most dap per hat of the whole convention crowd. simple straw affair with a wide, flat brim. placed at an angle at once az gressive and disarming. Bright around the corner was the panama of Col. w. $. Stursis of AriZOna-the largest hat that has appeared Governor Stubbs of Kansas wore d plain, telescoped felt af- fair as common on Michigan avenue as Halstead street. Senator Kenyon wore a cOllapsible fedora with easy, gentle lines Roosevelt delegates punc-' tuated their buttOnholes with emblems of the hat in the ring" slogan-little gold hats set in he center of large red rings.
