OId-Tlme Market Days.

''Market-day," for ages an instltu-
ton in England, still exists In certain
localities, and may still be studied
with interest by the tourist who visits
Halifax, Nova Scotia, or Charlotte
tower, Prince Edward Island, where
large enclosures and roomy market
houses are maintained for the benefit
of the country people, and such citi-
Zens as have established regular
market business. Everything from
live stock to bouquet of flowers may
be brought here for sale, the owner
being allotted suitable place and
charged small fee for his accommo-
dation, and while most of the market
people are far from being especially
rustic In their dress or speech, the
variety, and sometimes the peculiar
ity of their offerings still suggest the
important part which the English
market and it's legal control played
in the local and business life of three
centuries ago.-"Nobility of the
Trades-The Farmer" Charles Win
slow Hall, in National Magazine.

HAT AND TIE SETS EN- SUITE
Accessories That Add Immensely to
the Effect Of the Most Simple
Costumes.

If you are pretty girl, filled with
the ambition to be always smartly
CARRIED and have not an overplus of
money, you can help out your ward
robe wonderfully by means Of hat and
Gle sets. First of all. provide yourself
with one of the new small frames OF
turban or bonnet shape-whichever
most becomes you-and cover 1t with
taupe or black velvet as either OF
those tones will accord with any
shade which you may desire to put
with them. Then make several bands
Of precisely the length to fit about the
srown of the hat and hook them I'M
der bows of broad ribbon. The band
mary be of fur, of feathers, of single
hong plume. Of embroidered net or
velvet or of silk or worsted flowers,
but II should fit the crown so perfect
~ that # can be whisked off In
minutes time and replaced with an
sther OF a different sort.
Matching neckties are made of the
game materials, but In two ways. A
favorite model consists of a band
twice the width of the one fitting the
hat, and secured under the left ear
with a long-ended and short-looped
bow of reversible ribbon velvet. An
other model consists of wide band
shaped precisely like stock. This,
closing in the back, fits the throat
closely. and is trimmed with four
finch wide plated frill of ribbon or
faffeta matching the bow Of the hat
band.

PRECIOUS RELICS IN DANGER
Steps Being Taken by the Pope to
Insure the Safety of Documents
In tire Vatican.

Father Ehrle, the well-known his
torian, who has been project of the
vatican library since 1895, Is shortly
to retire from his important post. and
Monsignore Rattl, director of the Am
brosian library, Of Milan, has been Sc
Consequently destructive Bird, Held
lected by the pope to succeed him.
The manuscripts contained in the
vatican library number over forty
thousand and surpass not only in num-
Der but also In value and interest those
of all other Libraries in the world
combined because they have been ac-
cumulated since practically the begin
ming of the Christian era. 1t will be
necessary for Father Ehrle to remain
OF years in order that he may hand
over to his successor these manuscript
treasures, which must be identified
one by one.
The pope. on the suggestion OF the
retiring librarian, has availed himself
of this detailed examination of manu-
scripts, which takes place whenever
new project is appointed, to reform the
methods heretofore adopted for their
preservation. The manuscripts are in
closed in low wooden cupboards called
"armadii," about five feet high, the
doors of which are richly decorated,
according to the plan In use for Gen.
turtles in Rome, which was to combine
art galleries and libraries and thus
give room to hang pictures on the
walls over the books.
While every precaution Is taken for
the preservation of the manuscripts
from moths and dampness this old sys-
tenn of keeping them has it's great
drawbacks in case of fire. as the cup
Father Ehrle suggested to the pope that
every cupboard when possible should
be converted into strongbox or safe
perfectly fireproof and that two or
three large rooms should be specifical-
ly built with walls covered with steel
plates or other non-inflammablet mate
rial, to which the manuscripts that can
not be kept in cupboards could be re-
moved.
His suggestion has been fully APP
proved by the pope, who still recalls
the fire in the vatican, which but for
the Intervention of the italian firemen
might have had disastrous results,
and the necessary arrangements have
now men made to have the vatican
manuscripts preserved in such a way
as to insure their safety and integrity.

ELECT POTMASTERS
Progressive Party Would Have Vote
Taken On Choice

IL has been suggested AT one OF the
Progressive state conventions, says the
Grand Rapids Press, that a plank
should I've inserted in the National
Progressive platform adj, ocating the
election OF posimasters by the people.
OF course there has been considerable
fault found with the postmasters for a
good many years. 1t is hard for the
government To select postmaster who
will please everybody, especially in the
smaller communities where everybody
wants 10 be postmaster himself. The
postmaslers often fail TO get postage
stamps of the right color To suit the
taste Of the most discriminating and
they are not always fortunate in their
selection of the flavor OF the gum stick
urn on the backs Of said stamps. Then
again there are people who have 10
wait many years for letter containing
a check from broiher-in law or n
cousin in payment OF an old obligation
and they blame the postmaster when
the letter does not arrive. Many, many
things happen 10 make a postmaster
unpopular.
OF course, il would be n fine thing u
curb the pernicious political activity OF
these officials, WHO owe their jobs To q
PARTISAN administration, Dut how
could II community ever elect post
master with each citizen voting fol
himself?
