HAT AND THE HABITATIoN
Architect Shows How the One Has
z Always Borne Strong Relation
- to The Other.

~ A weiEknowhs architect has pointed
cut that the form OF the hat bears a
certain relation to buildings Of prim.
tive nature-huts He has invited at
tention to the curious resemblance
that has existed, and that is still to be
found III many countries between
headgear and habitatfons or other
buildings. 1tomayFb be that the same
taste,aoE tHeelack Of it, has given rise
to the similarity of style, or in the be-
ginning, the designer of the hat may
have taken,the hut as q model.
In the Hawaiian islands, long before
the inhabitants took the trouble to
clothe themselves, they built grass
houses, and at the present time the
characteristic Hawaiian hat is remark
ably like the hut.
The turbans Of the dgnitartes OF the
Eastern church are still Of the shape
of those worn by the high priests
among the Jews Of olden times, and
they are extraordinarily like the char
acteristic domes,, that surmount
mosques. Again, 1t is pointed out, the
high.pointed spires Of Gothic churches
were contemporaneous with the high
horn.like headdress known as the hen,
min.
1t is believed, too, that like results
may be found after comparison Of
other styles Of architecture with the
headgear Of the period wherein they

The Physicians Life.

The study Of medicine is an en-.
trancing subject; its practice requires
an array of virtues whose mere con-
temptation staggers the mind. one
must meet violence with gentleness,
ingratitude with eQuanimity, insult
with fortitude, SANDER with silence.
The physicians life is daily exempli-
fication OF the Golden Rule. The very
sensitiveness that inspires sympathy
with pain and misery is a weapon in
the hands of ignorance and malice
wherewith they deal dreadful wounds,
wounds Which must be endured silent
Iy- Resentment can have no place in
the physicians mind. Equanimity
must be maintained in the face or MIS-
apprehens ion and abuse.-From he,

chanical process. This is the case
in the well-known sensitive plant,
mimosa .pudica, wherein responsive.
ness to stimuli or sensitivity was, first
observed and is today most widely
known. The pressure of fluid IN q pc.
culiar. system of tubes conveys the
effect Of q touch or pat to distant parts
of the sensitive plant. and these in

Thus a light touch at one point causes
q very pronounced movement Of the

may cause. a wave of response which
resembles the effect Of strong wind

of plants, however, it has been discov
cred that conduction occurs in the

of the form Of nerve fibers in animals.
