HOW The CUSTOM oE Hal Tipping BEGAN

We consider man a gentleman who takes off
his hat lady. At least the act is thought to
be gentlemanly, polite. The origin of this custom,
like many other customs common among civilized
people, goes back to primitive times.
When a person made captive his conqueror
stripped him of his weapons and clothing and left
him without anything he could call his own The
captive thus made slave, his lack of cloth
ing being evidence of his subjugaton. We need
only to look the sculptures of the Assyrians to
the truth of this fact And in Isaiah "a, We
find the following statement: And the Lord said,
like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and
barefoot three years for u sign, shall the King
Assyria lead away the Egyptians prisoners and
the Ethiopians captives, young and old, naked and
barefoot
The first step then, in tracing the origin OF
taking the hat is the surrender of the clothing
among primitive ancient peoples mark of
submission The next step is the uncoverlng or the
body a mark of reverence. There are all de-
grees uncoverng, though often only the most
valuable parts the clothing taken off in the
presence of superiors.
Captain Cook tells us that during his stay at
respect took off the greater part of their clothing
and put it Cook nd his friend In Abyssinia,
Spencer tells US, was the custom for interiors to
bare their bodies down girde before superiors
But the presence of equals only corner Of the
tunic was removed to bare the shoulder. The
barring of the shoulder, especially throughout the
Gold Coast is a custom common as taking off
the hat with US. UncBoaking in Spain is similar in
origin In Africa the bare their shoulders and
doff their caps superiors, thus joining two Gus
toms in
In times of chivary raised their hats to
ladies to show reverence But this was only super
fcia in meaning. A knight would ride down poor
peasant woman carrying a large burden and never
think of taking off his hat her-Cleveland Plain

dramatic incidents OF the trial. little felt in the
result Whether the killing of Calmette

mitted Even French law must place mita

But it is not becoming. after ALL for us Amer
leans TO crtcise a verdict which frees pretty
woman of the charge of murder. 1t is very diff
cult in sections of this country, convict
woman of such a crime. Not long a county
attorney of this state speaking of his expe-
rience, said it could be done, and that opinion
was subsequently confirmed by the county attorney
OF another county where a had been
quilted of the murder of her father.
In England and in of the New England
states where the sense of gaantry is not abnor-
NAL as TO dwarf the sense of justice while women
charged with murder may be given slightly more
consideration than they not held guiltless
when the evidence against them is overwhelming.

of a great naval review in waters invitations
We're sent out through ministers and ambas-
sailors at all foreign capitals the countries to

Of these invitations handed to the Swiss gov

that Switzerland is not naval power to be reck-
oned with and the invitation has been withdrawn
without giving offense to the Swiss republic.
Speaking of the naval review, in the event of a
general European war, if the Germans the French
