Mexican "CartwheeI" Hats.

General Villa, like most of his coun'
trymen, has fancy for -brimmed
hats. An American who served for
some years as secretary of Mexican
corporation, says that the Mexicans
possess a special weakness for hats
of the cartwheel type. 1t is by no
means unusual In Mexico to see q
man wearing a hat worth $50 or $35
while his suit is not worth a dime. In
one part of the country law has been
enacted imposing fine of $40 on every
man found to be wearing hat more
than 80 inches wide"

Every measure, from Maine to the Phil.

island in Alaska, must agree with this
II not the user may inhabit a jail. Al
weights are also based on this meter.
Thus, the unit OF weight is that of a
cube Of distilled water whose side is one
deeimeter, and whose weight is one kilo-
gram. and capacity one liter. Then.
since the original meter and also its
copies. one for each nation, are kept in
constant temperature rooms, their
lengths are constant. Then all measures
referred 20 them are constant
All substances known to science havs
been weighed with an accuracy beyond
hope OF imagining Thus, all forms Of
matter known are referred to a volume
OF one cubic centimeter and every weight
is known and catalogued
These weights. at constant volume, and
constant temperature at constant dis
lance from the center of the earth and
therefore at constant gravltatlon. are
indeed natures grand constants.

A number Of modern sciences are based
directly ON the one fundamental science of
measurement-for weighing is really
measuring. The ineffable splendors of
modern science. with its train of such
blessings as the telegraph. telephone.
microscope. telescope. spectroscope, NOV
ing pictures. electric light. motor, dy-
namo, railways and ships in water and
alr-these and many more could not now
be had without measuring.
One cannot enter the doors OF the
buildings of the United States national
bureau OF standards in Washington with
out the almost unconscious feeling OF inn
preston that he is in the very presence
OF superior humans. Work done within
these walls has awakened the admiration
and unbounded confidence OF every per
son in the world familiar with recent
science.
These constants at the foundation of
science, are length, mass, volume, den
sity, weights, measures. the marvellous
units pf electricity, OF resistance. current,
observation-disclosures. absolute energy of
electricity. conductivity. capacity, Undue
lance. fundamental units of magnetic
fields OF force, OF lines. OF potential,
ohms, amperes. volts, electrolygis. cleo

rents. radiation. radiant energy. activity,
light, photometry. spectroseopy. light
pressure. tension, reflection, refraction,
the labyrinths OF micro-photography,
ruling engines. micrometers that measure
millionths of oentimeter-these and
hundreds more, enough names and titles
to fill a column are as common as
household words in these now classic
buildings.

from Mr.. London:
The unfortunate young man whose

existence leaning on the breast or chest
OF his stronger sisters and brothers.
Neither you nor nor God Himself can

Mr. London has coined a new term.
which Is very expressive. and which de-
scribes a isrge class OF human beings.
Here is another letter from another
s0b-brother
This young man OF 30 says his whole
lie is ruined by the ridicule OF his asso-
ciates. because he happens TO have a fair
complexion and handsome features, in
stead OF rugged appearance.
His associates refuse 10 treat him with
respect and his business injured
Then he adds.
Il have such hatred for human ma
tnre that do not seek the companionship
or man or woman. I hate anyone to speal,

Do Not Be 'Sob-Brother'

II the young man will analyze his men

self-consciousnese and self-oentered
tendency. and he will understand why he
has become the target OF the jests OF the
thoughtless.
The man who has ambition. courage.
hope. will power and big ideals can never
be put down or pushed aside by others
merely because he has pink checks or a
Greek nose
The best thing this sob-brother can do
Is TO enter into training as an athlete.
Let him take course OF lessons with the
gloves and then reply 10 ridioule by a
challenge TO boxing match
After a few such experiments he will
find the attitude OF his acdusintances
changing from ridicule 20 respect.

and powders for the relief Of aching feet,
, corn plasters. bunion shields and any
number OF mechanical appliances for the
aid OF sufferers from deformed or sensl-
tive feet Undoubtedly the climate of the
United States with its extremes Of heat
and cold and the uneven pavement or
many OF our cities are responsible for
much suffering of this SORT.
Excepting cases where there Is some
deformity in the foot structure most
cases Of aching feet can be divided into
two classes dry nervous feet and feet
that suffer from excessive perspiration'
Feet that perspire unduly are apt to be
sensitive and csllous spots form easily.
There are some powders which applied
10 the feet will check such perspratior
without checking the natural flow of thu
sweat glands, and will also neutraliz
any unpleasant odor arising from 1t. Bu
any remedy should be used in conjunc
ton with proper hygienic care.
Changing the stocking daily is strong
step I'm foot comfort and. incidentally,
will make the stockings last twice as
long Soaking the feet in hot water will
reduce inflammation. but as a rule tho
over hot bath will render the feet unduly
sensitive. A treatment often successful
Is to battle the feet at night in fairly hot
water. rub away with the hands or 9
flesh brush the dry skin, powder with
talcum or a special powder. and in the
morning imnerse them for a few minutes
in cold salt water. This treatment will
harden the feet and tend to make the
preparation normal
Nervous, dry feet are often benefited
by massage following the warm evening
root bath. To do this anoint the fin
gers anG PAINS OF the hands with vase
line. or some soothing lubricant, and
gently but firmly massage the entire
foot, beginning with the toes and work
ing up over the ankles. Five minutes
massage on each foot will often have
wonderful curative effect
Not only should stockings be clean, but
make sure that there are no rough dar1i-
ing or knots that may press on sensi-
tive nerve. Sensitive feet are generally
more comfortable in cotton stockings
than in isle or silk, and white stockings
are preferred to colored or black ones,
the dye in the latter sometimes causing
discomfort.

woman TO look masculine.
The woman who is afflicted with such
an appearance should cultivate all the
feminine graces with more earnestness
even than her normal appearing sisters;
and tho feminine-faced man should bend
all his energies toward the aim OF being
In every respect manly
A womanly woman: what can be more
charming on earth and what more adir-
able than a manly man?
To whichever sex you belong. cultivate
the qualities which belong TO It.
And OF all things, avoid being sob
brother or sob-sister.
Look in your own qlind and soul for the
courage and strength which lie there; look
up to the Great Source from which you
came, and be and do that which you de-
sire.
