The PLUG Hat.

The year 1915 is the centenary Of
the silk hat. known in common
parlance as the tile, the plug and
stovepipe.
The first silk hat was manufactured
and worn in this country in 1915.
Some of the silk hats made in that
year are still being worn. One can
see them upon occasion of every great
local society event or when Maude
Adams or grand opera come to town.
On an occasion of this kind one can
see silk hats of every style that has
been manufactured from 1915 to 1915.
1t is necessary to change the style
of silk hats every year. II the style
was not changed there would be no
sale for them. An ordinary silk hat
will wear as long as a cast iron paper
weight. 1t is impossible to kill them

GUIDE TO JAPAN.

Walk up five months beginning
with January, turn sharply to your
right, and there is June.
June is noted for its roses and
bOneymoons. There are more DESC
lated households in June, on account
of outgoing brides, than at any other
time Also more households where
mamma experiences a grand feeling
of relief and papa hopes that now
expenses can be cut down.
To enjoy June properly, take an
early start. Begin to make your
plans about it in March. Get rid of
your moral courage, your character
and your regular business. Then,
grabbing all the money there is in
she cash drawer, enter June with
confidence and give yourself up to it
with the complete serenity of house

EXERCISE MAKING FOR GRACE
Even the Ordinary Household Task of
Sweeping May Be Turned to
Advantage.

All forms of directed exercise
make for grace, asserts a writer in
the Woman's Home Companion. A
woman who wishes to be beautiful
in the use of her body should learn to
dance, swim and above all, to use
her muscles well in the ordinary &C
tons of life. When you are STOPPING
to dust the rounds of chair, do not
bend over rigidly from the waist, but
bend your knees, slightly, and 1ex the
whole body toward the point where
your hand is. When you sweep, grasp
the handle of the broom firmly, step
briskly and accurately in its path as
you sweep, and be careful to hold up
your shoulders. No sport in the world
has a more beneficial effect upon wom-
anly grace than the prosaic work of
sweeping.
Never loll in a chair. II you wish
to rest, lie back In it, pressing your
back firmly against the support, re-
laxing your hands and finding a COM
Portable place for your head. When
you sleep, stretch your limbs out fully
and lie downfall is, lie so that you
actually feel the support OF the bed
beneath you. This method will relax
your muscles.

NOVEL USE FOR TELEPHONE
Surgeons Employ instrument to Deter.
mine the Exact Location
Of 9ullets.

War is a stimulus to science, and
this is reflected very strikingly in
matters pertaining to the relief Of
the wounded. The search for and
extraction Of fragments Of shells is
no simple matter, although surgical
endeavor has been facilitated by the
perfection of the K-rays. But these
are insufficient. A bullet may be
located speedily, but the difficulty
is to ascertain its precise position by
the probe and lancet. AS result Of
study anl investigation a simple and
effective method Of discovery has
been perfected, which may be de-
scribed as telephoning for bullets.
Ordinary telephone receivers are
clamped over the Surgeons head, one
wire being led to a carbon plate and
the second wound round the knife,
probe, needle, forceps or whatever
instrument is used. With this i'm
plement the search is made, and di-
rectly it comes into contact with.
say, a bullet, a distinct click is
heard on the telephone. If the in
strument is rubbed across the sur
face of the buried object a rattle is
observed, and by following this clue
it is possible to withdraw the bullet
or fragment of metal. The idea is
by no means new, inasmuch as it
was employed for the first time dur
ing the Boer war; but the present
campaign has served to bring it to
a high state Of perfection.

John RandoIph's silence and Psnto-

was the anxious query OF those friends
who were watching the development
OF the picture. The artist threw a
mantle over Agamemnon's face. The
blank silence was more effective than
any pictured woe.
One of the most extraordinary eff
fects produced by absolute silence is
recorded in the reports of a conven-
ton in which the foremost men Of vir-
ginia took part. John Randolph had a
measure to carry in which he looked
for the opposition Of Alexander Camp
bell, a man then noted for his scholar
ship and power in debate.
Randolph had never seen the Scotch
logician, but he had heard enough of
him to make him and his partisans
uneasy. When, therefore, the gaunt
stranger first rose to speak in the
convention Randolph looked at him
with such an air Of alarm as to at
tract the attention of the whole con-
vention, and as he glanced around
seemed to be asking for sympathy in
his coming defeat. He then COM
posed himself to listen with close at
tention.
Campbell, aware Of this by-play,
hesitated and lost the thread OF his
argument. Randolph's face by turns,
as he listened, expressed WEAKNESS.
indifference and finally contempt. He
leaned back and yawned. Campbell
sat down hastily. He had lost the
whole force of his speech. Not a word
had been spoken, but he was defeated
