The Cardinals Hats.

A CARDINAL never wears the red

MS rank; but he has other hats. for bv
the law of the church. there are pro-
vlded for him no fewer than six differ
ent forms of headgear.
In the first place, there is his ordr-
nary, everyday hat, the black. wide
orimmed affair such as clerics wear.
Secondly. there is red hat bordered
with gold, which he uses when he goes
10 church in his red cassock. At one
!ime this was the cardinals EVERYDAY
hat.

SILK bordered with gold. This is called
the capellone, and at one time it pro-

OCCASIONS. such as lamentations. The

is TO look after the hats, holds ii sus

Another hat is the biretta 1t has

pirettas for other members of the
eiergy. That of the cardinal is to be
ahlstinguished th by reason of the fact

there is loop of silk string instead OF
tne usual pompon. The particular
plretta which the Pope bestows on the
cardinal is never worn .
Next IN the list comes the red skul1
cap. sometimes called the calotte and
sometimes the Zucchetta. All priests
may wear skull cap, but only a car
dinai may wear red one
Lastly, there is the pontifical hat
"nlch is never worn, not even at the
moment when the prelate becomes a c.r

the ofhce. This hat, the real symbol of
the cardinals dignity, is of red cloth
lined with silk. Two cords hang frop,
II, and end in fifteen tassels arranged
IN nVe rows. The cords are of red silk
entwined with gold. Other ecclesjasti
cal hats have the cords. but only the
are red. The cords for bish-
ops and archbishops are green. those
tor patr1archs are green entwined with
gold. and those of most prelates are
black. Then. too, only the cardinai.s
cords have fifteen tasselS.
1t is a tradition that the red hat of
the cardinal is due to the following

The big fellow and very real person,
John Hampstead, the hero of this ro-.
nance. was at heart a preacher all
the time. But before reaching that
goal John Hampstead had been many
things-a railroad clerk, actor, book
agent. What success he had had in any
of these occupations was due to the
essential preacher that he was. 1t was
just that that was back of his good
acting, back of his persuasive way
with the railroad officials around him.
But John Hampstead was all the time
unconsciously waiting for the "cali'
to preach. 1t is in this field that the
sincerity, the kind of fanatical sin
cerlty, of the man comes out under
the stresses that friendship and an un-
scrupulous woman and an easily CEN
serious world impose upon him. This is
serious novel. 1t is a big and spa

Perhaps this writer has done as we'll
as any one could do under the circun-
stances. Invalidism in actual life is
generally depressing, thing to con-
ceal, not to exploit. AS the theme of
story it is hard to find an excuse for it,
Nor does this writer help one in a
search for this excuse. The hero here
is a youth with heart" sick from
boyhood with this same heart. A tenn
porary interest attaches to the fact
that out of much reading and entire
seclusion he has come to look upon
himself as some one who, really living
I thousand or two years ago, has
| drlfted along again to live this vision
ary half-life of the invalid. A carefully
| prepared set of circumstances finally
| entices him, little by little, to sit up
| and begin to take notice of Netherleigh,
| his English home. of which he knows
| nothing and to which he is wholly in
different. This allurement goes pa
tiently on. with distressingly small re-
turns at first. Slowly the neighborhood
opens up to the youth, and, in the end.
| he falls in love and gets married, just
as heroes of romances always do. The
story calls for air. and sunlight and
action to dissipate the odors of drugs

~EDERAL forestry men who have
lS visited the territory that has come
to stand for the land of golden op-
portunity for aggressive Americans,
Alaska, relate unusual exploration
tales.
One of the curious features about
that white land is the time they choose
to explore many of their forests. Much
of this work is done in winter. when
the snow is piled high and icicles fes-
toon the trees. A stalwart forest OFF,
Ger picks his party. a couple or three
men, rustles team of huskies a sub
stantial sled. buys his provisions and
starts out for a trip lasting from four
to six weeks.
Considerable concern has been ex-
pressed for these explorers, and it has
, been supposed that they suffered great
hardships. But those men of the United
States forestry service who have talked
with the Alaskan explorer of forests
say that the men are SO accustomed to
exposure to every kind of weather and
SO Injured to the hardships that are con-
comitant with the eternal struggle in
Alaska that they are not prone to
class hardships among their lot. They
have grown so used to them that they
no longer think Of them as hardships.
A terrific winter storm is thing to
be avoided in the arctic regions, but il
the weather man ordains that the ex-
plorer shall meet one, he is prepared to
do so without intolerable discomfort:
whereas a tenderfoot would stand
small chance of surviving an arctic on
slaught by the elements. 1t is the
character of SO much of the country of
Alaska that makes winter exploration
| necessary. A multitude of swamps,

ROADSIDE GLIMPsEs OF THE GREAT
WAR. By Arthur Sweetser. Illus
trated. New York: The Macmillan
Company.
Not many of all those Americans who
have yielded to the lure of war and
have gone across to draw as near to it
as possible have had more strenuous
and varied adventures than has the au-
thor Of this book. At one time pris-
oner of the French. at another pris-
oner of the Germans, on one day trail
ing in the rear of Won Kluck, and on
another escaping by a hairs breadth
from some hazard of the other side, Mr..
SweetSer fs able to give a most excit-
ing account of himself, and at the same
time to tell some of the horrors that
have already been told a hundred times.
The writer, renders his account in spir-
tied and graphic fashion, giving the
events the fresh touch of his individ-
ualfty. There cannot be too many of
these reports from eyewitnesses of the
great war. When it is over these vivid
pictures will be the material of the
historian. as they are today the in
forming spirit of thosee who need to
feel to their depths something of the
reality of this conflict.

Animals Acquire Tastes.

A NIMALS acquire tastes for food just
~ as men do and learn to like and
thrive on food which at first they re-
jected because 1T was strange and un-
palatable to them. 1t has been noted
falfa was introduced in regions where
it was unknown before cattle refused
to eat the hay even when no other food
was available at feeding time. There
were a few adventurous nibbles, ex
pressions of dissatisfaction, a long
pause and then perhaps a turning away
from the hay In disgust. However, the
next time this hay was presented there
were more nibbles and less loathing,
and after a time the COW would con-
clude that it might not be such bad
feed after all. A little more time and
the COW considered II the choicest food
that the farm afforded and would ex-
press a preference for alfalfa hay above
all other hay that she had ever known.
Her example would encourage other
cows to sample the strange hay. and
the experiment not proving disastrous
to them. they gradually overcame their
aversion or repugnance to the sum
and finally acquired the alfalfa habit.
1t has been set forth by experts in
the Department of Agriculture that
shippers of cattle from the arid sec
tions of the west, where corn Is un-
known, often have difficulty In getting
the stock to eat corn fodder or even
corn. One specific instance has come
under the observation where the cattle
were fed corn with the dried husks at
tached, whereupon they ate Of the
husks and left the corn. When these
same cattle were turned on the green
grass the following season. instead OF
eating the new growth they contented
themselves with browsing off the dead
stalks of the preceding season. 8

resembled the desert grass to which
they were accustomed.
1t was also observed that when cow
peas were FIRST tried in portions of this
country it was found difiicult to induce
stock to eat the vines. either when
cured or made into ensilage. and 1t is
said to be q matter Of record that at
one agricultural experiment station

opinion that cowpeas were of no value
