Shedding the Straw Hat.

A movement in Baltimore to delay the
shedding of the straw hat until October 10,
a month later than the scheduled date VIII
6nd many advocates everywhere, for who
;s there who does not discard his easy,
lightweight summer headpiece with re-
luctance. and would be deal to the signai
gun that those attentive TO custom may
hear every September Is. if ne had the
courage? This season especially, When mats
are so costly than one gets a shock on
looking cautiously in show WINDOW ana
reading the price cards, every man is ois-
posed TO stick to his straw, if for no other
reason than for economys sake.
But there are better excuses than the
mere saving of money that makes us regret
depositing the summer tile IN the garbage
can the middle Of September. The modern
straw hats are comfortable and easy, g
delight to the head of the wearer, and II
must be conceded that they appear smarter
and irnnart more Of an "air." 1t must be
admitted that men are not without VANITY,
even though it be small in amount and
diluted in comparison with that manifest
ed by the opposite sex. The straw hat al
ways looks well, no matter how piain or
how SNUG the wearer. 1t is therefore an ald
70 every eountenance 1t brings out the
good points and softens the lmperiec-
tions of the homely face.
Best of all, however, it is always com
Portable, and the wearer can go about
without feeling as though his Uranium were
ia wise or that he was carrying burden
of wool on his head, the experience that
comes with the adoption of the stiff derby
or the soft headgear.
Each year we part with our summer
hat with 80 much regret that We put 1t
away carefully in a dust-tight box, hoping
when summer comes again to resurrect 1t
and again enjoy its ample shade and cool
ness. But each recurring May brings It's
own offering of improved and more be-
coming tiling for the head and we yield
to the temptation-or to the fear OF hav-
ing been detected in the duplicity of
cleaning and wearing the last seasons hat
again.
What becomes Of the millions and mil
lions of discarded straw hats each year is
one of the mysteries of waste that is a
companion problem TO the unsolved query
where 90 the billions and billions of pins
that disappear every year and are never
found nor are they ever again discovered
except now and then singly they come to
Light.

MEDICINE IN BOOKS.

Long ago Sir Francis Bacon left the IN
junction: Read not to contradict and
refute, nor to believe and take Tor granted,
nor to find talk and discourse, but to
weigh and consider" To this, has now
been added: Read and get well. The
potential tonic stored in good books wisely
used as utilized today as never before.
Large public libraries now carry lists OF
books of use TO patients. The volumes
should be small light in weight and print
ed in large type to prevent any strain upon
the patient. Library books now, circu-
late in hospitals and patients look eagerly
for the arrival of the library truck.
The list of reading recommended for pa
tients includes light and entertaining flc-
tion, stories that men like, plays, satire,
humor and out-of-door books. Mystery
and detective stories are much used and
poetry IL found soothing to Iaded nerves.
To patients who would not have been al-
lowed TO read under the old regime, is now
granted the privilege, and they are sup
piled with books under proper direction
and selection.
During illness and convalescence there
is often more time for reading than has
ever been enjoyed before. From this time
of trial, from the pleasure a good book
yields, something may come to the patient
that will help him carry on bis normal life
and reeompense him for his enforced idle
ness.
Nowadays books arc being mobiliz ed
as never before and put to good uses OF
which their authors perhaps never dream

PROTECT THE WILD BEASTS.

Fresh protest is being sent out from
Audubon and sportsman clubs IN general
and from Prof William L. Hornaday
curato or at the New York Zoo, IN partlctl-
lar, against the ruthless manner IN which
American wild game is being slaughtered.
The claim is made that unless something is
done by legislatures and State authorities
TO nut forth a repressive hand the time is
not far distant when all wild game will be
exterminated 4 recall of the light license
hunting fee is urged with heavier penaliz-
ing of the pothunter, reduction III the size
of the bags" allowed, closer regulation
In the interest Of migratory birds and a
cessation of killing of big game in Alaska.
Professor HOrnaday expresses the tear
that mans rapacity and greed Tor wild
life now is so great that nothing Will avail
to save for the next century anything
more of it than ''mere tattered remnants
of a once glorious fauna-rats, mice and
English sparrows.
Ii is not so many wears ago that the
country was teening with untold millions
of wild pigeons. Where are they now? All
killed off by rapacious hunters. Wild duck
were going the same way. and would now
be a rarity, had not the Canadian govern
ment interfered, and with the requested
assistance of the United States govern
ment the open sale of wild fowl was pro-
hibited and the open season was limited.
This action has proved timely, as the m
creasing fiocks of wild fowl show. The
noble moose, now an object of extermina-
ton by the irrepressible hunter, will not
last long unless success shall attend the
protective efforts now being made to
Shield him in Maine and the northwest
as well as in the Hudson b y territory. The
practical exhibition of the american buf-
falo is one Of the scandals of history, with
only three small herds left, protected by
private ownerships, and specimens IN
various zoos over the country. The FUR
bearing seal was in fair way to become
lost except to memory, when the United
States government stepped IN to stop the
butehery and the herds are now again on
the increase. Other classes of wild game are
being reduced to the vanishing point, as
the west is being settled up, and 1t will
require the strictest kind of watchfulness
to prevent their being wiped out alto
