HAT SHOULD DENOTE MOOD
Why's and Wherefores of the Subject
Dealt With at Length by
T. English Writer.

I never put on a new hat without
certain feeling of pity for the mere
man who can never enjoy the delicious
thrill that it gives, writes J. NJ. in the
London Daily Mail.
But there is much to be gone through
before that triumphant moment arrives,
for the business of choosing a new hat
is fraught with nervous apprehension
lest our choice fall upon the wrong
shape or color. u
Only moral towards take refuge In
perpetual black headgear.
What, then, is it exactly that we feel
within ourselves as we step into the
open street for the first time in new
hat? Il
If the hat is an undoubted success,
it gives a peculiar sense Of elation-a
knowledge that she is looking her best
always makes woman feel her pref
tieSt! ~. ..~:r..-.&I -~tt.
Hats should be Indicative. Of the
moods Of the wSarer. Black for dig
nifty, dark blue for sobriety, brown for
calm days, red for hustling days
The hat with the nodding roses de-
notes gay midsummer mood, the
modest violet" toque makes a mute
appeal to romance. VI
The dashing cavalier Of hat with
sweeping plumes (none Of your glyc-
erined travesties, but well-nourished
billowy ostrich feathers) precludes
an adventure, while the Quaker gray
toque with the floating veil goes with
demure, downcast eyes.
But for real happiness give me the
: old felt hat that lives at the back or
the wardrobe and has survived the
turning OUT Of many years. AS we
cram this old friend on to our head
with a pull at the brim to shade the
eyes, the cool air Of the uplands comes
to meet us even as we reach for stick
and pass out through the open door
on the road which leads back to the
land of happy memories.

Vanishina Lariauaaes.

Nowhere in America has there been
such diversity Of Indian languages
as in California. But these languages
are now rapidly disappearing. Several
of them are known only by five or
six, and others only by twenty or
thirty living persons, and hardly a
year passes without some dialect, or
even language, ceasing to exist
through the death Of the last indi-
vitluul able to speak it. Efforts are
being made to record all these Ian
guages for the sake of the light they
throw on the ancient history Of the
Pacific coast.-Washingto Star.

GOOD
ROADS
FIND ASPHALT BY ACCIDENT
Discovered in Switzerland and Used
for Purpose of Extracting vaiu-
..-~ able Bitumen. 81"

Asphalt, though covering thousands
of miles Of roads in all countries, was
discovered quite by accident. In the
middle Of the last century it was
found in Switzerland in it's natural
state, and used for the purpose of ex-
tracing the valuable store Of bitumen
it contained. In time it was noticed
that pieces of rock which fell from
the wagons, and were crushed by the
wheels, formed a very fine road sur
face when half melted by the heat Of
the sun.
An experiment was made and road
Of asphalt laid in Paris. 1t was so
successful that the new road material
became adopted through all the big
towns of Europe. -ser.,
ALI sorts OF materials have been
tried since, from rubber to seaweed.
1t is very likely, in fact, that in the
future the streets of our big cities
will be paved with some form Of rub
Der mixture which will be practically
noiseless. Very extensive experiments
have already been carried out with
such mixture. q
In New York several streets are
paved with steel, and steel road has
been in use in Valencia, in Spain, for
the last 20 years. Perhaps the most
curious material for a road is sea-
weed. This compressed into solid
blocks, is used to pave the streets of
Baltimore. These seaweed blocks are
bound with wire and dipped into boil
ing tar before being put to use.

A Pronounced Argument

The other day we heard of a couple
of fellows in a barber shop discussing
the irish situation, but up until time
of going to press, we hadn't noticed
that the discussion had changed the
situation much. A part of the dis
cussion was the proper way to pro-
nounce Dali Eirann. The older of the
two gentlemen declared it was pro-
nounced Dali Eirann, while the other
wouldn't have it pronounced any
other way but Dali Eirann. Just to
settle that point of the argument,
the barber said that he knew that it
should be pronounced Dali Eirann.
