The Name Gutta Percha.
Gotta percha derives Its name from
the Malayan words gueta, a gum, and
percha, a cloth. It was Introduced :o
the civilized world In 1842 by Doctor
Montgomery, a Scottish surgeon.
HIS COSTiy DERBY
Abundant Reasons Why Owner
Clings to Headpiece.
Merely at an Investment It Muet Ba
Conceded ae Deserving Care, and
la Worthy of Respect ao
Thing of Value.
It Is omy a plain derby, beglnninf
to have the permanent duskiness of a
peach. In eplte of frequent trips to tha
hat specialist for rehabilitation. It
has no claim whatever to any Individ*
nallsm, outside of the Initials, which
are Inside and don't show anyway. It
does not do me Justice, either. And
at any angle I place It, It gives me a
tophoavy appearance.
So why do I cling to It? Why?
Because anything that costs as much
money as that derby, deserves not only
care as an Investment, but respect as
a thing of value. People don’t laugh
at the Kohlnoor diamond, do they?
They never poke fun at the Great
Ruby? Then why should they ba
amused at my derby?
It cost a great deal of money. Tha
first time I bought It, I mean when I
selected It In the hat shop and paid for
It. supposing that It was wholly mine,
the price was four dollars. The pay
ing over of four of my dollars to the
hat man gave me, at least to my sim
ple. one-track mind, sole right and ti
tle against all pretenders until the end r
of the world. But only a simple mind
could believe a thing like thnt.
Alas, like many other things In this
surprising worm, u was not uiy ueruy.
It never has been and probably never
will be. For I have been buying It
ever since the first sale In the shop,
almost like one does on the Instalment
plan. Only the Instalment plan entails
a set expenditure each week or month {
you know Just what It Is going to bs
and can be prepared for It.
But when you get your derby from
a hat boy or hat girl In hotel, restau
rant. theater or wherever the grafters
are permitted, you do not know what
It will cost you. It all depends on the
hauteur of the hat boy or girl la
charge. Some of them have the ap
pearance that anything tendered less
than fifty cents would be faux pas be
yond thought. Then the surroundings
play such an Important part In gaug
Ing the amount of blood money, or hat
money. Just as you desire to designate
It. A mass of towering palms, much
marble and occasional rugs, means a
ransom. Less marble and only on# or
two palms mean less Indemnity. And
simple mahogany and no palm mean
ten cents.
Why do men ever select such 8
piece of headgear In the first place!
I know why they hang onto It after
they get It, but what can be the rea
son for wanting one In the beginning!
They are not 'beautiful on or off ths
head. They are hard to keep clean.
Also they dent very easily and grow
shabby without an effort It Is a mys
tery.
There Is no sentiment In my case
toward my derby. I respect It, ths
same ns I respect anything that cost*
a lot of money, but I don't love It. I
don’t gaze at It with the tenderness
I bestow on my tulln bed. nor do I look
at It with the fondness which my old
briar pipe Inspires. These I would
not part with.
But anyone who will advance to me
one-tenth the sum which I have paid
out may become the owner of one
black derby, a trifle fuzzy perhaps, but
still capable of exciting the envious
eyes of hat boys and hat girls.—Harry

8nalla In Aquariums.
A large glass tank Is not necessary
for a house aquarium, says Boys’ Life.
Small. Inexpensive glass boxes that
make desirable Indoor aquaria, as well
as glass tubs and Jars, may be ob
tained from dealers.
Do not buy a glass globe for an
aquarium. These give a distorted view
of the contents and are evidently un
comfortable for their animal Inmates.
Goldfish are pretty and Interesting,
but they are common In such globe*
and not enough can be learned from
them by the average student of na
ture'. Fit up the aquarium as If yon
Intended It for goldfish, then get some
thing else.
Ton can catch many things, but do
not put too many Into one aquarium.
One of the most Interesting aquatlO
animals Is the comraop water snail.
These are ordinarily kept In gold
fish aquaria as scavengers, to clean
up the debris and take off the green
material that grows on the sides of
the glass. Moat people think of snails
as aids In keeping the aquarium clean,
but they are In themselves real objects
of Interest.
