Man' Headgear Waa Firat Fashioned After His Habitation. It has been pointed cot that the form of the hat bears a certain rela tion to buildings of a primitive nature huts. A dlatlngnlabed architect haa Invited attention to the curious re semblance that has ex luted and that is till to be found In many countries be tween headgear and habitations or other buildings. It may be that the same taste, or the lack of it, baa given rlne to the similarity of style, or In the beginning the designer of the bat may have taken the hut as a model. In the Hawaiian Islands, long before the inhabitants took the trouble to clothe themselves, they built grasa bouses, and at the present time the characteristic Hawaiian hat is remark ably like the hut The turbans of the dignitaries of the eastern church are still of the shape of those worn by the high priests among the Jews of olden times, and they are extraordinarily like the characteristic domes that surmount mosqnes. Again, it Is pointed out, the high pointed spires of Gothic churches were con temporaneous with the high hornlike headdress known as the hennln. It Is beilved. too, that like reunite may be found after a comparison of other styles of archltectuure with the heádgcar of the period wherein they flourished. Harper's Weekly. GOOD LUCK IN A POSE. Aooidental 8uooss Won Through Gladstone Photograph. "In literature," said a publisher, "popular success frequently comes by accident A remarkable case was that of J. H. Shorthouse. This man, poor chemist, spent some years writing a book called 'John Inglesant' But the publishers would have none of 'John Inglesant.' and Anally Mr. Shorthouse printed 100 copies at his own expense, "Only forty of these copies sold, one purchaser being photographer. The photographer took Mr. Gladstone's pic ture some weeks later, and the old man chose a studious pose, sitting with a volume in his hand. He bent in absorption over the work, which hap pened accidentally to be 'John Ingle sant,' and in the thousands of copies of the photograph that were sold the book's name was plainly to be made out "Mr. Gladstone was regarded aa a great critic, and the people thought be desired to recommend 'John Ingle sant' What was the result? Within the year 300,000 coplea of 'John Ingle sant had been sold, and Shorthouse was a made man." Asasslz and the Girle. Concerning Louis Agasnlz, naturalist when a professor at Harvard, this story is told by James Kendall Hoe mer In his "The Last Leaf:" "As he strode homeward from his walks In the outer fields or marahes we eyed him gingerly, for who could tell what he might have in his pockets T Turtles, tadpoles, snakes, any old monster, might be there. He was on the friend liest terms with things 111 reputed, even abhorrent and could not under stand the qualms of the delicate. He was said to have held up once in all Innocence, before a class of school girls, a wriggling snake. The shrieks and confusion brought him to a sense of what he had done. He apologized elaborately, the foreign peculiarity he never lost running through bis con fusion. 'Poor girls, I vUl not do it again. Next time I Till bring In a nice, clean leetle feesh.' Agassis took no pleasure in shocking his class. On the contrary, he was most anxious to engage and hold them." The Unsociable Little Fellow. At dinner during a voyage to Cor sica, to which my father invited the passengers who included some officers of his regiment and two Corslcana. he requested an officer, M. de Belloc. to call a young man who waa wearing the uniform of the military school and reading at the end of the boat The young man refused. M. de Belloc csme back irritated and said to my father: "I ahould like to throw the unsociable little fellow into the aea. He has an unpleasant face. Will you grant me permission, colonel?" "No," said my father, laughing, "and I am not of your opinion. His face shows character, and I am sure that be will be heard of some day." The unsociable fellow waa the future Emperor Napoleon. From Memoirs of Comtesse de Bolgne. Ths Roaetta Stone. The Rosetta stone waa found In 1700 by a French enslneer officer In an ex. cavation made near Rosetta.

In honor of Ptolemy Eplpbanes because he remitted the dua of thm priestly body.

How and Why Did It Disappear From England In 1847? Why did the plague disappear from England? Mr. Bernard Shaw Inci dentally asks this deeply interesting question in a letter to the Nation, and we cannot say that we are satisfied with his answer. He says he "knows" that plague haa been "extirpated" by "common sanitation." Until the recent sporadic Imported tases, the last recorded cases of plague In England occurred at Nottingham in 10(17. In that year plague vanished ut terly from England for two and a half centuries. No one who has examined the records of the seventeenth century can believe that It waa "extirpated" by sanitation. Very gradually In tbe suc ceeding century and a half plague withdrew from Europe also. Tbe date of its disappearance from Constantinople has been fixed at about tbe year 1841. It remained endemic only In a few lonely places In the world, such as tbe highlands of west ern Arabia, Yunnan in China and Mes opotamia. Sanitation, though an ex cellent palliative, certainly never drove the plague from Stamboul and Cairo and the southern Mediterranean, any more than it did from England. Tbe shrinkage of plague is as great mystery as the recent outburst which Infected the whole world. Perhaps the explanation is that In a few years bac teria may go through tbe myriad trans forming processes of evolution which in the case of humanity take eons to complete. Pan Mall G aserto. HIS VISIT TO MORGAN. There Waant Muoh Said, but It Waa All Right to the Point. A well known Insurance official said tbe other day at the Auditorium, in Chicago: "In the beginning of my career, when I was only a humble insurance agent i gained access one morning to the au gust and formidable presence of J. Plerpont Morgan." "No!" : "Tes," the official Insisted "yea, ire a fact Don't ask me how I did It though, for that's a secret But at 10 o'clock one morning behold me. a young Insurance agent standing be fore tbe desk of tbe great J. Plerpont with my big envelope of life and death statistics, twenty year endowments, and so forth, in my hand. I waa, I have aluce learned, the first and only insurance agent who ever managed to meet Mr. Morgan face to face." "Well, what happened?" " 'Mr. Morgan,' I began hurriedly, 'you ought to carry more life Insurance. You see, sir' "And lucidly and cogently and brief ly, wasting no words, I laid my insur ance proposition before tbe great finan cier. "He listened in silence. Those fierce blue eyes of his bored through me like lancea. When I stopped at last all he said waa: " How did you get In heref " 'I walked in,' 1 answered. "'Well,' said he, walk out'" New York Tribune. Why Elephants Fear Mloe. It seems Incredible that ao small and harmless an animal as a mouse Is able to frighten an elephant almost out of Its senses. One little mouse In the hay on which they are feeding will stampede an entire herd. In their na tive land there are little animals, known as chacanas, which feed on a small, sour berry of which elephants are very fond. They Uve In settle ments, something after tbe manner of prairie doga, under the berry buahea. When feeding, .the elephants trample tbe little towns, and the chacanas. In their fright run up the tubes of the elephants' trunks. Their long, sharp claws catch in the flesh, and they can not be ejected. The more violently tbe monster blows through its colled trunk the more firmly tbe booked clawa of the little animal become imbedded In the flesh. Inflammation and death are tbe result In captivity tbe elephants think they are In danger of the deadly chacanas when they see a mouse. Malaria. Malaria haa been recognized since the days of Hippocrates as one of tbe most formidable and destructive of maladies, the more formidable because it waa supposed. In accordance with the name which Maecullob adapted Cr'lt from the Italian less than a century ago, to be caused by a per vasive venom In tbe air. But alnce tbe epochal observations of Laveran, the labors of GoUri and bis colleagues and tbe experimental and discoveries of Roes it has loat much of Its mys terious terror, and tbe sure way to Its prevention and extirpation baa been revealed. New York Tribune. Making a Cholos. "Don't you love the merry prattle oí the children V "Yea," replied Mr, Orowcher. with some hesitation "that la to say, I'd rather bear Freddie and WHUe prattle than learning to play the bugle and the snare druir."

"Yes; almost aa grotesque aa a man In a baseball catcher's outfit or a foot ball suit" Exchange. A rol d Sedative Coach Medicines.

Adv, ' WILY KING EDWARD L Fooled the Rebellious Welsh With the Prinoa of Wales. After a llfeloag struggle with the Welsh, Edward L of England sought to ascertain the cause of their constant rebellion and was Informed that they would never be content until they had a prince of their own. The wily old monarch asked them If a prince born In Wales who could not apeak a word of English would be sat isfactory, and they received the offer with great enthusiasm, presuming that the king meant one of their own flesh and blood. Hie queen, about to give birth to a child, was hurried to the famous Caer narvon castle, where 600 years ago Edward IL, the first prince of Wales, waa born. Thereupon King Edward, carrying the newly born babe on tbe ramparts of the castle, announced to tbe multitude: "Here Is your prince, born In your own conn try, who knows no word of English and who, I promise you, shall be reared by a Welsh foster mother and shall learn your language. Accept you him as your prince?" In all the six centuries Intervening the eldest son of the king of England has been Invested and known aa tbe Prince of Wales. In the year 1911 the present Prince of Wales and the future king of England was Invested on the same spot as his predecessor 600 years ago. T. Owen Charles In National Magaslne. HEAT AND THE BODY. We Aro Able to Drink Liquids That ",. Would 6oald Our Hands. The human body can stand far greater heat if it be dry than if It be wet and, strangely enough, It can stand far hotter liquids Inside than out For example, the average tea drinker sips tea at a temperature of about 140 degrees BV sometimes as high aa 145 degree. But be cannot bear bla hands In water at 130 degrees or his feet in water higher than 112 degrees. Few people can stand a bath in water at 106 degrees. In parta of central 'Anstraila men live In an average temperature of 110 degrees F. in tbe abade and 140 de gress In the sun, while 1S1 degrees has been registered, in tbe Persian gulf tbe thermometers on ships vary between 122 degrees and 14a A re cent explorer in the Himalayas re ports that be found at 0 a. m. in De cember and at more than 10,000 feet altitude a temperature of 181 degrees F.
