HUTS AND HATS.
Man's Hsadgear Was First Fashioned
After His Habitation.
It has been pointed out that the
form of the hat liears a certain rela
tion to buildings of a primitive nature
—huts. A distinguished architect has
Invited attention to the curious re
semblance that has existed and that la
still 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 lt> has given
rise to the similarity of style, or In
the beginning the designer of the bat
may have taken the hot as a model.
In the Hawaiian Islands, long before
the inhabitants took the trouble to
clothe themselves, they built grass,
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 iposqnes. Again.
It Is pointed out. the high pointed
splras of Gothic churches were con
temporaneous with the high hornlike
headdress known as the hennin.
It Is bellved. too. that like results
may be found after a comparison of
other styles of archltectuure with the
headgear of the period wherein they
flourished.—Harper’s Weekly.
GOOD LUCK IN A POSE.
Accidental Success Won Through a
Gladstone Photograph.
“In literature,” said a publisher,
“popular success frequently comes by
accident. A remarkable case was that
of .7. H. Shorthouse. This man. a poor
chemist, spent some years writing a
book called ‘John Inglesant’ But the
publishers would have none of ‘John
Inglesant’ and finally Mr. Shorthouse
printed 100 copies at his own expense
“Only forty of these copies sold, one
purchaser being a photographer. The
photographer took Mr. Gladstone’s pic
ture some weeks later, and the old
man chose a studious poRe. 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 as a
great critic, and the people thought
he desired to recommend ‘John Ingle
sant.’ What was the result? Within
the year 300.000 copies of ‘John Ingle
sant’ had been sold, and Shorthouse
was a made man.’’
Agassiz and the Girls.
Concerning Louis Agassiz, naturalist,
when a professor at Harvard, this
story is told by James Kendall Hos
iner In his “The Last Leaf:’’ “As he
strode homeward from his walks in
the outer fields or marshes we eyed
him gingerly, for who could tell what
he might have in his pockets? Turtles,
tadpoles, snakes, any old monster,
might be there. He was on the friend
liest terms with things ill 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 be
never lost running through his con
fusion. ‘Poor girls. I vlll not do it
again. Next time 1 vlll bring in a
nice, clean leetle feesh.’ Agassiz 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 Corsicans,
he requested an officer. M. de Belloc,
to call a young man who was wearing
the uniform of the military school and
reading at the end of the boat The
young man refused. M. de Belloc
came back irritated and said to my
father: “I should like to throw the
unsociable little fellow into the sea.
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 show* character, and 1 am sure
that he will be heard of some day.”
The unsociable fellow was the future
Emperor Napoleon.—From Memoirs of
Comtesse de Boigne.
The Rosetta Stone.
The Rosetta stone was found In 1799
by a French engineer officer in an ex
cavation made near Rosetta. It has
an inscription in three different lan
guages. the hieroglyphic, the demotic
and the Greek. It Was erected 1915
B C. in honor of Ptolemy Eplpbanes
because he remitted the dues of the
priestly body. The great value of the
Rosettn stone lies In the fact that It
furnished the key whereby the Egyp
tian hieroglyphics were deciphered.
Woman’a Wile*.
“What a bold Maud seems to have on
all her rejected suitors.”
“Why shouldn’t Bbe. the artful thing!
She always tells a man when she re
fuses him that she Is afraid to marry a
handsome man because she would be
so Jealous.”—Cincinnati Enquirer.
Labor and Ganius.
The common Idea Is the more labor
the leas genius—in other words, the
greater the labor the worse the art.
The truth Is exactly the opposite.
Aspiration sees but one side of every
question, possession many.- Lowell.
