WOULD TABOO
HAT TIPPING
(r
Count Johann Harrach, one of tho
greatest nobles In Austria, is heading
a movement to abolish hat raising
as a form of salutation and to sub
stitute the military salute. Tho sup
porters of the movement declare that
this exposure of the head Induces
cold, Influenza and other ailments,
and even baldness. It might also be
added that it causes hats to be worn
out much more rapidly than they
would otherwise be.
Austrian etiquette requires a man
to ralBe his hat to all -acquaintances,
male and female alike, as well as to
his social inferiors, such as cabmen
and servants. Hence anybody with
a tolerably large bowing acquain
tance is continually lifting his hat
as he goes along the streets. Count
Harrach Bays this may be all well
In a moderate clime, but In the cold
winters and broiling rummers of Vi
enna it is not at all a healthy prac
tice. And bo the count, despite tho
fact that he is nearly 80 years of ago
is heading a crusade against thtB
time honored custom. He proposes
Instead the military salute of merely
raising the hand to the head, and ho
thinks that among a people so famil
iar with the forms and usages as tho
Austrians are such an innovation
ought not to be difficult. It is after
all only going back to the custom of
300 years ago.
Count Harrach, however, is not tho
real originator of the movement.
Some months ago the authorities of
a small town in Bohemia attempted
to deal with the same question in a
summary manner. Convinced of the
physical evils resulting 'from this
exposing the head, the council passed
an ordinance prohibiting the practice
under penalty ot a line of one crown
(20 cents), the money to go to char
ity. But the citizens wouldn't stand
for any such rulings, and It was
found impossible t& enforce tho ordl-
nance. But 'now that a personago
of the great social eminence of Count
Harrach has taken the matter up the
result may bo different.
No Cheap Reformer.
For Count Johann von Harrach
van Rohrau and Thannhausen Is a
gentleman of the highest social Im
portance. To begin with, the Har
rachs have their place lu the second
divibion of the venerated Almanach
de Gotha, among tho mediatized
princely families which were at one
time reigning houses. The Harrachs
belong to the ancient feudal aristo
cracy of Bohemia, aud can trace
their ancestry back in unbroken lino
to 12S9. In 152D they became ba
ons of Rohrau, in lower Austria, and
later were raised to the dignity oi
counts, not only of Austria, but also
of the holy Roman empire. In 1552
the head of the family was appointed
hereditary grand master of tho Im
perial stables, a dignity which tho
present count now holds. Count
Johann was born in 1828, and has
been twice married, first to Princess
Lobkowitz and secondly to Princess
Marie Therese Thurn and Taxis, who
has the singular distinction of being
imperial mistress of the robes to
the emperor. She attends his majes
ty at all court functions, and makes
the presentations of the ladies who
are Introduced at court. Count
Harrach is a knight of tho Golden
Fleece and of the sovereign order of
Malta.
Business Man and rolitlcinn.
And he has besides great posses
sions; vast forest estates in Bohemia,
a magnificent castle at Prugg on tho
Hungarian frontier, and a palace in
Vienna. Prugg is on tho river Lel
tha, which separates Austria from
Hungary, and incidentally runs
through tho Harrach domain. Tho
count's azaleas there, are said to be
the finest in Europe. The picture
gallery in his Vienna palace contains
one of the most valuable private col
lections in the world. Among it are
magnificent examples of Velasquez,
Van Dyck, Claud Lorain and other
great artists of the Flemish, Dutch,
Italian, French and Spanish schools.
The palace has another adjunct, too
of a different character in the shape
of a retail glass store filled with
some of theflnest specimens of the
famous Bohemian crystal ware, dL
rect from the count's own factory.
The count Is one of the greatest man
ufacturers of fine glass in Europe.
His factories In Bohemia are exten
sive and turn out choice products.
Some of tho other Bohemian no
bles also have glass factories, which
were originally built many years ago,
right in the midst ot their forests, in
order to secure the cheapest fuel.
Despite his princely rank and high
social distinctions the count is not
above his business and takes the
keenest interest in everything con
nected with his glass factory and re-
tall store,
too. Anu wuai jb uvtu
markable In an Austrian no
bleman, he is a high authority in the
political world.

The Many Uses Of Paper
The time is here when dignified
Augusta, Maine, or graceful Rich
mond, Va or energetic Elizabeth,
N. J., or breezy Denver, Colorado,
may sweep aside the paper portiere
of her djessing room, attire herself
in her paper shirt and Invisible paper
shirtwaist, don her paper hat and,
taking along all tho paper money she
happens to havo handy, go down
town and buy a few more dozen of
the new paper napkins that go so
well with tho new paper tablecloths.
For tho age is at last ready to be
come an ago of paper, all the way
from the paper string that ties up
tho package of paper napkins to the
paper sheets between which Augus
ta, in Maine; Adelaide, in Australia;
Washington, Lincoln or Franklin, al
most anywhere In the United States,
can sleep for the paper covered fu
ture. Fanciful Frank Stockton, a gener
ation ago, made his escape from the
famous lady and the tiger the suc
cess which rendered It nearly Impos
sible for him to sell what he wrote
the story of tho penurious pinmaker
who slept under a blanket of news
papers not because the newspapers
of tho day put you to sleep, but be
cause newspapers at night were
warmer than woolen blankets.
It was a story that was all the
more amusing for being so true; and
not tho least truthful of its features
was tho declaration that a newspaper
Is one of the warmest things quite
apart from tho big type and colored
scarehead of today that humanity
can put Itself next to.
Streetcar conductors, on cold and
slushy days, often risk a quarrel at
the carbarn or a suspension by tho
superintendent by laying a thickness
of newspaper on the rear platform.

Any number of workers exposed to
long hours of cold find a newspaper
between coat and vest a bettor pro
tection than a chamoiB or woolen
chest protector as warm In fact, as
a rubber coat, without inducing tho
weakening perspiration of caout
chouc. Perhaps Stockton's story inspired
tho ever-inventive Germans to try
their hands at obtaining practical re
sults; perhaps it didn't. But the re
sults are here, anyway.
Process after process, patent after
patent, have conspired to make paper
common, ordinary paper availa
ble for yarn. The strange thing
about the outcomo of 20 years of ex
periment Is that the material made
of paper loses all Its heating proper
ties, and, in tho last analysis, adapts
Itself best to articles of apparel in
which warmth is not to be desired.
Spun From Paper Hands.
The manufacture Is not very In
tricate. Rags, wood almost any
thing that will make good paper
are ground into a pulp. The pulp,
drawn off on wire cloth drums,
forms narrow bands of paper which
are partly dried and then spun Into
yarn. Tno yarn can oo ocauiuuuj
dyed, and treatment witn cnemicais
gives it strength , elasticity and a
glistening smoothness.
One variety of tho paper yarn is
being used for the making of girdles,
suspenders, edgings and similar ma
terials. Another makes tablecloths,
towels, buckram, lining, sacking,
hangings, upholstery goods and even
rugs. It comes into service as an ally
of its predestined enemy cotton
for it is cotton that will be most af
fected, and moBt helped, by the now
article of commerce.
Wood pulp costs only ono-thlrd as
blocks
and
Matson
much as cotton and excellent rugs
and portieres are woven with tho
warps of cotton and tho woof of tho
paper yarn.
So it is Hkelyto cut down the sale
of cotton to an appreclabo degree, al
though the world Is growing bigger
every rtay. Southern planters need
not begin hunting mortgage money
for a long time yet.
The probability is that they will
welcome the new material eagerly,
for It is now conceded to solve tho al
ready desperate problem of just bag
ging for tho increasing cotton crop.
It Is amply strong enough, and It
lasts as long as jute ever dared to
last.
Not only has cord made of the
paper been used extensively for tying
up packages, but sacks made of wov
en paper have been found to glvo
good service as mall sacks.
Fish gelatin has lent to tho fabrics
made of paper a property which con
stitutes tho final test of practical
utility resistance to moisture.
They are wearable, pliable and frya
blo, for all anybody knows to tho
contrary.
Soaked in water for a day and a
night and then allowed to dry, they
prove to be as strong as ever, and
the only dllerence detected is a slight
shrinkage. There Is no doubt that
they would stand frequent exposure
to rain as well as, and possibly better
than, mnny cloths and muslInB now In
genoral use at much higher prices.
With the loss of tho heat-retaining
properties that characterize tho
ordinary sheet of paper, tho new
cloth becomes even cooler than cotton
for wear. as a garment. But that Is
an Immensely valuable asset, for it
makes the stuff peculiarly suited to
all warm climates and to tho torrid
summer season of mnny so-called
temperate zones.
A boon thrice blessed It can bo to
thousands 'of summer workers, as

hands of the designer. The most im
pressive triumph thus far achieved
has been the attainment of quality in

So tho paper age has arrived. Tho
