HATS IN PAHL.AME IT
They Are Important Factor« In the Brit
ish Ix»wer Hooee.
Of all the customs and traditions that
still cling to the bouse of commons,
oven in tins matter of fact age, the hat
plays the most important part. In the
last century one of the speakers permit
ted the introduction of orange«, and
even nuts, if they were not loudly crack
ed, on the plea that they were not “tan
giblo articleaof food.’’ But, soma yeair
after, this decision was reversed Fy an
other speaker, who, on high medioal au
thority, declared that as It would be
possible to support life on either of these
two vegetables they must be considered
tangible products, and their public con
sumption would, therefore, not be per
mitted. Out of this decision a custom
arose, which, not being checked, slowly
deepe ned into a tradition. The dey^r^y
which Bobby Lowe exhibited
tea*
furring a packet of sandwiches -**•"'5 one
of the side pockets of the rexnarL*».ble
coats be used to affect to the Interior of
his hat and the way in which he would
use his headgear to conceal the process
of mastication were, it is said, sights tc
behold.
The ocoupanta of the ministerial and
front opposition benches are able tc
moisten their thr<»ats during the delivery
of a speech with a little liquid, but, al
though the private member is not ex
presslv excluded from the participation
in this privilege, no provision is made
for the consumption of any lubricant he
may require. The traditions of the house
alluw him to conceal a tandwich or s
biscuit iu his pocket, but nut a bottle.
Any honorable member may have a
glass of water, but, while the leading
members of the opposition have the great
central table on which to deposit theii
glasses of water—which is not supposed
to be qualified by the introduction of
any other liquid, ahem I—the private
member is expected to hide his glass In
his hat.
It la really as ton ie hi ng what an im
portant feature the hat plays in the de
liberations of our legislators. As no pri
vat? member can claim by right any
particular scat in the house, except in s
few <wa where members are tacitly al
lowed to appropriate certain points of
vantage, a hat has to be deposited be
forehand as an intimation that the seat
is iccured. On ordinary nights a seat
can be retained by a card being inserted
in the slip provided at the back of each
seat fur that purpose, but when a de
bate of more than usual interest is ex
pected the hat is the medium employed.

To him who iu the love of the capi
tal holds coiiiniuuiou with its daily vis
itors the y sj»eak a various language.
Which, being interpreted mean« that
if one frequent the capital and liaien to
what one may hear there lie will bear
some right funny things.
Not n great while ago there was a
small party of persons from some one of
the outlying Maryland or Virginia dis
tricts. presumably the latter, as the mud
on their shoes was redder than Mary
land mild, who were seeing the sights
of the magnificent building under the
direction of one of those useful adjuncts
to the cause of education, a capital
guide.
The party had got as far as the ro
tunda and were gazing on the paintings,
works of art, and so forth, in that cir
cular collection of movable and immov
able creations, when a handsome man
came < ut of the entrance leading from
the house and pasmtl in review.
“That.” said the guide, designating
the g< nth man passing, “is the hand
bomest membt r of coiigr«*sa. “
“Is that so?’’ responded the oldest
woman in the party, one of that shary
faced, sharp tongued kind of elderly
women one always wants to hear talk
and still is always in fear lest he heat
something that would rut a hole in him.
Then, without waiting to bear what
further the guide might have ta say on
the subject, she moved around where
she could get a view of the beautiful
legislator as long as he was in sight,
and fairly feasted her eyv« on him in
fascinated silence.
Seme minutes later another “object
of interest” passed the party
“Ther»‘ goes the smartest man in con
gress." said the guide.
“Is that so?” responded the elderly
woman in exactly the same tone ae be
fore, and she at once manifested an ex
actly similar interest in this one and
watcb<d him until he had passed out of
sight.
bra« lung as live minutes thereaft
er she was silent and walked aimlrasly
behind the ethers, looking at those won
derful pictures on the wills, but not
seeing them.

SUFFERERS FROM “FLAT FEET.”
When a mas
How the Breaking; Down of the An li 1«
Krvnc«liv«t.
Despite the fact that the beauty of n
well-arched foot ■.,*■ much appreciate»!
by people of an artistic turn of mind,
luu. been sung frequently by poets au<l
venae makers, there has been until late
ly little interest, from a scientific |>oint
of view, taken in its direct opposite-
i thc flat foot. In a great number of in
stances tint feet are the occasion of
considerable keen suffering, generally
resulting fix» in the breaking down of
the arch that is, the displacement of
seme of the many little Itonea of the
foot, either from overstrain or some
dincuse of the muscular structure. As
the weight of the Issly constantly rests
upon, the foot there, is no opportunity
tor the bones to get back to their
proper places.
The result is that these little bone»
keep rubbing against each other, and
the ¡min gets more and more severe.
Commonly the persons afflicted in this
way think that he or she has rheuma
tisni and let it go at that. Until re
cently the only remedy was a steel-
soled shoe tluit was clumsy and heavy.
The new device is interesting. It m an
“insole,” curved to tit the foot, made
of a bent strip of steel and acting .is a
spring. It is covered either with leath
er or with vulcanized rubber Io ¡»re
vent rusting, and, needing no fasten
ing, but simply to be ¡»laced in ¡»oNition,
it can be changed from one shoe to an
other at will.
In position it acts simply as a sup
port, literally holding up the ls>nes,
and giving them an opportunity to slip
back into their proper places. While
any "insole” of the approximate shape
will give relief, the l»est results are
reached only when one is especially
made from a cast or impression of the
foot. A great proportion of the peo-
ple troubled with Hat feet come from
the north of Eur<»|»e, many of them
from the lowl&nds of Germany. The
inhabitants of the south of Europe,
strangely enough, are seldom troubled
with anything «»< the sort. Their in
steps, especially in the case of women,
are nearly always highly arched and
finely formed.—N. Y. Tribune.
