TIGHT HATS. They Impede Circulation In the Scalp and Invite Baldness. Ingenious men are continually con triving new kinds of shoes, new sus penders and hundreds of different kinds of braces, but so far, says the Therapeutic Gazette, no one has taken up the Idea of making a hat which will hold on the bead and not blow off and at the same time not bind the bead all around like a constricting band. Some men go without hnts at times With the idea that the hair Is Improved by ventilation and sunshine. Undoubt edly this does Improve It, but the prime secret is not in not wearing the hat at all. The ventilated hat will not pre vent baldness if this same hat be worn tightly around the head. If a string be tied ever so lightly around the lin ger the effect upon the circulation may be easily marked in the end of that finger. A tight hat will affect the circulation of the scalp in the same way. Hats which are easily blown off should never be worn, as they will not stay on unless jammed so tightly upon the bend as to Impede circulation. All stiff, rigid hats should be very light, and one should select a size larger than the head measurement and cor rect the over size, by inserting felt strips under the sweat band, thus giv ing a cushion-like effect and prevent ing the constriction at that portion of the scalp. FIRST POST HOUSES. , Established by Cyrus, the Founder of the Persian Empire. The first posts are said to have orig inated in the regular couriers estab lished by Cyrus the Great about 550 B. C, who erected post houses through out the kingdom of Tersla. Augustus was the first to introduce this institu tion among the Romans, CI B. C, and ho was imitated by Charlemagne about 800 A, D. Louis XI. was the first sovereign to establish post houses in France, owing to his eagerness for news, and they were also the first in stitution of this nature in Europe. This was in 1470, or about 2,000 years after they were started in Persia. In England in the reign of Edward IV. (1481) riders on post horses went stages of the distance of twenty miles from each other In order to procure the king the earliest Intelligence of the events that passed in the course of the war that had arisen with the Scots. A proclamation was issued by Charles I. In 1031 that, "whereas to this time there hath been no certain Intercourse between the kingdoms of England and Scotland, the king now commands his postmaster of England for foreign parts to settle a running post or two between Edinburgh and London to' go thither and come back again in six days." ' The Active Sloth Bear. "The sloth bear appears to be tho most active of all tho bears In tho zoo. Whoever misnamed tho animal ought to bestow a more appropriate title," said a woman visitor who sat on a bench In front of tho bear dens. "A more befitting designation would bo 'Ursus puglllstlcus' or something like that, for he is certainly the most pugnacious of all tho bruin specimens hero. And ho gets away with it, too, although ho weighs only 250 pounds. I saw him knock out the hairy eared bear in a fierce fight over a piece of meat, and he gets the better of the great Yezo bear of about 1,000 pounds In the adjoining luclosure. They fight through the bars. You can hear the snapping of the big bear's jaws as ho falls to catch his opponent.' But the nervous nloth bear is ns quick as a cat with his long claws and gets in a dig on tho other one's muzzle that makes him suort with pnlu." New York Sun. Salt and the Romans. Spilling of salt is a superstition still current among us. It is derived from tho ancient Itomnns, who used salt in their sacrifices and regarded it as sacred to Penates. To spill it careless ly was to incur tho displeasure of these household divinities. After ac cidentally spilling salt the ancient Ro man was wout to throw some over the left shoulder the shoulder of ill omen thereby hoplug to call away from his neighbor tho wrath of the Deity and turn it upon himself. Elephants' Love For Finery. Strango us it may seem, tho elephant Is passionately fond of finery nud de lights to see himself decked out with gorgeous trappings. The native princes of India are very particular in choos ing their state elephants and will give fabulous Bums for an animal that ex actly meets tho somewhat fanciful standards they have erected. For these they have made cloths of silk so heavily embroidered with gold that two men are hardly able to lift them. rearson's Weekly. Logical.
