Will you believe that most of the dyes which have stained tbe fab­ rics of your clothes, that tbe naphtha and benzine which your tailor uses In removing stains and that even tbe sweetest perfumes are all of them de­ rivatives of coal. It was once said by a scientist, clev­ erer and more imaginative than mos t of bis kind, that coal is “buried sun­ shine.” Something of tbe enormous extent of ancient coal forming jungles tnay be conceived when it is said that our present forests would produce only two or three inches of coal if they, too, were subjected to a carbouUln. process. The magicians who have wrong’ll wonders with coal are the gasmaker and the chemist. If coal Is burned la the open air, heat Is produced and nothing left but a little ash. Burn it to a closed vessel, however, and tbe marvelous change occurs, in tbe first place, coal gas Is produced and. chem­ ically treated. Is supplied to every city home. Furthermore, ammonia is ob­ tained, Important In modern agricul­ ture because by its means plants can be artificially supplied with the nitro gen they need. Then, again, asphalt is produced, much used in roadmaklhg although the retort is not the chief source of its supply, Lastly, a black. noisome ooze is collected which goer by the name of “coal tar.” It is this which at the touch of the modern I chemist’s wand Is transformed into the most widely different substances im­ aginable. The wonders of coal tar do not cease here. It is a palette of gorgeous co! ors, a medicine chest of potent drugs, a whole arsenal of terrible explosives, a vial of delicious flavors and a garden of perfumes—the most protean, varie­ gated substance In tbe world.—London Pall Mall Magazine. THE HAT HABIT. A Custom That Is Neither Besoming Nor Health Giving. Why do both men and women persist to wearing hats? asks rearson’s Maga­ zine. There are three reasons why we should wear clothes. We may wear them for the sake of decency, for the sake of warmth and for the sake of dis­ play. None of these reasons applies to the wearing of hats. Of course there are head coverings that are warm, such as the Icelander's sealskin hood and the fisherman's toque; hut. as a rule, there is no real warmth In the bat of either sex. When a woman pins 1 slight structure of straw and artificial flowers on the top of her hair she tev- >r for an Instant imagines that the thing will keep her from taking cold The masculine top hat Is certainly warm on a hot day, but It is very far from warm to cold weather. Neither are hats worn for the pur- pose of display. Doubtless there are times when women make the hat the occasion of displaying their fondness for dead birds, muslin flowers and otli er beautiful objects, but this is only when fashion has decreed that big bats shall be worn. At other times the fe­ male hat Is so microscopically small that ft could not be successfully used for displaying anything. As f >r men's hats, they never display anything ex­ cept the atrocious taste -which makes them fashionable. Why, then, in the name of all that is sensible, do men and women wear hats? As a rule, every man and every wo­ man looks better without a hat than with one. This is why we all take off our hats at the opera or at an evening party, and yet we cling to a custom that has not a word to l>e said In Its be­ half. We persist In wearing the ugly, useless and Injurious hat. Why do we do It? I should like to And a good Irish echo that would answer the question nt length and to a satisfactory way. Just Breaking In. Up to tbe age of sixteen Dick had re­ tained the proper scorn for things feminine; then he went to danclug school and fell smitten by the charms of several youthful Eves. Accordingly Dick approached bls father and re quested theater tickets for two. Father complied and merely asked as he turned over the seats, “Which girl Is ttr “I'm going to take Mabel,” responded Dick. "Then she’s the one you like best?" father continued. Dick turned a superior and pitying eye upon bls parent. "Oh. no; I don’t like her best! You don’t understand the situation, father.

Sashes, This choicest of seventeenth century scoundrels was boru probably in Ire- land in or about 1618. During tbe civil war he was active on tbe parliamen­ tary side, was made a justice of the peace by Heury Cromwell and received large grains of land. These were con­ fiscated at the restoration, and Blood forthwith began bls career as a des­ Agents for the Great Western Saw perado. His first plot was to seize Dublin cas­ tle and the person of the Duke of Or­ monde. the lord lieutenant, in 1663. A crowd was to be collected at the castle The Most Reliable Merchants in Tillamook County gates, a pretended baker with a load of bread upon his shoulder was to •J ? stumble and upset tbe loaves, and In the scramble which would probaLly eu- sue among the castle guards the gates were to be-seized, but the plot was be­ trayed to Ormonde, and, although Blood himself escaped, bls brother-to- law was arrested and executed. After a period of seclusion among the Irish bills and in Holland. Blood cross­ ed to England and joined the fifty mon­ archy men. After one or two minor deeds of daring he planned and nearly carried out a desfierate stroke in 1670. In that year the Trince of Orange visit­ ed England and was entertained by the city of London. In his train on the oc­ casion was the Duke of Ormonde, against whom Blood nursed undying hale. The duke was dragged from his coach in St. James street by Blood and his son-in-law, strapped on horseback to one of the conspirators and hurried toward Tyburn. So determined was tbe prime mover in the affair that his enemy should die that he hurried on toward the gallows to arrange the rope. Tbe duke's coachman gave the alarm and followed Ills master with assist­ ance, and a timely rescue was effected. Ou May 9 In the following year Blood made his great attempt to carry off the Tower jewels. He set about the task in quite a modern style. Some three weeks before tbe attempt he and a wo­ man whom he represented as bls wife —his real wife being then In tbe north of England—visited the Tower, where the lady feigned a sudden illness.
