It Is derived from the ancient Romans, who used salt in their sacrifices and regarded it as sacred to Penates. To spill it carelessly rfas to incur the displeasure of these household divinities. After accidentally spilling salt tbe ancient Roman was wont to throw some over the left shoulder tbe 6honlder of ill omen thereby hoping to call away from his neighbor the wrath of tbe Deity and turn it noon himself. Elophants' Love For Finery. Strange as It may seem, the elephant Is passionately fond of finery and delights to see himself decked out with gorgeous trappings. The native princes of India are very particular In choosing their state elephants and will give fabulous sums for an animal that exactly meets the 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. Pearson's Weekly. Logical.

Established by Cyrus, tha Founder of tha Persian Empire. The first posts are said to have originated in the regular couriers established by Cyrus the Great about C50 B. C, who erected pest houses throughout the kingdom ef Persia. Augustus was the first to introduce this institution among tbe Remans, 31 B. C, and be was Imitated by Charlemagne about 800 A, D. Louis XL was the first sovereign ta establish post bouses in France, owing to bis eagerness . for news, and they were also tbe first institution of this nature In Europe.. This was in 1470, or about 2,000 years after they were started In Persia. In England In tbe reign of Edward IV. (14S1) 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 tba course of the war that bad arisen with tha Scots. A proclamation was Issued by Charles I. in 1G31 that "whereas ta this time there hath beep no certain intercourse between the kingdoms of England and Scotland, tbe king now commands bis postmaster of England for foreign parts to settle a running post or two between Edinburgh and London to go thither and coma back again in six days." Tha Active Sloth Boar. "The sloth bear appears to be tbe most active of all tbe bears in the zoo. Whoever misnamed tbe animal ought to bestow a more appropriate title," said a woman visitor who sat on a bench in front of the bear dens. "A more befitting designation would be 'Ursus puglllstlcus' or something like that, for be is certainly the most pugnacious of all the bruin specimens here. And he gets away with it. too. although be 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 tbe great Yezo bear of abont 1.000 pounds in the adjoining inelosure. They fight through tbe bars. You can bear the snapping of tbe big bear's jaws as he fails to catch his opponent. But the nervous sloth bear is as quick as a cat with his long clawa and gets la a dig on the other one's muzzle that makes him snort with pain." New York Sun. Cincinnati, connecting with F. F. V.

TIGHT HATS.

They Imped Circulation In tha Sea's) and Invito Baidnasa. Ingenious men are continually contriving new kind' of shoes, new suspenders :usd 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 head and not blow off and at the same time nut bind the head all around like a constricting band. Some' men go without bat at times wtth the idea that the hair Is Improved by ventilation and sunshine. Undoubtedly this does Improve it. but the prime secret is not In nut wearing the bat at all. The ventilated hat will not prevent baldness If this same hat be worn tightly around the head. If a string be tied ever no lightly around the finger the effect wn the circulation may be easily r.uirked In the end of that finder. A tisht hat will affect tha circulation of the scalp in the same way. nats which are easily blown off should never be worn, as they will not stay on unless jammed so tightly upou the head as to impede circulation. All stiff, rigid hats should be very light, and one should select a site larger than the head measurement and correct the orer nine by Inserting felt strips under the sweat band, thus giving a cushloc-tike effect and preventing the constriction at that portion of the scalp. SS95 A Cool and Comfortable Frock for the Little Girl. Simplicity and comfort combine to make this garment attractive and pleasing.
