Stery Of Robin Adair.

The hero of "Robin Adair" was well
known in the London fashionable cir
cles of the last century by the sobri-
quet of the fortunate Irishman," but
his parentage and exact date of his
birth is unknown. He was brought up
as a surgeon, but "his detection in an
early amour drove him precipitately
from Dublin" to push his fortunes in
England. Scarcely had he crossed the
channel when the chain of lucky events
that ultimately led him to fame and for
! tune commenced. Near Holyhea per-
ceiving a carriage overturned he ran to
render assistance. The sole occupant
of the vehicle was 'lady of fashion,
we'll known il polite circles" who re-
ceived Mr.. Adair's attentions with
thanks, and, being slightly hurt and
hearing that he was a surgeon, reques-
ed him to travel with her in her car
riage to London. On their arrival in
the metropolis, she presented him with
fee of one hundred guineas, and gave
him q general invitation to her house.
In after life Adair used to say it was
not so much the amount of the fee, but
the time it was given, that was of ser
vice to him, as he was then almost dcs-
.itute. But the invitation to her house
was q still greater service, for there he
met the person who decided his fate in
life. This was Lady Caroline Keppel,
daughter of the secsna Earl of Alber-
Easrle and Lady Anne Lennox,
slaughter of the first Duke of Rich
mond. Forgetting her high lineage,
Lady Caroline, at first sight OF the
Irish surgeon, fell desperately in love
with him; and her emotions we're SO
sudden and violent as to attract the
general attention of the company.
Adair, seeing his advantage, lost no
time in pursuing it; while the Alber-
marie and Richmond families were dis
mayed at the prospects of such ter
ribie mesailiance. Every means was
tried to induce the lady to alter her
mind, but without effect.
Adair's biographer says that "amuse-
ments," long journey. an advanta-
geous offer, and other common modes
Of shaking off what was considered by
the family an improper match, were
first tried, bat in vain. The health of
Lady Caroline was evidently impaired,
and the family at last confessed, with a
good sense that reflects honor on their
understanding as we'll as their hearts,
that it was impossible to prevent,
but never to dissolve, an attach
ment; and that marriage WAS the hon
orable aud, indeed. the only alterna-
tive that could secure her happiness
and life. When Lady Caroline was
taken by her friends from London to
Bath, that she might be separated from
her lover, she wrote. it is said. the
song of robin Affair."" and set it to q
plaintive Irish tune that she had heard
him sing.
Such is the story of this popular
song,

Not day passes over the earth but
men and women of no note do great
deeds, speak great words and suffer
noble sorrows. OF these obscure he
roes, philosophers and martyrs, the
greater part will never be known till
that hour when many that were great
shall be small, and the small great; but
OF others the worlds knowledge may
be said to sleep, their lives and charac-
ters lay hidden from nations in the an
nails that record them.-CHARLEs

Colonel Higginson, taking up the
cudgels for women on the score of econ
omy, says: 81 have known men at
Newport who had made or inherited
large fortunes, but who absolutely kept
no account of personal expenses what
ever; but their wives kept house, su-
perintended their children and dozen
servants, inspected and paid every bill,
and were withal expected to have din
ner company every day, always to be
ready for unexpected guests, and always
to be serene, unruff1ed, and exquisitely
dressed. Their husbands had nothing
to do with ordering any part of the es-
tablishment except the wine cellar and
the stables; and could lounge away a
whole day at the club, if they wished,
declaiming against the extravaganza of
women"

Alexander Dumas is by birth Ro.
man Catholic, while his wife, Russian
lady, belongs to tie Greek Church.
Dumas has not allowed his children to
be baptized in either community, de-
termining that each of them upon
coming of age should enjoy free choice
between the two confessions. Mile.
Colette, the eldest daughter, is about
to marry Hebrew, and has not joined
either church, dispensing with any
religious ceremony, and intending to
have merely a civil marriage before the
mayor.

What Causes Gray Hair.

The turning gray of the hair is due
to the destruction of the top of the
papille, or life and color-giving bulb
at the root of the hair. The sudden
blanching of head of hair is frequent
ly caused by great nervous shocks, and
many historical and traditional cases
are handed down, in which sudden fear
or overwhelming news has chilled even
the roots of the hair and turned it
white in a few hours. The case of
Marie Antoinette is one of the most
tender and touching on record, for in a
single night her rich, dark hair was
changed to silvery-gray. Some hair,
however, manages to Withstand the
Establishments of age, as notably the
case of Mrs. Sally Davis, of Kentucky,
now over seventy years of age, whose
hair is a soft, silky brown, falling in
luxurisnt profusion to her waist, and
with no suspicion of silver among the
glistening threads. Gray hair has been
known to become dark without the
chemists aid. Nazarelia, man los
years old, was in 1774, at Vienna, pre-
sented by nature with new set of teeth
and a restoration of the black hair of
his youth. John Weeks died aged ia,
and was blessed with regeneration of
the color OF his hair short time before
his death, and Sir John Sinclair, q
SeotchEaan, dying at ITO, rejoiced in q
youthful head of hair during the latter
years of his life. DR.. Richards reports
the case of q man who had three
changes of his hair, from black to
white, during his life, the first TAXI. 6
place when he was about thirty five
years of age.
"Variegated hair" which is alternate
" banded black-and white, is noted
among the hirsute cariosities of nature,
and green and blue hair have been de-
scribed by some authorities; but these
colors owe their prod to the in
huence ST surroundings in which their
subjects live, the green hair belonging
to those who work in copper mines.
and blue to those whose occupation is
cobalt mining. Workers in indigo also
have blue hair. In Tripoli and Turkey
the ladies paint the hair of their chill
dren vermilion color.-Fsank Leslie's.
''There seems now to be nothing
sacred in this country but rich mans
money!" said demagogical orator in
our hearing last summer. He was a
demagogue, no doubt, but when dem
agogue can come before the people
with declaration which the expert
ence of many of his hearers too sadly
confirms. then demagogues become a
danger indeed, Our best protection
against them is the prompt righting Of
the wrongs which give their orations
power with those who hear them.-DR.
HosKINs in Wdtchman.

The WHITE HoUsE.-Comparatively
few persons know how the White House
at Washington got its name. 1t was
given to it because of it's color. The
building is constructed of freestone,
and after the British burned the in
terror in 1914, the walls were SO black
ened that when it was rebuilt it was
found necessary to paint them. Ever
since, at intervals Of a few years, the
whole structure receives a fresh coat
of white paint. The cumbrous title of
Executive Mansion was very naturally
dropped for the short and literally de-
scriptive namo of White House, and
now only figures in official documents
and correspondence.

SnREwD IN BUSINESS Russian
is an excellent business man. He is so
incredulous of other mems honesty that
he mostly keeps his own hidden like a
precious coin, only to be exchanged for
afull equivalent. he haggles good
deal over his bargains, not with screams,
like Greek. nor with disdainful
shrugs, like Turk, but with fawning
and persuasive banter. There is no
such thing as buying pile of skins at
sight and trust at fairs; every skin must
be overhauled, and if the slightest flaw
be apparent it must be exchanged for a
better one. This system applied to
other goods besides skins makes bust
ness little slow, and explains the fact
that not much money changes hands,
though there is much fussing in the
booths.
