Time and It's Apportionment.


Whatever other inequalities we may
labor under, we all have an equal
amount of time, the only question being
how to apportion it. One will be indie
fatigably busy every moment through
the day and painfully exhausted at
night, and yet the results may be quite
unsatisfactory to himself and to others,
because he has worked erratically or
from impulse, without foresight or
Judgment. Another knows what he can
do or can not do, and plans his time &C
cordingly. He arranges for needed rest
and leisure, no selects his employments
In the order of their Importance, and
lets the rest go without struggle. He
may not accomplish quite so much of
certain things in day as his unmeth.
odical neighbor; but on the scale of a
year his achievements will be far more
valuable, and on tho scale Of a lifetime
his own health and happiness and that
OF his family, as we'll as his usefulness
to society, will be UNNECESSARILY greater,

How to Tell Bleached Blondes.

Bleached hair is brought to such an
art now that it is almost impossible for
the casual observer to tell the genuine
from the artificial blonde. But if in a
carefully-arranged head Of hair as yell
low as ripe wheat you detect one dark
brown or black hair at the nape of the
neck or near the ear, the story is told.
Straws show which way the wind blows,
and the single dark hair tells where the
dye missed The dark-haired woman
who is determined to be a blonde must
live the life Of slave to this desire, as
hair grows at the rate of an inch a
month. There Is a shade of natural au-
burn hair which is inclined to be
streaked and much lighter at the ends
than at the roots. This kind of hair,
now 30 fashionable, might be mistaken
for the streaked and striped bleached
blonde by an inexperienced eye; but, if
glossy, bright and healthful in tone, it
Is sure to be natural, no matter how
varied are its shades; while If it is dry
and broken, it Is safe to suspect the
bleacher's art. A natural pale golden
blonde has blonde eyelashes and eye
brows, and in real life black eyelashes
never accompany golden hair, unless it
owes its hue to art, however much we
may find this combination in heroines
OF novels.-Chicago Herald.

THE WESTERN PLAINS.
Irrigation tho Only Means PromisInr
Profitable Crops.

Irrigation tho Only Means Promising
Profitable Crops.
PROT Frank II. Snow, Of the Kansas
State University, said several years ago:
'But the TACT that thousands of new
corners, from ignorance Of the climate,
have attempted to introduce ordinary
agricultural operations upon the So
called plains, and have disastrously
failed in the attempt, has placed an I'M
deserved stigma upon the good name Of
Kansas in many far-distant commune
ties, and has undoubtedly somewhat re-
tarded immigration during the past few
years. 1t is time for the general recog-
milton of the fact that, except in the ex-
ceedingly limited area where irrigation
is possible, the western third of Kansas
is beyond the limit of successful agri-
culture" The severe seasons of drought
which have occurred since the above
conservative statement was written
show the whole truth OF the matter to
be that the westward advancing line of
settlement Is by no means an isohyetal
one, but that it is merely line repre-
senting in way the overflow of the pop
ulation of our Eastern States. It needs
but slight acquaintance among the old
settlers in Central Kansas to know that
they fear nowadays excessively dry
weather as much as they did twenty-five
years ago. The people who live farther
west are losing faith in the idea of an
increased RAINFALL as is evidenced by
the fact that over two hundred linear
miles Of main canals have lately been
constructed for irrigation purposes
nearly 81 Far east as Kinsley, in the
Arkansas valley of Western Kansas. In
the Platte valley. in Nebraska, large
irrigating systems are at present being
projected. o. Henry, in Popular
Science Monthly.
