WORTH A QUARTER.

A Great Scheme For Doing Away With
 Iron In the system.
 The city editor was almost weeping for a sensation when the weird looking man came in.
 i've got a great scheme" he said mysteriously by way of salutation.
 What is it?" asked the C. E.
 Scheme for changing the color of red hair"
 Suppose persons having it don't want it changed? Red is glorious color"
 They don't have to unless they want to. Nothing compulsory about it.
 What is it? Go oR and explain"
 The visitor pulled up chair.
 You know, he said, that red hair is the result of a surplus of iron in the sys- tenn. This is what imparts the vigor, the great vitality, the overfiowing and thoroughly healthy animal life that runs riot through the veins of the ruddy haired. And this strong, sentient ami nal life is what renders them more in tense in all their emotions than their more lanquid fellow creatures. The eX- cess of iron is also the cause of freckles on the peculiarly clear. white skin which T is abnormally sensitive to the action of the suns rays. which not only bring out the little brown spots in abundance. but also burn like mustard plaster, pro ducing a queer, creepy sensation, as if the skin was wrinklirT up.

 The city editor nodded.

Into that I'll put my patient for three hours every day, and I'll guarantee there won't be a silver of iron in his system al the end of a week.

AHundred Beautiful Years.

There died lately in Erie county, N. Y, Mrs. Lovina Fillmore, aged 106 years. She was born the year the fed eral constitution was adopted. She was married the year Gladstone was born, so that until her death there was still living at least one woman old enough to be Gladstones mother. Mrs. Fill more's husband was pioneer Methodist preacher, and for 66 years these two brave comrades marched side by side in the ranks of the army of the Lord. Aft CT her husbands death in 1875 Mrs. Fillmore remained upon her farm, man aging it herself She continued so to live, without break or any weakening of mental power, up to the end of her 1C3 years of life. She was an excellent house1eeper as well as farm manager and engaged in her active, useful pur- suits to the very last, as young at lO6 as most women are at GO.
 The records show that in the past few years an unusually large number of peo- pie have rounded up the full century of life. Not only that, too; but, what is far better. many of them have closed their hundred years in possession of all their mental faculties and with physical powers mostly still in fair working or der. What does it mean except that the average of human lifeis lengthening, and that in another century it will not be any more uncommon to find persons a hundred years old than it now is to meet those who are 70?
 With the knowledge of hygiene and the achievements of sanitary science in our time, what is to hinder the well born person who takes care of himself from looking confidently forward to full century of active, useful life? This is q beautiful world of light and life. There are so many million noble and wonder full things to learn. There are so many glorious opportunities for helping tht race. The progress in art, in science and in the industries will be something stupendous in the coming century. Or economic questions we find we are ye only at the door of any real understand ing.
 Let the young person who stands a the entrance of active live rejoice great ly. Let him take the best care of hi health and cultivate his heart and brail to the utmost. With the development of the race physical weakness, diseas and deformity will drop away, the olt will be as comedy as the young, an, mankind will rejoice in the prospect O 100 years of beautiful life.

One Woman's Courage.

A story is going the rounds of little woman who was seated behind a gor- geously dressed beauty at theater ill the metropolis whose balloon sleeves com pletely hid the stage from the victim in the rear. She sat on first one foot, then the other, but in vain; no glimpse of the play could she get. After a whispered conversation with her husband came the tragedy. Without a word of warning that wee woman quietly rose gently but firmly laid her hands upon the winged shoulders of her obtrusive neighbor and pressed her green and red ruffles as far down as they would go. People who saw the operation gaspcd at the trans formation. The victim wisely accepted the situation and remained in subjuga- ton until the ''Prodigal Daughter" ig- nominiously returned to the fatted calf New York Recorder.

Queer Phenomena of Falling Bodies

am unable to say who first noticed the peculiar caprices of stone or other heavy body dropped from the top of high tower. bus it is nevertheless a curi- ous fact that such objects invariably fall slightly to the east of the perpendicular line. Persons of inquiring turn of mind who ask why this is as it is may find an answer in the following: All falling bod ies partake of the earth's eastward mo tion to greater or lesser extent. There fore during the time occupied by stone in falling from the top of high tower or other eminence the earth's rotary mo- tion has carried it an appreciable dis tance to the east. The initial impetus of the stone has cGrried it to the east ward also, therefore it strikes the earth to the east of the perpendicular, vary ing III degree according to the height from which it has fallen.
 A curious article on this subject may De found in the Leipsic Zeitung of May y. ioeS' page 8. The author of the ar tlcle, who has given it the title of 1.-The

Among the funny things at the Colum- bian exposition was a little incident at the single tax congress while A. H. Stephenson, the single tax leader of Phil adelphia, was making an eloquent onset upon Henry George for his Chinese re- striction ideas. He had just referred to the doors being shut against the Chi nese, and with impassioned voice asked: '.Where did we get those doors? Did the Creator give them to us? Who gave us this country anyway To this ques- tion voice in the crowd promptly called out, with great damage to the flow of eloquencc, We stole it from the Indians. ."-Argonaut

\ Tribe That Follows Nature.

A rare opportunity to study primitive man is afforded ill the mode of life of d tribe of Eskimos hitherto almost un- known. These people inhabit the most northerly part of Labrador and are not at all bad looking. Their physique seems to have developed ahead of their manners. They are large and well formed. being taller than the average white man.
 They have little acquaintance with civilization and that little only through the Hudson Bay Trading company, to whom they sell furs and skins three or four times year. These Eskimos are therefore "uncorrupted. so far as almost any people can be by intercourse with among them, they dcrivinsa a precarious existence mostly from the sea. In win ter they cut blocks of frozen snow and nluhe houses uf il, where they live hud- died together like rats in a hole.
 When one of their number gets old or iufirm and unable to keep up with the tribe in its journeyings, at once that persons family is seized with a mad de- sire to move. This is done, the family travelling with the utmost rapidity. If the intirIn person falls behind and gets lost on the way and never is found any more. whose fault is it: The individual who could not work was only taking part of the scant supply of food away ! from those who could work.
