The rice grown in the Calasieu region of Louisiana is said to be almost un- marketable this year by reason of the number of red grains it contains. The New Orleans Picayune says: The pres ence of the red grains always hurts the sale of the rice, and the value depreei- ates in proportion to the percentage of red grains present This season the presence of red rice is so general that 1t looks as if the entire Calcasieu sec tion of the rice belt has become tnfest- ed with the red rice, which is most difficult pest to get rid of. This has been due to failure to renew the seed used, and good authorities claim that the only effective way of extirpating the red rice is to import seed and plant on entirely new land, allowing the old or red rice land to remain idle for 8 time, or devote it to other crops or to grazing.

A simple device for preventing the taking of poison by mistake when bot tile is picked up hastily, or in the dark, has been invented at Philadelphia. It looks like any other bottle, but when one pulls out the cork and tips the bot tie nothing flows. The only way to get at the contents is to unscrew the top, as the cork is merely dummy" It seems that this should work.

The inmates of some of the county in- stitutions in Michigan are living high these days, feasting on venison to their hearts content. The Game law in that State provides that the license issued Ito a hunter shall have attached to it as many coupons as he is permitted to kill deer, and a coupon must be attached to every deer carcass. When the off, cers find carcass without a tag it is seized and sent to the county institu- tions or distributed among the poor of the nearest city. The slaughter of game in the State this year is lamentably great, and the seizures of untagged venison by law officers have been nu- merous.

FASHION NOTES.
Expedlents of Hair Dressing.

ENpeuItnIs uI EiHlr Dresslhg'
 It looks dreadful in print, but it's a fact that a great many women are wearing false hair. Many are even having parts of their own hair cut off, the sacrificed locks being made up into the required knot, wind of braids or front" It is so much easier to keep hair in order off the head than on, so much more simple to do it up off the head, pinning it in place all done up than it is to worry with arranging it when the roots are there to interfere

A writer in the Outlook says that some years ago friend of luis wrote g. short story which magazine accepted ana paid $50 for. The years went by, and the story still rested snugly in the safe. Meanwhile fine author of the tale had become an industrious man Of let ters and had achieved some little rep- utation. He one day met the editor, whom he had come to know, and asked him when he intended to print that sto- ny. The editor replied that he could not tell, but probably not in the immediate future. The author went home and thought the thing over, and then asked the editor for the privilege of buying the story back. The editor assenting to this, the author gave him $50 and re- ceived back his story. He read it over, made few minor changes in it, put @ new title to it, had it typewritten, and then sent it back to the editor of the same magazine from whom he had just bought it. In a short time came a check for $50 and call from an illustrator who had received an assignment to make pictures for it, as the editor in tended to publish it immediately.

I was very glad to see him, for he had

himself into my chair than he fell into

wrong. Grant had taken Dig chances
to increase his fortune and now he
realized that the Jig was up. Exposure
might come in a week, or 1T might be
DELAYED for month, but it was sure to
come. unless he had one thousand
pounds sterling in hard cash, and that
amount he knew he could not get. OF
course if exposure could have been
STAYED off fos some years everything
might come out all right: old Monckton
might die and young MoncktOn come
into the business.
Old Monckton, Grants employer, was
hard-hearted skinfiint, who would
have no mercy when investigation
faulter He was hard, even to his own
son, and it wasn't likely that he wonld
show mercy to one who was no relative
of his.
On the other hand Stillman Grant,
who was n calculating young fellow,
had many times helped young Monck-
ton when in trouble of a monetary ma
tme. He did this not because he liked
the young man particularly, but be-
cause he was his employers son and
would some time come into the bust
ness.
Young Monckt on owed Grant some
money, but even if he paid it all that
night it was not enough to cover the
defalcation, and SO was useless.
Grant had taken the money, not in
any momentary weakness, but because
he calculated he could make himself
rich man by the use of it. These cal
culations turned out to be erroneous,
and for months Grant had been exer-
eising his ingenuity to stave off ex-
posture. He had not deluded himself
with any false views as to what would
happen when exposure came. He had
made up his mind. There should be
no trial with imprisonment at the end
of it, He knew an easier way out OF
the difficulty than that. He had
bought quantity Of morphine which
he knew, when the time came to take
it, would insure him a swift and toll
era bly, easy death He knew that six
or seven, or perhaps ten years impris-
onment was the penalty for his offense
Rnd ne had no desire OF intention Oh
facing such a punishment
He walked that night to his rooms
overlooking the Thames enbankment-
He went to a cupboard and spent some
time in choosing with particular care
bottle of wine he intended to drink.
He poured out small draught of the
beverage, and, taking the paper of
morphine, he opened it carefully and
sprinkled the white contents on the
surface of the wine. He watched it as
it slowly settled and finally disap-
peared in the liquid; then he poured
another glass of wine and drank it off.
There was no hurry about drinking
the poisoned cup; he had all the night
before him, so he drew his comforta BILE
armchair up to the fire and sat down
wondering who would find his dead
body IN the morning. At last taking
up the poisoned glass he paused for a
moment with it in his hand, thinking
he heard a step on the stair. The
next minute his surmise was GER
tainty, as some one raped at his
door. Hastily putting down the glass
he shouted: Come in" forgetting the

feeling hat ii would relieve him to I'M
