A REvIvALIsT in an Indiana town
asked all those present who had read a
passage in the book of Hezekiah to
rise. About dozen stood up, some of
them old church members. "Why,
God bless you," he said, there's no
such book in the bible" They looked
foolish and dropped. The stand-up
trick at revival meetings is never very
reliable.

1t is curious fact that haired
people are far less apt to 80 bald than
those with other colored hair. The
average crop on the head of red
haired person is only 29,2OO hairs.
Ordinary dark hair is far finer, and
over three dark hairs take up the space
of one red one; 10000 is about the
average. But fair-haired people are
still better off; 10000 to 100000 is
quite a common number of hairs on
the scalp of a fair-haired man or
woman. A curious calculation has
been made to the effect that the hairs
on the head OF a fair.haired persons,
if they could be plated together,
would sustain weight of something
like so tons, equaling that of 500 peo-
ple.
