HIS Opinion of the Wood.

Not far from Southern town n
mean white man had been missing his
firewood from pile that had been
sawed into three-foot lengths. In or
Tier to discover which way his wood
was going this mean man bored an
auger hole six or eight inches deep in
one end of piece of wood and filled
the hole with powder, then plugged it
with n tight-fitting peg and rubbed
some mud on the place with intent to
deceive.
The night following the day on which
that piece of wood was missed there
was dance at n negro cabin hard by.

cabin, who remarked after the smoke

HOPE roR rHR HAIRLESS.
Cold OF Alaska Puts a Crop on tho
Baldest Head.

The experience OF Roderick Dhu
Smith, who recently returned from the
klondike region with a big budget OF
experience, quite little sum of money,
and head Of hair which almost quail
hes him to take an engagement as a
Clrcassian girl in q circus, is of es-
pecial interest to a largo contingent OF
his fellow men and women, says the
San Francisco Call. For be 1t known
that Roderick, before making his per-
ilous way to the Arctic regions,
though otherwise pleasing to look up
on and still on the sunny side of for
ty, was the owner OF a head which
made theater ushers, whenever there
him down to the front row without
even glancing at his seat check.
1t is said that his badness was the
real cause of his starting out in search
OF gold, since he spent all his patri-
mony In the purchase Of hair restor-
ers, and 1t was necessary for him to
do something, no matter how desperate,
to retrieve his fallen fortunes. Be that
as 1t may, he went to Alaska, and, af-
ter two years residence there, has
returned modern Samson, as far as
chevelure is concerned, and he de-
clares that the transformation Is en-
tirely due to the rigors of the climate
in that quarter Of the globe.
"The intense cold kills all germs and
microbes" he asserts, land stimu-
lates the scalp, and nature does the
rest" and he proudly exhibits his lion
like name as proof of what nature can
do. when she takes a fancy, unassisted
by washes or oils or unguents.

years in Alaska and the northwest, al
though he has not the pleasure of
knowing Mr.. Smith personally, and did
not, therefore, see the sprouting and
the bourgeoning of his especial crop
OF modified epidermic cells, still cor
roborates his story as to the virtues of
that frigid cline as hair producer.
My hair always was thick" he says,
so l cannot speak from personal ex-
perience, but the way dogs put on hair
up there Is caution. They get as
shaggy as Shetland ponies, and now
think Of 1t, never saw a bald-headed
fellow anywhere around there. To
tell the truth, they all look, after they
have got to work. as though razor
and pair of scissors were far moro
needed than hair restorer, and
think a missionary barber would do
good work among them"

eovNoro CATCH The MULE
Thought the Syringe Might Have the
Same Erect On Himself.

"A physician and his friend were
standing on the street corner OF a
virginia town where they were spend
ing few days. Their attention was
amusingly arrested by the sight of an
old darby belaboring the TANKS of q
mule In vain persuasion to make him
move on. At last the doctor was APP
pealed to.
Say, boss, I'll give you five dollahs
Ell you'n make div hyar mule co.
With sly wink the physician OPEN
ed his case and took out his hypoder-
mic syringe. filled the needle with an
acid and sent 1t into the hind quarters
OF the mule. The effect was magical.
With a wild plunge the mule went
tearing down the street, with the
darby after him, the bystanders roar

ward the darby, dust covered and
painting, approached again

Signs of Good and Bad Weather.

A hint or two on weather prophecy.
When clouds are red in the west. the
red having purple tint, it is a sign of
fine weather. The air when dry re.
tracts red or Matchmaking rays. and as
dry air Is not perfectly transparent
these are again reflected in the hori.
zon. An old proverb says:
rainbow in the morning is the shep-
herds warning.
A rainbow at night is the shepherds
delight.
rainbow occurs when the clouds
containing or depositing the rain are
opposite to the sun. In the evening
the rainbow is in the east, and in the
morning it is in the west. AS the
heavy rains in this climate are usually
brought by the westerly winds, a rain
bow in the west indicates that bad
weather Is on the road; whereas the
rainbow in the east proves the con-
trary.
When the swallows fly high fine
weather is to be expected or to con-
tinue. But when they fly low ap-
preaching rain is Indicated Swallows
follow the flies and gnats. and flies and
gnats usually delight in warm strata
OF air. AS warm air Is lighter and
moister than cold air, tho warm strata
of air run higher. but when the warm
and moist air is close to the ground.
1t is almost certain that, as the cold
air flows down into it, water will fall.
AS an indication of the approach of
wet weather, nothing is more certain
than a halo around the moon. which
is produced by the precipitated water:
and the larger the circle the nearer the
clouds, and. consequently, the more
ready to fall. A coppery or yellow
sunset also foretells rain.
Observations teaches that when the
sea gulls assemble on land, stormy and
rainy weather is approaching. The lit
tie petrol enjoys the heaviest gale, be-
cause living partly on the smaller sea
insects, he is sure to find his food In
the spray of heavy waves. The fish
on which they prey in fine weather at
sea leave the surface and go down
deeper during the storm. The differ
ent tribes of wading birds always NIL
crate when rain is about to take place.
Upon the same principle, the vulture
follows armies.
