Regarding Red-Headed People.

Red-headed people, as is well-known,
are less subject to badness than others.
A London doctor explains the matter
thus: The hair Of the red-headed is
relatively thick, one red hair being
almost as thick as five fair or three
brown hairs. With 10000 red hairs the
scalp Is well matched, whereas with
the same number of fair hairs one is
comparatively bald. 1t takes 100000
fair and 100000 brown hairs to cover
adequately an ordinary head.

from IS to 81. Il L easy to see what :
wheat field OF 100 acres win do. aAs to
the heayiness OF the crops, an American
consul has written that In the harvest
time the entire labor to be found was
wholly inadequate to the task OF harvest
ing. The wheat was so tall and stout,
and so heavily laden with grain that the
work OF reaping and stocking was ex-
tremely exhausting. The weight Of the
grain was so great that the reapng ma
chimes were frequently broken.
Great Grain country.
Not only wheat. but oats, barley and
peas grow prodigiously. Oats yield from
sixty to ninety bushels per acre, some
times over 100. The barley Is Of such a
superior quality that II is sought after by
brewers everywhere, and readily sells for
several cents per bushel more than barley
of any other country. Peas, which are
entirely free from grubs and bugs, yield
splendidly and are as hog fodder in every
way superior to corn. To their use ex-
perts attribute the absence Of hog cholera
in this country. Yet corn Is grown some
times for fodder and ensilage. and some
of it grows as high as ten or twelve feet.
In oats, the experimental farms show
a great record for three successive years.
Taking twelve varieties, the Manitoba ex-
perimental farm shows an average yield
of rs bushels 20 pounds to the acre. The
farm for the Northwest territories for the
same period shows, in twelve different
varieties, an average yield Of 81 bYsAels
and % pounds per acre. In IMPROVED
barley, with six varieties, the Manitoba
farm shows an average yield of AZ bush
els 81 pounds per acre; that of the North
west Territory, SO bushels 20 pounds per
acre. In six-rowed barley, six varieties,
the Manitoba farm shows an average Of
81 bushels one pound per acre; the North
west Territories farm 60 bushels g
pounds per acre. In spring wheat, with
twelve varieties, the average at the Man
itoba farm for three years was 80 bushels
% pounds per acre; at the Northwest
Territories farm Al bnshels IL pounds
per acre. In potatoes, the average crop
with twelve varieties for three years at
the Manitoba farm 343 bushels so pounds
per acre; at the Northwest Territories
farm 800 bushels Is pounds per acre. 1t
is safe to say that no other country in the
world can show averages approaching this
yield OF wheat. oats, barley and potatoes.
Wild fruits, especially of the smaller
kinds, as strawberries, cherries, grapes,
plums, ETC., grow in great abundance and
are in flavor superior to those grown in
the East. Dairying has already made
rapid strides. The butter Of Western
Canada finds its way to the Eastern and
English markets. and is highly appreciat-
ed. Horses and cattle thrive we'll on
these prairie farms, and the average Of
first-class stock there is probably higher
than in any other part of the continent.
Sheep, hogs and poultry are all profitable
branches of farming in Western Canada.
and the value Of the exports is increas-
ing every year.

PEN PICTURE OF SOUTHERN HOMES

Robert j. Burdette in the Los Angeles
Times.
How beautiful. happy, prosperous the
New South is. And her warm hearted low
ing people-the best people on earthi And
the sweet old southern homes still stand
here and there in The rush and clatter of
'modernity'' and progress-not as protests
against the things that are made new
they are too fair and gentle for that-but as
beautiful memories of all that was fairest
and sweetest and best in the Old South
How beautiful they are, these old southern
homes, with the pleasant dignity of the old
colonial architecture and the stately
grace of their massy, columned verandas.
And just the shadow of pathos that rests
upon them, tenderly as the sun-kissed haze
of these Indian summer days. They tenn
per our modern desire fer newness and
oddly by their orderly sweetness, they cor
rect our architectural frenzies by their old
fashioned serenity. They make you feel, in
your so-caled "Queen Anne of many
gabled deformities and creosote stains,
much as you would feel if your dear, state
ly old grandmother. in her silver hair and
costly laces, should catch you standing on
your neau. Ihey are OF the Ola times, OF
the older They stood here before the war.
They have known the fiery scourge of
battle. They nave been deluged with woe.
They have been baptized in sorows-some of
which the northern homes have never
known-may never know, please God. And
some of them have been common sorrows--
the anguish of bereaved motherhood, the
agony of widowhood, the grief of the
phan. And the sorrow that is common
makes tender the bitterness of the fierce,
cruel past and the kisses that rained on
the face of the dead turn into caresses of
consolation for the living.

Mechanics Institute for Apprentices

There is no reason now for discussing or
pointing out the influence of technical edu-
cation, for every one knows that with the
advance of civilization, and with the de-
veopment and progress especially of the
profession of mechanic engineering tech
nical training is absolutely essential in the
economical conduct of rolling mills, foun-
dries machine shops and steel mills. Not
only is the mechanic engineer, man of
the highest scientific attachments, in de-
machinery is employed, but educated mas
ter mechanics and shop foremen are in just
as much demand.
Boys who have any prediction whatever
for mechanics should, after receiving an ele-
mentary schooling, apply themselves to
technical study, taking a thorough course
under competent teachers. Where parents
are able to send their sons to college for
technical education, it should be done But
in many cases boys of capacity and ambi-
tion have to start to work in the shops at
the age of sixteen or seventeen in order to
earn livelihood. The only way they can
acquire a technical education, therefore, is
by attending college at night In all great
manufacturing cities such institutions exist
and flourish There should be something
of the sort here in Birmingham. Every APP
prentice boy should have the opportunity
of scientific training A mechanics insti-
tute, with classes at night, would certainly
be a most beneficient enterprise Mr. Will
liam Ryan, secretary of the board of trade,
discussed the matter in an interview in
The Age-Herald of Friday, and the plan
that he suggested for Birmingham seems
very simple and feasible. 1t is hoped that
the suggested idea will result in an early
contamination of the proposition.

Ballot Reform in Georgia.

The people of Georgia are thoroughly
weary of dishonest election methods, and
they are endeavoring to inaugurate a re-
form that will do away with ballot box
stuffing and other demoralzing elections
practices. Although the present consttu-
ton of the state is of comparatively recent
date, many favor the holding of a coMti-
tutional convention in order that ballot
reform may have the fullest and broadcast
attention. but some favor action by amend
ment. The Hardwick BILL as 1t is called,
is now pending, having received the en-
dorsement of the committee to which it was
referred. Under it the right to vote would
be changed by the addition of This para

a competent voter unless he shall be able to

no male person who was on January l.

of such person shall be denied the right to
