spruce's top.
And now we must have a real big

Hlrsute Statistics.

Blonde hair is finer than that of any
other color. BY actual count it has
been ascertained that 400 hairs to the
square inch grow upon the head of a
blonde beauty. The brown comes next
with $50, then comes the black with
325, and the red with $50 or 26O. After
counting the hairs growing on an inch
square it has been estimated that on
the head of a blorde there will be
about $4,000 hairs, while brown suit
of tresses will have 100000. black
100000, and a red 10000.

three of her fingers little, but we
made that all right with soda and a

there was an episode, and it happened

I wanted both my hands to use, and
I had a piece of punk in one of them,

SO they kept still;
And the clustering wind went on in

Since nobody noticed how loud he
could pun.
And the clouds rolled up from the west
in row.
For they thought that the noise in the
world below
Was the voice of the thunder to call
them together.
And so they began to make showery
weather.
And the Man in the Moon, being great
ly perplexed
To know whatever would happen next
Wished for hands or feet, as we'll as

To cover his ears up. or run from his

And the baby stars opened their bright

To see how the rockets shot up in the

But they never guessed out

That we were Just keeping the Fourth

a minute l didn't know what to do. I
ran. but the crackers ran with me.
and the faster l went. the harder they
popped. Then all at once l saw what
to do, and l pulled off my Jacket and
threw it on the grass. Luckily it was
my Jacket. and not my trouser-pocket!
Billy took it up and shook out the
crackers, and then he turned out the
pocket, but there wasn't much left to
turn. 1t was just black rag. and it
dropped into little pieces. Then there
was big piece that looked as il it had
once been white, and that. they said.
was my handkerchief. but 1 should
never have known it.
Well, Of course they all laughed at
me good deal. but l didn't mind
much, for 1t really was very funny,
suppose; but my advice to other boys
is: Don't carry crackers in your pock-
ct, and if you do. don't put lighted

DR.. W. ]. Herdman of the Michigan
University has discovered new use
for electricity. 1t is fattening pigs.
There is no joke about the experiment.
He has used two cages of guinea pigs
for the experiment. The pigs in each
cage We're the same age. Around one
cage he strung electric wires which
were charged daily. The pigs in this
cage gained 10 per cent. more in weight
in n given time than the pigs in the
cage where there was no electricity.

The case dates back to 1894. Mr..
Neasey was at that time a witness be-
fore a congressional committee that
was investigating the sO-caued whisky
trust. He furnished Allen & Co with
Information regarding whisky and su-
gar stock, on which the firm made
great deal of money. This was done
under an agreement by which Mr. Yea
sey was to get one half-haf of the
profits. Ny client never has been able
to obtain even an accounting"

firm Of Henry Allen & Co, said that
Mr.. Veasey had sued the firm for
81, 600, 900 alleged to be due him for COM
missions.
We had no agreement" he said, "by
which he was TO receive any such
amount. At the time mentioned he was

it was sold, he clearing $4,000. That
was paid over to him and his account
