OF the sincerity OF her expressed desire
to deal with the Chinese government as
soon as possible.

The Art Of Listening.

Would that there were more people
who know how to listen! We some
times deplore the fact that there are so
few good takers; may we not rather
regret that those who can talk SO sell
iom find people who know how to hear
them?
The habit of interrupting is one that
is certainly on the increase. If one will
sit quietly by and take notes of a casual
conversation he will be disagreeably
surprised to see how few sentences are
allowed to run their smooth and even
way without some interruption. When
4 story is in telling by one of a small
group it is bound TO be paragraphed by
axclamations. needless questions. or
would-be jocose speeches. To listen
properly one should look a the speaker
and think Of what he is saying. Such a
listener is in himself an inspiration. We
sometimes hear it said of a man or
woman: THAT person brings out all
that is best In me in the way of con-
versation." And generally the reason
for this is that this particular person
gives appreciative heed to what is be-
Ing said.
To look at a book, to turn over the
pages of a magazine, or to glance over
the columns of a newspaper is not to
listen attentively, and will serve as a
damper to the most enthusiastic of
speakers.-Harper'sB Bazaar.

shakesp ar. and the Bible.

In Shakspeare's name lies the key TO
a wonderful cryptogram. The spelling
Shakespeare" was the poets nom de
plume, while "Shakspere" was his
name, an evident change from Shakes
pear" In each of the two spellings
last given are ten letters-four vowels
and six consonants. Combine these
two figures and we have the number
46, the key to the mystery.
Turning to the forty sixth Psalm in
the revised version it is found the psalm
Is divided into three portions, each Que
ending with "selah." Remember the
number-40.
Counting forty-six words from the be-
ginning of the psalm, one reads the
word shake" in the first portion, and
counting forty-six words from the end
Of the psalm one reaches the word
spear" There Is "Shakespear" as
plainly as letters can make it.-Londop

address on his departure. Some days
afterward another farmseeker came

to the second man at the higher figure,

vious contract. So he wrote the
Carthage" dealer with reference to a
cancellation of his contract, and after
some dickering succeeded in persuad-
ing the latter to accept 500 in cash in
lieu Of the privilege of buying at the
$50 rate. Then he was ready for the
S65 man. But strangely enough he had
disappeared, and so, 1t was shortly af-
terward discovered, had purchaser No.

THE KEITH THEATRES

In Philadelphia, New York and Boston
never experience such a thing as un-
profitable business. but on the contrary
they are described in the language of
the street as regular mints." Mr..
Keith has not only been a pioneer in
purifying vaudeville-for his good ex-
ample has been generally followed since
1t proved to be good policy-but he has
wrought a revolution in the vaude-
vile business, the intellectual tone of
this branch of amusements has been
elevated beyond what would have been
deemed possible In the days of vapid
vulgarity a dozen years ago. The
uniform excellence of Keith's shows Is
too we'll recognized to need mention
The best proof of public confidence is
that the sale of admission had to be
stopped at times. The Boston theatre
which Mr. Keith built few years ago.
is one of the show places of the town.

A correspondent of the Portland
Transcript writes of pretty incident
which was witnessed at the Paris ex-
position not long ago.
1t was in the Grand Palais des Beaux
Arts, says the writer, that I witnessed
a bit Of something more beautiful than
statues. as any warm, palpitating liv-
ing thing is more beautiful than sculp-
tured representations.
A mun and woman, plainly dressed
and evidently from & FAR country
stopped before a Cupid, dainty as q
lily, graceful as a sea-gull, one knee
bent beneath him, his bowstring dis
tended, while he looked straight along
the pointed arrow.

freckles, n jacket buttoned W

The woman said nothing, but she
fingered near the statue for a moment
and 1 saw her surreptitiously pat iti
cheek, doubtless for Jacks" sake.

1t is well known to the few medical

directly due to overeating and the con-

Of toxic matters from the intestinal

or severe form, is generally due to this
cause. Violent paroxysms Of temper,
whether In children or adults, are often
properly referable to a bad state Of the
blood from this auto-toxemia, as is, in
deed, the exceedingly exuberant spirits
Of old or young at times; just as we OBJ
serve in alcoholic poisoning. some indi-
viduals are made temporarily jolly and
good natured; others are made ugly and
unreasonable. In view Of this condi-
lion Of affairs isn't 1t rather a wise plan
Tor us all to consider rather the needs
Of the organism for food than the mere
question Of palate-tickling; to aim to
eat good instead Of bad food and

we act from purely sensual point of

sensibly we may enjoy practical i'm.

HAIR SHOULD NOT BE CUT.
Erroneous Belief That Frequent CLIP
ping Promotes Its Growth.

Erroneous Belief That Frequent Clip
ping Promotes Its Growth.
Does cutting promote the growth of
the hair? This question Is answered by
the Frankfurter Wochenblatt in this
wise: 1T Is believed by laymen and
professional hairdressers tat cutting
largely increases the growth Of the
hair. This belief begins with the in
voluntary comparison OF the hair with
a plant. As grass that Is often cut
short grows again and becomes thicker,
so, 1t is believed, the hair should 90
when 1t is cut This comparison, ho~-
ever, is a false one. A developed ;t.r
is a perfectly formed mass of barn
which has nothing further to do with
the case In which the hair rests than
to receive from 1t from below further
growth and to be held firmly by 1t.
. In this mass of horn, as In the
nails of the fingers and the toes, there
Is no longer any sap In circulation; this
mass, 20 to speak. Is a product which
cannot be quickened and strengthened
by new nourishment, because the lat
ter cannot enter 1t. On the other hand,
what happens in a blade Of grass Is to-
tally different.
The blade of grass Is a network Of
fine ducts in which is constantly circu-
lating the nourishment which the blade
iraws from the root; it presents, in con-
trast with the dead body Of the hair,
living, vegetating substance which
has a most intimate connection with
the condition Of its root and which
dries up infallibly when 1t Is separated
from its root, while the hair will re-
after its papilla has withered away.
We need cite only one irresistible proof
of this-the hair on the heads of num-
mics. The root of the hair as long as
it exists can produce a new hair when
the old hair has fallen out, while the
root Of many a plant gives existence
to one sprout only and then together
with it declines and dies. The more a
hair is disturbed in its natural growth
by continually cutting off its ends the
less rest its papilla. the real producer
Of the hair, finds; the papilla, being
constantly melted to excessive produc-
ton, wavers finally in its activity, de-
Gays and dies. For this reason a wom-
an with a bald head Is never or seldom
seen, as the natural and very slow
process of the growth Of a wOman's
hair is not disturbed. The individual
hair reaches a definite length; after
years 1t falls out of itself and a new
hair begins to appear as soon as the
papilla has had time to rest itself thor
oughly and to prepare itself for the
process Of a new growth. These are
the reasons which lead to the obvi-
ously valid conclusion that cutting the
hair Is rather Injurious than useful"
