our Sun a Third-Rate One.

Our sun is a third-rate sun, situated
in the milky way, one Of myriads Of
stars. and the milky way is itself one
of myriads of sectional star accumu-
lations, for these seem to be count
less. and to be spread over infnity. At
some period of their existence each OF
these suns had planets circling around
it, which, after untold ages, are fit for
some sort of human beings to inhabit
them for a comparatively brief period,
after which they still continue for
years to circle around without atmos
phere, vegetation or inhabitants. as
the moon does around our planet.
There is nothing so calculated to take
the conceit out of an individual who
thinks himself an important unit In
the universe as astronomy. It teaches
that we are less, compared with the
universe. than a colony Of ants is to
us, and that the difference between
men is less than that between one ant
and another.-London Truth.

The housekeeper said not word,
but went to the window and threw
back the curtains, then touched
match to the wood laid ready in the
CRATE The flames leaped forth as IL
glad to escape from their resinous
prison, making glittering reflections in
the polished tiles and filling every cor
ner with rosy glow. Phebe rolled her
mistress favorite chair to the hearth.
Come and sit here, Miss Gladys,
while l get you cup Of coffee. 1t will
warm you up. The room is like

Gladys crushed back sob and meek
ly did as she was hidden. She always
obeyed Phebe. She drank the coffee
when it was brought and looked apollo
getically into the housekeeper's kind if
grim face.

she said.

That reason will do as well as any
other. When are you going to have
Mr.. Walter Barr and his young wife
here to dinner? They've been married
three months now"
81 suppose l ought to invite them
soon," said Gladys, Frightening a lit
tie. But Mrs. Harvey so objects to
company"
And Is the house to be kept like
tomb to please her? She has her hus-
band and baby, and you have nobody,
it seems It's little ever thought to
see Mr.. Harvey a woman's fool! She
twists him around her finger, and the
great BOBBY doesn't know it. Well,

Gladys looked thoughtfully into the
fire for a space.
Il think you are right, Phebe," she
presently said with an air Of decision
Il will do as you say"
She dressed herself with unusual
care for dinner. She was resolved to
charm her sulky boy into good humor.
He had just taken his place at the table

THE HAIR HARVEST.
over 100000 Pounds of Human Hair
Used Annually.

Perhaps there is no staple article
about which less is known by the av-
erge person than human hair as an
article of commerce. 1t will doubtless
surprise many when it Is stated that
the dealers in human hair goods do
not depend on chance clippings here
and there, but that there is regular
hair harvest that can always be relied
upon. 1t is estimated that over H.
100000 pounds of human hair are used
annually in the civilized world for
adjoining the heads of women, says a
writer in the Toledo Courier. Two
thirds of the ladies nowadays use false
hair, more or less. The decree OF
fashion or the desire to conceal a de-
feet or heighten charm is the reason,
of course. One woman, for instance,
has a high forehead and wishes to re-
duce it in appearance. Another has
worn off the front hair by continued
frizzing, and would like to conceal the
fact. Both make use of front or top
piece, with a choice of many styles.
Ladies' wigs cost from $40 to 500.
Half wigs, top pieces and switches,
from S. to $50, according to quality.
The rarest supply of hair comes
from Switzerland, Germany and the
French provinces. There is human
hair market in Merlans, in the depart
ment of the lower Pyrenees, held ev-
cry Friday. Hundreds of hair traders
walk up and down the one street OF
the village, their shears dangling
from their belts, and inspect the
braids which the peasant girls, stand
ing on the steps Of the houses, let
down for inspection. If bargain is
struck the hair is cut and the money
paid on the spot, the price varying
from fifty cents to So in our money.
