Miiiet and "rhe AngeIu..-

1t was only after long years Of strug-
gle and dire poverty, through which
Millet was consoled and supported by
his wife, that the peasant painter was
able to take the three roomed cottage
at Barbizon and try to do something
really good" 1t was then that he be-
gan to paint that most beautiful poem
OF. poverty" the "Angelus," which Is
today one OF the most valuable pic
lures in the world. Again and again he
threw aside the picture In despair OF
ever finishing 1t to his satisfaction, and
as often his wife replaced 1t on the
easel and induced him to continue.
On one occasion he was SO incensed
at not being able to produce certain
effect that he seized knife and would
have destroyed the canvas and ended
the matter once for all had not his wife
fortunately seized his hand and in
duced him to give the picture another
trial Thus 1t was that at last the
"Angelus' found a place on the walls
OF the Louvre. The success 1t won en-
couraged Millet to paint many more
pictures and thus place himself among
the immortals in art.

Dog. ana somersanlt..

AS there Is more than one way OF
cooking a goose. SO there Is more than
one method of teaching dog to throw
somersaults. But. the most practical
and thorough manner Is to fasten q
cord around the body Of the animal
close TO the forelegs, and two people
should hold the ends of the cord on
either side of the unfortunate dog.
A third party armed with a stout
rope takes a position Immediately In
front of the canine acrobat and with n
measured and mastery stroke fiogs the
floor at close quarters to the dogs
nose.
At each stroke of the rope the dog
springs backward, and that movement
is the trainers golden opportunity As
the dog spring backward the rope pass
ing under Its body Is jerked upward
and, although the first few attempts
may prove futile, the somersault is ac-
quired In course of time. An intelli-
gent dog soon sickens of this order of
things and throws somersaults with
out the assistance of ropes.

One of the oldest little creatures In
all animal nature is the leaf ant of
Central America. Although different
species of this oddity are known to In
habit the American continent from
Brazil to Mexico, the real home of the
true leaf ant is in Nicaragua. To all
outward appearances this little insect
Is a common ant, but one of gigantic
size, 1t must be admitted, when COM
pared with the ants of our temperate
regions, being on an average over an
inch in length. The habit for which
these ants are so celebrated, and one
which we could hardly believe were 1t
not for the testimony of reputable nat
uralists, is that of carrying leaf for
a sunshade, just as our women and
men carry parasols and umbrellas for
the same purpose.
When at work, the leaf carrying ants
look like a little army in which each
individual member Is protected from
the suns rays by a little banner of
green. Another remarkable fact In con-
nection with the leaf carrier is that
only those at work carry the little leafy
protection. When long file of burden
bearers have deposited their budgets,
they discard their parasols and return
for a load without the leaf which
made them such conspicuous objects
when on the up trip"

A blunt Query.

A good story is told of one of the dig.
nitaries of the Scottish church. Before
he became known to fame he was min.
lister OF remote parish in Perthshre
and was not considered particularly
attractive preacher. At his suggestion
extensive alterations We're made in the
transept of his church. and these had
the effect of sweeping away considera-
Bile seating accommodation. One day
after the alterations had been effected
he visited the church TO see how 1t
looked.
What do YOU think of the improve
ments, John?' he asked of the headle.
improvements exclaimed John in
disdain. ''rhey're no improvements at
a. Whaur are We goin to PIT the folk =
"Oh." said the minister I'VE have
abundance Of room. John. considering
the size of the congregation.
That's a very weel the moo" retort-
ed the beadle ''but what Will we do

happened 10 me ut u little lake in Wis

my family One day ny wife was out
In our boat with party OF friends.
She was letting her hand trail in the
water. without thinking about It's
shrinking effect. and when she finally
took her hand In her wedding ring was
gone The lake was deep at that point,
and although we made considerable
effort to recover the ring 1t was not
found.
Naturally II worried her good deal.
and the next year she would not go
back to the same place, nor did we
go the following year, but the third
year we went there again, and one day
was In the woods about a mile from
the lake with my boy, trying to get
shot at some denizen of the forest or

thing was my wife's wedding ring.

terry at first, but was not believer in

gan to investigate for material causes.
The top Of the tree had deadened. and
with a suspicion In my mind sent my
boy up to see what signs might be
above the green boughs. He called
down to me presently that there were
remains of tishhawk's nest in the
forks of the tree. and. putting this
and that together, came to the conclu-
sion that the hawk had caught the fish
that had gobbled up my wife's ring in
the lake and had taken it to the nest
for the young hawks. They didn't
care for jewelry and had left that
part of the fish in the nest from which,
as the nest was blown to pieces by the
wind and beaten by the storms, the
ring had dropped out and by chance
had caught on the twig where found

Falling hair Is caused by dandruff which
is germ disease. The germ in bnrrowing
in to the root of the hair, where it destroys
the vitality of the hair, causing the hair to
fall out, digs up the cuticle in little scales,
called dandruff or scurf You can't stop
the falling hair without curing the dan
druff, and you can't cure the dandruff
without killing the dandruff germ. de-
