You often hear from car window OBJ
servers Of the "dreary" desert, the
hopeless" the Cherries" desert.
But the desert deserves none of these
adjectives. It is dreadful, if you wish
in the way in which it Furnishes the
ignorance and presumption of those
who know no. the signs Of thirst; It
is sometimes awful in It's passions
of dust, torrents, heat; It is even mon
otonous to those who love only the
life of crowded cities; but it is never
dreary or cheerless. Hopelessness
may well apply to the deserts of Null
berry street and Smoky hollow, with
their foul odors, tnelr swarms Of
crowded and hideous human life; but
the desert of the arid land rs e~ternally
hopeful, smiling, strong, rejoicing in
itself, says a writer in the Century.
The desert is never morbid in its adj
versity, on the other hand. it Is calm
and sweet and clean-tne cleanest Of
an land. Not SIN man comes, bringing
his ugly mining towns and his de-
struotive herds, does it bear even the
vestiee OF the u~nclean, the dreary,
the unpicturesque.

Man Compares His Domestic Life

scription Of the wife's temper. Her
outbreaks were frequent and il-timed;
and, as they live in a hotel affected by
the set in which they move, their diff
f%erences form a topic Of gossip amon
those who llow them. They ha4

Il ls Said 70 Remove the Yellow Tint
From Locks Turning Gray.
Gray hair is an ordeal to the aver
age woman under the most favorable
circumstances and she probably finds
in it little that is to be palliated. On
the other hand most women would
probably not mind it so much if they
were certain that all their hair would
become white Immediately and not
remain for several years in the yellow
ish, mixed stage that comes to all
women who have not black hair. It is
the problem of getting their hair
white all at once that troubles most
women.
Some Of the Paris ~hairdressers are
said to be aHle to make the hair quite
white when once it begins to turn.
The process is expensive under any
circumstances.
A remedy has been found which has
been successful in the case of most Of
the women who have tried It. 1t is
not expensive for the process consists
in giving the hair a bath Of washing
blue.
The blue must not be too strong
but must be literally mixed with
water. If one bath does not have the
effect of taking all the yellow out Of
the hair, the operation should be re-
peated.
In a day n two after the bath Of
blue has been given the yellow will
begin to fnde from the hair and in a
short tim win DC quite white.

Landscape painting in Germany has
been completely revolutionized through
the influence of the French impress
s~ionistic school. The famous German
schools Of classicism and romanti-
cism, of which Rottman, Preller, Less
ing, Schirmer, and Blechen were the
most noted representatives, had ruled
supreme for several decades. It was
due to the powerful influence OF Nor
genGtern and Gurlitt that German art
was led to realism The new direction
of which the two Achenbachs, Herzog,
and Schleich were the first pioneers
was still followed by a majority Of the
German landscape painters when i'm
pressionism was born in France.
Soon the influence Of the French
school of luminists began to be felt in
Germany, and, although the older and
many of the conservative young ar
lists refrained from emulating the ex-
ample of their brother artists on the
other side of the Rhine, some Of the
younger and more radical artists en-

Some men are as prone to take up a
fashion as women. A few years ago it
became a fashion to wear the watch in
the upper outside pocket of the coat,
fastening the bar of the chain in the
bultonhole Of the lapel, so that the
chain ornamented that part Of the gar
ment.
Then the fashion disappeared. Il
has returned, and during the nrst
warm days Of last week when waist
coats were discarded the tendency to-
transfer the watch to the upper out
side pocket Of the coat was very
marked.
An authority on such matters says
the fashion originated In New York
when negligee wear was more Of a
novelty among men than it Is now.
The same authority adds that the
watch In the coat pocket Is a better
mode Of wearing Il than IN the pocket
Of the negligeo shirt.
