We all remember how the little chill
dren in the Old Testament apostrophized
the prophet Elisha on account Of his
lack of hair. and they have their coun-
terparts in the little street urchins OF
the present day. who impudently re-
quest their deserving seniors to keep
their hair on" White and gray hair
have furnished the theme of innumer-
able graceful ballads and poems. such
as that pretty song which begins with
the words Silver threads among the
gold" But no poet. far as j am
aware. has yet found inspiration in
head divested OF hair, and the verses
concerning 'tthe bald spot among the
.nglets" has yet TO be written.
King Edward must be congratulated
upon his courage in having himself rep
resented on his coins as he really Is;
that is to say, bald headed. instead OF
concealing his scarcity of hair by
means of crown or fictitious growth

King Edward VII is the first English
sovereign to figure on the coinage as
baldheaded This new departure of Ed
ward VII is rather bold one, for,
whereas gray or white hair invite re-
spect and veneration and are endowed
with a halo OF romance and sentiment,
badness, which is just as much sym
Dol or result of age and OF its concomi-
tant decay, Is frequently a source OF
ridicule.
Indeed, the absence of veneration and
respect for badness is to be found In
almost every country in the world, ir-
respective of creed. The tonsures OF
the monastic order in Europe and the
shaven pates of the Buddhist clergy in
the Far Orient are attributable to con-
siderations of humility.
In ancient times when slavery pre-
vailed In Europe, slaves were distin-
guishable by their shaven heads. and in
many parts of the globe, notably in ia
pan and Siberia. convicts have their
heads kept shaven by the authorities
with the object of divesting them of the
respect of their llow-citizens

The German Emperor has arranged to

as he wishes to indicate that the visit

King of Portugal is likely to be at
Sandringham at the same time, and this

REVOLVES
ELEcTRlclTY IN FARMING.

Used Extensively In France, Where
Coal is Scarce.
Electricity Is used in the house OF
the French farmer, not only for heat
ing, but for cooking of food. Now
that coal is becoming scarce and high.
and forests are inadequate to furnish
fuel, electricity is furnishing the
cheapest source of energy. The cur
rent from a generator is led to CEN
trail distributing station, where 1t Ia
divided into as many circuits as there
are separate motors-and so power
is distributed. In the farmers barns
this power runs root cutters. milk sep.
arators, tanning mills. etc. It can
also be used for cleaning harnesses.
for sharpening tools, for ventilators.
pumps, mills, etc. Yards. stables and
barns are lighted as well az houses.
The water from ponds or brooks or
rivers is raised high enough for its
distribution through farm buildings
and over the fields of irrigation. Elo-

Vioiins Made from Clay.

An old Scotch proverb says: You
can't make a silk purse out Of a sow's
ear" 1t seems to the ordinary person
that 1t would be quite as impossible
to make a good violin out Of clay. but
1t has been done. A well-known man.
ufacturer of the Messein ocarinas and
porcelain organus has invented proc
ess for the manufacture of violins and
mandolins from clay. Some violins
have already been completed. and the
inventor has applied for letters patent
for the same in different countries.
Under this process the violins are cast
and every violin is guaranteed a sue
cess and to be excellent for producing
music. The latter quality constitutes
precisely the chief value Of this in
vention. The porcelain body. 4. is
claimed, is better able - produce
sound than a wooden one. since it CO.
operates in the production Of sound,
making the notes soft and full.

SOME QUEER NEGRO TRAITS.
Noted by Traveller During Recent
Trip Through the South.


Trip Through the South.
A great popularity of the black race
everywhere is its love of gossip and
its madness to spread news. You do
not have to advertise for a servant in
the South. You mention that you need
one and servants begin to call and ap-
ply within an hour after you have ex-
pressed your wish. The news spreads
because no two negroes ever pass in
the streets without speaking to each
other. Even though they are total
strangers they invariably halt and gos-
sip. Everything that happens in a
town over night is known in every
kitchen early in the morning, and
every servant burns to tell it to her
employers. A. fire, . robbery, q
quarrel between man and wife, a case
OF illness, the arrival of visitor, per-
haps the mere contents of letter con-
cerning matters unintelligible to the
servant who hears it read-all these
things fly from mouth to mouth and
kitchen to kitchen. You may watch
your kitchen and think that you have
made sure that no negro has called
upon your cook, or maids between
breakfast and lunch, and yet at lunch
the waitress will let fall the gossip
of the place since breakfast.
1t Is just the same in Africa. There
they call the process ''the Kaffir tele-
graph" When l was there many a
battle was heard of Gin the air" at
Cape Town, Kimberly and Port Eliza
beth day or even SO hours before the
news came by electric telegraph. The
negroes brought the news. and it was
considered sufficiently reliable to af-
feet the values of African securities.
The news was carried hundreds, even
a 1,008 miles, by the Kaffirs. They
shouted it from man to man, they sig
nailed it from kopje to kopje and kopje
to welt, they ran 100 miles with it for
no pay, for the love of gossip. Sud-
denly 1t was gossiped in the homes of
Cape Town, and on more than one oc-
casion Samuel ]. Pryor, now Of the
Daily Express, got a full days advan-
tage of his competitors by cabling this
Kaffir gossip to London. In South
Africa it is taken for granted that the
negroes will know the news at least
as soon as any white man.-Julian
