Men With Green Hair.

It has been observed for centuries that
coppersmiths sometimes have green hair.
A Berlin professor has been Investigate
ing the subject. He says: Green hair Is
by no means common among copper
workers. 1t occurs only among those
who have worked with the metal for
many years, and the individual suscepti-
bility varies greatly. 1t is sometimes as
months work in hot weather. but this Is a
mere superficial color, the result of the
action of perspiration upon the copper dust,
and it can be washed off.
The true dyed in the WOOL green hair
cannot be restored to its original color by
washing, even with chemicals. Among
more than 300 coppersmiths found only
who had been brass polisher for twenty
seven years showed no trace Of green. or
two men who had worked for many years
under identical conditions one had a green
beard, the others hair retained its natural
color.
Animals are sometimes turned green by
copper. A sheep which has been exposed
fine green fleece. This animals drinking
water was also contaminated by refuse
from the copper works, which seemed to
have had bad effect on its general health.
In men the beard seems to be more affect
ed than the hair of the head, and the eye
brows least Of all. Blondes are more WIS.,
IDLY affected than dark-haired people
After working in copper Is given up the
green color may disappear but only after q
number of years. I saw an old man with
snow-white hair which had formerly been
green. Another hite-haired workman did
not acquire the green celebration until five
months after he had ceased work.

A Clever Bird.
From Outing.

rOn
The grouse has a hundred tricks Of de-
tense. 1t will sometimes lie still until the
hunter is within yard Of 1t: then soar
straight upward in his front, towering like
woodcock. Again 1t will rise forty yards
away, and the sound of it's wings is his only
notice. OF its presence. It will COVER upon
a branch under which he passes, and his
cap will not be more than foot below 1t
as he goes: and though it has seen him
approaching, It will remain quiescent in
lfrightful fear until his back is turned. 1t
will flush then, and when he has slowed
himself hurredly around he will catch only
a glimpse Of a brown, broad wing far away
Wounded and falling in the open it will be
found-if it Is found at all-with the tell
tale speck1es Of Its breast against the trunk
iof some brown tree, against which its
feathers are indistinguishable, and the
black ruff about the neck of the male will
be laid against the darkest part Of the bark
Often it will double like fox; often, as
man draws near, 1t will spring noiselessly
into some spruce and hide until he passes,
dropping then to ground and continuing It's
feeding; often, too, 1t will decline to take
wing, though unhurt and will run fast for
"a half mile-so fast that the most expert
woodsman will be unable to keep pace with
1T. This 1t will do only on leafy ground.
and never when snow would betray its
tracks.

Why the Tiger is Striped,

OF course, 1t happened long ago
Crhe nice things always did, you know.
When animals could talk.
lOrd1y Tiger. one fine day,
Said. 'Tts shame at home to stay"
And set out for a walk
Now Tigers. in those bygone days.
Were all with yellow quite ablaxe,
Never stripe Of black.
And. oh! they were SO very proudi
They used to patronize the crowd,
Who laughed behind their back.
The Tiger Of this little song,
His pride was extra common strong,
It really was immense.
To see him strut along the street.
With spats upon his great big feet,
You'd think he had no sensei
Well, one fine day. as have said.
This Tiger took 1t In his head
He'd go out for a stroll.
In yellow gloves he cased each paw,
And all the animals he saw,
Their mirth could not control,
But as he walked. 1 grieve to say,
He spied q ladder In his way
Leaning against wall,
And some one cried, "Oh, Tiger, dear,
Pass not beneath this ladder here,
Lest some mishap befall!'
The lordly Tiger answered not,
He really did not care a tet
For superstttiOus quaint.
But as 1t happened. there was hung
Upon the ladders middle rung
A pot Of blacklist paint.
It caught his head and straight upset.
Then long black stripes, as black as Jet,
The Tiger overspread.
It spoilt his spats. 1t shamed his pride,
He soon at home was glad to hide
His poor diminished head.
And ever since. so some folks say,
The Tigers, to this very day,
Are striped with black and yellow
And all because that lordly beast
Would never stop the very least
He was q silly fellow!

Dear Children:
Aunt Dorothy is very much pleased "

and spelling of your letters You must
certainly have been practic1ng during the

Aunt Dorothy's illness has made 1t neces-
sarv for her to travel south. and In very
few weeks she will send you some delight
fuI stories from charming pictures, hrst
from Mexico where she will establish
new branch of the Chil1ren's League, or
which she told you some time ago. when
YOU begin to think of warm fur coats lor
winter Aunt Dorothy will be unpacking her
trunks to find her thinnest muslin dresses,
for the promised visit to Mexico Will sum
become a reality. How L wish you couiu
all be with her under the awning which
shades a wide balcony overlooking the
plaza. or park of San Luis Potosi. What
a merry time you would have watching the
strange sights, which change like the
scenes in a play as one peeps over the bal
cony l think we will pretend that you are
beside her and L will point out some OF the
things which are to be seen In the piazza
below us
The first strange sight is the morning
sweeping of the sidewalks and paths by
prisoners from the carcel, or prison. Iney
are men who have been unruly the DAY De-
fore They look very much ashamed OF
themselves, 1 am glad to say The police
men go about close before and behind them
and see that they do their work properly
Almost as soon as the sweepers have passed
the church bells ring for early service. and
then the streets waken in earnest. for hum
dreds of women go hurriedly across the
square and pass through the doors of the
great church Some of them carry their
market baskets on their arms. Among all
these women there isn't a hat to be seen.
All have long. narrow scarfs of dark blue
cotton cloth over their heads and wrapped
see is long row of women who have come
out and squatted along the edge of the
pavement. with baskets full Of hot rolls,
oranges, prickly pears and tortillaS or fiat
cakes made of rolled maize OF Indian corn,
mixed with lime. Mexican children love
these little cakes. 1 must tell you about a
little boy who was poor that he had al
ways been hungry. He told me that he
would like to have all the tortillas that he
feel. / promised him that would pay for
as many as he could stow away. and. es-
tablshing myself on a bench under palm
tree on the plaza, / watched my little
Mexicano set to work. Remember that
each cake was as large as an ordinary grid
die cake, and then imagine my feelings
when saw fifteen disappear. Then, with
q beaming SMILE the boy made a low bow
and said, "Bastante, sonora, gracias,"
my next letter I will tell you about another
boy who comes every day to spend all the
daylight hours on the plaza, and what he
does there.
Let me hear from you. Your letters will
always be welcome. DOROTHY DAY.

Prince and Pearl.

In the very same year. the very same day,

And in one cradle the babies slept
All through the mid winter weather.

And one curled up at the darling's feet,

But Prince grew fat as doggies will
Till he was large and strong
With q coal black coat that was curly and fue
And he learned to know right from wrong.
And Prince would sit By baby Pearl

And the mother was free to come and 20
