This is especially true OF that pro-
nounced form of blondS which is dis

persons do not now constitute the n;l-
iority in any known tribe or nation.
but one authority sets forth grounds
for thinking that red hair was once
much more prevalent.
1t must have occurred. for instance.
among the Brahmans. since they We're
forbidden by the laws of Manu- to
marry red haired women. There is no
doubt that blonds and red haired per-

have been immigrants. But obedience
to the law mentioned would. Ill the

4 Neglected Class.

When looking around TO discover So
cial grievances or to find subjects for
phiianthropic work, why has no one
thought Of the hotel maids and wait
ers? Their lives are hard. for they
have lon" hours and must be on duty
both early and late. Their time Off is
taken in Snatches. and they seldom get
g whole day.
\ kind lady, observing this at ho-
tel, asked her husband TO give his morn
ing paper every day to the man who
waited at their table. The gratitude
expressed showed how tedious the man
found his idle time when he was ''on
duty" but had nothing to do and moth
ing to read.
A book or paper to 4 chambermaid
hallbcy or elevator boy is often more
gratefully received than the ever well
come tip.
A little consideration rs to unusual
demands meets with equal apprecia-
ton. Any one who has travelled much
and not kept bis eyes shut soon learns
that hotel work is hard for those who
do it regularly and continuously and
soon becomes willing to be less exact
ing and more aware Of certain needs in
those who serve which cannot be sup
piled by gifts of money. A little per-
sonal interest is worth much more il
many cases.-Philadelphi Ledger.
