He also appeared when sitting to have

neutral violet tint, rather inclining to
hazel, and shOne not with dazzling
or brilliant sparkle, but rather with a
mildly subdued serenity of intellectual

dark shadow cast upon them by the
oyerhanging and rather impressive
cloud of his moonlike brow-giving
them that soft. celestial glow of soul
which chara cterizes the lOftiest enthu-

When the heaven of his brow was free

to be the case when his soul was not
racked either by the thoughts of his
poverty, of the remembrance of the

Intellect and Hair.

"From the color of a mans hair may
be learned a good deal in regard to his
intellectual ability" says a professor Of
the University of Lille who has for
some months been closely studying the
subject. Schoolboys with chestnut hair,
he maintains, are likely to be more clev-
er than any other and will generally be
found at the head of the class, and in
like manner girls with fair hair are
likely to be far more studious and
bright than girls with dark hair. In
mathematics and recitation these boys
and girls, he claims, specially excel. On
the other hand, he says that boys and
girls with brown hair are most likely to
attain distinction through their indi-
viduality and style and that those with
red or auburn hair do not often excel
in any respect.

Look For the Beautiful.

There are superb personalities that
go through life extracting sunshine
from what to others seems but dark
ness. seeing charm in apparent ugliness,
discerning grace and exquisite proper
ton where the unloving see but forbid
ding angles and distortion and glimps-
ing the image Of divinity where less
beautiful souls see but lost and de-
graded human being.
Yet it is the heritage possible to all
who will take the trouble to begin early
in life to cultivate the finer qualities
of the soul. the eye and the heart.
1t is said that the most disgusting
object, if put under magnifying glass
of sufficient power. would reveal beau
ties undreamed of. So even in the most
unlovely environment, in the most cruel
conditions, there is something Of the
beautiful and the hopeful when viewed
through the glass of a trained and
disciplined mind.
A beautiful character will make poet
ry out of the prosiest life, bring sun
shine into the darkest home and devel
op beauty and grace amid the ugliest
surroundings.
1t is not circumstances so much as
the attitude and quality of the mind
that give happiness. contentment and
divinity of service.-Success.

In the forests of Oregon, Washing
ton, Montana and British Columbia
there is a species of tree that has
continuous and copious dripping of
pure, clear water from the ends of its
leaves and branches. This extraordi-
nary sight may be witnessed at all sea-
SONS when the leaves are on and seems
equally plentiful on clear, bright days
as on damp, cloudy nights. The tree is
a species of fir, and the weeping" phe-
nomenon is attributed to a remarkable
power Of condensation peculiar to the
leaves and bark of this species of ever
green.
In the island of Ferro there are many
species Of weeping trees" but in this
latter case the tears" appear to be
most abundant when the relative hu-
nudity is near the dew point.

CuriOsities About ObservatOrfes.


The first recorded observatory was on
the top of the temple of Belus. The
tomb of Osymadias in Egypt was the
second. This last contained a golden
astronomical circle 200 feet in diam
eter. Another at Benares, India, is be-
lieved to be almost as ancient as either
of the other two. The first in Europe
was erected at Cassell in 1861. That
of Tycho Brahe at Uraninburg was
built in 1876 The Paris observatory
dates from 1867, and that of Greenwich
is two years older. The one at Nurem-
berg was erected in 1878 and that at
Berlin in I'LL. The famous Bologna
tower was built in 1714. The Stock
holm, Utrecht, Copenhagen and Lisbon
observatories were built in 174O, 1850,
1856 and 1928 respectively.

an improved and easy operation in the

bleeding or pain with wooden or

The Loss of n Horseshoe.

The loss of a horseshoe exerted a
tremendous influence in the history and
reign of Henry VIII. of England. Aft
er the fall of Anne Boleyn the papacy
prepared overtures of reconciliation SO
favorable to the king that he concluded
to accept them. \ representative was
sent from Rome with the dispatches.
and when only days journey from
Calais the horse cast a shoe and fell
lame. AS the horse was a favorite
animal, the messenger determined to
wait for a day rather than take the
chances of losing the horse. The next
day the journey was resumed and Lon
don was reached, to find that Henry
that day had been married to Jane
Seymour, Protestant, that Anne had
been beheaded the day before, and all
hope of a reconciliation was lost. The
messenger was a day too late, and the
horseshoe had changed the bent of the
nations history.
