1t is certain that blond, long headed
men once played great role In history
for it was they who colonlzed Galatia
and brought home the treasures OF
Greece and Italy to Toulouse, who
overthrow the Roman empire In the
west and won England from the Brit

now and that it is tending to die out
This is especially true Of that pro-
nounced form Of blends which Is dis
tingushed by red hair. Red haired
persons do not now constitute the ma
jority in any known tribe or nation,
but one authority sets forth grounds
for thinking that rcd hair was once
much more prevalent.
1t must have occurred, for instance,
among the Brahmans. since they were
forbidden by the laws OF Manu- to
marry red haired women. There is no
doubt that blends and red haired per

Origin of Earrings.

According to the Moslem creed the
reason why every Mohammedan lady
considers it her duty to wear earrings
is attributed to the following curious
legend: Sarah, tradition tells us, was
so jealous of the preference shown by
Abraham for Hagar that she took a
solemn vow that she would give her.
self no rest until she had mutilated the
fair face of her hated rival and bond
maid. Abraham, who had knowledge
of his wife's intention did his utmost
to paclfy his imbittered spouse, but
long in vain. At length, however, she
relented and decided to forego her plan
Of revenge But how was she to full
fll the terms of the VOW she had en-
tered into? After mature reflection
she saw her way out of the difficulty.
Instead of disfiguring the lovely fea-
lures of her bondmald she contcnted
herself with boring hole In each OF
the rosy lobes of her ears.
The legend does not inform US wheth-
err Abraham afterward felt 1t incum-
bent upon him to mitigate the smart Of
these little wounds by the gift OF a
costly pair Of earrings or whether Ha-
gar procured the trlnkets for herself.
The fact remains, however, that the
Turkish women, all of whom wear
earrings from their seventh year, de-
rive the use Of these jewels from Ha-
gar, who is held In veneration as the
mother of Ishmacl, the founder Of their
race

unfairly taken on herself I'm the old

Miss De Vaux no longer talked to

Thus year passed. Fenella was

THE METHODlZER.
Thoroughly Informed, Quick to Stop
Losses and Increase Profits.

Thoroughly Informed, Quick to Stop
Losses and Increase Profits.
"A methodizer," says a writer in the
Saturday Evening Post. "acts us ply
sician to commercial patients, makes a
searching examination OF a business,
demands Of its proprietors their fullest
confidence in giving him a clear view
of its conditions and then prescribes Il
series OF changes in the system by
which the business is conducted"
What the methOdizer most often finds
is clnging to old and Anticipated
ways. He naturally first examines the
books of the concern. These may show
what is the matter or they may be so
kept as to fail to show conditions
which must be known before the cause
Of the lack of success can be discov-
cred. The methodizer's remedy for this
case is not hard to guess. 1t Is a
modern keeping OF accounts. II the
methodlzer does his client any good,
he does II by getting him out Of the
ruts in which in the majority OF cases
he has been travelling. shows him
where to apply the strenuous effort,
how to use his energies and his re-
sources according to modern methods.
A Suggestive Fact For the Farmer.
Possibly the professional methodizer
will not Immediately receive calls from
farmers. But the fact that these shrewd
detectives of the causes Of lack Of sue
cess in business and manufacturing are
able to rejuyenate almost dead concerns
and put them in the way of rendering
valuable services TO mankind for which
mankind is willing to award them
prosperity, this fact ought to
suggest to the farmer who has made |
only moderate success thar II careful |
examination of his methods conducted |
of the older children, may point to the
use of some "hOme remedies" with good
results.
PROFIT and Loss Accounts.
In majority of cases the farmer who
wishes he were in the class Of the emf
lently successful will find that he has
neglected entirely the important matter
}. keeping books Now. keeping books
consists not merely in making rigid
account Of household expenses. Impor-
ant as this is, it may much better be
united than may those accounts which
