A Chicago man has observed that
"Good deeds are better than real es-
tate deeds-some Of the latter are
worthless. Act kindly and gently,
show sympathy and lend a helping
hand. You cannot possibly lose by
it. nMost men appreciate q kind word
and encouragement more than sub
~stantial help. There are persons in
this community who might trutlifully
say; "My good friend,cheer UP. A few
doses OF Cl.amberlain's Cough Remedy
will rid you OF your cold, and there is
no danger whatever from pneumonia

MUSKRAT ARCHITECTURE.
@~~~@@@@@~~~~~@<n~~@


The muskrat builds a most comfort
able house. In an article entitled "The
Keeper of the Water Gate" published
in Leslie's. Popular Monthly, Charles
G. D. Roberts describes this strictly
utilitarian structure. The entrance,
dug with great and persistenttoil from
the very bottom of the bank, for the
better discouragemen of the muskrats
deadllest enemy, the mink, runs in
ward for nearly two feet, and then
upward on a long slant some five or
six feet through the natural soil, to a
point where the shore is dry land at
the average level Of the water. Ovel
this exit, which is dry at the time of
the building, the muskrat raises his
house.
roughly rounded heap of grass roots,
long water-weeds, lily roots and stems
and mud with a few sticks woven
into the foundation. The site is Gun
ningly chosen, so that the. roots and
stems Of alders or other trees give 1t
secure anchorage; and the whole struc-
ture, for all it's apparent looseness, Is
so we'll compacted as to be secure
against the sweep Of the spring fresh
cts. About six feet in diameter at the
base, it rises about the same distance
from the foundation, rude, sedge-
matched dam, of which something
more than three feet may show itself
above the ice.
To the unobservant eye the musk
rat house in the alders might look like
a mass Of drift in which the rank wa
ter grass had taken root. But within
the clumsy pit is shapely, small,
warm chamber, lined with the softest
grasses. From one side Of this cham
Der the burrow slants down to another
and much larger chamber, the floor Of
which, at high water, may be partly
flooded. From this chamber lead
down two burrows, one, the main pas
sage, opening frankly in the channel
Of the creek, and the other, longer and
more devious, terminating in a narrow
and cunningly concealed exit behind
a submerged root. This passage Is
little used, and is intended chiefly as
a way Of escape in case Of an extreme
emergency, such as, for example, the
invasion of particularly enterprising
mink by way Of the main water-gate.
The muskrat is no match for the
snake-swift, bloodthirsty mink, except
In the one accomplishment of holding
his breath under water; and mink
must be very ravenOus, or quite mad
with the blood-lust, to dare the deep
water-gate and the long subaqueous
passage to the muskrats citadel at
seasons Of average high water. In
times Of drought, however, when tho
entrance is nearly uncovered and the
water goes but little way up the
dark tunnels, the mink will often gilde
in, slaughter the garrison, and occupy
the well-built citadel.

Beds and Bedsteads.

Bedstead originally meant "the beds
place." The truckle-bed was the first
advance on the bench, and then the
tester suspended from the roof. Then
came in the Arabian bed-a name, per-
haps, derived from the Crusades. Tbs
four-poster came from Austria in the
fifteenth century. rhe late Queen Vic
toria always carried her bedstead
about with her, and SO did the mobiles
in the Middle Ages. The coverlid, OK
counterpoint, whence comes counter
pane, was often splendidly embrolder-
ed. Yet the beds at this time were
often only sacks Of straw. Feather
beds came from France in the four
teenth century but straw was in gen.
eral use long after. Blankets Of wool
were not introduced by Blanket Of
Bristol, who made them, for the word
in the sense of a coarse woollen fabric
existed before.

Greatest of Linguists.

Cardinal Guiseppi Merchant, who
died in 1S49, surpassed all other men

his tongue, but without confusion. He
spoke fluently no fewer than So differ

so. Lord Byron, who knew him we'll,

from China, and it is made up for our
colored people. Over there's a lot Of
It," There was lot of it-bushels.
'It's almost as stiff, you see, as horse
hair, and it's not worth much more an
ounce, only few cents
what is the most costly hair?"
THAT" said the merchant, holding
up a bunch of beautiful snow-white
and silken teresses. "That, way be-
yond anything. 1t looks like silver,
but it's worth it's weight in gold.
'"That's old lady's finest natural
white and it costs you $50 an ounce.
I'll sell you an ounce Of Chinese hair
for rs cents. That's the difference"
"Where do you get it?"
"Where do you get anything that
brings money? Our agents look for
it. The peasant women in Europe don't
set great store by their hair; they all
wear caps and headdresses, and even
the girls think nothing Of cutting off
their coils or queues for 81, which
they can spend on trinkets or clothes
at the next fair"
what comes next to the odd lady's
finestY"
"Why, this" showing hair which
was neither so snowy nor glossy as the
first sample.
That's plain natural white and it
is worth about $15 an ounce. Then
comes gray, worth from Sc to 81 an
ounce Then the hair runs in descend
ing scale-drab, black, brown and dark
brown, worth from SIS to SIG pound;
about an average Of 81 an ounce if
there's no drab in it. Look here, for
instance"
He led the way to the end Of the
long wareroom, opened deep box and
drew from it and threw down on the
counter a heavy bundle Of vari-colored
or rather tinted hair, most Of the
strands shading from light brown into
dark brown or light black. The odor
was overpowering, but not offensive.
"There are twenty pounds in that
bunch, and not two ounces Of drab in
it. The whole thing came with a lot
from Russia. It's worth about $3.50"
"Was it all cut from the heads Of
living women?"
Indeed it was. We don't touch the
other kind; it's no good. You can tell
it at glance; it's coarse and brittle
and it's dry and-well, it gives itself
away."-New York World.

The Worlds Great Want.

They are trying to arrange it so that man
may safely fly;
They are trying to learn more about the
stars up in the sky;
They are digging up old ruins so that
each of us may know
Just what people did for pleasure and
for profit long ago;
Here and there is some one trying to
revive the love of art,
Here and there some poet bravely sings
a song that's from the heart,
But away with art and science and the
Babylonian brick,
What we want is some sure way in
which to Get Rich Quick.
Men are fighting still for freedom, fight
ing still to have the right
To address their God unhindered when
they kneel to pray at night;
They are chatting meath oppression as
their fathers did before.
They are Juggling at the letters which
their luckless parents wore;
Here and there some man arises and
attempts to let us know
How to make fair Peace forever the
sweet mistress here below,
But we have no time to bother over such
affairs; we stick
To the hope of finding ways in which to
Get Rich Quick.
The preachers keep on preaching of the
glories over there
Where the boodlers cease from troubling
and the prospects all are fair,
The anxious, eager doctors keep on striv-
ing to defy
Grim Nature and arrange it so that peo-
pie needn't die;
But away with all che dreamers and the
foolish ones who preach,
Who cares what the stars are made Of,
or what ancient tablets teach?
We are looking for the hero who will
show us all the trick,
Who will kindly point the way in which
to Get Rich Quick.

BIG BALES OF HUMAN HAIR,
Where the Supply for the American
Market Comes From

Where the Supply for the American
Market Comes From.
It is not pleasant to have a bundle
of twenty pounds of human hair
thrown down on a counter before you.
There is not only the pervasive odor,
not necessarily offensive, but the at
tendant suggestion Of it's origin, the
reminder of the squalid, unromantic
surroundings in East Germany or
Southern Russia, where reckless or av-
aricious peasant girls come to the fairs
and voluntarily have their pigtails
cropped for a ruble or a form an
ounce.
Looking at a row Of boxes filled with
brown, chestnut. drab and golden
tresses, the air of the wholesale store
house redolent with the oily, ineffable
human smell, ones thought is natural
" of a romance Of old world starvation
and women's sacrifice. Such reverie
is disturbed by the wholesale mer-
chants placid quotations: You'd
think France would buy most hair,
wouldn't you? Well, it doesn't. Eng
land does. But France comes next.
We're a warm third.
1.-The best hair comes from Germany
and Austria Hungary, Little Russia
and Italy. The cheapest hair comes
