VANITY OF MAN.

"Why does a man always run his hand
through his hair when he takes his hat
off?" asked an observant man. Did you
ever notice that man will invariably do
this very thing? 1t is just a nervous
habit? Is it vanity? 1t is an old habit
l have never known a man who did not
indulge this habit. Even men who have
no hair to run their fingers through, men
whose heads are IS bald as billiard balls.
viii brush their hands over their heads
when they life their hats. If the men
simply wanted to smooth their tousled
hair of course, this would afford ample
exclamation of the habit. But why should
a man who has no hair on his head do the
same thing? 1t is not sufficient answer to
say that such a man may have had
full suit of hair at one time, and that
il is simply a matter OF habit contracted
under different conditions. As a rule,
men are unconscious of the fact. They do
not know why, how or when they run
their hands over their heads. But they
do it Just the same. Go into a court
room. or at any place where men con-
gregate, and where ii is necessary fo-
them to remove their hats, and watch
them. You will observe that every man
will go through the same performance
and it seems to be perfectly natural
thing for them to do. My own conclusion
is that it is an evidence of vanity. A
man wants his hair TO be just so. Origin
ally. probably it was simply matter of
tidiness. But it has grown into an act
of vanity. The lawyer, for instance. If
he has enough hair for the purpose, will
want his head to have a tousled appear
ance 1t gives him a studious appearance.
and leaves the impression that he has
been struggling with the books. What
ever the reason the habit is a curious
one. and one which seems 10 be a deep
rooted one in the masculine nature. -

OSTRICH RAISING.
Importance Of the Industry in the
United States.

From Town and Country.
recent shipment of forty ostriches to
Nice. on the borders of Italy and France
from California. directs attention to this
growing California industry-the culture Of
the African ostrich in America. Just about
fifteen years have elapsed since the Ameri-
can ostrich farmers gave their first serious
attention to this subject. Now the ostrich
industry is well established in the United
States. some eight hundred birds existing
in the country, and these will doubtless
form the nucleus of that immense number
that one day will cover the mesas of south
ern California. the meadows Of Arizona,
the vast plateaus OF Texas and the ever
gladeS of Florida as their kind do the
African veldt today.
The ostrich has come to stay. He costs
little to keep-not more than the ordinary
Sheppard yields an annual value of $50 to
the proprietor. One man can take care of
hundred ostriches. The creature is hardy
and of careless appetite. The average in
crease to the stock each year is between
fifteen and twenty ostriches to pair. Some
have been known to produce as many as
thirty-Seven in year. The birds are kept
In pens in California, and a source of reve-
nue. has been found In exhibiting them to
many tourists who are attracted there In
cubators showing the various stages of os-
trich life are also on view. A growth from
the size Of duck to a height of six feet
is question of only six months.
When the birds are year old their feath-
ers are ready for the market The cropping
is accomplished by covering the ostrich S
head with hood and plying a pair of
shears. This process takes place every
eight months. The feathers on the large
side wings are cut off near the roots, the
smaller feathers on the tail are pulled out
without injury to the bird. for on the care
now bestowed depends the future health of
the coming feather. In the course of three
weeks the stems left start to fall out and
new feather begins to grow, which in
due time is taken off for the benefit of the
ostrich farmer. These feathers are graded
and sent to the feather manufacturers of
New York who make them up into those
beautiful articles of dress so dear to the
hearts of those who wear them. When the
American woman can buy only the ostrich
feather of the American ostrich the most
sangufne hope of Edwin Cawston, the pio-
need California ostrich farmer. will have
been realized. Two million dollars each
year will then remain in the country. in
stead of going to London, and another mag
nificent industry will have been added to
the already vast resources of the greatest
of all republics

SILK AND LACE CURTAINS
New Designs This Spring for Styles at
the Windows.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
NOW Is the time, more than ever. when
the window draperies need to be looked
over and possibly replaced with lighter
summer curtains. New designs in these
are plentiful, whether the requirements be
the simplest net muslin curtain or the
most elaborate of ornamental hangings. An
attractive summer curtain is of white or
cream-colored net. edged with broad
ruff1e. which is headed and corded with
renaissance lace. A new design, in the
popular Swiss applique is the trellis and
rosebud pattern. which. like another hay-
ing graceful medallion and wreath pat
tern. has everything to recommend it on
the score of good taste. Some Of the Swiss
curtains are simply bordered with the rib
Don DOW design. which is so pretty for bed
rooms. while others have beautiful ALI
over patterns. In some of the applique
curtains spotted net is used as back
ground. the designs adapted to it having
a charming Brussels lace effect Another
variety OF curtain which could not well be
improved upon where a light delica tie
drapery is required, is of the needle-run
saxon lace. worked with dainty floral de-
sign. The Marie Antoinette curtains with
their true lovers knots and other prettv
devices in lace braid. and embroidery upon
net are style which always find favor,
especially IN these days, with their pen
chant for Louis XIV and Louis XVI. and
then there are the soft muslin curtains
tambour-worked or embroidered which may
be draped so artstically. For cottage bed
rooms the printed muslin curtains are eff

is desired. Some of this springs new de-
signs show white grounds sprinkled with

Men Fear Laughter.
From the Atlantic.


Men who fear nothing else, shrink from
joke upon themselves. Soldiers who do
not finch before opposing guns dread to
be made ridiculous Woe to the
national hero who makes one trihing mis-
take which may subject him to clever car
feature! His meritorious career is hence
forth Swallowed by one colored illustra-
ton. comic paper will tip the scales
of justice, snatch the victor's prize from
his extended palm, and rob the orator of
his choicest laurels. A brilliant satire will
mar the fortunes of the greatest states
man: a laugh will turn the tide of a DO
litical convention.
Indeed, the joke is fast becoming
mightier than the pen. The orator has
learned its value, and even the clergy
man resorts to it when he desires to stir
the tagging interest in his flock. It fur
nishes sufficient excuse for the impertinenee
of children. and in its name the daily
papers deride the highest national digni-
taries. What is the meaning of its steady
growth in power: and what results NAV
we predict from its humorous tyranny? Is
there a chance that our keen relish for fun
may finally produce kind Of humorous
dyspepsia resulting from overindulgence
unless witk epicurean discrimination we
demand quality, not quantity, and stub
bornly refuse to swallow. other than that
which should appease wholesome nay,
cultivated appetite in jokes?

The Unknown Swamp.
From Leslie's Monthly.


Within twenty miles of one Of the largest
and most energetic of the southern cities
of the coast. and on the border lands of
two of the Oldest southern states, there lies
a district some 200 or 300 square miles in
extent. but little better known at this day
than 1t was $50 years ago. when George
Washington himself laid out route
through its wilderness. The name alone.
1.-The Dismal Swamp" is a byword every
where. When the spring is far enough
along for the wild honeysuckle and jasmine
and the arbutus vines to be hanging in
delicious masses over the sides of the
bitches and reaching down to the red
brown water, Of a color so clear and warm
and sunny, then there is festival time In
the swamp. Companies of young people
come from the villages lying around the
borders Of the swamp. twenty or thirty at
a time. with some slight camping outfit
embark on large. fat-bottomed dugouts
that draw but little water and they are
poled up the bitches for ten or twelve miles
from the fertile farm lands of the outer
world to the savagely luxuriant beauty of
a lake hidden in the midst of the wilder
ness. Then at camp on the lake shore
they spend night or two, fishing in the
lake. polling along its shores, doing a little
shooting, perhaps much dancing in the
evening and merrymaking. until they are
poled out again, often by different route.
A real spring festival that has been a ha bit
in that country for many years.

GOAT MEAT.
To Be Placed on the Market by a Big
Packing House.

-
Packing House.
From the Kansas City Star.
Plans are well under way for the estab-
lishment of an Angora goat packing house
In Kansas City. The men identified with
the new venture live in Texas and Chicago,
and have secured charter from the state
of Texas. The concern will be known as
the Angora Tactic Food and Packing Com
pany, with a paid-up capital of $15O,OOO
James c. Page. retired Chicago board of
trade operator, is president of the new
company; DR.. ]. F. Mckinley of Chicago
vice president; Edward Baldwin Of Chi
cago, second vice president, and Dr. Han
son of the Lake Side Hospital, Chicago
treasurer. Arrangements have been made
with the Home, Land and Cattle Company
or Texas to finance and manage the bust
ness end of the corporation and maintain
the Texas office.
DR.. Mckinley. vice president of the COM
pany, was In Kansas City last week and
consulted with DR.. w. C. Bailey, editor OF
the American Angora and Stockmen, and
an extensive breeder of goats, relative to
securing location in Kansas City From
here Dr. Mckinley went to Texas to con-
suit with the managers of the company
He is expected to return to Kansas City
soon with definite. plans to the attitude
OF the company toward Kansas City.
In discussing the matter with a Times re-
porter yesterday Mr.. Bailey said: when
Mr.. Mckinley left he was most fayorably
impressed with Kansas City and believe
the new plant will be located here OF
course, 1T will begin on a small scale. 1t is
an experiment, and it's prime object is to
create market and encourage the raising
OF Angora goats This city is undoubtedly
the most available for packing plant The
company proposes to kill Angora wethers
for their meat. small fresh mutton trade
VIII be established in this territory, but the
principal aim of the plant is to cam goat
VenlSon for the export trade, which is prac-
tlcally new venture. DR.. Mckinley is firm
IN his belief that Europe will be a big con-
sumner of goat products as soon as its me-
d1clnal virtues become known. He says
goats are not susceptible to consumption,
as are cattle. In Lapland and other coun-
tries, where the Inhabitants use goat and
deer milk as a diet and very little beef,
consumption Is unknown. The company
proposes to invade the foreign markets and
build up a new industry Of a meat for in
valids.
The plant will also be equipped with a
tanning outfit, and the skins of the animals
VIII be made into robes. very large per
cent OF the fur garments in use today are
MADE from the Angora fleece, which will
give the carcass an additional value DIR.
BAILEY says the company will establish the
lacteal branch of it's business somewhere in
Iexas, where Angora milk will be con-
densed and desiccated to be sold for medici-
nal purposes. Cheese will be manufactured,
and macaroni and cheese will be packed
and placed on the market.
