A Georgia statesman says that

darby, who was just leaving the place
with a pair of lex spectacles. says the
Youths Companion.
As the old chap neared the door
his eye lighted upon a most ~extraordi-

The Color of Hair.

From the color Of a mans hair may
be learned a good deal in regard to his
Intellectual ability, says a professor
who has for some months been closely
studying the subject. School boys with
chestnut hair, he maintains, are likely
to be more clever than any Others, 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 studi-
u and bright than girls with dark hair.
In mathematics and Rotations these
boys and girls, he asserts. especially ex-
eel. On the other hand. he says that
boys and girls with brown hair are
most liRely to attain distinction through
their individuality and style. and that
those with red or auburn hair do not
often excel in any respect

PATRIOTISM OF JAPANESE.
From Empress Down to Peasant Girl
All Make Sacrifices to Help
Relief Fund.

Societies and associations have been
organized in Japan 10 relieve the fam
lilies OF the fighting men, and every one
makes certain contributions to the relief
fund. Some men contribute money or
goods. some their labor, and most OF the
lint and bandage used for the wounded
are the works of women, from the en-
press down to the peasant girl, writes
Nobushige AmenOmori, in Atlantic.
Little boys and girls willingly forego
their daily sweetmeats, and give the
small moneys thus saved to the relief
societies. A boy II years old in a country
school made one day a contribution OF
two yen. 1t was thought too much for a
country boys gift. The school-teacher
and the alderman of the village suspect
ed the money might have been given the
lad by his parents to satisfy his vanity;
in which case it should be admonished
against. An inquiry was accordingly
made, and brought out the fact that the
boy had actually earned the money for
the purpose by devoting his play hours
to the making of straw sandals. Even
some criminals working in prisons have
made several applications to contribute
their earnings to the funds, though
their wishes have not been complied
with. In every village n compact has
been made that those remaining at home
should look after the farms of those at
the front, so that their families may not
be disappointed of the usual crops.

How to Make German Pie.

A delicious pie of German origin is
gaining favor here. 1t is made Of crust
raised over night, as bread is raised,
with the addition of an egg worked into
1t in the morning. Sweetened to taste.
this crust Is rolled out about an inch
thick, laid in a pan and the edges
trimmed. Peaches cut in slices are then
pressed into the dough, %sDrinkled with

stead of peaches, and likewise buckle
