A ROMAN MANAGERS" WOES.
Spent s4oo, 900 on a eladiatorial "Pro
duction" and All Went Wrong.

Symmachus, last of the great
mobiles of Rome, who, blinded by tradi-
tlon, thought to revive the glories of
his beloved city by reviving its shame
graphically describes the anxieties of
the preparations for one of these col
ossal shows on which he is said to
have spent what would be about So
600 pounds sterling of our money.
He began year in advance. Hors-
es. bears. lions, Scotch dogs, croc-
odiles. chariot-drivers. hunters, actors
and the best gladiators we're recruited
from all parts. But when the time
drew near nothing was ready. Only a
few Of the animals had come, and
these were half dead of hunger and
fatigue. The bears had not arrived
and there was no news of the lions.
AT the eleventh hour the crocodiles
reached Rome. but refused to eat and
had to be killed all at once in order
that they might not die of hunger.
IL was even worse with the gladia-
tors who were intended to provide. as
in all these beast shows, the crown
ing entertainment. Twenty-nine of
the Saxon cantives. whom Symmach-
us had chosen on account of the we'll
known valor of their race. strangled
one another in prison rather than
fight to the death for the amusement
of their conquerors.
And Symmachus. with all his real
elevation of mind. was moved to moth
ing but disgust by their sublime
choice! Rome in her greatest days
gloried in these shows. How could
a man be a patriot who set his face
against customs which followed the
Roman eagles round the world?--

The DAYS Work.

Much of the success of life depends
on proper preparations for the days
work. Most people wort. either to
get the most out of themselves. To
rise late, rush through the toilet and
gulp down q hasty breakfast is no
preparation for good days work, yet
It is safe to say that the majority of
women begin the day in this way. 1t
is just as easy to rise in plenty of time.
II one will only do it. The tendency
on waking is to stretch and yawn. A
few minutes spent in this deep breath
ing Is always restful, says the House
keeper. This should be followed by q
few breaths of fresh air, drinking
couple of glasses of water, exercises
that suit the case, the bath and toilet.
This forms a mental attitude consis-
tent with a good days work. A sim
pie breakfast--some take none
should follow before an unhurried
Journey either to Office or the routine
of housework Stand erect, breathe
erect. think erect. and half the battle
Is won.

1t is interesting to learn that war songs
are almost wholly absent from their

haikais-characteristic of their poetic

Her eyes Primroses.
Matsura Basho was a master Of the
art of Matchmaking. On one occa-
sion he came upon a party of rustics
who were drinking sake and filling up
the intervals in endeavors to compose
haikais upon the full moon. Taking
the poet for a mendicant priest, they
urged him to try. Basho, pretending
reluctance. began: "'Twas the new
moon" The others interrupted
him with ieers and reminded him that
the subject was the full moon. Quite
in different to their sarcasm, Basho
went on:

Noguchi of San Francisco, printed

Bos'n Must Go.

Among the changes now on the car.

SO far as one can gather the idea is
to make all boatswains of less than
fifteen years seniority qualify as gun
ners. and let this rank gradually die
out, as that of the old navigating Off
GERS has done. These alterations will
remove one of the oldest warrant
ranks In the navy.

was originally called, was in the ear
lier days a much more important in
dividual than he is today-in fact he
seems to have ranked almost as high
as the sailing master of the ship,
Ropes and sails and masts and yards
were always his specially, and the dis

seems likely to be followed by his
own. Not that there Is any lack OF

HEALTH IN HATLEssNEss.
The Sun on tho Hair Kills Microbes
Ventilation Cures Catarrh.

From an article which appeared In
Cosmos and translated for the Liter
airy Digest we learn that the new fash.
ion of going without a hat Is not linn
tied to this country. According TO
tho writer It has everything hygien-
ically in its favor and the arguments
against II need only be stated to be
refused. He says:
THE mass of hair that covers the
top Of the head is a feature Of the
human race in both sexes and appears
to be one of It's most stable physical
characteristics. Nevertheless, long
observation is unnecessary to prove
that this characteristic Is weakening
and that the vigor of the hair Is de-
creasing in man. Now q question
presents itself Is this due to transfer
nation of the species or must we at
tribute the fact to mans habits? This
second solution appears to be correct,
which Is consoling, since 1t allows us
to hope that the evil may be checked.
This loss of hair that has become
more striking from one generation to
another by heredity is due. according
to some scientists. to the habit or
covering the head.
This habit must affect the hair In
juriously in three ways: W BY de-
priying If Of the life-giving light of the
sun. of free ventilation and Of the
movement of the hairs by air cur
rents; (2), by pressure on the small
arteries Of the scalp, which bring
nourishment to the hair; (3) finally,
because all head coverings are an ex-
cellent culture medium for microbes
and facilitate their development.
The promoters of this reform are
meeting at the outset with certain
objections: Cd To uncover the head
may bring on colds, neuralgia and
rheumatism. They answer that colds,
catarrh, etc, are OF microblan origin
and cannot come from the scalp. CD
As for neuralgia and rheumatism,
they are convinced that II the habit
of leaving the head uncovered is ad-
opted in youth these troubles will not
follow. In fact, they say the uncov-
cred parts of the heaa are not subject
to them any more than the covered
part-less perhaps. (3) SO far as the
incontestable danger Of exposing the
bare head in the sun is concerned
there are many ways of avoiding this
without smothering the scalp. (D
The fear that septic bodies may be
deposited on the uncovered parts, es-
pecially in cities, certainly deserves
consideration, but care in the toilet
will enable us to escape the conseQu-
ences. (5) Finally the fear lest the
hair should be injured by sun. wind
or cold has no serious basis, since
unprotected parts of the head are COW
cred with vigorous hair"

Rules for Arranging Flowers.

In arranging flowers for the table
there a few rules to follow: Group
them loosely with plenty of delicate
leaves as a groundwork and above all
things have some regard for color in
arrangement. Do not place together
all sorts and conditions Of blossoms.
Simple, unpretentious jars are the
most suitable as flower holders. Clear
glass jars that show the stems to per-
lection are appropriate for wild roses.
A flower centerpiece on a dining table
should be kept so low that 1t will not
interfere with the view across the
