The Col Il Of Hair.

From the color Of 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 moro studi-
Gus and bright than girls with dark hair.
In mathematics and recitations these
boys and girls, he asserts. especially ex-
eel. On the other hand, he says that
boys and girls with brown hair are
most likely 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 to 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 tbs
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 foregd
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 contribution OF
two yen. II was thought too much for
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 10 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 compiled
with. In every village a 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.
Since the outbreak Of the war the gov
ernment's bonds have been twice issued
at home, and each time the subscription
more than trebled the amount called for,
the imperial household taking the lead
by subscribing 10000, 900 yen. Thus the
hardships of the war are cheerfully borne
by every man, woman and child In the
land.

Good for England.

The i'll wind which is blowing to-

In his address to Publishers at the
Battle, Creek banquet Mr.. Post likened
the growth Of q modern commercial
enterprise to the growth Of an apple-tree.
Good seed. plenty OF work and water
are needed. but the tree will not bear
apples without sunshine.
The sunshine to the commercial plant
is publicity secured by advertising.
1t is impossible even with the heaviest
advertising to make success unless the
article has merit of high order. Merit
is the good tree and sunshine makes
the apples grow. A good salesman

WE'RE EXPENSIVE LUXURIES
Alteration Between Grocer and Bel

Purchases Cost Much.

Il knew a case where basket o
grapes and quart Of oysters cost $50.
said Attorney Jacob Ingenthron, In tn
Chicago Daily News. They were no
a very superior sort of grapes, nor |
specially high-class brand Of oysters
just about the ordinary kind Of boil
commodities. What made them 81
expensive was the natural desire o
two persons who have a quarrel to &c
even with each other.
Zone Saturday night Mrs. Schultz wa;
going home with a basket Of grapes
She went into Schaefer's store to buy
a quart of oysters. She set her bas
ket on the counter and asked for whal
she wanted. When she got them II
the usual paper pail she opened 1t, be-
fore paying, to examine them. She
did not like the looks Of them. In
fact. she became so indignant and ex'
cited at sight Of those oysters. tha'
she upset the pail, accidentally OF
otherwise, throwing some of the oy'
sters on the counter, and most of then
in the sawdust on the floor. Then
she refused to pay for them.
"Schaefer got mad and seized her
basket of grapes, saying he would KEEP
II instead of his oysters. She called
him a fraud and a swindler, and he
elected her from the store.
Then Mrs. Schultz went to the
nearest police station and had five
warrants made out against him for as.
sault and battery, malicious mischief.
threats to kill. common assault and
disturbance of the peace. Schaefer
was arrested and had to give bonds
for his release. costing him five dol
lars. Next morning. when his case
was called. he took continuance,
costing him five dollars more, five dol
lars also going to his lawyer.
Annoyed at this bother and ex-
pense, Schaefer had Mrs. Schultz ar
rested on five different warrants for
malicious mischief, willful destruction
Of property, assault and battery.

When she was brought in her case was
continued to the same day as his. and
she also had to give bond for her ap-
pearance. costing her five dollars. with
FIVE dollars more to her lawyer. When
the cases came up again both sides
said they wanted time to bring wit
resses. So the cases were continued
once more, with FIVE dollars apiece
more to their lawyers. When the cases
finally came up and were disposed OF.
both Schaefer and Mrs. Schultz wer"
put under peace bonds, costing them
$3.50 each.
