Emotional Hair.
London Tit Bits.

London Tit Bits.
Not only is emotional hair we'll
known to medical specialists. but
erery hairdresscr OF experience recog-
nizes it frequently in connection with
his owll customers.
With sninc peculiarly constituted
rcop!c the hair is affected by every
passing emotion. and n"t only does
!. reach the extremes OF crispncSi or
iinpncSS within very few hours. but
!; varies II color vastly. The latter
popularity is so we'll recognized by
every hairdrc<scr that some members
"i that calling are prepared to say de-
tinitcly ii 4 given regular customer.

great trouble on his mind Just now.
Many Z man who appears exceed

known where the single locks OF hair
that sometimes are found on 4 head
otherwise wholly black have disap-
pcarcd almost entirely and then come
again. That is to say. the white TUT
has gone almost black like the sur
rounding hair. and has then become
qii;c white again, and so on.
We ali know what use Shakespeare
and other dramatists and poets have
mad OF the influence OF emotion upon
human hair. but one OF the most cell
cbrated detective inspectors now at
Scotland Yard said to the writer in
regard to this very subject:
when | have put my hand sudden
ly onto the shoulder of man I was
arresting; I have actually heard the
rustling of his hair, or thought that |
could: at least, l have seen all the
hair about the ears palpably move like
that of an animal. and when that man
has been sentenced afterward his hair.
that had before seemed to be crisp
and brittle, has appeared dark and
thin and poor"
Two of the best known hairdress-
ers in London have assured the writer
that they have customers who go
gray and black again with few
hours. One instanced the case Of a
financial magnate who came to grief
and was tried for fraud. During the
proceedings he went iron gray, but
directly he had ben acquittd his hair
returned TO its normal color-ot
course quite without artificial means.
An other strange fact is that there
are a comparatively limited number
OF people whose hair will never take
any dye. no matter what it may be.

Supplement the Pastures.

In planning for the seasons crops do
not forget to remember that the months
of July and August may be very much
lacking in rain and pastures may be
very short. The past two years have
been so very plentifuily supplied with
moisture that we may think there will
be plenty of rain to maintain pastures
to a full luEurianCe. While such may
be the case, it may not; and we would
much prefer to have some sweet corn,
sorghum or other crop alongside of the
pastures to haul out in case the stock
need it. Rape may be sown in the
grain fields and stock turned in after
harvest. We would not SOW the rape
until the grain had made a start and
light harrow may be run over the
field after the rape has been sown. We
have never sowed rape in this way but
know Of others who have had very
satisfactory results from following this
plan. We have sowed rape in yards
and lots with very satisfa Glory re-
suits as we'll as in pastures for sheep
and hogs.
Sweet corn makes large amount OF
good feed for cattle when given to
them on short pastures. During the
drier years, sometime past, we have
fed much of it with very gratifying re-
suits. Pastures should on no account
be allowed to get too short. With few
leaves to breathe through the plant be-
comes weak and makes very> little
growth. A division fence through the
pasture allowing stock to be kept off
one field for 4 time during which the
grass can grow Will add much to the
capacity of the pastures.
Feed is high and scarce and there
will be a tendency to turn to pasture
early and much stock is unduly thin.
Such stock will be slow to make suit
able gains. 1t is well to have the pas
ture good and full before turning in
Then if the stock has had plenty of
feed to be in fair condition gains will
readily be made. All stockmen under.
stand that stock kept in good condi-
ton is more easily maintained than
those that are very poor. With poor
animal on hand it will require feed tc
get it in condition, but once thrifty and
feshy the maintenance in that condi.
ton will be easier and cheaper than tc
keep them simply in flesh enough tc
live. "Well wintered is half sum
mered,' and the reverse is equally
true.
Prepare then for emergencies. Get
your stock in condition, if it is not sc
now and keep it there in spite of diff
f1culties. Whilesthere may not be much
profit in feeding stock at present, there
is certainly none In having stock toe
poor to thrive

Wouldn't "Raise the Tune"

Cloak room loungers and yarn-spinner;
We're discussing some of the songs ant
scenes witnessed at the closing Of con.
gress, when this good story was told by
Representative Gilbert of the Blue Grass
state:
My state loves the memory of Joe
Davies. the great frontier orator, who
had a brother possessed CT much of the
talent and cccentricitics which dstin-
guishcd Joe himself This brother was
named james, if ! mistake not, and he
was a member of the cid Scottish Cove
nanter church, from which he was cX-
communicated because he sometimes got
on an overload of coffin varnish. James
Davicss had long been the official tune
raiser at all the meetings of the church.
and Notwithstanding the fact that he
bore the disgrace of being expelled from
the church without murmur, he con-
tinued to attend every service, but was
not permitted TO raise the tune
'Onc of Daviess' small children was
presented for baptism, but the preacher
refused to baptiZe it while the father
plant was uttered by DaVcss, but the
members felt ana knew that the old fell
low would raise Cain some time. That
time came a few Sundays after the refusal
to baptize the child. The preacher found
that there was not member present who
could raise the tune, aad he appealed &c
DaVieSs. The old man raised himself to
his fall six feet four and looking straight
at the preacher said:
'Ye would mark the innocent young
lamb because the old man Went astrayr
ana the devil may damn you before y
raise the tune.

Sentenced at "Rctai,,"

Representative OJcn Of Wisconsin tell:
this story Of how judge in his state
decided that a thief could not steal a
cost.
"At q session OF the circuit court in
Pcpin county, my state, a criminal was
on trial for grand larceny, the indictment
charging that the prisoner had stolen
sundry articles Of dry goods, clothing,
Shoes etc. The amount proved to be
stolen was but little more than suffcicn:
to make the required amount necessary
to sustain the charge Of grand larceny.
but the jury found the defendant
guilty, and Judge VI asked him if ht
had anything TO say why he Should not
proceed to pronounce sentence. The pris-
oner remarked that he thought the goods
he was charged with stealing were priced
too high, and if charged at cost he wou.d
not be guilty of grand larceny

that its construction of the law is that
thief cannot steal at cost. bat only "t
the retail price. You are sentenced TO
two years i'll the penitcntiary.
