The history of the casting OF statues
is one long story of patience. When
Benvenuto CeIllnl cast his great Per-
seus according TO rules which his own
genius had laid down, overwork and
exposure had so undermined his
strength at the critical moment that he
was obliged TO take TO his bed and leave
the rest of the process to some faithful
workmen no understood his plans.
Finally. however, one of them came
rushing into his sickroom, where he
lay dazed and grooming with pain. and
told him with many lamentations that
the process was a failure and that the
metal was caked.
Cellini sprang from his bed, ran
across the street and rapidly dragged n
load OF dry oak wood back 10 his fur
mace. He made a roaring fire. and.
finding that the base alloy in his meta
had been burned out, he threw in all
the pewter vessels OF the household.
Then the metal bubbled. the great Per-
sens was cast, and the maker and his
faithful friends exulted.

Men Who scnIp rhem.eIye..

We still end men who have unlimit-
ed faith in the old fashioned idea OF
giving their hair 100 strokes with the
brush night and morning." said the
old barber. "Some of them are not
content with the old fashioned hogs
bristle brush. They use Il wire brush.
electric or otherwise. It's all fake.
A brush drags out the hair by the roots
much more quickly than comb. A
man-who wants TO save his hair should
use the brush as little rs possible. with
women it is different. They have thick,
long hair, and II it is not brushed
lnily 1t is likely 10 fall out. Besides. a
brush gives gloss 10 the hair, and that's
what women like. But with man o
healthy head of hair looks as well
without the gloss as with it. All that
IS necessary for him is to keep the
scalp clean and use the comb. He has
very little use for the brush."-New
York Press.

The dreariness of the middle aged
view of life springs largely from the
fact that lis ideals are so shrunken as
to be no longer source of vitality, of
renewal. AS long as we believe in life
and in love and in friendship and in
herolsm and in other ideal possibilities
life is worth living, and we are strong
to take our part in it. Living for ideals
is happy and courageous living. Llv-

4. Criminal para .,sse..

SPANS criminal settlement in the
Zafarina Islands is said TO be quite a

restricted only so far that they must

leave OF absence for the night. AT 6
O'Clock in sihe morning the conyicts

work, but the majority go straight to
the various wine shops and hostelrIes,
where they pass the day drinking, sing

monotony of life with a little knitting.
