selves do. Of the society women of
Vienna, far famed for their vivacity,
grace and exquisite gowning, Countess
Minsky was one Of the most brilliant.
Her intellect from her earliest girl
hood, however, was too vigorous and
comprehensive to content itself with
social nothings The venerable Emper-
or William l. Of Germany was one
Of her stanch friends. In q printed
sketch of her life appears letter writ

emperor, thanking her for a photo

him. Her liveliness and intellectual re-
sources made many pleasant hour
for the venerable ruler
She was the intimate friend Of the
Empress Elizabeth of Austria, who
met SO tragic fate. The young count
ess' life was as gay and brilliant as
any girls could possibly be- yet her
mind was always ON more serious
work, particularly work for universal
peace. This last seemed her mission.
In 1875 she was married to Baron
Adolf Won Suttner, who was seven
years younger than herself. Until the
baron's death two years ago the pair
lived an ideally happy life. Soon after
their marriage both began to do lit
erary work. Novels, essays ard sketches
came rapidly from the baroness vigor-
GUS pen, SO vigorous that none Of the
thousands Of readers who were fasci-
mated with her work dreamed it was
done by a woman. None was more
surprised than the editors for whom
she wrote were when they found their

The Color Of Hair.

From the color Of mans hair may
be learned good deal in regard to his
intellectual ability, says 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-
GUS 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 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 Fdnd.

Societies and associations have been
organized in JaEan 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 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
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 tho
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 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 100000 yen. Thus the
hardships of the war are cheerfully borne
by every man, woman and child in tho
land.

our grandfathers, says Parsons Mag
azine. ~ -
Why? Many influences are, of course,
at work In producing these interesting
changes; advanced medical science has
practically conquered the contagious
diseases and has largely decreased In
FAINT mortality; improved sanitary and
hygienic science has saved the lives OF
thousands Of city dwellers; but, after
all, no single influence is SO important
to the welfare of our physical being as
the food we take into our bodies. "As
the coal is, so is the engine"
No study, then, could be more inter-
esting and important, as bearing on this
question, than an investigation Of the
changes in our food fashions. Do we eat
the same things that our grandfathers
did? If not, what Is the trend of our
diet-toward the, food of the vegetarian,
which includes the much-advertised
modern food products, the Cereals" or
toward the old diet of the meat-eater?
Upon this point the last census gives
US striking and conclusive informa-
ton. It shows, indeed, the most ex-
traordinary changes in our diet, and
changes that point to a single, consis-
tent tendency.
In short. we are becoming more and
more nation of vegetarians.
In the matter Of mutton, for instance,
every 100 Americans in 1850 consumed
"a sheep, nearly sheep to each man,
woman and child; in 1900 the consump-
ton had been reduced to so sheep to
every 100 persons-a reduction of almost
half. More remarkable still has been
our turning from pork-11S hogs to
every 100 persons in 1850-more than
one hog for each man, woman and child
to 43 hogs in 1900. We are still large
eaters of beef, however, though here,
too, there is a reduction of 20 per cent.
from Is beeves to 100 persons in 1850, TO
20 beeves in 1900
But what of milk, butter, cheese, eggs,
and poultry, which must be considered
as meat foods in contradistinction to
those which are strictly vegetarian.
Here, too, though the statistics do not
cover the whole period of SO years, we
find interesting changes; mostly large
increases. For example: In 1880 the
supply of eggs was 500 dozen for each
100 persons, and in 1900 it reached
LOO dozen. In the same period the sup
ply of dairy products increased by more
than threefold. The only dairy product
showing decrease is cheese: SO years
ago each person ate Az pounds annually:
In 1900 the amount had dropped to one
half pound.
Reducing all these various meat prod
ucts to a common denomination-dol-
lars and cents-we find that our meat
diet as nation has decreased in 50
years by about SO per cent.
