DISAPPEARANCE OF BLONDE
Encourages Brunette
Population.

The somewhat startling statement has
been made that the blue-eyed, golden
haired, and light-complexioned variety
of the human race is in the course of ex-
tinction, and that. within a few more
generations, blondes are likely to be-
come so rare in the worlds population
that they may be looked upon as curiOst-
ties, somewhat as albinos are to-day,
writes Garrett p. Serviss, in Success
Magazine. The blonde type has been so
often chosen by artists and poets to rep
resent their noblest conceptions of hui
man beauty that no one can regard even
the bare suggestion of its extinction
without dismay. Moreover. some of tho
worlds greatest races and many Of its
most masterful personalities have be-
1onged to this type, and its admirers have
sometimes gone SO far as to aver that
light complexions, and in particular
light-colored eyes, are the favored livery
of the highest genius.
This is undoubtedly an extreme and
untenable claim ,and yet It cannot be de-
MED that history shows an extraordinary
number of men and women of the first
rank in all the higher fields of intellect
who possessed the characteristic marks
of the blonde, and this not only in coun-
tries where the light type prevails, but
also in lands like Italy, where the gen.
eral complexion OF the population IS
dark

A WARNING 70 MOTHERS.

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather
of the summer months to guard against
bowel troubles. As a rule it Is only
necessary to give the child dose OF
castor oil to correct any disorder of the
bowels. Do not use any substitute,
but give the oId-fashicned castor oil,
and see that 1t is fresh, as rancid oil
nauseates and has tendency to grippe.
If this does not check the bowels give
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy and then a dose OF
castor oil, and the disease may be
checked in its lncipiency and all dan
ger avoided. The castor oil and this
remedy should be procured at once
and Kept ready tor instant use as soon
as the first indication of any bowel
trouble appears. This is the most sue
cessful treatment known and may be
relied. upon with implicit confidence
even In cases of cholera lnfantum. For
sale by all druggists.

IN PHOTOGRAPHS OF FISH.
rectly Portrayed in Camera
Productions.

The most remarkable set of fish pho
tographs ever published-photograp
that were taken in an absolutely
unique way under picturesque circum-
stances-appear in Country Life in
America. The whole episode will go
down as the most sensational in pho
tOgraphic history. For IA years Julian
A. Dimock has been watching the great
leaping tarpon of Florida in Its mar
velous jumps into the air at the prick
of the anglers hook. He told his ex-
periences to the editors of Country Life
in America, who told him to photo
graph the leaps if it took six months.
1t did. The first months were total
failures, but at the end of the half year
he came north to Sixteenth street, with
q perfect photographs that show ev
cry stage of the aerial leaps of the 200
pound seven-foot fish.
To achieve this result Mr.. Dimock
put up at a little old hotel, in Golfers
Bay, Florida, set his camera shutter at
speed of one five-hundredths of Sec
ond, and then, with his silent guide,
lived on the water in the deep narrow
pass where Golfers bay makes for
the deep sea. He showed his patriot
ism by floating in the water three flags
that ran the color gamus of red, white
and blue. The red flag at the end of
rs feet of slim tarpon line; the blue
flag registered so played out feet, and
the white flag terminated 100 feet.
When the tarpon was struck and the
three-inch hook had settled we'll into
the grfstle' of his mouth the guide kept
him as near the boat as he dared with
the tiny line (only one thirty second
OF an inch thick). Then the fish would
begin to leap out of the water-eight
feet for the first leap and 20 or 80
leaps-and the red flag would dip in
and out
Mr.. Dimock would rapidly fix his TO-
Gus for distance less than 25 feet,
and snap the fish in the air, with his
shutter tuned to C. speed of a half
thousandth Of second. Often enough
the fish would splash water into his
eyes while he was pressing his button;
time and again the fish snapped the
line before the camera could be aimed, !,
and for weeks the Florida weather
m1sbehaved. But finally the giant tar
pom !eaped only 18 feet away, actinic
air prevailed and the firsh recorded
themselves on the sensitive plate in a
way that will be valuable to lovers Of
sport and nature students for a CEN
tury to come. To the eye of the fisher
the gill action Is not visible, but the
camera proves their rise and fall
1t was only the other day that a
prominent writer (who had observed
tarpon frst-hand) said in newspaper
article: They leap backward-always
backward" He will now know better,
for Mr.. Dimock's pictures prove that
they leap forward, edgewise, "any old

COLDS AND THEIR CAUSES.
Why Some Persons Are More Liable
to Become Affected Than
Others.

The really important question is, In
what does predisposition consist? We
talk of man Catching cold" But it
would be more correct and equally
graphic to say that the cold has
Caught" the man. For it does catch
him unawares, and often when he least
anticipates it. But no cold ever caught
any man unless he had first prepared
the ground for 1t by a careful process OF
fertilization.
No amount of mere exposure to low
temperature alone will cause "cc.d"
in perfectly healthy man, in whom
the product Of wear and tear Of nerve
and muscle, with adequate excretion OF
waste products, on the one side Is even
ly balanced by food supply and exerciss
on the other. Where the equilibrium
does not exist such exposure then oper-
ates as Chill"
Now, who are the people who are
liable to catch cold? Not those whose
dietary Is so carefully adjusted to the
work they have to do that there is no
opportunity for the accumulation Of un-
used foodstuffs in their tissues: but
those who, in the better-fed ranks Of So
ciety, eat and drink more than they
need to meet the daily requirements of
their bodily activity. and are thus con-
tinually storing up in their tissues and
excreting organs material which if ap-
propriately used would form valuable
ammunition for the development OF
energy either of body or mind, but which
when stored beyond a certain point has
to be blown of In cold" or ''bilious
attack" or In a pronounced fit of gout.

GYPSY TRICK WITH HORSE,
Cunningly Transform Wind Broken
Plug Into Shining Steed and
Sell Him,

It Is to be presumed that day or so
before there could have been found in
a gypsy camp not far away broken
horse, worth, perhaps, G6 in open
market. Then began such a groom

as must rank among the fine arts, re-
lates Outing. Name and tail were
miracles of braiding, intertwined with
fresh straw and fetchingly beribboned.
Into the crowded village was led a
mettlesome and shining steed, care
fully escorted, too valuable, forsooth,
to be put up for sale. After the horse
was tied near a popular public house,
three or four rustics strolled up to the
owner of the beast, who looked to be
all 'hayseed." They looked the bar
gain" over, shook their heads in dis
appointment that no dickering was
possible, and drifted into the tap room
of the pub" Presently other farm
ers pricked up their ears and wanted
tc see the horse. And SO it went on
until the cleverly disguised gypsies
who made up the original bunch of
''rustics" had created a strong under
current of interest setting toward the
transformed plug"
The first show of cash came from
among the masquerading farmers,
whose identity lurked only in the mid
night eye and shifty glance with the
true gypsy slant in the corner of it.
And after some hours of palaver, over
many mugs of beer, it was one of
these "made-up" Hodges who closed

JAPANESE NAVAL SURGERY.
First Time Science of Shell Wounds
Has Been Studied Under
Good Conditions.

The essential feature of the work at
Sascho naval hospital is that 80 per cent.
of the cases Of ordnance wounds are in
fiicted by shell and not by bullet. Here,
then, says the National Review. for the
first time in history, the science of shell
wounds is being studied under good mod
ern conditions For In South Africa
hardly five per cent. Of wounds, even
early in the war, were inflicted by shell.
and these we're scattered up and down
the country through dozen different
hospitals, so that a concrete study OF
their peculiar features was impossible.

tillery, and earlier wars are Of as little
use to the modern surgeon as to the mod
ern officer of artillery. During the first
six months Of the present war 180 cases
Of naval shell wound had survived to
reach Japan. The report, therefore, OF
the medical department of the japanese
navy at the conclusion of the war will
make a definite addition to surgical
science. 1t will be of all the greater in
terest in that the three surgeon generals
of the navy know English well, and will,

BEGINNING OF TIME TABLES
Railway Guides of the Early Days
Are Now Viewed as Curl
Gus Relics.

1t is just IS years ago since George
Bradshaw, the Quaker engraver and
mapmaker, of Manchester, England, was
first inspired to publish his Time
Table" 1t was tiny pamphlet bound
In green cloth, and was nothing more
than collection of the monthly time
tables issued by the seven railway COM
panies then in existence in England.
or this volume there are now only four
copies In existence, but they are worth
their weight in gold, says railway ex-
change.
SO encouraged was Bradshaw by the
success of this time table that in 1910
he published his Railway Companion, -
volume of 3S pages, with maps which
sold at shilling. These early guides
were published rather irregularly be-
cause of the difficulty of learning the
changes In times from the railway au-
thorities. They resented Bradshaw's
interference and put every obstacle /.

THE WILD DOGS OF INDIA.
Very Shy and Cunning CANNES That
Are Not Easily Cap
tured.

Mrs. Nora Gardner describes an exper-
ience while hunting big game in the CEN
tai provinces of India. relates the Chi
cago Daily News, as follows: I'VE had
been shooting for some months and up
to certain date had had very good luck.
Tigers and other beasts were plentiful.
and our bag was good one. Suddenly
our luck changed. Blank day followed
blank day-not because we had missed
easy shots or had to reproach ourselves
for losing wounded beasts; but simply
that we had seen nothing in the shape OF
wild animal to shoot. Pachmark, the
hot weather. station of these parts, was
just above us, so my husband and l. with
a few servants and baggage coolies.
started to climb up the hill. He and
were riding little in front, when he drew
my attention to number of kites and
vultures circling in the air just ahead.
Here this, of course, meant carrion or a
dying beast of some kind, and we sent on
'syce' to see what it was. The man
came creeping back on all fours. Wild
dog, sahib! Wild dog!' he said.
my husband got his rifle as quickly
as possible. He crept forward and sud
denly came on the pack making off near
ly 300 yards away. He took hurried
shot at the last in the peak and missed.
The rest galloped off to the right, the one
he had aimed at going to the left. While
we were bemoaning our luck the 'syce'
touched my husband. Look. sahib. he
comes back!' and, sure enough. away to
the right. we saw the dog going back to
join the pack How he crossed the track
without our seeing him is a mystery. He
was already 200 yards off. My husband
made most brilliant shot, and got the
dog Just as it was crossing the bank to
the river
wild dogs are not only very shy, but
very cunning and very seldom shot.
They do an immense amount OF damage.
AS soon as pack takes possession Of a
jungle everything else leaves it. Even
tiger will go If he smells wild dog. This
accounted for our recent bad luck and
the little game We had seen lately. The
one we got was young dog, rather like
a fox, but with longer legs and body.

were six in the pack and they were de-
vouring g. young buck they had just

sernent Shrines in India.

Serpent worship still survives in In
dia and a good snake shrine is said to
be as much an attraction in house
on the Malabar coast as a garden is
in the case of a country home in the
United States. Serpents are, however,
most unobtrusive and unless one walks
noiseless and barefooted in the dark,
as Hindoos do, snake bite is an i'm
probable contingency.
