Their Work ~ Danger High Up In
the Mountains.
Throughout the whole chain Of the
Alps there are men who make it their
business to search for and root up the
gentian, arnica, puffballs and other Al
pine flowers.
High up in the mountains the root
grubber, generally an old man, builds
little hut. He chambers precipices
to the edges, where the blue flowers
grow; or, IL he cannot ascend, he let's
himself down to their place Of refuge
by rope fastened to pine above.
he wanders to long distance from
bis hut and does not always trouble to
return to 1t at night, finding shelter un-
der a rock. Next morning he spreads
all the roots he has collected on a rock,
where they may dry.
He collects herbs as well as roots.
and the resin from the pine besides.
When the summer is ever and there
are signs Of snow, the root grubber
collects all together In his little hut and
finally transports the vale Of his six
months collection to the Valley.
The arnica and some other roots used
u medicine are readily disposed of.
From the gentian is made the favorite
sentian brandy, which is considered
ne very elixir of life by the mountain

hooked to eyebolts near the end of the
side. A brace bar composed OF two
pieces Of gas pipe is secured to the
draft rod, one portion being larger and
admitting the smaller portion, the ad-

pin. The swingletree is attached to the
front Of the draft rod, and In operation
tends to guide 1t straight, while the
pressure on the blade of the grader

the machine away from the earth.
The machine can be adjusted for diff

the advantages are convenient means

Valued RELIGION. ReIicn.

The collection Of religious relics to
be seen In the church of the Corsican
village Of Sisco Is undoubtedly unique.
The inhabitants OF this pretty little
place are exceedingly devout and very
simple. which probably accounts for
the possession of such a remarkable
collection. A writer In Independence
Beige gives the following list of the
principal items: The horn used by Mo

HAIR AND COLOR.
Ned IA Much Nearer Allied to Black
Than to Blond.

The color Of the hair, says the Grand
Magazine. is usually transmitted from
parents to child. This is especially true
when both parents have the same COM
plcxlon. Instances. however, are not
uncommon where children have hair
black as ebony, while the hair of both
parents Is burning red. Instead of
disprovins the theory that child takes
after its parents, so far as the color of
the hair ia concerned, this fact, 1t has
now been aScertained, Is all IN favor of
the doctrine. Red hair, in fact, is by
It's structure and composition much
nearer TO black hair than to blond,
Very often If the hair Of a very dark
complcxiOned person be examined at
ten ely few quite red hairs will be
detected In the mass. On the other
hand, it would be time wasted to seek
for black hairs In the locks of @ fair
person. Similarly it is not lnfrequent
to notice children whose hair, red at
birth, becomes as they grow older quite
dark. When, too. after some serious
Illness, the production Of the coloring
pigment Of the hair falls off, black hair
becomes not blond, but red. Fair hair,
which to a casual eye appears to have
much more affinity to red hair than to
black, Is, on the contrary, quite dis
tinct.

There is very singular race of peo-

The Kubus approach, put their forest
treasures on the ground, beat a gong

tires, and the Kubus reappear and con.

ONE OF NATURES TOOLS.
How TeaEeIs Are Used In Finishing

now NenHels Are Used In Finishing
Different Cloths.
Growing by the wayside you will of
fen see that stately, spiny looking
plant, the teazel, but / wonder how
many know that 1t has helped to finish
many piece Of cloth they wear.
We are apt to think of a tool az
something Of mans make, yet here is
one Of natures own, and nothing has
ever been manufactured to successful
ly take its place. For ages the teazel
has been used for fulling cloth-that
is, raising the "nap"-and the manu-
facturers refer to map goods" thus
treated as "gigged."
When ripe, the dried spike heads are
gathered, packed carefully in bundles
and shipped in all directions to facto-
ries. The variety. mostly used have
the extreme end Of the spikes hooked
or curved backward. This is called
"fullers' teazel" These heads form a
sort Of brush and are attached to q
wheel or cylinder which revolves
against the surface of the cloth, and
these curved spikes catch part Of the
threads and pull them up making a
fuzzy nap. This is trimmed down and
leaves that soft. velvety finish to the
cloth. The spikes have strength enough
and elasticity, but when they come In
contact with rough place in the cloth |
they break and so avoid tearing the |
material. Try as they may, no one has
ever been able to invent a tool possess
ing all of these qualities, so the teazeI
stands unrivaled for that use. The
plant as we see it growing wild looks
perhaps at first glance somewhat like
thistle, but 1t really has a dignity
