WAS HIS LAST HARANcUE.
Cornerstone Orator Cut Short in His
Tirade Upon "Women-

A group OF Cyrusville's citizens had
gathered as usual round the stove in
the corner store. and. as often hap
pened. James Corning was holding
forth on the trials Of his kind, relates
Youths Companion.
What do women folks know OF care
and trouble?" he demanded OF his au-
dience. Sheltered in their homes
with jest few little household duties
to make the time pass, and when night
comes the privilege OF sitting down to
the evening lamp. while the man OF
the house puts on his hat and goes
out into the darkness and often into
the storm. and walks, maybe half a
mile, to fetch home the paper, SOS his
family can have the news next day.
No need for them to think of earning
money-no-"
Mr.. Cornings mouth dropped wide
open as a'stern-visaged woman stepped
in at the door and up to him.
I've heard you'd been giving these
little talks" she said, clearly, "and
I've come down to wait for the mail,
SOS you can go home and take my
place sitting by the evening lamp
You'I find a basket of your socks

All the mountains in Switzerland
have suddenly been reduced in height
by about ten feet! In 1920 the tip
Of certain rock in the Lake of
Geneva was calculated to be 1866
meters above ocean level. and on this
basis all the SUBMITS in the country
were calculated Recently the dis
cove~y was made that an error had
been made in fixing the height Of that
rock, and that it is 2.26 meters lower
than it was marked.

SQUIRRELS HIDING FOOD.
Contrary to General Belief, the Hol-

While certain members Of the squir.

food in hollow trees, | think. writes
John Boyd. in Recreation. most Of
them hide it on the ground, under old
roots. brush piles and even beneath
heaps Of dead leaves Their tracks

While it may be that this frequency
Of the tracks indicates q scarcity Of
food. and the travelling about a desire
to hnd a supply. / believe. in the
main that these outings OF the squir-
rels have a definite destination, be-
cause when you see them skip across
the snow, stop short. and scratch a
hole down to the ground, bringing up
supply Of nuts OF cones. placed re
in the months Of plenty. you are apt
TO attribute their luck more TO a good
memory than TO any haphazard specu-
lation
OF the squirrel family the most
prominent in winter are the blacks.
He seems to be flowing over all the
time with pent-up energy. which keeps
him IN constant motion. and you some
times feel that you would like him TO
be able TO talk and tell you how
pleasant it is to have the JOY which
flows from a glad heart Now watch
him jump from limb to limb, rush
headlong down the trunk and course
across the snow in long, graceful
bounds. with no apparent purpose but
to exhibit the happiness within him.
His red cousin once in awhile may
be seen at the entrance to his home

and their track in the deep snow is
a heavy fioundering Of labored bounds
as they go from tree to tree in search
OF the scanty provisions hidden be-
meath the surface. Here and there we
find the gummy scales Of the pine
cones, the shells OF the acorn, the
seed cones OF the birch and cedar
scattered about on the snow. showing
the food on which they subsist In
greater contrast to the delicacies just
named, often one will find during long
and severe winters that the squirrels
have attacked the hemlock trees by
stripping them OF their bitter seeds.
When one finds this il is evidence Of
great want, and a merciful act would
be to bring some food and scatter IL
about to assuage the pangs of hun
ger which these little fellows are
enduring.

BLACK Hair strongeat.

Black hair is stronger than golden
tsessss. and viii sustain almost double
the weight. Recently German scien-
tist has been experimenting. and has
found that it is possible to suspend q
weight of four ounces by single hair,
provided the hair be black. Blond
hair will give way at varying weights
dependent upon the exact tint A
yellow hair will scarcely support two
ounces, a brown will hold up three
without breaking. while very dark
brown win sustain sp additional half
ounce. The greater vitality Of the
black hair is declared TO be the reason
fof the preponderanoe of blond bald
heads, and according to this expert
menter. a person with jet black hair
win still enjoy a full growth. while
the blond will have been bald for
seven and half years.

OR the fourth successive night the
II good people of winnemucca made
I their kindness substantially felt
among the unfortunate refugees passing
eastward over the Southern Pacific
lines.
Sandwiches and coffee, sorely needed
articles of clothing and for the toilet.
and number of other necessities were
distributed with free hand among the
400 calamity victims who occupied the
coaches on two sections of No 6 last
evening.
Every one aboard the train was given
to eat in plenty and all expressed their
gratitude to tbs. SWSnnemuccans in
hearty cheers as the trains pulled out
from the depot.
The effect of the kindness of the peo-
pie of this town toward the refugees has
been made evident as far east as Battle
Mountain. where word has been sent
ahead that aid there was not necess ~
owing to the liberal donations of the
people of this town.
The organization of relief commit
tee by citizens Of the town was followe |
yesterday afternoon by the women per-
fecting an organisation, as result CT
which they have gotten the work well
in hand and on a systematic basis The
women gathered at the millinery parlors
of Mrs. w. s. Porter at o'clock. TIL ;
following committees were appointed:

1t is probable that the crush of refu-
gees bound eastward is nearly over and
that after the next few days none will
pass through except for disultory par
ties. Already the Southern, Pacific Com
pany alone has taken over 225.c)0 people
out of San Francisco. and the San a Fe

~ AN FRANCISCO. April 26.-The las
of the earthquake shocks to visit
this city was felt yesterday, and it
served to help tear down several of the
tottering buildings. although it did no
damage otherwise.
The work of relief has been taken out
of the hands of the Red Cross Society
and placed in charge of the local relief
committee.
Investigation has developed the fact
that the majority of the members of the

and irresponsible persons.
The ruined city has been thrown open
to everybody and thousands are now
pouring in to search for missing rela-
tives and friends.
All able bodied men are being put to
work at wages, from $3 to Sc a day be-
