BLACK AND RED HAIR ARE AKIN.
Idea to the Contrary, Long Held, Is
Wronq.


The color of the hair, says the
Grand Magazine, is usually transmit
ted from parents to child. This is
especially true when both parents
have the same complexion. Instances.
however, are not uncommon where
children have hair black as ebony,
while the hair of both parents is a
burning red. Instead of d%isproving
the theory that a child takes after
its parents so far as the color of the
hair is concerned, this fact, it has now
been a~scertained, is all in favor of
the doctrine. Red hair, in fact, is by
its structure and composition much
nearer to black hair than TO blond.
Very often, If the hair of a very
dark complexioned person be exam
ined at~tentively, a few quite red hairs
will be detected in the mas On the
other hand, it would be time wasted
to seek for black hair in the locks of
a fair person. Similarly it is not in
frequent to notice children whose
hair, red at birth, becomes as they
grow older quite dark. When, too
after some serious illness, the produc-
ton 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.

weapon IN a Duel win a RUSSIAN.
A short time ago a prominent rail.
road man of Canada went to China to
look the ground over with a view to
building railroads. He was supplied
with letters Of introduction which
gave him entrance into the best clubs
of the cities he visited.
After dinner one night he was
watching some diplomats playing pok.
er. Internationally an American gave
offence to a Russian attache.
The American apologized, but the
Cars official was not to be %appeased,
and the mar from the United States
appealed to the ~onlookers. The Can't
dian took up his part and subSe-
quently his hand.
The game, however, vas not to pro-
coed, as the Russian declared that the
Canadian had also insulted him. Later
his second waited on the Canadian,
and said that as he was the chal.
lenged party he would have the choice
of weapons.
The railroad builder took the mat
ter as cody as a European duelist and
replied that the man whose hand at
cards he had taken wotrld act as his
second. The Russians envoy again
said that the Canadian, being the
challenged party, would have the
choice Of weapons.
"All right" he said, Let 1t be the
Canadian weapon-the axe"
The affair ended that night and the
Russian paid the bill, which was for
supper, wine and cigars.

1t was a church sociable and for the
entertainment and instruction of the
guests the committee had prepared
some slips Of paper on which were
printed a word ~puzZle-that is, a lit
tie story was told, with certain words
indicated by blanks. The guests were
expected to fill in the blanks with the
proper words and the one succeeding
in guessing nearest the total number
of words correctly should have the
prize. After the slips had been filled
they were read by their holders. In
its puzzle shape the slip bore some
thing like this:

man who asked him, What is

Most of the contestants had sue
ceeded in filing the blanks so that the
anecdote read pleasingly-some of
them were ever funny; but the shock
ing surprise of the evening came
when the young son of the local livery
arose and read his effort. He
was stopped after the second sentence,
being evident that he had not thor.
