ton of Colonel w. D. Mann, editor of
Town Topics, was concluded in the

number of witnesses and upon ad-
journment in the evening counsel for

testified as to Justice Deuel's efforts
to induce him to subscribe to "Fads
and Fancies;" Charles Stokes Wayne,
formerly managing editor of Town
Topics, who gave the immune list
of that publication; two solicitors for
"Fads and Fancies," and James A.

:.Fads and Fancies.''

MRS. GOULD'S SUGGESTION.
After Auto Trip She Tells How Pres

Ending an automobile trip covering
over 1000 miles, Mrs. Howard Gould,
who recently left Belleyue-Stratford
hotel in Philadelphia for Castle Gould,
said to a New York American reporter:
~ was particularly interested in the
roads, which found to be In execrable
condition in the south.
''The farmers, I found, are all anxious
to have the roads improved. AS rule,
they seem glad to note the increase in
the number of automobiles.
II wish President Roosevelt would
take up this matter Of good roads
am sure he has only to interest himself
and the good roads will come very
quickly. It is not only for automobiles
that I speak, but for the commercial In
terests of the country, and IL the papers
took the matter up and brought 1t out
in proper light the president would
grasp the situation and lend his voice
to the propa ganda."

OUNCE WAS MAN OF LEARNING.
Nickname OF Dunsscotus, Learned
Man 600 Years Ago.

Ounce" is generally applied to
dull, stupid, unteachable boys. The
person from whose name the word is
supposed to have been derived was
quite different character
It was used as term of reproach
by the Thomists to the followers of
Dunsscotus. who was their antagonist
in a religious controversy. This
johannes Dunsscotus" was a very
learned man, who lived about the end
of the thirteenth and beginning of the
fourteenth century. The Eng ish say
he was born in Northumberl- !; the
Scotch allege he was born 81. Dgis,
in the Mers. the neighboring county
to Northumberland, and hence he was
called Dunsscotus.
He died at Cologne, Nov 8, 1903.
His fame was so great that when al

hear his lectures.

Mosquito War In Germany.

Consul General Guenther, of Frank.
fort, writes:
THE director of the Breslau by.
gienic institute has announced the re.
suits of his mosquito war experiments
The first object was to destroy egg
bearing females, which were found in
large numbers in Breslau cellars. Flu.
migation was used, and the number
falling on the papers placed on the
floors often ran up to 1000 mosqui-
toes. For destroying the larvae in
pools of water 80 grains of 'larvicide'
was put into the pool. This kills all
the larvae within half an hour, but
does not harm frogs and fish. To de.
stroy the pupae is another question
which will receive attention from now
on. Breslau seems to be the first city
in Europe to wage a systematic wal
against this plague, and other German
cities suffering from mosquitoes are
preparing to initiate their plans"

The color of the hair, says the
Grand Magazine, is usually transmit.

especially true when both parents
have the same complexion. Instances,
chill have hair black as ebony,
while the hnir of both parents is

the theory that child takes after
its parents so far as the color of the
hair Is concerned this fact, II has now
been ascertained, is all in favor of
the doctrine. Red hair. in fact, Is by
