Iha Lininq of His Crayat,

You have often heard the Quest:on, Where a mans treasure is, there will his heart be also. said city dctcr- tive. Il saw an illustration of that not long ago on a railroad train. A de tcctivc employed by the railway com pany and l were seated near a country man who adjusted his nccktie every few minutes.
 "'That tie bothers the old man. I said to my companion.
 "'Don't think it's the tie,' replied the railroad detective.
 Then he leaned forward and said to the farmer Better take your money out of that necktie.'
 "'Who told you I had money in my tie:' demanded the farmer.
 "The detective then explained that his actions in adjusting his neckwear led to the supposition. The farmer ad- mitted that he had chosen the tie as the hiding place for a number of bills.
 "'His idea was all right concluded the detective, but he couldn't keep his hands off the cravat.' "-Kansas City Star.

Lena Hair a Mark of Homer.

In olden times excessively long hail was considered a mark of honor and rank. For many centuries long hai1 was in France the distinctive mark of kings The ancient Persians and Par thians of high caste wore long. f1owine, hair while the poorer classes were obliged to cut theirs short. Homer speaks of the long haired Greeks by way of distinction.
 The Gaus considered long hair :; mark of honor, but Caesar obliga' them to cut it off in token of submit: sion Long hair was thought by the Franks to denote high birth, and th" Goths looked upon it as a distinctive mark of culture and honor. Short hail was considered by nearly all the o = nations to denote thraldom, and even now criminals have their heads shaved Denver Times.

Different Names For Waves.

They have curiously different names for waves about the coast of Great Britain The Peterhead folk call the large breakers that fall with a crash on the beach by the grim name of "Norrawa (Norway) carpenters" On the low Lincolnshire coast as on the southwestern Atlantic fronting shore of these islands, the grandly long un- broken waves are known as 'rollers.' ' Among east Anglians heavy surf. tumbling in with an offshore wind or in calm, is called by the expressive name of "slog," while a we'll marked swell. rolling in Independently of any blowing, is called ''home." 'There is no wind,' Suffolk fisherman will say, "but nasty home on the beach," Sui folk men also speak of the bark of the surf. and a sea covered with foam is spoken of as Heather white" The foam itself is known as spoon drift. So, in the vernacular, we have it, "The sea was all feather white with spoon drift"

Qualities of the Oyster.

 "It seems that when oysters are taa ell from the sea they often open tho; shells so that the juice or liquid runs out. AS this is undesirable. the expert enced oyster gatherer has tub of Wa ter close at hand into which the oyster is plunged as soon as it begins to open its she'll

Art and Happiness,

Artists are not as class the happi est of mortals, but that is because they fail to relate the ideal nationally to life rather than because they are VOW ed to standards of perfection. Unhap piness comes upon them as it woulc upon any one else-in consequence o' folly and indifference and willfulnes>- and their devotion to art which is of ten held to be the cause of their mis fortunes. is in reality the only mitigat, ing factor in their lives.-Bliss CarmaE in Craftsman.

SHRUBS A NECESSITY.
They Give a Charm Which Nothing
 Elee Can Supnlv

Every resident of community owes ! certain obligations to it which he can ! not slight without annoyance to those i about him. One of these duties is to 1 observe order aud care about his prem | ises. X home which k the very per l lection of ncatncSS and beauty may he i thoroughly spoiled by d slouchy place ! adjoining it. IL is the duty of every l citizen to keep his grounds clean and ! attractive, and they can bc made beau i ty spots with little care and expense. When one resident takes up this work , others usually follow. and whole ! blocks are thus hcautiticd This is ! what makes the town attractive and i brings new residents In an article on beautifying yards in the Home Magazine Eben E. Rcxford says:
 Every yard ought to have it's shrubs | They give to 1t a charm which nothing l else can supply. On very small grounds they take the place of trees very satis- factorily. Indeed, they are preferable there because they are not likely to outgrow the limits assigned them, as trees will in time, and they do not make shade enough to bring about the insanitary conditions which are almost always found to exist in small places where the trees have made strong de. velopment.
 Shade is pleasing feature in sum ner but there is such thing as hay ing too much of it. We frequently see places in which the dwelling is almost hidden by thicket of trees, and ex animation will show that the house Is always damp and that the occupants of it are unhealthy. Look at the roof, and you will be likely 70 find the shingles covered with green moss. The only remedy for such a condition of things Is the thinning out or removal of some of the trees and the admission of sun light. Shrubs can never be charged with producing such a state of things hence my preference for them on lots where there is' not much room.
 Vines can be used upon the walls of the dwellings and about the verandas and porches in such a way as to give all the shade that is needed, and, with few really fine specimens of shrubs scattered about the grounds, trees will not be likely to be missed very much. I would not he understood as discour aging the planting of trees on places where there is ample space for their development. A fine tree is one of the most beautiful things ill the world, but it must be given a good deal of room, and that is something that cannot be done on the small city or village lot It takes years for 8 tree to grow to good size while a shrub will-or ought to at least-bc in it's prime the third or fourth year from planting and gener- ally affords q satisfactory degree Of pleasure to it's oWner from the start.
