PASSING of the Blonde.

A writer in the Contemporary Re-
view predicts that the blonde type Of
humanity is scheduled for early ex-
tinction, and that the brunettes VIII
soon have the earth and everything
upon it. He declares that he has
found evidence. in favor of his asser-
ton that everywhere The conclusion
is the samoa dark type supercedes
the fair"
There is no record availsbl at this
time to show when and how the
blonde complexion originated. but 1t
is easy to guess that it is one OF the
oldest institutions on earth. Delve deep
into the uncertainties of mythology
and you will find fair ladies and light
haired warriors. The early masters
put on canvas the pinkest of cheeks
and the most delicate hues OF pale vel
low hair: so also did they paint por-
traits of the brunette type. In all
probability the blonde dates as far
back into the worlds history as the
brunette. -,
against the dark hues may find some
comfort in the announcement that the
blonde type will not be banlshed from
the earth for half dozen centuries

Should Brush Hair More.

Very few men brush their hair
enough" said downtown barber.
Fact. Most ills of the scalp can be
traced to that fault. You see it's this
way, man is generally in a hurry
when he dresses and he never takes
time to brush his hair, simply smoothes
it down, generally only with comb.
and, as a result. dandruff is allowed to
accumulate and trouble begins. How,
with a woman it's different. woman
has to carefully brush her hair at least
once a day. If she didn't it would be a
pretty mess; it's very length saves her.
for in brushing it each day she gets
out all sorts of impurities. dandruff
and the like. all of which is for her
own good. Now, that is the chief rea-
son why fewer women suffer from dan
druff than the unfortunate members of
the opposite sex, and it is also the
reason why the hair is woman's
browning glory, even if she is fair, fat
and forty. So brush your hair every
morning thoroughly, if you want to
keep in the swim. You're right. Next,
sir. "-Philadelphia Record.

Shine Just Where You Are.
(EXchange.

(EXchange.)
Don't waste your time in longing
For bright, impossible things;
Don't sit supinely yearning
For the swiftness of angel wings;
Don't spurn to be a rushlfght,
Because you are not a star;
But brighten some bit of darkness
By shining just where you are.
There is need Of the tiniest candle
As well as the garish sun;
The humblest deed is ennobled
When it is worthily done;
You may never be called to brighten
The darkened regions afar;
So fill, for the day, your mission
BY shining just where you are.
Just where you are, my brother,
Just where God bids you stand,
Though down in the deepest shadow,
Instead of the sunlit land;
You may carry a brightness with you
That no gloom or darkness can mar
For the light of a Christian spirit
By shining just where you are.

Eternal Punishment.

Rev. Thomas l. Gasson. S. J., profess
sor of ethics in Boston college, in a re-
cent lecture spoke on 1.-The Teaching of
/ the Catholic Church Regarding He'll
and said in part: I'VE must carefully
distinguish between the calm, sober
teachings of theology and the assertions
of the feTvid preacher who strives by
vivid coloring and by verbal emphasis
to impress his hearers with the weight
ness of his theme. With regard to the
subject of hell the church teaches that
it is primarily a state of Punishment. a
! state Of exile from that home of I'M
alloyed happiness the Inhabitants of
which enjoy the direct vision of God.
For those who merit heaven a state
of endless happiness in the fruition of
the unveiled vision Of God is prom
Used; to the others who die in a state
Of rebellion, in condition of voluntary
separation from God. there will be
awarded the punishment of endless ban
ishment from the home Of everlasting
joy.
This state of unending Punishment
from God constitutes the radical torture
of the condemned. for any rejecting
man who has grasped the purpose of
life, who realizes what it is to be an
intelligent being with a destiny so lofty,
so ennobling as that held out to him
by Christian theology, must clearly per-
ceive that there can be no agony
greater, no torture more insupportable
than the grief which must follow the
sentence of perpetual exile from the
face of God.
1T is sometimes thought that this
home of everlasting Punishment is in
consistent with the idea of a God of
love and of mercy. They who so ar
que forget that the doom is a self-in-
flicted one, that the exile is really self
imposed. He'll may not be very cheer
ing object for reflection. but it is GER
tainly a very fruitful one. for it teaches
most emphatically the solemn dignity
of life, and it asserts most forcibly the
truth that the final triumph belongs
to justice and to righteousness. Cath

Tots to Make Their own Toys.

One of the many quiet charities in
which Mrs. Ogden Mills interests her
self promises to have great many
limitations, for it seems to have all the
elements of success. She is the princi-
pal hacker of a vacation school project
intended to teach the children of the
poor to make their own toys. Some
thing of the sort has been done in Eng
land, and perhaps Mrs. Mills borrowed
the basic idea from that source. But
she has enlarged on the original theory
and tbs school she is to found will be a
much more ambitious Institution than
its British prototype. The youngsters
who attend Mrs. Mills school will be
taught to make not only their own
playthings, but their own ornaments.
Mrs. Mills rightly holds that there
must be something beyond prosaically
useful things in every child's life to in
sure happiness. She does not agree
with the conventional founders of char
liable institutions who think the plain
est of dress goods gooG enough for or
phans, nor does she believe poor chill
dren ought to PROSTATE themselves in
gratitude merely for being taught to
cook, sweep and sew. But she is con-
WINGED that if children make their own
toys they will appreciate them, and
that the same rule applies to the sim
pie adornments, without which no
youngsters life can be rounded out

past the demand for dyes has been

From the point of view of the average
man, beauty is seen in both blonde and
brunette types. But for some reason,
which is not satisfactorily explained,
many women even incur expense and
great deal of worry and energy to
get into the blonde column. So is

blonde must go, the girl who is as fair
