of the very Oldest fixed types Of dog

the countries that for ages past had

hounds" long legged, light built dogs,
bred to run their game by sight and
not by scent and to overtake 1t not by
wearing 1t down. but by sheer speed
and skill Of running. How this type
was evolved affords much interesting
speculation.
"A greyhound Is probably the fastest
creature that moves upon the earth"
says breeder Of those animals. 1T
Is on record that a greyhound beat the
famous race horse Flying Childers. An
absolute trial between horse and grey

the greyhound will run all he can
But dog that can start, say, fifty
yards behind hare and overtake 1t

The same writer says of greyhound

THE MYSTERY OF SLEEP.
No Man Knows When the Moment Of
Inconsistencies Comes.


There is remarkable fact connected
with sleep which must not be over
looked The sleep of human being
It we are not too busy to attend to the
matter, always evokes certain feeling
Of awe. Go into room where a per-
son is sleeping, and it is difficult to
resist the sense that one is in the pres
ence of the central mystery of exist
ence. People who remember how con-
stantly they see old Jones asleep In
The club library will smile at this, but
look quietly and alone even at old
Jones and the sense of mystery will
soon develop.
1t is no good to say that sleep is only
moving" because it looks like death.
The person who is breathing so loudly
as to take away all thoe ght of death
causes the sense of awe quite as easily
as the silent sleeper who hardly seems
to breathe.
We see death seldom, but were it
more familiar we doubt If a corpse
would inspire so much awe as the I'M
conscious and sleeping fgure-a smil-
Ing, irresponsible doll, flesh and blood,
but doll to whom In second may
be called a proud, active. controlling
consciousness which will ride his bodi-
ly and his mental horse with a hand
of iron. which will force that body to
endure toll and misery and will make
that mind, now wandering In paths of
fantastic folly, grapple with some great
problem or throw all its force into the
ruling, the saving or the destruction
of mankind. The corpse is only so
much bone. muscle and tissue; the
sleeping body is the house which a
quick and eager master has only left
for an hour or So
Let any one who thinks sleep is not
mystery try to observe in himself
the process by which sleep comes and
to notice how and when and under
what conditions he loses consciousness.
He will, of course, utterly fail to put
his finger ON the moment of sleep COM
ing, but in striving to get as close as
he can to the phenomena of sleep he
will realize how great is the mystery
which he is trying to fathom.

Corset Novelty.

A decided novelty is a new corset
which proposes to support the back'by
pressure of two crossed straps inside
the back of the corsets, the ends Of
the straps being anchored to the front
steels on the outside. Seems almost
like the proverbial lifting ones self
by the boot-straps, yet the inventor
says that 1t not only rests the back,
but gives the wearer the very best
new figure" with fiat back and slen.
der hips. Furthermore, that the back
steels can never turn and dig into the
flesh, be the corset laced ever so tight
ly. For the sake of suffering woman
kind, 1t is to be hoped that this back
resting corset may prove to be all that
its designer claims for 1t.

PLEADS FOR COLOR HARMONY.
Tints That Vlbrate VIII Rest and
Soothe, Declares Milliner.

That harmony of color has its effect
on the nerves is the theory followed
by a milliner.
Take a well-appointed table, for in
stance, with its soft-shaded candle
light" she says in explaining certain
hats. 1T pleases the eye, relaxes the
nerves and one forgets under its spell
the brutality of feeling.
"An unshaded clear white electric
light is enough to take away the appe.
lite from even the hungriest man. 1t
is like eating under an X-ray.
Take the soft rose lights of the
dining room of the Carleton in Lon
don, for instance. l mention 1t be.
cause 1t is the most perfectly har-
monious room as to coloring that
know of anywhere.
"The women look pretty, the men
handsome and distinguished, and one
does not have to resort to the vulgar
cocktail to see the rosy side Of life.
The pink shade answers the purpose
quite as well and saves the digestion.
America has much to learn on this
subject. Most of its hotels and places
of amusement are most unbecomingly
treated. And / maintain that one rea
son American women wrinkle so soon
is that they have to face such strong
lights.
There is no vibration in black, and
yet 1t is the favorite apparel Of the
multitude. We are overrun with black,
birds; sometimes they vary 1t with a
wash Of white; then they become mag
pies.
II designed a hat the other day for
a most interesting woman, Buddhist
1t was like weaving Persian rug
The materials were all in half-tones
and so becoming.
II do not sacrifice the individuality
of my clients, either, to my creations
but study the lines and contours Of the
head, the face and figure, and match
the tones that have the proper color
vibrations to suit the hair and the
eyes.
only in this way can one expect
results which are altogether happy
and distinctive. There Is no mystery
in 1t at all, only common sense, as you
| am sure, will agree, once you have

Sheep Getting Back on Farm.

There is no danger OF any person
getting into trouble in predicting that
from now on the sheep is to be re
turned to its proper place on the
farms. And why not, when It makes
by far more money out of the grass
and the weeds, and the seeds, the
roots, the grains, the hay and any.
thing else fed to 1t than any other
kind OF animal we raise, and 1t does
that without one needing to milk or
grind for them? All this is required
TO give the feed as It comes from the
field, only that turnips had better be
cut. Does that not tell, and tell ma
terially, when the labor saved is con.
sidered. how we can farm, farm well,
and cut down expensive labor bills?

Hair Powders.

At the seashore and wherever warm,
humid weather is encountered, the
woman with straight hair has much to
contend with. Unless unusually lux
uriant, straight hair is always difficult
to arrange becomingly, but in hot
climate the task is an almost impos'
sible one Some kind of powder
rubbed into the hair as often as neces-
sary will do much to keep the stray
locks manageable, but of course the
powder must not be recklessly used
or It will defeat the very end for
which it is aiming. Swedish hair pow
der rubbed into the hair twice, three
times, or oftener, a week, is particu.
larly good, as 1t also acts as a tonic
and strengthens the roots of the hair
besides keeping the scalp in good con-
dition.
