Where Red Hair Is DisIiked.

In Cornwall, particularly the Lands
End district. it is not advisa Bile to duh
person "a red haired Dane" though
In most parts Of England. especially
inland, the expression would as likely
AS not provoke no comment at all or be
regarded as simply frivolous.
At police court case heard in 1867
at Penzance town hall it came out in
evidence that the defendant had called
the complainant "a red haired Dane
and this led to an assault The strong
repugnance Of Cornishmen to be dubbed
by this strange appellation is as strong
as ever
The Celtic nations hated the Danes
and were always fighting them. And
not only IN Cornwall, but also all along
our coasts. where the Danes or Morse
men made their ravages. this deep
rooted prejudice against people with
red hair. red headed" more or less
remains ingrained in the national char.

An Admiral's Stories,

One Of the English admirals has q
choice collection of stories at the ex.
pense of laymen placed in Office at the
admiralty as consequence of turn
of the political wheel OF one lord OF
the admiralty he told delighted house
of commons how. receiving a report of
disaster to ship couched IN technical
phrase. he wrote reply demonstrating
with the officer for his use of bad Ian
guage Another civilian lord, looking
over a chart and observing that one OF
his majesty's ships. homeward bound
passed within space Of two inches
on the chart an island where cast
away sailors were sheltering. wanted
to know why 1t could not call and re-
lieve them The admiral explained
that the two inches on the chart meant
a distance at sea of 1000 miles.-Lon.

Artificial Limbs.

manufacturer or dealer in arti-
.hal limbs who wears a cork arm or
neg himself is much better equipped for
business than his competitors who are
sound" said a man who uses a cork
leg. In fact, it has become sort Of
unwritten law among us to patronize
such men when possible. Sentimental
reasons may have something to do with
the case, but / guess the chief reason
Is that we consider that If man can
make a limb for himself that fits like
the paper on the wall he can make
1t for others. Manufacturers of arti-
fetal limbs know this. and frequently
you will find an advertisement like
this: The So-and-so artificial leg Is
built by man who is wearing one
and who knows from experience what
you want for comfort This is strong
argument, for it's no easy thing to get
an artificial limb that just fits. Per-
sons who have trouble getting shoes
that are just right are in great luck
compared to us.'-New York Sun.

There is good thought in the fol-
lowing paragraph from the Cleburne
Enterprise; Human interest is
what the human heart yearns for 1t
does not want to be pointed to angels
playing on golden harp on the far
away bank Of a shimmering river:
when the head is hot and the pulse
runs high and the blood shot eye be-
tokens the sleepless night and the
cankering sorrow The arm of a bro
ther is what is wanted then. Some
one TO battle the hot temples in cool
water, extend warm hand clasp,
and soothe the swollen eyelids to
sleep. Then, after belief in your
sincerity comes, you may be able to
talk conyincingly of the beauties of
the life in store for him who does as
did the Lowly Nazarene."

B. w. Foster, writing to the Dali
las News from Sulphur Springs,
! makes good point as follows:
Platform of Cumby smithy We no
tice an article headed as above in a
newspaper which aspires to be lead
er of the p eople and democratic ex-
ponent. One while new in the cause
proceeded to read out of the party
men who had grown gray in defense
of it's principles. Why should an hon
orable gentleman who aspires to an
honorable position be subjected to
such ridicule? The paper referred to
need not have published Mr. Will
liams' platform, and if it chose to
do so, any decent journal would
have treated an honorable aspirant
with ordinary courtesy such as Is due
any gentleman. But still must a
blacksmith, carpenter, brick mason
or any honest laboring man, because
he aspires to serve his people in
other than his regular calling, be
thus held up to ridicule? And will
such laboring people support such
a paper? Must one who aspires to
political perferment in the democra-
tic party come before the people
with diplomas from great colleges,
to be decked in dress suits, studded
with costly diamonds? If SO, it is
sad day for our country and the
party. I'VE believe the honest labor

The chief occupation of too many
people is the digging up of life's
tragedies in the graveyard of the
past. What is dead should be buried
and that which is buried should be
forever dead. Parading the past mis-
fortunes of your fellow man does
not increase your popularity nor pro-
mote the gospel of Waxaha-
chic Light. Some people are bilious
and see everything through jaundic-
ed eyes. They can't help it, and men
with healthy livers ought to excuse
them for digging up" unpleasant
things to talk about. Yes, bury the
dead past, and those who dig up
life's tragedies" and dish them out
to their fellows as sweet morsels
should not be allowed to disturb the
great majority of people who are do
ing what they can for the better
