Abnormal TwiIiohts.

Twilight, which is normally due to
the refraction of the suns light by the
atmosphere. is occasionally modified
by other natural causes. Rosy glows
In the west after sunset are reported
to be particularly common In the vi
cinity of Bordeaux, France. These
are not the usual sunset glows, but
appear in the sky As degrees above
the sun and are supposed to be due
to reflection from high clouds too thin
TO be seen in ordinary light The
same invisible clouds may also cause
abnormal prolongation of twilight, as
on the first day of last July in this
sine region, where a watch could be
easily read UP to four minutes OF 10
p. m. whereas on the following night
1t could be read only a quarter past
nine, difference OF IL minutes. Ow-
ing to the presence Of the thin clouds
above described, these long twilights
are OF use to astronomers as an indi-
cation that the night will not be favor.

Wigs and Hair Powder,

The pure white powder used on the
hair in Washington time was made
from pulverized starch. scented with
violet or other perfume. The fashion
began in the French court (Charles
TX. end of sixteenth century,. Those
having dark hair used violet and
blondes used iris. Even wigs were
filed with it. The hair was creased
with pomade to make thes powder
hold. At one time the hair powder
tax in England yielded nearly $100. 900
year. The French revolution
fastened the return to natural hair
The powder added to the weight and
the expense of wigs, large quantities
being used, sometimes TWO pounds at
a time. In 1870 Gov. Barefoot of New
Hampshire wore a powdered periwig.
Cotton Mather denounced wigs as IA
luxurious feminine protexity,' and
thought an Indian war was a direct
punishment from God for wearing
wigs. They caused much badness

Chicken Language.

A chicken fancier tells Of how his
fowls talk to him in chicken language.
One day a Cochin hen futtered down
in front of him and cackled and cac-
killed.. looking up into his face. The
chicken fancier went to the coop. for
he supposed that she was trying to tell
him that something was wrong. Sure
enough, one end Of her perch had slip
ped loose and fallen down. and she
couldn't roost upon 1t without sliding
off. The fancier fixed the perch, and
the hen few upon it and remained
quiet
The same man tells Of how chick
en- met him at the door Of the hen
house in great futter Of excitement.
She sputtered about cackling, and
seemed to be telling him very long
tale. He investigated the interior Of
the coop and found that mother cat
and her family Of newly born kittens
were occupying the hens nest.

Sheep as Beasts of Burden.

In the northern part Of India sheep
are put to use unthought Of in Euro
pean or American countries. They are
made to serve as beasts of burden, be-
cause they are more surefooted than
larger beasts and the mountain paths
along the foothills Of the Himalayas
are steep and difficult. The load for
each sheep is from sixteen to twenty
pounds. The sheep are driven from
village to village. with the wool still
growing and in each town the farmer
shears as much wool as he can sell
there and loads the sheep with the
grain which he receives in exchange.
After his flock has been sheared he
turns 1t homeward, each sheep having
on its back small bag containing the
purchased grain.

The Mosquitoes Hum.

It has always been supposed that
the humming sound made by the pes
tiferous mosquito is caused by the
rapid action of its wings, but Scotch
scientist who has been investigating
the subject says he has discovered at
the base of the insects wings an ap-
paratus that probably produces the
sound. 1t consists Of a movable bar
provided with tiny teeth, and as the
wings are moved up and down the
teeth rasp over series Of ridges. The
discoverer is not sure that the sound Is
produced by this apparatus, but he
says that it might we'll be. and fur
ther investigation may show conclu-
sively that 1t is.

Humor ana Philosophy
BY DUNCAN N. SMITH
THE CONTENTED.

When crops are good and prices high
The man with wheat to sell
Cannot believe that times are hard
And all things are not well.
For him the outlook Is SO fair.
So rosy Is the hue.
He cannot see why all the world
Can't take his point Of view.
The man who has a pleasant job
That pays him ready cash
Cannot believe the world Is just
About to go to smash
Or that the times are out Of joint
Since he Is In the swim.
There may be rumblings underground
But things look good to him.
The chap with money in the bank
And rents that come to hand
An cutlery Of calamity
Can hardly understand.
Since he can meet the grocer man
With an unflinching eye.
He cannot see how any one
On dollars can be shy. --.-'~-
And so It is. II fortune has
Been OF a friendly turn.
He cannot see why every ono
Has not some change to burn.
The world looks good to him indeed.
As melons ripe ON ice.
And everything is quite o. X.
II he has got tho price.
