RED IS MANS COLOR
HAS PLAYED IMPORTANT PART
 WITH ALL RACES.
In Italy Red Has Long Been the h. sIgnIa of the Male. and Blue of the Female Luck in
 Auburn Locks.

The paItiality for the color red may not be mere chance, for it has played an important part in the art and deco ration of all races of men, and to it are attached many old superstitions.
 In our earliest forms of art we learn that various colors had special sig nificance. generally in distinguishing the sexes. Striking examples of this custom are found in Italy, where red was the insignia of the male and blue of the female.
 This explains why in the old paint tngs we find the Madonna and other Biblical women always in the latter color, while the apostles and mascu- line saints wore red Even today in Rome and some other sections of Italy, says Harper's Weekly, the spe- cial color of it's sex is pinned to the dress of the child at the time of bap- tism.
 There still remain many curious superstitions concerning this interest ing color. For instance, a great aver sion to red hair exists among the peasants of England and Wales, and often the presence of a person with auburn" locks is considered unlucky.
 When a fisherman of northern Eng land is mending his tackle the ap- proach of red-haired individual Is solemnly believed to presage i'll for tune unless the end of the line or net is immediately passed through flame.
 In olden time the efficacy of red as 6 cure-all for disease was strictly fol- lowed, and this superstition has not entirely died out The physician to Edward II. of England. John of Cad deston, tells us that he brought about a complete cure for one of the royal princes who was suffering with small pox by surrounding the sick bed with various red hangings, wrapping the patient in red blankets, covering him with a scarlet counterpane and administering red mulberry wine.
 In the west of Scotland and in the West Indies it is customary to wrap a bit of red cloth or flannel around children's throats to ward of the whocping cough. In the early part of the last century London shop in Fleet street sold pieces of red cloth to those suffering with scarlet fever, the supposed remedy lying not in the fabric but in the color.
 In New Zealand the house in which death has occurred is painted with this color to keep out the bad spirits, and the path of the funeral procession is blazed with streaks of red to pre- vent the demons from following. Even now the Chinese plait their children's hair with red silk to ward of the in- fiuence of evil spirits.

ALL HAVE MEANING
TRACING ORIGIN OF BRIGHT AND
 APT SAYINGS.
In Common Use, Vet 1t Is Doubtful If Many Know the Circumstances Connected with Eplgrsnl
 and Slang.

We all have slowed away in the top drawer of our brains odds and ends of apt sayings, very convenient when we wish to give bright touch, chic turn. to our dull, everyday speech, yet in using them few of us have the remote idea where they came from whether the case in point be bit of old lace epigram or an up-to-date twist of slang off bargain counter.
 When we accuse the greedy member of our family of taking the lions sharep we are borrowing the naive sar- casm of Aesop's fable, where at the end of joint hunt the animals wish to divide their booty. and the lion claims one-quarter of the spells by right of prerogative, one for superior courage, one for his dame and cubs, and "as for the fourth, let who will dare dispute it with me"
 To Spain we owe that delightfully."- wicked slogan: Every one for himself, and the devil catch the hindmost!" You no doubt remember that at one time his Satanic majesty kept a school of magic at Toledo. At the end of the term the graduating class ran through long subterranean hall, the president of the school being entitled to the hindmost if he could catch him. As the one caught was forced to take a postgraduate course, 1t would have been distinct advantage, had he not been obliged to barter his soul for the privilege.
 When we plume ourselves with some pretty ostrich tip of fattery few of us know that the expression "a feather in your cap" arose from custom of woodcraft enthusiasts, and that in Scotland today the one who kills the first woodcock plucks out a feather and proudly wears it in his cap.
 However fiippantly we may faunt the phrase, Oliver Cromwell gave it dignity of thought and diction when he declined England's offered crown. Royalty is but a feather in mans cap" he said; 'let children enjoy their rattle"
 As pure-breed game cock has only red and black feathers, and cross breed is known by a white feather in his tail. Ito show the white feather" forcibly pictures cowardice, since it is averred that the least impurity of blood destroys the birds pluck.
 While in the barnyard, we must loi- ter long enough to clear up the mys- tery of being ''as poor as Jobs tur- key" for the elusiveness of this bird has no doubt tantalized many search CT of Scriptures who had not paused to consider that a turkey is as much an American institution as the eagle on our coins.
 With the unfortunate patriarchs poverty in mind. Judge Halliburton the British-American humorist, Sam Sliek--created Jobs turkey from his own vivid imagination, describing the bird with only one feather in his tail and of so weak-kneed a constitution that he was obliged to lean against the fence to gobble.
