A Human Hair

A human hair of average thickness can support load of 614 ounces, and the average number of hairs on the head is about 30,000. A woman's long hair has total tensile strength of more than five tons, and this strength can be in creased one-third by twisting the hair. The ancients made practical use of the strength of human hair. The cords of the Roman catapults were made of the hair of slaves, and it is recorded that the free women of Carthage offered their luxuriant tresses for the same use when their city was besieged by the Romans.

School Days. School Days

School Days, School Days
 Tuesday morning the schoolhouse on Granit avenue was the scene of much buStle and activity. To the most casual observer who happened to pass by, it was obvious that the village school had re-opened, after long summer vacation Scores of boys and girls, ranging in age from five to sixteen, with slates, books and other school supplies, could be seen skipping merrily to and fro in the front yard or chatting on the steps and in the open windows of the building. All of the children and young people were in an excited state, fer to them. aE to all young people, the first day of school, (whether it be the very inception, or q subsequent beginning of a term), was an epoch making event. At the big main door one of the teachers and mother of Canaan, were observed in earnest conversation. Beside the mother, his eyes bulged big in wonder, stood (oI rather, clung, for his hands clutohed his mothers arm), little boy of five or six It was evidently the boys first day al school and the strange sights and faces had a tendency to awe the youngster But the fair teacher took the little fel lows hand in her own and soon put him at his ease. There was large atten. dance on the opening day, and the school is now in full swing. with a highly efficient corps of instructors, the names of whom were announced in last week NEWS.

arations, for thus unusual, shift of po-

great structure which New York has
spent many years and much money to
erect for the proper housing of its
bluecoats. Caravans of trucks bearing
the belongings of the bureaus of head

ate arrangements for re-centering the

RUNS AWAY WITH HUNTERS TAG
This Deer Is Wandering Through the
North Wisconsin Woods.

Eau Claire, WIS.,, Nov. 23.-Stan
Glomski, of this city, is spending con-
siderable time wondering whether there
is any connection between the deer
family and the cat family, insofar as
the cat is supposed to have nine lives.
STAINS wonderment in that regard is
caused by strange experience he had
while hunting deer with two other Eau
Claire men near Radisson last Thurs
day.
The party of three had separated in
Il heavy pine forest near Radisson, and
Glomski was the first to sight a deer.
He had moved along quietly and sud
denly he spied big buck standing a
short distance in front of him and
browsing on the protruding tufts of
grass, oblivious of impending danger
Glomski at once planted two bullets in
the animals body, and it fell in its
tracks without struggle. AS is re-
quired by law, Mr.. Glomski immed-
lately tied his license tag to the ami
mails hind leg and started off through
to help him to bring the deer to camp.
A sudden commotion behind him caused
him to turn around before he had gone
a rod, and what met his gaze caused
him to stop and cape in blank aston
ishment. The deer, which he had just
shot and tagged had arised to its feet
and was flying through the woods at
merry clip. Glomski stood and star
ed, but did not recover from his sur
prise in time to shoot at the fleeing
animal until it was out of sight, the
last thing he saw being the tag flutter-
ing from the deer's hind leg. Glomski
found his companions a short time af-
forwards and they corroborate his story
as they saw the spot where the sup
posed Ito be-dead buck lay, and Glomski
did not have his tag
