SAGE FOR DARKENING THE
HAIR,

There Is nothing new about the idea OF
using sage for restoring the color Of the
hair. Our great-grandmothers kept their
locks soft, dark and glossy by using a
sage tea" Whenever their hair fell out
or took on a dull, faded or streaked APP
pearance, they made brew of sage
leaves and applied it to their hair with
wonderfully beneficial effect. Nowadays
we don't have to resort to the old-tlme,
tiresome method Of gathering the herbs
and making the brew. This is done by
Skillful chemists better than W. could do
It ourselves, and all we have to do is to
call for the ready made product. Wyeths
Sage and Sulphur, containing sage In the
proper strength, with the addition OF
Sulphur, another old-tme scalp remedy.
This preparation is sold by all first-class
druggists for SOC. and $l.00 bottle, or
is sent direct by the Wyeth Chemical
Company, "a Cortlandt St., New MYork
City, upon receipt Of price.

Mixed on His MELODY,

A vell-knOwn newspaper that boasts
the authority and the excellence OF it's
dramatic and musical criticism pub
lished recently a criticism of certain
charming light opera. The dramatic
editor was lavish in his praise Of songs
and singers, remarking. with a dlgnt-
fed reminder to his readers that 1t
was his business to pass judgment, not
unmixed with censure. that the plot
was slightly unconvincing.
OF the music. however. he wrote in
terms OF highest commentator. And
he closed his article with praise for
the charming entr'actes.
The typesetter got free with the
copy, however, or Vere was mistake
made by the printers devil" At any
rate, this is what appeared as the
closing sentence OF really mastery
piece of criticism
Last nights music between the acts
was unusually melodious."

First Owners Of Fure.

Women who expect to buy furs this
winter show a lively interest in the
Zoo animals" said Philadelphia ami
NAL keeper. They want to find out
what the animal looked like that were
their fur coats and muffs before the
furs were made over for them.
The recent warnings against irnita-
ton furs have made them particular
ly curious Somehow they imagine
that by comparing the fur Of live
lynx with a cat or a rabbit they will
be able to detect the difference In dyed
furs. OF course they won't. but any
how this little excursion into natural
history will do them no harm.
Women with caracul coats are the
most persistent investigators. Very
few people except furriers know what
kind Of an animal caracul grows on,
and the specimens of the Russian
sheep that produce real caracul and
the Chinese sheep that cheap wool
that Is sold for caracul grows on have
been trotted out for inspection SO often
that they have become as blase as a
New York show girl

A Shame to Spend tho Money.


"Pianissimo, pianissimo," said the
vocal teacher to the student, your
voice is too loud. Learn to shade your
tones"
And the student worked hard to
carry out instructions.
When she went to her next lesson
the teacher said: "Better-but still
too loud Try again-you will get 1t
after a while
Again the student returned to her
room and tried for softer tone. Again
the teacher told her 1t was still too
loud.
Now William, the colored butler
without whom TIE house would never
have gone on properly, had heard and
wondered at this gradual diminishing
Of tone. It did seem shame to spend
the money. He would interview the
lady who occupied the room below
that of the vocal pupil

A Mennonite Custom.

When young man reaches the
manageable age and shows those
well-known symptoms the elders Of
the church hold a meeting. They
decide II he Is honest and reliable
to buy him a farm, usually an eighty.
Into the farm he puts his savings, and
then members or the congregation
raise the rest of the funds to pay for
the land.
This amount the young man must
pay back with a small rate Of inter
est. Thus by example and material
assistance they bind him by the
strongest bonds, that Of debtor to the
church. They know full well that
nothing can be lost. for the land is
always worth what 1t will cost. After
the young people are located on their
farm the elders assist with advice
and help. Do you wonder that this
