GENIUS DIVIDED.

'The author of genius, said Will
liam Dean Howells at a dinner in
New York, Expresses the thoughts
of his time. He speaks out those
things that his generation has all
along been thinking-but thinking
silently, and, perhaps, a little mis-
tily. An author of transcendental
genius speaks the thought of all
time. For example-one summer at
Sunapee l loaned volume of Plato
to lean, shrewd farmer. When the
volume was returned I said: "Well,
how did you like Plato? 'Fust rate

HUMAN RACE OF THE FUTURE
Man VIII Have Larger Head and
Fewer Teeth and Fingers,
Says Scientist.

Signor Enrico Morseli, the Geno-
ese anthropologist, considers that the
human race will undergo a process
of physical change Man in the flu
ture, he says, will have bigger head
than he has today. This will be ac-
companied by a modification of
form, inasmuch as the head will be
rounded in days to come. The short
headed man will dominate, at least
as far as white races are concerned,
while, on the other hand, among the
yellow peoples the long head will be
the mark.
! Signor Enrico Morselli considers
that as the human head develops the
other organs will undergo process
of atrophy. Man in the future will
have only % teeth. Possibly he will
have fewer fingers and the little toe
lis certainly condemned to disappear.
The arms will be shorter and inter-
nally there will be changes; the
coecum, the seat of the appendix,
will cease to exist.-London Globe.

ANCIENT SCOTTISH Kinks.

In the age of witchcraft and SUI

The accommodations afforded the
practitioners were very different
from the present luxurious age.
There were no new pews in Scottish
kinks before the reign Of Charles l..
The people had to bring their stools

this simply sat down on the floor

HOW TO CARE FOR ONION BEDS,

In his advice to backyard garden
ers regarding onion cultivation,
James B. Shel wood writes in the
Louisville Courier-J Journal as fol-
lows:
"Be sure that your onion beds re-
ceive plenty Of water and with regu-
larity. After the ground has been
irrigated till it will not absorb any
more wait until the surface soil has
dried out somewhat and then give
the plants a little surface cultiva-
ton, just enough to keep the soil
sifted and to prevent any possible
caking around the roots,
eff you are trying to raise onions
on semi-muek soil watch to see
that your surface soil does not bake
following a heavy rainstorm. Keep
it well stirred and free of weeds and
you should have hourishing bed Of
onions"

CHINESE LOVERS OF RACING
Betting Is open and Unrestricted and
Dono on tho Parl-Mutuel
System.

"The Chinese are great lovers Of
horse racing, and in Manchuria are
bred some of the feetest ponies in
the world" said Mr.. III. R. Wiley Of
San Francisco, who spent years in
the Orient.
"Twice year there are grand rae
ing meets in Shanghai and the elite
of these game little steeds from the
north come down to compete for SUI
premacy of the track. The handi-
Gaping is based on height; pony
of IL hands is given less weight to
carry than one that is taller Enor-
nous crowds 60 out to see them run
and the Europeans are just as eager
patrons of the sport as the Celestials.
Betting is open and unrestricted
and is done something after the
fashion Of the pari-mutuel system.
The climax Of the meeting is when
the grand prize of several thousand
taels is awarded. In this contest no
horse is eligible unless he has previ-
ously won a race All the racing is
on the turf, there being no made
tracks as in this country, and the
course is perfectly straight"

HOW TO BUY FURNISHINGS.

If you had to furnish home, but
had very little means, what would
you buy first? This is a problem
that many young women have had

solved in the future by many more.

necessary articles at first and to buy
furnishings Of good quality. It is
