The kangaroo's Defense.

In the kangaroo hunts of Australia
capture is sufficiently easy. but some
times the kangaroo makes an original
defense.
IL possible the kangaroo directs his
fight toward river. If he reaches
II he enters, and. thanks to his great
height. he is able TO go on foot to a
depth where the dogs are obliged to
swim. There he plants himself on his
two hind legs and his tail and, up to
his shoulders in the water, awaits the
arrival Of the pack. With his fore
paws he seizes by the head the first
dog that approaches. and as he is more
solidly balanced than his assailant he
holds the dogs nose beneath the wa.
ter as long as he can. Unless n second
dog speedily comes to the rescue the
first one is inevitably drowned II a
companion arrives and sets him free
he is glad to regain the bank as quick
ly as possible. A strong and cour
ngeous old Kangaroo will hold his own
against twenty or thirty dogs, drown
ing some and frightening others. and
the hunter is obliged to intervene with
bullet.--New York Press.

Psychology or Store Planning.

The basement of Il store was former.
ly regarded merely as cellar, fit for
storage, packing boxes. etc. Then
came a merchant of the present day,
gifted with an Imagination to an I'M.
usual degree, who recognized-thou gh.
perhaps, not in these terms-that the
customer was guided by subconscious
control and argued that the lack of
effort in going downstairs would ap-
peal to the subconsciousness and that
the glimpse of displays seen at the
foot Of the stairs would lead customers
to the basement. Notwithstanding the
low ceiling the imperfect ventilation
and the absence of daylight. This
merchant has lived to see not only a
daily attendance on a basement floor
ten or a dozen times greater than that
on the average floor above the first.
but also to see his discovery copied by
practically every store in the land.
The real gist of his discovery was
that subconscious control leads us to
do the easy thing first-namely. go
ownstalrs-without reckoning with
the next problem. which was. OF
course. getting out of the basement

A Little Sage And Sulphur Makes
Gray Hair Vanish-A Remedy
For All Hair Troubles.

Who does not know the value of
sage and sulphur for keeping the hair
dark, soft, glossy and in good condi-
ton? As a matter of fact, sulphur is
a natural element Of hair, and a de
ticiency of it in the hair is held by
many scalp specialists TO be connect
ed with loss of color and vitality of
the hair Unquestionally there is no
better remedy for hair and scalp trou-
bles, especially premature grayness,
than sage and sulphur if properly
prepared. The Wyeth Chemical Com
pany Of New York put up an ideal
remedy of this kind called Wyeths
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, and
authorize druggists to sell it under
guarantee that the money will be re-
funded if it fails to do exactly as rep
resented.
If you have dandruff, or if your hair
is thin, or turning gray, get a bottle
OF this remedy from your druggist to-
day, and see what it will do for you.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle, and is
recommended and sold by-THE OWL

The Samurai's Servant.

Here is an interesting legend about
an ofuda which appears as the badge
of family at Matsue. The story as
Hearn tells it, is that: "Once a serv-
ant Of the family went to Ise, in de-
spite of his masters orders to remain
in the house. When he came back
the samurai flew into rage and kill
ed him. Then the murderer felt sorry
and buried the body in the garden or
bamboo patch. The day after the
servant came back again and apollo
gized for his absence at Ise. You
can guess the rest of the legend.
When the grave was opened there
was no dead body there-only an ofu-
da cut in two, as if by sword slash"

DECORATED HIS SHIP.
Sir John Had Little Paint and a Fine
Sense of Humor

1t is not often the administration of
England's naval affairs is attended
with any humorous features, but on
one occasion at least an officer Of the
royal navy contributed quantity to the
archives of the admiralty.
Once, before the days Of steel ships,
the allowance of paint in the royal
navy was very small, and sometimes
the officers had to pay large sums in
order that their ships might maintain
Hecent appearance. Sir John Philli-
NC. resorted to Il funny CXpedient
either TO soften the heart of the navy
board or. if that proved impossible.
to express his opinion. He painted one
side Of his yellow frgate black and
white and used the rest of the black
paint in printing on the other side in
large letters, mo more paint!'
The navy board wrote to call his
attention to the improperly of his
conduct and signed themselves, as
they did officially. Your affectionate
friends" Sir John made reply that
he could not obliterate the objection
able letters unless he were given more
paint and signed himself, In turn,
"Your affectionate friend. John Philli-
more"
The naval authorities then called his
attention to the improperly Of the
signature, to which Sir John respond
ed, acknowledging the letter, stating
he regretted that the paint had not
been sent and ending, Il am no longer

His frigate was permitted to retain
her original yellow, and thus the
navy board punished Sir Johns int
