 Even when the art of dyeng with the purple fish had been mastered at many plac'-s in the Mediterranean besides the locality of its invention the Tyrian pur- pie still maintained its pre-emnence and fame
 To dye 50 pounds of wool 300 pounds of the fish liquor were usually required From this 1t is evident that the quantity of fish that had to be procured was enor- nous and the reason becomes clearer for the wide range of search prosecuted by the Phoenicians. Wherever 1t might be hoped that beds of the purple mussel humble shell fish set in motion a great stream of activity which in many ways influenced the lives of the ancients.

THE PURPLE OF TYRE How Ancient Phoenicians Obtained
 Their Famous Dyes

From the London Globe.
 One of the most sought after spells Of nature in the times of the ancients was lowly mollusc containing no gem to make it eagerly desired. This was the purple mussel, or purple fish. as it is more usually called, which yielded a liquor possessed of the property of turn ing purple on exposure to the air. From 1t was derived the famous dye of the pur- pie of Tyre, the renown of which was spread over distant lands.
 No small part of the trade of the Phoe- nicians with Egypt, Babylonia, Assyria and Arabia rested on the existence of this shell fish. The matchless linens of Egypt were sent to Phoenicia and there dipped in the beautiful dye of which the Phoenicians alone then had the secret. and the purple cloth thus produced was coveted by the kings and princes of the east
 Many details of the manner in which the dye was obtained from the fish and employed by the Phoenicians in the art of coloring the woolen and linen stuffs imported from Egypt have been brought to light. From the several kinds of fish variety of natural hues could be ob- tained. The liquor of the purple fish,

Dandruff Gone Parisian Sage Drove It All
 Away In Two Weeks

If people who have dandruff only knew that it is caused by germs and that these germs are slowly but surely sapping the hair root of it's very life they would hasten to destroy the germs and remove every trace of dandruff as soon as possi- ble.
 Par1sian Sage (now sold all over Amer ica) Is rigidly guaranteed to bansh dan druff stop falling hair and itching scalp in two weeks, or money back.
 It is delightful hair dressing that pre- vents badness; puts life and luster into any persons hair.
 Large bottle 50 cents at Nortons Drug Store and druggists everywhere.
 My hair was falling out badly, until 1t became quite thin on the top of my head. After using Parlsian Sage a short tune 1t stopped the hair from falling and also removed the dandruff, and stopped the itching, and now there is new hair growing which is about one inch long, I am S5 years old.

designs of stained glass attest the skill of artists of the long ago.
 What visions of the distant past the church and It's surroundings bring to mind. At it's communion rail armour clod knight and gaily belecked cavalier, win some maids and stately matrons have knelt in their devotions, while the full story of love, marriage and death Of those long since passed away are re- vealed in it's ancient records.
 The old, old tombstones, many of whose inscriptions are almost entirely obliter- ated by centuries of storm and weather are silent and solemn tributes to it's age and grandeur.
 What hallowed spot for contempla- tion the old church affords, ahd one may well imagine just such a scene inspired the immortal elegy of the poet Gray.
 II NOON.
 Tom Naylor was one of those unique characters that are found in every vil- lage. Of no fixed occupation he mana ged to make both ends meet by various and sundry emUoyments from ringing the church bells on Sunday to poaching on the neighboring estates. Tom had also the distinction of being the best quoit player in the district and had time and O1t upneid the honor or Deane III contests with neighboring villages.
 His main source of revenue, however. was derived from sparrow catching, as he was the official catcher for the Deane Shooting club, an organization that for financial reasons was not able to indulge in pigeon shooting, so substituted spar rows therefor. And be 1t known that shooting sparrows from a trap requires q skill equal or superior to that of the larger birds.
 Deane church. with it's oaks and ivy, was one of the most fruitful fields of Toms operations in the sparrow catch ing line.
 When the shades of night had fallen and the birds were asleep in their nest was the appointed time for Tom to pur- sue his calling. His "modus operandi" was to spread a large net over the ivy and by beating the bushes with stick the birds would fly out and, of course be caught in the net.
 His yisitations were necessarily at night for another reason, for the authorities had forbidden the intrusion of the church property and he was, therefore. a tres- passer liable to the law and to the con- fiscation of his paraphernalia.
 Nevertheless, in spite of the laws dic- tum, Toms nocturnal visitation and wan derings continued and the club was al- ways well supplied with near pigeons" for shooting purposes

DR.. SMITH DEFENDS TIPPING
SYSTEM.

DR.. F. Smith Of "A Boylston St"
Boston, Mass, in a communication U
the Boston Post, comes to the de-
fence Of the poor waiter who depends
on his tips for existence. He declares
that the men higher up often re-
ceive the tip money, and urges every
one to be sure that the gratituity zee
is placed directly in the hands OF the
waiter. ......
when a waiter works IL to IA
hours waiting on table," writes DR..
Smith, "he is like blind man sitting
on the corner of the street for charity.
The average of our hotel patrons tip
the man from 81 up for getting them
a table or taking their order. Now,
leave it to anyone's Judgment how
much the poor white slave (waiter)
who serves the repast should get fo'
his services. His pay is only $40
month and he IL subject to all sort'
Of insults from the chief down to TIM
dish washer"

RUSSIA AND THE SOUTH.
(St. Paul Pioneer Press.)

(St. Paul flOneoT TEcoe.I
It is entirely proper that the Presi-
dent of the United States and the Con-
gress should make formal protest,
even to the abrogation OF a treaty,
against Russia's failure to recognize
passports granted to American citiz-
ems of Jewish birth, but there Is
little lesson at home that should be
learned by some Of the Southern
Congressmen who have been most
bitter in their denunciation OF Rus-
STA for discriminating against Amer
lean citizens on account OF their
religion or race"
Many of the states Of the South
openly discriminate against a class OF
American citizens ION account OF
their race" Most Of the Southern
States have constitutional amend
ments or election laws which dis
franchise the Negro voters for NO
other reason, whatever the various
excuses offered, than their race. II
will be at least interesting to watch
these Southern Congressman wne
have been so bitter in their denuncia
ton of Russia and see II they vii
demand that the Legislatures OF thei'
own states cease their discrimina
tons against any American citizens
on account of their race.

A REAL NEWSPAPER.

A newspaper isn't simply bare
chronlcler OF events. II is q personal
.ity. 1t comes into your house almost
as a member of your family.
What sort of a person do you like
to have visit you?
He ought to be honest, courageous,
no hypocrite, and gentleman. with
a real interest in you, ready to lend
a hand if you need help. Cheerful
ness and good humor are excellent
qualities, and wide range Of in
terests.
What do you find in The Star?
1t has opinions, of course, and 1t
speaks them out freely. They are its
own and they are not influenced by
outside interests. The square deal is
its platform.
In handling news it observes the
decencies and amenities of life. 1t
never wantonly brings shame or sor-
row to any home. Its advertisements
are clean.
If the Twin City Star does not
bring you something of interest in
any particular issue, 1t has failed by
so much that week. It takes Of its
hat and apologies for having bored
you as a visitor.
But it trusts this doesn't often hap
pen. Not often, does it?
