NEW IDEAS ABOUT PARENTS
Becoming One Brings Increased Es-
teem and Regard for Them az
Pillars of Life.

My new responsibility has brought
me a variety Of new appropriations. AS
a parent | find | have new sentiments
about parents, and increased esteem
and regard for them as pillars that
uphold life and direct it. Beyond
doubt, they are fine for upholding
grandchildren. No doubt there would
be considerably more grandchildren in
our world If there were more grand
parents who recognized their RESPONSE
biities and made provision, as mat
ter of course, to meet them But that
does not accord with the lively indi-
vidualism of our generation. Not only
are we all DESTROYS of independent
life, but our parents prefer 1t for us.
Accordingly when we get above the
social plane in which Independent life
for man and wife can be maintained
for $40 week, marriage is apt to
come late. There are immense advan-
tages about that social plane In which
$40 week Is a complete living, and
the wife is cook and housemaid, wife,
mother and nurse all in one, and the
state provides education, and the doc
tor adjusts his charges to your IN
come, and all the man has to look
after is food, clothes, shelter and
pocket money! l hope the people who
are born with a call on that phase
of existence appreciate their luck To
rise to a $20-a-week phase must be
full Of satisfaction, but to drop to 1t
is quite another matter, Whatever
starting point is dealt out to us, it is
from that point that we have got to
go on, and, whether we like 1t or not,
the point at which it behooves us to
arrive is measured from the point at
which we start.-E. S. Martin in Har-
pers Magazine.

PUT AN END TO COLD FEET
Scheme to Make the Carpet or Rug
Warm by Means Of
Electricity.

BY means OF electricity It Is now
proposed to make the carpet. the
Persian rug, or the tigers pelt as
warm In winter as the latter was
while worn by the tiger In Germany
the experiment is now being tried OF
wiring the fioor-covering SO as 10 heat
the carpet or rug and do away with
sold floors A patent has been taken
out for running wires through the car
pet In parallel lines in such a way
that an ordinary lighting current can
be run through the wires. The con-
ductor becomes warm and heats the
carpet. The heat In large carpets can
be controlled as desired and the car
pet will remain warm for two or
three hours after the current Is turn
ed off A small foot,rug can be heat
ed aud taken for comfort during a
carriage ride.
The wiring OF carpets for this pur-.
pose is new. but patents have been
issued before for passing wires or
wire gau2e through compartments In
tablecovers, carpets and other Gov
erings for lighting purposes.

LEGENDS ABOUT THE CROW
According TO Roman Mythology the
Bird Was White Until Apollo
Made Il Black.

It Is diificult to state the average
lie Of crow, but II Is certain that
IT'S tale Of years Is much In excess OF
us merits, Tor II can scarcely be said
TO attain to good old age. and even
In Its senility 1t is still ripe for mis-
chief. For the crow In all ages has
reached bad eminence II Is ire
quently mentioned in legendary lore.
According to Roman mythology IT'S
color was originally white. and II
owes its black plumage to Aescula-
Plus, for his mother the nymph Co
ronis, had quarrel with his father.
Apollo, who SO far lost temper prob
ably he had the worst OF the argu-
ment as to kill the unfortunate
nymph upon the spot. Apollo had the
grace to mourn his rash act, and he
determined that the crow should
mourn, too. and 80 he changed Its
white feathers into black. and the
crow was made to put on sulien
black incontinent.'
The crow has always been tabled
to have the gift of fpeeeh. and II was
consecrated to Apollo on account OF
its gift of prophecy The Augurs
watched its flight as means OF d.
vlnation II 1t flew to the right II was
most favorable omen, whilc II 1t
turned to the left 1t was plain indi-
cation that disaster awaited the enter
prise Pllny also comments upon the
long life Of the crow. and states that
II It made its appearance upon the
left side It was happy augnry. He
Gays that It's cries were an indication
of coming rain. and that It's eyes were
valuable as charms. The Latin crow
seems to have been more worthy
and better behaved bird than his In
dian brother. who is an incorrigible
thief and mischief-maker,, and an un-
mitigated nuisance According to DR..
auckland, funeral honors were read
to the crow and the raven by the Ro-
mans and the Egyptians. and he gives
the following translation In proof OF
this statement: "And the Romans per,
formed funeral rites TO the raven, q
flute player leading the procession,
borne aloft on the shoulders OF TWO
Ethiopians. Around the Marsh OF
Myris sepuchres of the crow and IBIS.

DOH | PULL OUT
THE CRAY HAIRS
A Few Applications Of a Simple
Remedy VIII Bring Back
the Natural Color.

"Pull out one gray hair and a dozen
will take its place" is an old saying.
which is, to a great extent, true if no
steps are taken. to stop the cause. When
gray hairs appear it is a sign that Ma
ture needs assistance. 1t is Natures
call for help. Gray hair, dull, lifeless
hair or hair that is falling out. is not
necessarily sign of advancing age, for
there are thousands of elderly people
with perfect heads of hair without a
single streak of gray.
When gray hairs come or when the
hair seems to be lifeless or dead, some
good, reliable hair-restorng treatment
should be resortcd to at once. Special
lists say that one of the best prepare
tions to use is the old-fashcned sage
tea which our grandparents used. The
best preparation Of this kind is Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, a prep
aration of domestic sage and sulphur,
scientifically compounded with later dis
covered hair tonics and stiInulants. the
whole mixture being carefully balanced
and tested by experts.
Wyeth's Sage and sulphur IL clean and
wholesome and perfectly harmless 1t
refreshes dry, parched hair, removes
dandrutf and gradually restores faded
or gray hair to its natural color.
Don't delay another minute. Start
using Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur at
once and see what difference a few
, days treatment will make in your hair.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all druggists.

JOKE was ON THE MOTHER
Guys Straw Hats for Her Tribe Of
HopefuIs at the Harness
Shop.

Edmund Roberts OF the salvation
Nell" company, tells a good story and
tells it well. He has the faculty OF
seeing the funny things in the little
happenings Of every day life.
Last season, in one night stand
In Pennsylvania, met an old school
chum, and not having seen him for
years, l was more than pleased to
spend as much of my one day with
him as | could" says Mr.. Roberts.
He was in the harness business and
| spent the best part of the day in
the back part of the shop keeping him
company, while he worked.
During the afternoon he had occa-
zion to go to the bank and left me in
charge OF the place until his return,
with a joking rejoinder to sell all l
could during his absence.
HE had scarcely gene when in
came lady with four small boys in
quarter sizes, she took four straw
hats out of a basket and placed one on
each small head and handed me
dollar, as there was sign in the
basket stating that they were rs cents
each. She tied the strings under each
small chin and left the store.
II was naturally somewhat elated
at my ability as a salesman and when
my friend returned, told him OF my
sale and gave him the dollar. Then
he informed me that those hats were
for horses during hot weather and he
had good laugh on me. Well sold
a dollars worth OF hats ana If the
lady ever discovered that the hats
were for horses and not for small
boys l was not there to hear the FIN

Her Cradle a Pumpkin.

A giant pumpkin which four-year-
old Miss Rolls Of Santa Paula uses
as a cradle was raised by &. G..
league, manager of the Blanchard
ranch, and is particularly wonderful
from the fact that on the same vine
were twelve others weighing an aver
age of 1870 pounds each.
As this weighs 230 pounds little
figuring shows that there was over a
ton of pumpkins on one vine-2.3 $50
pounds, to be exact. 1t received no
fertilizer or special cultivation. This
pumpkin measures seven feet eight
inches around the waist" stands six
feet nine inches high and measures
In circumference lengthwise ten sset

The Doc In Warfare.

Vegetius, the Roman writer on
things military. tells us that dogs were
used in the fortified towers OF his time.
to make known by their barking the
approach OF the enemy During the
middle ages dogs We're employed to
guard camps and bulwarks. The
bloodhounds OF Scotland bore repu-
tation for wonderful skill In tracking
escaped prisoners; and they were
used, too, for attacking the enemy's
cavalry, being provided with coats Of
mail having hooks and prongs where
with to mutllate horses. There are
records Of dogs having been used In
warfare as far back as 1867, and Plu-
tarch and pliny both refer TO them In
their books.
