BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN

changes have never become national
The whole world knows that the metre
system is the ideal system or weights
and measures. and yet English SPEAK
ing people continue to use the old sys-
TEN. The only successful reform IN Ine
matter Of units of measurements Inas
has ever taken place in the OnlIeu
States, with the single exception OF our
monetary system, has been the stand
ard time change, which came ABOUT
nearly a quarter Of a century ago
This was made because Of the move
ment of railroad trains Furthermore
1t involved nothing in the way or ad-
masses. The railroads simply began TO
set their time according TO this syS-
tenn, and the watch makers and pubic
clock keepers followed suit. and all the
masses had to do was to set their
watches according to the town clock
and not according to the sun
Those who would revise the calendar
believe that its advantages would be
so obvious that mankind at large
would be quick to accept the change
They point out that, while their might
be some little difficulty during a sin
gle generation following the change,
there would be little thereafter 1t is

Once, long ago, a little one OF mine
Would take my hand and look into
my face,
AS II she magicaIly might divine
Ny tempted heart my imminent dis
And BY that hand-elasp and that visit
ful look
Would lead me safe into the better
way,
Her faith 50 perfect that could not
brook
The thought Of aught to waksn her
dismay.
That little one has vanished; Ger her
head
Blow summer blooms. and on her
stone you read
The simple story OF the life she led
Joyous in semblance, innocent IN
deed,
But even yet, across the dim OF years
How many-cOmes IN the old plead
ing guise
To keep me clean from all that soils
and sears.
The Christ-Iike candor Of those early
eyes

TT AIR is a material used BY the
Great Architect to thatch the hu-
man dome Of thought. It comes
late and leaves early, like a fashionable
guest, and does no work while it re-
mains. Nevertheless, it is greatly be-
loved, and there Is no sadder sight than
that Of man of 90 bidding good bye to
his hair
Women wear their hair as long as
possible, and do it up in a great variety
Of rolls, coils, loops, braids, puffs. waves.
waterfalls, explosions, cascades, turrets.
colonnades, wings. apses, and flying
buttresses. Men also wear their hair "a
long as possible, which accounts for the
great prosperity Of hair tonic manufac-
turers.
Hair comes in a great many colors.
including black, brown, yellow. grew.
auburn, Titan. blonde and bronze. Some
very frank people also have red hair.
Red hair Is noted because Of the promi-
nence with which it stands out on the
landscape, and the infammability which
it Is supposed TO impart to the disposi
ton Red-haired men are usually GOOD
fighters, but this is because they had
plenty of practice in their youth.
Hair is affixed 10 the SCALP in a cara
less and Intellectual manner, particu-
larry IN the case Of man, and after ad-
herring to its owner for a few decades
it usually begins to lose its grip. This
causes badness, which is sadly alluded
to as sign of wisdom by a great many
men, whose foreheads sweep majesticaIlv
back to their collars. AS a rule. the
hair retreats in an orderly and dirni-
fed manner, but occasionally II PLAYS
dastardly trick BY retiring from the
sides, leaving a small and lonesome oasis
Of hair IN the middle of vast and shin
ing. desert.
