SMOKING BY THE SMALL BOY
How the Question Was Smoothly and
a% Easily Settled by Ono Wise
, ~ E Father.

2 1.-THE question OF smoking came up
early in our family. Lawrence has al
ways been greatly attracted by what
he considers. manly accomplishments.
If he had been brought up In Puri-
tan atmosphere, he would have sown
an abundant crop Of wild oats-so
great to him is the glamour OF the
forbidden thing. II it savors OF fash
: ion or luxury, it becomes almost ir-
resistible.
"He was only fourteen when we mo-
ticed suggestion OF cigarette smoke
about him. 5,}.
"'Have you been smoking, my
boy? his father asked In. tone un-
suggestive of rebuke. Lawrence adj
mitted that he had. I should be sorry

OLD PuFFs AND SWITCHES
Ladies' Of Twenty-Five Centuries Ago
D, Made Liberal Use Of Bor-
rowed Hair.

Caesars wife may have been above
suspicion, SO far as her morals were
concerned, but the same could not
have been said about her hair, any
more than It could about the hair OF
the fashionable matron of today.
The Greek, Egyptian, Carthaginian
and Roman ladies' of twenty-five CEN
turtles ago made use Of the most as
tontshing quantities of borrowed hair,
and the Roman women Of the time of
Augustus were especially pleased
when they could Guido their social
rivals by ldling upon their heads a
greater tower Of additional tresses.
They also arranged curls formally
around the head
An extensive commerce in human
hair was carried on, and after the con-
quest Of Gaul, blond hair, such as
grew originally on the heads. OF Ger
man girls along the Rhine. became
very fashionable In Rome. Caesar did
not disdain to mix little commercial
ism with his military enterprises and
collected a vast amount Of hair from
the yanquished Gauls, which he sent
to market at Rome, and insthe Roman
provinces a cropped head was regard
ed as a badge OF slavery or at least

HOW HISTORY is DISTORTED
Russian Textbook Shows Curious In
stance Of Tamperino With
French History.

Reasons of church, state or other
policy have frequently caused the
scholars of one country to tamper with
the history OF another with which 1t
has been intimately connected. A
curious instance of such distortion
of French history was that found In a
Russian textbook, used in all Russian
public schools, and edited by great
Russian scholar, Ilovaiski. The fol-
lowing may be cited as an illustra-
ton: h. -
Louis XVI. was good and peace
full king. After a long and famous
reign, in which he was most happy in
his choice of minister Of finance, he
died quietly in Paris, beloved by all
his people. His death was caused by
a hemorrhage.
"The successor Of Louis XVI. was
,his son, Louis XVII. During his reign
the brave royal army, commanded by
General Napoleon Bonaparte, captured
the larger part OF the European con-
tingent. for the French crown. But
the. faithless Napoleon showed ten
denotes toward misusing his power.
and was suspected OF harboring, dis
honest schemes against the legitimate
ruler. With the help OF his majesty
the emperor and autocrat OF all the
Russias, his plans were frustrated, and
he, was deprived Of all his posses
slons, honors, and rights to q pension.
He was then exiled to the island OF
st. Helena. where he died.".:--The Sun,
