Out of the Past.

Not long ago. from the clay of !,

there was taken 4 little bit of vege.
table fiber-the leaf OF a gingko trel
which must have fiOurished something,
like 100000 years ago. There are
fossils of even greater age. of course
but this leaf Is still leaf, not a mere
imprint in stone; and it is undoubt
edly the oldest known bit of vegetable
matter in the world.
The particular species to which il
belonged became extinct long ago
its only surviving relative is the ging

SUCCULENT FOOD FOR STOCK
Little Added Expense in Providing An.
ImaIs With Roots or SIagc-Store
Under Feed Alley.
CBy r. G. WEATHERsTONE.0

(By h. u. WEATHERSTONE.
Just as one enjoys eating an apple
asionally-especially during the
winter, when less fruit and vegetables
are used than during the summer
Just SO the live stock in the winter,
when their rations consist largely OF
dry feed, need and appreciate some
form Of succulent food. There is very
little added expense in supplying ami
mails with a reasonable amount of
succulent food either in the form OF
roots or silage. For a herd OF II or
more cows, this succulent food is most
cheaply supplied by the use Of silage;
but for the smaller herd, or for a man
without a silo, roots afford an excel
lent substitute for silage.
By care in preparing the soil and
growing the crop, from Is to rs tons
OF roots, like mangles, rutabagas or
stock carrots, can be grown per acre.
They can be stored under the feeding
alley, or in pit outside of the barn,
at very little expense Twenty tons
Of roots will supply 10 COWS 20 pounds
per day each for 200 days, and can
be grown and harvested at cost of
less than $40. The nutrients contain
ed In 20 tons of roots are worth $50
when bran is worth $40 per ton: SO
the feeding value Of the roots Is suf.
fcient to pay for the cost of pro-
duction, besides the additional advan-
tage of their supplying the succulence
needed by the animal.

Vegetarian Tips.

The man who had forsworn meat
wound up his first vegetarian dinner
with the accustomed tip. The next
day the service was Indifferent, the
third day it was abominable
What's the matter with that fel-
low, anyhow" he growled. He used
TO be good waiter Now he simply
throws things at you"
That's because you don't tip him
enough" said the man opposite
Walters always expect a bigger tip
for serving q vegetarian meals. 1t
takes such a variety of things to
make up for meat that they have to
handle more dishes and make more
trips to the kitchen Any good waiter
would rather serve one meat dinner
than two of vegetables, and unless he
gets tipped generously he gets ugly"

NEVER WITH RED HAIR
HISTORY RECORDS NO GREAT
GENIUS THUS ADORNED. a
Men Of Eminence Have Been, but Not
Those of Genuine and DeathIess
Fame-As to Boards and
Rinalets.

History shows that no great genius
ever had red hair Alone among the
poets of the world was Swinburne,
whose hair was distinctly reddish, and
among the great reformers only John
Bunyan's hair was really red. The
simon-pure carrotty head, however, ap-
pears nowhere linked to world fame.
The fiaxen- haired blonde or the man
whose hair when an adult is true
yellow. also remains marked apart as
being unlikely to possess genius
Should one such be, his only com
panion will lie Thackeray, whose hair
is described as yellow. Mr. Charles
Kassel has reviewed the biographies
OF most Of the eminent people Of the
worlds histories and tabulated his re-
suits 50 far as the color of the hair Is
concerned.
Dark brown to black Is the prevail
ing hue Oh the heads of great men. A
list OF fifty names has been compiled
In which the color OF the hair Is given
by biographers, and 80 per cent. are
dark brown or black There is not,
strange to. say, single mention OF
premature grayness, nor single case
OF that ashen brown hair known as
"singed" or mouse color"
The structure of the hair-whether
straight or curly-is given in twenty
six OF MI kassels list OF geniuses,
and Of these all but four possessed

Napoleon and Andrew Jackson were
the two remarkable for ''wtry hair,
and that James Russell Lowell and
Greig were those having lank straight
hair. The poets "ringlets" and the
musicians shock Of hair are by this
list seen not to be mere accidents
but in some strange way are co-ordl
mated to their powers and the general
popular instinct is not at fault.
The color Of boards also arouses
many points Of interest. All the an
cient tapestries show Cain and Judas
lscafiot with yellow or red boards.
and Pontius Plate in ancient art al
ways was given beard. being Ro
man of good family, he probably had
no beard, but those details did not
trouble the old masters.) A reddish
beard, however, does not carry the sig
ni6cance that goes with red hair, for
a large number Of eminent men with
dark brown hair have had reddish
boards. Sometimes the eyelashes have
been ruddy, Savonarola, who had al
most black hair, having startlingly
red eyebrows and eyelashes But, as
a general rule here also, a silky brown
beard when accompanied by fine cur
ling dark-brown hair is the most
usual characteristic shown In the

IN NO HURRY TO WE'D
SPAIN CERTAINLY THE LAND OF
RECORD COURTSHIPS.
1t Is Nothing for a Couple In That
Country to Remain Engaged for
Ten Years Before Their
Marriage.

Spain might be termed the land of
deliberation, for nothing-especially
in the case of courtship and marriage
is done in haste. Indeed, in the
country towns of Andalusia. a sudden
marriage creates great surprise, for.
as Spanish writer says, there Is
nothing in which procrastination Is
carried 80 far in Andalusia as in the
matter Of engagements"
The Andalusian peasant considers
we'll the step he iS about to take, and
this consideration is very pleasant
way of killing time, and time Is of but
lirtle value in the south Of Spain. 1t ts
quite common thing for man to be
engaged ten years. There is also d
monetary consideration to be taken
into account, the marriage fee In
Spain being a high one, 81 or $S.
Before coming into the house of his
t1ancee, man has to ask permission
of the father to be his daughters
sweetheart. If he gives it party is
given to celebrate the engagement, at
which they drink aguardiente and eat
cakes. Girls are never allowed to
walk out with their sweethearts. No
kissing is permitted between them
When girl is asked why, she says.
we do not belong to our sweethearts:
il we Quarreled he could not say that
my lips had ever been his"
This comes partly from pride and
partly from wish not to be depreciat-
ed in the matrimonial market, as low
ers in Spain often prove tickle. A
girl | know had been engaged five
years when her lover Tilted her. Six
months later she became engaged
again. You see, she had only chatted
with her former lover, so her matri-
monial chances were quite as good az
before she was engaged at all.
Although they do not kiss each 9th
er they put ks and os In their letters,
the latter signifying embraces. When
girl addresses him as MY appreciat-
ed John" she does not think it at all
correct to put my dear John" unless
they have been engaged long time.
In these days engaged couples be-
longing to the upper classes see a
good deal of each other They meet
at mass in the morning, chat together
during the hour of siesta, see each 9th
er in the afternoon during the prone
made, go to the same party in the eve
ming, and after supper see each other
and 'chat together at the window, and
there are nights when they remain
once more chatting together, their
faces pressed to the bars, until the
rosy-fngered dawn appears in the
east"
1t is related that a lover getting
married after an engagement of eight
years soon afterward fell into low
spirits from not knowing what to do
with his time.
In olden days, however, according to
Hernando Cortez, Spanish girls were
kept almost as secluded and guarded
as carefully as the. ladies in the harem
of a Turk Therefore, when young
man fell in love, instead Of ringing the
door bell and sending in his card he
often made a rope ladder and survey
ed the residence Of the young lady
with a view to ascertaining the best
mode of getting upon her balcony or
into her window.

WOman's "CrOwning Glory"

Cleanliness the first care, thorough
brushing the second consideration, and
a discreet application of tonics the
third degree of treatment.
Healthy hair is the result of a
healthy scalp, the blood must circulate
evenly and the head must be free from
dandruff Above all things, the hair
must be frequently ventilated. The
hair should be brushed systematically
every way with hair brush that is
perfectly clean and smoothed, with
a piece of soft old silk.
This is called a modern fad, but il
makes the hair shine.
If the hair is inclined to be lifeless
and thin it should be shampooed once
a month only, and twice a month if il
is damp and oily. Pure white CASTLE
soap, shaved and melted makes the
best shampoo.
Tar soap shampoo may be used with
great success on dark hair but never
oil blond hair, as it will tend to dark
en- it.
If there is an excess of dandruff a
wash Of equal parts of tincture of
green soap and pure alcohol should
be rubbed thoroughly into the scalp
and rinsed in hot and cold water.
