Roses For Restoring Hair.

Roses form the chief ingredient In
what is probably the earliest recipe FOR
n hair restorer on record. According
70 Pliny, "wild rose leaves reduced into
a liniment with bears grease make the
hair grow again in most marvellous
fashion" Pliny also recommends
"ashes Of roses as serving to trim
the hairs of the eyebrows" Roses
figured prominently in several old time
strong drinks. such as rosa soils. which
consisted of rosewater mixed with
AQUA vitae and favored with cinna-
mon. The favorite morning draft
among Elizabethan roisterers was

A SENBIBLE REMARK.

A Clergyman remarked recent
~ that he had long had Strong
desire to see the other side of
the MOON" He yet nourishes
the hope that The wish may be
granted in a future life. TO
some, the first thought might be
that this was frivolous wish.
Taking second thought, one
would see that if he limited his
aims, his desires, to the real and
practicable, to that close at hand
and easy to reach, he would he
the loser for it. When the wish
does not include that which is
beyond ones present reach, he
is not likely to attain to that
which is within reach. He is
not living up to his best.
If one has not ideals above the
practical, he loses inspiration for
doing or being that which he is
capable of doing or being. Little
progress is made if one is content
with that easy to reach, with the
common platitudes that leave the
proSaic duties that must be lived
through, without life or light
ness. Let the mind dwell in the
flaming, glowing realms of i'm
aginatior. The quality of po-
etry, of romance, is needed in
life. The more practical, or
dull, the surroundings or work
the more is it needed to tighten,
to brighten, to cheer one OH the
way. Then let thoughts dwell
on the moon. Let Your being
be influenced by moonshine. The
moon is one great source of ro-
nance in life, an inspirer OF love.
Moonlight is necessary to the
soul as it is needed in nature.
Enjoy the moonlight. Let
imagination rise high as the
noon in the heavens and it viii
miss some of the dross of life.
TO think So high, even, to the
other side of the moon, is wise.

chanulno Customs.

A writer in the Washington Post
tells of an old lady who remembered
dining at the White House with Mr..
and Mrs. John Quincy Adams. Mr..
Adams ate with his fork, and Mrs
Adams apologized for it, saying that
he had acquired the habit during his
sojourn in France Mrs Adams and
the other guests used their knives
All this is comment on changing
manner. But 1t should be noted that
Mr.. Adams ate with four-tined silver
fork. while the other guests had only
two-tined forks, which then were the
common kind. Without the develop

Public Health.

John Burns, member of parliament
In recent address asserted that i.
was to English speaking peoples the
the world is indebted for the grea
codes that have been originated fol
the care OF the public health. He said
that these peoples are the co,onizere
of the world, they are modern Romans,
whose strength lies in their limbs not
in their swords, and this is due to their
noble motherhood Healthy parents, ;"
says Mr.. Burns, happy children. For
this the parents must be clearly wed
children nobly bred, wisely fed. and
firmly led" He advocated plain liz
ing, gave statistics to show that high
wages did not lessen mortality amons
children, and that in English farm la
borers the death rate was much small
er than in other pursuits though wages
were very low.

Sentimental. FARMING.
[From the Chicago News.l

FROM the chicago News.
I'm thinking of buying a
farm" said the lawyer. My
wife is crazy on the subject-says
there's nothing like owning land
in your old age, so you are sure
you'll have plenty to eat and a
roof to cover you" -.
That's all right unless your
wife is like TheophiIus Evers'
wife, interrupted the doctor.
HE wife said the same thing,
and she bounded Theophilus un-
til he gave up his law practice
and bought farm 60 miles out
of Chicago.
He said that he had wrestled
with clients and expounded the
law for % years and he@ guessed
he had earned rest. Of course,
he always added, he had no idea
of retiring to farm and just
idling-he was going to do a
little regular work to keep in
trim.
Every day at luncheon for
month he told how fine it was
going to be to have all the butter
and cream and fresh eggs and
chickens that they wanted-not
at the within of grocer and
milk man, bu. at their own pleas
ure. All they would have to do
was to go out and pluck the din
ner off the farm and ask favorS
of nobody.
''Theophilus had the money to
stock farm with provisions like
that, and we really envied him.
He bought the greatest array
of chickens you ever saw and
calculated that he was going to
have broilers enough for the
whole county, and his cows were
blooded stock. So were the pigs
and the other animals. With
what lie intended to grow on his
land Theophilns figured that lie
would have to buy only a few
clothes and may be sugar and
tabasco sauce.
but he hadn't reckoned OH
his wife. The first time he said
he guessed the time was ripe for
a chicken dinner Mrs. Theophilus
burst into amazed tears. She said
she simply didn't have the heart
to eat chicken that she was ac-
quainted with, and she'd never
thought it of him /! So they got
their chicken dinner from a far
mer near by, whose plebeian
poultry yard was carried on for
general use instead of ornament,
Why, it wasn't a minute be-
fore Mrs. Evers had all those
chickens os theirs named and
what's more, they'd cone when
she called them. Shed go ont

Beatrice and Helen and Josephine

Evers said they always obeyed
her, but don't know-his mind
was getting befuddled by that
time. He had to give up plant
ing green peas and beans and
corn for fodder because his wife
said the land mustn't be plowed
up--Genevieve and Anna were
looking spind1ing and needed the
space for exercise and air. Gene
We've and Anna were the Guer-
nsey cows he had counted on for
cream and butter. But it was
no use, because they got so out
rageonsly lazy and aristocratic
that they wouldn't work.
"They just ate clover and
switched their tails and watched
in a bored sort of way the hired
man driving over with the milk
cans to the neighboring farm,
where some everyday, sober and
industrious cows that lived the
lives the Lord had ordered for
cows.
"Theopllilus couldn't have any
more cream on his breakfast food
than he had i'll town. He could
afford 70 buy it, of course, but
cream is one thing you never
have courage t. be extravagant
with unless you raise it yourself
ever notice?
when the first November
came around lie was going to
have a man butcher one of the
pigs. Mrs. Theophilus nearly
had Mysteries. What Kill
William or Howard? After she
had taue lit them to stand for a
bath lr,in the garden hose every
week and to await their turn
politely at the trough? If The
ophilus Evers was brute enough
to do that, she'd feel like getting
a divorce. So they bought their
bacon and ham from the butcher,
as usual, and Howard and Will
liam waxed fat in laziness and
comfort.
Mrs. Theophilus rarely al
lowed the horses to be used. She
said it was too hot or too cold
or that they looked pale or had
the hiccOughs and must wear red
flannel around their necks. When
Theophilus got an automobile to
circumvent her it was just as
bad, because she refused to have
the poor hired man overworked
it. So they paid all ex-
pressman savage prices to cart
their stuff out to them from the
village.
1T got so that Theophilus had
to come to Chicago to get a
square meal or fine cold-storagel
food-and I hear that he's OPEN
ing his Office again in Chicago.
He says he's tired of running an
eleemosynary health resort fer
beasts and fowls and being
