Foot ball is to be abolished as an in
tercolleriate sport at the Carlisle In
dian School. No announcement has
been made concerning the status of the
game at Carlisle. but word has come
from an absolutely authentic source
that the head of the institution will
give to the public statement within
the next few days to the effect that no
more teams will represent it on the
gridiron.
The abolition of foot ball at Carlisle
comes as the result of the misunder-
standings of two years. Trouble was
encountered in 1914, and during the
season just ended there was lack of
success and sympathy in the develop
ment of the squad. Distractions be-
tween coaches and between coaches
and players also are partly responsible
for the decision to do away with the
sport.
There will be general regret over the
passing of Carlisle foot ball teams

thousands of persons each season for

ALL the big stores and, quite likely,

annual white-goods sales. Counters

Styles change in undermuslins and

signs for spring reveal narrow laces,
very sheer embroideries, much bead

in the new garments. Small, fine pat

Story of the Peasant Painter MiIiet and
THE AnseIus."

Story of the Peasant Painter Millet and
THE Anselus."
1t was only after long years of strug-
gle and dire poverty. through which
Millet was consoled and supported by
his wife. that the peasant painter was
able to take the three roomed cottage
at Barbizon and TRY to do something
really good"
1t was then that he began to paint
that most beautiful poem of poverty,
"The Angelus." which is today one of
the most valuable pictures in the world.
Again and again he threw aside the
picture in despair of ever finishing 1t
to his satisfaction, and as often his
wife replaced it on the easel and in
duced him to continue.
On one occasion he was so incensed
at not being able to produce a certain
effect that he seized a knife and would
have destroyed the canvas and ended
the matter once for all had not his wife
fortunately seized his hand and in
duced him to give the picture another
trial.
Thus it was that at last THE An
gelus" found a place on the walls of
the Louvre. The success it won en-
couraged Millet to paint many more
pictures and thus place himself among
the immortals in art.

TURNING the Tables.

Turning the tables in the sense of
bringing a countercharge against an
accuser has a classic origin. In the
days Of Augustus Imperator a regular
craze seized the men Of Rome to COM
pete with one another for the posses
sion Of the costliest specimens of a
certain description of table made for
the most part of Mauritanian wood in
laid with ivoTy-"mensarum insania, Z"
or table mania. as Pliny called 1t. They
were sold at most extravagant prices.
When the men accused the ladies Of
sumptuary extravaganza the latter nat
urally retorted by reference to the
money squandered by their lords on
these tables and so turned the tables
on them" by throwing them metaphor
ically in their teeth.

FRIGHT and White Hair.

The popular belief that the hair of
persons laboring under great mental
grief or terror changes color seems to
be unfounded. Under certain condi-
lions of bodily health the coloring mat
ter of the hair ceases to be supplied,
and the hair may consequently become
gray or white in very short time. In
these cases, however. 1t is only the grow
ing hair that has no color. the hair as
1t gradually rises from the root is gray,
while that which is outside the cuticle
remains its original color. No well au-
thenticated case of sudden change In
the color of the hair is mentioned in
the Transactions of the Royal Soci-
ety." extending over 200 years, where
as If any such circumstance had &C.
CURED it is almost certain 1t would
have been recorded. The case of Marie
Antoinette. which is most frequently
cited, does not rest upon evidence suf-
hciently strong to warrant belief
