LITTLE JOKE OF WEBSTER'S
How He Refused to Appoint Washing
ton Irving Dispatch Bearer
to Himself.

When, in 1926, Washington Irvink
was preparing his Life of Columbus"
he took up his abode at the home Of
the American consul in Madrid, and
some time later, while collecting ma.
terials for his Conquest of Granada"
and "The Alhambra," he lived for
quite a long time in southern Spain.
Then. after serving as secretary OF
the American legation at London, he
returned from his long s%ojourn abroad
to his own country to enjoy the fruits
of his fame.
But. as time went On, the memories
of those days in Spain grew sweeter,
and there sprang up in his breast a
longing to visit again the land where
life had been so pleasant. So, in
1912, says the Youths Companion, he
resolved to call upon Mr.. Webster,
then secretary of state, and ask Of
him the humble post of bearer of dis
patches to the minister of Spain, who
was about to be appointed. in order to
diminish the expenses of the trip to
that country.

his private residence, however. and
preferred his modest request, he was
q little embarrassed by the hesitation
of Mr.. Webster, who told him that
he could not grant the request until
he had consulted the president. Ac.
cordingly, Irving took his leave, his
gentle nature somewhat hurt by such
cold treatment. p
When he returned a few days later
to learn what success his petition had
met, his embarrassment was further
increased when, in the course of a
long conversation, Mr.. Webster made
no allusion whatever to the subject
Of the much-desired position. At
length, convinced that that was the
secretary's method of conveying his
refusal, Irving rose to take his de.
parture.
Then Mr.. Webster, rising with him,
said;
II regret to say hat | have found it
impossible to give you the position for
which you asked the other day, be-
cause'-and here he smiled quizzical-
ly and placed his hand on Irving's
shoulder-"because this morning the
president appointed you envoy ex.
traordinary and minister plenipoten'
tiary to the court OF Spain! And
neither nor the president" continued
Mr.. Webster, as Irving stood speech
less with establishment and delight
consider it in keeping with the hon
or and dignity of that high position
to yourself"

Uses for PAPER Yarn.

Paper yarn is new, yet is begin
ming to be heard from in many textile
lines. Some kinds are almost al stout
as ordinary textiles and are made to
Withstand laundering. For paper UNI
derclothing. however, a cheap grade
of paper yarn would be satisfactory.
yarn having only a small proportion OF
the tensile strength Of cotton or linen.
AS each garment would be burned aft
err it had become soiled, there would
be nc occasion to use yarn adapted for
hard wear. At the same time it would
easily be possible to make up paper
yarns that would be as smooth and
absorbent as cotton or linen.
Underclothes woven from such yarn
would be as comfortable as could be
desired, The h%ygienist estimated that
the low cost Of such a paper garment,
with the complete saving of laundering
costs, ought to make the use of paper
clothes for one wearing not an ex
travagance.

Sheep Breeding In japan.

Imports OF wool into Japan nov
amount to about seven million dollars
a year, with a tendency to increase
along with the increased demand for
wooden textiles. 1t is therefore con-
sidered important to breed sheep in
Japan. A Tokyo commercial agency
bulletin says that experiments are be-
ing made at the farm of Marquis
Matsukata and in Chiba prefecture,
while the department of agriculture
and commerce is encouraging some
villages in the island of Hokkaido to
breed sheep. The department has de-
cided to appropriate about fifteen
thousand dollars for sheep breeding
in 1915. It may be impossible to
make sheep breeding as prosperous
in Japan as in foreign countries, ON
account of geographical and other con-
ditions. but il encouraged and carried
on as a subsidiary business of farm
ers, some of the domestic demand
may be met. In view OF this fact the
department seems very eager to en-
courage stock farming.-Consul Gen
George II. Scidmore, Yokohama.

SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
DARKENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Younserl Try orandma's
Recipe Of Sage and Sulphur and
Nobody Will Know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruf, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was Is make 1t at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui.

large bottle for about so cents. Every
body uses this old, famous recipe, be-
cause no one can POSSIBLY tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does it
SO naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark. thick
and glossy and you look years younger.

The tea companies were fighting

give premiums.
So, after careful consideration, they
decided to give a quart Of milk with

A "FIyipu" Malady

The doctors are puzzled concerning
a strange malady that has broken out
at more than one aeroplane works and
has in one case resulted fatally. The
malady In some respects resembles
yellow jaundice, and it is, rightly or
wrongly, attributed to contact with an
aeroplane dope" or to inhaling its
odor.
Further particulars need not at the
moment be indicated. but it has been
suggested that the source Of the
trouble may be amyl acetate, which is
used as a dope" solvent. Some mys.
terry attaches to the affair. the precise
nature of the malady not having yet
been determined. in spite Of close ex-
animation and analysis; and, of course,
until success is attained in this direc-
