WeII-Authenticated Cases of Remark.
able DisIikes Among Men and
Women Otherwise Normal.

A case is related of a monk who
would faint on seeing rose and who
never quilted his cell at the monas-
terry while that flower was blooming.
Another authority tells US of how da
Vinci, tho great painter, would swoon
upon going suddenly into a room
where roses were blooming, even
though he did not see them. Valtaid
tells us of an army officer who was
frequently thrown into violent convul-
sions by coming in contact with the
little flower known as the pink. The
same authority also tells of the case of
a lady, forty-six years of age, hale and
hearty, who, if present when linseed
was being boiled for. any purpose,
coughing, swelling of the face, and
partial loss of reason for the ensuing
"a hours.
Writing of these peculiar antipathies
and diversions, Montague remarks that
he has known men of undoubted cour-
age who would much rather face a
shower OF cannon balls than look at an
apple! In Zimmerman's writings there
is an account of a lady who could not
bear to touch either silk or satin, and
would almost faint if by accident she
should happen to touch the velvety
skin of peach. Boyle records the
case of a. man who would faint upon
hearing the swish Of a broom across
the floor, and of another with natural
adherence Of honey. Hippocrates Of
old tells of one Nicanor who would
always swoon at hearing the sound Of
a flute.

SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
DARKENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Younger! Try Grandma'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 dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" You will get a
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 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.

Fish Admired by Anglers.

Members of the salmon family are
universally famous for their high
jumps. The sea trout, which gladden.
Devon rivers under the seasonable
name of harvest peal" are untiring
acrobats, and fish Of a pound weight
will more than once jump several
times it's own length out of the water
when hooked before coming to the net.
Unless the fisherman responds by
promptly lowering the top Of his rod
the fragile gut is likely to break, and
as it is part of every sportsman's
creed to appreciate his pastime in pro-
portion to the difficulties it presents,
the sea trout stands high in the
anglers estimation

LIGHT More Beneficial Than Heat

When rays of light fall upon the
skin of our bodies, which is translu-
cent, the greater part of them are ar
rested some by one layer of the skin,
some by another and still others are
not stopped until they have penetrated
the simultaneous tissues. This arrest
OF the light rays produces radiant
heat, which has a higher penetrating
power than convection heat as gene
rated by a hot water bag or pOultice,
for instance.
E. c. Titus in an address before the
Illuminating Engineering society, said
that such heat penetrated two inches
or more, while convection heat was eX-
cited principally on the surface.
This is why electric light baths and
sun baths are so stimulating to the Or
gans of elimination, especially the skin
and kidneys, and so beneficial in so
many diseases.
