THE TYRANNOsAURUs.

THE TYRANNOsAURUs.
Three million years ago the Tyran-
nosaurus cavorted around in Mon
tana. He was forty seven feet long
and eighteen and half feet high. He
could, and did, lick all corners. Sim
liar horrific monsters, each as big
as barn and as savage as a wildcat,
roamed the earth. They rent and ate
the gentle lambs, OF whatever cor
responded to lambs in those days.
They have disappeared. Only
their skeletons remain, exhibited in
museums. Yet sheep, COWS, pigs and
other non-combatants are still with
US. The saw-tooth tiger is no more;
the fawns gambol in the parks. The
pterodactyl has vanished; the doves
COO in the cote.
Why did not the ferocious fellows
gobble up the gentle ones?
All that is history, before man can
be brought in to explain things.
Enter man. Some men were saw
age and given to violence; others
were peaceably inclined. In every con-
flict the bullfes went to the wall
and the meek prospered, not at once,
but eventually. There never was
strong regime of violence that did
not kill itself.
Alexander's hosts conquered the
world, so did TanIerlane's, so did
the Romans and the Spaniards. But
they all petered out.
America used to be full of big
braves. They scalped and toma-
hawked their enemies. They believed
in frightfulness. Aney despised the
meek. Where are they? They are
hanging around government posts
begging for blankets and stealing
liquor.
The American Indian was a con-
sistant militarist. He has given away
to race of farmers, storekeepers and
school teachers.
If evolution means the survival of
the fiercest, why don't they survive?
The cannibals have gone from the
Hawaiian Islands. rne traders and
housekeepers have their place.
Wasps rattlesnakes, and pumas only
get themselves exterminated at last.
All through Utah, Montana, and
California are villages full of chick
en-livered mollycoddles, who go to
church and mind their own business;
they have suppIanted the bad man Of
the forties that toted guns, gulped
Ired-eye, and terrorized everybody.
Two hundred years ago every gem
tleman carried sword, and a lady
couldn't go out in London or Rome
without pack of DULLES to guard
her. Now man is safer without a
gun than with one, and If you have
dirk knife on yGur person, some
dude policeman with white gloves
will run you in.
What are we coming to? The Sun

SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't stay Gray! Here's an
0Id.time Recipe that Any,
body Can Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded. gray hair to Its natural
color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used 1t to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
Whenever her hair took on that dull.
faded or streaked appearance. this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-ofdate. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for q 80 cent bottle OF
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addition
of other ingredients. which can be de-
pended upon to restore natural color
and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says 1t darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell 1t has
been applied. You simply dampen q
sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap
plication or two. 1t becomes beautifully
dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound Is q delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire q mor youthful
appearance. 1t is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention Of dis
ease.--Adv.

COLOR SCHEMES IN GARDENS
Matter In Which America Might Prohs
by the Example Set by English
Landscape Artists.

Little attention is paid to garden
color schemes, less in California n
elsewhere, for the reason that every
thing blooms SO riotously here that
we deem attempts at control quite un-
necessary, says the Los Angeles
Times. The English are the great
color artists of the garden and they
have garden books upon this subject
alone. Sometimes colors are used for
effects not necessarily allied to har'
mony, as when yellow Is used on
points thrust forward to shorten the
apparent distance and blue is used to
deepen the recesses and make them
appear farther in the distance.
Many Of the good-sized local gardens
have long borders where color schemes
could be wrought with ANNALS or
perennials, or with both. Remember
two points which may be called funda'
mentals: White is the one great neu-
trailer or harmonizer In flowers and
gray performs a similar office in foli'
age. Borders in which white flowers
and gray foliage heavily predominant
may have any and all colors in har
mony so long as they do not mix, but
have between them q mere touch OF
white. Such a peace-maker Is Otter
more necessary between shades closet,
allied than in marked contrasts. Thus
with two shades of pink the lighter ap
pears washed and faded in close com
parison with a deeper and therefore
stronger hue. Even great masses o
white relieved by an occasional touch
Of any color never appear monotonous

Arrangement Of Street Lamps

A recent investigation Of the rela-
tive merits Of parallel and staggered
arrangement Of street lamps is most
interesting, since 1t discloses that from
an ornamental viewpoint the former Is
preferable. while, from a unitarian
viewpoint, the latter Is preferable un-
der certain conditions. BY parallel ar
rangement is meant the placing OF
lamps so that they come opposite each
other, while staggered arrangement
means that the lamps on one side Of
a street are placed SO as to come half
way between those on the opposite
side. In general, the staggered ar
rangement furnishes more uniform H.
Elimination. However, where the
street width is not much greater than
the distance between lamp standards,
the parallel arrangement is preferable.
In instances where the street width is
considerably greater than the spacing
Of the lamps. the staggered arrange
ment will give the best results.-Sci'
