How Russia Goes to Extremes.

In the Woman's Home Companion
Laura Spencer Portor says that YOU
find greater extremes of human ma
ture in Russia than in any other coun-
try.
I'm the national history and in the
national character you shall find
strange and striking extremes: ex-
tremes Of crudeness and gentleness, Of
cruelty and pity, Of injustice and
mercy. Here, too, you shall find a peo-
pie at nee the most superstitious and
barbaric. and the most intellectual and
enlightened; the most religious, and
the most free thinking; the most splen-
didly wealthy-taking as an example
the fabulous wealth Of the Garland
the most squalid and poor; peasants in
some parts living in tiny huts shared
with them by fowls and pigs and cat
tie. Here, too, you shall find the most
selfish and the nos unselfish; the
most tyrannical and ~autocratic, the
most democratic and self sacrificing;
here, above all, the most enslaved and
the most free.
we speak Of youth as the season Of
extremes. Then the mind goes with
|rushness and inconsistency from one
view to its extreme opposite. AS ex-
IRENE as youth we say. Remember
ing this, and studying the strange and
|pervading extremes Of Russia, Russia
seems like a very personification OF
YOUTH"

ALDEN. DRYEsT CITY
IN THE WORLD
From the Brooklyn Eagle

The wife of an army surgeon who on
United States ira sports has been three
times around the world, in showing her
very choice collection of various PRODUCTS
from faraway ports, called special atten-
ton to the baskets from Alden, a port lit
tie known outside transports and traders
occasional visits until the big war brought
it into a casual notice. Alden. at the
mouth of the Red sea, she said, is noted
chiefly for its fortress-like mountains, en-
tirely barren of any tree, shrub OF blade
of grass. and the great tanks below the
grim, stony mountains are wonders OF
engineering.
The masonry is marvellous and built
across the A-shaped bases, the need OF
these great tanks for a water supply Is
caused by the infrequent rains making
water storage an imperative necessity. In
1901 the last record of rain was In 1883, SO

devoid of natural vegetation, and its near

and rare they can be had only at Alden,
where they are of the greatest use as

| nave been made by the Romans, and the
cement lining is of a compound not known
to moderns. Besides the great tanks there
are many small cisterns owned by middle
men. who sell the storage water in large
or small quantities for daily consumption.
There are steps leading down to the bot
, tom of the tanks. so that as the water
level lowers it can be had as long as the
supply lasts, which is usually until an
other torrential flood of rain pours down
the tlint-like stone mountains into the
tanks at their base. A scant supply an
swers for the natives, to whom cleanli,
ness is neither a virtue nor a necessity.

"Frohman weighed a play by the

play. however arbitrary in story or

estimate it's novelty by the amount of

SAGE AND SULPHUR
DARkENS GRAY HAIR
Brush this through faded, lifeless
locks and they become lark,
glossy, youthful.

Hair that loses its color and lustre, or
whe1 It fades, turns gray, dull and life
less, is caused by a lack OF sulphur III the
hair. Our grandmother made up a mix
turc of Sage lea and Sulphur to keep
her locks dark and beautiful, and thou
sands of women and men who valrc that
even color, that beautiful dark SHADE of
hair which is SO attractive, Use only this
old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mixture
by asking at any drug store for a so
cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" which darkens the
hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody
can possibly tell it has been applied. Be-
sides, It takes off dandrufT, stops scalp
itching and falling hair. You just
dampen q sponge or soft brush with it
and draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at q time. By morn
ing the gray hair disappears; but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and sulphur is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after few applica.
tons. it also brings back the gloss and
lnstre and gives it an appearance of
abundance.
