CHARACTER IN WoMEN'S HAIR
Golden and Red-Headed Ones Can
Both Love and Hate Ardently,
Says Writer.

Have you a head of midbrown
fresses?
The majority of British girls are
brown haired-the coloring is typical
of our temperament, and shows a
happy blending Of our traits. a writer
In London Answers observes.
The head generally rules the heart
among women of this coloring, who
are blessed with a good supply of "el-
bow grease" and common sense.
For vim and vivacity look to the
curly-headed girl; her ripping locks
are eloquent of vitality and energy
more than any other kind of hair. This
girl belongs to the push and go" vari-
ETY., and is not easily baked in her
determination, and would never lose
an opportunity of promotion through
shyness or fear.
Next to her in energy comes the
straight-haired, dark woman. She has
not the vivacity of the woman with
curls, but she has intensity, passion,
and determination beyond other wom-
en-. and is able to influence others.
Impulsive, warm-hearted, yet trifie
capricious is the woman possessing
golden or red hair She can both love
and hate very ardently, but is not al
ways sincere in either.
Very fair-haired damsels are apt to
be rather colorless by nature as well
as by coloring, but they make excel
lent business women, and are usually
cool and collected in an emergency.
Refinement and gentleness Is always
indicated by ine hair; coarse, heavy
hair generally denotes a strong con
stitution and an obstinate disposition

by the same process as ready-made

became thoroughly commercialized in
our own proud twentieth century did
It attain to the lofty rank of an exact
science. In the old days when crude
methods prevailed, the poor short
story was the victim of certain we'll
meaning blunderers, such as Maupas-
SAINT and Poe and Hawthorne, who de-
MED any knowledge of the formulas
which the magazines now print broad

such petty details as truth, originality,

The largest load Of logs ever drawn
by q team OF horses hitched to a sleigh
was recently hauled fifteen miles from
o lumber camp in Beltrami county,
Minnesota, to the town Of Pine Island.
where 1t was shipped on nine freight
cars to the nearest saw mill. Six
horses were required to haul the mon
ster load. which consisted of 200
twelve-foot logs, weighing approx
mately $50 tons. When sawed up
these logs produced over $4,000 feet
Of lumber. The fifteen-mile trip was
made In little more than eight hours,
with occasional breathing spells for
the horses. In winter logs are always
hauled on sleighs. which is q much
easier method Of transportation than
by wagon, inasmuch as the runners of
the sleighs do not sink into the
ground.

country people. From the skins, how
ever, of toads, Quaoks In the middle

The remarkable discovery has been

were not 30 far wrong as many people
thought. He made q study Of giant
tropical toad found In the river Anna

veteran of 1870; knight of the Legion
Of Honor; volunteered for the dura-

physical weakness all the work carried
on by his company, both by day and

the light railways in his district A
twenty-mile walk is mere child's play

war he was the mayor of his native

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Field diseases of sweet potatoes are
usually controlled by seed selection
and disinfection, the proper prepara-
tion of the hotbed and crop rotation.
Root rot, which attacks other crops
besides sweet potatoes, is best con-
trolled by deep, clean cultivation, aer-
alton of the soil and crop rotation.
:, Farmers bulletin TIA, a new publ
cation of the department of agricul-
ture, describes five of the principal
field diseases of sweet potatoes. These
are all caused by some fungi In the
seed or in the ground. For stem rot,
black root, and foot rot, the essential
point Is to plant clean seed in a clean
hotbed. If the field itself becomes in
tested, use 1t for other crops for 9
period of three or four years. Healthy
seed can be secured by selecting it
in the fall at digging time, while the
potatoes are still attached to the
vines. Each hill should be tested by
splitting the stem and potatoes should
be taken only from plants the insides
of which are not streaked with black.
It should be remembered, however,
that heavy frost will blacken the
bundles In the same way as stem rot.
In the spring, or during the winter, 1t
Is frequently impossible to tell wheth-
or the potatoes are diseased or not,
since they become dsrkened after .
period of storage. For this reason
fall selection is essential.
Just before they are bedded, the
seed potatoes should be disinfected
by submerging them from five to ten
minutes in a solution of one ounce
of corrosive sublimate to eight gal
Ions Of water. Only wooden vessels
should be used for disinfection. Cor
rosive sublimate, it must be remem-
bered, is a strong poison. and should
be kept out of the way of animals or
human beings. After disinfection the
potatoes should be rinsed in pure wa
ter and laid in the sun to dry. This
treatment will not destroy any fun
gus within the potato, but 1t will kill
spores that may be on the surface.
That a hotbed should be free from
germs of the disease is almost as Inn
portant as that the seed potatoes
themselves should be. The common
practice of using the same soil in the
hotbed year after year is probably one
of the chief sources of distributing
sweet potato disease. Even If the soil
is thrown out after the hotbed season
is over, it frequently is left by the
side of the hotbed and is used the
following year.
Soil that has been used in the hot
bed should be hauled away, together

NITRATE OF SODA FOR FARM
Most Excellent Source Of Nitrogen for
Stimulating Plant Growth-Prod-
uct OF Chile.

Nitrate Of soda is q most excellent
source of commercial nitrogen. 1t is
readily available and hence soon stim,
ulates plant growth when applied. It
may be used in the water to water
pot plants or may be applied to beds
or between rows Of growing plants.
Sodium nitrate is a product taken
from the Chile nitrate beds of South
America. The commercial form that
is used as fertilizer Is in crystals and
looks like epson salts or coarse table
salt. It is quickly soluble in water
and its effect upon plants can be
seek three or four days after 1t is ap.
piled. Plants that need nitrogen when
nitrate of soda Is epplied soon turn
from pale yellow to a dark rich
green.
Two or three applications may be
made to such plants as tomatoes, peas,
cabbage, etc. II used this way the ap-
plications should be made a week or
ten days apart, beginning after the
plants are up.

TUTOR HAD HER Suspicious
Gin OF Roses From Tony Called for
Searching Inquiry, and Truth
Came Out.

Public school teachers in the Italian
quarter are constant recipients of gifts
from admiring scholars. When the in
trinsic value Of an offering is beyond a
certain limit. and they vary all the
way from ripe tomatoes to bits of
1ewelry, the teacher usually institutes
an inquiry as to its original source.
One boy made frequent gifts of fow-
ers. AS long as they were somewhat
faded the teacher accepted them un-
Questionably, but when Tony turned
up one morning with large bunch of
expensive white roses she felt con-
strained to ask the. boy where he got
them. Heaven and earth were called
upon to witness that the flowers had
been purchased, later that they had
been gift, and finally Tony's mother
had sent them as a token Of her re-
gard. The teacher grew more stern
in her demand for particulars in re-
gard to Tony's fiowers-there was a
flower stand near by.

Where did you get those fiowers?"

A crow helps to straighten work. q
Jack to lift it; a mule pulley helps to
drive machinery which q donkey en-

a worm does quiet but powerful work.
