HERTIINC KNOWN
As An "0LD FOX
BY HOME FOLKS
New Chancellor of Germany,
However, Lives in Past,

AMSTERDAM. Nov 1.-The "old
fox" Is the sobri1uet by which Count
Won Hertling is known in Bavaria, ac-
eordins to the Berlin Tsgeblatt The
descriptive name, the newspaper says
was given to the count because OF the
"backstairs" methods that have charac-
terired his five and a half years Ba-
varan premiership.
Little Is expected from Won Hertling
in the direction of Internal reforms. the
Tageblatt declares. He always opposed
parliamentarism although he acted like
a parliamentary minister.
Won Hcrtling has not felt the spirit OF
the new era, the newspaper says in CON
clusion, but his philosophical spirit
long recognized that this war must end
otherwise than by annexations and the
war ndemntieS that characterized small
wars in the past He is permeated by
the spirit that is to bring about a new
order of things in regard to the mutual
relations between the nations OF the
world"

Some say it has the fragrancy Of new
mown hay. 1t reminds others OF fresh
strawberries There are also those
who detect it in the perfume OF the
wild rose. Opinions differ as to what
the fragrance resembles, but all opin-
ions are unanimous in praising 1t. SO
they call it the fragrant fern.
1t grows in small, round clumps in
clefts on the face of a precipice, out OF
reach of collectors, who haven't the
patience to hunt for it. For this rea-
son it is not we'll known. Its out OF
the way haunts provide an effectual
hiding place.
The hardness Of the fragrant fern
surprises the amateur collector. 1t
grows in full glare Of the sun, In
places where more common ferns
would be scorched and withered. Yet
the fronds remain green throughout
the year, and even the year-old fronds,
which turn brown at the end of the
season, curl up around the roots OF
the plant and cling to the rocks.-Phil-
adelphia North American.

Bee. and FruIt

An agricultural society OF Florence
italy, has recently carried out thor
ough investigation Of the alleged In
jury Of fruit by bees and has COM
pletely exonerated the latter. Bees are
unable to perforate the skin OF the
fruit, and it is only incidentally that
they suck the juices Of fruits injured
by other natural causes. The damage
sometimes attributed to these insects
is due to poultry, wild birds, wind and
hail, and even more frequently to hor-
nets, wasps, vine moths and other in
sects. Instead Of being harmful to
orchards and vineyards, bees perform
the useful service Of efecting the
cross pollination Of flowers, and hence
the setting Of fruit as well as the de-
structlon Of damaged fruits especially
grapes) by sucking the Juice and pulp
and thus preventing fermentation and
rot extending to sound individuals.
The orchards and vineyards frequented
by bees give the most constant crops

The Arabic lanuuaqe,

Though the Arabs number less than
the population of London, their Ian
guage is one of the most widely spoken
and influential in the world, for it is
the language of the Koran. Seventy
millions of people In Asia and north
Africa speak some form of Arabic as
their vernacular, and quite as many
more know something Of the language
from the Koran. which in the original
is a text book in the day schools OF the
Moha mmedans from Turkey to Afgha-
nistan and New Guinea. Nor Is Arabic
unworthy Of this extensive use. Re-
nan, after expressing his surprise that
such a language should spring from
the desert regions Of Arabia and reach
perfection in nomadic camps, declares
that it surpasses all its sister Semitic
languages in richness Of vocabulary,
delicacy Of expression and the logic Of
it's grammatical construction.-Lond

IdoIatry as Il Is.

After months spent in idolatrous lands
I have been unable to see much real
worship In heather shrines. The edu-
Gated worship with their tongues In
their cheeks and the ignorant with
their hearts in their mouths. But the
amount Of real worship that exists in
heather temples is very small.
Sometimes a bereaved mother will
enter the temple and draw from her
kimono the tiny bib Of departed little
one and tie it TO the statue of Jizo, the
god Of motherhood. Sometimes an old
man Or woman almost blind will enter
the temple and rub the eyes Of wood
en- god and then rub his own in the
hope that eternal darkness may not
close In on his affrighted soul. In some
places Buddhist services are as digni-
fed, as well attended and as helpful as
our own. In Hakodate l attended a
Buddhist preaching service that smack
ed less Of idolatry and more of mor;ss
than some ceremonials in our cruel
form chapels.-Christian Herald.

FEW FOLKS HAVE
CRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies
are Using Recipe of
Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when 1t fades. turns gray, dull and
lifeless. is caused by a lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up mixture Of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful,
and thousands Of women and men who
value that even color. that beautiful
dark shade Of hair which is so attrac-
tive. use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of other
ingredients by asking a. any drug
store for 50-cent bottle Of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" which
darkens the hair so naturally, so even
~ that nobody can possibly tell it
has been applied. You just dampen
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; but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound, is that, besides
beautifully darkening the hair after a
few applications, it also brings back
the gloss and lustre and gives it an
appearance of abundance
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is delightful toilet requisite
to impart color and a youthful appear
ance to the hair. 1t is not intended
for the cure. mitigation or prevention
of disease.-Adv.

Full Speed In Japan

Ten years ago Japan possessed 1000
factories using power machinery, with
an aggregate of 10000 horsepower. In
July, 1907, the total net tonnage of Jap
ans commercial fleet was $4,000. A re-
cent investigation shows Japan to have
now 5000 factories, employing 100000
hands, and with total horsepower Of
1,125,o0O; the tonnage of her commercial
fleet being 1,1691o5. The Japanese fac
tory hands receive about one-tenth the
wage paid to American factory hands;
the overhead factory charges Of Japan
are nothing like what they are in the
United States; the cost of operating
Japanese ship nowhere approaches
the cost Of operating an American
ship, and yet the japanese vessels OPP
crate under government subsidy. When
the war is over in Europe. how long
before japanese prows will be signal
ing full speed ahead for the American
market, where the only bar to foreign
goods is the badly sprung hyphen in
the Wilson Underwood tariff law?

Little Things Count.

The more complex life grows the
more these little things count. One OR
two men at the pumping station could
produce a water famine for 100000
people.
Cut very thin wire, and city is in
total darkness.
Five cents worth Of calico is enough
to eclipse Eaphael's finest Madonna.
When everybody walked to his ap-
pointed place.of work nothing short of
a universal calamity would keep ev-
erybody away from work. Now a de-
fective feed wire will halt hundred
thousand in trolley cars.
And because these little things do
foot up to such big totals the human
element remains important despite all
our inventions.
Most failures are men and women
failures, net machine failures.-Phila-

Lettres de Cachet,

Lettres de cachet was the name given
in France to warrants sealed with the
kings seal ordering persons to be
thrown into prison or exiled The first
came into use about 1910 and shortly
became one Of the popular terrors of
France. 1t is said that no less than 5000
lettres de cachet were issued during
the reign of Louis XIV. and $4,000 dur
ing the reign Of Louis XIV In many
cases these terrible documents were
secretly sold and used as source of
illicit revenue. They were frequently
signed in blank, and the holder of one
OF these royal terrors' could write in
the name of any person against whom
he happened to have a grudge. The ma
tional assembly abolished this iniqui-
tous privilege Of issuing lettres de
cachet on Nov. /, 1880.

Something like half century ago a
man named Dan Bradley started the
custom In little cigar store in Brook
Ign Of keeping a box Of smoking to-
bacco on the counter with a sign
above it saying, Fiji your pipe" Part
ly on the strength of his popularity,
due in no small degree to the free fill
ings for a pipe, Bradley ran independ-
emily for the state senate and was elect
ed as against the regular candidate.
Five thousand clay pipes did the
trick for Dan" was a saying at the time.

A Frank Confession

Upon taking possession Of the post
mastership in the city Of New York,
ex-Congressman Patten announced that
he was greatly impressed with the
idea that the postal service might be
conducted more freely and In a more
liberal fashion. but added: Il don't
know just how it will work out"
In those few words Mr.. Patten has
sufheiently condemned his own ap-
pointment. He was without any ex-
perience whatever in postal matters.

had been so years in the postal ser
vice and whose work had been entire.

offensive, but is balm allaying sus-

when others must wait in the recep-
