Aqave Tree of Mexico.

Chinese history records that one Hui
Shen, a Buddhist priest, a native Of
Cabul, in the year 400 returned to
king-Chow, capital of the dynasty oil
Isl, bringing with him from the coun'
try of Fusang, where he had been
acting as n missionary, a number Of
curious articles as gifts for the EN-
peror. Among these We're a material
resembling silk, with very strong
threads, and n mirror. From the de-
scriptions the former is believed TO
have been tibrous material from the
agave tree of Mexico, called by the
missionary, ~.fusang," the nam also
applied to the country. and the lat
ter Is believed to have been not IN
like mirrors used in Mexico and other
parts of the American continent.

Home Obedience,

In discussing criminals a thinker
said: Il firmly believe that the re-
sponsibility for the majority of crimes
rests not upon the criminals themselves,
but upon the shoulders of their pa.
rents" AT first that may sound like
a very extreme statement, but upon
second thought is it after all an exag.
g%eration? The speaker followed up
his first statement with a second: "A
child who Is not taught the value Of
obedience in the home will be less like.
ly to respect the laws enacted by COM
munities for the good of that larger
family-humanity."
From this point of view the obedl-
ence of little folks assumes mammoth
proportions, for they are not only chill
dren, but citizens in the making.

Straight and Curly Hair,

The question of the manner of the
production of the straight and curly
varieties of the hair has long been a
matter of conjecture, and hitherto no
satisfactory explanation has been
forthcoming. 1t is only known that
straight hair is always circular in
section and is usually thicker than
curly hair, which is ribbonlike and
fine. Each hair is provided with Il Sc
baceous gland opening into it, togeth-
er with n muscle connected with 1t.
The size of the gland varies consid-
erably in different individuals and ap-
pears larger and better developed in
the negro races. The muscle connect
ed with each gland has long been rec
Ognized as having an influence on the
position of the hair, causing its cree
ton by pulling forward the roo of the
hair. Such action of these little mus
Giles Is displayed when a cat in rage
erects the hair of its tail or a straight
haired dog causes the hair of its back
to rise in a median crest. Their in
fluence in man is commonly observed
in the condition known as ''goose
skim"

He passed through the kitchen of
his own home at the same gait, disre-
garding a request by Katie, the house
maid, for a hearing.
Mister PenrOd," she began, "Pd like
to know what fer you want"
'Cat fdr1'- facetiously shouted Pen
rod, already ascending the back stairs.
Cat fur, to make kitten britches
with !"
Next moment, a fearful howl is
sued from Margaret's room. Mrs. Scho-
field, hurrying thither from her own
apartment, encountered her son In the
passageway.

Mrs. Schofeld began to be alarmed
in earnest, her sons manner and look
were frantic, and his words, to her, in
comprehensive.
"PenrOd," she said n~ervously, "you
must take some castor oil. There
wasn't any snake in Margaret's room.
! heard her come upstairs for some
thing n minute ago, and go in there.
If there'd been a snake there she'd

So did Penrod go downstairs again.

"What time is it getting to BET"
Penrose suddenly Inquired aloud.
There was a little clock on Mar
garet's dressing table, but 1t had
stopped. Upon an impulse, he jump
ed up and ran downstairs to the kitch-
en-. There, the noisy old wall-clOck
treasured him soothingly. 1t marked
fifteen minutes after ten.
"Yay, Penrod!"
This was a shout from the yard, and
going to the door, Penrod beheld Sam
Williams, radiant with excitement.
"Come on over to our stable" shout
ed Sam. Come on Come on and look
at him !"
Penrod did not stop for his hat; a
jealous fear, suddenly reused, added
fear to his feet. And when they
reached Sans stable he was profound

the opinion, indeed, that this was much

"Why, how could 1t be?" demanded
Sam resentfully. "Tve been sittin' here

any connection between a hair from
the tail of Jacob r. Kirsh's elderly
horse and the fact that Ethelbert Mays

Speeding from the table at the first
possible moment, he returned to his
own room. and, in the doorway, was
struck with an unnamed fear. Katie,
the housemaid was putting the room
in order; but she had not touched the
bed. Once more able to breathe, he Sc
cured the bottle and departed, carry
ing 1t under his jacket, in front, with
out Katie's noticing anything unusual
in his manner or bosom.
He started down the back stairs,
but retreated, hearing his mother be-
low. in conversation with the cook.

Proceeding to the top of the front
stairs, he heard the voice of Margaret
and Mr.. Robert Williams, Sans
brother, a senior on vacation. A
glance over the railing revealed the
collegian, beautifully attired, confront
ing Margaret, who leaned against the
newell post in Il way very irritating
to a brother who wished to get out
to the stable without being stopped or
questioned. When Margaret got her
back to the newell post like that, Pen
rod knew she might stay there "hours
and hoursl"
Margaret" said Mr.. Williams, in a
voice wholly inexplicable to Penrod, II
believe you care more for the bowl of
gold fish, in yonder, thar you do for
me-"
Penrod retired from the hallway into
Margaret's room, and feeling satisfied
that she would not come there for q
long time, withdrew the treasure from
beneath his coat, set it upon her dress
ing table, and seated himself beside 1t.
Gold fish!
With the prospect before him of
what was going to happen at, or be-
fore, 16 minutes OF II, the lives of 9TH
err people-who had no hope of own
ing pet snakes, Matched in the bot
tle-seemed pitifully vacant He felt
sorry for Robert Williams. He pit
led the young man for having nothing
better to do than to talk to an unin-
terestlng girl about whether she liked
him as well as she did some gold
fish in a glass bowl!
A motor whizzed in the street, and,
glancing out of the window at his ell
bow, Penrod found occasion to be
sorry for another young man, evi-
IDENTIFY coming to interview the uninter-
estlng girl; and from various over
hearings of late, Penrod had little
doubt hat this one, too, would be dis
cussing at the first opportunity, what
Margaret liked.
He was u dainty, and exquisite
young man, more than well-to-do, much
encouraged by Mrs. Schofield; and 1t
was he who had given Margaret the
bowl of gold tish-which lends some
flavor to Robert Williams dismal COM
parison. Mr.. Ethelbert Magsworth
Bits was generally believed to be a
very happy and fortunate youth; he
had u yacht somewhere he had u mo-
tor car, then at the curb; he had
money enough to buy all the candy in

the war department Action was taken
on representations by Representative
Hensley of Missouri
Anger aroused by the knowledge
that the presence of a vast number of
alien enemies had caused an increased
draft quota in the district is said to
have caused the deportations. They
took place quietly, the foreigners be-
ing rounded up and sent to St. Louis
but a company of soldiers was sent in
to prevent further similar action.
Resentment over the coming of the
troops, alleged disorderly action on
the part of soldiers including firing
without cause on a civilian and a clash
between officers and a newspaper man
who published uncomplimentary stor-
les about the troops, led to the inquiry.
