Red HEADS STRANGE PEOPLE
Last of the BaaI Worshipers Engage in
TWO Occupations, Agriculture
and Theft.

The other day there was the report
that some Of our soldiers on the TigIls
had come across a village of Red
Heads, writes J. G. Brstow Noble in
the London Globe. Strange people are
these Baal worshippers. The men
wear red caps, hence their name Red
Heads. They also wear red kn0tted
cords around their necks. The cord
is put on during babyhood and is never
removed. 1t is Inferred with the body
after death. They shave their heads
except for a patch on the top, and
here they allow the hair to grow long
and plait it into plgtails, which hang
about their ears. They are tall, wiry
fellows, with enormous appetites for
both food and drink.
The women, who do not veil them
selves, and who dress simply in loose
fitting garments, are thin and spare,
but wonderfully strong In their homes
they wear breechos as well as skirts.
There is no wife beating among the
Red Heads, but plenty Of husband
beating. The husbands take their fire.
quent chastsements meekly and pa
tiently. They employ themselves, both
the women and the men, in agriculture
and theft. They produce couple Of
crops-tobacco ana duTa; the rest of
their time is given up to looting the
Turks crops and cattle. Their little
WbitpWaShp1 lONv-rOofpd dwellings
with small unglazed, but shattered,
windows are divided into three apart
ments; a kitchen, a guest room,
sleeping room. A few earthenware
jars, about five feet IN height ana filed
with grain and dried fruits, are kept
in the guest room, and the guests help
themselves.

The food production act, by making
available additional funds, will enable
the department to render still more
effective cooperation with the state
and other labor agencies, both in de-
termining local labor needs and sup
plies, and in efTecting economic dis
tribution.
The New York World observes that
the list of killed and injured in trallc
accidents on the streets OF that city
grows longer and more alarming with
every months returns. The number
of the dead for MAY was Al, for June "A
and for July 81, while the Number Of
the injured in the same period rose
from IDOL TO 1856. These are the fig
ures for Greater New York. How
much more impressive wound be those
for the country at large we're there any
way-which there is not-of putting
them together! Every large city, and
many country highways, in these days
of automobile touring, furnish their
quota of accidents, a large proportion
# them avoidable. The death roll Of
the highways must be cut down!

Home should be made the most in
Jeresting and best loved spot on earth,
not merely four square walls of wood
md brick; it should be the fountain OF
civilization the very word should touch
every fiber Of the soul and strike every
word of the human heart with its
angelic fingers, n place where that is
centralized on the higher and better
things Of life, bringing forth in the
highways and byways an influence that
will be felt by all with whom it come
IN contact. 1t should be place where
The heart is, place where our feet
may leave but not our hearts, place
where angels unfold their wings, the
place We love best, because it is the
place where mother is.

Teach your children to love the
beautiful. Give them corner Ia the
garden for flowers; encourage them TO
put il in the shape OF hanging baskets;
show them where they can best view
the sunset; rouse them in the morning,
not with the stern time to 60 TO
work, but with the enthusiastic "see
the beautiful sunrise" Buy for them
pretty pictures and encourage them to
decorate their rooms in his or her
childish way. Give them an inch and
they viii 20 mile. Allow them the
privilege and they viii make your
home beautiful

The "Horse Lauuh."

A woman correspondent of the Port
land Oregonan asks that journal if
there is warrant or authority in lltera-
ture for the term "horse laugh" The
lady is evidently of opinion that the
term is a vulgarism, but the Oregonian
disabuses her of that impression by
quoting such authorities as Pope, Cold
smith, Richardson and Dickens. 1t
may need to be added that The thee
last named attributed the expression
to characters drawn by them, but Pope,
a master of literary style in his day.
uses it as his own in "Epilogue to
Sattres."

WATER Is NOT WHAT IT SEEMS
May Be Cool, Clear and Sparkling, and
Free From odor and Still Be
Full of Disease Germs.

One cannot judge the purity of wa
ter by its looks. Things visible TO the
naked eye are usually harmless The
invisible germs Of disease are by far
the more injurious to human beings.
Most people feel that drinking water
Is safe to use if it Is cool, clear spark
ling and free from color or odOr. SUCH
is not the ease. Even the sparkle may
be due to decomposition products. The
bahhling brook usually contains more
dangerous bacteria than standing wa
ter. Streams do not purify themselves
by flowing over their rocky beds. The
mistaken notion that they do Is respon-
sible for great deal of vacation typ
phoid fever
The safest method Of destroying dis
ease germs in water Is by actual boil
ing. Boiling the water for five minutes
viii kill the germs of typhoid and al
lied diseases. Chlorine may also be
used to disinfect the water.
A stock solution Is nude by taking a
level teaspoonful Of flil.strength chic
ride Of lime and rubbing 1t up 70 a
thin paste free from humps in teacup
with little water. This should then
be made up to n cupful and diluted
with three more eupfuls Of water and
then poured into a bottle and tightly
corked. Add a teaspoonful Of this stock
solution to each two-gallon pail Of
drinking water, thoroughly mixing 1t
and allowing IT to stand for ten min
utes. This will give about one-half
pnrt Of free chlorine to million parts
Of wafer, which VIII destroy all typhoid
or dysentery producing germs.

We do not know why any one should
object to wife calling her husband by

Daring" or Love, pray do 80 as
often as you like, but always in the

An Ancient Custom,

In observance Of an annual custom
some centuries old the crown recently
sent from one of the royal parks four

three to the sherlffs and one each to

common sergeant and remembraneer.,

We know that music Is pleasant,
and home is not home where there are
no songs or sweet harmonies; but a
knowledge of the piano will not help n
roman discharge her wifely duties,
and smattering Of French or an
ability to waltz gracefully will do but
little towards preparing palatable
dinner for a husband when he comes
home hungry.

Guild hall, where the lord mayor Of
London is elected each year, sees many
representatives of the old craft guilds
at the banquet which celebrates these
occasions. Formerly the various guild
officers met in the counsel hall of this
historic ediice to decide important mu-
niCipal questions. Now the vote of the
guildmaster counts only as much as any
other Londoner, yet the influence of the
livery company is Of no mean impor-
lance to the Englishman who is rum
ming for lord mayor. Unfortunately
the individual guild houses of London
are so scattered that they do not make
the show that they would if grouped
together as in Brussels. In that city
the halls of this ancient order of work
men on the Grand place are one Of ,he
sights Of the city. With other build
ings of prominence they form the finest
square in all Europe.

ID the nursery is never surpassed AT a

impressions every moment, acquiring

HOME CIRCLE COLUMN.


IL the home all that is charac ter
istically feminine in woman unfolds
and aourishes Home without won az
is mjsnomer, for woman max es
home, and home is what she makes it,
If she is Illiterate, her horne partakes
of this quality; if she is immoral her
home cannot be the abode of virtue;
If she is coarse, refinement does not
dwell where she resides If she is
cultivated, pure, refined, those quail
ittes will characterize the home which
she creates. The higher the degree
of her culture, her purity, her refine
ment, the more will these qualities
characterize the home Of which she is
the center.
You look at the housewife who has a
place for her things, and these things
ia their places, and you find woman
who is systematic in her work, and
when she needs anything she can put
her hands on 1t in moment. She
plans and calculates whenever there is
to be extra work, extra cooking, extra
washing, etc, and she knows before
hand just what there is to do, and
what she wants 10 do it with. And
this same woman, SO exact in her
doings, gets more time to rest and
read ana instruct her children in the
paths Of right and the social duties
they owe to all. Ladies, we hope you
are of this class, receiving the bless
ings of your husband, and the praise of
all who know you.
Spend some OF your evenings at
home with your wife and children. II
you have an amiable, gentle wife,
surely your home must be a pleasant
one, but if, from increasing cares or
other reasons, she has grown fretful
or sullen, who knows but little more
attention or kindness on your part
might do a great deal towards the re-
turn of the aniability you SO much ad-
mired in her girIhood. If you would
stay at home oftoner evenings, treat
ing her with something OF the old ten
dernoss, making her believe, at least,
thar you are rot wholly Indifferent to
her happiness, you would soon see
change for the better in your house
hold.
