That Loose Shoe Strinq.

Little things often lead to serious
consequences. So it is not surprising
to learn that recently an employee Of
a large manufacturing establishment
was coming down the stairway from
the third floor Of the warehouse, when
the lactag In one of his shoes became
united. He continued to go down the
stairs, and when about five steps from
the landing he stepped on the flowing
shoe lace, which threw him, and he
fell, striking his head and shoulders
on the bottom step with such force
that he died the next morning. Which

tails as loose shoe strings.-Scientific

The Reason Why,

This difference In the complexion Of
people Is due to the varying amount Of
pigment or coloring material In the
cells of which the skins of all animals
are made. Very light people have very
little pigment; very dark people, those
with dark eyes and black hair, have
great deal of this coloring material
In their cells.
A great many people are neither
light nor very dark. They have less
than the dark complexioned people
and more than the light complexioned
people. When the hair turns gray
1t is because the pigment has disap-
peared. AS this is due to the loss of
this coloring material, dark complex
Toned people turn gray sooner than
light complexioned people. The struc-
ture of the skin showing how these
cells are made in layers can be seen
by examining the skin with a micro
scope.

dhows are rusty tramp steamers with
tawdry wares of the West. Farther
up the valley, at Kurna, where the
Euphrates and Tigris join, Is the ira

beyond are the ruins of Babylon and
on the bank of the Tigris Is the ro-

the wits and the wealth of Islam and

Arabian coast are great ruins, still

that some day 1t will be demonstrated
that here was the scene of nomentous

the human race while the shores of
