curioaities Of Red Hair.

It is curious fact that red-haired
person seldom marries a life partner
who has hair of ruddy hue. The
reason why parents with glossy black
hair SO often have red-haired Children
is because the glossiness is due to red
hidden by black pigment. A dark
haired child has never been known to
have parent with haxen hair. The
rule is that children will not have
darker hair than that Of the darkest
haired parent.

King Named Pennsylvania.

II was Charles II who gave the
name Pennsylvania to the American
colony. The founder would have
named 1t New Wales on account Of
Its rugged and beautiful scenery. A
good story Is told Of how Charles once
turned the tables on his Quaker sub
ject when they met In the park. "Why
dost thou remove thy hat friend
Charles2" asked William Penn. "Be-
cause wherever I am it Is customary
for only one person to remain uncov-
ered." Penn was much at home with
kings. James II used to go to Quaker
meetings to hear him preach. He
knew Anne as a little girl end that
queen counted him as an old friend.
but William III was not so cordially
disposed. When Peter the Great was
occupying Evelyn's residence at Dept
ford he went to Quaker meetings and
knew Penn. Indeed, that destructive
tenant and absolute monarch and mill
tarist said that whoever could live as
a Quaker would be happy.
