FAMILIAR WITH I'LL FORTUNE
Men Whose Names Stand High on Roll
Of Genius Had to Fight for
Recognition.

No one need be ashamed Of the fact
that they may have been, at some time
or other, hard up for a meal. Many
celebrities have been situated IA SIM

For instance, there was the late Sir
Henry Irving, the great genius of the
stage. Few people know. of the trials

Of success. He was actually starving
on the streets at one time, without a
penny to buy bun.
Then there was Oliver Goldsmith,
the author of some Of our greatest
English classics. Once he lived in a
garnet and was bothered by a shrewish
landlady who demanded trent down."
Oliver Goldsmith had also numerous
other debts, which surely ought to have
turned him away from literature in
disgust as a means of livelihood.
But this Oliver Goldsmith would not
allow them to do, and consequently
he reaped his reward. And lola, the

Market for Hair.

It was stated recently that human
hair is worth $3.50 an ounce, and some
people have professed surprise at the
price, AS a matter of fact, the figure
is far below the fact. It is true that
some human hair can be purchased at
so low figure as $3.50 pound, but
this is the coarsest, commonest stuff,
concerning the origin of which it would
not be wise to inquire too closely.
From $500 to $3.50 pound are quite
usual prices for good examples Of hair
Of ordinary colors, while the rarer
hues, particularly white and auburn,
are much more expensive.
For pure white hair there is always
a larger demand than supply, and the
prices paid for the best qualities vary
from about $25 to $50 per ounce. A
well-known London dealer has sold
white hair at $500 per pound.

The Composers Cigarette.

Brahms always was credited with
a frugal mind, and the following story
Is told Of him and the late Erich
Wolff:
A cigarette had been offered by the
former to the latter, who received it
with emotion and placed it carefully
ir his waistcoat pocket.
"Why do you put the cigarette away?
Why not light it now?" asked Brahms,
who already had struck match.
II cannot smoke It," replied Wolff.
II shall take great care Of 1t; it is not
every day that one gets cigarette
from Johannes Brahms"
Thereupon the composer opened his
cigarette case again and said, with a
smile Of satisfaction:
"Then just give me back the good
cigarette, will you? For your purpose
an imitation will serve just as WE'LL"

OF all the ears of corn produced In

Most of them lose only few kernels

Of only one kernel per ear amounts to

found that insulated cans or the use of
felt jackets gave satisfactory results
both In summer and winter. The bene-
fetal results were especially notice

length or involved transfer Of milk at
junction points where the cans were
not sheltered, In summer the temper
allure of chilled milk In insulated or

winter the same protection prevented
