New Fad for Collectors.

Americans are collectors of a good
many things from buttons and postage
stamps to costly works Of art, but so
far as known none of them makes a
speciality of locks of hair. II is Silf-
ferent In England, remarks the In
dianapolis Star. Recently lock Of
Napoleon's hair was offered at auction
and brought $780, 1t had been given
by Napoleon's valet to the captain of
the British company on guard at st.
Helena at the time of the emperor's
death, and had been In his own pos
session and that of his descendants
since the event.
The very next day among the effects
of a recently deceased admirer of Adj
mlral Nelson being offered for sale
was a lock Of the British admlraIs
hair. 1t went for $75. It came orig
inally from barber shop on Bond
street, where 1t was then, and still is,
the custom to preserve and ting the
clippings from the heads Of illustrious
customers. The continuance of the
fashion as well as the auction sales
indicates the existence of demand
for such relies In England. The
preservation of such locks for COM
mercinl purposes is point American
BARRIERS missed, probably because there
is no demand, for since the wearing
by women Of brooches containing
locks of hair went out Of fashion 1t
is not known that human documents"
of this sort are treasured, at least in
collections. Certainly they would hard
ly bring much at auction.

DUG GRAVE FOR CATERPILLAR
Resourceful Ant Performed Last Rites
and Probably Provided Future
Source Of Food.

A lady seated on a porch one sum-
mer day witnessed n performance by
one Of those Industrious little crea-
lures the ants, that she would hardly
have credited II she had not observed
It for herself.
As she rocked back and forth near
the edge Of the porch she noticed a
dead caterpillar lying ON a hill of sand
below the house. 1t was fat cater
pillar and doubtless In life had been
vivid green color, but now 1t was
faded and rusty looking. Large stones
surrounded the mound of sand, and
presently It appeared that there was
another spectator of the caterpillar's
last Sleep A huge ant ran up over
the stones, back and forth, nearer
and nearer, encIrcllng the caterpillar
several times, as though on a hasty
tour of inspection. Apparently salts
fed, It then disappeared, but not for
long; 1t had only been surveying the
outlook lower down. There, in a shell
tered spot near big stone, 1t sud
denly began making queer movements
in the sandy clay. Digging-that Is
what It was doing.
with eager haste It threw up little
bits of sand with its legs, and so fast
did It work that n tiny hole began
to show itself in the sand. The lady
leaned over the balustrade Of the
porch and watched with eager In
terest.
Was 1t possible that the industrious
little insect was digging grave for
the CATERPILLAR And. indeed, 50 It
seemed. without moments rest It
dug and dug, the sand forming little
piles all around 1t. In what seemed
an incredibly short time deep hole
appeared in the sand and the busy ant
desisted in triumph.
But now was to come the hardest
part Of all, and IL I had not been an
eyewitness I should not have believed
that an insect could have accomplish
ed such task. With an occasional
shove, and many pulls, 1t drew the
caterpillar's body along until 1t hung
over the yawning hole. Then the ant
disappeared down the opening, and
1 held my breath. What would happen
next2-Had she given up her proJectp
But no-slowly, slowly, the body of
the big caterpillar began to move
downward into the hole, and real
lied that the clever insect was below
and drawing 1t down. In few seconds
the entire caterpillar had disappeared
from view. Then the fussy ant return
ed to the surface and again began its
miniature shovellng, only this time the
clay was thrown back Into the hole.
The burial was flnished-but walt
not quite complete. From somewhere
near another ant had appeared upon
the scene and together they carried
tiny stones and placed them over the
mouth Of the hole as though to mark
the place. then the two hastily dis
appeared, to look for further industry
l am told that the ants sometimes
lay caterpillars away thus, to serve
as future food for their young.
1t has been said that those who do
not believe In an overrulng prOvl-
dence should watch such actions Ga
these on the part of ants and bees -

Grimes grew white beneath the tan
and braced himself along the wall Of
the cabin. Such situation was enough
to unnerve the most veteran soldier Of
misadventure.
"How long will It take to get this
here little racer inter action" inquired
the master Of ceremonies as he strad-
died a stool and waved the revolver
In the direction of the six-cylinder mo-
tor. Manhattan Landing will be our
port Of debarkation, an We can't get
there any too quick"
Grimes resorted to strategy-clumsy,
as 1t proved-for a loophole Of escape.
II need gas before we can start" he
said. II can get some up at the cot
tage."
The big man grinned with savage
sarcasm, displaying two rows of sharp
uneven yellow teeth.

rled conviction. ~ looked inter the
little old tank, and there's enough to
carry us to Manhattan, all right; an
the spark plugs is all o. k, and there's
plenty Of cylinder oil. When do We

Abandoning for the present all at
tempts to evade the issue. Grimes
switched on the spark. procured the
crank and spun the motor. 1t started
on the second trial, spluttering ex-
postulation until the cylinders re-
sponded to the friction warmth and
the gas began o steady flow. Grimes
unleashed the Lightning from the dock
and let in the clutch, under the wary
eye Of his captor. In a few moments
the speeder was skimming past Senti-
mel light, blowing two ridges of foam.

invited passenger. II been studying

Grimes turned quickly. keeping one
hand on the wheel, and as he looked
closely at the bearded face Of the 9TH
er 1t seemed that there was something
decidedly familiar about It,
"That's my NAME" he responded.
"And you-why, you can't be Big Jim
| Colei"
The giant laid down his weapon and
made his way to where Grimes stood.
| The shifting Of the tremendous weight
caused the boat to rock eccentrlcally,
but Grimes steadied 1t. The other
seized him by the hand and fairly
crushed II.

"You don't sayl" calculated the 81
ant, retiring to his former seat In or
der to better ballast the boat. "Why
do you know that girl-well, tell me
about It,"
Grimes did so, keeping the launch
headed for Manhattan Landing. When
he had finished his story the other sat
silent for several minutes, looking out
the cabin window, strange, unfath-
dnable expression on his face. Pres

Dried Vegetable Value.

1t is by no means certain that dried
vegetables possess the same nutriment
value as vegetables that have not been
dried. Prof. Philip B. Hawk of Jeffer-
son Medical college, Philadelphia, notes
In Science phenomenon that was
called to his attention by Charles Den
by Of the war trade board and Daniel
Moreau Barringer, which suggests that
some hitherto unsupported structural
change takes place In vegetables when
they are dried
II is well known that when dried
vegetables are immersed in water for
a few hours they assure form close
ly resembling that Of fresh vegetables.
Yet II this swollen vegetable be left at
room temperature for from "a TO 80
hours 1t returns to its dried stnte, in
other words, fresh vegetable holds
Its water much more tenaciously than
does a dried vegetable that has been
immersed In water.

Avarlce.

Avarice begets more vices than
Priam did children, and, like Prlam,
survives them all. 1t starves It's keeper
to surfeit those who wish him dead I;
and makes him submit to more mortI-
fcations to lose heaven than the mar.
tyr undergoes to gain II. Avarice Is q
passion full of paradox, madness full
of method; for although the miser Is
the most mercenary Of all beings, yet
he serves the worst master more
faithfully than some Christians do the
best, and will take nothing for It. He
falls down and worshlps the god of
this world, but will have neither lts
pomps, Its vanities, nor Its pleasure for
his trouble. He begins to accumulate
treasure as a means to happiness, and
by q common but morbid association
he continues to accumulate 1t as an
end. He lives poor to die rich, and is
the mere TALLER Of his house and the
turnkey Of his weath.-C. G. Cotton.

Irish Linen Industry.

Irish linen acquired national lmpor-
lance In the seventeenth century. Dur
ing the reign Of Charles II the exten-
sion of the Irish wooden manufacture
appears to have made such rapid
strides that the jealousy OF English
manufacturers was aroused Conse-
quently, an act WIS passed by the
British parliament prohibiting any ex-
port Of wool from Ireland, except to
England and Wales. Not content with
this, another act was passed later for
bidding any export whatever of wool
or wooden manufacture from Ireland.
The WOODEN trade being thus reduced
to the quantity required for home con
sumption, rapidly declined and It's
place soon taken by linen manufac.
ture.
The old Irish name for fax was
Thin, closely resembling French lin,
the Latin llnum and the English
words lint and linen. Linen dyed
yellow was much worn by the an.
cient Irish, the brughalds, or farmers,
being obliged TO learn to prac.
tice the cultivation OF fax.

The Similarity.

Ray Bright was Santa Claus on
Christmas eve at the Thompson kin.
dergarteD at Terre Haute. His little
daughter is In the kindergarten, so
he was very careful to change his
voice and actions as much as he could.
But when he went to slip on his Santa
Claus suit he forgot all about the
white handkerchief around his neck
which he wore to keep his collar from
rubbing the boil underneath.
And after the party was over and
he had again donned his cltizen'a
clothing he went after his little
daughter. Happily she snld, ooh,
daddy, SANTA Claus was here a little
while ago" and then her voice be.
came sympathetic, "and, oh, daddy,

EGYPTIANS HAD FIRST FAIRS
Custom Which Has Become Universaj
Had Its Origin In the Land
Of the Pharaohs.

Though country fairs, to us of the
metropolis, mean nothing more than
a bit Of local color on how the other
half Of the world lives, they are still
an important feature Of the social and
commercial intercourse of many rural
communities where the facilities for
reaching large centers are not yet
very greatly developed. And so they
would seem to be just an adaptation
to natural needs, which they were
from the very beginning, ages and
ages ago. But then they were natural
needs Of a very different order.
1t was among the ancient Egyptians
that they started. At the periodic
overflow Of the Nile which laid waste
almost the entire Nile valley, the peo-
pie In the affected areas would flock
with their produce In barges to the
festivals of various kinds which we're
always being held In the large cities
or In the vicinity Of the great temples.
Here they found ready market for
whatever they had brought with them
and many diversions to while away
the time until they could go back to
their homes. 1t is interesting to note
that 1t Is still the custom among the
Hindus and other Asiatic races to
flock periodically to the great markets
during festival times.
In the early days of the church
these celebrations were assigned to
the festival day of the patron saint of
the town in which they were held. The
church yard was then given over to
tradesmen for the display Of their
wares and refreshments were served.
Because the inhabitants of the town
were supposed to spend the night in
prayer to the patron saint, the festi-
walls at this time were called wakes,
but as Catholicism waned the religious
element was discarded and the term
"falr" adopted.-Chicngo Journal.

The Ways o, Children.

Nothing can stagger a chlld's faith !;
he accepts the clumslest substitutes
and can swallow the most staring in
congruitles. The chair he has Just
been besleging as castle or vnllantly
cutting to the ground as dragon, IL
taken away for the accommodation
of morning visitor and he is nothing
abashed; he can skirmlsh by the hour
with stationary coal scuttle; In the
midst of the enchanted pleasance he
can see without sensible shock the
gardener soberly digging potatoes for
the days dinner. He can make alb
stractlon OF whatever does not 1T into
his fable. And so It Is that
although the ways OF children cross
with those Of their elders In hun
dred places daily, they never go in
the same direction nor so much as lie
In the same element. SO may the tel
egraph wires intersect the line of the
highroad, or so might n landscape
painter and a bagman visit the same
country, and yet move In different
worlds.--R. l.. Stevenson.
