Blonde and Brunette.

Considerable difference of opinion has been
observed as to the merits of blonde women
and their brunette sisters, with those OF tar
complexion generally winning the more sup
port 1t is not long since that a judge got
himself into trouble by saying blondes had
better qualities than brunettes and only got
out of the difficulty by declaring he had not
meant it seriously A great many persons
writers. lecturers and historians OF one kind
or another have discussed the question, show
ing great divergence OF opinions; but for the
most part the blondes win.
Just why this is true is not satisfactorily ex-
planned. Golden hair susceptible OF varying
lights and shadows that jet black hair could
not have, might appear more artistic, although
artists would agree that perfect features with
face framed with hair as black as night could
be most enhancing. Brown or black eyes
may sparkle with just as much light those
of blue or gray and reflect as many depths
A writer in the London Mail, woman too,
and blonde n2ost likely, begins with Eve and
comes on down through history both of fact
and fancy, to show that blondes have been
farther famed than brunettes. This writer says
that fair hair "is usually accompanied by
qualities extremely attractive in women. For
the blonde is more affectionate than the bru-
nette. Impulsive and jealous, she makes de-
voted friend, but dangerous enemy.
Her blood flows more swiftly and more warm
ly than her darker sisters"
Millions of brunettes the world over could
prove by their attractiveness, their affection,
their devotion and their loyalty that they are
indeed the equals of their fairer sisters. Com
plexion is not believed to make difference
in character A difference in pigment cannot
really indicate a difference in nature. The
character of the woman, blonde or brunette,
is deeper than her skin, is beneath her crown
of gold or black. 1t is within her that the real
qualities are found Externals make little or
no difference, especially as to color, The color
that is more important concerns the woman's
soul, her heart, her mind If these be right
she is Gods most wonderful creature Wheth-
er dark or fair whether beautiful or plain
The more wonderful beauty OF woman is that
of her inner self.

The Widows Mite.
From the Chicago Tribune.

A widow with two children has just been
allowed 100000 for the support of herself
and two children for one year. She asserted
that she needed $4,000 a month, but the court
made it an even $500,000.
Fifteen or eighteen years ago the fortune
from which this annual sum is allowed was
non-existent, and we have a notion that its
recipient may have been getting along on not
$4,000 but $40 or $500 a month
What are the necessities she and her chill
dren have acquired since then to the tune Of
$4,000 month, the yearly return at 4 per
cent Of a million dollars?
How easy it is to develop expensive ap-
petites and tastes which become necessities"
1t does not take a dozen generations of wealth
to accomplish the change, nor even a lifetime
A few years in our Aladdin land the Geni
rubs the lamp, and the housewife with her
sleeves rolled up has become the bejeweled
dame who cannot live on less than thousand
a day. Necessity, which once rolled up her
sleeves, the next day rolls along in her Rolls
Royce.

The Country Editors.

The country editors of Georgia will lay
aside their work next week and attend the an
nual convention of the press association at
Washington and day or two enjoying the
delights OF the seashore at Tybee.
How little the merit of the work of these
men is sometimes appreciated. How often the
people who have been benefited by the up
lifting character of the thoughts OF these men
have taken them for the commonplace because
they had no standard by which to Judge them
otherwise. Reading them week after week,
month after month and through the years they
come to accept them as the only standard
How often the community in which such
men live is nodded in a common harmony OF
thought and purpose by the man who edits
the weekly paper though he sought only to
uplift his fellows and edify their purpose. How
often the scintillating gems of these men are
doomed to sparkle only i'll the limits OF their
circulation field, while cruder thoughts COM
mand the attention of nations because they
happen to have the opportunity of wider
circulation mediums.
The country editor is content to labor in his
limited field Frantic ambition and the artlt-
cial struggle for survival do not disturb him.
He lives his life as he chooses. He would not
exchange his place for the hurry burly and
life of the metropolitan journal, the
life blood Of which is rush. His life is real.
The other is superficial His thoughts are the
breath of the soul of humanity The thoughts
of the other are the painting sentiments OF
made to order sentiment devoid of human
sympathy and liking finite soul.
The country editor is a part OF the life OF
the community, and that life will never be
the same without him. 1t is direct and per-
sonal relation unknown in the wider field. He
knows the people to whom he speaks. He
with them in their sorrow and
rejoces with them in their joys. He is big
ger than he is accredited, and better than he
is believed.

Facts About the Bible.

1t may surprise many to know that there
are two chapters in the Bible which al
chapter of the Second Book of Kings and the
thirty-seventh chapter of Isaiah. There are
929 chapters with 592,493 words in the Old
Testament and 200 chapters and 1926
words in the New Testament. If asked off
hand most people would probably say there
were more words in the Bible than in Shake
peares works but as a matter of fact the bal
ance is III. favor of the bard, who has over
his plays have no fewer than 1277 characters
one of whom-Hamlet-ha 11,610 words to
deliver. Hamlet" indeed is the longest play
containing as it does $3.50 lines while the
Comedy OF Errors" is the shortest, with LIT
lines. The longest word is Observation-Disclosures
natibuS." The curious can find all the letters
OF the alphabet in the twenty-first verse of the
seventh chapter of Ezra, while reference to
the 1l7th Psalm will show that it is not only
the shortest chapter in the Bible, but also the
middle chapter of the book

The Fiddle and Politics.
From the Savannah Press.

Mr.. Strother of Lincoln, who has just been
elected messenger of the Georgia senate in
Atlanta, plays Che fiddle, and as Jim Hoo-
man writes in the Atlanta Constitution, that
is not liability" The late Henry Grady years
ago had a musical concert made up OF differ
ent members of the general assembly OF Geor-
gia in Atlanta who performed on the violin.
The Hon. Thomas Z. Watson was one OF the
performers. AS a young man he used to play
the violin, and there were several Wilhelmls
in the house and senate at the time. Mr..
Strother was formerly member OF the house
of representatives and his election has shown
that the combination of Confederate veteran
and violin virtuoso is invincible 1t will be
remembered that Governor Bob Taylor Of
Tennessee, who hdded his way into the hearts
of his countrymen, was both performer and
an old soldier. He was elected governor and
United States senator after his lntermezzos
in the mountain counties OF the Cumberland.

Enormous Salaries.

The controversy between the railroads and
their employees over present wages has de-
veloped expression of some interesting view
points. one Of which is the matter of salaries
paid to officials Of the various lines. The exec
utives were a unit in declaring that the pay
of the men was too high, but this brought
the retort from the workers that officials who
receive prnce1y salaries ought to be willing
to apply the same principle of economy to
themselves and cut down their own pay Sal
aries of certain railroad officials were cited as
running as high as 100000 or more, and the
suggestion made by the workers won the ap-
prova of a large part of the public. 1t is
generally believed, and not without reason,
that a great many railroad executives are re-
ceivng salaries too high for the work they
do.
No man on earth is worth 100000 a year
to society That assertion is not socialism.
If railroad heads, steel presidents and big
bankers and manufacturers and the scores OF
other business men who receive enormous
salaries would accept less pay they still would
have ample for their needs, and would find
a way to Tighten the burden of the ultimate
consumer Of their service or their products,
the one who is the end is the paymaster.

ORIGIN OF THE DOG.
Man Gained Domestic Pet From Jackal
And Wolf
From the Stone Age.

Man gained the dog by demonstrating the
jacka1 and different species OF wolves in dit
ferent parts OF the world and then by cross
ing or, by more or less unconscious selec
ton, breeding different varieties, until we have
at present a chaos of intermingled forms.
Something similar, but on a smaller scale, was
true of the domestic cattle. One kind of do
nestle cattle appears fully domesticated in
the oldest lake dwellings. 1t is unlike any wild
European form. This is the Bos brachyceros.
1t was almost Certainly imported. Mingled
with its forms we find those OF the BoS pri-
migenus, a native of Europe and North Asia,
but apparently not domesticated This is the
uruS, which was common in Europe in Gaze
sar's day. and lasted in Central Europe until
1000 A D., and still fingers in Poland This
was a very large and powerful form with long,
spreading horns, whose domestication appears
to have commenced toward the close OF the
Neolithic period 1t is not improbable that
it was domesticated or at least tanned indie
in different countries at quite dif
ferent times. Raising OF cattle was at its height
during the bronze age; alterward the results
seem to decline and the cattle to degenerate.

SPOONING IN VIENNA.

From the Vienna News.
Night joy-riders are getting to be nuisance
in Vienna. There are several varieties Some
are boisterous and rowdy; others, while less
noisy, are just as Objectionable because in
seeking the more secluded spots about town
for their spooning they are not always care
ful to pick places where their presence is de-
sired by the residents in the vicinity of these
places. Considerable complaint is being made
about such practices. Mothers who are doubt
full as to where their daughters ARD in the eve
ming might do we'll to find out if they are en-
gagged this way and put a stop to it before
they become involved in something that may
prove embarrassing.

The attorney general has separated from
the payrolls OF the department OF justice sew
enteen high priced attorneys engaged by A.
Mitchell Palmer when attorney general to
help him reduce the cost of living. 1t must
have required some sleuthing to discover these
attorneys, as there is nothing to indicate that
they ever did anything but draw their salaries.
Seventeen lawyers at 10000 year is 100000.
Instead of helping to reduce the cost of liv-
ing these lawyers merely added to it. A lit
tie detective work in the other departments
might result in a similar haul.

Punctures Reserve Bank Propaganda

Walton Tribune: The Federal Reserve Bank
heads are continually giving out a whole lot
of bull about improved conditions business
getting back to normal" everything is all
right" etc. Any man with an ounce OF brains
knows that general conditions are not i'm
proving and that there is no chance for them
to improve any time soon And, furthermore,
we long since arrived at the conclusion that
the Federal Reserve Banks were an absol late
drawback to southern prosperity, rather than
a help. The Atlanta papers ought to quit pub
fishing this senile nonsense from the reserve
bank heads and somebody with backbone
enough should go to them and tell them some
real facts which they apparently do not know.
