Length of Hair Marked Caste,

For long time the length of hair
was considered mark of caste in
France. Only members of the royal
family and princes of the blood could
wear their hair long. Polled hair was
a sign of obedience and inferiority.
To cut the hair of prince was to de-
prive him of his right of succession
to the throne.
Notwithstanding these facts.
Charlemagne liked to wear his hair
short. The name of his son., Charles
the Bald, indicates the style Of Golf
fure he affected. The Emperor The
ophilus was also afflicted with bare
crown and he. to shun the notoriety
of it, strongly urged his subjects to
cut the hair on their heads, advanc-
ing numerous reasons, sanitary and
otherwise, for its accomplishment.

Ancient Pictures.

Mankind has always loved pictures.
Races, without written language,
have left behind them rude carvings
and murals to attest the. fact. When
an industry arose that appealed to
this ancient appetite with pictures that
moved, it did not have to wait long to
see whether it would die or flourish.
A dozen years ago the motion picture
business, as we now know 1t, did not
exist. Today the American public sup
ports 1880 moving picture theaters,
makes 5,00O,000,000 visits to them a
year and spends $75O,OOO,0OO annually
for the amusement.-The Nations

PIaythinas for Baby.

Many playthings can be made for
small children from pasteboard.
To make wagon use a four-cor-
nered box to which pasteboard wheels
should be attached by wooden axles,
these latter put through the sides of
the box close to the bottom. Use
the wheels on the axles. A small box
inside the wagon does for seat. Cut
out horse from pasteboard, stand
him infront of the wagon, then cut the
dAsher down a little way. Put Dob
bins tail into this and if his feet
touch level the rig is complete.

Mo Race Suicide Here.

Under the microscope the bacteria
found in peat are seen to be animals
of the lowest form, which reproduce
themselves by splitting into two parts.
Under favorable conditions two bac-
terra grow from one every forty min
utes. Those who wish to carry out
the mathematical progression will find
that a single bacteria will have in
creased to about 100000, 100000 in
"a hours. OF course many billions of
them die in that time, or they would
soon overrun the planet and crowd off
every other form of life.

Ten days ago, o Beautiful France,
you dipped the Tricolor to the Stars
and Stripes, and rejoiced with the
United States in memory of the hero
ism of Washington and those who
with him won Jul freedom on July
4, 1875. On this day the Stars and
Stripes salutes the Tricolor, ana
America reioices with France in that
which she commentaries of free
dom won in the fall Of the Bastille
July IA. 1889.
The two anniversaries are just
about far enough apart to invite
comparison and contrast.
We had our Washington; France
had her Lafayette.
The beating Town of prison walls
and the setting free of all within
constitutes the glory of this day for
France.
A large proportion OF the men in
the Bastille deserved to be there; but
government had become the instru-
ment of oppression, and those grim
walls stood in the popular mind as
the outward and visible sign OF
tyranny. The Bastille fell. and
France has never ceased to rejoice.
Nor will we in self-righteous spirit
remind France how much of evil
broke forth with the French Revolu-
ton, nor pretend that only the
righteous and the deyout and the
thoughtful participated in our Amer
lean Revolution.

canphor in one pound of melted
lard; remove scum; add enough line
black lead (graphite) to give an
iron color. Clean the tools and

@. Why does a snake after it is
killed, wiggle till the sun goes
/! down?-F. II. c.
A. The Biological Survey says
that in lower animals such as the
snake and the frog, the spinal cord
is of more Importance than the spi-
nal cords in the higher ORDERS of
animal life, since in the former 1t
influences the body motions more
than the brain does. 1t Is because
OF this fact that the heart of the
snake will continue to beat after
the head is severed from the BODY
In fact there have been cases when
the snake was kept in a cool moist
| place that the heart was found to
be beating "a hours after the head
had been severed from the body.
| On the other hand, if the snake were
10 be left in the hot sun, the heart
would stop beating within a few
minutes.
