Whence the "Spit Curl"

The curl over the forehead, MS worn
by young ladies of today, has very
long literary history, having been men
toned before the time of Shakespeare,
and probably has existed for many
centuries. A very antique statue de-
plcts Opportunity us having a bald
head, save for one lock of hair In
the center of the forehead. This was
to show that there was but one chance
to take advantage of an opportunity.
Doubtless the bellies Of that day, TAX
Ing the lesson taught by the marble
to heart, began to wear similar lock.
The practice has continued to the
present day.
The curls are made to adhere to the
forehead by the application of any
one of many modern substances made
expressly for that purpose. These
curls are called by the commonalty,
spit curls," but this is mlsnomer
and misleading

In looking up amounts paid
on our road pavement, it might
be of interest to some, at least,
to know how well these payments
have been met since December
1st., when these tax lists were
mailed out. Our road contract
cost about S5,000.00-of this
amount one-fourth assessed to the
adjoining property owners along
the pavement for two miles each
way-this amount being about
$4,000, which could run for 10
years if necessary.
Since December LIST the amount
Sf $19,9S5.00 has been paid to
the county treasurer, or "A per
cent. This is very gratifying,
and especially to our county of
ficers, as at this rate, the proba"
bilities are that the adjoining
owners tax will be taken up
within two or three years.

Naturally Indlonant.

Representative Allen T. TreadwAy of Massachusetts, who has been tour ing in Europe, and Levi Cooke of this city, who has been touring in New England, met in the house corridor and swapped experiences. When Cooke's turn came he talked so fast the congressman had no chance to get in a word. He described g visit he paid to a certain famous inn in the Berkshires. It was in the nature of a general complaint against the hotel, with final parting shot at the bed he had to sleep upon. He wound up by telling of discovering scratched on the headhpaFd of the bed these words: i: ''This is the worst bed l ever slept in. (signeO Daniel Webster"
 During the entire recital of this story, Mfr. Treadway's cOuntenance registered, aueeessively, surprise, in- dignation, anger, despair, wrath and utter collapse. Impotently he tried to reply to the rapid-fire talk of Mir. Cooke, mOpping his brow and the space under his collar with his hand kerchief.
 Colleagues who observed the scene thought Representative Treadway had a stroke of apoplexy. The real req son is that Treadway owns and operates that particular inn, which has for many years been the model of hotel excellence. Treadway was born on the premises and is proud of the standing of his inn, since 1t was the principal stage coach stop on the road from Albany to Boston Washington Star.

Advice to Parents.

A little English girl, Catherine Alex ander, fourteen years old, Is the au- thor of a treatise entitled "HOw Parents Can Improve Themselves" People who are most likely to know how to bring up children" she says "are girls of about thirteen to fifteen. They are just old enough to see reason and to understand why it is good tO sometimes make children do what they do not wish to, and are yet young enough to know what 1t is to be a child, and to know which things . child likes and understands and which things it doesn't"
 Catherine makes a number of sug- gestions about not spelling children by coddling them, about eating and read ing and about self-restraint in parents. "Never lose your temper and fly sud- denly into a rage" she advises. Your children only despise you for it and take no notice of you, and are prob ably badly influenced by you . Show your children all your good qualities; it helps in the end, for they will thus learn from you and will ad- mfre and respect you"

Americans Live Longer Now.

The life of an average American has been heightened by five years since 1909, according to the findings of the committee on elimination of waste In industry of the American Engineering council appointed by Herbert Hoover. Surveys of sickness, the report shows, indicate an economic gain to the na" ton of many millions of dollars through decreased disability and sick ness, observes the New York World.
 Army figures bear out estimates OG industrial loss resulting from acch dents to the eye and defective vision. Of 2,232 men discharged for physical reasons hy the military authorities In Brooklyn and Manhattan, 462 were re- jected because of defective eyes. Eye conservation, the report argues, has now become a matter of organized n9- tiOnal concern.
 It Is estimated that every day neaEA ly 2,5OO,OOO people are i'll in the Unk ted States. Tuberculosis is still the worst communicable disease, though it's ravages are decreasing. Federal and state action is included in an elaborate program suggested to min imize illness and prolong lives. There is no reason, it is declared, to believe that the race is physically advancing, but that national vitality Is increas- ing, according to the waste investi- gators of the council.

sOh, my goodness alive!" exclaimed the mistress of the mansion as she greeted some newly arriving guests at the front door. Here's this rug all rolled up againI At's my husband who does 1t! He gets in front of the mir TOT here and dances.
 'Yes, you see his lodge Is putting on a minstrel show. There are six or eight end men, and Paurs one Oe them. just paid $5 to have my hard. wood floors polished, and Paurs worn all the polish off practicing his dances.
 Last night he had a man from Ms souri who knew all about buck and wing dancing come in and instruct him for an hour. Several men called him up on business. But he wouldn't let me interrupt him for any one of them He had all his friends lined up here observing his antics and making suggestions.
 Paul sings, Please Mama, Papa's Gettin' Madv Then after he sings that he has to dance, and that's where the trouble comes in. If he sings too loud and vigorously it takes all his breath and he can't dance. .
 Ordinary dancing is hard enough on him. because he Is six feet tall and weighs POS! But this is extraor- dinary dancing with a big handicap. He wears an alarm clock for a wrist watch, and a locomotive headlight for a diamond pin. To dance around with these things on after singing is almost impossible.
 "The friends who were here last eve- . ming couldn't agree as to whether Paul would be funnler laughing or looking solemn during the stunt"
 "Of course you will be going to th0 entertainment to see him." suggested one of the guests,
 "Oh. yes, I'm going to be there right up in front, and if Paul sees me he'll smile all right, because he'll remember the damage he did to my floor in front of the mirror"
 "Well, I'm not going to be there, " declared Paul's mother. 'SFhe cheap est seats are 50 cents, and I'm sure the show won't be worth 50 cents to me- I've been acquainted with some Ok Paul's jokes for 57 years, more OF Iess."-Fall River Globe.
