NOT DUE TO CIVILIZATION
Investigator Denies That Badness
Comes as a Result of Habits Of
Modern Man.

Shedding the hair of the head Is
part of the present evolution of civil
lied humanity, claims DR.. Ales
Hrdlicka, of the Smithsonian institu.
tion, who has made an extensive an
thropological study of Americans
whose ancestors have lived at least
three generations on this continent.
II would be wrong to blame the re.
duced vitality shown by the hair on
any particular habits of civilized man
or on disease conditions.
These may play a part, he says, but
the real cause is hereditary. The hair
tends toward an earlier senillty and
loss because it has become of less use
&c man living under modern condi-
lions than II was in the past. Nature
does not tolerate for long what has
become useless or weakened.
1t Is the men who are getting bald,
he finds. Women lose hair, too, he
says, but not nearly so rapidly as the
males. He is sure the women, do not
mislead him, as all Of them were ex-
amlned with their hair undone and
freely hanging down. Although Doctor
Hrdlicka explains the predlsposltion
to badness among males to inherit
ance, he adds words of woe to the
fapper by explaining that the reason
women have longer-cllnging hair is
that possibly the weight of the fe-
male hair acts as a tonlc."-Sclence

INDIVIDUALITY IN THE HOME
Arrangements Able to Reflect in a
Thousand Ways the Personality
of the Occupant.

On the subject Of individuality in
the home a recent writer has this to
say: Individuality is as important to
a house as personality TO a woman. A
room should be as sure an index TO the
character and taste of the person who
occupies it as the clothes she wears
or the books she reads. The truly in
teresting interiors are the. ones reflect
Ing in a thousand subtle ways the gra-
ciOus personality of the occupant. A
favored color repeated here and there
Unusual blbelOts culled from far
corners of the globe-a rug that imme-
diately challenges attention-these are
the things that stamp a room and rem
der it infinitely desirable. You are
all familiar with those interiors per-
feet to the last detail-every piece Of
furniture of the right period and in
the right place, and we all know how
uninspired they are. and how difficult
to live in. Nowhere is the unusual
touch, no sense of any personality
breaks through. Everything is stereo-
y typed ~ 4aassftt f consequently dull.

MARK TWAIN'S SENSITIVE EAR
Blographer Records Fact That Certain
Sounds Would Drive Humorlst to
Border of Distraction.

Mark Twain passed middle life
without music meaning more to him
than a pretty tune or prOdlglous
performance, a rather remarkable fact
when one considers what an artist
the man was i'm his own field. If Mark
Twain had been stone deaf the fact
might have been less remarkable, but
we have already noted that he could
play the piano sufficiently well by ear
10 provide his own accomplishments
for the negro spirituals, and IL Is of
further record that he was a man so
slngularly sensitive to certain sounds
that they sometimes drove him TO the
borders of hysteria. Mr.. Paine has
touched Slightly on this popularity,
but II was actually a more serious con.
sideration in estimating the humor-
lists life than the authorized biog-
raphy would lead one to believe. He
relates the incident OF the clocks In
the home of Thomas Mast, the car
toonlst, when Twain and George w.
Gable, in the course of reading tour,
lodged for the night with the Mast
family. But that was not the only
time that the ticking 81 -a-eihSsceS So
tortured Twain's nerves that he took
high-handed means TO silence it.

Ralph Holmes, in the Century.

RALEIGH's HOME IN DAaGsn
Proposal to Destroy Il and Erset Got
tages on the Site Has Aroused
Much Protest.

The ancestral home of Sir Walter
Raleigh may be destroyed. 1t lies In
the west country. on the edge of Dart
moor, and is known as Fardel. An.
GENTLY II was the seat Of the family
of Sir Walter Raleigh; today it is
nothing more than farmhouse, but
surely worthy of preservation, If only
for It's historical associations.
Raleigh's father. a country gentle
man, originally settled at Fardel,
where he owned property. His second
son, John, succeeded TO the family
estate at Fardel, ard there outllved his
more famous brother Walter. Con-
siderable remains of the old mansion
of Fardel existsA but what has reused
the protest of the Devonshire associa.
ton Is the proposal to convert the old
chapel into a number of cottages. Such
vandalism ought to be prevented at
any cost.
The courtyard at Fardel formerly
contained an Inscribed bi-lingual stone
of the Romano-British period. On
the one side were the words "Fanoni
Macquislni," and on the other. "Sapa.
nui." with some 0gham characters on
the edge. Local tradition makes the
inscription refer to treasure buried by
Raleigh in an adjoining field; and the
local rhyme runs thus:
Between this stone and Fardel Hall

when their contracts had been fin
ished would return the same to the
sale-stables for re-selling, thu3 maxi
ing two deals for the horse dealers.
Spectators have been conspicuous
at the sales buying up horses when
the market was low for re-selling in
the country. and have helped the
trade in this way, by making good
weekly clearances. In the shipments
of western horses there have beef
some extra choice horses offered in
the heavy weights which mostly sold
in matched pairs. but it has not been
an uncommon occurrence for dealers
to say. well. the horses this week
did not average up very high as to
quality, and sold cheap" Good quail
ity horses however, held at firm
values throughout the year. thus
making the averange range of prices
showing but little change from those
of a year ago. but general sales re-
ported showed a lower average than
for many years. This is perhaps a
natural outcome of the closing of
the war, when the breeders must
have been left with many young
horses on hand for which they ex-
pected to get war values, and have
not cared to spend much money on
their raising with the knowledge
that there would be a poorer de-
mand. and lower prices. At some
of the sales of the past year dealers
have stated that never since they
were in business had they seen so
poor a market, and they are not
looking for brisk business until all
general business begins to improve.
