Makes Hair Behave But
Doesn't Show!

There's a way to keep your hair
iust-so, without any of that objec-
tionable, "plastered-down" look. Just
use a few drops of Danderine-comb
it through hair. or use Danderine-
dampened towel-you'1l be amazed
at the way your hair then behaves,
and its beautiful luster!
Of course, you know what Dam
derine does TO dandruff. Dissolves
every bit of it. Puts scalp in the

and hair roots. Why use anything
else?

Farmer Gets Benefit
of Ancestors Bravery

One pfennig rental has been paid
annually for the past $50 years by the
same tenant family to the house OF
Rant2au, at Itzehoe, Germany, for ten
acres Of land, prennig equals one
fourth of cent. The recipient this
year Is the family OF Count Ulrich X.
Brockdorlf- RuntZau. Because Of the
scarcity of silver pfennigs, with which
the original agreement provided that
the rental be paid the same coin has
been used In the transaction for %
years. Each year the coin Is received
with great formality and handed back
to the farmer so that he may pay"
again the following year. The curious
agreement commenced when the orig
inal Count Rantzau, hunting on horse
back on the border of his large estate
near ItZehoe, rode into swamp. His
horse sank Immediately The count
shouted for help and Rheinhurd
Brouer, neighborlng farmer, sue
ceeded at the peril of his life In rescu-
Ing the n0bleman. Brauer spurned a
cash reward, but Count Rantzau In
sisted on showing his gratitude in
some manner. "Well." said Brnuer,
IF you must give me something let
me have the marsh from which res
cued you" The count agreed, on the
condition that Brauer and his descend
ants pay to Count Rantzau and his
descendants an annual rental Of one
silver pfennlg.

Found Famous Writer
Had Been Before Him

The monument to Guy De Maupas-
SAINT at Miromesnll, Norway, recalls
a story illustrating how easily uncon-
scious literary plagiarism may be com
mitted. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle once
told friend that, travelling In Swltz-
erland, he came upon an inn Isolated
In the mountains for four months In
every year By the time he had
reached the plain below he had
mapped out In his mind a story In
which two enemies were TO be shut
up In the inn for four months Of iso-
latlon At the first railway bookstall
he came to one Of De Maupnssant's
books caught his eye. He bought 1t
and, turning to the first page, "L'Au-
berge" appeared as the heading of the
story. The "Auberge' was his lden'
tlcal inn, the story was Of two enc
mics shut up there during the winter,
and the denouement the same rs he
had imagined.

Evolution of Trousers

The Hnberdasher says: Trousers
are comparatively young things, hnv-
Ing come In about the same time the
last century did. George III was the
last English monarch who wore knee
breeches as regular thing The
change from breeches to trousers was
not a studied one, however, for there
was period Of transition. During
that time men took to tights and
galters, and these were the forerun-
ners of trousers proper, that Is, the
straight up-and-down loose-cut models
we know today. We cannot say who
first introduced them to America, but
then, as now, our countrymen over
here followed the fashions Of England
very closely, and It Is quite likely that
they made their appearance simultane-
ously In England and In the States"

Abyssinians Hold Name
OF Saint George Holy

81. George seems to be the patron
saint of the Abysslnlans, for In their
country there are number OF
churches named for that parsonage.
One Of them is carved out Of solid
rock and Is wonderful piece of work
having the appearance Of hewn stone.
There are beautiful arches and win.
dows and some exquisite carving In
stone. The structure Is built In the
shape OF St Georges cross and the
stone roof has a similar cross carved
upon 1t.
The building IL very pretentious and
of a size designed to hold and accom-
modate several hundred persons. II
has a sacred pool on the premises
which Is said to have been filled with
water from the River Jordan years ago
and which has never evaporated. The
story IL one which IL generally ac-
cepted by the natives, but incidentally
casual observer will see that the
surrounding area Is drained into this
pool and that Is probably what keeps
the level constant. Chicago Journal

Eskimo Theory of Death

The Eskimo theory Of death Is pc
cullar to Christian eyes, and has re-
suited In many tragedies. 1t was be-
ieyed that man had two souls, one
good one evil. When he died the good
soul expected to spend eternity In
bliss and comfort In II warm place I'M
foreground His bad soul was sup
posed to remain on the spot where the
body died, lasting, harmful influence
over those who were luckless enough
to encounter It. When person be-
came Ill the medicine man was sent
for Almost always he pronounced
the case hopeless. The invalid was
then taken out OF the iglOo and placed
on the snow to perish. II was a lOgi-
cal proceeding, for II he died indoors
the igloo would have to be abandoned
and sealed up forever.
