Red is the fashionable color of wom an’s hair just now, but in many pe riods and countries to have red hair meant to test the depths of misfor tune, even of death. Prejudice against red hair runs back even to Egyptian times, for in that land of decided opinions and strong prejudices it was the custom to burn alive some unfortunate individual cursed with red hair, so it was decid edly uncomfortable to have red hair in Egypt, as no one knew whose turn would come next. That the Chinese shared this preju dice against red hair Is proved by their epithet for the English, whom they called “red-haired barbarians” or “red-haired devils.” The great exception to this rule among ancient nations is the Romans, for since the time of Nero they have praised red hair in the highest terms. They preferred a dark red, almost brown, such as we term auburn, and modern Romans share this liking. It is said that among the patrician families of Rome and Florence there Is an ab normally large number of red-haired women. Modern Greeks share this pre dilection with the Romans and they highten the reddish effect of the hair by wearing dull gold ornaments. One of the most frequent causes of the prejudice against red hair In Chris tian countries undoubtedly goes back to the tradition that Judas, the be trayer of Jesus, had red hair, and most of the artists paint him thus. Shakes peare refers to this in “As You Yike it,” when Rosalind says of Orlando, “His very hair is of the dissembling color,” and Celia answers: “Some thing browner than Judas.” The Brahmins were forbidden to marry red-haired women and, as has been said: “The populace of most countries, confounding moral with es thetic impressions, accuse red-haired people of various shortcomings.” Besides the old tradition of Judas having been red-haired aiding to cre ate the prejudice existing in many lands the fact of the feeling against red hair in England is set down to the red-haired Danes, who could not be regarded save as invaders and bar barians.

When a light glowed within me And 1 promised by early God to have Courage amid the [tempests of the changing years. Spare me from bitterness and the sharp passions Of ungarded moments, May my thoughts and actions be such As shall keep mo friendly with myself; Fjrbid that I judge others less I condemn myself, Give me few friei.ds who will love me for what I am; And keep ever burning bright before my vagrant steps The kindly light of hope; and though Age and infirmity overtake roe, and I Come not within sight of the castle of my dreams, Teach me still to be thankful for life And for Time’s old moments that are '•Good and sweet; and may the even ing twihght Find me gentle still. —'Max Ehrmann. That Furrowed Brow. It seems almost as if we modem folk studied deliberately to appear ill- tempered in the eyes of our fellow-be- ings, fearing lest a relaxation from our habitual frown should lower us in the esteem of those we meet. Yet surely the opposite should be '.he case. The sour expression Is that of the beaten woman, the failure. The well- to-do, the successful, should, of all peo ple, be the happier. There is nothing undignified In a smile; one should not be ashamed of a light heart and a clear conscience. But the world has created a tradition that the cares of responsibility must be marked by a furrowed brow. It finds the women with a merry laugh, in business hours certainly, a woman to be treated with caution. “Thle woman laughs,” says the world, in ef fect; “she cannot be a sound woman; phe is too frivolous.” Dull, dour and unbending, the world, our world, plods on Its way, hoarding Its smiles for fear of its dignity, un til at last it forgets to smile alto gether. Generations of scowling faces have taught us to usspe^t the Bmlling ones. We fear their owners are endeavoring to ingratiate them selves with us for no good purpose. To regard things cheerfully is to be tray a lack of solidarity and worth. Wife Couldn’t See the idea. That few men know how to maka the most of their time was the asser tion of Governor Deneen. To prove his point the governor told of friends of his who were moving. The wife conceived the notion that she might save time by wearing on each trip to the new home one of her nun>erous coats and leaving it It would be easier than packing them. She was surprised, however, to find, on the occasion of one visit to the fu ture dwelling, her husband removing his clothes. “Why, John, what on earth are you doing? Are you going to bed?” “Of course I'm going to bed," said John. “I’m going to get my ck)thefl over here like you are yours. Now, then, you see, I will just ge over to the house and get on another suit.” Needless to say his wife soon settled that.

Barlow, the eastern chanv plon, said at the Gape May Golf clubi nodding toward a certain man: "Yes, he Is a very poor player. Even his caddy, for all his liberal tips, scorns him. “One afternoon he made a wretched foozle and tore up a sod. Lifting this sod in his hand—^It was about a foot square—^he said to his caddy ru» fully: “ ‘What on earth am I to do with this, John?’ “‘If I was you,’ the boy answered, ‘I’d take it up to the hotel to praotica on, sir.’ ”—^New Orleans Dally States. Hts Car. “And what is that little building over there?” asked the visitor to Tompy’s place. “That? Oh, my wife calls that the garage,” said Tompy. “Oh—what is your car?” asked the visitor. “Oh, that’s a mirage,” said Tompy. —Harper’s Weekly.

A young lady reporter on a country paper was sent out to interview lead ing citizens as to their politics. “May I see the gentleman of the house?’* she asked of a large woman who opened the door at one resi dence. “No, you can’t!” answered the wo man, decisively. “But I want to know what party he belongs to,” pleaded the girl. “Well, take a good look at me.” she said, sternly “I’m the party he belongs to,” Frightful Polar Winds blow with terrific force at the far north and play havoc with the skin, causing red, rough or sore chapped hands and Ups, that need Bucklen’s Arnica Salve to heal them.

C* Qlfta for Filipino Tribesmen. While traveling around among tfcese people of th« mountains the giving of presents enters a great deal Into the m«thod8 of treating with them. As a rule the gift« whick are acceptable are mere trifles. Among the Ifugaos a cus tom formerly required them to wear In the’ hair a white rooster’s feather on.fiesta days. More recently a strip of onion tldn tlssuo paper an inch wide has bew Introduced, and it is HOST the universal present from the secretary on his visit. These papers ar« worn as a sign of holiday, and after the fiesta is over they are care fully preserved till another occasion calls them forth. The Ilongots and Calingas like beads, and a common bead of Imitation agate which is worth A t9w eentayoB In Manila has jta value enhaiiced till It is worth 50 oil* tavos In th© hills. Scarlet cloth Is also acceptable to the Ifugaos and Ilongots. One of the very highest prlMfl of all is the pearl oyster shell, and several ot these are alway» taken along. A great deal of discretion must be ezeicised in giving such presents, so as not to ohMpen them, nor to plaoe thiem in the hands of the wrong people.—Manila Times.
