o FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1911, THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER Nature’s Scene Shifting. Although in the geological past vast changes of level occurred on the bor- ders and even in the center of conti- nents, it Is a debated question whether at present similar elevations and sub- sidences can be detected. Recently the frequently repeated statement that the coasts of Massachusetts and New Jer- sey are perceptibly sinking has been disputed, the appurent suhsidence be- ing ascribed to simple changes of shore line. But some curious records kept in Kurope seem to indicate that actual fluctuations of the level of the land may occasionally be observed. In the valley of the Main a church tower hidden behind a mountain screen has since 1861 gradually risen into plain view from the chateau of Strossen- dorf, and still farther in the same di- rection another church tower, which began to be visible from Strossendorf eighty years ago, is now clearly seen above the horizon and is said to rise higher as time goes on. Similar rec- ords exist in Bohemia, in Switzerland, in Spain and in the French Jura. Ocean Derelicts. There is an old dread of encounter- ing a derelict that is just below the surface of the water. There is nc such danger. A derelict that will sink below the surface will sink to the bot- tom. Take a tub of water and try to find any object that will unattached occupy a position that is other than at the surface or at the bottom. There is a long task ahead of you. There is the false theory that the water grows denser as one goes deeper and that a sinking object will ind a place where it will remain suspended. This theory is not correct, and a boat that will eink beneath the surface will sink to the bottom, even if that bottom should be twenty miles down. The derelict that is bumped into has a plece of it- self sticking out of the water as an alarm if the eves of the lookout are only sharp enough to catch it.—New York Tribune. Knew the Boundary Line. The friends of a couple in Cleveland, | in whose household no doubt exists as to who is the head of the family, tell an interesting story relative to the last trifling passage at arms between hus- band and wife. fore dinner the wife, who had been playing bridge all the afternoon, came In to find her husband and a strange man (afterward ascertained to be a lawyer) engaged in some mysterious business over the library table, upon which were spread several sheets of paper. | *“What are you doing with all that paper, Henry?” demanded t¢he wife. “l am making a wish,” meekly re- sponded the husband. “A wish?" “Yes, my dear. In your presence I shall vot presume to call it a will.”— Lippincott’s. Not a Hindrance. It was a revival meeting, and the church workers were working up and down the aisles. A gray haired woman past middle age approached a sedate looking gentleman who occupied a rear seat on the end of the row. Placing | her band on his shoulder with maternal touch, she said: “Don’t you think you would like to be a Christian?"” “My dear madam,” he began, “don’t you know that I am professor of theol- ogy in the little seminary at the other end of the town?" ‘I'he woman, a homely character, and ignorant ot the “isms” and “ologies” of the modern curriculum, gave answer | in smooth accents: “Well, my dear brother, don’t allow ! a little thing like that to stand in your way.”—’hiladelphia 'I'imes, Garrick and Kitty Clive. Kitty Clive, the paramount soubrette of Garrick's time, was celebrated for her temper and ber spiteful tongue. She denied “little Davy” had skill in tragedy and mocked at him when he prepared to put on “Hamlet.” During the performance she stood in the wings, intending to scoff, but she was carried away with enthusiasm in spite of herself and applauded vigorously. “Well, Kitty,” asked Garrick as he came off the stage, “have | convinced | you that I can act in tragedy?” One evening just be- ! KNOW THYSELF. We are apt to be very pert at cen- suring oihers where we will not en- dure advice ourselves. And noth- ing shows our weakness more than to be so sharp sighle:i at spying other men’s faults and so purblind about our own.— William Penn. Roads of the Olden Time. A curious illustration of the lack of any systematic authority over the roads in England. even as late as the fifteenth century, is preserved in the records of the manor of Aylesbury. A local miller, named Richard Boose, needed some ramming clay for the re pair of his mill. Accordingly—we learn from “Old Country Inns”—his servants dug a great pit in the middle of the road, ten feet wide and eight feet deep. and so left it to become filled with water from the winter rains. A glov- er from Leighton Buzzard, on his way home from market, fell in and was drowned. Charged with manslaugh- ter, the miller pleaded that he had no place wherein to get the kind of clay be required except on the highroad. He was acquitted. His Qualifications. ‘Writing to the leader of a string or- chestra, an aspirant for a position was requested to state his qualifications. Complying by mail, he said, among other things: Yours rec’d. I can play the fiddle and some on tromboan, .also zillvfoan. Have played floot at parties, but prefer pickleos. Respt., O. M. P. S.—Have taken twelve lessons o the gatar. Would be willing to teach my- self the cornit. Terms, union raits. Respt., . o.M —New York Press. A Double Barreled Grievance. “What is Smith’s grievance against the railway company?” “He has two grievances. One of them is that some of the trains don’t stop at his station and the other that after he gets in the trains they lose time by stopping at other stations!”— London Telegraph. i The Egg and the Shell. Eggshells are made chiefly of car- .| bonate of lime, and the yolk is half water, half oil and albumen, while the white of an egg, as it is called, con- I'sists of water chiefly with albumen and a little phosphorus and sulphur. The yolk always floats at the top of the white, so to be as near as possible to the hen when she sits upon it to batch it, while two cords attached to the yolk, one at each end, prevent it from actually touching the shell. Ignorance. A Scottish minister was asked to pray for rain. He did so, and the rain came down in floods and destroyed the crops, Irritated at the result, one dis- gusted elder confided to another that “this comes o' intristin’ sic a request to a meenister wha isna acquent w¥' agriculture.” Why They Are Cleaner. “Women's minds are much cleaner than men’s,” said a woman to her hus- band. “They ought to be,” replied her hus- band. “They change them so much oftener.”—Ladies’ Home Journal. Spiteful. “I wonder why Mabel looks in the glass so often.” “Maybe she has a grudge agulnst herself.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Manners must adorn knowledge and smooth its way through the world.— Chesterfield. Helping the Diagnosis. Doctor—My dear lady, you are in perfect health. I can’t find a thing the matter with you. Patient—I wish you'd try again, doctor. 1 do so want to go away to recuperate.—Century. Candor. Shopper—Can I hang this paper on myself? Salesman — Yes, sir, but it would really look better on the wall.— Harper's Bazar. Discretion of speech is more than eloquence.—'rancis Bacon. YOUR CRAY HAIRS QUIGKLY VANISH |A Harmless Remedy, Made From Garden Sage, Restores Color to Gray Hair, A feeling of sadness accompanies the discovery of the first gray hairs, which, unfortunately, are looked up- on as heralds of advancing age. Gray hairs; however., are not always anm indication of advancing age, for many people have gray hairs quite early in life. Of course it is unna- tural, and indicates that there 'is something wrong with the individ- ual, and that Nature needs assist- ance in correcting the trouble. The same is true of hair that is constant- ly falling out and becoming thinner every day. If everything is right with Nature, the hair, even in com- paratively elderly people, should be long, thick and glossy, without even |a streak of gray. The ideal assistant to Nature in restoring and preserving the hair is Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, a clean and wholesome dressing for daily use. It not only removes dandruff, but strengthens weak, thin and falling hair and pro- motes its growth. A few applica- tions will restore faded or gray hair to its natural color.
