RESTORE GRAY HAIR T0 NATURAL COLOR By Common Garden Sage, a Simple Remedy for Dandruff, Falling, Fad- ed, Gray Hair. The old idea of using sage for darkening the hair is again coming in, vogue. Our grandmothers used to have dark, glossy hair at the age of seventy-five, while our mothers have white hair before they are fifty. Our grandmothers used to make a “sage tea’” and apply it to their hair. The ‘tea made their hair soft and glossy, and gradually restored the natural color. One objection to using such a prep- aration was the trouble of making it, especially as it had to be made -every two or three days, on account of souring quickly. This objsction has been overcome, and by asking almost any first-class druggist for Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem- edy the public can get a superior preparation of sage, with the admix- ture of sulphur, another valuable remedy for hair and scalp troubles. Daily use of this preparation will not only quickly restore the color of the hair, but will also stop the hair from falling out and make it grow. Geat a bottle from your druggist to- day. Use it and see for yourself how quickly dandruff goes and gray hairs vanish. This preparation is offered to the public at fifty cents a bottle, and is recommended and sold by all drug- gists.

It Makes a Difference In Which Land One Travels This Distance. If you take a notion to settle down for a time and after you have been whisked out and back in a motorcar you think to ask how far the house is from the station the agent carelessly waves his hand and airily remarks, “About a mile,” you had best take heed ps to what country you are in at the time. If it is in England you are all right, for the familiar 1,760 yards is the standard, but if you have taken a fancy to some sod thatched Irish cottage it means a tramp of 2,240 yards, and if you are moved to linger in the highlands remember that the braw Scot calls 1,976 yards a mile. Considering the size of Switzerland, one might expect a mile to be about as far as one could throw a ball, but the hardy mountaineers think 9,153 yards the proper thing, even when, as it generally is, it is very much uphill. The Swiss is the longest mile of all, being followed by the Vienna post mile of 8,296 yards. The Flemish mile is 6,869 yards, the Prussian 8,237 yards, and in Denmark they walk 8,244 yards and call it a stroll of a mile. The Arabs generally ride good horses and call 2,143 yards a mile, while the Turks are satisfied with 1,826 yards, and the Italians shorten the distance of a mile to 1,766 yards, just six yards more than the American has in mind when the agent waves his hand and blandly remarks, “About a mile.”—Chicago Record Her- ald. ICEBERG GROUPINGS. Clusters and Long Lines Formed by Storms and Ocean Currents. Among the perils and wonders of the ocean there are few more interesting things than icebergs, interesting not only by reason of their gigantic size, their fantastic shapes, their exceeding beauty, but also for the manner where- in they array themselves. Icebergs exhibit a tendency to form both clusters and long lines, and these groupings may arise from the effects both of ocean currents and of storms. Some very singular lines of bergs, extending for many hundreds of miles east of Newfoundland, have been shown on official charts issued by the government. Two of these cross each other, each keeping on its independent course after the crossing. In several instances parallel lines of bergs leave long spaces of clear water between them. Curiously enough, while enormous fields of ice invade the so called “steamship lanes” of the Atlantic at the opening of spring during certain years, in other years at that season there is comparatively little ice to be seen. The ice comes, of course, from the edges of the arctic regions, from the icebound coasts of Greenland and Labrador, where huge bergs, broken from the front of the glaciers at the point where they reach the sea. start on their long journeys toward the south, driven by the great current that flows from Baffin bay into the northern Atlantic ocean. — Harper's Weekly. Why Stars Twinkle. The twinkling of the stars is chiefly an effect produced in the atmosphere upon the waves of light. It is due to currents and strata of air of different densities intermingling and floating past each other, through which the light passes to the eye. It is seen much more in cold than in warm weather and nearer the bhorizon more than overhead. The same effect may be seen by looking out of a window over a hot radiator or a candle held on the other side of a hot stove, so that you have to look through a body of highly heated air at the candle flame. The flame will be seen to waver and quiver. In other words, the various layers of air are at differ- ent densities and in motiou, hence the “twinkle.” —Exchange. The Grass Widow Defined. It is related of a Methodist bishop that when presiding over a district conference in North Carolina he had an attack of hay fever and in conse- quence was somewhat irascible and impatient. A young preacher who gave a rather poor accourt of his work was given a severe reprimand by the bish- op and asked to state the reason for his failure. “Well, bishop,” he explained. *“we had a lot of trouble the first year with a grass widow, and”— “A grass widow!" roared the bishop. “And what, pray, is a grass widow?" “A grass widow, bishop,” responded the young clergyman, “is a woman whose husband died of hay fever.’— St. Louis Republic. Perhaps. ) “Why,” said the young man who tries to be cynical, “are dogs and horses s0 much more faithful in their friend- ships for us than our fellow human beings?”" “Perhaps,” replied Miss Cayenne, “it's often due to the fact that we treat them with so much more kind- ness and consideration.”—Washington Star. A Good Third. “You admit that you are not first in her affections, yet you seem cheerful.” “Oh, 1 can't expect to compete with the pug dog and the rubber plant.”— ‘Washington Herald. Knows Just Enough. “What do you know about the stock market?" asked Poorly. “Just enough to keep out of it,” answered Richly.—Buffalo Express. Lumberman’s Slang. No other industry, perhaps, furnishes 80 many original. peculiar and inter- esting words and phrases of a. techni- cal-cum-slangy nature as the lumber industry of Canada. Timber tracts, says Canada, are divided into *limits" or “births.” The growing timber on a tract is a “stand” and the contents of a “stand” are measured in “feet”—a “foot” being a board one foot square by one inch thick and not a cubic foot. To make a survey of a stand of timber is to “cruise” it, the man who does the work is a “cruiser,” and his report thereon is a ‘“‘cruise.” Trees are “falled,” and the man who *“falls” them is a “sawyer.” A man who works in a lumber camp is known as a “lumberjack™ or ‘“shanty man.” When going up to camp he speaks of going “up to the shanties.” Timber tracts that have suffered from the ill “brooly,” which is, of course, a cor- ruption of “brule” (burnt). The Glowworm. The glowworm is not a worm, but a species of beetle, to which the com- mon firefly or lightning bug is closely related. The true glowworm is the female and is without wings. Its short legs and long body give it a vermiform appearance. and it can withdraw its triangular head Into its neck. The adult insect feeds but lit- tle. Indeed, there i1s reason to sup- pose that the adult male does not feed at all. The larva, on the other hand. 18 carnivorous and devours small mol- luscs, either dead or alive. The light given out by the glowworm comes from a yellowish substance located on the underside of the abdomen. Though this light appears to glow sisting of flashes in quick succession, about 100 to a minute. Besides the ordinary light rays, Rontgen rays are emitted. Spiders and the Stars. Spiders as an aid to astronomy are recognized to such an extent that cer- tain species are cultivated solely for the fine threads they weave. No sub- stitute for the spider’s thread has yet been found for bisecting the screw of the micrometer used for determining the positions and motions of the stars. Not only because of the remarkable fineness of the threads are they val- uable, but because of their durable qualities, The threads of certain spiders raised for astronomical pur- poses withstand changes in tempera- ture, so that often in measuring sun spots they are uninjured when the heat is so great that the lenses of the mi- crometer eyepieces are cracked. These spider lines are only one-fifth to one- seventh of a thousandth of an inch in diameter, compared with which t: threads of the silkworm are large and clumsy. s effects of forest fires are said to be! steadily, it is really intermittent, con- | THE BEMIDJT DAILY PIONEER The Name of London. The old name for the ¢ity of London was Lynden or Llynden. meaning “the city by the lake.” An old tradition gives us to understand that London was founded by Brute, a descendant of Aeneas, and that it was first called New Troy or Troynovant. In the time of Lud it was surrounded by a wall and was then known as Lud’s Town, or Caer-Lud. This latter is probably the correct version of the origin of the name of London if for no other rea- son because it is such an easy matter to detect a similarity between the ex-| pressions London and Lud's Town. It is claimed by some writers that there was a city on the present site of Lon- don in the year 1107 B. C., and it is known that the Romans founded a city there and called it Londinium in the year G1 A. D. The Benevolent Butler. A Calcutta correspondent reports “a truly horrible incident” which befell an English lady. Her butler was in the habit of calling loudly beneath her window every evening about 7. His cry suggested that he was calling ei- ther the cattle or the chickens home; but. though she had neither, the lady for some time took no mnotice until one evening, having the curiosity to look, she was horrified to see the but- ler, like a dusky pied piper, surround- ed by a troop of rats. There were quite fifty of them, from the big bandicotes to small muskrats, all being fed on the remains of her soup, meat and other bits. In a plague country this was an amusement that was speedily ended.—Times of India. An Odd Concrete House. A summer house of concrete in a| garden in one of the suburbs of Ha- vana is built in imitation of a log and straw hut. and it is said that the illu- sion remains even after a close exami- nation. To make the {llusion more complete in parts of the fictitious tim- ber trunks the artist has imitated the work of the teredo worms, and some of the pillars appear to be bored by them.
