Bemidji, 8 | irritating.” ' - When Liszt Met Diriks. A Paris contemporary relates an in- teresting story of Liszt. The great planist was living in a little German town when Diriks, the Norwegian painter, went to reside at the same place, thinking he would be able to work there without interruptions. He had been installed in his new quar- ters only one day when he made the pianist’s acquaintance. The painter had been trying his art for about two hours, and then he gave up in despair. He went outside, and at the same time Liszt came out for a breath of fresh air. The painter addressed the pianist, and this dialogue ensued: “Are you the pianist, monsieur, whom I have heard all day?” “Yes, monsieur.” “It is very “Alas, monsieur, you do not love music?” “I detest it.” *“Itis very regrettable, but 1 must practice.” “But you disturb me in my work. Moreover, you play atrociously.” *“Ah, you think so? It is the first time any one has ever told me so.” “Judging from your age, there have been many opportunities,” was the painter's an- swer. Then there was silence for a moment. Liszt, going indoors, content- ed himself with the observation, “My name is Liszat.” Nature’s Parachutes. Careful examination has been made of the heads of Canada thistledowns in order to determine their effective- ness as parachutes carrying the seeds of the plant to great distances through the air. The results of this exami- nation are quite remarkable. Calcula- tion shows that a thistledown starting from an elevation of twenty feet in still air would require two-thirds of a minute to reach the ground. With a wind blowing twenty miles an hour it would be carried on the average about a fifth of a mile. The total sur- face exposed to the air in an average thistledown is, on account of the great number of hairlets, a little more than one-third of a square foot. Another well known and very beautiful exam- ple of nature’s parachutes is furnished by the light silken threads with the aid of which the little gossamer spider makes long aerial voyages.—Scientific American. Making Love by Telephone. Wooing is a slightly more compli- cated matter in Sardinia than it is here. The marriage customs are very curious. If a father has a marriage- able daughter the would be suitor ap- plies to him for permission to see her as she goes to church, or in the event of her not wishing to be seen he com- municates with her by means of a spe- cies of telephone which has been in use since time immemorial. It is a long string with a wooden knob at each end. The father’'s permission having been givex, the lady drops one knob out of the window and, the shut- ters being closed. places the other knob to the ear, while down below her ‘would be lover pours his protestations into the knob she has thrown into the street. Sometimes this curious form of courtship continues for two or three years, the man never seeing the face of his inamorata. Longfellow’s Incomplete Library. I remember there was one little boy of whom Longfellow was very fond and who came often to see him. One day the child looked earnestly at the long rows of books in the library and at length said, “Have you got ‘Jack the Giant Killer? ™ Longfellow was obliged to confess that his library did not contain that venerated volume. The little boy look- ed very sorry and presently slipped down from his knee and went away, but early next morning Longfellow saw him coming up the walk with something tightly clasped in his little fists. The child had brought him 2 cents with which he was to buy a “Jack the Giant Killer,” to be his own. 1—Annie Field, “Authors and Friends.” Insect Tones. An investigator given to the collec- tion of curious data has observed that there are at least three different tones emitted by insects—a low one during flight, a higher one when the wings are beld in such manner that they do not vibrate and a yet higher tone when the insect is held so that none of its limbs can be moved. This last, it {is pointed out, is the “voice proper” of the insect. In some cases it is pro- duced by the stigmata of the thorax, Thoughtful Painter. “] see you are paying the hospital jexpenses of that painter who fell off i the roof.” “Yes. As he went down he touched up two or three places which would have been very hard to reach.”—Louisville Cou- rier-Journal. Where It Hurts. “I tell you,” said Sinnick, “men are getting so deceitful these days that you can't trust your best friends.” “And, what’s worse,” interrupted Borroughs gloomily, “you can’t get your best friends to trust you.”—Cath- olic Standard and Times. | He who is firm and resolute in will molds the world to himself.—Goethe.

This ' When Big Guns Crash. The eflects of two ten-inch turret guns fired simultaneously on board a 'war vessel-are rather astonishing, A correspondent on board the vessel says: “For several moments I won- dered what hit me and where 1 was hit. The glass that protects the helms- man from the weather and the win- dows of the charthouse. the glass of which is one-third of an inch thick, were smashed to atoms. An ink bottle that stood on the table in the chart- house jumped about six inches, and every drop of ink sprang out, but the bottle dropped back to the spot from which it jumped. Three water bottles and three tumblers were on the table in the smoking room, all being full of water. When the guns were fired the bottles and the tumblers jumped into the air. Three gentlemen who were in the room also left their seats. The bottles ‘and-‘tumblers’ fell .back into their old places, but every drop of wa- ter had been spilled upon the table, though nothing had been broken.” This suggests a rather unpleasant out- look for the sailors in case of a bat- tle.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The Eternal Feminine. - From the fresco paintings of women in the Cretan palaces of the period about 2000 B. C. it is learned that the women of that time pinched in their waists, bad flounced or accordion skirts, wore an elaborate coiffure on their heads. shoes with high heels and bats which might have come from a Parisian hat shop. while one woman might be described as wearing a jupe culotte. YOUR CRAY HAIRS QUICKLY 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 an 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 eyen 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- Suffered Ten Years—Relieved in Three Months Thanks to PE-RU-NA. C. B.
