The Way a New Style In Ladies
Hair Was Bom In France
TOUCHED A QUEENS VANITY
Mario Antoinettes Hairdresser Was
Confronted With a Serious Situation
but His Gascon Diplomacy Proved
Equal to the Occasion
At the end of the year 17S1 Leonard
hairdresser to Queen Marie Antoinette
vi ctiifrcitittd by an alarming situa
tion and with the fulfillment of this
dread event would fall his credit But
with his native Gascon quickness
as Leonard puts it in his Recollec
tions proceeded to save his repu
tation
Madame said he one day to the
queen when he saw that the fall of her
hair was imminent the high head
dress Is becoming very commun It is
long since the bourgeoisie has taken
possession of it and now it is the turn
of the common people
Good gracious Leonard what are
you telling me Do you know it
grieves me to hear it Those head
dresses were so becoming to me
And what headdress would not be
come your majesty I have carefully
thought over a total revolution in your
majestys headdress I have even had
your portrait drawn with the new ar
rangement 1 have in view and as I
expected my august sovereign by
adopting my innovation would be made
younger by six or seven years
Do you mean it Leonard The
headdress you have in mind would
make me look younger
I do not see what your majesty
could gain in that for many women of
the eourt would take on years to re
semble the queen of France v
Oh I do not deceive myself Leon
ard I shall soon be twenty seven
and at that age a style which makes
one look younger is always favorably
received
Well madame Leonard continued
quickly while placing a miniature be
fore her majestys eyes see this por
trait It Is a striking resemblance It
is your majesty but ten years young
er
What do I see the hair cut a few
inches from the head
Yes madame it will be if you are
pleased to consent to it a coiffure a
Ienfant and you will see It taken up
with as much enthusiasm as all those
that I have created for your majesty
You are right Leonard It is
charming In truth 1 am but eighteen
with my hair dressed like that But
to sacrifice my beautiful hair
Your majesty will have the satis
faction of seeing all the ladies of the
court all the ladles of France sacri
fice theirs
But if the style changes
Who would dare to adopt a new
one without your majestys having
first set the example If some ambi
tious hairdresser amid the myriad
of weaklings who swarm in Paris
should dare undertake such a change
I would have him reduced to atoms by
the Journal des Dames He would be
a ruined man
But I prize my hair very much
said the queen with an air of hesita
tion still looking at the portrait- Yet
I am dying to have my hair dressed a
ienfant
Well madame since I have been so
fortunate as to find a style which
pleases your majesty I must tell you
all For the last two weeks all my
waking hours have been devoted to the
service of my sovereign in the attempt
to make an agreeable thing of an Im
perative necessity
What do you mean Leonard
Your majesty was saying a little
while ago that she prized her hair and
I can easily understand It but unfor
tunately her hair does not prize her
Before fifteen days it will have entire
ly fallen out If this very day we do
not apply the Infallible remedy the
scissors
Whats that you say exclaimed
the queen with veritable fright
The least painful of truths madame
since what I propose to your majesty
while forestalling a great misfortune
Is entirely to her taste
Come Leonard no more delibera
tion Cut It but do not cut it too
short
Just enough madame to give back
to the roots of the hair the vigor it
was beginning to lose
The queens beautiful hair fell under
Leonards regenerating scissors and
two weeks afterward all the ladies of
the court had their hair dressed a Ien
fant
Let no one say there Is no diplomacy
outside the kings cabinet It is at the
oottom of all human combinations

A JOKE ON ANSON
It Reacted on the Playcs the Captain
Was Training
In an article on basebar training
camp Hugh S Iullerton in tho
American Magazine recounts the fol
lowing Joke played on Cap Anson
the leader of the famous old White
Stockings during a training season
some year ago
Anson was one of the most tirelesa
runners In the world and training
under him was a nightmare to his
players Anse would drive his men
for three hours in practice then lead
them in long runs placing himself at
the head of the procession and setting
a steady jogging pace If he felt well
the morning training was a Marathon
route I have seen players resort to
all kinds of tricks to avoid those kill
ing runs
One afternoon in New Orleans
years ago Anon ordered ten laps
around the field after practice which
on the old grounds was nearly ten
miles The afternoon was hot one
of those wilting southern spring days
that sap the life out of men fresh from
the rigors of a northern winter The
players fell Into line grumbling and
scowling Back of loft Geld a high
board fence separated the ball grounds
from one of the old cemeteries and
near the foul Hue a board was off tho
fence The first time the panting ath
letes passed the hole in the fence
Dahlcn gave a quick glance to see if
Anson was looking and dived head
first through the gap into the ceme
tery The others continued on around
the lot but on the second round Lange
Ryan Kittridge and Decker dived after
Dahlen and joined him in the ceme
tery The third trip saw the line dwin
dle to four followers with Anson still
leading The fourth found only Anson
and poor Bill Schriver who had the
bad luck to be directly behind his cap
tain plodding ou and on the next trip
Schriver made the leap for life
Majestically alone Anson toiled on
while the onlookers writhed with de
light Perhaps their behavior aroused
suspicion or the absence of following
footsteps attracted Caps attention
He stopped looked at the vacant field
a grim grin overspread his red face
and he resumed the jogging Straight
to that fence he plodded and sticking
his head through the hole he beheld
his team leaning against the above
ground tombs smoking and laughing
Just for that he marshaled them into
line again and sitting in the stand
watched them grimly until every man
had completed ten rounds
A Skylark For the Shelley Class
I have heard of a professor of Eng
lish in one of our universities who evi
dently felt that his department was
laboring under disadvantages Find
ing that his scientific colleagues were
getting appropriations of astonishing
liberality for Illustrative apparatus he
put in his annual report a request for
5000 for an aviary When the presi
dent asked him to explain he said
that it was impossible for him to
teach poetry properly unless he n had
an aviary connected with his class
room Then he said when the
class Is reading Shelleys Skylark I
reach my long handed net into the
cage catch a lark and hold it up to
them And when we are studying
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner my
assistant will be stationed in the gal
lery with a crossbow to shoot a real
live albatross on the platform thus
giving the students opportunities for
observation that doubtless Coleridge
himself never had Independent
The Orang Outang
It is a most interesting sight to
watch an orang outang make its way
through the jungle It walks slowly
along the larger branches in a semi
erect attitude this being apparently
caused by the length of its arms and
the shortness of its legs It invariabfy
selects those branches which intermin
gle with those of a neighboring tree
on approaching which it stretches out
its long arms and grasping the boughs
opposite seems first to shake them as
if to test their strength and then de
liberately swings itself across to the
next branch which it walks along as
before It does not jump or spring as
monkeys usually do and never ap
pears to hurry itself unless some real
danger is present Yet in spite of Its
apparently slow movements it gets
along far quicker than a person run
ning through the forest beneath
The Poppy Bee
The poppy bee is the artist of the
honey makers though she builds her
nest in a hole in the ground burrow
ing down about three inches At the
bottom she makes a large hole and
lines it gloriously with the scarlet pet
als of the red poppy She cuts and
Gts the gorgeous tapestry perfectly
then partly fills the cell with honey
lays an egg folds down the red blan
kets and covers the hole so that it
cannot be observed leaving the baby
bee to look after itself in its rosy nest
Thrilling
Sir John Benn recently related a
story of a boy who was asked what he
would like to be
The boy said A lighthouse keeper
The schoolmaster asked Why
The boy replied It would be so nice
to sit up at the top of the lighthouse
and see all the wrecks going to pieces
below Dundee Advertiser

HIS DEATH SCENE
A Stage Performance That Took Place

In an article on tianistornilug In the

place under curium ditUciilties
There had been nn - cream sociable
just prior to our arrival In the hall
and no one had cleaned the stage
Mac bad a uew pair of broadcloth
trousers and my scarlet tunic also
new When a shot was fired he was
to fall and before dying confess that
he had killed old Fitzgerald
The juvenile down front was not to
spak till Mac had fa lieu and con
tessed There he stood whllet Mac
staggered about the stage looking for
a clean place on which to fall Mixed
Ir with his lines he was making re
marks to us in the wings sotto voce
while we were convulsed with laugh
ter at his antics
I cannot die oh why didnt you
nave a grass mat I must not die 1
shall ruin my breeches 1 cant die
on this stage is atloat with Ice cream
I - must- not die
Here the juvenile put in some side
remarks of his own Oh hurry up
and die or Ill walk off
Go ahead retorted Mac and bring
me a sack I must not die Well if
l must nere goes Its ruin to your
tunic Perce and my breeches oh
oh He went down on one knee
then ou one elbow and finally lay full
length i The deed is done 1 confess

THE MUSKRAT
More People Trap This Little Animal
Than Anv Other
In America nearly 10000 people trap
the musquash or muskrat every year
More people trap this little animal
than any other It is claimed that the
greatest number of sklus are taken in
Minnesota and the Red river district
Most of the pelts are exported
The skins are very uniform in color
usually a dark brown However those
of Alaska and the Mackenzie district
are very light In color The black
pelts or those which are near so
come from the southern sections al
though occasionally a few are found In
other localities
The muskrat Is very prolific In
some latitudes says Fur News It has
three litters of young In a summer and
from three to five young in each litter
The animals are nocturnal iu their
habits but are often seen during the
day Musquash it is said thrive best
in sluggish streams lakes and marsh
es In appearance it is very much like
the beaver aud its habits are very
similar
The uiuskrats that inhabit the ponds
marches and shallow lakes build their
houses ot grass weeds etc aud plas
ter them together with mud The
bouse is built in the shape of a dome
and Is usually several feet above the
water The musquash that lives aloug
the streams usually has its borne in
the banks of them The entrance to
this den is ahnost always beneath the
water but as the burrows range up
ward the deus are never filled with
water except in times of freshets
Color Blindness
One thing is definitely shown by the
tests that have been made for color
blindness in various races no race
however primitive has been discov
ered in which red greeu blindness was
the universal or general condition and
this is a fact ot some interest In con
nection with the physiology of color
vision for it seems probable that red
green bliudness since it is not by any
means a diseased condition represents
a reversiou to a more primitive state
ot the color sense If this is so no race
of men remains in the primitive stages
ot the evolution of the color sense The
development of a color sense substan
tially to the condition in which we
have It was probably a prehuman
achievement Professor R S Wood
worth in Science
A Gamblers Philosophy
Tbeies no use in trying to buck
against bad luck said the success
ful gambler as be put down his glass
ot vichy and milk If you see luck Is
going against you drop out If the
tickle goddess of fortune is with you
woo her tor all you are worth Thats
the whole secret of the game Ive
been gambling all my life and I rare
ly lose Why Because I never take
a chance against bad luck Luck is
bound to be either with you or against
you You win or you lose The
chances of breaking even are mighty
slim So I never buck bad luck
