SAGE TEA DARKENS
. Hi TO ANY SHADE
Deo't stay gray I Here's a simple
recipe that anybody can apply
with a hair brush.
The use of Sage and Sulphur for re
storing faded, gray hair to Its natural
color dates, back to grandmother's time.
Bhe used It to keep her hair beautifully
dartc, glossy and abundant. Whenever
her! hair fell out or took on that dull,
faded or streaked, appearance, this sim
ple mixture was applied with wonderful
ffect-
But brewing at home is muasy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store .for a CO cent bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy' you will get this famous old rcclpa
which can be depended upon to restore
natural color and beauty to the l.alr and
Is splendid for dandruff, dry, feverish,
Uctty scalp and falling hair,
A' well known down town druggist says
It darkens the .hair so naturally and
jvenly that nobody can tell it has been
ippUed. You simply dampen a sponge
or soft brush with It and draw this
through your hair, taking one strand at
s time. By morning the gray hair dis
appear?., and after another application or
two, It becomes beautifully dark, glossy
eoft and abundant.
which musti
peefs to this Important part of our world
as will awaken In each mind a truer ideal
of brotherly love and human sympathy,
and which will try to do away with the
petty and quarrelsome and unworthy
spirit which mars the ranks of labor to
day, and which. Interferes wth the happi
ness and comfort of tens of thousands of
human beings.
Unless the working men .and women are
showing one another courtesy, good.wUt,
and maklnir an effort to do as they' would
be done by; 'of what'use la. their religion?
The fear of doing some duty which be
longs to another, and the great desire to
show a spirit of Independence, rather than
a spirit .of helpfulness toward fellow
workers. Is everywhere prevalent today.
The greater their privileges, given by the
employers, the lees kindliness do they
seem to feel toward one anothar. Even In
the homes where but two maids are kept,
one a working housekeeper and cook, the
other waitress and chambermaid, discord
often prevails, because the .one is ex
acting or the other inconsiderate. And'
just In proportion as the staff increases
in numbers, so does the discord increase,
because of ths fear of being' imposed
upon or being asked to do some duty by
a fellow totter.
A man servant who has been, perhaps,
years In ' some home wllf find a new
pomer haughty and Impertinent, when
trying to portion out his duties, - because!
the newcomer Is filled with the modern
idea of being "as good as the next", and'
imagine the head man Is putting o.n airs:
.Often trie head man is the offender. In
.every department of labor this unfortu
nate feeling is found, , spoiling conditions
even where the employers have tried to
make them Ideal.
It is all the result of lack of real re
ligious principles. Clergymen and priests
have failed to present a religion of hu
man brotherhood to this great and (nu
Portant part of our republto the labor.
lng people a religion which necessitates
the dally and hourly practise of the' com
mon virtues of kindliness, courtesy and
good will toward one another.
All religions are represented) among the
working people of America,- Protestants,
Roman Catholics, Lutherans, members of
the Greek church, 'the Jewish tabernacle,
are all to be found among our dally toll
ers. In domestic service, in the 'shops and
factories and hotels.
This article Is an appeal to' men who
stand at the head of all those religious
organizations to try to make the- religion
of their fellow workers more practical
and more useful In the world..
Much Is said about .the 'duty of em.
ployers to their helpers, and the duties
of labor to capital, but one of the most
needed reforms In the world today "is to,
bring the religion of kindness Into the re
lation of worker with worker; between
first and second overseer; between butler
and valet; between cook and second girl,
and so on through all the various depart
ments of labor.
It is doubtful If In any home In the
land a mistress or master of a household
can be foUnd who Is so Inconsiderate, so
thoughtless, bo selfish, so anxious to be
thought "better" and so afraid of doing
one act not Included in the contract, as
are a large number of the maids and men
who work in hotels, boarding houses or
that this colossal beast was a near relation of Diplodocus
Carnegll. Now, Diplodocus was Just eighty-four feet long,
and stood eleven feet high at tho shoulder. His' arm-bone
measured Just three feel three inches long. Tho arm-bone
of the new giant, Glgantosaurus Afrlcanus, was. as long as
the whtjlo leg of Diplodoous; it measures now just seven
feet one in$h, but during lffe it was certainly some Inches
longer, for no allowance has been made for the gristle
have.capped both ends. It may be
tosaurus wIUJobo something of hit glory, at any rato as far
as his-length la concerned, for it is assumed that ho was a
long-tailed 'dragon, like his American cousin. He may not
have. been. In height DlpIodocuB was nowhero; his eleven
private homes, 'shops or factories. In their
relations with one another.
Capital cannot misuse or maltreat labor
as labor-la mistreating labor every hour
of the day, In every village, city and
country place In America. Since It has
become the custom to specialise work,
and .with the Increase of wages and the
decrease of working hours, the spirit of
intolerance between working people In
Various department seems to grow with
astonishing, rapidity,
Labpr union and the progressive, spirit
of the day have awakened the mind of
the general publio to the rights and the
privileges of labor. And labor Itself has
grownto realize Its. necessity to glye: good
work and good will In return for' its
shorter hours and larger wages.
But It, has. utterly failed to grasp tho
meaning of brotherhood In its hourly re
lattoris"bhe wlt,h another.
It ought to) be the effort of every re
ligious teacher in America to awaken tho
hearts of the working ptopla to a. better
understanding of this practical phase of !
spirituality. It you are a laboring man
or woman, stoR and ask yourself, are you
treating ypUr fellow workers, whether In
factories, shops, hotels or homes. Just asl
you would like to be treated t Are you
treating them as well as you treat your
employers?
And do you not know of Innumerable
cases where labor Is misusing labor, If
not in acts, then In aoltlah and Jealous
and envious thoughts and words?
The true religion lies In being kind.

A Talk to the
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
What shall a girl say when she re
ceives' an engagement ring? '
Well- now, what do you think of a Ques
tion like that?
Who gave you the ring, little slater,
and what did you think' when he gave It
to you? Do you love him, were you so
happy you could scarcely breathe?
Well. then, whv didn't you say so.'and

Is this proper. Is that right?

comes to things like this.

about what Is "the proper thing" and
"what Isn't done'' and who .ought to
speak first and who must never, never
say a word though the whole world bo
hanging' In the balance?
Etlquetter-what etiquette is there about
being engaged?
What do .you, think you'll do when you
come to die ask some one to read an
etiquette book to tell you how to shut
your eyes and bid farewell to this vain
world?
yh,en they put your first baby in your
arms, how In the world will you know
how to act unless sqme Mrs. Grundy Is
there to tell you?
What! Shocking! Oh, yes, of course,
babies are dreadfully shocking, aren't
they, and so Is life and id fs death and
feet at the shoulder is far eclipsed by the twenty-two feet
of hlB rival. Naturally, it is difficult, not to say dangerous,
to dogmatize (oa tho theme of tho habits of Gigantosarus.
Ho lived during that romoto period of the world's history
during which the lower cretaceous rocks werq formed; a
period which antedated tho birth of man by several million
years. Wo shall, probably bo iyt far from tho truth in re
garding him as an aquatic, or, at any rato, an amphibious
creature. That ho was a vegotarlan Is shown by his teeth,
and that he was dull-witted Is proved by tho ridiculously
small size of the brain-cavity, less than would hold a man's
fist. A man is placed in tho drawing (undor Gigantosarus
Afrlcanus) merely for tho comparison of size.

A fish is a small, moist, unpleasant-looking body, which is equally at
homo in tho wator and cold storage It is also tho father of lies, and full
of ptomalno poisoning and temptation to toll torrodlddlcs.
Fish aro found In alt partB of tho world, but tboir favorite habitat is
a cold nd clammy pl&to, where they aro discovered surrounded, by a whito
Bauco that tastes like bill-stickers' pasto. Fow people havo the hardihood
to remove them from this environment, though occasionally you may ob
serve an intrepid and foolhardy adventurer attempting tho feat at a 60-cent
tablo d'hoto dinner
In appearance the fish is somewhat unprepossessing, being lacking in
profile and having a mouth that resembles that of a socialist orator. But
it has a lovely, sinuous, straight front figure that atones for its facial de
fects. It is nlso possessed of a high moral character, being calm and col
lected, and little given to temperamental impulses.
Tho habits of tho fish are most exemplary. The males of the species
are always on the water wagon, whilo
bo averso to race suicide that they fill the heart of Colonel Roosevelt with
approval and delight.
The chlof characteristic of fish appears to bo their sonso of humor.
They aro the great practical Jokers of tho animal world, and they llko noth
ing better than a day's sport with a man with a $250 outfit, whom they
will josh into sitting for hours at a stretch in a humped position that gives
him the cramps, or else thoy will string film along forj miles through a
shallow stream without giving him anything to show for his trouble but
cold in his head.
Thero aro a great many different kinds ot fish. The most common
variety is the Ono-I-Caught-But-Could-Not-Lan'd. 'This; species,, is ex
tremely large, about tho size of a sperm whale, it is also exceedingly
game, and is only caught after the most brilliant maneuvcring,obuthe part
of tho fisherman. Tho chief peculiarity, though, ,s' Its shyness, or is
obBorvablo, that this paragon of the finny tribe is never "hooked axcepfc when
a man Is flBhtng alone.
Tho next mdst familiar variety is tho fish that a man actually1' does
catch. This variety is a small, Insignificant, measly creature thai, his wlto
doesn't think worth while cooking. It is extromely expensive, a llttlo
hand-caught fish not three inchos long
Among other well known varieties of flsh are the sucker, which
abounds In Wall street waters; tho goggle-eyed porch, who infests the
sightsoelng automobiles and rubbers up at the tall-buildings; the lobster,
which flirts around tho bars of tho Great Whito Way, and the clams, whlcfc
ore plentiful along Fifth avenue.
Women, who aro great fishers of men, and frequently" laake big
catches, find that the most effective bait to use .1 & Combination of geod
looks and flattery. Almost any kind of a ho fish, especially an old one,
will lise to that bait.
How fishing comes to be classed among sports Instead ef among cruel
and unusual and Inhuman punishments Is a mystery no one has ever at
tempted to solve. It must simply be set down as one ot the vagaries ot
human nature that a man will leave a nice, cool, clean, comfortable offle
and spend from $10 to $100 to sit on the end ot a broiling pier, holding
a dinky llttla pole with a silly little, llnp attached, ;f laklag f or a flak that
hasn't bee In ihat vicinity far tea years; aai then he "wllf rtii'ra Jibase with . ,
a' blistered neck, every muscle in him
bad. , ;
As has been said, fish are found In all parts of the .world, Uut the
finest varieties aro to be discovered at your butcher's. Also, 'you will find
that that is the cheapest placo at which to fish.

reader from his youth, he added Im
mensely to hla stores of Information while
at college. His tour of Europe gave him
the wider view of men tht Is so essen
tial to the Impartial historian: and his
study of the law gave to hla mind the
calm, judicial poise which was to aid
him so greatly In forming his estimates
of men and events. It was because of
this thorough preparedness, assisted by
certain natural endowments, that Park

to Justify hla fellow historian, John

of the most picturesque historians sirice
Herodotus, and an investigator ot the
highest order for thoroughnesa and ac

a sound political philosophy, moreover,
is felt n all his works."
Park man's works are among the moat
delightful productions of the human mind.
They are real histories, that are to be
