BACK TO THE SOIL
Lura of Nature to till Country Prod
Toiling In l.io Citio*.
Life In the **ity Is coming more am)
more to seem an tiniintiiriil exile, par
ticularlv to the country liretl, at whose
heartstrings boyish memories of fann
i and orchard, of wood nnd stream, tug
appealingly, making pictures to tjie in
j her eye as of lost paradises as they sit
j imprisoned in their palaces, slaves to
| the telephone and the ticker.
I More and more su< h men are plan
j ning to escape, vowing to themselves
| that they whl u\st satisfied with the
modest compciein e rather than the big
j fortune, so that they can pull out while
| they stiil have some youth left uud lie
| iio.vs again in the old countryside, lis'i
the oid streams and go coon hunting
in the old worsts. I know many men
with that ambition.
For a man who lias been exiled in
the city for a number of years, having
during that tin::* had no more Intimate
acquaintance with nature than is to lie
snatched iu his annual holiday at
some fashionable beach or some luxuri
ous hotel iu the mountains—for such a
one to watch the coining of spring, day
after day, in a stretch of old woodland
is to come us near to the recapture of
youth as is possible in a world whose
one irremediable sorrow Is the ines
capable doom of growing old.—Richard
Le (ialllenne in Harper's Magazine.
FIRE ESCAPES FOR SCHOOLS.
These Serve ae a Play 8cheme as Well
ae a Protaction.
Some of the California schools are
equipped with novel fire escapes, which
are not only a safeguard, but afford
the children as much amusement as a
regular playground equipment One of
these Are escapes in Tropico, near Los
Angeles, consists of several long sheet
metal chutes, re-enforced with angle
Iron and secured to the walla of the
building. They extend from an iron
pint form on the second floor, which
leads from the main corridor. Sepa
rate chutes are provided for the boys
and, girls.
The teachers encourage me use or
tbe slides as an amusement to accus
tom tbe chlldreu to them. Each plide
ends In a slight upward curve to check
the momentum of the descent. At the
point where the children reach the
ground a pile of loose sand breaks the
fall.
In Venice, Cal., a spiral chute is em
ployed, whh b Is Inclosed In a cylin
drical metal casing. This Is entered
from a platform leading from the up
per story. Like the straight slide, it la
used as an amusement device by the
pupils. A local hospital makes use of
one of the same design.
Futility of "No Trespass" Signs.
In the American Magazine l>avld
Grayson comments as follows on a
farmer who covered his luml with “No
Trespass" signs:
“I did not need to enter his fields,
nor climb bis bill, nor walk by bis
brook. But as tbe springs passed and
tbe autumns whitened Into winter I
j came into more and more complete
j possession of all those fields that he
j so jealously posted. I looked with
j strange joy upon ills hill, saw April
| blossom in his orchard and May color
the wild grape leaves along his walls.
June I smelled in the sweet vernal of
his hay fields, and from the October of
his maples and beeches I gathered rl« h
crops—and put up no hostile signs of
ownership, paid no taxes, worried over
no mortgage and often marveled that
he should he so poor within his posted
domain and I so rich without”
Combs and the Hair.
The best comb for the hair Is the
hard rubber coarse comb with smootlt,
rounded edges that will not cut the
hair. A fine comb has mauy disadvan
tages; therefore the ail coarse comb is
to he preferred. A metal tooth comb
tends to pull out good hair and is liable
to wound and scratch the scalp. Never
nse a comb the teeth of which are
broken. One should never try to save
money at the expense of a good comb.
The comb should be washed frequently
In water In which ammonia has been
added. Scrub out tbe teeth with a nail
brush and soap. A sun bath la also
good for tbe comb.

Enlisting a Golfer’s Aid.
“I hung a few rugs on the line yes

“Then 1 g"t my husband’s mldln>n

them.”—Detroit Free Press.
