nothing more than duty on my part
and, under this feeling, I could not
possibly refuse, though the want of
money made it almost impossible to
comply with tins very reasonable and
modest demand upon my purse. My
salary was good, and, in years agone,
had furnished my little family with all
the ncccssaries and many OF the luxu-
ries of life. ] was, in the general ac-
ceptation of the term, temperate mau;
my morning call, MONDAY lunch, and

fifteen cents each, while my fragrant
Havana drew upon my purse for only
ten cents after breakfast, dinner and
supper. These were small outlays, and

aud, under the peculiar circumstances
surrounding me, l made Il firm resolve
to act upon it for the next twelve
months. [ could remember very well
that it was considered, in my younger
days, rather 1isgraceful for boys to be

drinking whisky; consequently, these
little habits must contribute their mites

Why Are There SO Many Bald-lIeaded
Men.

Why so many bald-headed men, and
so few bald women? Why is it that
they shine like billiard balls? Why
this spectacle of bald-headed BARRIERS
rubbing the dry tops Of bald-headed
men, recommending invigorators war
ranted to produce bushy locks in less
than fortnight, while bald-headed
spectators and middle-aged men with
wigs look on with derisive smiles !;
though all the while their wives and
daughters throng our streets covered
with crowns of beauty, and charming
actresses toss their blonde tresses in
luxurious profusion on the stages OF
our theaters? Our male population
will 10 doubt take a serene satisfaction
in saying that it is because men have
more to worry them than women, and
have the trouble of contrIving how to
support their wives and daughters.
Probably, however, Eiat is not the rea-
son. Women, Of course, have finer and
longer hair than mon, but men destroy
their heads under their hats, and thus
heat the tops of their craniums until
the hair dies out for want of air. Men
should either take off their hats 0ftener
or ventilate them better.

The Temperance Crusade.

1t is curious to notice the different
forms which the temperance movement
assumes in different localities. In Ohio
the street-marches and saloon prayer
meetings are the order of the day, and
no other method of closing dramshops
is now regarded as orthodox. In In
diana the efforts of the women are hap
PLY directed to the enforcement of the
hitherto ineffective Baxter law. In
Massachusetts efforts are made to IN
duce property holders to pledge them
selves not to allow liquor to be sold by
their tenants. The Rhode Island wo-
men wait upon the Legislature to petit
ton for the repeal of the Liquor-Li-
cense law. 1t is recorded that i'll Wilkes
barre, Pa, the crusade has the sim
gular result Of driving two hundred
disreputablo women away from the city.
The Washington people are asking for
Congressional prohibition. In New
York and Brooklyn no aggressive policy
has been definitely agreed upon, but a
good work is accomplished by the fire.
quent meetings, which call public at
tention to the magnitude of the evil of
drunkenness ana the warning voice Of
the pulpit is raised Sunday after Sun
day with wholesome effect. Whatever
the method, and whatever may be the
exceptional excuses and indiscretions
of the reformers, they all have in view
a noble object, and we cannot withhold
a wish for their success, in 50 far as it
may promote human happiness with

A Story of Lord Derby.

story of the present Lord Derby, now
second officer in the English Cabinet.
In 1917, two beardless young men made
their appearance in Marshall, Texas.

ton to Governor Henderson, who had
formerly been Minister to France from
the Texas Republic: Their object in
seeking the Governor was to obtain Il
loan of $4,000 to carry them to New
York. They had spent $500, 900 since
leaving that city, and announced them
selves as "dead broke" "Who are
you?" said the Governor, "and what
evidence can you bring to prove that
you are what you profess to be?" Il

said the spokesman, "and 10y courtesy

not be betrayed?' said the cautious
Governor. Simply, Governor" re-
piled the representative of him who
fought at Floddcnfeld, "that am
Stanley. A Stanley cannot and dare
not be dishonorable. There was
something noble in the speech, and the
government that owns such youth can
scarcely fear corruption. The money
was loaned, and i'll due time returned

An exchange, in reply to the ques-
ton, "What is meant by the expression

The power of prime movers is meas

unit of power for the steam engine.

pounds per foot is II fair minutes aver

require five or six men to DO the work

The Precious Metals.

One ton (2,000 pounds avoirdupois)
of gold or silver contains 20, 1913 troy
ounces, and, therefore, the value of a
ton of pure gold is 1902, 100. 81, and of
a ton of silver, $37, 70l. 81. A cubic
foot OF pure gold weighs 1,2lS.75 pounds
avoirdupois. A cubic foot of pure sill
yer weighs 656,25 pounds ditto. One
million dollars gold coin weighs 3,65S. s
pounds avoirdupois one million dollars
silver coin weighs 5S,925.9 pounds
avoirdupois. If there is one per cent.
of gold or silver i'll one ton of ore, it
contains 29l, G3 ounces troy, of either of
these metals. The average fineness of
the Colorado gold is Isl in l 200, and
the natural alloy, gold ISL, silver 300,
copper 10; total, 1000. The calcula-
tions at the mint are made on the basis
that 43 ounces of standard gold, or 900
fine (coim, is worth $500, and II ounces
OF silver, 800 fine (coin), is worth So. 50.
