EVANSVILLE, Cal, Nov. 3, 1873.
Chas. Langley & Co., San Francisco-Dear
Sirs: take great pleasure in informing you
of the most gratifying results Of the use of
Caroline in my own case. For three years
the top of my head has been completely bald
aud smooth. and had quite given up any
hope of restoring the hair. Four weeks ago
l noticed the advertisement of Casboline. and
on the recommendation of friend, con-
cluded to try bottle, without any great hope
of good results, however. / have now used it
less than month, and to my agreeable
establishment, my head is completely covered
with fine, short. healthy growth of hair,
which has every appearance Of continued
growth and / confidently believe it will re-
store it as completely SIS ever it was in my
youth.
1 take great pleasure in offering you this
testimonial, and you have my permission to
publish the same. Yours truly,
CHAs E. WHITE, Davisville, Cal.

We next passed Delft, town nicely
located in the midst of trees and gardens,
but extremely quiet and almost deserted.
In former times it was a lively place and
had double the population it has now. Ar
irving at the Hague we stopped at hotel
on the Voorhut Platz, large square IN the
center of the city. The Hague has several
beautiful squares, wide streets planted with
rows of lime trees, and is on the whole
fne-looking city. Many of the streets are
paved with bricks or colored stones.

Into the imaginary seething waters and
caught him by the hair. It was hard
struggle, for the drowning man was heavy
and resisted his rescuer. The Captain felt
himself grabbed by the throat and received
several blows. He used all his strength,
but at last he felt himself getting weaker
and saw that his last hour had come. A
few more desperate struggles and all was
over. The next morning the Captain
awoke with dull headache and felt sore
all over. Looking in the mirror he was as
tonished to find himself with black eye
and several bruises which he could not &C.
count for. Anxious to find out what had
happened-for he had no recollection of
the contest of the previous day-he went
in search of his host and found him in a
moody humor, his head bandaged and mi
nus a tuft of hair on one eide of his face.
Then all at once he remembered having
tasted genuine schiedam the night before,
and he swore never again to listen to a
story while taking Holland gin.

Mems Brains,

The human brain is absolutely big
ger and heavier than that of any animal
except the elephant and the larger
whales but in no other animal is there
so great variation in brain weights Of
different individuals as in man, and it
is perhaps curious fact that the higher
the civilization the wider the variation.
That is to say, the brain weight in
savage races is more nearly uniform
than in enlightened nations. While in
a general way the average weight of
the brain is greater in civilized races,it
does not at all follow that the size Of
the brain is an indication of the degree
of intelligence. The average weight
of the adult European male brain is
forty-nine to fifty ounces. That of the
female is forty-four to forty-five
ounces, the difference being fully ten
per cent. Statistics for America very
nearly coincide with this result. There
are examples of men of remarkable in
tellectual attainmentS whose brains
have largely exceeded the average, as
Curvier, siXty-four and half ounces.
and DR.. Abercrowbie, sixty-three
ounces. Daniel Webster also had a
very large brain. That of Agassiz
weighed fifty-three and half ounces,
not very much above the average On
the other hand, high brain weights
have also been found where there was
no evidence of superior intellectual ca
pacity. In an English insane asylum
nearly ten per cent. of the cases ex-
amined showed brain weight of over
fifty-five ounces. An excessively small
brain indicates feeble intellect, and an
abnormally large one may indicate the
the same. Between the extremes
there is wide range, in which it is
evident that intellectual power is more
dependent on quality than quantity of
brain matter. But it is estimated BY
several competent authorities that in an
adult male of anything approaching
average size, brain less than thirty-
seven ounces is usually associated with
imbecility. In other words. brain Of
less than that weight will not confer
the reasoning faculty in the civilized
Caucasian, though in uncivilized man
rude intelligence may spring from
brain of thirty ounces.-St. Louis Re.

A COrean Metropolis.

Describing Wonsan, leading city
Of Corea, a British officer says: One
main street, of some ten or twelve feet
in width, winds through it from end to
end, and into this opens numerous
narrow and crooked alleys. The Cor
cans dislike our entering these lanes !;
no doubt, because in passing along
them one is apt to surprise their woman
whose delicacy is shocked by the near
approach of a foreigner. In only two
or three shops were there any Euro
pean goods exposed for sale. Road
making at Wonsan consists in filling
up the hollows with soft earth, and
there seem to be no arrangements
whatever for cleaning the streets.
There are numerous pig-styes in front
of the houses in the main street, and
the passenger is constantly in danger
of stumbling over their occupants.
Almost the only pleasant thing to look
at is the luxuriant growth of melon
and pumpkin with gray fruit and white
orange blossoms, showing amid mass
of green leaves, which cover many of
the houses. The clothing and per-
sonal appearance of the inhabitants
contrast favorably with the aspects
of the towns. Nearly every one is de-
Gently dressed, and a really well-dressed
Corean, in his broad hat and white
robes, has an eminently respectable,
well-to-do appearance. The Japanese
settlement of Wonsan is on the western
side of the bay, opposite to the island
of Changdodo, and about a mile from
the western end of the native town of
! WOnsan. The settlement is infested
with Corean thieves, who rob the god
owns of the Japenese by picking the
locks or removing the foundation
stones, and the markets at Wonsan are
also said to swarm with them. Tigers
abound in the neighboring mountains,
and last year two Coreans were carried
off by these animals from the immed
late neighborhood of the settlement.

and shadow seem to struggle in the
peculiar color of the stone of which
the houses are constructed, and their
squareness gives an idea of strength
and solidity impossible to describe.
Strange to an American are the ter
raced roofs and the absence of Chin
neys, that in our own land play so
prominent part in marring the land
scape. There are no trees along the
streets except on the Paseo, and the
want of them is scarcely felt, for you
imagine somehow that they would be
out of place beside the massive monu-
ments that fasten the attention on all
sides.

Success i'm Life.

Without unremitting labor, success
in life, whatever our occupation, is
impossible. A fortune is not made
without toll, and money unearned
comes to few. The habitual loiterer
never brings anything to pass. The
young men whom you see lounging
about waiting for the weather to
change before they go to work, break
down before they begin--get stuck be-
fore they start. Ability and willing
ness to labor are the two great condi-
tions of success. 1t is useless to work
an electrical machine in vacuum,
but the air may be full of electricity,
and still you can draw no spark until
you turn the machine. The beautiful
statue may exist in the artists brain,
and it may also be said in a certain
sense to exist in the marble block that
stands before him, but he must bring
both his brains and his hands to bear
upon the marble, and work hard and
long, in order to produce any practical
result. Success also depends in good
measure upon the mans promptness to
take advantage of the rise of the tide.
A great deal of what we call "luck" is
nothing more nor less than this: 1t is
the man who keeps his eyes open, and
his hands out of his pockets, that sue
ceeds. 81 missed my chance" exclaims
the disappointed man, when he sees
another catch eagerly at the opportu
nifty. But something more than alert
ness is needed; we must know how to
avail ourselves of the emergency. An
elastic temperament, which never
seems to recognize the fact of defeat
or forgets it at once and begins the
work over again, is very likely to en-
sure success. Many great orator has
made a terrible breakdown in his
maiden speech. Many merchant
loses one fortune only to build up an
other and larger one. Many an in
ventor fails in his first efforts, and i.
at last rewarded with splendid
triumph. Some of the most popular
novelists wrote very poor stuff in thu
beginning. They were learning thei
trade, and could not expect to turn ou
first-class work until their apprentice
ship is over. One great secret of sue
cess is not to become discouraged, bn
always be ready to try again.

Sixty Years of Service.

A little old man wearing the postal
uniform may be seen daily at the rail-
road station in Louisville, KY, busily
sorting the mail. His name is Charles
C. Green, and he has been in the postal
service since 1924. His interest and
share in the distribution of the mail
began, however, in 1915, when he
helped to deliver to his fathers neigh
bors printed slips announcing the bat
tie of New Orleans. 1--WE have all
heard" he said the other day to a re-
porter, "that battle had been fought
but had no particulars. On a certain
bright, clear morning, when the snow
covered the ground as far as the eye
could reach, we awaited the coming of
the mail carrier with his pack-horse.
Before he came in sight the stiffness of
the air was broken by cries of Good
news! Good newsr People were
waiting all along the road for the APP
proach of the bearer of the news. There
had been printed at the Office of the
old Lexington Gazette a number of
slips of paper containing the details of
the battle, and the mail carrier was
distributing these broadcast. 1 was
commissioned by my father to carry a
number of the neighbors living around.

caught two of them in the warerooms
one day, chased them on to the coun-
tiers and kept them there. He got
bite out of two men who leaped the
fence to see the factory when it caught
fire; went for the cashier of the estab-
ment when he came down stairs after
hours one evening; the cashier fought
him with chair until there was only
one round left in his hands whereas
the dog was good for several rounds
more, but was very luckily, driven off
by the Waterman; while countryman
who came into the warehouse one day
when no one was there, and dropped his
hat, had to walk backward the whole
length of the store, kicking his hat as
he went, the dog refusing to permit
him to stoop and pick him up.
The frequent earthquake shocks
which have occurred so far this year.
both in America and Europe, leads the
New York Sun to say: "These dis
turbances of the earth's crust, occur
ring in rapid succession, attract atten-
ton to the theory that earthquakes are
sometimes, at least, the result of causes
affecting large portion of the earth,
or perhaps the whole globe. Various
so-called earthquake cycles have been
pointed out, but it cannot be said thea
any one of them has been satisfact5t-
established. 1t is impossible to pres<v
earthquakes, and the utmost that care
full observation has so far proved is
that there are certain periods when
earthquakes are unusually numerous.
All sorts of theories have been invented
to account for these periodic disturb
ances of the earth. Some have as
cribed earthquakes to the influence of
comets, although the idea is about as
well founded as that of the astrologers
that comets foretell wars and famines.
Others have thought that earthquakes
may result from the varying force of
attraction of the sun, the moon, and
the other planets upon the earth. There
is, at least, some appearance of plausl-
bility in this theory, but the whole
question is yet open, and great deal
more information is needed before it
can be in any degree settled. There
is, perhaps, no other display of natural
forces, not even excepting volcanic
eruptions, so frightful as great earth
quake. Earthquakes have destroyed
many thousands of human beings and
lad waste whole cities and provinces.
They are entirely beyond human con-
troll, and experience has shown that
they are just as likely to occur now as
they were centuries ago. The ques-
> tions what causes them, and is there
any means of foreseeing their vista
tions, are therefore of great interest
=, and we have reason to be thankful that
in this part of the world the solid
ground is not often shaken, and that
when an earthquake shock is felt ii
). does little damage"
