The Fate of a Deserter.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-A soldier in Genev- al Schofeld's division who deserted from the army eight years ago was recently arrested, tried and sentenced to three years in the military prison at Fort Leavenvorth. Gen. eral Schofeld disapproved the finding of the court martial on the ground that desertion came within those offenses mentioned in one of the articles of war as lapsing when two years have intervened between the time of desertion and arrest. Adiufant General Drum to-day wrote to General Schofeld calling the attention of that officer to the fact that ever since Mir. Cameron was Secretary of War it has been the practice of the department to regard desertion as continuous offence al- ways punishables This action of General Drum is regarded as settling squestion about which there is good deal of discussion in army circles. ~

Caro- OF the Hair,

A lively old lady who died far advan-
ccd in her eighties, and was proud in
extreme old age of her beautiful dark
hair, was accustomed, when Il girl, to
hang up her night cap every morning
filled with salt. This was shaken ont
into a Japanncd dressing box every
night on retiring, but enough salt re-
manned clinging to the cambric to Sc
cure, as she thought, the remarkable
preservation of the hair. DR.. Holmes has
sung or gosslppcd about the widening
part" which some of the tclltalc tracks
Of passing years; but until lately the
prevailing fashions Of dressing the hair
did not make amy parting to show
Those who wear the hair i'm true classic
style, with the pure white line from
brown to crown, may find some Use in
the following Recommendation for
strengthening the hair and renewing
thin spots. "To Il quart of warm wa
ter allow one tablespoonful Of salt, and
just before retiring for the night wet
the head thosoughly with this, not
along the widening seam alone, but the
entire head. Repeat this operation
for one or two nights each week until
good effects arc apparent. 1t is likely
that the vigorous rubbing which this
treatment makes necessary afterward
Is Of as much use to the hair as the
saline treatment.

The Statue OF Din IsutZs,

"A correspondent writes from Nokn-
hanna OF Il visit to the famous statue of
! the Dia Butte, the "Grcat Buddlla," :"
of Japan. The writer saws. We
crossed the bay in boats, and landed at
the little village of lIaSc, near which
the celebrated Dia Butte stood. 1t is
more generally called the Great Bud
dlil, and is an object of admiration TO
travellers and alteration by all Bud
dhists. From the village we took a
small solitary path away from all hab-
tallonS, winding through Il cultivated
lield, between shrubs and small trees,
and apparently leading to Il high wooded
NIL. as the road turned to the left we
saw the head of il great statue among
The trees. The place appears like IL
mysterious retreat, with the sea on one
side and Il high range Of hills upon the
other. There are cvergrccnS on the
slopes of the hills, and trees scattered
all over the valley. We crossed little
stream over Il rnde bridge, when just
before us and near Il bamboo grove, we
Deheld the great bronze divinity seated,
with folded hands and head inclined,
closed eyes and lips, in serene compos-
| Ire. The storms of six centuries have
beat upon him, and he has been wor-
| shipped by millions, umdsmayed by the
storms and unmovcd by the prayers of
his devOtccS.
There is Il little cottage in the bam-
boo grove nearly covered by vines, oc-
| cuplcd 10y IL priest, who has the charge
| OF the great divinity. On an altar at
the feet of the statue incense was burn
ing. Two large bronze vases stand
near, and Il bronze table, but all else
around seems uncultivatcd and un-
adorned. The statue is hid among the
trees, all is silent, and with no disturb
ing sound, it is natural to feel that
the place is sacred. The statue is over
SlXty-livc feet high, every part being
in perfect proportion and harmony.
The drapcry is simple and the colln-
tclitlice benign, making the whole
plcdSlnS. Tie statue Is formed of
plates of bronze cast in separate pieces,
Soldercd together, and finished in the
most perfect manner. One can hardly
see the joints between the plates. This
divinity is considered the finest work
OF art and the most perfect expression
of religious sentiment of The .JapancSe
people. 1t once had II temple over il,
which has long since gone to decay,
leaving nothing but the stone follnda-
ton remaining. IL is proposed to re-
build the temple on magnificent scale,
the designs for which are already pre-
pared. The once great city of Kama.
kura extended all over the vast plain
where the great statue stands, and also
over the hills around.

Gum Chowers.

gum have yOul'
'"There are only three or four differ
cnt bases from which gum is made.
Tolu, spruce and paratiinc are tho

perhaps more. We sell from five to

Wheat.

Large visible supplies and better crop
The department of agriculture, while
finding no improvement in tho winter
grain, reports that spring wheat aver
ages 0S per cent, the same as last year
at this time. and that the area is per
cent greater than last y0ar. If this cSti-
mate is corrcct-and it is sustained by
other rcp0rts-the expectation Of an
exportable surplus equal to that of tho
present year is every way reasonable.
Conservative men set the yield of Cali
fornia at 60, 900 600 bushels or double
the crop Of the census year, and some
say 70,000,000. Considerable quantities
are now going from the Pacific coast to
Europe by way of New Orleans. But
there Is also a much better outlook in
the European fields and New Zealand,
Russia, India and Chill are sending
large shipments to England. ct our
own exports keep up to respectable
figures, the seven Atlantic ports sending
out 100, ,23G bushels wheat and IiOur
in the week to June 2 against ,2GG, BOG

points were 2,522.820 bushels against

2,510,442 against 1852, 1928. The ex-

What does this gentleman see?
An iron lire-escape, darling.
OF what use is it?
1t enables poor iron-mongers to make

How?
They sell the iron and also charge
for putting it up.
Ohl but thought it was a benefit tC

So it is.
How?
1t IS very ornamental?
Is it not also useful.
Yes, for it might be sold to the junk
men for three per cent of its original
cost.
But how docs it act in case of fire?
1t stays right where it is.
Cannot people climb down il?
They can try.
Is it difficult to climb down a fire cs-
cape?
Not more difficult than to turn a
triple back somcrSault.
Then most people would fail if they
tried?
Very probably.
How, then, would it enable them to
escape being burned to deathp
by enabling them to break their
necks.
They can stay in the burning build
ing.
Can't they do anything else?
Yes, they can jump from the win
dow.
Then firc-escapes arc really quite
dangerous things?
Oh, no; no one is obliged to use them
unless he chooses.
Then why do the poor builders put
them up?
Because they are compelled by law.
Could the man who made the law
climb down Il iire-cScape?
should like to see him try.
Has he ever tried?
No.
How do you know?
Because he still lives.
Then will you please tell me what

heads who live in the ninth story Of Il

mand for cigarettes during the past

somewhat singular, as heretofore the

demand is due to an increased con-
sumption on the part of the natives, )

his favorite companion for Il delicate
looking cigarette, and the effect is
somewhat astonishing when the con-
trast is noted between his own coarse
appearance and the dainty appearance
Of the dudes delights" The speaker
then went on to state that summer
always created an increased demand
for smoking materials. These cigars
are seen more on the street during hot
weather than during the winter. The
effect of tobacco Oh the nervous system
is longcd for more i'm hot weather than
in cold. The thousands who go on
excursions also exceed their usual
limits in smoking when they leave
