The l.OadstOne.

The loadstone or magnet is kind OF
iron ore which possess the property OF
attracting to itself metallic iron. This
property has been known to man from
the earliest times. and the name magnet
was given to the ore by the Greeks be-
cause it was found in Magnesia, in Asia
Minor. This ore of iron contains y per
cent. of oxygen. 1t is iron black in
color, and has nm average specific gravity
of about ). The name loadStOne ia
properly applied only TO such specimens
as manifest the characteristic of popular
ity, that is, attraction and reprlsion in
opposite parts. When freely susren led.
these specimens will turn SO as TO point
north and south. The common spelling
of this word is misleading, as il has no
chronological connection whatever with
the word load. Ii is derived from the
same Saxon word that gives ia the verb
To lead. The north star was called the
polar star originally written lode starr
because it was the leading or guiding
star Of the heavens, all mariners being
led by this star in their voyage over the
sea and the stone which pointed toward
this star WAS called the lodestone, now
universally spelled loadsione. Magnetic
iron occurs in primary crystalline rocks,
and most abundantly in metamorphic
rocks. i'm which it is found in vast beds.
1t abounds in Sweden, Norway, Russia,
and North America, In India and in
New Zealand, and other South Sea
islands. The degree Of attraction in
native magnetic ore is developed in the
compound steel horseshoe magnet; or
by passing the galvanic current through
bars Of soft ore or steel. But the native
magnet will draw toward ii, when sus-
pended, pieces of soft iron or steel
placed near il; if touched with steel
needles. or splints of soft iron, these
will adhere to it.; If rolled in iron or
steel filings, these will cling i'm clusters
to its two ends, and finally If one pole
or the magnetic be touched to the OPP.
posits pole of another, the two will
forciblv adhere. as though fastened to-
yether with nails or screws.

The Same Old Rock.

There once lived in a neighboring
town a well.to-do Irishman who kept a
grocery store. He varied his business
by purchasing lint cotton. Ia packing
and baling this cotton on one occasion
he made bold to include grindstOne.
The bale was forwarded to Charleston,
where it was sold, and part of the pro-
ceeds used to purchase hogshead of
sugar. 1t SO happened that the man
from whom the sugar was ordered was
the purchaser of the "miXed. packed
bale. Probing around with his cotton
gimlet, he found the grindstone, and at
once pi oceeded to bury il in the hogs
head of sugar. In due time it was re-
turned to the grocer. Months after
ward, while the grocer's son. who was
also his clerk. was scooping sugar out
of the hogshead, he struck something
hard. Uncovering it, he found agriDd-
stone, aud called his attention 10 1t.
Faith, tits the same old rock!" the old
man exclaimed. 'Rimember, Moike,
honesty's the best policy"

"Did YOU ever notice what classes OF
men are most commonly bald?" asked
an expert hsir-dresser one day. "That
throws good deal of light on the causes
of badness. People give oil kinds or
explanations for it-dissipation, cutting
the hair too short. letting IL grow too
long. smoking, drinking strong coffee,
worry, wearing high hats, wearing low
hats, wearing your hat indoors. not
wearing it outdoors, late hours and
hundred other things. Now you Will
notice that there are no classes OF men
more frequently bald than retail sales
men. 5ookkeepers and office clerks In
certain lines of business. Why should
badness affect them more than others!
Because they habitually stand or sit
nearly every evening under gaslights.
Bookkeepers always have strong light
right over their heads or just In front
of them. So do clerks who have to work
at night. Retail statesmen sell goods at
night directly under two powerful
burners, and most of the time their heads
are not more than two or three feet
from the flame. The artificial heat dries
out the hair, makes it brittle and UNI
healthy and finally kills it at the root.
If you will pass your hand through your
hair after you have been standing under
gaslight for few moments you will
see ut once how it is. Although you
may no, have noticed the heat on your
head, your hair, if you've got any, will
be hot To the roots. You'll be surprised
TO observe. too, at what distance from
the light the hair will absorb the heat.
Now there is nothing so bad for the
hair as getting it dry. That is why the
use of water on it 10 so injurious-oe-
cause it evaporates so readily and takes
with il the natural oil Of the hair. Your
hair should be moist all the time and
with the oil that is secreted by the little
cells at the roots. When the oil is con-
tinually and rapidly dried out. as it Is
when the head is kept heated by gas.
light, the cell dries up and the hair falls
out. People who sit under the gaslight
should wear some kind of cool, non.
conducting hsad-gear to protect them
selves. | have an idea, too, that after
the electric light has been in universal
use for a generation or two. badness
will be as scarce as it was before gas
lights and night work got common
together.

Bold and Effective Lobby vigorously at
Work In HIS Interest.
Specia! to the indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON, March 12-Captain Eads is
very busy just now. The lobby that is at work
for his Tehuantepec ship-canal scheme is the
only one showing a bold front in Washington at
present. Several lobbyists of questionable char
acter are at work for il, and things are being
put into definite shape. 1t was reported the
other day that Eads had even gone SO far as to
get on the floor Of the House to importune mem
bers.
am told by Senator that complete can
vass has been made Of that body by Eads and
his men. the Captain himself having inter
viewed every Senator so as to ascertain the
exact standing of each one. The result places
the fate of the bill very much in doubt, as mem
bers of both bodies of Congress and all political
parties are very slow to pledge the government
to security of about $75, 600, 900, which. it is
almost universally believed, it will have to pay.
Strange as it may seem, the Atlantic coast men,
who, it is natural to suppose, would be most in
terested in any feasible project to assist foreign
trade, are largely against this bill-against it
because their constituents know the influences
usually brought to bear to get through such
schemes. and because they do not believe it is
feasible.
