Doctors Ditrsr About Gray Hair.

Some authorities seem to regard the
grazing of the hair as mechanical and
incidental phenomena due to defective
functions, and others regard it as an or
ganic or chemical process. The location
and character of the coloring substance
in the hair is also a question about which
authorities differ greatly. Watts Die
tionary of Chemistry, also DR.. Bichat
and DR.. Draper, have advanced the view
that the color is in the central portion of
the hair, while NO less an authority
than Culver asserts quite the reverse,
that the peripheral portion contains the
color. Other authorities, as Drs. Car
penter, Todd and Bowman, state that the
pigmentary granules are sometimes in
one part and sometimes in another of
the hair shaft, while "Kolliker supposes
that the dark pigment Of the medulla
are nothing more than the globules Of
air in the air cells. "-Hyland G. Kirk In
New York Hmes.

STRENGTHENING eARRIsoNs.

The Kaiser's Return Followed by Unusual
Activity in the War Office.
LONDON, Aug. 25.-A dispatch from
Berlin says that the arrival of the kaiser
has been followed by unusual activity In
the war Office and by instructions to
strengthen the garrisons in Alsace-
Lorraine and all along the frontier. The
kaiser is said, on semi-official authority
to be of the opinion that France is in a
frame of mind that may lead at any
time to war, that the people of France
have been so stirred up by the evidence
of Russian sympathy and friendship that
they are likely at any moment to insult
Germany in way that would of neces-
sity be followed by war. The French
sentinels on the Alsace frontier have OF
late become very arrogant in their treat
ment of Germans who cross the line and
refuse sometimes even to look at pass
ports, driving the Germans back at the
point of the bayonet. A similar dispo-
sition has been displayed recently among
French customs officers, and all the con-
duct of the French points to willing
ness to provoke crisis by the maltreat-
ment of Germans.

An Introduction to samuel Rogers.

On certain day we went to call at
Mrs. Procter's with our father. We
found an old man standing in the middle
of the room, taking leave of his hostess,
nodding. his head-he was little like a
Chinese mandarin with an ivory face
His expression never changed, but seemed
quite fixed He knew my father and
spoke to him and,to us, too, still in thit
odd, fixed way. Then he looked at my
sister. my little girl" he said to her,
"wiI you come and live with me? You
shall be as happy as the day is long, you
shall have white pony to ride and feed
upon red currant jelly" This prospect
was SO alarming and unexpected that the
poor little girl suddenly blushed up and
burst into tears. The old man was Mr..
Samuel Rogers, but happily he did not
see her cry, for he was already on his
way to the door. Richie in Mac
millan's Magazine.

Two Hundred Pounds of Giant Powder
Explodes with Terrible Effect.
BURKE, Ida., Aug. s1.-Two hundred
pounds giant powder exploded at the
mouth of the tunnel of Black Bear mine
with terrible effect. -Four men were i'm
prisoned at the breast of the drift by a
rock that caved in and were suffocated.
The bodies of four other miners are not
yet found, but all hope of finding them
alive has been given up. The explosion
was terrific, tearing up earth and cast
ing it in the tunnel for distance of 100
feet. A rescuing party recovered the
dead bodies of G. Mcneil, general man
ager, John Jenz, assistant manager,
Robert Blackburn and John Barrons,
miners. The four others missing, it is
feared, were blown to pieces. Just how
the explosion occurred cannot be ascer-
tanned, but it is supposed that lighted
candle or fire from pipe dropped into a
box containing powder OF fuse, by some
one passing was the cause. -Four cases,
of 200 sticks each, exploded almost stimuli

Widowed Domestics.

The mania for getting married which
besets SO many domestic servants often
results in their finding themselves either
widowed or deserted in the course Of a
few years, with q number Of young chill
dren to provide for. They are generally
both able and willing to return to domes-
tic service, but that way Of earning a liv-
ing Is barred to them by the necessity Of
cooking after their membranes at
aome Knowing Of many such cases, a
benevolent gentleman down in Lanca-
shire proposes the establishment Of homes
which would take care Of the children,
the mothers contributing toward their
support In proportion TO their own earn
ings. s.s4>
The author of this scheme Of relief be.
teYes that II would be gratefully ac-
cepted BY the mothers as a most well
come change from the unceasing cares
which now make up their daily lives.
At the same time 1t would benefit so
city by increasing the supply Of women
servants, want which becomes more
pressing every year. AS q further help
toward that object it is proposed that all
the girls admitted into the homes should
be specially trained for domestic service
in its several departments. This would
enable them to go out into the world at
comparatively early age, and to help
their mothers instead of taxing their
scanty resources.
The main difficulty Of realizing the
scheme, which certainly has taking
look, is in raising the funds. In the ma
ture Of things the homes would not be
wholly self supporting, even if the ex-
penses were cut down in all possible
ways. It would be necessary, therefore,
to supplement- the income derived from
the mothers contributions by subscrip-
lions collected from the charitable pub
lie, and one hesitates to advocate another
appeal to that necessarily solicited quar-

Child and Caterpillar.

It is a pretty illustration of the eternal
feminine to see little Herzchen, two
years old, over caterpillar. The child
when she sees the caterpillar on the
walk straightens back her skirts with
her two hands. moves backward quick
ly couple of steps and screams at the
top of her voice. Nobody pays any att
tention to the scream, as it is recognized
as her peculiar way of announcing that
she has discovered ''yurm."
Having uttered this scream, Herzchen
advances step, puts her hands on her
knees, and looks down earnestly at the
caterpillar. Then she screams again.
Then she bends over closer to the crawl
ing creature. Her eyes have perceived
beauty In it. She suddenly reaches
forward, picks it up, holds it on tn
palm of one hand, and studies curiously
the row Of bright blue spots down each
of its sides and the golden yellow streak
along its back.

W. w. DEwITT's NEW STORE.
One Of the Finest Structures in Central Mon
tana Nearly Completed.

II there is any one man who has an abid-
ing faith in the future of Lewistown it is
our enterprising merchant, w. w. Dewitt.
Mr.. Dewitt has about completed one Of
the most ~commodious, well arranged and
finely finished stores in the state. The
building is two stories in height, and meas.
ures 29x9O feet. The lower story contains
"A gallery running around three sides six
and one-hali feet wide and nine feet from
the floor, which is supported by iron rods
from the ceiling. The ceiling is OF good
height, being sixteen feet, while the hard
finish is faultless. The front of the build
ing is iron, from the Stedman iron foundry
OF Helena, and contains large French plate
glass from Noyes BIZ os. & Cutler, OF st.
Paul. The shelving and counters are very
handsomely finished, the former being made
almost entirely of eastern kiln dried lum-
Der costing S72 per thousand, and the lat
ter are covered with a most beautiful slab
OF California redwood, costing S11O per
thousand, and is a fine specimen of the
immense trees OF the Gold state. The
workmanship OF the entire structure is OF a
high order, and rebounds to the credit OF
Messrs. Moshner & Roberts. the contract
ors who erected the building.
The upper story is not yet finished, but
when completed will be in keeping with the
first floor. Mr.. Dewitt intends to use the
upper floor for a carpet, upholstery and
cloak department, while the ground floor
will contain general merchandise until next
summer. after which it will be used solely
for dry goods and clothing. With the
opening of spring Mr.. Dewitt will move of
the frame building at present occupied by
him, and erect in it's place another two
story brick. which will open into the corner
building by two archways. The east build.
ing when finished will be used for hardware
and groceries, and will contain an elevator
for handling heavy goods. The corner
store has a cellar running beneath it's full
length which is seven feet in depth and
cemented on sides and floor with the best
Portland cement. The total cost of the
building when completed will not be less
than sic, 900.
Mr.. Dewitt deserves great credit Tor the
enterprise he has shown in erecting such q
fine structure, for it is one OF which any
young town may iustly be proud. He will
be in his new quarters about the first o.
the year, and invites all his patrons to cal
around.
