Ancestry and local surroundings, men-
tai gifts and mental defects, unite to
make Hawthorne the greatest master of
the preternatural, the magician of the
spell of supernatural awe. From every
side come the elements which produce
the effect of unsubstantiality- power
of pensive brooding, the brown twilight
color which wraps his figures in strange,
hazy atmosphere, the coldness of his
analysis, the self possession of his style,
the indefniteness of his touch, the indie
terminateness of his end His heroes
and heroines have little warmth: they
scarcely talk like ordinary men and
women; they move self consciously;
they speak constrainedly, as though
there is something present which reads
their thoughts, notes their gestures,
registers their actions.
The human interest is never so over
powering as to break through the film
of the atmosphere. A master of the by
play of suggestion, his hints meet us at
every turn. His subtle mind and pic
torial imagination give ghostly signifi
canoe to the commonest objects. He
works out the central idea in marvellous
detail, never presenting it nakedly, but
always giving it concrete shape, exhibits
it from fresh points of view, offers it in
new combination, till the reader ends
by feeling that he is himself haunted by
the impalpable, inevitable presence of
Hawthorne's thought.-Edinburgh Re

Grandma's Cure for Dandruff.

1--WE often scoff at the ancient grand
mother remedies" said an up town ply
sician the other day in conversation with
a patient, "but our forefathers used to
get a power of comfort from them, never
theless, and cheaply too. Science has
progressed wonderfully, of course, and
we are much better off ON the whole now
than were our sires, but we forget a
great many of the little things. Now |
notice that you are troubled with dan
druff, and I'll wager that you have spent
many dollars on different alleged cures,
and you are worse off now than when
you commenced. Let me give you a
grandmother prescription that never
fails. Go to drug store and buy five
cents worth of salts of tartar. Dissolve
half of it in warm water and wash the
head thoroughly. Repeat this at inter
walls of three months for year, and you
won't be annoyed with dandruf any
more. New York Recorder.

Mans Two Renntatfnns.

l am always interested in what may
be called the two regulations which each
man has; one is his public name, the
other his personal or private eminence;
the one is the distinction which he has
among people, the other the regard paid
to him by his own immediate set or fol-
lowing. Archdeacon Farrar has great
reputation among the ordinary people of
America and Great Britain, but scholars
look upon him with much of suspicion
as an accurate and profound exegete.
Bishop Westcott, however, has small
reputation among the people. Probably
not one in twenty of those who read this
paragraph ever heard his name, but the
respect in which he is held by scholars is
of the highest.-Chicago Advance.

No Price on Women,s Headeear

Two men stood in front of the show
window of Wabash avenue millinery
concern looking at the styles and guess
ing at the prices. Of course neither had
any sort of idea about the articles on ex-
hibition. Then they went in and asked
the floor walker how near they had come
to guessing at the prices. After she had
told them one of the men asked:
''Why don't you put the prices on your
goods the same as clothiers do on what
they exhibit in their windows?'
''You betray an ignorance that is par
donable under the circumstances. Here
is a hat that we sell for $1.50 Do not
faint-there are hats for women that can
be bought for that figure Suppose we
put that price on the hat and displayed
it. No woman would ever purchase it,
because she would be afraid if she did
that her neighbor might have seen it and
would know what she paid for it. One
of the privileges of woman is to de-
ceive her sex about the cost of her hats
and bonnets. Chicago Tribune.

CHOLERA infantum has lost its terrors
since the introduction of Chamberlain's s
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy;
when that remedy is used, and the treat
ment as directed with each bottle is fol-
lowed, a cure is certain. Mrs. Fanny
Dauderdale, of Rock, Pope county. H.,
says it cured her baby of cholera infan-
tum, and she thinks saved its life. A.W.
Walter, a prominent merchant at Wal
tersburg, Ill, says it cured his baby boy
of cholera infantum after several other
remedies had failed; the child was so
low that she seemed almost beyond the
aid of human hands or reach of any
medicine" but Chamberlain's Collie.

Red Hair the Fashion.

The one thing absolutely de rigueur is
red hair. Blends and brunettes seem
to have been wiped off the face of the
earth so far as Paris is concerned, and
there is hardly one woman in hundred
who cannot boast of locks the shade that
Titan loved. A wonderful preparation
is to be had which works the transforma-
ton. 1t is put ON at night ahd the head
bandaged in many folds of cloth.
In the morning comes the narrowing
moment The swathings are removed,
but such are the peculiar properties of
the compound that no one can tell be-
forehand whether the hair will turn out
the desired hue or purple or green. If it
is red the color stays for month or two,
and if it is green nobody knows what
happens, for the wretched victim retires
to the country, not to be seen again for
at least year.-Paris Letter.

Common Sense in Bicycle Riding.

Regarding pneumatic tires, the editor
of the cycling department in Outing
says: There is no doubt about it but
that better air valve must be devised,
made with an alright cap which can
not be detached. Some such device'I
hear has been tried in its experimental
stages, and when completed it will be a
vast improvement on the crude valve
now generally in use. Dealers must
take pains to instruct purchasers of pneu-
matte tires how to initiate and to what
tension-the heavier the man the harder
the tension. Riders must use brains and
common sense and not be afraid to take
a bit of trouble if they would get the
best results out of pneumatic tire"

THE LAND OF INVERTED ORDER.
Queer Freaks of Nature Seen in Aus
tralia and Vicinity.

tralia and Vicinity.
In the following it is proposed TO prove
that Australia can be termed The Land
of Inverted Order" In the Antipodean
wilds of that new South Pacific repub-
lie everything has some remarkable
characteristic popularity. Instead of
the leaves having their fat sides turned
TO the ground they stand edgewise. The
opOssum of America is the only species
of paunched animal known to the world
outside of Australia. On the Australian
continent there are at least 10 species
having that Distinguishing popularity.
They have been arranged into five
tribes, according to the food they eat.
The root eaters (wombats), the fruit eat
ers (phalangers), the grass eaters (kan-
garoos). the insect eaters and the fish
eaters (native cats and rats) OF the
wombats there are four species, all of
which burrOw in the ground
Two other very curious animals are
found in Australia that are unknown in
any other part of the world. These are
the echidna and the ornithorhynchus.
This latter is a species of beast shaped
like beaver, but having web feet and a
bill like duck. Then there is a flying
mouse, about half the size of our COM
mon mouse and of bright red color. 1t
has very long, furry tail, which is used
as rudder and looks much like feather
when fully expanded.
The trees are always in full leaf, but
shed their bark every year, which fact
alone would be sufficient to make the
Antipodean continent wonderland.
The leaves of nearly all the trees are
highly aromatic, but the native flowers,
though of most brilliant tint, have no
fragrance whatever. In writing of the
backward order of things in Australia,
Mr.. NJ. W. Ullathorne says:
Australia is the antipode of the en-
tire world. In that country rising
barometer indicates rain, and a falling
barometer fair weather. The swans are
black and the eagles white; the mole is
oviparo-s and has a ducks beak; the
dogs have VOLTS head, a fox's tail, and
never bark. They also have bird with
a tongue like broom, and fish which
has part of the body belonging to the
genus Kaia and part to the genus Squale.
Many winged serpents are found there
and fish with large feathery wings. The
emu is bird as large as an ostrich, but
instead of feathers has hair One bird
has note like bell, another cries like
a child, while third laughs as though
his sides would split.-St. Louis Re-
public.

A Monster Vessel of olden Times.

Ptolemaus Philopater, one of the an
cient kings of Egypt, is said to have
built vessel 400 feet long, So feet broad,
70 feet high from the keel to the top of
the PROV, and so feet to the top of the
poop. She had four helms of 60 feet;
her largest oars were SO feet long, with
leaden handles, so as to be more easily
worked She had two prows, two sterns
and seven rostra or beaks. On both poop
and Sprow she had figures of men and
animals that were fully 1S feet high.
She had 1000 rowers, 400 cabin boys or
servants, 2,62O marines to do duty on
deck, besides being provided with i'm
mense stores of arms and provisions

Cause of White Hair After Burning.

Says DIR. Leonard, in explaining the
cause of the growth of white hair after
burns or abrasions of the scalp: ''The
burn or infammatory action has ex-
tended deep enough to destroy the top of
the papilla, but not enough to implicate
the base, and hence white hair is the
result. If we represent the papilla in
the follicle diagrammatically by the let
ter A, then that portion above the cross
bar in the letter will represent the color
forming part of the papilla; that below,
the hair forming portion"
It is very remarkable that every burn
or abrasion of the scalp resulting in the
growth of white hair should be so ac-
curately graduated as to just take off
the top of the papilla-so remarkable, in
fact, that we venture to doubt it and to
set forth a different view of the color
producing process in the hair.-Hyland
G. Kirk in New York Times.

The Secret of Good Mountain Climbing.

The Secret of Good Mountain Climbing.
The secret of the climbing of the hunt
ers is that they trust their feet as much
as their hands. To plant their nailed
shoe is all they ask in any place. They
go steadily, but slowly, and rest often,
so as to avoid climbing when exhausted
or breathless A tired or winded man
will tumble, slip and be in danger where
he would pass easily when fresh. The
apprentice in this particular hunt found
the greatest difficulty in crossing chaos.
A chaos is steep slope covered with
blocks of stone ranging from a hundred
pounds to many tons.
There are ugly holes, big and little,
between them. Their edges are gener-
ally sharp. To the rapid passer, as he
looks down at his feet, they appear,
without exception, very sharp. In addi-
tion, some of them are ''wobblers. The
duffer passed several unpleasant quarters
of an hour in following the hunter, ex-
cited by the proximity of game, over
these places, and will always carry on
his leg souvenir of one of them.-Paul
van Dyke in Scribner's.

AN INTERESTING SCENE.

''Long live the Sisters of Charityr' was
the cry on all sides, in the wards, the
corridors, etc. All were full of emo
ton. After the presentation the pasha
returned to the divan to take part in
a Turkish religious service. "Allah!
AllahT' cried out the assistants, opening
wide their arms and invoking blessings
on the sisters and the sick.
The military doctor, on being present
ed to Sister Sion, said, ''Sister, l beg
you to employ all your influence with
the pasha to obtain me eight beds, so
that my poor sick soldiers may be prop
erly nursed."
Sixteen doctors of the city who had
been invited to the opening were pre-
sented by the physician of the hospital
to the pasha and the sisters. The rabbis,
the Mussulman and Schismatic chiefs
came also to address their congratula-
tions to them. Finally the president of
the municipal council assembled all the
personnel of the establishment before the
sisters.
A moving scene then took place. He
caused all to swear respect to the sisters
first of all the medical staff, then the
pharmacists, the nurses, cooks, garden
ers and porters. Each came up accord
ing to his rank and swore in his own
language and manner what was asked.
When the last had retired the presi-
dent said: Sisters, confide this house
to you. You are at home. l need not
beg you to act as mothers among your
children. Tablet.

Don't Worry About Being Sick,

One of the best ways to keep in good
health is not to think or worry too much
about it. If you feel strong and well
don't imagine that some invidious dis
ease may be secretly attacking your con-
stitution. Many people are like the in
experienced traveller who anxiously in
quired about the symptoms of seasick-
ness, and how he should know when he
had it. One generally knows when he
is sick, and frequently many supposedly
alarming symptoms prove, upon inves-
tigation, to be either perfectly natural
occurrences or of very slight Importance.
