The ProthOnOtary's office in this
county will become vacant in less than
a month, the term of the present in
cumbent, Mr.. JOsheph Burchenal, ex-

thonOtary for two terms--ten years.
The applicants for the position are
B. B. Allen, of Duck Creek hundred,

is considered to have the promises
made before the primaries, and upon
these he and his friends are relying to
sweep him into Office. Allen has the
backing of the County Building Men,
and many of the personal and political
friends of Governor Reynolds. They
say if these early promises had not
been made, Allen would win.

Badness.

Badness comes to some people early
in life, and the universal dislike to this
appearance makes every one dread the
time when the head will be bald. Up
to certain time the hairs are repro
duced as rapidly as they fall out, and
then comes time when the latter pre-
dominates and the first stages of bald
ness begin. IL it is in the ordinary
process of nature nothing can be done
to prevent it, and you must accept the
inevitable; but badness is due to so
many other causes that one is never
actually sure that he is not victim
to some scalp disease. Fevers, child
bed, diseases of the skin and general
debility of the system will sometimes
cause premature badness.
But probably dandruff is the most
general cause This is simply one
feature of scalp disease, and it can be
removed generally by careful treat
ment. Sometimes local stimulants to
the scalp which will aid reproduction
may prove beneficial. Among the best
washes for this purpose are those con-
tanning rosemary, cantharides, mustard
and capsicum, but even these should
be used cautiously. Everything de-
rends upon the individual and the
length the disease has been allowed to
go.-Yankee Blade.

Books One Never Heard OF.

There is no doubt that there are hum
dreds of books in circulation today of
which the general literary public has
never heard, books which have sold
into the hundreds of thousands and
brought their authors and publishers
minis of money. These books are
sold by subscription and never pene-
trate into the cities. They are sold to
country families, sometimes hundred
in a single small village. Not long ago
I came across the list Of a subscription
publishing house which printed the
number of copies sold of the books on
their catalogue. The figures were
amazing. Of twenty-eight books not
one had sold less than 80, 600 copies,
and several had exceeded 800, 900. Yet
1 had never heard of one of the titles
to the books. .gsE
recall the manuscript of a technical
book on machinery being handed in
once into a large publishing house.
The firm declined it, and it met the
same fate at four other houses Finally
the author sent it to large subscrip-
ton house, and they snapped at it.
The publishers who had rejected the
manuscript laughed, but they lived to
have the laugh turned on them. Isaw
the authors royalty statements on that
book about year ago, which showed
total sale of 10000 copies of that
book in three years Edwin w. Bok's

The Chiltern Hundreds

The Chiltern Hundreds were three
districts comprising a wooded region in
the south of England, between the
counties of Bedford and Hartford.
They were formerly much infested by
robbers, and two centuries ago an off,
Ger was appointed, apparently at the
advice and with the concurrence of
parliament, to suppress robbery. This
official was called the steward of the
Chiltern Hundreds, and as he seems to
have been selected from among the
members of parliament his connection
with that body ceased on his appoint
ment. The Office exists at present only
in name, but out Of the original ap-
pointment grew the curious legal fiction
that member of parliament could not
resign, but could retire from his parlia
mentary duties only by appointment to
the stewardship of the Chiltern Hun
dreds or some other nominal office
which could be bestowed by the chan
cellor of the exchequer.- Louis

RAIDED BY MINERS.

Coke Districts Of Pennsylvania in . State
of Riot.
SCoTTDALE, Pa, March 31.-Rioting
prevails throughout the coke region.
The Jimtown works were raided by
1900 strikers, and the twenty workmen
there were driven from the yard in great
confusion. Work was to be started at
the Norwood plant but the strikers
prevented this. At Q o'clock a. m. the
strikers concentrated their forces on the
hills around the Norwood plant.
Shortly after o'clock 1000 strikers
armed with clubs, iron bars, stones,
Revolvers and other Weapons,
commenced firing revolvers and made q
rush for the ovens. The deputies, hear
ing the bullets whiz by their heads un-
comfortably close, commenced seeking
places of safety. The strikers then
began tearing up the railway tracks for
a distance of 500 ox 600 feet. They
burned other property, tore downfences
and committed other depredations until
5 o'clock a. m. So far as known now no
one has been seriously injured.
A Dynamite Bomb Was Exploded
at the Leisening No. 8 plant, which tore
hole six feet deep in the ground but
no one was seriously injured. Great
disorder prevails at the Leith Leisening
and other plants. All the Fricke works
are heavily guarded by deputies, and
the managers say if necessary they will
cali on the state militia. Further
trouble is expected.
Civil Power Must Be Exhausted.
HARRISBURG, Pa, March 31.-The
sheriff of Westmoreland county tele-
graphed to Governor Pattison about the
riotous miners, and asked the consent Of
the governor to use the arms of two of
the companies of the National guard.
The governor replied that civil power
must be exhausted before the state
would interfere.

VICTIMS OF JEALOUSY.

SPOKANE FALLS, Wash, March 3D.
Charles Elliot, faro dealer, brutally
shot two women at the Casino variety
theatre and then committed suicide. He

Mabel Debabien was his first victim,
she being shot in the left breast and in

Carrie Smith in the back, inficting .
fatal wound. Elliot then shot himself
in the head, dying instantly. His shots
were aimed at Lulu Durand, one OF the
performers, but she escaped. Jealousy
was the cause of the tragedy.

Small Tables for Dinner.

An idea from Paris that one or two
New York hostesses here recently intro
duced is that of serving a dinner at
small tables in lieu of one long one. 1t
is perhaps rather a relief from the mo-
notony of long table, which in the
case of a large dinner ought never to
be, but it is doubtful if after the nov
city has worn off it viii be liked. The
seats of honor will always be at the
hostess table, and heartburnings and
jealousies are sure to arise among those
who find their places at the less favored
ones. As only persons with large din.
ing rooms now undertake large dinners,
it is common for the two parallel lines
to be broken by different arrangements
which still keep all the guests at com
