How Not to Become Bald.

The increasing prevalence of pre-
mature badness is fact now rec
ognized by the medical profession.
According to DR.. Joseph Tyson's
remarks in the Lancet, the princi-
pal cause, although not the sole
one, seems to be the frequent cover
ing of the head. Women notori-
ously lose their hair less often. The
cause is found in the comparative
lightness of their head-gear. Com
ing to practical remedies, or pre-
ventives, we are told by this
authority that children should as
much as possible do without caps,
and that hats, when worn, should
be of the lightest description. The
chimney-pot hat cannot, we are
warned, be too strongly condemned:
In winter light felt. we'll ventilated
and unlined, is best. Washing the
head more than once a week is
deemed harmful; continued brush
ing with hard brushes is also to be
avoided. Greasing the hair, once
so general, is now considered vulgar,
but little simple grease or oil ap-
piled after washing would, we are
assured, be observation-disclosures

Luxuries for American "Million-
atresseS.

A splendid dressing-case which
Drews of Picadilly Circus has just
made for an American millionairess
is of green crocodile leather lined
with MORE silk and fitted with
ivory-backed brushes and cut-glass
bottles with real gold tops. The
brushes. hand-mirrors, pomade and
powder boxes were sent to Yoko-
homa to be inlaid with gold and
er-of-pearl. They are very
pretty, and the inlaid work is finer
and more delicate than anything of
the kind l have ever seen. It took
me quite half an hour to admire
everything. The price paid for the
bag would keep woman with ordi-
nary tastes in absolute luxury for
two years. A brown leather bag,
grained to initiate the hide of an
elephant, had a lining Of gold
colored silk, brushes and mirrors
of tortoise shell, ornamented with
the owners monogram in gold, and
bottles of all sorts and sizes, with
silver-gilt mounts. If | remember
rightly, this. too, was for daughter
of Uncle Sam. The extravagance
of the wealthy American girl seems
to have no limit.-Pall Mall Budget.

whats the price of a Minister'S
ticket to Walla Walla," was the next
question from a sactimonious look
ing individual, as he folded his
hands over the counter.
Thirty cents-half fare" was the
answer, and the pulpit orator paid
for the ticket and passed on.
"How much for sinners ticket
to Walla Walla?" asked tall, hun
cry specimen of western humanity,
as he arose from a bench near the
window.
Eighty CENTS" came the curt
reply. as Agent Hanson stamped
the coupon.
The sinner took a seat in the

Umatilla reservation on one side
and two yeast powder drummers
for opposition firms on the ether.
The minister occupied double seat
adjoining two pretty young ladies
in the chair car, while the editor
cracked jokes with the conductor
and was treated to a prime Havana

But when the train stopped at

Fond of Spiders.

zone of the curious things of this
life," remarked an ex-Congressman,
sis the devotion of some men to an
idea without regard to the opinion
of the rest of the world and without
hope of reward. / know of a man
from my state who has devoted a
lifetime to spiders. He died in the
Alps, where he had been for two
years collecting specimens of spi-
ders. He sacrificed his life to spi-
ders. He has left a collection of
some $4,000 distinct varieties. You
would hardly think there were many
more spiders in existence. This
man has them stuck up in sections,
in classes, fully labeled.
"He began fooling with spiders
when boy. He had a room that
he would allow no one to sweep or
clean, and encouraged the spiders
to such an extent that they would
come to him and feed out of his
hand. He discovered that by re-
peatedly destroying a web spider
reached a stage where his power of
webs is exhausted.
When that stage was reached the
spider attacked another spider,
killed him, and took his ball of web
from him. Just like human be-
ing, don't you see? Before this
man died he embalmed his knowl-
edge of spiders in two volumes.
He was a spider crank. New York

/" Beware Of the Vidders."

Bob Burdette thinks marrying q
widow is not the best guarantee of
a life of connubial bliss. He says:
mo, son; don't marry a widow.
She is too calculating, and loving
by arithmetic is not romantic. Real
love should not have any more
sense than a bottle of soda-water
suddenly tapped. 1t should sizz
and fuss just like there wasn't any,
thing else on earth. Ahl the elec-
trio spark from the heart that has
not been tampered with! The
widow is all right, and she is pretty
but don't marry her. The idea
of secondhand heart appears fiat
and insipid-no foam. No, son;
don't make a pawnbroker shop out
of your trusting heart. If you do
marry, teach your wife that you,
who gained her heart under the pale
glitter of the milky way, where the
restless young meteor chases its
love across the heavens-I say, con-
vince her that you were at the bar
Der shop until l A. NJ. There is no
memory so pleasing as the knowl-
edge that your wife knows you
would not lie But the widow is
too fly. She will kiss her second
edition at 7:45 P. NJ. 1t will be a
duty kiss, not like the gush of the
geysers of the Rockies, bat tired
and lethargic. She will not coil
about you like the helpless and en-
ticing ivy, while her golden tresses
wander over your collar. She will
kiss you by geometrical measure
ment and say at parting: George,
dear, it is just 7:45 o'clock. 1t will
take you just five minutes to get
drink, twenty minutes to get shaved
and five minutes for a shine. Here
is dollar, dear. Bring back 65
cents and return at 8:15 o'clock,

Buttermilk.

The buttermilk fiend is out with
another eulogy. "Thereis nothing"
he says, sin the line of simple drinks
which exercises q more beneficial
influence on the general health. 1t
is at once food and medicine. The
Tactic acid that it contains acts on
the whole disgestive system, while
as food it has already undergone a
semi-digestion in the churning to
which it has been subjected. Ply
sicians are every day increasing the
amount of it that they prescribe for
their patients, and in cases OF liver
and kidney diseases it is invaluable.
Instances are numerous of persons
afflicted with Bright's disease living
for many years in comparative COM
fort with no other medicine than a
daily supply Of buttermilk."

Might Have Changed American
History.

When Zebulon NJ. Pike was in
Mexico in 1907 he met at Santa Fe
a carpenter, Pursley by name, from
Bardstown, KY, who was working
at his trade there because he could
not well get away. He had in 1902,
while out on the plains hunting,
met with a series of misfortunes
and found himself, in 1904 or 1906,
with a huntingparty near the noun
tains. The hostile Sioux of the
plains drove them into the high
ground in the rear Of Pixies Peak.
Near the headwaters of La Platte
river Pursley found some gold. He
carried little Of it in his shot
pouch for months. He was finally
sent by his companions to Santa
Fe to see if they could trade with
the Spaniards, and chose to remain
at Santa Fe in preference to return
ing to the hunting party. He told
the Spaniards about the gold he
had found, and they tried very hard
to persuade him to 60 and show
them the place. They even offered
to take along a strong force of cav
airy. But Pursely refused and his
patriotic reason was that he thought
the land was on United States ter
ritory. He told Lieutenant Pike
that he feared they would not allow
him to leave Santa Fe, as they still
hoped to learn from him where the
gold was to be found. These facts
were published by Lieutenant Pike
soon after his return, but 10 one
took the hint, or the risk was too
great, and thus more than half a
century passed before those same
rich fields of gold were found and
opened to the world. If Pursley
had been somewhat less patriotic,
and had guided the Spaniards to
the treasures. the whole history and
condition of the western part of our
continent might have been entirely
different from what it now is. That
region would doubtless have been Il
part of Mexico; or Spain might
have been in possession of it, own.
ing California, and, with the gold
that would have been poured into
her Golfers, have been the leading
nation in European affairs to-day.
We can easily see how American
and European history in the Nine
teenth century might have been
changed if that adventurer from
Kentucky had not been true lover
of his native country.-Magazine
