The hair, like every other portion Of
the human frame, il uncared for will go
to waste and eventually drop out. This
is due to u splitting of the ends Of the
hair, so that the interior oil duct which
nourishes the hair is exposed, and the
natural nourishment OF the hair runs to
waste. overfows upon the head, forming
dandruff, which impedes the growth Of
the hair just as much rs the tares among
wheat The best means to prevent this
is strengthening Of the hair, and this
can easily be accomplished BY frequent
cutting and the use of salt water and
vaseline.
Have you ever noticed what bushy
hair seafaring men haveg Did you ever
see bald sailor? 1t is because their
hair is in constant contact with the in
vigorating salt air, and is often wet with
salt water A good tonic of salt water
should contain teaspoonful of salt to a
tumbler Of water, and should be APP
piled to the hair two or three times q
week. The effect at the end Of II month
will bo surprising. American Spectator

MINING N ls4a.


How Rocker" Separating WA. Carried on
In Pioneer Days IN California.
The most expensive instrument Of the
early miner was the rocker which,
though simple in construction, cost in
the mines from fifty to a hundred dol
lars, In genera appearance it was not
unlike baby's cradle as used by our
gran1mothers and rs still seen on the
frontier 1t consisted Of flat bottom
with two sides that hared outward, and
an end board at the head, while the foot
was open save rifle about AN inch and
n half high at the bottom to catch the
gold that might pass another rifle across
the bottom near the middle. AT the
head Of the cradle was hopper about
eighteen inches square, with perforated
sheet iron bottom or wire screen. I'm
der this was an apron, or board, sloping
downward toward the head Two sub
stantial rockers under the whole com
pleted the simple machine which gave to
the world millions of dollars.
The modus operandi may be described
as follows; Two sticks OF wood hewn ON
the upper side We're imbedded at the
/ rivers brink, one four inches lower than
the other, on which the rockers were to
rest, thus securing grade in the ma
chine to facilitate the outward flow OF
4 the water and sand. Two miners usual
ly worked together as partners, One
! shOveled the earth into the rocker. while
the other, seated ON bowlder or block
OF wood, dipped the water from the riv-
er and poured it upon the earth in the
hopper with one hand, all the time rock
I ing with the other, When the earth
was thoroughly washed, he rose, lifted
the hopper from its place, threw out the
stones and gravel, replaced it, and thus
the work went on As the ground about
/ the rocker became exhausted to the bed
rock, recourse was had to the bucket,
and the earth was carried sometimes
few rods. making laborious work for tbs
/ miner.
! To keep the rocker going another hand
would be employed to carry earth, and
each would carry two buckets at time.
Hard work Of this kind suggested inn
provements in mining At noon the gold
and black sand collected above the RIFLES
were taken up on a scraper and thrown
into the pan, which was carried to the
river and carefully washed to remove as
far as possible all but the gold The
/ yield of the forenoon was carried TO the
camp, dried over blaze, the dry sand
blown out, and the gold weighed in scales
or guessed at, and poured into the part
nership purse and deposited under the
bed or anywhere elseout of sight. Cent

In molding the thought OF the day,

No discourse or sermon can reach us
Through feeling to reason like you:
No author can stir us and teach us
With lessons as subtle and true.
Your words and your gestures obcying,
We weep or rejoice with your part,
And the player, behind all his playing.

The thoughts we call secret and hidden
Are creatures OF malice, In fact,
They steal forth unseen and unbidden.
And permeate motive and act

Fills only one part of Gods plan

past is bronze statuette dug up at Her
culaneum in i75i, and thought TO be a
copy Of the equestrian statue known to
have been made OF Alexander the Great
by Lysippus, after the battle Of the Ora
nicus. when statues Of all the brave who
fell in this initial victory were made by
the famous sculptor, If it is truly q
copy Of Lysippus work we can judge
from it how the Macedonians managed
their horses in hand-to-hand conflict.
The king is shown sitting on blanket
firmly held in place by a breast strap
and girth. Without dropping the reins
from his bride hand he grasps this sub
stitute for q saddle at the withers, and
turning full half way to the right and
looking backward, gives swinging cut
with his sword to the rear, covering rs
big an arc OF the circle as the best
swordsman who ever sat in saddle.
