II requires n pen far more graphic
than can WELD to give even faint de.
scription Of the utter desolation of the
country through which the Quagla river
wound its tortuous course; now through
regions Of impossible jungles, where
wild beasts and reptiles found lurking
places, and where the dark waters
rolled ON with scarce current; and,
anon, barren rocks and sandy wastes
past which the river flowed like tor
rent Towards night and in the early
morning dense miasmatio fogs arose,
sitting unhappy human beings with
foul exhalations, and almost more nm.
endurable than the terrible heat OF day.
The river too swarmed with huge sauri-
ans-scaly monsters twenty feet long
not the timid alligators OF Florida, but
fierce creatures which were mans dead.
Hest enemy, more TO be dreaded even
than tho gigantic boa serpents which
they frequently saw hanging from the
limbs Of the trees on the bank, whose
embrace would crush ones body 10 u
shapeless mass.
Five days had passed since tho wan.
derers left the Cingalese village. They
had toiled on regardless Of heat, thirst
or hunger-thirst say, for the muddy

New York society is again busy talking
of the reported engagement of Nine.
Barrios to Senior Martinez de Roda a mem
Der Of the Spanish Cortes from Grenada.
Such an event would add to the deep in
terest taken in the beautiful Widows ro-
mantle history. Nine. de Barrios was the
daughter of Francisco Aparicia, wealthy
coffee planter of Quezaltenango, the second
city of Importance in the republic of Qua
temala. When she was fourteen years old
General de Barrios espied her one day and
fell violently in love with the beautiful
young girl. The common story is that the
girl rebeled. And then, too, her parents
objected to the match. She was whisked
off to a mountain convent by the general.
The next move that the dictator made was
to clap the father into Jail.
The prisoner was informed that he could
remain there until his pretty daughter be-
came Nine. de Barrios. However that may
be, she certainly did become the dictator's
wife at a tender age and some of her friends
say the story of abduction and marriage by
force was all romance. At any rate she
was devoted to the general and ever since
his death has been devoted to his numerous
children only four of whom are her own.
When the trouble arose between Gaute-
mala and her neighbors Nine. de Barrios
escaped to San Francisco. The general
fell on the field of battle. His widow
eventually settled in New York.-Phila-
delphia Press.

The hair falls out when the strength of
its roots is insufficient to sustain it's weight
any longer, and new hair will take its
place unless the root is diseased For this
reason each person has a certain definite
length of hair. When the hair begins to
split or fall out massage Of the scalp is
excellent.
Place the tips of the fingers firmly upon
the scalp, and then vibrate or move the
scalp while holding the pressure steadily.
This will stimulate the blood vessels un
derneath and bring about better nourish-
ment Of the hair. A brush of unevenly
tufted bristles is also excellent to use upon
the scalp, not the hair.--National Barber

One day we gave the child a colored sphere

BY tint and outline all its sea and land.
She pattod all the world; old empires pccpe,.
Between her baby fingers; her soft hand
Was welcome at all frontiers; how she leaped
And laughed and prattlod in her pride of blissl
But when we turned her sweet, unlearned eye
On our own isle she raised a joyous cry:

And while she hid all England with a kiss
Bright over Europe fell her golden hair.
