For Supertluous Hair.

Pumice and cream removes superflu- ous hair from the chin. Rub the chin thoroughly with cream to soften the hair; then take piece of pumice stone and rub the affected parts steadily but gently for five or ten minutes, being careful not to continue it until the skin is irritated. Continue this treat ment every night and morning for six months and the result will be gratify- ing. Some may say that it takes too long, but the disfguring hairs have been many months on their way. Naseline should never be put on the face. as it will produce growth of hair very quickly on the smoothest skin. If the hairs are stiff and coarse, the electric needle may be necessary. But the continued use of pumice stone and cream will give wonderful results if persevered in for a few months Chicago Tribune.

SOME CHANGES.
A New Superintendent for the Arkansas School for the Blind - Dr. Hooperis Resignation.

New Superintendent for the Arkansas
 school for the Blind - Dr. Hooper's
 Resignation.
 Dr. ]. E. Harvey superintendent of the Arkansas school for the blind, ten dcred his resignation to the board of trustees, the other day, and Hon. w. F. Ferguson, of Augusta, Woodruff county, was elected to succeed him. Dr. Harvey succeeded Dr. Dye year ago, and held the same position prior to Dr. Dye. Mr. Ferguson is man of fine attachments and wide experience in public affairs. He has been assessor, sheriff and circuit clerk of his county and represented it in the last legis- lature. He was law partner of Judge NJ. T. Sanders, of Helena.
 The board accepted the resignation of Dr. F. O. Hooper as superintendent of the Arkansas insane asylum to take effect Decem Der l. The resignation is regretted generally throughout the state.
 In commenting on the above. the Lit tie Rock Gazette says:
 Hon. w E. Ferguson, of Woodruff county. who has succeeded Dr. J. K. Harvey as super intendent of the institute for the blind. is . young man of good literary attainments and o. dozen years experience in the management Of public affairs. Having faithfully performed the Iublic trusts conferred upon him at home, and with several months experience on the board of trustees of the state charitable insti- tutions. il would seem that the board made nc mistake in selecting him for the responsible position of superintendent of the institute for the blind.
 And further:
 The Arkansas board of charitable institu- tions did very commendable act in extending the date upon which the resignation of Dr. F. O. Hooper, as superintendent of the Arkansas state lunatic asylum, shall be accept. It re- fleets the sentiment of the people of Arkansas, who are opposed to depriving them selves of the usefulness of the services of man who has commanded na- tional respect for one of Arkansas greatest charitable institutions. The board did exactly what was right. and the press and the people of the state will say so, and will be proud of the opportunity of so expressing themselves As superintendent of the state insane asylum Dr. Hooper's equal is not to be found in Ar kansas. All honor to the Arkansas board of charitable institutions.

Give Probable Reas0ne fsB Stalking.
LONDON, June 23.-In an interview with
Lord George Hamilton to ascertain his
views as to the disaster, he said:
Without doubt the Camperdown's ram cut
away the plating on the Victoria outside OF
several OF her transverse bulkheada. Had this
not been the case the bu!khead could have been
closed and tho water kept in one or ct most two
OF tho compai tments, aud the vessel would still
have hoated
An interview was also had with Right
Hon. Arthur Bower Forwood, the we'll
known ship owner. who vas formerly Sec
retary to the admiralty. Forwood said:
II was . wonder thnt such an accident did mot
occur before. The Victoria had . longitudinal
bulkhead running through her. besides . num-
Der running across-ship. she was thus divided
into compartments on each side Of the iongi-
tudinal bulkhead. without communication be-
tween them. The Camperdown probably
struck the Victoria ripping blow, opening the
plates over several OF the compartments Water
was thus admitted into . number of compart-
ments on one side OF the ship, causing her to
capsizs by the great weight Longitudinal
bulkheads are good thing in their way. but IL
dit not seem to avoid . disaster.
Lord Bras.ey, for some time secretary Of
the admiralty. sald the sinking Of the Vic
toria supplied a strong argument against
building moro big mcn-of-war. He said:
1t is evident that the Vietoria's armor af.
forded her no protection from the Camper
downs ram. While not convinced that smaller
vessels were safer than large ones, he thought
it wiser 10 distribute the countfy's naval

were well armed and numbered dozen.
One of their first moves was to sack
Thompscn's store at Granite creek. The
storekeeper being alone cncld offer no
resistance and they loaded their horses
and started south. Thompson reported TO
the government constable at Granite
camp, who followed with posse and soon
came up with the thieves, who were
Obliged to travel slowly. owing to the
weight of the goods the animals were
carrying. The posse was too large for the
gang to make stand against and. after
an exchange Of few shots. the outlaws
abandoned the goods and retreated slowly,
leaving two stolen horses behind. The
goods and horses were taken to Allison's
ranch At Princeton and the chase
given up.
A few hours later, when the posse had
dispersed. the outlaws galloped up to
All;son's. took possession Of the goods and
horses again and gave Allison message
to Constable Hunter that they would kill
him on sight Four of the party then
