BADNESS AND INDIGESTION
Another Valuable Hint to the Average
American Man


The cause of badness is a question
which has a personal interest for many
people in these days, when the new
m2a" finds it almost as difficult to keep
his aair as the new woman" does tc
find a husband The theory of the
bald-headed man generally is that
his exceptionally active brain has used
up the blood supply which should have
nourished his scalp; but those whose
crop of hair still stands untouched by
the scythe Of time unkindly hint that
this explanation is of piece with Fall
stats excuse that he had lost his voice
by singing OF anthems" Then there
is the theory of the hat. which we are
told makes for sanitary unrighteous-
ness in two w1ys--allowing no veutila-
ton. and by its hard rim cutting of
part of the blood supply from the
scalp. Again, there Is seborrhea,
which prepares the way for fungi that
blights the hair. 1t would have been
wonderful if that pathological sca2e-
goat. Indigestion. had not this plrticu-
lar misdeed laid 70 its charge. We are

FURS AND WOOLENS.

now TO store and Keep Them Free from
Moths and Dust
The great secret of keeping furs and
woolens free from moths consists in
putting them away early in the spring,
before the moth begins to fly and seek
a place to lay her eggs. Before put
ting away furs AID winter garments,
they should be taken outdoors, thor
oughly shaken and brushed, and then
put away so securely that no moth can
reach them If furs are put into the
box in which they were bought, see
that there is no hole or crevice in it, and
paste Z strip Of paper around where the
box and cover meet, so as to close it per-
fectly. Furs or woclen garments may
be kept securely in the paper sacks
which come for that purpose, or in
clean paper -four sacks Thee sacks,
after being tied up tightly, should be
hung in a closet. If this matter is at
tended to early, no tobacco, canphor
or other preventive will be needed,
but il will do no harm to scatter in
some pyrethrum powder, which is
preferable to the others, as it has no
disagrecable cdor. If furs are put
away with camphOr, they are apt to
come out next fall 4 shade or two

THE NEW INDUSTRY.
Consul TIngie Points Out . Market for
Horse Meat.


WASHINGTON. May 2j.-Mr. z. W. S.
Tingle, United States consul at Bruins
wick, Germany, contributes interest
ing facts to the state department about
the consumption of horse meat as food
in that country. In the large cities its
consumption Is almost as great as that
OF beef and mutton. In the smaller
cities prejudice against horse meat as
food continues, but the consumption is
growing. In the large cities there are
numerous shops devoted exclusively to
the sale of horse meat The customers
are the poor classes, but as these COM
prise nine-tenths of the consumers of
the country, an idea may be had as to
the proportions of the trade. With
beef selling from Is to 25 cents pound
il is only upon rare occasions that the
workingman earning from IS cents to
81 a day can have beef. Horse meat
can be had for cents q pound, and as
those who consume il become used to
it, the demand increases until it is now
somewhat difficult TO meet the demand
Consul Tingle SAYS: The horse supply
in the United States is practically in
exhaustible-. Horses can be raised in
the west much cheaper than cattle.
They can be slaughtered easier or can
be shipped alive across the sea much
more easily than cattle and can be sold
either on the hoof or dressed at price
certainly not over : cents a pound,
which the German workman paid
hitherto. Canning is out of the ques-
ton, but the meat is consumed in Ger
many in both sailed and smoked
state as well as fresh, and in either one
of the three conditions the American
exporters could furnish it With the
rapid disuse of horses in the United
States, the raising of horses now, es-
pecially in the west, is far from being
the profitable industry it formerly was
However, il the ranchman can make
the raising of horses for food profitable
why should he not do it?'

passed and the moonlight lit up the
sea again the bark had disappeared.
We looked in all directions and changed
our course several times. but we never
saw the vessel again.
When morning came the Lucy Mar
com had a crew of badly frightened
pirates on board. Every man from
Burrows down had seen the face of our
former captain the night before, but
now every one of Us would have sworn
that the mysterious bark was a ghost
of the sea, and that the wheel was held
by the spook of Jim Reed.
That settled the pirate business
with the crew of the Lucy Maroon.
They decided to take the vessel home
and turn her over 70 her owners, in the
meantime agreeing on some story of
storm and head winds TO account fer
the long delay in getting back to port
1t was agreed that a report would be
made that Capt. Reed had died at sea.
We shaped our course for home
without delay. but that night the Lucy
Maroon struck hidden reef and went
to pieces in an hour. The crew put off
in the boats. Four of the boats were
never heard of. but the fifth was
picked up by Spanish trader. There
were four of Us in that boat, and we
