Supt. McAlvey has a little English
mastiff pup. eight months old and
weighing 135 pounds that has devel-
oped an abnormal appetite for tobacco.
He acquired his taste for it by watch
ing Amos chew, no doubt, and he is
never happier than when he is given
"chaw." He chews and splits like
any other man and has never yet been
sick. His tobacco habit is a very CIV
pensive one and he will be given a
treatment of No-to-bac in the hope of
curing him. WORDS" Argus

NEGLECT in Small Matters.

It is really surprising in view of the
much vaunted attention bestowed upon
personal comfort by those who cater
to the public in any shape how much
neglect is shown in small details.
Has anybody yet discovered, for in:
stance, why it is that the windows OF
railroad carriages, even the most lux
urious ones, are almost inyariably 80
constructed that when raised the lower
sash comes athwart the line of vision,
and to see anything Of the scenery
you have either to duck your head be-
meath it or strain your neck to get
your eyes located above it?
Then again, what perverse ingenuit!
and disregard of common sense is it
that prompts railroad companies to
keep on making the catches for raising
the windows so preposterously small
that one cannot get anything like
decent purchase upon them, and thus
it becomes well nigh impossible to
raise window that offers slight re.
sistance without a vast expenditure OF
muscular effort out of all proportion
to the necessities of the case and gen
orally involving lamentable loss OF
temper and waste of profanity?
Verify there are some things In this
world that ought to be as clear as dsy-
light that no fellow can understand

Vast AssetS OF Insurance Companies.
The life insurance companies in the
United States, taking no account OF
assessment corporations and societies,
hold assets to the value of about $3.50
100000, or one-half more than the in
terest- bearing debt of the Nation.
These companies receive from policy
holders about SITS, 100000 year,
which means fully $40 for every head
of family or household. Their total
gross income is nearly 1920, 900, 000 an
nually. Out of this enormous revenue,
which is half that of the United States
Government, about s100, 100000 a
year, or s2,OOO,OO0 every week, go to
the great army of the insured, in the
form of death loses, surrenders, divi-
dends, etc. The total expenditures
are about $3.50, 900, 900 year. More
that 5,500,000 policies are in force.
They cover liabilities to the amount
of 10000 900 in round figures.

How Hair Cleanses the Head. ,

That the hair covering the body o.
an animal or the head Of a human be-
ing serves the purposes Of warmth and
protection is manifest, but one would
hardly expect to find that it also acts
as cleansing agent. This, however,
appears to be the fact. The minute
scales which cover the outer portsons
of hair are fastened at one edge and
free at the other, and the free edges
ie in the direction away from thu
skin.
The surface of hair, therefore, Il
like that of piece of fur or cloth Gov
cred with nap; rubbed from root to
tip it is found to be smoother than
when rubbed in the opposite d1rec'
ton.
This being the case, tits evident thai
particles of matter in contact with
hair must find their direction of easiest
motion to lie toward the tip end OF the
hair and away from its root. SO oy
virtue of the peculiar structure OF lts
surface the hair serves gradually to re.
move from the skin which it covers all
foreign particles which may have found
lodging there.
The oily secretion emanating from
the follicies of the hair probably as
sists this action by gathering up the
fine articles of extraneous dust and
scales from the skin, and thus enabling
the hair to retain them, so to speak,
in the grasp Of its curious system o.
brushes.
Every movement of the hair, how
ever produced, must tend to set the
particles sticking upon it in motion
and as We have already seen, that mo-
ton can be in only one direction. -
