Care Of the Human Scalp.

Salt and water is very good appli-
cation to the scalp. It's effect is to
stimulate the circulation of the part.
The reason why the scalp becomes un.
healthy is that it is not groomed
enough. We know how it is with a
horse that is not properly cared for and
rubbed often he becomes unhealthy
and, as we say, hidebound. This is
precisely the condition Of the human
scalp when it does not have proper
care. fit is not curried and groomed,
1t becomes hidebound.

AT THE METHODIST CHURCH.
SermOn On the Immortality OF the
Soul.


Soul.
Rev. DR.. Clifton preached last Sunday morn.
Ing on the "Immorlality of the Soul" and
held the attention OF his audience through
out. Among much that the preacher said
that was original. he quoted the words of the
distinguished intidel. Bob lngersoll, who
spoke over the dead body OF his brother
"From the voiceless lips of the unreplying
dead there comes no word but in the night
hope sees a star, and listening love can hear
the rustic OF d wing" The whole tenor OF
preachers remarks were in the line OF
thought that the thirst for the infinite proves
indnity. There was no people of any nation
on earth. however ignorant or degraded, that
did not worship in some way an Allwise or
Overruling Power. 1t was instinct with man
to worship his Creator and 10 love his friend
Man loved his kindred but he worshipped his
Creator. Even the Red Man-the Indian
worshipped the Great Spirit. Belief in the
existence Of the Maker and Ruler Of the Uni
verse IL part OF our nature and it Is impossi
BILE to divest ourselves of 1t, even as Bob In
gersoll admits in the quoted words.

Rrynn's Representative convention" and

Altgeld was certainly a representative
