The annual loss to Pennsylvania by forest fires is estimated by the State Forestry commission to be at least S1.- GOO .000. This is the direct loss. The di- rect or consequential damages are much greater, in the loss. of prospective tim ber by the burning of young trees, in the injury to the surviving timber, and in the burning out of the organic matter in the soil. In 1895 about 225, ,OO0 acres of woodland in Pennsylvania were burned over by fires due to the carelessness of hunters or others, to en- zine sparks. or to the maliciousnass of people who desire to annoy those who have purchase lands at the treasurers' sales for taxes or Ito redress some pun seflnent for or hindrance to trespass on private property. There is a suspicion also that some of the fires were start cd by timber thieves to burn the evi- dence of their depredations. The com missioner enters his emphatic protest to he conclusion, prevailing in many DOT tions Of the Stase that forest fires are

to that distracting advantage that the parted locks accomplished for the lucky girl suited by them. Still, a change in the combing of the hair is a good thing for the hair itself. The surface of the hair long exposed by one way of combing gets dull and lustreless. Put ting the hair back will show the under side of the locks and the gloss missed from the down-drawn hair will reap pear.
 But though the pompadour is now much favored, there's no need of taking up with it if you don't like it. Hair that is waved all over the top of the head is yet so much worn that a. new method of waving it has been de- vised, and is pictured here. There is curling iron with two prongs over which the hair is braided or twisted. Then the iron is removed. The top and bottom of this braided arrangement are then caught together, and are fastened securely with 8 clamp made for the purpose. If the hair is first dampened
 
 prongs, it will wave much nicer. This makes 0 prettier curl than paper curls and is better for the hair than the curling tongs, which only too often singe it or burn it off altogether The clamps are decorated with ribbon bows of different colors, so that the hair looks tidy even when done up.
 A woman with very heavy hair may cut her locks all around the head so that the hair when curled will hang almost on the shoulder. The long locks at the crown of the head are then drawn very loosely into a knot. Such a style is very becoming to wan and delicate beauty and the girl with an enormously heavy head of long hair will find relief in this removing of weight. Really, the hair should not be allowed to grow more than seven years at a time without being cut a third at least, of its length. If you will heroically do this. old age will not mean. among other fallings off. falling off of hair. FLORETTE.

Governor Morrill,, of Kansas, says he has come to the conclusion that prohi- bition is not the best system for mak- ing people temperate, and he does not think that prohibition ever will pro- hibit. But he is not opposed to prohi- bition. He says it has done a great work for temperance in Kansas; but it doesn't prohibit. He thinks State con- trol of the liquor traffic would settle the problem, and abolish the saloon. So long as people want liquor they will get it some way, he says, and he be- lfeyes the temperance people could &C., complish more by moral suasion and CO., operation with the State than through prohibition.

A CORRECTION.
Governor Nae Corkle Calls Attention to
an Extensively Circulated
False Report.
ID he Editor oftne Waeelina Reaisler.

To the Editor ofme Wheeling Register.
CHARLESTON, w. VA, February l6.-In
a large number of State papers a statement
has been made that there were $50 unem-
ployed convcts in the penitentiary. This
statement was made under a misapprehen-
sion, but has been copied extensively all
over the State and it places the State adj
ministration in rather q bad light. As a
matter of fact, the institution has been more
nearly self.sustaining during this admins
.ratson than it has ever been in its history;
Fit had not not been for change brought
about by one of the parties employing labor
in the pententiary every male convict
therein would have been employed. Even
under the great disadvantages attending Ia
Dor at the present day, we have only 100
unemployed convicts, and, within a short
time, they will be employed. The are 545
convicts in the penitentiary. Of these,
there are 30 United States conyicts who
cannot be employed, which reduces the
whole number of State convicts to 525.-
277 convicts are employed under contract.
At State work there are 60 OF the last,
there are Is in the laundry, four in the ba-
kerry. five in the boiler room, ten in the
kitchen and dining room, three in the shoe
shop. and the rest in the building of the
south cell building, in the dispensary and
commisary, There are employed fourteen
in the hospital. Outside of this number,
there are some unemployed not able bodied
convicts. The fourteen women in the PEN
itentiary are fully employed, and the PEG
pie who are employed in the penitentiary
by the State are absolutely necessary to the
CARRYING on of the States business in and
about the institution, and if they did not
use convicts they would be compelled to hire
just that number of people.
make this statement because, as | say
above, this statement has been widely copied
all over the State aud does the administra
ton very great injustice think, within
very short time, that We will have every
convict in the institution at work.
