FOR WEAK HAIR,

When the hair begins to fall and ap
proved hair tonics and brushing nay
little effect, to thoroughly massage the
scalp is often beneficial, as 1t stimu-
lates the circulation, and also raises
the hair on the head and gives It a
heavy appearance. The massage should
be given with the palm of the hand and
the finger tips, but the nails should
not touch the scalp.

CROWNED WITH MIsTLEToE.

A few miles out Of the town Of Rouen
there is an avenue of trees, chiefly old
apple and oak. This avenue is two
miles long, and in winter wears a
crown of mistletoe and clusters Of the
parasite fill almost every joint. 1t is
supposed to be the only avenue in the
world where such sight is to be seen,
or where the romantic and festive
plant Is to be found in such pro-
fusion

Charles Frederick Crisp was man
of learning, of distinguished presence
and of great popularity. He was
born in Sheffield, Eng, jan 30, 1s45
while his parents were on a trip
abroad He obtained his education
in the Georgia public schools and
served in the confederate army from
the outbreak of the rebellion till he
was made a prisoner Of war in 1864.
AT the close Of the war he studied law
and was admitted to the bar in 1866
and in 1872 was appointed solicitor
general of The southwestern judicial
district Of Georgia. In 1877 he
was appoiI ted judge of the supreme
court, which position he filled for
several years. In 1882 he resigned to
60 to congress.
He had served continuously in the
house since the beginning of the
forty-eig hth congress and was re-
elected I'd the ffty-fourth congress .
AS a parliamentarian Crisp had few
superiors. When Reed was speaker,
Crisp was the only democrat who
demonstrated his ability to so con-
found the car as to make him lose
his temper on the floor Of the house.
Crisp was never known IA get rat
tied II was that fact. coupled to his
knowledge Of parliamentary law and
and his judicial and fair mind, that
induced many to believe that he
would make speaker almost equal
to Carlisle.

A LIGHT REGISTRATION.
DIsGUSTED REPUBLICANS AND
LUKE-WARM DEMOCRATS STAY
AT HOME ON SATURDAY.

DISGUSTED REPUBLICANS AND
LUKE-WARM DEMOCRATS STAY
AT HOME ON SATURDAY.
The general feeling OF disgust among
Republicans and a sense of uncertainty
among the luke-warm Democrats re-
suited in light registration on Satur-
day-the first day of preparation for
the rapidly approaching general cleo
tion.
A safe estimate of the aggregate
number OF voters who registered on
Saturday, is 4,300 as compared with
$500, the total of first days registra-
tion in 1892. In the Fifth and Seventh
wards, where Republicans are usually
numerous, there is a falling of of %
per cent. in each district. In several
places in the Seventh, where 120 or
more were qualified on the first regis
tration day of 1892, not more than
eighty registered this time.
In the Democratic wards, however,
the falling off will not average ten per
cent. In the Tenth ward, for illustra-
tion, the registration on Saturday COM
pared with the first day Of 1892, is as
follows:
First district, 12i, as compared with
145 in 1892; Second district, 81. against
SS; Third district, 81, against 127;
Fourth district, 62, against 100; Fifth
district, 109, against 112.
