THE Philadelphia Record, q
free trade paper, states the case
precisely as it is when it says
The nation is prepared to take
the new tariff just as a traveller
caught in a thunder shower is
prepared to take a ducking-not
because he cannot escape. Bust
ness men are anxious that the
tariff bill be passed-not because
they approve of the proposed
changes, but because delay and
uncertainty are harder to bear
than any conditions which may
be imposed.

THE sudden change to extreme
hot weather should warn people
to be very careful in exposing
themselves to the direct rays of
the sun, particularly if they are
not used to it. People working
an especially hot places in the
sun will find both comfort and
greater safety by wearing a damp
cloth or a few fresh leaves in
their hats.

Gov. CULBERsoN continues to
retain the admiration, respect and
esteem of the people of Texas for
the straightforward, honorable
and manly course he has pur-
sued in protecting the interests of
his constituents during the term
of the late legislature. His readi-
ness to commend and approve
that which was good, and to veto
and oppose all measures not con-
sidered strictly in the interest of
the people is worthy of commen-
dalton and endorsement.

A DISASTROUS hail and wind

A DISASTROUS hail and wind
storm visited Topeka and Kansas
City, Kansas, last Thursday
night, smashing in windows and
roofs, cutting down telegraph
and telephone wires, Kidding
awnings, killing dogs and knock
ing down horses. The damage
wrought can better be imagined
when it is known that the hail
stones ranged in size from that
of a hen egg to that of an ostrich
egg, and that thirty minutes after
the storm hailstones were picked
up measuring IA inches in cir
conference. Quite a number of
people were more or less injured.

THE London Times states that
military journals are at present
interested in a new self-moving
car, which is to be veritable
carriage Of death. 1t is to be
driven by a sixteen horse power
engine at the rate of 40 miles an
hour over a country reasonably
level and, of course, free from
fences. 1t has four broad-tire
wheels. But the climax and pur-
pose of this remarkable, machine
is to carry two rapid-fire can
mons, arranged on pivots, to
sweep the entire horizon. One
man only is needed to run this
terrible wheeled weapon of war,
and this same man also attends
to the firing, loading, &c.

THE THREE ISSUES.

A correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Enquirer under the nom de
plume of club" claims that he
voices the sentiments of a large
majority of the people of the
United States in asking the De-
mocracy to come to the front as
an advocate of free trade, free
silver and direct taxation; be-
lieving this to be the balm that
would heal the wounds of the
poor tax paying people of this
fair land. The manufacturers
have been protected in this coun-
try, while the poor have been I'M
protected until it is time to call a
halt. Don't you think that the
poor people of this country have
paid the taxes of the country
long enough? Ought not the
rich manufacturers, the money
sharks, the millionaires and their
ilk pay their share? I am in ia
vor of placing a direct tax on the
people of the United States.
Make every man pay his just
dues to SUPPORT the Government.
By making law of this kind
and doing away with the tariff
we will then do away with this
incessant wrangle over the tariff
every new moon, and can get
down to business and do some
thing. We will know at all times
just where we stand. We can
then probably get good honest
men in office, those who will
work for the good of the people
and their country, and they will
have no trusts or monopolies to
butter their bread for them.

Care Of the Head

While most people admit there
is nothing better for the scalp
than a thorough brushing of the
hair morning and night, many
will not persist in this, and are
constantly asking what will make
the hair come in when it is fast
coming out. Many of the
best hair dressers and BARRIERS
are recommending rubbing pure
grease in very thoroughly every
night, or every other night. In
several instances this has proved
very effectual, and a new growth
of short and strong hair all over
the head has been the result.
Many children and some of an
older growth are severely troub-
led with dandruff in the scalp
which always makes the head
and hair look dirty. This can be
removed by rubbing pure grease
in every other night, and on the
following morning wash thor
oughly with soap.

TIP HATS TO THE FLAG.
A Naval Ceremony Ordered to Be
Adopted by the Army.

New York Times: Army officers are
not lacking in patriotism, perhaps, but
they sometimes show a disposition TO re-
sist manifestations of the sentiment which
would have a wholesome effect if shown
with fair degree of earnestness. Secre-
tary of War Lamont is not an emotional
person, as any of his acquaintance will
testify; but he has some ideas about the
service which highly emotional men and
women will share. One of these has be-
come rule of the army.
For ever so long, perhaps for as long
as there has been an army ii has been
customary to fire a gun at sunrise at all
army posts, have the flag run up by a
sergeant, and at night have it lowered
again by soldier and all was officially
that was considered desirable to main
tain regard for the national symbol. In
the navy on the contrary, 'colors" has
been and is Il ceremony reminding those
on board ship of the fact that the flag Is

respect when it is raised and lowered. AT

Secretary Lamont thought that there
was no good reason why the same cere-
mony could not be adopted. with certain
notifications. for the army which is as
much in need of being reminded of the
regard due to the flag as the navy.
Oddly enough. the proposition met with
objections from officers of the army, but
they did not strike the secretary as con-
vincing. At all events, instead of per-
hitting the flag to be sent aloft every
morning with the mere salute of the
morning gun, which is touched off by
soldier without company, except a COM
rade or two, it is now the order that,
where there is a supply of music suf-
ficient to produce THE Star Spangled
Banner" the band shall turn out to play
a bar of it while the flag is being run up
to the top of the staff. and while ii is on
it's way the guard and the officers who
have turned out to see that the cere-
mony is properly performed. shall stand
at salute As on board ship, the band is
to render the like service at sunset when
the evening gun is fired and the colors
are lowered.
