Care of Hair and Scalp.

The skin of the head requires daily
treatment, but not daily bath, accord
ing to Miss Indy, who tells, i'll her
book on physical culture, that rotary
movement of the fingers over the scalp
helps to keep the pores in working or
der. Brushing with the brush both the
scalp and hair, the later with long, care
full strokes, removes dust and keeps tho
head i'll IL healthy condition The mas
sage increases the circulation and pre-
vents the hair from turning, gray. The
hair should be left loose at night, and n
silk handkerchief worn over the head
improves the gloss. The hair should be
clipped two or three times year, to re-
move split ends and promote growth. If
the hair is braided loosely i'll two braids
and the hand drawn up over each braid,
the loose ends will stand out i'll way
which makes them easy to clip. The
hair need be washed only once in two OR
three months Too frequent bathing ex-
hausts the nutrient elements of the Sc
baccous glands. Care should be taken i'll
taking the head bath, and in thoroughly
drying the hair, or colds; headaches and
serious i'll health may be the result. An
oil made Of three parts vaseline to one
part lanolinc is good toprevent the hair
from falling out. Vaseline is valuable
stlmulant for eyelashes and eyebrows.

But when physical weakness or disease Ia
added to woman's burden 1t becomes al
together too heavy. No woman can he
cheerful or hopeful who is dragged down
by continual pain and physical wretch
edness.
The special weaknesses peculiar to the
feminine organism are comparatively easv
to overcome if the earlier symptoms are
given proper attention. But if allowed to
go unchecked, they are liable to develop
into serious, chronic complications.
Any woman afflicted with these delicate
ailments ought to have the immediate aid
of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It is
perfect and unfailing specific for all dis
eases of the feminine organs 1t was de-
vised for this one purpose and accomp-
fishes this. purpose as no other medicine
has ever done.
For nearly 80 years DR.. Pierce has been
chief consulting physician of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo,
N. Y, where i'll conjunction with his staff
of associate specialists, he has successfully
treated many thousand cases of female
complaint"
No physician living has had more ex-
tended opportunity to study this class of
diseases in actual practice. No medicine
ever invented has done for women what his
Favorite Prescription has.

WHEN IS \ rEasoS "AGE1,.,

A peculiar clause in the exemption
the first judicial decision of a time
when a man can be classed as aged.
This clause eXempts from seizure on
execution the property of any person
who is "aged or infirm' A seizure
was resisted by a defendant in execu-
ton on the ground that he was aged
and the property therefore exempt. He
proved his age to be sixty-six years.
The court sustained the claim. 1t did
not hold that this was the precise limit,
only that a person was aged who had
attained to that length of life With
that caution with which courts pro-
verbally hedge about their ventures
into the unprecedented the court prem
ised that ''the term aged, as applied
to human beings, is not, for all pur-
poses, susceptible Of precise definition"
nor is it practicable to fix arbitrarily
a period of life at which the condition
of being aged may be said to have GER
Calnly DeSun, -Dul tle court was. StedE
that sit is safe to hold that a man
sixty-six years Of age is entftledSte sex-
emption of his property from levyaand
sale under that clause Of our constftu-
ton allowing this right to every aged
or infirm person." And this the court
held further was the case whether
the applicant were hale and hearty
man or not"
While the supreme court of Georgia
thus defines one point in the march Of
years where a man can be said to be
so aged as to warrant the state in pre-
serving his property from seizure to
satisfy his debts the congress of the
United States has fixed the limit of
sixty-two years as the age In which
the incompetency Of an officer to longer
perform his duties in the army or navy
by reason of the encroachment of age
upon his energies and faculties is at
tanned. While retirement at any earlier
age for disability is allowed. at sixty
two 1T becomes compulsory. There is,
however good reason to suppose that
this limit was not fixed because 1t had
been ascertained, as one of the immut-
able conditions of life, that the aver
age man becomes incapable at that
age. his faculties and bodily energies
so impaired as to render him unfit to
nerform military service. The real
motive probably was that the war had
left in commission such large num-
Der of officers, increased annually by
the output Of West Point, and decreas-
The Saint Paul globe., 1897-06-06

charter commission appointed by the
splendid body of judges which consti-
tutes the district bench of Ramsey
county can be depended upon absolute
ly to select for this commission fifteen
men who will be representative of all
that is best, most intelligent and at
once most progressive and most con-
servative in the city of st. Paul. So
far, we are assured of a commission
that will not be petty in intellect or
political in constitution.
Before the judges can act the initia-
tive must be taken by the people. They
have two methods open to them. The
city council may pass an ordinance re-
questing the appointment of commits
sion by the judges, and the work will
be done. The council. which has proved
itself a mere cipher in the public life,
is not inclined to act. A resolution
to this effect has been introduced and
buried in the committee on streets. 1t
will be resurrected only if the people
insist upon it. Let them voice their
demand, and these men, who are not
some of whom aspire to future in the
public life Of the city, will not dare
to place their veto upon the people $
will. Should they do this, then, upon
petition of per cent of the qualified
voters of ST. Paul, the judges will act
without reference to the council, as
they are required to do by law. Let
the council understand that these pc
titions will be forthcoming. There are
enough public-spirited men in this
community to see to it that we shall
not be held down and hampered, and
held up to ridicule and kept in the rear
of the cities Of this state.
The G o b e is ready to vouch for
it, and knows whereof it speaks, that,
if this antediIuvian body that pretends
to govern us is so recreant to it's trust,
the people will take matters into their
own hands. Let this, too, be clearly
set forth at the mass meeting on Tues
day night, and st. Paul will have taken
a step forward toward a new and
broader and more vigorous life. Rarely
has an occasion been more important,
or an emergency more stirring than
this. Save the schools by the common
sense method, which commends itself
to all their friends, and is approved
by probably a majority Of the board OF
school inspectors. Set in operation the
machinery for framing a new charter
that will relieve us for the future. We
tell the people that never, in the days
when they were moving for new en-
terprises and reaching out for popula-
ton and endeavoring to enlarge the
circle of their trade, was there a larger
duty or a more imperative responsible
ity set before them than today. They
are on trial We hope for and we ex-
pect the best.

I'm PROCESS OF ADJUSTMENT.

Curiously illustrative Of both the in
terfering, meddling disposition Of men
acting in legislative capacity, and Of
that other, fortunate disposition of ma
ture and human nature to adjust itself
to changes in the routine Of affairs, Is
the treatment accorded the irruption OF
the wheel in its latest form, the "safe-
ty" The name i'll accords with the
apparent conception Of it by portions
Of the public and by all their repre-
sentatives. To them it is an imple-
ment of unsafety, to be- haltered and
hobbled, hedged about with regulations
dogs liable to rabies. So we have or
dinances following each other with a
rapidity that leaves wheelmen no idea
Of where they are at; councils taking
ing suit with rules that put wheels on
a level with carriages drawn by quad
rupeds.
And all this is simply due to the fact
that the wheel is an innovation, dis
turbing the complacency Of former ad-
justments and requiring new ones to
be made. Mankind had long ago ar
ranged the terms on which it would
coexist with the butchers and grocers
furiously driven carts by letting the
carts have the right of way and look

AN ATRoC1TY AND AN ANSWER.


1t seems Y COS sus that Republican
platforms should cease to refer to the
administration of lynch law as a fea-
ture of Democratic communities and
the particular pastime Of the. South
After such an atrocity as the lynching
during the past week at Urbana, O.,
no other state can take away her
laurels as the champion violator of law
and order. We have heard of mob
murders conducted with circumstances
of more fiendish cruelty, but we have
never known Of one that seemed to
exhibit a more entire absence of respect
for constituted law, and more com
plete return to the prineval conditions
of barbarism. The criminal in this
case was convicted off heinous crime
and had been duly tried and sentenced.
1t is true that his trial was hurried
and secret, because mob of thousands
was at that moment clamoring about
the court house, desirous for their vic
TINS life. But the process Of law was
regular. There was no pretense that
public feeling was, excited by the fear
that the offender might escape. He
was in the hands of the law and the
law had dealt with him, and the peni-
tertiary waited for him for the full
limit of imprisonment.
It was after this was known that the
mob reached it's most violent stage and
made it's assault. The local authorities,
determined to protect public order, re-
sisted, and the government of the
state was applied to for help. In the
attack upon the Jail and it's defense
a number of men were killed and
others wounded To prevent the law
from taking it's due course, to struggle
and wrangle like savage beasts over
the body of this brute whom they
sought, 1900 people defied both decency
and authority, and willingly risked
their own lives. Then, when the as
sistance summoned had arrived and
the company Of militia was ready to
protect not only the prisoner, but So
ciety and order, they We're marched
back again to the depot by direction
of the mayor, in order that the lynch
ers might have an open way and free
field for carrying out their purposes.
The abdication Of decency, law and
order was complete. An entire COM
munity, joined by its official represent
ative, dissolved Il Iselfgsnto an aggrega-
ton of criminals, h ORDER that one other
criminal might 5uffar at their hands
instead Of receiving the punishment
directed by lava The victim was a
negro. The crime Of Which he was ac-
cused is the same that has SO wrought
upon the feelings &oN people in the
Southern states. The scene Of the out
rage was not insfhe South, but one Of
the great communities of the North,
the home of the president of the United
States, at whose instance Republican
speakers and platforms have denounc-
ed the crime of lynching and have ait
tempted to depict lit as the peculiar
weakness OF the Southern people. This
atrocious act has put stain upon the
name of Ohio which nothing but a
probably impossible melting out of JUS
tfces to those guilty of it could wipe
away. 1t has also given an answer to
a slander that has been too often re-
