THE BIG RAILROAD SUIT.
Yesterdays Phase Of the Important Li1iga-

Judge Hughes occupied the bench and
the thread Of the argument where it
was left Off Wednesday, was taken up
Dy Mr.. Alexander G. King. OF the law

The proceedings consisted largely OF
legal sparrng for position. The most
important points argued were the jur-

murrer to the hill the question was ar
Sued as TO the proper PARTIES to the suit.
BY far the most Interesting phase of
the discussion. however, was the point
raised by the ScabDard'S counsel. as TO
the authority Of the court to interfere in

A FAKIR,s SAD TALE

No" said the soap fakir to group of people that had gathered around him, there's no use talking to me about the innocence of the countryman. He may buy a gold brick occasionally, or sign a blank check and lose his farm, but as q rule he can take care of himself just as well as the next one, and gener- ally little better. If l knew as much as some farmers I wouldn't be in this business and you can gamble on that
 Why say, do you know what hap pened to me the last time I was down in the country? I got pinched, that's what l done. l got my satchel out in front of the hotel in little town about thirty miles out east here, and began to do few tricks to draw crowd.
 i'After I had made an egg disappear and pulled a few knots open for them, I says: Now gentlemen, I'm going to show you a trick that nobody else on earth has ever attempted. You see my hat here? Well, we'll imagine for the time bein' that it's a tlowerpot. Out of this hat I'm goin to make a bush grow up, and when I've done that I'll make every leaf on it turn into a five-dollar note'
 What? Did I do it? Of course, did. But, say, do you know what come of it? Blamed if they didn't arrest me and fine me $15 for raisin' bills, which the Justice of the Peace said was contrary to the statoots made and provided
 Well I sort of had a hankern' to know whether they done it in good faith or just because they thought was easy pickin. and what do you think I found out? Why, the people oi that town hadn't paid any taxes foi eight years. They'd actually been run nin' things by pluckin' just such inno- cent fellows as me.
 Now, gentlemen, there's one-dolIai bill in one of these little packages Who will give me 10 cents for the firs choice e?"-Cleveland Leader.

The Milk in the Cocoanut,

A patent medicine man who has made one of the largest fortunes ever amass- ed from this kind of business, once said to an acquaintance: T wouldn't give a fig for a remedy that cures, for when you cure your sales are cut off. All you want to give is relief, and then people will keep on buying"
 This same man also said: "The less a remedy costs to make the better it is''
 That man ought to have started a few years ago making a dentifrice. Of all the worthless stuff in the drug trade the majority of the tooth prepara- tions take the lead The principles which actuate them are described above.
 A dentifrice can possess merit or it can be harmful. It should contain five properties. It should cut and remove all grease, polish the teeth (not grind them), stimulate the gums, act as an antiseptic, and neutralize the acids that cause decay.
 There is only one dentifrice that con- tains these five properties This is Pearlo-dento, the ideal tooth paste Pearlo-dento is delicious in flavor and is made from the scientific formula of a prominent dental surgeon. It contains more merit and is better adapted to the needs of the teeth and gums than any other dentifrice in the world. Ask your druggist for it.

FUNCTIONS OF THE HAIR.

An article by Dr. Exner in the Vien- ma Klinische Wochenschrift is abstract ed in the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal. He states his belief that the bodies of our ancestors were totally covered with hair, and that it's present disappearance is due to the fact that it's absence was regarded as a beauty, and hence that in the choice of mates preference was always given to those that had the least of it. ''As to the physiological functions of hairs" says pr; Exner, "it is admitted that they are modified sense organs, which have lost all connection with the nerves. It is probable that in primitive man the dis irregular, and that the length, color, structure and thickness of the hair va ried with functions for which it was intended. The hair which has been left upon the body in the process of evolu- ton has been left there for a definite purpose. Certain hairs serve as organs of touch notably the eyelashes, the bulbs of which are surrounded by a network of nerve fbers, and in a less degree the hairs of the eyebrows. Both these serve to protect the eyes, for, be- ing sensitive, they give warning of dan- ger, so that reflex closure of the lids is produced. The eyebrows also prevent drops of sweat from running into the eyes, while the eyelashes keep out dust In animals the hair serves to maintain and regulate the heat of the body, but in man the hair of the scalp alone serves this purpose. Hair is itself a poor conductor of heat, and retains air also poor conductor in its interstices
 The fact that the forehead is not GOV cred with hair," EXner explains. "or
 the theory that in the contest between the natural tendency of the hair to pro- tect the head against changes of tenn. perature and the tendency of human nature toward beauty, the latter has prevailed more easily, because the non. conducting properties of that portion of the skull are increased by the ail containing frontal sinuses, and that that portion of the head is easily pro. tected from the heat of the sun by in clining the head forward
