Rustics who live on bread and milk

an advanced age, while people who
lunch and dine on meat rarely have
after 25. The italian parliament. for
instance, shows an unriyaled collection
of billiard ball heads. while the Italian
peasants always rejoice in heavy
growths of hair. Brittany peasant men
have hair almost as long and heavy
as their wives. A very clever and we'll
known doctor claims that meat eating
and badness go together, and he has
often checked cases of falling hair by
combining with local treatment a diet
of milk. eggs and fruit. After all, Che
most simple method Of caring for the
hair are the best. Daily brushing until
the scalp is clean and kept free from

harsh soaps, etc. that win irritate the
scalp. And often hair that is thin anC

Arrival Of tbo Willannette.

Seattle. Wash, Aug. 26-The steamer
willamette pulled into the Ocean dock
from Alaska yesterday carrying the
following passengers: J. w. Virgin, j.
II. Webber, w. II. Hockaday. c. H. j.
Wiseman, A. Bell and Arthur Needham.
The Willamette left SlSaguay Thursday,
Aug. 10; Juneau Friday. and Sitka Sat-
urday morning. She brought down no
gold, although $4,000 was offered by a
party Of four men who had crossed over
land from Dawson City, leaving there
Sunday. July 4.
These men, however, only wanted TO
come as far as juneau, where they eX-
pected to winter and as the purser was
not sure at the time the goldewas Of
fered that the boat would stop at Ju-
neau he declined to take II on board.
They reported that provisions at Daw-
son are growing very short One OF
them said that he had a friend who
had several buckets of gold, but was
living on two spoonfuls of beans and a
piece Of bacon as large as his hand pei
day.
The Willamette saw nothing of the
Portland on her trip down. and hei
officers say that 50 far nothing has beer
heard of her.
The officers Of tie Willamette EN-
phatically deny the story that any on,
was put in irons on the UP trip. Tn,
story originated, they say, from the
fact that a refractory stowaway from
Tacoma was put in irons between Sc
attle and Tacoma before the boat lef

THE INDIAN REVOLT.
The Frontier Situation Growing
More Serious.
A GRAVE CRISIS MUST BE FACED.
Khyber Pass Has Fallen Into the Hands
of the Enemy, and Powerful Tribes
are Threatening Kurram
Valley Posts.

Bombay. Aug. 26.-The latest dis
patches received from the front indicate
that the situation on the frontier is get
ting worse. 1t is evident that the IN
dian government must face a grave
crisis. involving heavy expenditures and
probably great loss of life.
The government is confronted with
the following state OF affairs: Khyber
pass has fallen into the hands of the
Afridis, the posts In Kurram valley are
threatened by the powerful tribe of the
Orakzais. the Mohmand tribesmen are
meditating a renewal Of hostilites
around Fort Shabkadr. while thousands
Of troops are engaged in crushing the
revolt in the Swat valley, and two large
brlgades are holding the Tochi valley
where the Mahsud Waziris are again
restless.
The authorities are convinced that
4 ort Ali Musjid could only have fallen
after desperate fighting, as the native
garrison of Khyber rifles. grand fight
ers. was made up of men who rendered
valuable assistance in the Black noun
tain expedition of 1883. The fall Of the
fort is very serious blow for it iso-
lates Fort Lundi Kotal, which is at the
extreme end of Khyber pass, garrisoned
by 800 Khyber rifles, and necessitates
the prompt reconquest Of the pass.
This Is certain to prove a most for
midable task, of which the British
troops had foretaste on Monday,
when a body OF artillery, cavalry and
infantry left Fort Bara south Of Pesha-
wur, in order to repel the Afridis, who
were then advancing down the Bazal
valley. The troops have returned and
reported that many of the men had
dropped out from want Of water, none
being procurable along the route, while
the Afridis, although shelled by the
British, maintained their position on
the heights, threatening the loyal viii
lage Of Kadam and the British position
Fort Uamrud, at the mouth of the pass
Fort Jamrud is held by a strong force
OF British and native troops, and the
British front extends about 80 miles
from Shabkadr along the north side OF
the Cabul river and southward TO Pesha'
wur. where the troops are massing as
the base Of the demonstration against
the Orakzais, who occupy the regior
south of the Afrldis, but have not ye
assumed the belligerent proportions o
their northern neighbors.
There Is an uprising, however, Of small
parties, which is proving troublesome
i, near Kohat, and it is expected that boil
tribes will try to close the Kohat pass
Numbers OF tribesmen are moving ul
toward Khyber from Kohat and tina
district, making the salt tariff the pre-
e. text for hostilities.
