1t is a curious fact that red-hafred
people are far less apt to go bald than
those with other colored hair. The
average crop on the head of red-hair-
ed person is only 5000 hairs. Ordin-
airy dark hair is far finer. and over
three dark hairs take up the space or
one red one; 1850 are about the aver
age. But fair haired people are still
better off; 10000 to 10000 are quite a
common number of hairs on the scalp
Of a fair-haired man or woman. A
curious calculation has been made to
the effect that the hairs on the head of
a fair-haired person, if they could be
plated together, would sustain 4
weight of something like eighty tons,
equaling that of 500 people.

The Arabs of Tunis give their chill
dren opium to prevent their crying.
Il is estimated that each child con-
sumes, on an average, an infusion of
one poppyhead every evening of it's
life up to two years No ill effects are
noted as resulting from this singular
practice The men of Tunis who are
not Moslens are often hard drinkers.
There are shops in the town where a
subscription of five shiIlings a month
gives the right to come every day and
drink as much as one likes. This is
possible, as palm wine is very cheap
and very strong. The Moslems are.
of course. forbidden to drink wines
or spirits, but in Tunis they frequent
ly contrive to reach the same ends by
smoking a preparation of hemp flow
ers. The milder kind is called kif.
and when used in moderation, has no
more effect than wine. but the con-
centrated essence, known as chira, pro-
duces intoxication as quickly as raw
spirits and leads to delirium tremens.

The Disappearance of the sweater.


One of the pleasing phases of bicy-
Gle evolution is the rapid disappear
ance of the sweater. When cycling
first assumed the proportions OF
craze the sweater was deemed an in
dispensable part of the wheelman's ap-
pareL. 1t was worn by men and wom-
en- alike, and the heavier, thicker and
uglier it was the greater the wearer's
pride in it. 1t was a slovenly looking,
unsightly garment. 1t was usually
dirty, but it was considered the
thing to wear, and everybody wore
it. Last year, however, the sweater
began losing it's vogue and this year
it has disappeared almost entirely
Here and there it is seen on "scorch-
err who clings to ancient tradition,
but the great body of cyclists have
abandoned it in favor of civilized gar
rnents which are cooler and lighter
The sweater has gone to join the
high wheel and cycledom is much bet
ter off.

SPAIN WANTS PRACE.

There is no doubt that Spain wants
peace. She has never wanted anything
else. She is like the late, unlamented
Southern Confederacy, which only
wanted "to be let alone" Nothing
would please her better than to have us
quit hitting her. She would be glad to
let us have all that we have taken so
far, if we would only stop with that.
Everybody understands this, and there
fore the talk about peace on any such
terms is sheer wasteoof time. We are
not seeking peace, but making war, and
propose to continue making war until
we have secured the condition of things
that we desire. That condition is the
total expulsion of Spain from Cuba,
Porto Rico and the Philippines. We
shall probably also demand an in
demnity for the loss of the Maine, and
for the trouble and expense we have
been to in making war. This indemnity
will be in proportion to the trouble Spain
gives us, and therefore the longer she
protracts the struggle the more she will
have to pay. She can make peace
to-day much cheaper than she can
tomorrow.
SPANS miserable and incurable
habit of procrastination and tortuous
diplomacy will be ruinous to her in
her present emergency. Instead of
frankly recognizing her helplessness, as
a more civilized and straightforward
people would do, and closing the strug-
gle at the earliest date on the best
terms possible, her Ministers will daily,
and postpone, and intrigue, and try to
circumvent, while we are going straight
forward dealing irreparable damage.
So hopelessly incapable has the Span
ish Government always been to do that
which was best for the country, that we
may not definitely look for peace until
Spain is absolutely PROSTATE. This she
will be after we have captured Porto
Rico, Habana, and Manila, and Com
modore Watson's feet is on the Spanish
coast
The National tribune., 1898-07-28

The adventures of ST Klegg and his tall
friend, Shorty, both of the 200th Ind, were
so numerous and so interesting during their
service in the civil war that it will take the
author long while to relate them, and the
sketches will appear in many issues. His
friends have seen their graduation from raw
recruits to veterans, and have followed them
in their campaigns to Murfreesboro', after the
battle of Stone River, and there they are
quartered for the Winter. In the immedi-
ately preceding chapter Shorty and ST, hav-
ing been informed that certain Mrs. Bolster
"a woman of meager attractions but fiery
temper, who has fallen in love with Shorty
harbors a nest of guerrilas and spies, decide
to break it up They pretend they wish to
desert the Union cause and go with her. She
takes them to den in the mountains and
at the close of the last chapter trips down
one of the guerrillas there who objects to
her making love to Shorty.
The National tribune., 1898-07-28
NATIONAL TRIBUNE: WASHINGTON o. THURSDAY 49,

to listen to the wise counsels Of friends
of the veteran and of President Nc
Kinley. He has brought his fate on
himself, and there can be no regrets ex-
cept for the veterans who have suffered
through him.
Another source of disappointment has
been the failure to properly recognize
the claims of veterans for appointment
and employment. This must be largely
laid at the doors of the politicians, who
had to reward their henchmen. The
President himself has shown q deep
sympathy with his old comrades, and
taken many opportunities to give his
friendship practical form. He would
doubtless have done more, but for the
exigencies of a great war.
If he will now take an early oppor-
tunity to replace Mr.. Evans with man
in full sympathy with the veterans he
will further raise himself in public es-
