Italy and Prince Henry of Prussia have all

Pious Pilgrimnges and Otherwise.
1t may be questioned whether it is purely
a spirit of religious devotion that leads
royal personages to journey to the Holy
Land. and there are reasons for believing
that the Zionism of the crowned heads and
of their families is prompted by other SEN
timents than those of mere pity For
speaking of them as class, the princes
and princesses of the blood cannot be de-
scribed really religious in the ordinary
sense of the word. They seldom govern
their private conduct sby the rules of any
church, and almost never regard ecclesias-
ties nearer to the divinity than them
selves. They conduct themselves and speak
in a manner to convey the belief that they
feel themselves above sthe mere details of
religion, ara it may be doubted whether
they have any real preferences save such
as are dictated by questions of mundane
policy, for one form of worship more than
for another. Queen Victoria, for instance.
when she is in Scotland, takes the COM
munion from the hands of Presbyterian
ministers and according to the Presbyter-
ian rites, although south of the Tweed she
receives the sacrament according to the
canon laws of the Church of England of
of which she is not only member, but
also the supreme head. The present car,
when at Balmoral, attended PRESBYTERIAN
services, while the king and queen of Italy,
as well as the Catholic princes of Bavaria
and Saxony, in defiance of the laws of their
church, were conspicuous at the Lutheran
services held at Hamburg not long ago
under the auspices of the kaiser The lat
ter, again, although he considers himself to
be the ''summus Episcopus" of the Luther
an rite, does not disdain to kiss the cruci-
fix that Is rendered to him when he visits
any Catholic institution, church or mon
astery in his dominfons, and his grand
mother, the late old Empress Augusta was

services and functions are the daughters
and granddaughters of Queen Victoria.
From this it will be seen that whereas
obedience to one church or another is on
the increase among both classes and the
masses in every part of the world, it is
distinctly declining among the "anointed of
the Lord. 1t Is merely another illustra-
zion of that iugratitude for which princes
have been celebrated since the days of the
psalmist. and under the circumstances
they cannot be surprised if people are dis
posed to ascribe to something else than
simple piety the Zionism which leads them
to make pilgrimages to Jerusalem

when $1,000 Looked Big.

From the New Ocleans Times Democrat.
Divide anything up into pairs and you
magnify it. A certain wise man took this
way to give his wife an idea of how much
$1,000 is. She had no idea of money. Her
purchases were enormous. 1t happened one

ring, and she coveted it. 1t cost 81 600

A Dry Shampoo.
From the St. Louis Globe Democrat.


Many women who have luxurious tresses
and who take cold easily are Obliged to
forego washing them as often as they
would like, because of the difficulty of get
ting them dried quickly. For such, a dry
shampoo is the next best thing, and If
carefully and thoroughly done, it removes
the accumulated dust and dandruff almost
as well as washing. The hair should. he

the head manipulated with the fingers till
all foreign matter is well loosened and seat

be parted in different places all over the
head, and the parts cleansed with a stiff.
little brush, after which the entire head
and hair should be very thoroughly brush
ed in sections till the dandruff is brushed
out as much as possible, when some good
scalp tonic or scalp CLEANSER may be rubbed
on. and the snarls engendered by the
whole process gently combed out and the
ends clipped. This should always be done
once a month to promote the growth and

The Train Waited on a Hen.

The Stanford Branch of the Ken

been the object of ridicule and the
butt of jokes on account of the slow
time made by the trains to and from
Richmond. We long ago ceased to b,
amused by the stories told on the
Alright and Great Windy, but here
is new one which will excite your
resibelities and we credit it TO the
versatile Lancaster correspondent of
the Stanford Interior Journal:
''The accommodating disposition of
the X. G. Railway officials was mani

tagging the train at small station,
told the conductor that she wanted to
send a dozen eggs to Richmond, and
only had eleven, but the old blue hen
was on the nest and would soon lay
the other, and she wanted him to wait
q few moments. The conductor kind
ly consented and the cackle of the hen
was the signal for the train TO pull
out.,'

will be at White-Bush opera house
Thursday night. The following from
the Omaha Daily Bee says of their per.
formace:
Notwithstanding the strong counter
attractions, the theatre last night was
packed to the doors, hundreds being
turned away, the attraction being the
performance in this city of Beach &
Bowers refund mlnstrels. There was
undoubtedly the best pleased audience
that ever assembled at this place OF
amusement. The company made de-
cided hit, every act being received with
laughter and applause. The program
was new and original from the rise to
the fall of the curtain, all OF the old
time-worn business being abandoned
and replaced by pleasing innovations
in minstrelsy.
