WORD FR oM MARS
When the Signal was Made Ont
Its Significance Was Im-
pertinent. z55 z5

The greatest possible commotion pre-
vailed, The entire world was interested.
Scient fists from every country focked to the
seat Of the new observatory. The great
telescope, the marvel Of the nineteenth cen-
tuTy was the talk Of two ontinents.
4. This world was on the eve Of communicat-
ing with Mars. It had been scient tifcally
proved possible. Astronomers watching the
distant planet through lesser telescopes had
observed the attempts of the Martians to sig
nal US. They were using system Of great
planes and geometrical figures which formed
themselves into an understandable code.
. Slowly was the big telescope focused on
the distant star. Distracted reporters
dashed around sending bulletins every FIVE
minutes Aged astronomers waited with
trembling anxiety for the great moment Of
their lives. Hundreds Of smaller telescopes
were carried along the range Of the new op-
tcal instrument
The Martians are signaling!'' telegraphed
an excited correspondent; in few min-
utesi more 40 the signals will be read" At last!
An eager eye is glued to the glass. The
great figures on the plains of Mars move
slowly. The world is hushed waiting for the
message, the first to break the silence of
sAeons. The first letter is made out with
difficulty; the others follow more rapidly.

Baby,s Hair.

Sometimes few hints are worth
untold millions to a poor, perplexed
young mother, with no fond and ex-
perienced grandmot ther within call to
cut the gordian knot Of an unexpected
nursery problem. In consequence baby
may often suffer Inconvenience and
pain while the doting mamma is doc
toring the soft, sill down with which
his little head is covered. AS every
one of experience knows, baby's scalp.
is very sensitive, and the bones Of
the skull are not completely closed
up until baby is almost two years old,
and when any wise woman advocates
the use Of alcohol for the purpose Of
promoting the growth of the hair or
keeping the scalp free from all baby
ailments, alent scurvy should appear
on the head, despite the care and
daily Washings, do not rub it with
alcohol or use a fne-tooth comb for
loosening it, but apply frequent and
homoeopa pathic doses Of vaseline until
the trouble has all disappeared and
the little head is free from all disfg-
-urements. Vaseline will also pro
mote the growth Of the hair and make
it come in thicker and more silky

Liberty OF Guests. /.

The ideal hostess is she who permits
her guests some measure of local option
or of individual liberty. She does not
insist on their accomp pan ying her on ex-
cursions to which they do not want to
go; neither does she remain at home
with them if she discovers they are only
accepting out of Poll iteness. If she is
unsuccessful in ascertaining what the
visitors prefer in the way Of being en-
tertained, she has the grace to leave
them to their own devices. The sched-
ule of the day IS laid out at breakfast,
if not the evening before. Those who
do not care to drive or sail are allowed
s.the liberty OF the snbject as they
say in En- gland. a too strenuous hos
pitality is terror to its victim. There
is a happy med dunn between being a
swhip pper-in' and a neglectful hostess.

This complaint is very frequently heard
coming from the lips Of maidens who
are to be enyied owing to their adorable
youth, the very thing they despise.

clear eyes will never belong to them but

in all this lovely world anything so
sweet and loveable as dear little

WoUNDED WTfl
Assault Made Upon Two Persons In
Boston Apartment House.

Boston, Nov. 30-Emma r. Samaine,
a housekeeper, and John Barnard, her
employer, were seriously wounded with
an axe, which the police claim was
welded by Charles G.. West, the jani-
tor of the Barnard block in the Rox-
bury district this forenoon. Mr. Barn
ard, who is 70 years old, will probably
die. The assault was called to the at
tention of an officer who was also told
that that the janitor of the block had
gone down the street. The officers then
overlook West and conducted him back
to the building where Miss Samaine was
found unconscious on the floor with
three wounds on the head and Mr..
Barnard was semi-conscious in chair,
with three similar wounds.
Lille Jennings, the family servant,
said that West, who is a nephew of Mr..
Barnard, came into the basement and
demanded from Miss Samaine two bank
books. Upon her refusal he seized
small, short handled axe and struck the
woman over the head several times. The
servant went to Miss Samaine's assist
ance and succeeded in holding the man
until Mr.. Barnard arrived. She then
ran up stairs, screaming for assistance,
but before help arrived Mr.. Barnard re-
ceived several cuts over the head. Miss
Samaine, who is 95 years old will
probably recover. Mr. ,Barnard's ex-
treme age and the shock to his SYSTEM
renders his case very critical. West was
taken to the police station and booked
as 40 years old. He was very taciturn
and would not talk of the affair. He
seems to be in terribly excited condi-
ton and doubts are expressed as to his
sanity. He will be arraigned tomor-
row
