TIE TRIPARTITE AGREEMENT

There are signs of an understanding
between the governments of the United
States, Germany and England The
agreement is not set forth in terms bu!
seems to be we'll understood. The Ger
man papers speak unreseryedly of tho
moral support Germany is giving Eng
land in the South African war. which
prevents the interference of other Euro
pean nations. Germany has taken the
same attitude toward England that the
latter did toward the United States III
the Spanish war.
The division of the Samoan Islands
on terms apparently satisfactory to the
three. is an evidence of mutual good
WI. The pretended aggression of Rus
STA is the pretext for this triple alliance.
Germany is no doubt inclined to cease
to be irritated by England if her friend
ship will prevent an alliance between
France and Russia. Germany does not
fear France, but does fear the outcome
of its persistent dislike which would
prompt If to encourage and second the
ambitious designs of Russia if thereby
Germany could be Inundated. England
always profits by the alliances she makes.
Two European nations powerful as
these are, on terms of amity and pledged
to mutual support, can dominate the af-
fairs of Europe. This proceeding is in
the form of a trust. But why should
the United States be party to IT.
Why should this country, without hope
of reward, NEEDLE in the intricate
problem Of European national affairs

For Falling Hair.

"E. S. E." writes as follows to the
New York Sun:
About ten years ago the Sun publish
ed a letter from Alabama, in which it
was stated that an old colored barber
1ad the only remedy to stop hair from
falling out. 1t happened that my hall
was falling out at that time, and | test.
ed the remedy. In a fortnight my hail
was as firmly rooted as in boyhood.
Five years later, when again threatened
with badness, l tried it with the same
result. A w~ell-known gentleman in
Wall street was in such dread of bald.
ness that he told me he had tried every
known remedy without any benefit
whatever. | prepared and presented
him with a bottle, and have received
word from him hal it has wrought a
perfect cure. When a mans head is
bald SO that his pate shines, the roots
are dead, and they can no more be re-
stored to vigor than a man who is dead
and buried can be brought back to life;
but when his hair begins to fall out,
the roots are i'll or weak, and it is pos
sible to cure and restore them to their
old-time vigor. This is all that can be
done, and any one threatened with
badness has the remedy in his own
hands. Here Is the recipe: Fill a pint
bottle not quite full with alcohol; then
shove into the bottle all the fresh pine
%shavings that it will hold. A great
many can be thus introduced, since they
absorb the alcohol. Let it stand several
days, shaking now and then to help the
process of absorption. The prepare
zion is then ready. Saturate the hair
with 1t morning and night, rubbing 1t
into the scalp with the ends of the fin
gers. 1t is we'll to iltrate the fluid
through porous paper, so as to free 1t
from particles of the dust of the wood.
1t will come out as clear as crystal. A
few drops of glycerine should be added,
as otherwise the mixture Is apt to make
the hair slightly harsh, and if desired,
any kind of perfume may be given. 1t
Is the pine shavings and alcohol, how
ever, which do the work, and there Is
no wash ever made for the hair that can
;urpass or equal the virtue of this one,
which is within the reach of every per
son. -.

performer who had already achieved
success in Russia and mastered an ex

months that you have a repertory; .yOu

The verdict was a serious one and
Paderewski gave it "A serious consider

assumed the title of somebody and COM

employed some members of the fair
sex, who, dressed in the height of fash
ion, used the most fashionable per-
fumes, and then visited singly the best
apo~thecaries' shop. One of these fair,
false emissaries would stop her cab at

That same day the chemist bought
the elixir wholesale, laying in a fair
stock of 1t, and meanwhile many OF
the eonfreres were doing likewise. But,
as nobody called any more on the oblig-
ing chemists to buy the elixir, one of
the curious confraternity analysed this
specific which was supposed to relieve
rheumatics. He found that it was at
least perfectly harmless, consisting of
water colored by coffee grounds. The
police were then let loose upon the Ia
dies and the chemical agents, but they
had all moved on, leaving no address.
They are said to have netted about TO-
