One of PENIS Deeds.

A deed from William Penn came to
light in Chester last week. 1t is dated
1902, and, owing to it's great antiquity
and excellent state of preservation, is
an object of much curiosity. An inter-
esting feature in connection with the
deed is that the original grant of land
conveyed by Penn was made to Thomas
Minshall, descendant, the deed never
having passed out of the possession OF
the Minshall family. The grant is In
Middletown township, Delaware Coun-
ty, and consisted of 753 acres of land.
The parchment is huge affair. and
connected with it by a piece of blue
string is the SEAL of red wax. four
inches across. The face bears the in
scription: 1859 Truth. Peace, Love
and Plentey.'' In the center are three
ears of corn and a vine. On the re-
verse side is inscribed: william Penn,
Chief Proprietor and Governour of PEN
silvania.'' These words are in the CEN
ter, while at the top and bottom are the
words Mercy" and Justice" The seal
is carefully preserved in round tin
box, and does not bear a scratch.-Phil-

Sardou at Rehearsals.

Nine. Sarah Bernhardt has begun the
rehearsals of La Tosce," the play she
is to revive at the Theatre des Nations
at an early date. In an interesting
letter, from which 1 send you some ex-
tracts, the great actress describes NJ.
Sardou's mode of conducting rehear-
sails:
What has always specially struck
me-, says Nine. Bernhardt lis the very
personal character of NJ. Sardou's meth
DDS. He gives his attention in the
first place to the minor roles. AS the
work advances he proceeds on larger,
more general lines, until it seems as
if the stage is too small, and one pines
for more space in which to allow the
action of the piece to develop unham-
pered by material limitations.
1T is said that NJ Sardou is very
masterful when conducting rehearsals
1 have found him, on the contrary, most
conciliatory, and ever ready to adopt
the suggestions of others when they
deserve to be taken into consideration.
He regards even the stage carpenters,
the scene-shifters and the firemen as
part OF the public, and is careful to
note and to take hints from their i'm
to the practice of Alexandra Dumas
Like Dumas, too, he is not oversensi-
tive as to the fate of his prose. and
never hesitates to cut his text when
necessary. Nothing escapes his notice.
He pays attention to even the pettiest
details. He tries the chairs, sees that
the doors open and shut readily,
chooses the dress materials and the up
holstery, studies the perspective from
the auditorium, and mounts to the up
per galleries so as to assure himself
that the public in the cheap seats can
see and hear everything. He lives all
the roles, and at every rehearsal acts
the entire play right through three OF
four times over.
He is very sensitive to cold, and al
ways makes his appearance muffled up
in furs and a comforter. He hands his
coat to an attendant, complains at once
of the draughts, puts his coat on again,
and again dispenses with it, About 3
O'Clock he takes some slight refresh
ment, usually glass of port and cakes
which he shares with his actors and
actresses. While thus engaged he in
varlably relates a string of anecdotes,
of which he has an inexhaustible fund,
bearing for the most part of course on
the theater, but very often, too, on
spiritualism, a subject in which he is
deeply interested. Paris correspond

altered slightly. but the general scheme
will be carried out on precisely these

The stock market has shown a de-

where there has not been a sale at

To Preserve the Hair.

What has made the hair thin? And
what makes it fall out? In occasional
cases there is some slight scalp disease
due to the presence of some one of the
bacilli family whose mission on earth is
! to annoy mankind, Such troubles must
be cared for by those physicians who
make speciality of skin diseases. But
nine times out of nine and a half the
trouble comes from defective circulation
and thin blood. The doctor has to treat
the general condition of the system, but
the patient can herself give the local
treatment to the hair.
IT Is very simple, and lies within the
power OF all, yet very many fail to
get good results because of lack of per-
sistence. Friction and perseverance are
the two words that embody the secret
| of keeping the, hair from falling.
| To amplify, and to follow the process
from it's first step, let me say that a
shampoo is the primary requisite. The
cleansing preparation for this purpose
| is best made of green soap, an article
resembling soft soap and smelling like
| melon seeds. 1t is found at the chem
lists only, and has a hygenic value alb
sent in most soaps. Some chemists keep
| it in liquefied form slightly perfumed,
especially prepared for the scalp.
| If it cannot be thus obtained make
shampoo of the following ingredients:
One ounce of green soap, 1 tablespoon
of powdered borax, the white of an egg,
and pint of very warm water. Dis
solve the borax in the egg, beating
slightly; put the soap into bottle and
add the hot water, and shake well; then
add the egg and borax, and shake until
all is well blended. This is the receipt
OF famous physician, and is the least
expensive shampoo that can be had.
little perfume may be considered an
agreeable addition.
Once a month is as often as the hair
should be washed. I am aware that
doctors often prescribe more frequent
shampooing, but observation and ex-
perience both show me the mistake of
much washing. After the shampoo treat
the head to a thorough rubbing with
some tonic, to aid the process.
Bad cases must have the rubbing
night and morning for a time, but once
day will be sufficient ordinarily, and
some persons can get along with two or
three times week. These are the ones
Who are benefited by the treatment at
various hair-d -dressers.
Four onto the scalp little of the
tonic, after having divided the hair with
q comb, and rub lightly with the balls
of the fingers When the entire scalp
is moistened, put the bottle down, and
Will. all ten fingers manipulate the
scalp, moving it on the skull in prefer
ence to giving it sharp superficial
friction. The object of this treatment
is to increase sluggish circulation. The
blood alone nourishes the hair, and if
its supply is scant the hair cannot live.

THE EMIR OF .GARuA.
An African Potentate Surrounded
by Mail-CIad Warriors.

An acquaintance of mine who has
lived some considera BILE time in the up
per reaches of the Binue sends me an
interesting account of the meeting with
the Fulani Emir of Garua. The ac-
count as a piece of unwritten history
affords an attractive peep into a little
known world. where the picturesque has
not yet disappeared before the al-level-
ing properties of civilization and the
Maxim gun.
ut was in August, 1895" says my
correspondent, when l was at Yola
(Yola is on the Binue and is the capital
of the Fulani State of Adamawa, one of
Sokoto's tributary provinces), on the
floating hulk Africa, anchored off the
town, that a native came and told me
the Emir of Garua had arrived and was
waiting on the river bank to see me.
| went on shore, and was rewarded by
a very picturesque sight. Seated on a
grass mat was a man of about 40 years
of age. A tall, 1.-THE, finely made high
caste Fulani, in color almost white-one
OF the pure breed, that has never inter-
mingled with the native element. Round
his shoulders hung white robe, spot
lessly clean, and lined with shining
indigo-dyed cloth. He wore baggy
green silk trousers and sandals, and on
his head was fixed one of the enormous
Kano straw hats some three feet in
circumference. He was surrounded by
some thirty or forty soldiers, armed
with swords and spears and a few rifles.
What greatly struck me was the ar
NOR worn by these soldiers. They had
surcoats of chain mail and helmets on
which the sun glinted. 1t made an ex-
traordinary picture-there in that wild
place, 800 miles in the interior of the
continents scene from some medieval
play in savage Africa. The armor, I
afterward ascertained came from
Bornu. The Emir greeted me very
coolly in the Fulani tongue. and held
out his hand without rising. He hoped
to receive a present, but 1 did not offer
him one, and he was too proud to ask.
We parted after the usual interchange
of courtesies- 1t was one Of the most
interesting interviews / ever held in
Africa-or elsewhere, for the matter Of
that."-London Globe.

"reminiscences of Professor Menzel,
since his admission into the High Or
der of the Black Eagle, have become a
favorite topic with writers in the Ger
man periodicals. 1t appears that the
Painter Of the HohenZOllerns," as he
has been justly called, did not in the
earlier stages of his career enjoy the
measure of esteem now extendd to him
at the Berlin Court. Perhaps his most
famous picture is the Flute Concert"
OF Frederick the Great. 1t owes it's Pc
cullar charm to light effects. The artist
has manipulated with admirable skill
the reflections cast by the candles in the
otherwise somber chamber at Sans
Souci. In order to secure the most
natural result, Menzel petitioned the
Marshal of the court for permission to
have the chamber in question lighted at
his own expense. The petition was re-
fused. Later on the painter had a seri-
GUS disagreement with the old Emperor
William The sum of $4,000 thalers
had been granted him for the prepara-
ton OF his monumental coronation pic
ture- Owing to incessant changes in
the personnel of the chief officers of
state, Menzel found himself obliged to
add face after face and group after
group 10 his original design.
On the completion of the picture he
therefore demanded 10000 thalers in
stead Of the $4,000 thalers originally
agreed on. This, however, the King re-
fused to grant. The artist then declared
that he would not part with the picture.
but would retain it for the decoration of
his own house. Prolonged negotiations
ensued. and at last the King proposed
that the work should be submitted to
the Academy of Arts, and With that
body should rest the decision as to its
value. Menzel cherished but little re-
spect for that body, however, and as
serted that it could boast of no men,
Der competent to sit in judgment on his
picture. The King then resigned him
self to the inevitable and granted the
l6CCO thalers. Unfortunately the work.
on coming into possession of his ma
Jesty, aroused the indignation of Queen
Augusta. Menzel, to use his own words,
is no friend of the fair sex until they

longer needs to pay them court While
