Early Piety.

Several of our young men who were
fast losing their ciowning glories through
flying alkali and excessive energy say
the following recipe will grow hair
on a locomotive boiler if applied regu-
larly. Fill a pint bottle not quite full
of alcohol: then shove into the bottle
all the fresh pine shavings that it will
hold. A great many can be thus intro
dnced, since they absorle the alcohol.
Let it stand several days, shaking now
and then to help the process of ABSORB
ton. The preparation is then ready.
Saturate the hair with it morning and
night, rubbing it into the scalp with the
ends OF the fingers. 1t is well to filtu-
rate the tiuid through porous paper, so
as to free it from particles of dust Of the
wood. H. will come ont ~ clear as crys-
tai. A few drops of gh cerine should BIZ
added, az otherwise the mixture is apt
to make the hair slightly harsh, and il
desired, any kind OF perfume may be
given. 1t liz the pine shavings and alco-
hol, however, which do the work, and
there isno wash ever made for the hair
that can strpass or equal the vertue OF
this one, which is within the reach OF
every person.

The machine is designed to dig bitches

the wheels swing at an angle, being
hung on a knuckle joint.
1t is calculated to work about twenty

A Very Great Mans Very Small Act.

In the account Of the great oration to Ad.
miral Dewey last week the following occurs !:
In less than q minute after the Chicago had
passed the Olympia by the Admirars order,
stream Of signal flags ordered the vessels or
the feet to dress ship, and the crews Of the
men.ofwar ran up rainbows of signal flags
from stem to stern over their topmasts.
The order was beautifully executed, except
aboard the flag ship where the fonling OF the
delay. Admiral Dewey instant tly roared out
q command for some one to ease the line. 1t
fouled again. and nimble sailor was sent
aloft to clear 1t. It was perhaps two minutes
before the flags were in their proper place.
The Admiral was plainly dispieased. He
order was executed and called him upon the
II am ashamed Of this" he said in the tone
Of aailor giving command In roaring gale,
"and am ashamed Of you."
And the world will be Ashamed. not OF
Dewey, but OF his shabby treatment Of an
humble sailor. who, with all the rest Of the
world, was trying to do honor to him.
This newspaper is very sorry for Deweys
ex hibition Of temper and bad manners. 1t
was neither brave nor civil in the great Ad.
miral to behave thus to the humblest Great.
ure under his command.
Except in this instance, Dewey's conduct
has excited admiration for the man, and re.
spect for his gentlemanly department. But
we have very little respect for the man who
assumes the role Of bully, especially when he
can do 80 with safety to himself. The bully
seldom gains the great respect OF any people.
