a curious hair restorative is being
tried at present in a certain circle, its
efficacy having been discovered in the
oddeet way imaginable, says writer
in Vogue. A welllknown actress was
starring, about two years ago, in a
popular melodrama, which, among
other bits Of realism, included an ex-
plosicn that sent shower of dust and
dirt down on the head Of the heroine.
In the course OF months the actress no

this continual baptism of debris was
de,eterious in its effects as her hair
began to fall out in such quantities
that finally, a bare spot was developed
en- the frent of her head, and toward
the end OF the runshe was a Thin locked
young woman. AS she was busily en-
gagged rehearsing a new play, she had
no time to experiment with restora-

Easton, Md, March 11.-Windy Hill,
the post office for the Bambury sec

AT Barber, new post office two miles

p. m. the day of publication, and four
miles away eighteen hours later. What
adds to the complexity Of the present
is the fact that the mail
messenger from the steamboat wharf

year and the carrier from Trappe to
Barber receives SIC a year, amounting
to enough to make a through service
from Trappe to Windy Hin, to say
nothing CT what the government pays
the railroad and steamboat companies
for the present service.
The opening Of new roads, the build,
ing Of bridges and the erection OF
wharves on the Choptank have brought
about a great development throughout
the whole Bam.bury section Of Talbot
county, and it is no longer spoken OF
slightingiy, as it was a few years ago
It is a great trucking, fishing and trap

tomatoes, corn, peas and other vege-
tables is advancing more rapidly there
than anywhere else in Talbot county
and the population is increasing more
rapidly The shipping facilities are
fairly good and postal facilities ar'
