II is significant of Chinese shrewdness
that none of the dispatches that are be-
ing received by the Powers from their
ministers at Pekin, are dated. 1t is NOT
in che least probable that all of the min
listers would persistently neglect to date
their communications. especially IN view
of the importance of their governments
knowing the dates upon which matters
reported by them occurred. 1t appears
therefore, that the Chinese censor makes
IL an invariable rule to run his blue PEN
Gil Through the date lines. What is his
object? There must be some reason.

of the case. 1t certainly appears that
there is room for such indictments.

ALLEGED REASONS.
why widows Make the Best Wives and
Are In Demand.

Why widows Make the Best Wives and
Are In Demand.
Widows are popular in the marriage
market. Father Philip McEnvoe Of
South Bethlehem. Penn, who has re-
Gently been making some original in
vestigations into the question of mar
riage, reports that what strikes him
most forcibly Is 'the extraordinary de-
mand for widows" He announces that
rs per cent of the would-be husbands
in his parish express a preference for
widows. Men prefer widows for good
reasons A widow is more apt to make
home happy, because she is more set
tied and domestic. She is more pru-
dent She Is likely to think more Of
her household duties and less Of finery.
A widow has more sensible idea OF
what marriage means. She has devel-
oped beyond the sentimental stage
and knows that life Is not all love and
kisses. She understands the needs OF
a home. She does not expect her hus-
band to be content with a smile when
the house is untidy and the dinner
spoiled. A study of the records Of the
divorce court will show that when a
man marries widow there is less dan
ger of trouble in the home. Too many
young girls have no idea of wife's
home duties. Imagine a young wo-
man with any degree Of social standing
in New York marrying poor man
and going into the kitchen to cook the
beefsteak and sweep the floor! Such
wives we're common forty years ago.
Marriages are based more and more
upon money, instead Of upon congeni-
ality and cooperation. Young girls
read the fashion notes until their only
idea of marriage is to find rich hus-
band who will pay their millinery
and dressmaking bills. So it is natu-
raj that young men who want wives
are expressing preference for wild
ows. In the struggle for success no
man wants to be hampered by life
partner who will not share his efforts.

But she shakes her head, her poor,
sad eyes seeing only the figure in the
dock. the man with the handsome.
miserable face, that gets paler and
more desperate as the case goes on.
He glances at his mother once, with a
world of sorrowful pity in his gaze,
and his self-control deserts him for a
moment.
The judge is summing up, and every
sentence, every clear, cutting word tells
against the prisoner. 1t is scathing
speech, in which the jury are entreated
to lay aside any thoughts of the pris-
oner's position, of his youth, only to
remember that hideous crime has
been committed; and he begs them to
do their duty fearlessly, conscien-
tiously before God. and faithfully be-
tween the Crown and the prisoner at
the bar.

Early Postage In England.

Articles of value could be sent il an
account Of then we're given at the
office. In I'LL an act was passed abol-
ishing the penny post. They were taxed
with the rates and stamped with the
mark of the general postofice, and
the rate was l shilling per ounce for
parcels. Letters could be carried
eighty miles for pence; letters more
than eighty miles, ) pence and pence.
A letter to Dublin cost pence single,
and double letters 1 shilling. and 1
shilling and pence an ounce. For
eign postage was not expensive. In
1705, for instance. letter Of single
sheet could be carried to the West In
dies for shilling and pence, and in
170S Mr.. Povey established foot post
carrying letters in the London district
only, for half penny: 1t was not
long. however, before the postal au-
thorities stopped him.

TO PREVENT Badness.
Sugg for Preserving the Hair b

Suggestions for Preserving the Hair BY
n Dermatoiogist.
The men of my fathers generation
habitually used pomades on the scalp.
To protect the hair coverings frcm the
grease on their heads tides came into
vogue. Then the pendulum swung
the other way, and now pomades Of all
kinds are tabooed. That there has
been a great increase in badness
among young men of the present gen.
GRAFTON is a general impression, al
though | know of no statistics to sup
port or refute 1t. Some fifteen years
ago, when / first became interested in
the study of diseases of the hair,
accepted the teaching Of the time that
pomades did no good, and, becoming
rancid, did positive harm. With en-
larging experience am becoming
more and more convinced thai was
wrong and that one reason why the
hair is lost SO early nowadays is be-
cause the sons havs forsotten the
teachings and practice Ct their fathers
in regard to the use of pomades. They
neither use pomades nor seek to stlmu-
late the natural oily supply to the hair
by systematic brushing. Instead
they daily wet their heads with water
to enable them to arrange their hair.
BY not using pomades and by wetting
the hair instead Of brushing 1t their
hair becomes more and more dry, dan
druf increases, and their hair falls. l
believe that IL boys were trained to
brush their hair thoroughly every
night and morning and had little po-
made that would not turn rancid, such
as contains sulphur or salycilic acid.
for instance, rubber into their scalps
once a week or SO, and avoided wetting
their heads, badness in the rising gen.

is in this.-Medical News.
