those veins extending up around the
outside of the skull are most important.
Analogously it is pointed out that if a
rose tree were to be bound tightly
around the trunk great deal of nutri-
ton would be cut off from the bark.
If, in addition to this, you were to cover
the tree with a great bag and The
mouth tightly around the trunk, the
tree would die. The attitude of the stiff
hat is similar to this. Every time you
pull your derby hat from your head
and it comes loose with jerk you are
overcoming the pounds Of pressure it is
exerting OH the skull.
In order to maintain a healthy growth
the hair must have air. The act of pro-
tecting the head from draughts de-
prives it of nutrition. The derby hat
may be compared to the Black Hole Of
Calcutta. The better class of derby
hats have two little eye'ets placed one
in each side Of the crown, but even
these do little good.
In summer the universal use of the
straw hat is a saving grace, but only
for q time. With the first breath of fall
air we are back to our derbys again,
and the process of hair starving goes
on. Recently there has been a tenn
porary prediction for the soft hat,
but whether that is simply a freak Of
done by stiff hats is hard to determine.

Hord Hats Said to BE Responsible ior
Increasing Loss of Hair.
Are you predisposed to badness Il
so, don't wear q stiff hat. Doctois,
wigmakers, and BARRIERS have said that
the derby and beaver hat are response
BILE for the increasing blight OF bald-
ness. This is interesting in view OF the
rapid progress scientists say we are
making toward absolute badness. Men
have not used their hair for centuries,
and it is slowly becoming less abund-
ant. Woman, on the other hand, mas
used her hair as nature intended 1t to
be used as Il head protector. She mas
never confined it tightly with 4 stiff hat.
Hence it remains to her fine and thick.
The hair depends for it's nutrition on
the blood supply that flows in the tine
veins running over the scalp. Some OF
the veins that supply the hair folllcles
with food come through the skull, but

An Eastern journal, devoted to n.y.
giene and physical culture, highly rec
ommends peanuts as n school luncheon
for boys and girls. 1t sets forth their
great value as food, being both whole
some and nutritious, and also good for
the blood, when properly masticated.
In addition to these properties, unlike
other nuts, they may be eaten at the
end Of 4 hearty meal without overtax-
ing digestion. The attachment between
the child and the plebeian peanut has
long been notorious, and now that a
health journal has recommended it for

for its liberal provision, and the school
houses Of the land will be pervaded
with its decided odor. Just at this
time, however, comes the depressing
news that the peanut crop is short, and
prices are rapidly advancing. 1t is not
unlikely when the news of its health
fulness gets abroad that a peanut trust
will be formed and the unassuming
ground nut will soon be such an object
Of luxury that its use may be confined
to the attendants of the fashionable and
wealthy private schools.

Under the advice of the best and most
courageous Of the friends Of the In
dian, an act for the allotment Of their
tribal lands in seyeralty to the Indians,
under certain conditions, was passed
by Congress in 1884. Since that time
many Of the tribes have apportioned
their lands to their individual members,
and have given UP the tribal life. AS
the Indians to whom lands were so al
lotted were forbidden to sell or other
wise ALLEVIATE their land under twenty
years, and as steps We're taken to start
them as farmers, it was supposed that
the measure would do more to ciyilize
and make them self-Supporting, under
existing conditions, than anything else
has done. Fifteen years have gone by
since the first allotment of lands, and
the public men who were the authors
and most earnest advocates of the sew
crafty law have lately expressed deep
Encouragement with the result. Al
though the Indians cannot yet sell. they
can and do lease their allotted lands
to white men. There are reservations
III the west WucIC pIdCtICdlly jill Tic
farms are rented to white men, while
their owners and their families retire
to unassigned parts of the reservation
and live in the old wild way. Mean
time the vices Of the white men are
communicated to them more readily
than ever before, and they are without
the tribal government and the restraint
Of strong men Of their own race which
often went with it. As Il whole, the
condition of the Indians is undoubtedly
improving, but there are some eases IN
which, under the allotment system,
they have actually refrigerated. The
fact is now apparent that it is difficult
to make self-supporting farmer OF the
Indian in one generation. The Indian
still needs safeguards against corsup-
ton, and above all he needs practlcal
and simple instruction, at his home, n
the few Industrial occupations when
he may be. able to follow.

ISH COMMANDER.
Harsh Measures We're Necessary just
at That Time, and He Ordered an
English Soldier Shot for Insubordin-
ation-It Took Place III India.

.Gen. Lord Roberts Of Kandahar,
T.iplings .Bobs Bahadur,' was the last
English general to order the execution
of a private soldier for insubordlna-
tion,' said visitor to Washington,
who has seen service under her Males
tvs flag.
.It was away back in the los; but
the incident is still very clear in the
memory of old soldiers, and has been
handed down with every possible ex-
aggeration for the delectatlon OF the
.recruitie,' who listens to the barrack-
room tales told for the express purpose
Of striking terror and horror to his I'M
hardened heart.
s'The story is reviviied now. 1t con-
tributes something to illustrate the
man who is beloved and feared by rank
and file, and Notwithstanding his deter
mined and exacting discipline, IS con-
ceded to be England's ranking soldier
among good soldiers.
"The Indian contingent has always
been a ticklish department to handle
Roberts did more than any one man to
bring them to a realization of what dis
cipline really means. To-day, thanks
to him, there is less grumbling, less I'M
easiness, and less chance of revolt than
ever there has been since first the ma
tive wore the uniform, and even now
extreme measures are necessary.
'But Roberts, once upon q time about
hi tened
with serious situation. The native
troops were uneasy. The English SOL
die1g, too. in the case of several regl-
ments that had been kept overtime on
Indian service, were kicking loud and
, strong. The mounting Of the men OF
the English regiments was q bad ex-
ample to the natives. 1t disorganized
everything, and the punishments were
made severe upon offenders who gave
opportunity. But INSTRUMENTATION was
rife. 1t needed but little spark to
kindle the whole command into blaze,
in which many lives must have been
sacrificed and the prestige Of the COM
manding officer lost.
"One day 4 drunken private was in
solent to q corporal Of one Of the regl-
ments. The 'non-com.' ordered the man
to the guard house. A lance-corporal
of the room called out a file Of men.
One Of these refused to act as escort.
He had slept in the next bed to the
prisoner for years, he protested They
were army bed chums.' He, too, was
made prisoner, and the charge of in
subordination and refusal to obey or
ders entered against him. 1t was a
high crime. A general court martial
was ordered, the man was sentenced to
be shot, and the sentence was approved
by Gen. Roberts.
Before the assembled regiments at
Calcutta he was taken out and died ig-
ANONYMOUSLY with his face to the wall.
''It was terrible and effective les
son. The spirit Of INSTRUMENTATION was
dead, but the department issued an or
der, relgiously observed since then, to

The American author can no longer
complain of neglect, according to the
statistics furnished by the Bookman,
which publishes q monthly list Of the
books most generally in demand as
shown by the reports of news dealers.
These reports prove that in November,
1895, the five most popular books were
all by foreign authors. A year later
two Americans had found their way
into the list. The same condition pre-
vailed in 1897, showing that the Ameri-
can authors were able to hold their
own. In 1898 the leading sales en- :.
braced three works by American au-
tbors, Kipling's days Work. and
Weyman's "Castle Inn" alone repre-
senting the English authors. The final
triumph came in 1899, when the five

"David Harum,' ''When Knighthood
Was in Flower and ''Via Crucis." 1t
is especially noteworthy that Of these
five books three are on American sub.
jects, in which the keenest interest is
now being taken. One Of the healthi-
est signs Of the times is that each book
which is included in the list is whole
some. clean and untainted with that
French realism which was so much in
demand few years ago. Books Of
that character no longer find an enor-
NOUS sale in the United States. The
public sentiment demands something Of
a different character. Whether the
time has come for q distinctive Ameri-
can literature is problematical, but no
one can deny that with the close of the
century we are laying q substantial
foundation for it.

In an address before the Irish Liter
airy Society on "John Philpot Curran,"
Lord Russell Of Killowen, the Chief
Justice, declared the value Of oratory
to a lawyer is overrated. He asserted
that it is an important vehicle for argu-
ment and for the enunciation and en-
forcement Of great principles. but,
he said, ''there is q tendency to run to
seed in this regard, and to look upon flu
ency Of speech as if it were oratory."
Gifts Of speech could never attain to
their real momentum and power until
founded upon substratum Of care
fully acquired knowledge and upon
solid argument. The opinion Of the
Lord Chief Justice is that Of most men
who have considered the subject. The
art of oratorical flights is, in the opin-
ion Of the Chicago Tribune, less prac.
ticed, not so much because men are
less able to make such speeches, but
because they have lost their value.
They are of slight use before juries and
Of no use with judges. There is a pop
ular disposition to distrust the man

gifts of speech when he makes an adj
dress. The public, being more en-
lightened, has come to weigh argu-
ments more carefully. When the ora
tor is able to appeal to the passion Of
the moment he is sometimes influen-
tial, but there his power ends. This is
why the leaders Of the bar to-day are
not great orators, but rather men with
the carefully acquired knowledge
which they are able to present logically
to the Judge or jury they would con-
vince.
