in other directions.
8. Frankey got large quantity of wire
netting and inclosed large area of
the river, so that when the water low
cred he would have fish to supply by
the hundredweight. He had two men
working pretty steadily all summer
around that inclosure, and it appeared
to be alive with fish. The netting was
sunk down in the soft mud, and Paci-
tic waited patiently for the harvest
which he confidently expected awaited
him when the waters receded and FISH
became scarcer. But his plans turned
out some different from what he ex-
pected. The willy carp wanted to get
out of that inclosure, and they put
their heads together and planned their
escape. They couldn't get over the
wire, but they went down into the
soft mud and dug holes under the wire
and through these holes fully 1000
pounds of fish, which Frankey ex-
pected to ship to the New York mar
ket at a good price, all escaped into

Olive Oil For the Hair.

don its use from the very disagreeable
after affects of the trea tment.'
All authorities on the subject oi
hair doctoring agree that the natural
oil of the hair, iudiciously augmented
by an artifcially applied oil, will be
of material benefit in producing luxuri-
ant, glossy tresses and prevent the
long ends from splitting and the hair
from falling out, for the reason that
the roots are properly nourished.
Another reason why some good oil
should be carefully applied to the
roots of the hair is the necessity OF
keeping the scalp loose from the head,
and by this means permitting the ma
tural oil of the hair to nourish it as
nature intended it should.
1t has been found that the best,
purest olive oil, purchased at some
reliable grocery or in small quantities
from the drug store, has all the medi-
cinal qualities of kerosene without
any of its disagreeable after effects.
Only use very little at time, dip

ing not moro than half teaspoonful
of the very best oil. Then massage
the scalp thoroughly (not letting the
oil touch the long ends of the hair

that the scalp feels almost dry.
This treatment applied once week

the country, has seven Representa-
tives in the Fifty-sixth Congress, bat,
Notwithstanding the evenness of the
division between the two parties, six
of these Congressmen are Republi-
cans and only one is Democrat. In the
Presidential election of 1896 the con-
test between the two parties was so
close that the electors were divided,
Mckinley receiving eight votes and
Bryan one. In the Presidential cleo
ton of 1892 the Republican plurality
was less than 80 votes, and so close
was the State that Cleveland received
eight of the electors and Harrison one.
California divided its electors in 1880
also, when the Democratic plurality
was only 100 votes.

A Delayed Wedding Fee.

1t is easy to sympathize with a GER
tain Yorkshire clergyman who, after
pronouncing q couple man and wife,
was asked by the groom what the
charge was.

fixed charges in such matters, but
that he might give what he thought
proper.

The clergyman protested that he
could not accept fee of such a
character. 1t would be quite impos-
sible.
The bride and groom went home,
and the marriage must have turned
out very happily, for before a month
was over the parson received crate
containing fine greyhound pup, ac-
companied by note from John, say
ing that Marie had proved such a
treasure that he was glad to give the

Old Lady Could Not BE Fooled.

Miss Elizabeth Alden Curtis, the

dents by the men who manage the
university hops. There were girls at
the hops, but almost all of them came
from out Of town, and were not coedu.
cational girls at all. Tie goods felt
sighted, not unnaturally. Then there
came certain clashes regarding rights.
The boarding house people charged
the same rate for women as for men,
but exacted of the girls that they
should take care of their own rooms,
whereas the mems beds were made for
them. When the girls said that was
not businesslike the men stood by the
landladies. Then the girls started an
opposition to smoking about the COL
lege buildings, and the men said that
the girls had no college spirit; and SO
it has gone, until apparently the men
would as lief there were no girls in
the university, and the girls feel that
they could get on just as we'll if all
the men were dropped.
This is an interesting development.
1t will seem to some readers that a
measure of estrangement between
these young people is not wholly to
be regretted. In the East, where
mixed colleges are not so common as
in the West, we are used to think
that the danger of them is that the
men and the girls will be too much
interested in one another, rather than
too little, and suffer from mental dis
fractions in consequence If we are
right, the present condition at Ann

is danger of revulsion OF feeling, fol.

The unusual spectacle of judge in
tears was witnessed at Cardiff, Wales,
when Mr.. Justice Bucknill pro-
nounced the capital sentence for the
first time in his judicial career. The
sentence was on woman, and the
Judge, whose voice was very shaky
from the first words of the sentence,
entirely broke down at the end and
burst into tears. The scene, espec-
tally after the pathetic appeal of the
prisoner for mercy for the sake of her
children, was almost without parallel
in the annals of trials. Even the
leading counsel were obliged to use
little subterfuges to hide their emo
ton. -Tit-Bits.
