GO HArLEss TO GROW HAIR.

In the town of Madrone, twenty miles
south Of San Jose, nature has revealed
a new potency for building up degen.
Grating humanity. From the air OF
Santa Clara Valley has been drawn the
natural elements Of hair growing, an6
these elements have been focused upor
the heads Of two men who have de.
experiment. These men compose the
male portion Of the family known ir
Madrone as "the hatless Peets." They
never wear hats. In the burning sun.
in the pouring rain, in winds and in
fogs, by daylight and night, the Poets
go their way u%ntopped by aught save
natures hirsute coverlet. For more
than a year the brothers Peet have been
bareheaded. They are likely to remain
ba~reheaded for the rest Of their days.
The brothers Peet are sons Of the late
Rev. Robert B.. Peet, who died Of heart
failure very suddenly about a "a ago
while sitting in a chair in a church at
Palo Alto.
Mr.. Peet was a Presbyterian divine.
He went from n district to another
In this state, lending thereto the profits
of his learning and Of his goodness as
long as he was spared to an unworthy
world.
During his protracted itinerancy he
made his headquarters at a beautiful
home near Madrone, where his wife,
a daughter and two IONS have resided
permanently since their arrival here
from the east. some twelve years ago.
Now the daughter Is abroad. The two
sons and the mother still abide afiuent-
ly at the old place.
They are people of cultivated tastes.
In their home in the Madrone country
they have surrounded themselves with
art and literature and music: when
they go forth from their d%ooryards
they ride in swell trap with a tandem
pair Of thoroughbreds, or go astride of
well groomed ponies. The Madronites
call them English. That is the penalty
of aristocracy in Madrone.
This going without a hat is a hail
raising proposition. 1t has raised a
great crop Of hair for the Poets, who
were almost bald when they began un-

our friends, the glory and usefulness o.
our country, and the independence and
triumph Of the church are all involved
Now, how are we, as worshippers Of the
Lord Jesus Christ, going to meet thii
situation7
II the army Of a foreign foe were
threatening country, then oul
church would a to the young men

lessly go to the front and in battle fight
like a lion. 1t would say to the women
and those past the age for service in
battle: Trust God, and give your sym.
pathy and heroic cheer to those who
fight your cause.
The patriotic duties before us do not
require that we neglect the spiritual in.
~terests Of u church; but they call
upon US to make our church an inspi-
ration to the American people in their
patriotic endeavors. We are not called
upon to forget our religion, but III re-
ligion is called upon to be our banner
bearer as we go forth to duty.
Many people permit themselves to
wear out in regretting that things are
as they are. Religion does not look
regretfully behind, but it looks exult-
ingly forward. The existence and
power of the trust is the unhallowed
fact that which we are obliged to look
square in the eyes. Religion inspires
the question: What are we going to do
with this fact?
The first duty which the situation
gives US to perform is the task Of en-
tightening ourselves so that we will
make no mistake in taking sides, be-
cause, sooner or later, we all will be
forced to take sides in the impending
struggle.
In entering upon a study of the Is
sues before us, we should endeavor to
rise above former prejudices; we should
ignore personal interest; we should
come into warm sympathy with the in
terests Of the people; we should cast
out every aristocratic and class feeling
as we would cast out Satan; we sshould
be wary Of the sophistries of politicians,
Of partisan newspapers and of all those
who argue for the purpose of protect
ing selfish interests. We should study
with the single purpose of understand
ing how we might help in the right
eous solution of these. problems.
We know that men can be dead to
poetry, dead to art, dead to history,
dead to music. dead to science, dead to
literature, with apparently nothing but
their five vibrating senses alive; but
the worst death that a living man can
experience is that sleep of ignorance
and cold-heartedness which separates
him from the great people who are
contemporaneous with him.
Religion is a protest against all forms
Of death. "And what I say unto you I
say unto you all. Watch"

Music hath charms to soothe the
savage beast" wrote the poet. but sci
entists are not content with the dreams
of poets, and SO interesting experiments
as to the effect of music on animals
have lately been made in London and
Paris.
In London it was found that the mo-
ment the monkeys heard a violin or q
flute playing q lively air they were
quiet and listened intently. The ele-
plants took no notice Of the music
whatever. nor did the rhinoceros seem
to care whether he had music at dinner
time OF not. The hippopotamus. how
ever. rose and wagged his huge head
from side to side and again sank back
greatly excited by the sound Of the mu-
sic, rushing against the bars Of his
cage and then pacing up and down until
the music ceased. The pumas jumped
up at the first notes Of Home, Sweet
Home and came forward with signs
OF satisfaction. The coyote came up to
the bars Of its cage. and when the
music stopped put out its paw as II

opening his mouth and signing or gur-
Cling.
In the experiments conducted at Paris
II was found that few Of the animals
appeared to be at all sensible to the
charms Of melody. Two musicians, with
flute and clarinet, performed for the
experiments. When they played be-
fore the bear pit the bears looked all
around them. scented the air. and then
walked toward the musicians and paced
up and down the pit.
In the next cage were Q vulture. Q
condor and some eagles. The condor
seemed to be the most powerfully NOV
ed by the melodies. The eagles were
aroused only at the most strident tones
OF the flute, remaining digniiedly stat.
uesque at the rest Of the music. The
penguins Immediately marched around
the yard in time to the music.

Magnet,zed Cards.

There are fakirs who pretend to
have the ability to magnetic a pack Of
cards, and in that way to be able to
hold a whole pack suspended from the
palm Of the hand with apparently no
other support. The fakir first shows .
pack Of playing cards Of the ordinary
type and invites the bystanders to ex-
anime them. After the examination has
been completed the fakir lays the pack
down in front Of him, and. placing his
left hand palm downwards on a table
takes up the cards, n by one, and
tucks them under his hand. The first
card 10 put under his fingers, the next
one parallel to this, under the main
part Of the palm, and the next two are
tucked under the sides Of his hand, but
on top Of the ends Of the other two.
Then, in order. all the others are tucked
In between these four and hand. When
they are all In place, the fakir draws
his hand carefully to the edge Of the
table and then clear Of It. and the cards
all remain suspended. When a sufficient
amount of wonder has been produced
by the trick the fakir sells the secret Of
it to any n for q shilling.
The trick is clever, but It can be done
without buying the secret from the IA
kir. The secret lies in having a button
concealed in the hand. which has bit

A marked Improvement has been in
troduced by the English in the form of
the submarine spyglass used in Ber-
muda for viewing those wonderful flow

commonly called the water glass;" is
simply a square funnel of wood, with
a pane Of glass closing the smaller end.
This closed end is lowered into the
water, the open top remaining above
the surface, the object being to avoid
the blur caused by the ripples.
The Improvement consists in exactly
reversing this arrangement by leaving
the small end of the box open and clos
ing the other with a much larger sheet
Of glass. If this becomes misted it
can be cleared merely by running a lit
tie water over it. The whole thing is
about two feet in length. Though the
glass is not a lens, but perfectly plain,
the effect is said to be simply magical.

Baltimore Sun:-"There is no i'm
perialism," declares President McKin-
ley in his letter of acceptance. From
president down to the humblest SPELL
binder and organ grinder the republi-
cans are kept busy protesting that an
evil which does exist in a palpable
form really has no existence. Their
denials are based upon the assumption
that the American people are so dull
witted that they are unable to under
stand the difference between Repub!i-
can government and the kind of gov
ernment which has been established
in Porto Rico and which is ultimately
to be forced upon the Filipinos.

Shah's World Clock.

The Shah C. Persia, now in Paris.
is apparently determined to keep level
with the times. He has just bought q
clock for his private use which will
show him at a glance the time, not
only at Teheran, but at twelve other
places scattered across the world.
When he gets up in the morning he
will be able to tell to a second how
the world is wagging, from Washing
ton to Pekin, from Yokohama to
Berlin, from Rome to Paris, London,
St. Petersburg, Vienna, or Bombay, to
Teheran or Samarcand. The central
dial of the clock, which shows Teher-
an time, is surrounded with smaller
dials giving the corresponding hour
In the other cities named Messrs.
Bensons, of Ludgate, have made this
remarkable timepiece. The dials are
set in richly-engraved ormolu, and the
figures are, of course, in Persian. But
the case is ornamental with the rose,
thistle, and shamrock, on either side
of the Prince of Wales feathers!
