A WOMAN, TO BE PRETTY.
Must Have Luxuriant and Glossy Hail
No Matter What Color.

The finest contour of a female face,
the sweetest smile of female mouth,
loses something if the head is crowned
with scant hair. Scant and falling hair
it is now known, is caused by a parasite
that burrows into the scalp to the root
of the hair, where it saps the vitality.
The little white scales the germ throws
up in burrowing are called dandruff.
To cure dandruff permanently, then to
stop falling hair, that germ must be
killed. Noid's "Antiseptic Dandruff
Cure and Hair Tonic" the newest re-
suit of the chemical labratory, DESTROYS
the dandruff germ and of course stops
the falling hair and cures badness,
When you kill the germ you can't have
dandruH or thin hair.

SUNDAY AFTERNOONS.

From the window of the chapel softly
sounds an organs note,
Through the peaceful Sabbath cleaning
drifting shreds of music float,
And the quiet and the freight and the
sweetly solemn tunes
Bear me dreaming back to boyhood and
its Sunday afternoons;
When we gathered in the parlor, IN the
parlor stiff and grand.
Where the haircIoth chairs and SOFAS
stood arrayed, a gloomy band,
Where each queer oil portrait watched US
with q countenance Of WOOD,
And the shells upon the whatnot In
dustless splendor stood.
Then the quaint old parlor organ, with
the quaver in Its tongue,
Seemed to tremble in its fervor as the
sacred songs were sung,
As we sang the honely anthem, sang the
glad revival hymns
OF the glory of the story and the light
no sorrow dims.
While the dusk grew even deeper and
the evening settled down,
And the lamp-lit windows twinkled IN
the drowsy little town,
Old and young we sang the chorus and
the echoes told 1t DER
In the dear, familiar voices, hushed or
scattered evermore.
From the windows of the chapel faint
and low the music dies,
And the picture in the freight fades be-
fore my tear-dimmed eyes,
But my wistful fancy, listening, hears
the night wind hum the tunes
That we sang there in the parlor on those
Sunday afternoons.

HISTORIC DIAMONDS.


Art Of Polishing Diamonds Unknown

without being affected by the blow.
Plato described this gem as kind of
kernel formed In gold. condensed from
the purest and noblest part of the
metal, and priced more for its medical
and psychical virtues rather than for
its beauty; in fact, up to the fourteenth
century the art Of polishing the dia-
mond with its own dust had not been
discovered. His theories were sustain
ed as late as the beginning of the fif-
teenth century by the alchemist Car
dan, who believed that precious stones
were engendered by juices distilled
from gold, silver and iron in the cayi-
ties Of the rocks, and who asserted SOL
emnly that these masterpieces of ma
ture, these quintescences of the pre-
cious metals, not only live, but also
suffer illness, old age and death. This
conviction that even the impenetrable
crystal Of the diamond incloses its
atom Of the universal spirit, together
with all the vague mystical notions
concerning the influence of gems, the
waning and rejuvenescence of the
pearl, the opal, the turquoise, in accord

owners, the prescriptions Of the an
ctent pharmacopeia which administer
ed powders of topaz or of hyacinth for

zodiac; Theophrastus' division of gems

Of coal, and If the cars were put into
train, making no allowance for coupling
spaces, the train would be over 71,O00

20 and we have the jumped estimate
for the output for thirty years. In this
case the train would consist of 150,-

lieved that he was about to overthrow
the republic. Such coup d'etat would
have resulted in war in France, and
would have sent the price of foodstuffs
soaring. Dresbach started to discount
the future and attempted to corner the
wheat market of the country. He was
at>the time the President of the Pro-
duce Exchange of San Francisco, and
he was backed in his effort by the mil
lions of the Nevada bank, of which
]. G. Flood and John w. Mackay, the
mining millionaires, were the owners.
Under the. skillful manipulations of
Dresbach the price of wheat went
steadily up until on Aug. 2, 1887, ii
touched $2.17A Genital. But the load
was too heavy and the same day the
bubble burst. Dresbach lost all his
own large fortune, James C. Flood was
caught for nearly $6,0O0,OOO, and James

merchant marine devoted to the coal
carrying trade would be swelled to the
stupendous number Of ], 100000 ships.
These calculations give us something
of an idea of the extent of the coal
mining industry, and dispose our minds
to accept without question the alarmist
reports sent out from time to time CO.
incidently with the announcement of
an advance in the market price. How
ever, there is another side to the ques-
tion. 1t is estimated that the area Of
coal lands in the world is 472, 600 acres,
distributed as follows: China and Ja-
pan, 100000; United States, $4,000;
India, $4,000: Russia. $1,000: Great
Britain. 1900; Germany, 5000; other
countries, $500. 1t Is also estimated
that the coal supply of China, Japan,
Great Britain, Russia, Germany, and
India is 303, 1000, ,0O0, 900 tons, an amount
sufficient to supply the world for $50
years at the present rate Of consump-
ton. The coal still unmined in the
United States is estimated at 500,000,-
100000 tons In round numbers, an
amount regarded as sufficient to ex-
tend the period of the worlds consump-
ton to 1000 years. at the present rate.
Now, we have here something to al
lay our anxiety ON the score of speedy
exhaustion Of the. coal supply. Few of
us will live 1000 years, and we can
safely rely upon the inventive genius
or discoveries Of future ages to supply
substitute for coal long before the
stock runs short. If coal continues to
, advance In price at the rate at which
1t is going this year, the capacity of
the public to purchase will have ceased
long before the available supply shall
have been exhausted.
1t may not be amsiss to attempt to
represent the reserve supply Of coal in
this country by means Of a diagram,
using only round numbers and approx
mate dimensions.
If the coal mined within thirty years
is equivalent to block of the dimen-
sions of a cubic mile, the reserve may
be indicated by block 100 times as
large in cubical contents. That Is to

This quantity of

ize what that means. This quantity of
coal, estimating ton at a cubic yard,
and dealing in round numbers, would
make one cubic mile; that is, block
one mile high, one mile broad, and one
mile thick. But this calculation is made
on the basis of coal closely compacted
in the strata. When coal is brought to
the surface it gains about one-third in
bulk Let us suppose, therefore, that
each ton of coal after being extracted
from the mine occupies a space Of
about forty cubic feet. This is not un-
common allowance for storage. 1t fol-
lows, therefore, that one cubic mile Of
coal in the mine becomes on the surface
1 1-3 cubic miles. A person with taste
for mathematical calculations can fig
ure out that / 1-3 cubic miles of ma
terial would build a wall 100 feet high,
40 feet broad at the base, 100 feet wide
ct the top, and 1900 miles long. In

tons. AS a ton of coal in strata repre-
sents about one cubic yard, last years
output was 25O,OOO,OOO cubic yards.
This amount of coal would make
stack a mile square and approximately
400 feet high. 1t is an enormous quan-
tity, and we may be excused for some
alarm when we are told that the re-
serve supply will soon be exhausted.
But it may be well to look into the mat
ter little before getting into panic of
fear. However, before relieving our
distress of mind, let us enjoy brief
season of additional shivers.

advice with the most absolute filial
duty. Count Boni got Anna Gould and

ton. Assuming that our average an
nual output is 22O,OOO,OO0 tons. weeks
output would build pyramid by the
side of which the Great Pyramid Of
Cheops would be dwarfed to compara-
tive insignificance; and every ten min
utes there is raised $4,000 tons of coal.
Suppose we take gigantic pair Of
scales, and in one pan put one Of our
large new battleships weighing 14,6OO
tons, and in the other pan the coal
mined in single period of ten minutes.
The battleship would be elevated to a
position neither natural nor dignifed,
yet in accordance with the ineXorable
law of gravitation.
But of the great mass of coal we pro-
duced in 1900 only 100000 tons were
