OF the first ship, properly speaking, OF
the British navy, known as the Great
Harry. the following particulars are
given in an old number Of the Mer-

The Great Harry was built by King
Henry VII. at a cost Of $4,000 and
was burned at Woolwich through acct

service and his record at Gibralter was
altogether unique and eminently graft
flying to the department at Washing
ton.
The aged consul was born at Gibral-
ter. Aug. u. 1923. His father was a
Bostonian who settled in the great
fortress town soon after the war of
1872 and became permanent resident.
In 1916 young Sprague was made con-
sui and remained in that office fifty
three years He served under fourteen
presidents and personally entertained
three of them who visited Gibralter aft
er leaving the White House These were
Fillmore. Pierce and Grant. The con
sui was a warm friend of Admiral
Dewey, and when the hero of Manila
stopped at the Rock on his way home
Mr.. Sprague took charge of him for
time and Hospitality entertained the ia
nous sailor. During the war of the re-
bellion Mr., Sprague was In most deli
cate position, but he carried it off with
great credit TO himself and to the cause
of the North. In the late Spanish war
he was placed In even a more exacting
situation, but he met 1t capably and
well. Although he had visited this
country but once. he was patriotic
and enthusiastic American, as is like
wise his son, Richard Sprague. whom

A contributor TO The Edihbnrgh Med
ical journal declares that if dandruff

ed, unless the deadening, OF the scalp
has gone too far. He has had positive
results in checking the fall of hair
and increasing its amount by using pre-
cipitated sulphur, 10 per cent, in good
cold cream. withsor without eithersa
icylic acid, 3 to , per cent, or extract
of jaborandi, drachm TO the ounce.
The ointment proposed by Bronson,
composed of ammoniated mercury. 20
efains calomel 40 grains, IN l ounce
of yaseline, has also done good service
in some cases. Sometimes resorcin in
solution and in increasing strength has
proved helpful. On the other hand,
naphthol and cantharides have been
complete failures; in many.cases none
of these had aided. The dapdruff. be-
ing parasitic in origin, is apt to relapse,
hence the remedies are to be resumed
should II reappear. For stimulating the
growth of the hair the best remedy is
massage, but this must not be reSorted
to until the dandruff has disappeared.
The services of skilled professional
give the best results. but good may be
done by the patient himself pinching up
the scalp between the ends of the eN-
tended fingers of both hands for five
minutes twice day.
