People who complain of falling hair as a rule do not know that 1t Is the re- suit of dandruff. which is caused by a pestiferous parasite burowing up the scalp as it digs down to the sheath in which the hair Is fed in the scalI. Be- fore long the hair root is shriveNed up and the hair drops out. If the work Of the germ is not destroyed hair keeps thinning until badness comes The only way to cure dandrufr is to kill the germ, and until now there has been no hair preparation that would do 1t; hut today dandrun is easily eradicated by NeWbro's herpicide, which makes hair glossy and soft as silk.

Good gravel has so largely come into

1t is essential to restore level surface,
as even the most speculative builder
would hesitate to run up meat villa

frequently gets over this difficulty by
allowing urban refuse to be shot into
the excavation; in many cases he even
exacts a small sum for every load tilted
on his ground. The surface being thus
leveled, a year or two are allowed for
the soil to sink and become compact.
Occasionally grass is sown to give
natural appearance to the spot.

and the servants all left. When the la

no answer. Finally they began to de-

was the matter.

The Indian Knew What He W@mte@

Wild West, arrayed in bright colored

headed by a buck who now and then
gave a grunt of satisfaction when some
thing that pleased him caught his eye,
they halted in front of drug store and
gazed at the window display for

establishment and began to look
around.
The clerk thought the place was go

Directed by the Indians finger to

into the toothsome looking article.

The clerk began to tremble, and the
Indian pointed to a perfume bottle In

Father Time. old Clock.

"The transmitting clock at the Naval
observatory, Washington, is the abso-
lutte monarch of American timekeep-
ers," writes Evander McIver Sweet in
The Ladies' Home Journal. EVERY day
In the year except Sunday by one pen
dulum stroke it speaks directly and in
simultaneously to every city and consid-
cradle town between the peaks of the
Rockies and the pines of Maine, saying
to them that on the seventy-ffth merid-
ian it is now high noon to the fraction
of a second. A duplicate mechanism
stationed at the branch naval obserya-
tory on Mare Island performs similar
service for the people Of the Pacific
slope. And by this one clock at the ma
tional capital, together with Its dupli-
cate on the Pacific, is set nearly every
timepiece in the United States and Gu
ba, most Of those in Mexico and many
on the border of Canada.
"a number of clocks-from to 5000
in nearly every city and large town
are wired together into a local family
and by means of switch key at the
telegraph Office are put into direct con-
tact with the parent clock at the ma
tional capital. So that the instant the
electric touch is given from Washington
every clock in the circuit, whether 1t be
at Boston, Minneapolis or New Or
leans, begins a new day in perfect &C
cord with it's mechanical deity"

AMONG few of the members of the bar
of New Jersey there is a feeling that our
jury system might be improved. One of
those who finds fault is ex-Judge Henry,
of Newark. He challenged an entire
panel on the ground that it had been i'm
properly drawn. The objection was over
ruled, and the lawyer threatens to carry
the case to the Court of Errors. Judge
Henry claims that juries are drawn by
sheriffs more as personal favor than with
any other view, and that the panel is
sometimes entirely formed of friends of
the officer Yet, when we recall many
famous and important cases throughout
the state, there are not many verdicts but
will stand the test of investigation. True
there have been returns which did not
suit everybody, but that cannot be laid to
the system of selecting jurors There are
some who would return to the jury COM
mission which was inaugurated years ago,
but which was not given fair trial before
the law was repealed. Of course sheriff
will look after his friends somewhat in the
selection of juries, the same as other APP
pointing powers defer to the wishes of
friends of applicants, but SO far as the
sheriffs of Burlington county are con-
cerned every one must admit they have
had pretty reputable set of friends.

Ibis is strange place for cooper
shop" said a stranger in New York,
pointing to sign over basement in
the wholesale dry goods district.
Eyes; it would be queer place." was
the answer, 'if the product was like
that of nearly all cooper shops. But
there was never a barrel made in the
place, and probably not one of the 10
men who work there could head bar
rel, to say nothing of making one. This
cooperage does business only with big
wholesale houses"
There are several similar shops In the
district. They make a business Of
strapping cases of merchandise after
they have been packed. The large
concerns have the cases put in the
street after they have been packed. and
then the cooper is sent for to nail the
wooden straps around them. He re-
ceives about Is cents an hour for his
labor and from Is to % cents a pair
for the straps. The shops are the
storehouses for the hoop poles, and
there the men split and shave the hick-
DRY saplings which finally become the
case straps. There are some houses in
the district where the porter does this
work, but the large concerns turn 1t
over to the coopers who never make
barrel.-New York Tribune.

UNDER the heading, "Absurdities of the
law, the Freehold Transcript has the fol-
lowing:
's.0ne day last week a physician was
fined in the court of Quarter Sessions,
Philadelphia, because he was late in re-
spending to subpoena. 1t was explained
that the delay was occasioned by his pro-
fessional duties and by the fact that the
train service upon which he depended pre-
vented him from appearing in court
promptly upon the hour designated in the
summons. In answer to this Judge Wilt
bank replied that it were better that the
patient should die than the common
wealth's witnesses should place themselves
in contempt of court
The patient who was responsible for
the physicians delay in this case was suf-
fering from diphtheria, and was in critical
condition. This judicial deliverance under
such circumstances has attracted a great
deal of attention, and it has been severely
criticised. 1t is little less than monstrous
to maintain that a physician should be
compelled to abandon patient lying at
the point of death. for any reason what
ever or at the command of any human
tribunal. Had the physician neglected
his patient in this case, the abandonment
would have been in contempt of an au-
thority higher than that of any human
court-the tribunal of conscience, which
commands that human life must be saved
at any hazard or sacrifice, when possible.
Another absurdity which has been
brought to our notice is this: Seven years
ago the wife of George e. Faile obtained
divorce, and the court ordered the latter
TO pay the divorced wife 5000 annually.
Last September she married again, and
Faile made application for court order
releasing him from the obligation to pay
alimony. The woman strenuously op-
posed the application and finally compro-
missed the matter by ordering the former
husband to pay annually $780, instead of
5000. No layman can see where the
equity is in such decision, nor can he
moral sense does not revolt against &C.
cepting the money from Faile since she is
another mans wife (; more difficult still is
it for the man who has had no legal train
ing to understand why the court ever per-
mitted a mans former wife who had be
come the wife of some one else to come
before it and ask that her former husband
be compelled to continue to pay alimony
under such circumstances
The appointment Of William s. Gum
mere as head of the Supreme Court of
this state recalls his ruling in the case of
five-year-old child, for the death of
which the father had sued for damages.
This was in 1898. Graham, the father.
had obtained verdict in lower court for
Sc, 900, but it was carried to the Supreme
Court and there 1t was reduced to u, 900.
