Medical Notes.

The definition of man as "a biped with
out feathers has more wit than wisdom
in If. for mans hair is the analogue Of
birds feathers A feather has hollow
cylindrical quill; so does mans hair nave
a central shaft composed of horny cells
forming a tube A feather has a num-
Der of more or less downy fbers radiat-
ing from it, so Tdoes mans hair have an
outer layer of iimbricated cells, that Is,
cells laid single fashion, which make
serrated- edge, not visible to the unaided
eye, but tangible to the delicate touch,
SO that by drawing a hair between the
finger tips the up and down of it can
be told with the eyes shut.
A hair is in reality a development Of
skin. 1t grows from a little pit at the
bottom of which is q papilla, and each
hair follicIe has one or more sebaceous
follicles opening into 1t or near it upon
the surface 1t follows from this that
any disturbance of the natural functions
of the skin reacts upon the hair and
affects it's growth and condition. The con-
dition OF the hair is therefore in de-
gree a measure of health. 1t is in fact
a measure of vitality.
In the days when men believed that life
was governed by the humors, the san
guine temperament was characterized by
brown hair, blue eyes and fair skin,
with great vitality, and these sanguine
or full blooded people were found to pe
full of vitality; hence brown hair. in good
condition seems to indicate a wiry person

Relief
From Headache and

In a Few Minutes
After Taking
DR.. Miles Anti.Pain Pills.
Chronic Case Cured.

II cannot speak to highly of your remedies
and i will always tell my friends how much
they have done for my husband and myself
for sudden attacks of headaches, neuralgia
and rheumatic pains. There is nothing
equal to DIR. Miles Ant-Pain Pills. They
are simply splendid and eiver lief in fifteen
or twenty minutes. used to be subject to
attacks of headache, which had become
chronic, and took a course OF Nervine and
Nerve and Liver Pills in connection with the
Anti-Pain Pills. The result is | now have
very little trouble in that way. My husband
has also taken these remedies and praises
them very highly. We always have some Of
both kinds Of pills in the house. and do not
feel that we could get along without them
MRS. KATE X. JOHNSON, McClellandsville,
Delaware.
There are many reasons why you should
take DR.. Miles Anti-Pain Pills, but the best
reason is that they will give you almost instant
relief from headache or other pain. In cases
of chronic headache, when the sufferer knows
an attack is coming on, a Pain Pill will usu.
ally prevent it entirely. In cases Of extreme
nervous exhaustion, when the brain is too
tired and the body too nervous to rest, an
Anti. Pain Pill will sooth the nerves SO that
sleep may come. They never fail, yet con.
tain no opiates and are non-laxative.
All druggists sell and guarantee DR.. Miles
Anti. Pain Pills. They are non-la xative; con.
tain no opates, never sold in bulk, IS doses,

CLARIFYING BEESWAX.
n the Work In Done Properly N Prod
net Of Fine, Even Appearance
Will He Obtained.

As it is generally clarified some
yellow, while other wax when COM
pared with il has dirty look. This
is owing to the proper method em-
ployed in one case and lack of thor
ougness in another, albeit not always,
for there is such difference even in
oeeswaX that it is questionable if some
could ever be made clear. If clarified
as II should be, however. the chances
are nine out of ten of its all presenting
The same fine, even appearance, says
the Country Gentleman.
The way To do it is To take the comb
one has To clarity and put it in large
iron kettle, such as is used on the
farm outdoors. filling it with water.
In this the comb should be allowed to
boil for several hours. Meanwhile, a
tub having bedn filled half full of wa
ter, on which is tloated an old board
of some sort, the mixture at the end of
that period should be dipped out with
an old pan or dipper from the kettle,
and poured through hemp sack or
other thin material that is allowed to
rest on the board floating in the tub.
The result is the wax runs Though the
sack into the tub, leaving considerable
residue in the sack. which can reattly
be separated by squeezing or rolling
the mass with n round stick or similar
means of pressure.
The WAX will float on the surface of
the water in the tub and soon cool,
apd while this is taking place the ket-
tie should be clean>ed and filled with
clean water: then the wax should be
put back in it and boiled up a second
time. 1t should next be strained care
fully through a fine meshed cloth sew
eral times. and as the sack or cloth
used for this purpose is of no special
value afterwards it should be thrown
away.
Beeswax clarified in this manner cal
be melted without water and put in
moulds ready for the market, which
otherwise might have been considered
worthless and never used at all. In
deed. it pays To save all the scraps and
pieces of old comb. and at the end uf the
season treat them as described. for
thus will tirst-class beeSwaX be OBJ
talned. and that always finds good
market

"COLORADO."

There was q big sale to-day for Charles Frohman's production of Au- gustus Thomass Colorado" when will be given tomorrow evening at Polfs and which is sure to be one or the genuine dramatic treats of the season. The play has had brilliant success at Wallack's theater, New York, and it is to be presented exactly as it was during the New York run, which closed only last Saturday even- ing. The play is another of Thomas endeavors to portray i'll dramatic IofIn peculiarities of life in q certain sec Tion of the United States. As ln the case of most of his other serious plays the title indicates the locale and sug- gests in a general way the people, manners and passions he has taken as models. His sectional picture gal ture gallery thus far contains sections of Alabama, Missouri, the city or Washington and Arizona. All these are more or less material and melo- dramatic in character, the sentiment being practical rather than poetic. From a synopsis of Colorado II seems not to be a departure from this eustom. Rather does the vivid side look to be more strongly developed than in the others. There is love and villainy in it, particularly villainy though this is overcome ill the end The original cast will be employed in it's presentation in this city. and m cludes Wilton Lackaye, Francis Car lyle.

suburban committee. and i'll answer to the question how far shall the board go or direct, Mir Hine stated that the law provides all school buildings shall be properly heated. etc. In case of trouble threatening the board of health would be a good party to appeal to, and the health officer is powerful being when he gets going.
 Committeeman Wolfe of Wateryille inquired who is responsible for teachers pay when she is given q day or any portion of q day off. Mir Hine replied that no school official can give q teacher holiday. As to a teacher having one visiting day ill each term, that simply means q day off with pay for the teacher. MT Hine asked if that was right or can be justified. Holidays should be specified in q con tract when a teacher is being engaged. Still, any. rule made by any board of committee on this point has been held to be legal MT Hine stated that in this matter of holidays with pay the state pays ST0,000 year for work that is not done. Yet when factory closes the men are not paid.
 MT Tinker stated that regarding school hours, which somewhat conflict now with the local rule, this matter will be regulated later. MT Tinker continued to the effect that he hoped there will be no friction between the board of education, the superintendent and the suburban committees. As for himself. he could assure the gentlemen he would do all he could for the bene- l fit of all His territory now embrac- ] ing a large district, he hoped no com mittee would consider itself sighted 1 if he did not visit often.
 The visitors from the outside dis tricts had now seemingly warmed up to the meeting, notwithstanding that l it was time to prepare to get home, the clock tending toward Il. MT RasmuS> sen, from the Town Plot district. com l plained that under the new rules he feared q shortage of supplies. He was informed that though less money would be apportioned to each district, more supplies and better would be given each than it has hitherto had. Mir Rasmussen failed to understand this. but MT Tinker explained it to him. Mir Tinker showed that each pupil cost S1.47 Wear for books and supplies, and matters have been fig ured down so fine that one can tell how long a pencil will last q pupil Of course, said MT Tinker. it will take some time to adjust matters to the new order. It took the city school five years. Mir Rasmussen complained loue and loudly that after subduing some of the hardest nuts ill the town, boys
 in the Town Plot school. it was too bad
 to allow them to go to the Bank street

 allayed Ar Tinker telling him that nc

 1t was now 11:30 o'clock and Com
