several distinct notes of alarm in his
voice, II hope you have not been

waste your time and money in any

that only costs ten cents a week may
sound very alluring, but when il
runs for two years, you will find that
you are paying twice over"

go into politics; you would make a

other story. I have wanted certain

And here IL came walking right in, as
you might say. so l bought it, and IL

 DTsraeli once said that an EngliSh statesman, in dealing with Ireland, should purpose change in Irish con- ditions not less complete than would be wrought by a revolution, and yet should avoid a revolution Something like that is what is needed for the re- adjustment of the relations of capital and labor. We do not want to deprive society of the services of the ablest and most far-seeing of it's industrial servants, writes a staff correspondent of New York paper, but we do need a radical change in industrial organ izatfon. ssTo me-" he says, it seems that this will come i'll our new policy toward corporations. These have been useful servants of the community to an extent which few realize, because very few know what was the industrial condition before they arose. But it cannot be said that the state has done it's duty by society in establishing a sufficient regulation of their powers. |sThey are the creation of the1 state,
 Whfch alone can thus invest a large group of persons with the Franchises of single person for specified objects. But such regulations as have been inn posed on them have been purely from a legal point of view; and lawyers are not the people to discern in large way the social consequences of creating ar tificial persons of such vast powers and such limited responsibilities. Nor can any such regulation be obtained so long as this country leaves in the hands of the several states the power to charter and to regulate corporations. We know from sharp experience that the states rival each other in the largeness of their grants of power to corporations and in the limitations of responsibili- ties laid upon them, for the sake of having the tax on their capital stock added to the state revenue"

Mary MaeLalle, the poetic whirlwind from the wild and woody west. has in vaded Boston, and it's up to Radcliffe to evolve the problem thrust upon it. There are no lambs in Mary's retinue and no flies on her ocabulary.-New Britain Herald.
 Two young men of Marion, Ind, have been comrades ever since they were boys They fell in love with sisters; were married April ', 1899; left their wives July z, 1902; filed bills of divorce July 16, 1902. This was a pair of real psychica1 twins; and the anecdote teaches us that the real article in Hoosier novelists has come at last New York Sun.
 By summarily closing 2,500 Catholic schools, which gave employment to 5000 teachers, the French government has taken a course which may seri- ousIy weaken the republic. The 15O,- 900 children who were taught in these schools will have to be provided for in other schools, and q great deal of money will be taken out of the hands of many poor parish priests who acted as teachers in the schools that have been closed. The law may justify such procedure, but it is certain that the French government is now antag- onizing very large and important part of the people of France.-Hart- ford Times.

Rev Noble's Theory Regarding Wes-
 leyan Faculty.
 According to the idea of the Rev Flu gene Noble, graduate of Wesleyan. class of 1891, and who now is the su- perintendent of the Methodist Episco- pal hospital in Brooklyn, Wesleyan faculty members when they appear. on the class day platform at commence ment time should all wear the Prince Albert coat and other fittings, in place of the common pepper and salt mix ture. with faring red tie. that the graduate evidently believes would be more becoming at a county fair than at commencement exercises. The Rev Noble has voiced his sentiments in an article in the Christian Advocate, and following are some of his thoughts:
 Some changes should be made in the commencement exercises at Wes. leyan. This year the platform was oc- cupied by the president of the college and the president of the board of trus- tees who were seated together and on either side were members of the facul- ty and members of the board of trlls- tees. On the faculty side done} could observe al sorts of fashion in clothing, la ohh iuC uiSHluSu aHu dpprOpflaTe Prince Albert coat, with its fitting ac- compartments, down to gray sack suit and red necktie. Other colleges observe the commencement occasion by having the faculty, trustees and visi- tors appropriately gowned: and it was John Wesley. we believe, the bicen- fenary of whose birth is to be cele- brated at the next commencement, who said that we should not be first to catch up a fashion or last to lay it down. The occupants of the com mencement platform might have im- proved their appearance and would have made pleasing impression if they had remembered MT Wesley and initiated the senior class '

 BOSTON, July 23.-As a result of the attempt of the government to col- lect a tax with which to pay the Boxer indemnity, according to report by Rev. +. M. Chapin of the American boards north China mission, an upris- ing has taken place to the west of Lin shing. Rev. MT. Chapin says that thousands of troops have been sent to suppress the uprising, but at last ac- counts they had not succeeded. Refer ring to the affair, MT. Chapin says:

Major Glenn has been fined $50 and suspended 2 month for administering the water cure. Rather light punishment too considering the amount of sport the major and his assistants got out of It.

HOW TO AVOID BALDNEss.

The writer of this squib has much hair on his head, says a correspondent of Medical Talk. As a young man 1t
 was black as crows wing, curly, the
 envy of rivals and the despair of imi-
 tators; as a middle-aged man, iron
 gray. thick, luxuriant, with no dispo-
 sition to grow less. How does it hap,
 pen that this one individual is singled
 out from all the rest to be the posses
 sor of so much hair? Has it been the
 use of hair tonics? Is it the result of frequent shampoos by the barber?
 Has he been spending money Tor some
 favorite hair restorer? Nothing of these things has happended. It has
 been brought about neither by wise
 management nor heredity. This is
 the way it happended: The head upon
 which this luxuriant hair grows is of
 long diameter from before backward,
 but of short diameter from side to side that is to say, a long, thin head, with rather hollow temples. This makes it
 impossible for him to buy a hat that fits tightly to his head. His head be- ing so long, he is obliged to buy a 1-2
 which is always too wide for his thin
 head. He has probably never wore a
 hat in his life that fitted tightly over the temples.
 We'll, what has all this to do with 1uxuriant hair? 1t has much to do with it. The temporal arteries, that
 supply the scalp with blood, run up
 the side of the temples. The average
 person wears a hat that fits tightly
 over the temples. This construction
 of the arteries that supply the circu- Iation of the blood, and the pressure of the hat upon these blood vessels, cut off in part the circulation of the
 blood of the scalp. This makes the
 hair unhealthy and inclined to drop out Baldheadedness comes on prem aturely. But in case of the long g-head-
 ed person we are describing no hat could be found that would fit tightly
 across the temples.
 It was no wisdom of his that pre-
 served his hair, but merely the acci- dental shape of his head. He has all tways been obligedc to wear a hat that bItoucheda the forehead and back of the head, lbutrdid not touch the sides of
 his head. This left the circulation of
 the blood free to the scalp. Hence
 the bristling. rugged, healthy mop of
 hair on his head. Each hair stays in
 its place with the tenacity of a pine stump. A pound weight would not be
 
 Now. if there is any lesson to be
 learned from all this it is simply to avoid wearing anything on the head that presses the temples. This is l probably the reason that women have I a better growth of hair. It is rare, in- deed, to see half-headed woman. It 1 is very common to see baIdheaded
 man. Women's hats are worn as or l nanaents rather than for protection. They rarely touch the head at all. Men wear hats tightly clasped about the head interfering with the circu- 1 lation of the scalp. That is why they l are bald. They ought to be bald if they don't know any better. Doubt less they will continue to be bald in sDite of this article or anything else 1 that can be written. Round-headed men are bound to become bald-headed, simply because their hats hug tightly to their heads.
