CARE OF The HAIR.
How TO Prevent Badness and Pre-
mature Grayness.


The reason there are more bald heads
among men than women is that the
mans hat, with its tightness around
the head, seriously interferes with the
circulation. of the blood through the
scalp. thus affecting the nourishment
of the. scalp and hair, says the New
York Press. The roots of the hair
need to be exercised to give them
strength and the scalp exercised to
keep it elastic and loose. A woman's
hair is exercised in the dressing. The
pulling keeps the scalp loose.
If women should cut their hair and
wear their hats as tight as men do,
there would be as many bald women
as men. Men should wear light hats
and wear them no longer than is nee
essary, changing the hats position to
relieve the pressure and to give the
fresh air access to the scalp.
If the hair seems weak, do not cut it
as closely as you have before. Pull it
daily to strengthen the roots and slim
ulate the scalp. Wash the hair only
once n month. The frequent washing
robs the roots Of the required nourish-
ment. The scalp should receive scrupu-
lous attention, and if the best bristle
brushes are used night and morning
the practice not only will help to keep
the hair and scalp clean, but will give
the friction required for the scalp to
open the oil glands and nourish the
roots.
Rinse the hair after washing three or
four times thoroughly, dry and give q
Pun bath. If the hair is naturally dry,
dip the fingers in pure olive oil for the
massage. To promote a healthy condi-
ton Of the hair and prevent badness
and premature grayness nothing equals
massage.
The movement used in massage for
the scalp is simple. Place the thumbs
at the base of the skull and use the
four fingers of each hand with which
TO knead firmly. Push the fingers into
the scalp forward and at the same time
in rotary movement. kneading firmly
up over the crown of the head and
from the temple in like manner, Gov
ering the entire head. All scalp mas
sage should be accompanied by good
tonicS.
Here are a few formulas used by a
prominent physician:
ounces; tincture cantharides. . drains;
oil of lavender and oil of rosemary,
each 10 drops. Shake well and use ut
least twice a day.
Quinine tonic: Sulphate of quinine, 20
grains; bay rum, / drains; glycerin, t
drains; tincture cantharidcs, drains;
tincture capsicum, . drains; distilled
water to make 1G fluid ounces. Mix
and dissolve and let stand twenty-four
hours. Then filter. If color is desired.
add red saunders.
For oily hair: Witch hazel, . ounces;
alcohol, ounces; distilled water, l
ounce; resorcin. 40 grains. Rub well
into scalp every night.
Dandruff: Bay rum, . ounces; tincture
1 ounce; olive oil. 1 ounce.
For oily hair. add ammonia, 1 ounce.
Ammonia, soda or boraX irritates
scalps with dandruff and never should
be used in the shampoo.

Mr.. Cochran WIN Explain.

If there are any Irishmen in the dis

Missouri, he will have to do something
if he seeks reelection. The other day
he was telling the house how the Chi

so into an underground apartment"
he said. ''All around the room are
shelves divided into little compart
ments. For u moment you think you
are in a library. Now. in every one
of those little places an Irishman
sleeps"
The roar of laughter that interrupt
ed Mr.. Cochran Informed him that he
had made some kind of a break, and
he quickly substituted "Chinaman" for

WASHINGTON LETTER
Especial Correspondence.l


Since President Roosevelt has re
sumed the public receptions the White
House has been crowded daily witt
visitors. Until the time of the Spanish
American war it was the custom foI
the president to receive the public al
a stated hour each day. When the
war came on and the press of public
business became so great that Presi-
dent Mckinley scarcely had time to
sleep, he discontinued these recep-
tions, and they have not been resumed
until recently. Now each day Mr..
Roosevelt makes his way to the gor-
geous east room, where he meets all
visitors. Frequently he will shake
hands with GOO or 7OO. persons in day.
These receptions give an excellent OPP
portunity for an extended study of the
president at close range.
The other day the principal of a New
York private school led about twenty
of his pupils into the east room.
Stand them in a row." ordered the
! president as soon as he saw the teach
er and his charges. This was done
and Mr.. Roosevelt passed down the
row, grasping one boys hand with his
right and that of the next boy with
his left hand, exactly as does the
dancer of a Quadrille in the grand
right and left. After he had greeted
each boy in this way he faced the
line. The young visitors looked ex-
pectant.
do all of you boys belong to base
ball nine?" asked the president.
Twenty mouths were stretched from
ear to ear, and twenty heads drcked
in assent
That's good" said the president,
and he turned on his heel without Civ
ing his youthful visitors a word about
patriotism or the glorious country in
which they were privileged to live.
The Professors Pleasant Hour.
AS Professor Willis Moore, chief OF
the United States weather bureau. was
coming from Chicago recently he en-
gagged in conversation with party of
passengers in the smoking compart-
ment of a sleeper. Among the things
discussed We're the weather prognosti-
Gators. Professor Moore heard his bu-
reau severely criticised. One man said
the weather bureau men didn't know a
thing about what would happen; anoth-
err asserted that it was all guesswork,
and so on. Professor Moore began to
wonder why Uncle Sam was paying
him a salary. As the train neared
Washington all except Professor Moore
disclosed the nature of their business
Just as the professor was leaving the
car one OF his travelling companions
said:
See here. you have not told US what
business you are in"
Professor Moore fished out Il card
and handed it to the inquirer, who
read:
Willis Moore, chief United States
weather bureau"

But One Diamond.

According to n report just made to
the division of mining and mineral re-
sources of the United States geological
survey, S2S9,O50 worth of precious
stones was produced in this country in
1901. The turquoise led the list. Seven
companies are now actively engaged in
mining this class of stones. and the
output last year amounted to $11S,000.
New Mexico is the chief source of the
supply. The report shows that but one
diamond was found. That solitary gem
was picked up in Lee county, Ga.

wINpHAM COUNTY COURT.

The March term of Windham county
court was opened at Newfane Wednesday
afternoon at two o'clock. Judge John w.
Rowell presiding.
Rev r. E. Danforth of Newfane. offered
PRAYER and Sheriff wilkins made the usual
proclamation Twenty-eight of the 80
Jurors who had been summoned respond
ed to their names and were duly sworn
and instructed by the court as to their du-
ties.
The call of the docket revealed the pros
pect of an unusually short term as near
ly all of the GO cases set for jury trial Were
announced as having been settled or to be
continued.
The first case expected to be tried was
that of Alletson against E. D. Powers, the
Springfield, Mass, real estate agent, to
recover for alleged fraudulent transac-
tions in a Townshend farm trade. The
defendant having gone into bankruptcy
his counsel, Fits and Schwenk. made the
claim that the case should be continued
pending the settlement of the estate but
the court was inclined to hold that bank
ruptcy was no bar to a prosecution for
fraud claim, and the case may be heard
later
Arguments on motions, and demurrers
occupied the time till the witnesses ar
rived in the case of Eva o. Bell. apt. VS..
Frank B. Johnson's estate. This was an
appeal from the decision of commission
ers on the Johnson estate in disallowing
the claim of plaintiff to the amount of
$549 for the care and nursing of Johnson
while a boarder at her house from April
q, 1899 to Nov Is, 1900. The case went on
trial before a jury Thursday afternoon.
The plaintiffs testimony tends to show
that DIR. Johnson who had been practic-
ing physician at Nottingham for many
years was suffering from nervous prostra-
tration during the time he boarded at
plaintiffs house, and that the plaintiff
who was a nurse gave a great deal OF
time to his care during the time. For this
she had never been paid, although she
had been paid 81 per week for the doctors
board and he had agreed that she should
later have pay for her care of him. The
claim of the defendant estate, as outlined
by counsel is that the So per week paid for
board was also in full settlement of all of
plaintiffs services.
The case of Forester VS.. Johnson for
the alienation of the affections of plain
tlffs wife is the next case for trial to be
followed by two or three others which will
complete the civil jury list as it now
stands.

is in Sight.

Report That it is Continuation of
Comstock Lode and That $25, 100000
is in Sight.
A despatch from Salt Lake City to
the Boston Journal Saturday told of
the discovery of a gold mine of fab
ulous richness by Phineas Young,
relative of Brigham Young. 1t is
thought that this mine was worked by
the Spaniards or Aztecs. The des-
patch also stated that there was
tradition that Breifogal, a German,
once stumbled on an old Spanish bon
ANA in Nye county, Nevada, but was
unable to ever find it again, although
he led several expeditions in search
of it. One company Of 40 men left
Austin in the sixties in search of it
but were killed by the Indians.
Breifogal died in Salt Lake City in
poverty with his dream of gold un-
realized. Many people believe that
the Tonopah mine is the one the Ger
man sought. The Tonopah mine is
the one which John F. Anderson
bought last June, and of which he is
one of the principal owners. The
Salt Lake City despatch claims that
there is $25 100000 in sight at Tono-
pah
The New York Herald states that
a company has been incorporated with
a capital of $1,750,000 to extend a line

Tonopah mine to be a direct contin-
uation of the Comstock lode at Vir-
ginia City, one of the richest mines
ever opened. Anderson Phelps
Stokes, the New York millionaire, and
members of his family are owners Of
