Some statintlcr About Hair.

tience has counted the hairs of the hu- man head. In fact, not content with
 counting one head Of hair, he under took several. The results of his inves- tigations are curious. Blonds, for in- stance, have the greatest number and those with red hair the smallest. Iu no case is there much variation be- tween the sexes when the color Is the same. Light haired people have be- tween 10000 and 165.000 hairs; bru- nettes average only about 105.OO0 hairs; red haired people do not have much
 more than 30.O00. This means that red hair is coarser than other shades, but 1t has the advantage of lasting longer.

 Edgar Baruch, until recently a grad, uate student in the college of chem lstry in the University of California. has had the distinction of inventing 8 new method of cleansing raw wool. which gives promise of eventually rev. oIutionizing the wool industry in bis state if not in the entire country.

This would indicate that action oil
the part of any of the powers, in the
way of taking advantage of the disturbed
state of the Balkans for the furtherine
of their own interests there, would be
met by strong protest, if not some
thing stronger, by Italy.

of Germany's action in demanding
cash payment of 1,7lS,OOO bolivars, in

her, sent the following message to Mr..

the British Embassy. Mr.. Carnegie, it
is said, has been watching with close
interest the progress of the negotiations.

Carnegie, thanking him for mis- generous
offer, which, however, it was not neces-
sary to accept
In announcing Mr.. Carnegie's offer
Mr.. Bowen said that many banks and
financial syndicates had all along been
anxious to lend money to Venezuela
and had sent representatives to see him
with this end in view, though these
offers were, of course, of a business ma
ture, whereas the offer of Mr.. Carnegie
was made without any reservation OF
mention of security for the return Of
his money.

IN MEMORIAM.

In loving remembrance of my dear son,
JAMES j. HEPBURN, who departed this
life February Is, 1902-one year ago today.
One sad year has vanished,
Think we while the tear drops start
But the memory of my dear boy
Still is fresh within my heart.
All since then our lives are saddened,
Since that day our hopes are slain
But his voice seems sweetly saying,
Courage, we shall meet again."
Gone but not forgotten.
BIZ HIS MOTHER.
In memoriam of our darling little MABEL
KING, lovingly remembered by papa, mama,
brothers and sisters. Died two years ago
today aged two years and four months.
Little Mabel was the darling,
Pride of all our hearts at home;
But an angel came and whispered
Little Mabel, do come home"
In loving remembrance of our dear brother,
WILLIAM L. WILKINS, who departed this
life two years ago today. Gone, but not for
COTTON.
Precious darling, he has left us,
Left US, yes, foreyermore
But we hope TO meet our loved one
On that bright and happy shore.
Lonely the house and sad the hours
Since our dear one has gone,
But Oh brighter home than ours
In Heaven is now his own.

American DiplOm acy.

Vienna, Feb 16.-The Montags

American diplomacy has shown itself as
successful as American commercial en-
terprise. The paper says: american
diplomatists have Outwitted European
statesmen on eralimportant occasions.
If Yankee cunning continues to make
America predominant in international
affairs, a European political alliance
against America will be as equally
necessary as an anti-American COM
mercial combine"

chief result of the end of the Venezuelan

with immensely increased authority.
Germany has her $40, 900, but she has
been made party to a principle which
she will would willingly have spent a
hundred times that amount in resisting,

LEGISLATURE.
SENATE.


The Senate devoted nearly the whole
of its time on Saturday to the discussion Of
Mr.. Cromwelps joint resolution provid-
ing for committee Of three to inquire
into the matter and mode of bookkeep-
ing in vogue at the several State hos
pitals for the insane. The discussion
was quite breezy, and the presence in
the city of the heads of number of the
hospitals was made the subject of COM
ment. Senator Sale led the fight for
the resolution, backed by Mr.. Banks
dale, while Senator Clayton led the oppo5
sition. and Messrs. Byars, Bruce and
Wickham agreed with him that there
was DO necessity for the commission, as
under the new constitution the governor
must appoint a commissioner OF hos
pitals. An amendment offered by Mr..
Byars directing the committee to make
recommendation looking to equalinng
salaries was adopted, and the whole sub
ject was referred to the committee on
public institutions and educetion.
The declaration by Mr.. Barksdale that
as soon as resolution like this was Of
fered the heads of the hospitals focked
to Richmond brought Messrs. Opie and
TYLER to their feet to defend the officers
of the hospitals in their districts. But
the Halifax Senator only grew warmer.
He recognized the right of these officials
to come to Richmond and he also knew
his right as Senator to speak Of Their
presence. He had not been approached
in connection with this resolution, but
had been asked to aid in having the
salary of an employe increased. he
did not care who the governor appointed
"lord high commissioner of lunatics, .
the information sought would be helpful
to him.

tuition expressing the sense of the legis
lature. that statue of General r. +
Lee should not be placed in Statuar,
Hall until directly invited to do so b,

tional and fanatical hate should disap
pear, asked, and was granted, leave t
postpone indefinitely consideration o
the matter. The reason of this was tina
the Halsey bill had passed the Senat
on Friday, and Senator Gold explaine'
that he had voted for the bill, in defer
ence to a desire for unanimity on tn
part of the Senate.
The House was not in session on Sat

ATTEMPT to show the folly of such a
dream and parallel case in Mark
Twain's Innocents Abroad is all that Is
necessary. Among those composing
that excursion party was self-sufficient
youngster who labOred under the hallucl-
nation that the United States composed
hree-fourths of the map Of the world

in it with us. While the steamer Quaker
City was passing the Rock of Gibraltar
and the other passengers were comment
ing on the famous stronghold as the key
to the Mediterranean, the youth survey
ed the frowning fortress for few min
utes and said: "Why that would be
nothing in the way of United States

soon raze it,"
