Mlssouri's Growing Glory.

Maryville claims to have as many
young women with long, beautiful hair
as any town Of its size. The Tribune
published an interesting STORY" about
some of them last week. Miss Pearl
Briggs, a telephone operator, has hair
almost five fet long. Mrs. Chloe Craig,
wife of Gallatin Craig, judge of the cir.
cult court, has mass of rich auburn
tresses which, although she is tall,
reach to her shoe tops. Miss Kathar-
inc Turner, who is a blonde, has hair
5S inches long, and it is so heavy that
she has not for several years been
able to dress it without help. Miss
Martha Smiths dark brown hair is
more than four feet long, and used to
be somewhat longer. Miss Clara va
pies "crowning glory reaches below
her knees. None of these women rec
ommenl any particular method Of
growing long hair. Miss Briggs was
kept closely shingled till she was 10
wears old. Miss Turner combs her
locks every night with the fine teeth
sr a coarse comb. The notion that
long hair is incompatible with good
health receives little support from
these Maryville women, most of whom
arc we'll and strong.-Kansas City

HEALTH ON THE ISTHMUS.
Disease is Gradually Diminishing In
Panama.

The prospect of active work in con-
nection with the ship canal across the
Isthmus of Panama has directed at
tention to the climate of the district,
in which engineering work Of excep-
tional difficulty will have to be under
taken. The results are generally re-
assuring, and with ordinary care re-
petition of the horrors that accom-
panied the construction OF the Pana-
ma railway need not be feared. The
most noticeable feature in the temper
ature factor is its constancy through
out the year, the monthly range
in the mean, being confined between
1874 degrees and SOL degrees. The
daily range on the coast is from 6S
degrees to 81 degrees, and in the in
terror from 64 degrees to "a degrees.
It is easy to see the effect Of the
oceans in thus limiting the range of
temperature, but necessarily there is
an increase in the humidity which is
high throughout the year. There is
a great difference in the rainfall on
the Pacific and Atlantic coasts. About
140 inches may be anticipated on the
former, while only half that amount
will fall on the Atlantic side. From
January to April the fall is very slight
throughout the isthmus, and therefore
several successive months of dry wea-
ther can be counted upon, which can
not but be Of great advantage in the
engineering operations. Winds are
always light, and give no trouble.
Greater velocities than 20 miles an
hour are rarely met with.
The general health statistics are
not unfavorablc. Recent inquiries
show that the mortality due to disease
of the climate has steadily diminished
since 1881, while the percentage of
deaths arising from European dis
eases has not increased. or the to-
tai death rate. 81 per cent, IS due to
chronic organic diseases common to
all countries and only per cent. is
Is chargeable to local effects. This
material Improvement Is due in some
measure to the fact that the excava-
tons have reached a level below the
poisonous emanations Of decaying Or
ganic matter, while on the other hand,
greater sanitary precautions have
reduced the effects of yellow fever.

Too Much Talk Of Birth.

When the Society Of the Cincinnati
was formed there was the most yehe.
ment opposition to the principles OF
founding here an hereditary order.
There is less danger to-day OF an, aris-
tocracy of birth winning any real as
tendency in this land than there was
when the nation was just breaking
away from the English tradition. But
there is to-day in some quarters an
unmistakable development Of snob-
berry which lays an absurd emphasis
on the circumstance of birth. A line
of worthy ancestors is an excellent
thing-if any ancient virtues have
been transmitted to the children. An
honored name is an enviable possess
sion-when its living owner bears
himself worthily. Membership in an
hereditary patriotic order is possibly
an adyantage-so long as it inspires
the member to serve hisScountry TO-
day in causes no less holy, though
maybe less heroic, than those which
his order commemorates. Other ad-
yantages than these birth does not
confer.-Philadelph Ledger.

The BIacksnake's Call,


I found myself somewhat muddy
and breathing a little hard; but was
not wholly chagrined. I had never
even known of the habit before. Since
then I have seen one other snake dc
it, and I think l have heard the sound
three or four times. It is almost in
describable. TIE jaws were closed
as it was made, not even the throat
moving, that could see. The all
seemed to be blown violently through
the nostrils, though sounding as y
driven through the teeth-a shrilHne
hiss, fine and piercing, which one no'
SO much hears as feels-feefs 1t crisp
ing cold along his nerves. 1t may seem
strange, but I believe this whistle
is a mating call. Even the forked
tongue (or maybe nose) of a snake
grows vocal with love. If only the
Sphinx had not heart of stone! Nc
matter about it's lips; with heart tc
know the "spring running we. should
have heard it's story long ago. Per
haps, after all, the college sophomore
was not mixing his observations and
Sunday school memories when he
wrote, describing the dawn of spring
morning :Q quote from his essay
Beneath me in the water the little
fishes darted about the boat; above
the little birds twittered In the
branches; while off on sunny log in
the pond the soft, sibilant croak Of
the mud turtle was heard on the
shore.".' = % ,> a..
If we could happen upon the mud
turtle mad with love, am sure we
should find that he had a voice.
"soft, sibilant croak," who knows?-

BUILDINGS Cracked by Drought.

For seven Or eight years the Mid
land and some of the Eastern coun-
ties of England have been steadily
drying up. Many of the beautiful old
churches that lie along the valley Of
the Meme, near the Huntingdonshire
and Lincolnshire fens. and along the
junction lines of Northamptonshire
and Huntingdonshire. have been show
ing alarming signs of splitting, and in
very few cases have the engineers
been able to arrest the harm. After
the third or fourth year of drought
the mari of the subsoil began to
shrink. and the effect was at once
seen in cracks in the walls, which in
some cases threatened actually to split
the churches in two. To redress the
balance nothing would have been Of
any use but such an amount of rain
as would restore the quality Of the
clay and mari 1t has come at last,
and many buildings, old farm homes"
as well as churches, will be saved

Takinq Care of the Pennies.

A new and very convincing way to
demonstrate to boys and girls that Il
they will take care of the pennies the
dollars will take care of themselves
has recently been discovered by the
pupils of one OF the public schools IN
Washington D. c., the national capl-
tai. These young people, acting under
the direction of their principal, have
started a school savings bank, which
is conducted in every way just like the
great institutions where their fathers
place their money for safe-keeping.
The principal makes himself RESPONSE
bic for the safe-keeping of the funds,
and at the close of each days business
deposits the daily receipt in one OF
the city's ordinary commercial bank
ing institutions.-From "a School Saw

Peruna cures catarrh of the pelvic or
rans with the same surety as it cures
catarrh of the head. Peruna has be-
come renowned as a positive cure tor
female ailments, simply because the all
ments are mostly due to catarrh. Ca
tarrn is the cause of the trouble. Pc
runa cures the catarrh. The symptoms
disappear.

self i'll enough to go to bed, but she is far
from being able to do her work without
the greatest exhaustion. This is very
common sight, and is almost always due to
pelvic catarrh.
It is worse tnan foolish for SO many
women to suffer year after year with dis
ease that can be permanently cured.
Peruna cures catarrh permanently. 1t
cures old chrome cases as well as slight
attack, the only difference being in the
length of time that it should be taken to
effect cure.
If you do not derive prompt and satisfac-
tory results from the use of Peruna, write
at once to DR.. Hartman, giving'a full state
ment OF your case and he will be pleased to
give you his valuable advice gratis.
