CAUSE OF FALLING HAIR.
DandruT, which is Germ DIsease-KnI
s'lofu the Germ. .1- ft--

Falling hair is caused by dandrutf,
which is a germ disease. The germ
in burrowing into the root of the
hair. where it destroys the vitality of
the hair, causing the hair to fall out,
digs up the cuticle in little scales,
called dandruff or scurf. You can't
stop the falling hair without curing
the dandruff, and you can't cure the
dandruff without killing the dandrutf
germ. Destroy the cause, you re-
move the effect" Newbro's Herpicide
is the only hair preparation that kills
the dandruff germ. Herpicide is also
a delightful hair dressing. For sale

Famous Dogs Are Extinct.

Dog lovers are discovering with re-
greet that one of the finest canine spe-
cies has become almost extinct. The
Newfoundland is practically no more
in this country and in England
The DISTINGUISHING breed is native
in the Island Of Newfoundland, and old
records say early settlers found the In
dams in possession of magnificent spe-
cimens. 1t Is generally supposed, how
ever, that the Newfoundland was the
result of a cross of some English strain
and the native dogs
At any rate, this particular animal is
celebrated in history as the emboii-
ment Of courage and intelligence and
klndness-the highest type Of canine ex-
cellence. Landseer in his famous paint
ing "The Child's Best Friend" render
ed the species immortal
In spite of this, it is a fact that the
valuable dog, in its original habitat,
is quite extinct. And he was most
useful there, too in saving drowning
persons along the storm-swept coast,
where shipwrecks are frequent. Never
theless, 1t is charged that it was
through starvation and neglect that
these famous dogs died in Newfound.
land itself.
The British government has lately
been obliged to purchase for the New
foundland life-saving station new
breed Of dogs to take their places. These
are the LeOnbergS, a cross between
Newfoundlands, st. Demands and Pyre-
nees wolf dog. They are the most pow
erfully built dogs in the world aud
stand more than four feet high. Those
sent to Newfoun land the British gov
eminent paid from $3.50 to 800 apiece
for, and some specimens have sold for
as high as $500

Learn How to Rrpathe.

1t is possible to exercise ones whole
body, to keep it strong and well, simply
by breathing properly. Children should
be taught to breathe and to get into
the habit of filling the whole lung space
at each inhalation and of emptying it
completely at each eXhalation. There
is no better way of getting to sleep soon
after going to bed than by breathing
properly. Push away the pillow and
lie fiat upon the back, with the muscles
relaxed. Slowly draw in the deepest
breath possible, hold it for four seconds,
then slowly eXpel it until the chest and
abdomen have collapsed. Repeat this
until you are tired or fall asleep. There
are scores of ways Of varying this ex-
ercise. But this is the essential. or
course 1t is assumed that one sleeps
with his bedroom windows open.

Chinese Fond of Gaming.

The heather Chnee" portrayed by
Bret Harte, with Ibis sleeves full of
aces and bowers" is not a creation Of
fiction. In fact, almost every native
of the celestial empire Is a born gam
bier and will hazard all he possesses
on the turn of a card. If there is one
thing the Chinese in America cannot
understand regarding our customs It
is why the police and courts should
take cogniZance of gambling. 1t is a
recognized amusement in China and
the Chinaman is a reckless gambler.
They have several kinds of playing
cards, but the general name for them
is chepae or paper tickets. The cards
are two inches and half in length and
half an inch wide and the kind most
commonly used are called tseen-wan-
che-pae, "a thousand times 10000
cards" This pack has thirty cards
three suits of nine each and three in
dependent suits which are superior to
the rest. The suits are named respec-
lively mine myrlads of strings Of
beads" mine units of cakes" and mine
units of chains"
There are several queer names for
other varieties Of playing cards. One
is called "the hundred boys cards." an
other "chariots, horses and guns" and
third, curously devised ON the princi-
pie Of some of our historical games, is
called "a thousand times 10000 mems
names cards"

from time to time, to gaze along the for

the air seemed to announce coming
storm.

"Returned"' cried Humphrey, fiercely;

The captain tried to utter some angry

to be full of whispers, of hoarse signs,
the catching of breath, harsh eXpratiOns
as the contending pair swayed here and
there-the captain, 1.-the and active as
panther, battling again and again Hum

Twice over the latter trpped and nearly
fell, but he recovered himself and strug
gled on, seeking to wind his arms round

to twist like an eel and recover himself,

a low, jangling noise as sword escaped
from its scabbard and fell upon the stony
floor.
1t was a trihing incident, but it attract
ment-just long enough to put him off his
guard-the result being that he was
thrown heavily, Humphrey planting his
knee upon his breast and as he thrust out
hand it encountered the fallen sword,
which he snatched up with shout Of
triumph shortened in his hand, and held
to the buccaneers throat
"Now," he cried. fercely, 81 have the

Humphrey sprang from his couch and
was about to speak, when the curtain
was roughly thrown aside, and Bart en-

Bart looked at him sourly, and then
gave a suspicious look round.

hastily.

Humphrey gazed excitedly at the dim

which streamed in beside the curtain,
and then as the curtain fell he advanced
slowly till he could peer through and see
that Bart had gone to the far end of the
corridor, where he had lantern set in
stone recess, beside which he ensconced
himself, and played sentry once again.
Escape is impossible unless l choose
the gates of death" muttered Humphrey.

gloom would allow, Humphrey seated
himself upon the edge Of the old stone al
tar, and folded his arms, to see what
would be the next buffet Of fate he was
to bear.
There was the sound Of challenge at
the end Of the corridor, and quick re-
ply, followed by an angry muttering, and
Humphrey laughed mockngly.
Master and dog" he said, bitterly.
Mistress and dog, ought to say"
He drew himself up, for he heard a
well-known step coming quickly along
the passage. The curtain was snatched
aside, and the buccaneer took dozen
strides into the place and stopped, look
ing around.
