WARNS ONAMERICAN FINANCE
The London Times Says That Growing
Liabilities Are . Source
Of Danger.

In an editorial article discussing the
present economic situation in the Unit
ed States the London Times says it
considers that, although the CONNER
cial credit of the United States is per-
haps not quite so good as it was
year ago and the actual situation not
entirely free from disquieting fea-
lures, yet, being favored with good
harvests and promising cotton crop,
business prospects appear to be
healthy for another year.
For the next few months, at least,
the big harvests of the United States
will probably secure the business
world against the collapse OF credit in
New York, but" the paper continues,
''unless we are to accept the new fan
gled doctrine that in some mysterious
way economic laws need not be taken
into account where America is con-
cerned, the present state of things and
the present fashion OF finance cannot
continue forever

STATUES HAVE SMAS-.
E,pid emmc Of Disease Among Bronze
Figures I'm Athens-HOw They
Are Affected.

A most extraordinary disease, ex-
tremely infectious and resembling
smallpox among human beings, has
broken out among the statues in the
Egyptian room of the National mu-
scum here, says an Athens (Greece)
correspondent of the New York
Times. A few days ago the distin-
guished politician and archaeologist,
Mr.. Stephanos Skouloudes, noticed
some strange green marks on one of
the bronze statues of the famous
Egyptian collection presented to the
museum in 1881 by Mr.. Demetrios, of
Alexandria. He at once commune
Gated his discovery to the curator
who called in experts to examine the
statue in question. They pronounced
the marks to be due to an infectious
complaint, to which bronze is liable,
and which gradually spreads from
the surface of the object affected to
away into dust. The other bronze
statues in the same room were then
inspected, with the result that they
were all found to he more or less
tainted with the disease, while five
of them had taken it in most ag-
gravated form. These five are the
statues of Anta the goddess of war;
of Maout, wife of Jupiter Ammon;
of Isis, and two statues of Osiris, one
of them of the greatest value. Worse
that that, the infection has spread
to the Mycenaean room. which con-
tains the results of the late DR..
Schliemann's excavations in 1876.
There a dagger, which was found in
the fourth and finest of the six
tombs, has fallen victim to the mall
ady. Altogether about fifty statues
are badly affected, and the loss will
be enormous unless the plague can
be stayed. A leading Athenian
chemist pronounces the cause of the
malady to be the presence of salt in
the bronze of which the statues are
made, and his remedy is to extract
it by means of baths. Mr.. Momphe-
matos, the minister under whose de-
partment the museum comes, is TAX
ing steps to save the bronzes.

A delightful set of curls can be
made by wetting the head with a

are sprinkled. The hair IS now put
up into curriers' and either left in over
night or pressed with hot irons and
taken down. It should be aired as
long as possible by a hot fire or radia-
tor, before the comb is put into it.
Making Waves.
In making waves upon the head
have the hair as dry as a bone. Then
run the tongs through it, giving
them a twist here and there, until the
whole head is a mass of waves. Then
go over it again, trying to deepen

applied TO the curling of the locks, is
that the heat drives out ali moisture,
and as the moisture goes the hair be-

The kids are pinched with hot irons
and are left in the hair several hours.

Very hot curriers' burn the hair and do

iron for one whole minute by the
clock, and IS then released but not
combed out.

SENSATIONAL and mysteri-
Gus jewel robbery. Of which
the Earl and Countess Of Car

A SENSAIIONAL and mysteri-
~ Gus jewel robbery. of which
the Earl and Countess Of Car
narvon are the victims, is engaging
the attention of the London and
Paris police. It presents many feat
ures In common with the extraordi-
nary loss sustained by the Dowager
Duchess of Sutherland.
Lord and Lady Carnarvon had been
staying in Paris for some time, g the
Ritz Hotel On Sunday morning tzey

only other members Of the party be-
Ing a valet and maid.
Calais was reached in due course,
and the baggage was transferred to
the Channel steamer, and thence to
the Victoria train at Dover, without
anything occurring TO indicate any If
regularity.
Discovery Is Made.
On reaching their town house in
Berkeley Square the discovery Of the
theft was made.
SO far no trace Of the jewels or the
thieves has been found It is thought
that the robbery is the work Of a
clever gang Of Continental rogues who
make the railway route between Paris
and Calais their hunting ground and
II is understood that Inspector Drew
Is to leave at once for France to as
sist the French police in recovering
the jewels. for which Lord Carnarvon
has offered q large reward.
The police have no doubt that the
robbery took place between Paris and
Calais, but, however this may be, the
crime was cleverly planned and dar-
ingIy carried out. The thieves clearly
knew just where to place their hands
on the booty. and the exact moment
to choose for the robbery.
The most remarkable part Of the
story, however. is that the thieves
were SO perfectly acquainted witt all
the steps adopted with the idea OF
battling them. None Of the other bag
gage shows signs Of having been tam
pered with. but the unobtrusive ard
innoccnt-looking dress basket seems
to have made an instant appeal to the
expert train thief.
The articles stolen include twelve
rings, eight gold bangles, ten brooches
and two watches. The following is a
detailed list supplied by Lord Car
uarvOn:
Twelve rings, including
One cross-over, set with large

hair.
For rather coarse hair there is a
curling treatment which might be
tried by the one who desires rfngIets.
This is particularly good for the hair
that lies upon the forehead. Take Of

hair has been shampooned, moisten
the front locks and do them up.
They viii be a little stfn, but viii lie
upon the forehead nicely.
The Soft Temple Curl.
If very soft curls are desired-IittIe
ringlets which cover the tempies-it
is better to -se only water. Let the
hair be well washed and dried. Then
wet the lock well with water and
shake It out. Shake until half dry,
and put up in kid rollers IN such a
way that the hairs are all exposed to
the air. Then dry. take down, and a
very nice set of little ringlets will be
found.
The secret Of curling the hair on
the kid. or other curIer. is to let it
remain up until every particle of
moisture IS gone. Hair will often ap-
pear to be perfectly dry when it in
reality contains a little dampness.
Then it is taken down too soon. with
the result that it Immediately loses
its curl.
