The Egg shampoo.

Blond women who wish to preserve the light tints of their hair must forego the refreshing egg shampoo. The raw egg wash is undoubtedly one of the best hair tonics, and the brunette type can indulge in it with impunity, but the sulphur in the egg renders it dan- gerous to golden locks. The change Is slow, but noticeable in time. One wc- man had pretty golden hair which has steadily been growing darker for years. A few months ago she happened to mention the fact to a chemist friend and then for the first time learned why. Cor. Good Housekeeping.

 Mayor Hummer has with the sane ton of the municipality readily aided the needy, who are declared to be few, but he announced in statement that with the arrival of a detachment of the militia all unemployed men of the company who have refused to accept the offers of work elsewhere will be forced to leave.
 Since the attack by the mob on the company's offices the local militia, re- enforced by the police, has guarded the plants and industries of the com- pany, but order has been observed, and communication between the two Soos, which was ordered stopped, was resumed It is planned also to start the street cars on the Canada side inn mediately. There are 500 woodsmen in the camps of the company, but as a measure of protection the company, according to William Coyne, assistant to President Shields, will not allow them to come in until all of the BIO troops en route will have arrived All though they are said by MT. Coyne to be we'll provided with food and to have been given good sleeping quarters, the men, he says, are dissatisfied, which has caused them to protest against being left at Wilde Station, which ended in a demonstration similar to that which occurred here, but not so serious,
 The men, Mr. Coyne said, became an gry when told they would be held at the station overnight and began to throw rocks at the engine crew. The fusillade of missiles became so heavy that to escape with their lives the crew under pretense of switching the train, after an engine and two coaches had been uncoupled, started down the main track on the Algoma Central road, leaving the foreigners behind. Some of them, unwilling to stay there, have walked to the Soo.a

 Prof. Marion is an advocate, with Profs. Scripture. of Yale; Cusachs, of Annapolis, and De Sumichrast, of Harvard, of the advanced "talking-ma- chine" method of teaching the lan- guages.

OUR GAME RESOURCES.

If the wild dogs of I<au have got so
that they attack and kill human
beings on the highway the difference
between them and the wolves of Rus
STA is not great enough to warrant the
government in letting them alone.
They deserve to be cleaned out, II
necessary by the grant of a bounty
for each wild dog destroyed. The
counties where such fierce animals are
at large may well take the matter up
when they are ready for business.
With wild pigs and cattle, deer and
goats roaming the upland forests to
the detriment of the young trees, and
with the need of DISCRIMINATING the
pigs, cattle. deer and goats in case
a system OF forestry is devised. 1t
might not be bad idea to drop line
into the tourist folders about Hawaii
being "A sportsman's paradise. Hun
ters form no small part of the people
who roam about the world; thousands
of them are in the west on account of
the game. Here there is good sport
with just enough danger in it, vide

spice. Why not let the fact be known:

SUNDAY NEWSPAPERS.

/ Magistrate German of Philadelphia
| has rendered a decision In the case
against the employees of several of the
| city newspapers. the Union News COM
pany and the Crane Ice Cream com
I pany, who, 1t was alleged, had violated
| the SUNDAY blue law" of 1894, which Il
decidedly refreshing. In an elaborate
opinion, supported by many legal au-
thorities, he dismissed the charges.
Among other things the magistrate
finds that there is a defect in the COM
plant by the omission to aver that the
publica ton and sale of newspapers on
Sunday was not a necessity" and
Charity" that this omission is fatal
to prosecution, and that II for no other
reason he would be compelled to dis
charge the defendants.
IF 1t were necessary, however" he
said, ito determine this question, GER
tainly should be inclined to decide 1t as
a matter of fact only in the affirmative.
Perhaps no enterprise, whether with a
view OF newspapers commercially or in
a literary sense, has made such rapid
and marvellous strides as the public
press. 1t has kept abreast, and some-
times ahead, of the wonderful develop
ment of the commonwealth.
eft keeps men informed on every
event of public interest and in man
ner furnishes the only common channel
of communication between the people.
1t watches with care over the conduct
of our public officers and the manner
of the performance of their duties. 1t
molds, If it does not form, public opin-
ion. upon public questions, and con-
serves the interests of citizen and pub
lie which 1t would be impossible to do
in any other way. 1t educates, inspires
elevates and strengthens
the love of home and country.
'In recent years the press has been
of material assistance in apprehending
notorious criminals and exposing crime
and wrong in public and private places.
1t protects the weak, encourages the
and teaches lessons of
to those who never hear the
word of God except such as may be
published in a newspaper.
TT is well known that there is a .
of non-church persons to .
whom the newspaper addresses itself |
every Sunday and have no doubt that |
n large number of citizens would dis
pense with some necessities to obtain /
their newspapers on Sunday, as well .
as on other days.
For many other and equally good .
reasons the press is a necessity. t
not aware that at least 100000 persons
buy, and perhaps equally as many more
read, this city's newspapers"
