should be washed before using to bring
out its glossy beauty, fasten the ber-
ries gathered in the swamp, and use
grasses among them if you choose.
Some of the berries can be dipped in
mucilage and busted with mica and
combined with the scarlet clusters. The
frosty white and glowing scarlet har-
monte well and contrast strongly and
heighten the effect of each other.
The delicate MOSES that are found
in pine forests can be made effective

QUEER ALMANACS.
Australian Shepherds Have Odd
Ways of Marking Time.


The boundary riders Of the great
Australian sheep ranches have each
district to look after. in which one
must keep the wire fences in repair
and see that the sheep come to no
harm. 1t is hard and lonely life, liv-
Ing, as each boundary rider does quite
alone in the wilderness. A writer tells
of some of the curious ways in which
these solitary men keep count of the
days
One old man who had lived in the
back country for thirty years used two
jam tins and seven pebbles. One tin
was marked, This week. and the 9th
err Last week. On Monday morning
he would take a pebble from Last
week" and drop it. into "This week.
and each subsequent morning till This
week had swallowed the seven. They
We're returned to Last week and the
old fellow knew that another Sunday
had passed.
Another man had tried and failed
with several plans. At last he hit on a
new idea. He made big damper (cake
of flour and waterl on Sunday night
and marked it into seven sections,
each section being a days allowance,
SO that every time he picked up the
damper tie grocer would remind him
Of the day Unfortunately one Tues
day there came a visitor with raven
Gus appetite The host stinted him
self that the hungry one might be sat
isfied with the days section. But he
wasn't. With anxious eyes the host
saw the knife clearing the boundary
line and the hungry man ruthlessly
carving into his almanac. At last he
could stand it ne longer
sStop, stop.n he cried as he grabbed
the damper and glared at it.
There, he said, you've eaten Toos-
day and We'n'day, and now yer wanter

some Sources of Headache.

Among the many things that produce
headache are long continued straining
Of the eyes, sudden excitement, bad air
and want of ventilation, alcoholic
drinks and a variety of other causes.
Another fruitful source of headache in
men is the absurd fashion of hats
which society now imposes. Tight
boots and shoes will also cause head
ache and destroy comfort of motion
and happiness. They prevent the flow
Of blood to the extremities and cause
slight congestion of the brain. Tea
drinking is often an unsupported cause
of headache, causing. as it does, ex-
haustion of the nervous system, and
coffee the same thing.

Row 10 Arrange the Christmas Menu.

1t is possible to preserve all or most
Of the Christmas traditions without
serving prostrating menu. Avoid
having too many things to eat with the
turkey or the roast pig. Certain vege-
tables belong to each, but there is no
use in having them all. Have only
one heavy dessert, plum pudding or
minee pie, with the ice cream. Have q
light salad course and a light soup
leaving room for the substantials with
cut danger of Indigestion.

France and the Vatican.

The Paris Matin says that eight days
after the recall of NJ. Nisard, former
French Ambassador at the Vatican, a
number of French bishops received an
order from Cardinal Vannutelli, acting
for the Vatican, to tender their resigna-
tons by return of mail. The bishops,
il is added, consulted the minister Of
public worship and Premier COmbes,
who directed them not to tender their re-
signations, on the ground that the con-
cordat required the assent of the State
before removals were enforced. There
after the papal secretary of State, Cardi-
nal Merry del Val, threatened the bishops
of the termination of their episcopal
powers unless they cameto Rome within
fifteen days. This also was submitted
TO NJ. Combes, who forbade the bishops
leaving their posts. The cabinet has
also formulated q protest, which will be
forwarded to the Vatican, against the
effort to remove bishops without obser-
vance of the governments rights under
the concordat. An answer has been re-
ceiyed in the case of Bishop Geay, the
Vatican maintaining that it was dis
ciplinary measure not intended to con-
test the state rights under the cOncordat.
The Matin further asserts that the dis
missal of the bishops without consulting
the governments wishes will be consid-
cred as a formal remuneration of the re-
lations between church and state.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. JULY 10, 1904.
Defends Her Negro Love.

Katie Joseph, the l5-year-old daughter
of Perry Joseph, of Hollyyille, DEL,
who was believed to have been beaten to
death by negro named Bowen, after
being the victim of a serious crime, was
located Saturday evening alive and well.
She was living with the colored family
of Lambert Sturgiss, at Newark, No.
So miles from Georgetown, Del. :,
The girl is now in the hands OF kindly
white people, and will be restored to her
narents. Many believe she is under a
hypnotic spell, for the least sign from
Bowen has a peculiar influence upon her.
ait was my fault as much as Neds, +"
she exclaimed when found. 81 don't
. want to go home. They wouldn't buy
me clothes and they are harsh to me. "
She spoke in a hysterical manner and
cried when told that it was reported
Bowen had been arrested.
Her father is struggling farmer and
could not afford fancy dresses. To leave
home, it is declared, she was promised
several new gowns and diamond rings.
Edward Bowen, the negro charged
with the abduction of the girl, was sur
prised yesterday by G. G. Mumford,
prominent lumber merchantat Showells,
90 miles from Indian river hundred,
Bowen's home. Mr.. Mumford was
armed with a repeating rife. When
confronted the negro trembled and SAID /:
''She wanted to 90 away from home"
He admitted the girl attended dance
of colored people on July 4. Mumford
continued to question him until the ne
gro, taking desperate chance, broke
away and escaped. Bowen has lived the
life of hunted rat for the past FIVE days.
He has succeeded in eyading his pur-
suers, although nearly captured score
of times. Yesterday he was within
rife shot of the detectives at Showells,
Nd, but .evaded the officers by crossing
small stream and hiding in thicket.
Sheriff John r. Steele, Constable War
rington and Detectives Francis and
Radledge and posse of citizens are hot
on his chase, and declare that his cap
ture is only matter of few hours.
Threats of speedy punishment are
made by many, but the authorities have
taken special precautions to protect their
prisoner. A large thrOng is parading
the streets in the vicinity of the little
brick and frame prison in Georgetown,
DEL, awaiting the arrival of Sheriff
steele, the detectives and armed citizens
with their prisoner.
The action of the colored colony in
harboring the girl and endeavoring to
keep her whereabouts a secret led to
threats of dire vengeance by the white
population at Queponco, for miles
around, and there is fear that a slight
additional provocation would start riot.

NIP IT IN THE BUD.
First Appearance of Dandrun n Fore
runner of Future Badness.

That such Is the case has been con-
clusively proven by scientific research.
Prof. Unna, the noted European skin
specialist. declares that dandruff is the
burrowed-up cuticle of the scalp. caused
by parasites destroying the vitality in
the hair bulb. The hair becomes llfeless.
and. in time, falls out. This can be pre-
vented.
Newbros Herpicide kills this dandrunf
germ, and restores the hair to its natural
softness and abundancy.
Herpicide Is now used by thousands OF
people-all satisfied that 1t is the most
wonderful hair preparation on the mar
ket to-day.
