PARADE OF MILITARY
ON DAVIS BIRTHDAY.
Hon. Walter G. Charlton VIII De-
liver Address Mt Night.

At the meeting OF the Confederate
Veterans Association last night an
nouncement was made by Capt. l..
G. Young, that arrangements were
nearly complete for the observance
of the anniversary of the birth of
President Jefferson Davis, June 3. A
parade of the military, and an address
by Hon. Walter G.. Charlton will mark
the day.
Capt. Young stated that he had al
ready received assurances from the
First Regiment that it would parade
and that from what he could learn
the other companies of military would
probably do the same. The parade
will be held during the afternoon, the
definite hour of starting and the line
of march not yet having been arrang-
ed.
The orator of the day will be the
Hon. Walter G.. Charlton. The adj
dress will be delivered at night in
the Guards Hall. An appropriate pro-
gramme of music will probably be ar
ranged to precede the address, SINH
lar to that of Memorial Day. Public
announcement of the details of the
observance of the day will be made
as soon as they are complete.

Street Paving Request.
Mayor Myers stated yesterday that
the city had mapped out about all
the paving this year that the funds
on hand would allow and he did not
see how State street could be paved
by the Telfair Art Gallery.
The dust from the street is running
many of the works Of art at the acad-
envy. Mayor Myers suggests that by
sprinkling the streets the dust may be
kept down. He says the paving may
be taken up later, but not now.
Alderman Dixon, chairman of Coun-
Gil, is in favor of the paving. He says
thinks State street should be paved
from Bull to jefferson. and Barnard
street for the block in front of the
academy.

Russia Is the exhibition Of would be
brides, which takes place annually at
Klui, near Moscow. On the festival q
the Epiphany (Russian style) all the
young women who wish to get married
in the course Of the year are mustered
in long row in the principal street.
In order to make themselves attractive
to the young men who come to see and
admire them they don nearly every
thing in their possession. Not only do
they put on their best clothes, but also
a lot of curious old family trinkets, In
Guiding sometimes valuable scarfs,
cloaks and furs, and they even bring
with them their bed linen and other
articles of their wardrobe. A process
sion is formed, and on their way to
the church the young men approach
the would be brides, engage them In
conversation, and il the young people
think they suit one another forma

was served In genuine pampn fashion.
One iron spoon and two cows horns

group, the members of which squatted
upon their launches and freely helped
themselves from the kettle Even In
this most uncivilized form of satisfy

TIDAL WAVES.
The Forces Which Start These Dam
Serous Volumes of Water.


The ocean tidal wave sometimes
called the primitiye-is formed by the
union of two waves, produced by the
combined attractions of the sun and
the moon. This wave i'll its most dan
gerous form sometimes sweeps over
ships in the open sea and in its ordi-
nary course produces the tides proper.
Where the outline of the land, as in
the bay of Fundy and the Bristol chan
mel. congresses the force of its flood
with narrow estuaries it also gives rise
to tidal waves, which are termed de-
rivative and are also known colloquial-
~ as .'bores," or eagres.
Earthquakes are also a cause of tidal
waves of two sorts. One is due to
shocks which occur on land and cause
a retreat and reflux Of the sea within
the usual tidal limits, but where an
earthquake shakes the sea bed dome
shaped mount Of water rises over the
center of the disturbance and draws
the surrounding water into the vortex
beneath it. AS this dome subsidies it
sends an immense rolling mass swing
ing across the ocean, which creates q
most formidable tidal wave.

The massage of the scalp is at the
root of all treatment of the hair. By
stimulating the flow of blood to the
scalp new yigor is given to the hair.
Without this massage hair restoratiyes

Now this massage may be better done
by masseur than by the man or
woman who is growing bald. but it is
possible for that individual to massage
his own scalp we'll enough to do the
hair great deal of good.
Tie hands should be half folded and
the ends of the fingers made TO touch
the scalp lightly. Then rub them slow
ly over the scalp.
1t is convenient to begin at the back
Of the neck and rub the scalp slowly
up the center of the head to the fore
head. Then the rubbing should be done
all over the head from one side Of the
scalp to the other. 1t should be repeat
ed several times.
The same glow that the expensive
fingers of the masseur produce follows,
showing that the circulation i'll the
scalp has been stimulated. The fingers
should be pressed on the scalp with
sufficient force to cause the blood te
tingie.

One of the finest echoes of which we
have record is mentioned by Barthius
in his notes on the Thebais Of Status.
This was on the banks of the Naha, be-
tween Coblenz and Bingen, where an
original sound was repeated seventeen
times
At Milan is an echo which reiterates
the report of a pistol from fifty to sixty
times. In caye of the Pantheon it is
said that the guide, by Tapping his
coat, makes noise equal to the report
Of twelve FOUNDER Pliny speaks of

The sweetest echo in all the world
answers q call at the side OF the tomb
of Nur- Mahal dud Jehanhgir, at Agra.
The guide raises the cry, Great is God,
and Mohammed is his prophet-Allah

notes are heard in the echo, which re-
vertebrate round the dome and ascend
until they reach the smaller dome,
where they reunite and escape from

A LOST ISLAND.

Old West Indian Legend That Dates

There is an old legend in the West
Indies which has been handed down
from the time of Columbus to the ef-
feet that somewhere among the numer-
Gus Gays of the Caribbean sea there
exists an island inhabited only by wo-
men.
The aboriginal Caribs and Ararwaks
found it inconvenient to have women
around in times of war. Usually when
the enemy conquered a number Of the
tribes fairest maidens were carried
off. So goes the story.
The deplorable possibility of losing
all the women of the tribe was averted.
however, by the prompt action Of the
chiefs, who ordered all OF the remain

island in the Caribbean. According to
the legend, the place is copiously
watered by ideal streams. overshad-
owed by breadfruit. mango. plantain
and all the necessaries to life and
poetry. The husbands and lovers were
more than twice a year in times OF
peace.
But it is further handed down that
all the men of the tribe were even.
tually wiped out in an Indian war and
that all trace of the isle of women was
lost. According to Washington Irving.
even Columbus made vain efforts to
find it.
