DIFFICULT TASK.

do you know one of the most diff
cult things in this business" said the
barber as he ran the comb through the
hair brush lis in the matter of comb
ing a customers hair? 1t is rather
singular fact that you will find few
BARRIERS who have succeeded In sowing
the problem of combing their custom
er's hair just as he wants it, no matter
how long the man may have been
patron of his chair. OF course there
are few exceptions to this rule. There
are a few men in the world who DO
not care whether their hair is combed
at all or not With this class of men
of course it doesn't make much diner
ence how the barber combs the hair.
But at least ninety out of every one
hundred men who patronize barber
shops are very particular about the
way YOU comb their hair, and unless
you have inspired them with extraor-
binary confidence, unless, in fact, they
have a better opinion of the barber s
Judgment than they have of their own,
the barber will miss the mark When
he comes to put the finishing touches
on the hair. The reason for TINS is not
altogether a matter of vanity. Ihefe
are a great many men whose looks are
completely changed by a change IN the
way the hair is combed. Take the man,
for instance, who is in the habit or
parting his hair on the side, and part
it in the middle: or the man who is IN
| the habit of combing his hair down
and parting it on one side-suppose
you roach or pompadour the hair-ean
you not see what changes would follow
in the general appearance of the man
This fact has much to do with making
| the combing of a mans hair matter
of much difficulty, and l do not eX-
| aggerate when 1 say it is one OF the
BARRIERS hardest tasks. New Orleans

Francis G. Luke has had checkered
career in Salt Lake City and has been
defendant before police and other courts
there on various charges on account OF
objection to his methods being made by
persons from whom he has endeavored
to collect.
On one occasion two lower courts
found both Francis G. Lake and his
brother guilty of the offense of abstract
ing documents from the docket OF
Justice OF the peace, the allegation being
that the documents had been altered. The

VOWED in scandal which was far

technicality. The matter was treated
conspicuously in the Salt Lake Tribune
Manager Luke IS now being sued by

KIDD is KINDLY
THANKED BY HEARST

r. B. Kidd, Hearst's manager IN the
local democratic campaign who land
ed an instructed delegation, has re-
cefyed the following tribute of thanks
from his chief. Il is very gratifying
to the recipient, for, though virtue is
it's own reward, virtue does not always
name the prize-winner in black and
white as a matter of record:
New York, August 4. 1904.
Dear Mr.. Kidd wish to express to
you my sincere appreciation OF your
personal efforts in my behalf, and
through YOU of the steadfast support
accorded me by the delegation from
Hawaii in the recent National ConFen-
ton. 1t is a matter of great gratif1ca-
ton TO me that, while the convention
did not see fit to honor me with the
nomination for president, have gain
ed the friendship and encouragement of
so many Democrats even in far off Ha-
wall. In taking up the fight nave
made against special class privileges
and illegal combinations of capital, L
expected, of course that I would lose
some friendships formed in earlier days,
and my expectations have come true.
But l am more than repaid by new
friends such as yourself and my other
Hawaiian supporters. I shall never
forget their loyalty, and their interests
will ever be a matter of personal con-
Germ to me.
Yours sincerely.
w. r. HEARST.

Paul Isenberg, Esq.
Dear Sir: In re proposed running OF
buses from Rapid Transit terminus TO
Polo Grounds on Saturday, August z4th'
l would suggest in view of the protest
made by certain hack-driyers, that no
fare be charged for transporting pas
sangers by such busses.
Strictly speaking it requires license
if passengers are carried for hire, and
although it is an exceedingly small
matter to complain about as long as
a complaint has been made / would
suggest that people be carried free.
Yours truly,

All day the weary crowds move on
Thro the gray city's sitting heat,
With anxious air, with jaded mien,
To strife, to labor, to defeat.
But 1 possess my soul in calm,
Because I know, unvexed by noise,
Somewhere across the city's hum,
Your splendid spirit keeps its poise.
Because I see you bright and brave,
say to my respondent heart,
Up. Iofterer; put off this guise
OF gloom, and play the sturdier part. "
Three things are given man to do
To dare, to labor and to grow;
Not otherwise from earth we came,
Not otherwise our way we go.
Three things are given man to be
Cheerful undoubting and humane;
Surviving thro' the direst fray,
Preserving the untarnished strain.
Three things are given man to know
Beauty and truth and honor. These
Are the nine virtues of the soul
Her mystic powers and estacies.
And when I see you braveiy tread
That difficult and doubtful way,
up. waverer, Wilt thou desert
Thy comrade?'' to my heart I say
Then bitterness and sullen fear.
Mistrust and anger are no more;
That quick, gay step is in the hall.
That raHying voice is at the door

A Russian REGIMENT.

The Russian infantry regiment con-
sists Of four battalions, and each bat
TALON has four companies. There is
one extra company to every regiment,
making seventeen in all. On the peace
footing the company means over 100
men. besides the commissioned off,
GERS. So the regiment consists Of
1857 men. 20 officers, and rs horses.
On the war footing, which is what the
dispatches deal with now, the strength
is doubled. Hence the regiment be-
comes 20 officers, 3945 men and 100
horses. In actual field operations, OF
course, the numbers are reduced, more
or less, by the sick list, the men de-
tached for various duties. and the
breaks in the lines made by death
and untitled by recruits. But it is al
ways safe to reckon a Russian regi-
ment on the war basis at not less than
5000 or $500 men.
There are regiments, however, very
different from the regular infantry or
ganization. The so-called rifle regi-
ments have but two battalions. On
the peace footing they consist of 33
officers and 1909 men, with Ii horses.
On the war footing there are 35 off,
GERS and 1898 men.

| 1t will be seen that in 1880, while
10 per cent of those employed were en-
gagged in agriculture, only 81 per cent
were engaged in trade and transpor-
tation, manufacturing and mechanical
pursuits, but that in 1900 less than SO
per cent were engaged in agriculture,
while almost Al per cent were engaged
| in manufacturing and commerce.
This does not, of course, indicate the
extinction of agriculture. 1t merely
indicates change In it's relative i'm
portance. The number of persons ac-
tually engaged in agriculture increased
between 1880 and 1900 from 7,714.000
to 10,382,OO0 and the number is likely
to increase for many years, especially
If our vast irrigable domain is thrown
open to settlement and is settled by
bona fine homeseekers With the
growth in the commercial and indus
trial population there is bound to be a
growth in the number of those en-
gagged In the business of growing their
food supply. In country such as this,
with its broad areas of fertile land
available for industry, and with its
vast resources of the raw material of
industry and of manufacturing power.
agriculture is bound to demand the
services of more and more men. To
make this clear it is sufficient to say
that in 1880 there were engaged in
commerce and the mechanical indus
tries 2,250,000 persons, who were fed
by the labors of 7,714,O0O agricultur-
lists, while in 1900 there were engaged
in commerce and the mechanical in
dustries 1852, 900 persons, who were
fed by the labors of 1O,382, 900 persons.
While it Is still true that agriculture
Is, and for many years is likely to re-
main, the foundation industry on
which rests the prosperity of the
whole country, such change in the
distribution of occupations as that
which has occurred since 1880 is of
great social and political as well as
OF economic significance. 1t is reflect
ed In the growth of cities, in the rise
OF problems of municipal government

capital 1t has had and is likely tn
have political effects of far-reaching

METHOD or TESTING EGGS.

New and Simple Recipe Given by Ger
man Papers.
A new and simple method Of testing
eggs is published in German papers
1t is based upon the fact that the air
chamber in the fiat end of the egg in.
creases with age. If the egg is placed
in a saturated solution of common salt
1t will show an increasing inclination
to float with the long axis vertical A
scale Is attached to the vessel contain
ing the salt solution, so that the incli-
nation of the floating egg toward the
horizontal can be measured. In this
way the age of the egg can be deter
mined almost to a day. A fresh egg
lies in horizontal position at the bot
tom of the vessel; an egg from three
to five days old shows an elevation at
the fiat end, SO that its long axis forms
an angle of 20 degrees. With an egg
eight days old an angle increases to
AS degrees; with an egg IA days old
to so degrees, and with one three
weeks old to rs degrees, while an egg
a month old floats vertically upon the
pointed end.
