A WONDERFUL INVENTION

1t is interesting to note that fortunes
are frequently made by the invention ol
articles of minor importance. Many oi
the most popular devices are those de-
signed to benefit the people and meet
popular conditions. and one OF the most
interesting OF these that has ever been
invented is the DR.. White Electric Comb
patented Jan. l, so. These wonderful
Combs positively cure dandruff, hair
falling out, sick and nervous headaches
and when used with DR.. Whites Elec-
trio Hair Brush are positively guaran-
teed to make straight hair curly in 25
days time. Thousands Of these electric
combs have been sold in various cities ol
the Union, and the demand is conse-
quently increasing. Our agents are rap
idly becoming rich selling these combs
They positively sell on sight. Send for

SMOKING A CIGAR.



He mn Tmpossibfltty.
'T have customer who thinks he
smokes twe.aty cigars a day." said a
downtown dealer. "As a matter OF
fact, he gives away many Of them and
throws away some that are only partly
consumed. However. he Is firm in the
belief that he smokes more actual to-
hacco than any man In New York, and
a boast on the subject I'm my store
yesterday led TO q curious bet.
He declared, to begin with, that he
could smoke three ordinary cigars in
half an hour. A bystander remarked
that no man alive could smoke even
one cigar continuously until 1t was
consumed without taking IL from his
lips 'Boshv said my man. i do that
right along and think nothing OF It.
"I'll bet you box OF perfectos you
can't do 1t right now said the other,
and In half a minute the wager was
made. BY Its terms the cigar was to
be consumed In steady consecutive
puffs and not removed from the lips
until burned to a mark one and half
inches from the tip. A clear Havana
Colorado Madura was selected for the
test, and the smoker took seat and
began.
He puffed like an engine for about
two minutes and accumulated some
thing under half an inch OF ash, and
then he began to wabble. He shifted
the cigar from side to aide, pulled
slow and fast and seemed to have
difficulty getting his breath between
the draws. AT any rate, he kept turn
ing his head to avoid the smoke and
finally got to laughing. / could see
he was In torture. but he stuck to IL
until he got within half an inch OF the
mark. Then he jumped up suddenly.
threw the cigar away and walked out
Of the shop.
II paid the bet and charged IL to his
account, and he told me last evening
that the very idea Of tobacco made him
sick. I doubt whether II would be
possible for anybody to smoke even
moderately strong cigar through In
the manner I have described."-New

George Chambers. an artist, was
once commissioned by King William
Nv. of England to paint picture of
the attack ON fortress on the Spanish
coast by frigate commanded by his
majesty, who was then the Duke of
Clarence. The attack took place Mt
night. Chambers completed q beauti-
full picture from some rough sketches
that were in the kings possession. and
when submitted for approval his maj

bers had taken an artists liberty with
the picture and for the purpose of re-
lieving the somber veil OF night-had
introduced some sea gulls skimmins the
waves. Hello, hello, Chambers," said
his majesty. This Will never do to
have the birds flying about at night.

EFFECTS OF CLIMATE.
Health and Energy Flourish Best In
th. Tempernte zones.

Grant Dexter in his book ON Wealth
er Influences says that Inhabitants
Of hot climates are usually listless, un-
inventive. apathetic and improvident.
An equable high temperature, especial
ly IL moist, weakens body and mind.
No long established lowland tropical
people is a conquerlng race in the
broadest sense of the word. For the
inhabitants of the higher attitudes,
even under the tropical sun, this may
be true, for as we ascend the tempera-
ture lessons about / degree every 2I0
feet on an average, and even at the
equator we may have a temperate
climate. The most favorable tempera-
ture for health, which carries with II
an aggressive energy which leads and
which has led the world march OF civ
ilization, is about 45 degrees on an
average. and this is found In the tenn
perate races. From there have come
the Drawn and brain of martial con-
quest and intellectual attainment The
dominant peoples are shown between
the latitudes Of Is degrees and IS de-
grees.
During the London fogs and on days
when the weather is particularly de-
pressing in the Bank of England GER
tain sets of books, an error In which
would be cumulative and produce dis
astrous results furt her on, are locked
up and the clerks set to tasks less In
tricate and important In character.
Experience has taught those In charge
that the percentage of error increases
many fold during such climatic condi-
tions and that 1t Is money In pocket
to yield to them. The same necessity
for cessation of certain lines Of work
during bad spells Of weather IL recog-
nized by the larger banking institu-
tions In New York and the other east
ern cities.
1T has been the universal experience
OF the superintendent OF prisons and
asylums for the insane that the per-
sons In their charge varied SO marked
ly with the meteorological conditions
that no man could doubt that the rela-
ton between the weather and emotion
al states was any other than that Of
cause and effect. When asked, how
ever, what definite conditions of the
weather tended to be the most pro-
ductive of emotional abnormalities no
satisfactory answer could be made"
