About Hair.

4 Hair is at all times an interesting subject, because we all had and have 1t or have it not. An excellent point is made by my old friend J. NJ. Porter of the New York Transfer company. Can you tell us,'' he asked. ''why con- s1lmptives almost invariably have full heads Of hair. and why we seldom hear of the bald-headed man or wo- man having died Of consumption F Another friend writes that B per cent of our women wear wigs That sounds incredible. yet do not dis pute the statement. v. One thing I am aware of, namely, that furniture man tfacturers never put marble top on a cheap table; hence your bald-head-s ed man or women is seldom an in ferior creature I do not recall among my acunaintailces Of the road a single bafaheaded tramp. Nor do 1 know a bald-headed monkey. Adam was created before the hat manufac- turers established themselves i'll busi-- ness. therefore for covering God cave him hair, Who cut his hair? Tn all the pictures Of Adam his hair is short and curly q had almost said kinky) He lived 930 years trfter cat ing the apple. yet was never bald. Why? Because he never wore a hat. Women are less bald than men of to- day because they seldom wear hats. Eve's tresses were glorious; sufti- cient almost to hide her nakedness. The question Of brain influence on the hair is unsettled, and may ever remain so. Some observers contend that men Of superior intellect begin to get bald on their foreheads. while those of less force first lose their haia. on the crown of the head. ."--New York Press

Temperance In Germany.

An interesting communication con. cerning the growth .of temperance sen timent in Germany, from United States Consul Diedrich at Bremen, to Mrs Mary H. Hunt of Boston, has Just been forwarded to the latter by the state department at Washing ton. The article in reviewing a complete bibliography of recent German litera- ture on the drink question, lately is. sued, says:
 ''Cons.uering the newness of the propaganda of the Fatherland the ont put is enormous. There Is total of S71 books printed n the German lam guage dealing with the temperance question, written by 413 different authors. and practically all published since 1880, the greater portion of them since 1890. Besides this, there arc now 37 newspapers. magazines and aIli1uals published in German, de- voted to the temperance question.
 The temperance reformation in Germany has had such q recent be- ginning and the surpassed German re pugnance to total abstinence is so well grounded it is really difficult to com prefend the full meaning of this vast array of literature in the German tongue. The evidence is clear that the people of Germany have taken up the alcohol question with an energy excelled by no other people on the face of the earth. Good Teinplar lodges are multiplying every year The Blue Cross has spread all over the empire.
 The imperial health office at Berin
 is sending out elaborate literature against the use of alcohol as bever- age. Count Douglas, the brother-in- law of the emperor. is one of the foremost temperance reformers in the country. and, day after day, the Journal of the Imperial Parliament has contained pages of his arguments against drink Leading lights in Ger man universities are also leaders, in the new reform Plans are also being matured for a German temperance ex- hibit at the coming St Louis exposi tfon.
 '"The kindly personal interest taken in the scientific temperance propagari- fla of Mrs Hunt by the German em- press shows how the anxiety about drink has reached the upper strata of German society What nation on earth can furnish a parallel of the late Bremen congress when 1,500 peo- pie sat for four days to discuss tne drink peril? What a deep unrest it must be that causes nearly a thousand books to be dumped into sinole lan- guage }n single topic within 9 svears And who can measure the effectg

MILITARY PROGRESS.
General Chaffee's Address on Being
 Prepared.

ALBANY, Feb. 1r.--Lieutenant Gen eral Adna R. Chaffee, chief of staff of the United States army, addressed a large gathering in the assembly cham Der on Military ProgressA Since 1661."
 He showed how the Spanish war and the resulting military necessities have aroused again the military enthusiasm which waned after the civil war, and he traced the various kinds of military development which have ensued in or ganization. tactics, armament and re- lation of army and militia.
 He dwelt upon the importance in time of peace of adequate preparation for the war which, since not impossi- ble, is therefore always possible
 The function of the organized militia he explained in it's relation to the state and to the army and to the nation.
 'The 130,000 organized, militia in the United States said General Chaffee, should be periodically supported by all men and women in the country, who should make it personal matter with their sons to the end that they learn how to use army rifles and se- cure, the honorable status Of having been soldier ill the service of the state. No man is a loser because of such information and experience.
 'The national guard of New York is to be congratulated upon the interest which the chief executive and the leg islature take in its affairs. I believe it decidedly to the front in this regard, and so far as I have been able to ob- serve the state authorities have no cause to regret the encouragement which they bestow. When called into the service of the United States it's or ganizations respond to the call of the president as unit. officers and men alike."'
 Speaking of the new field gun, Gen. eral Chaffee said:
 "The new field gun that has been adopted and will soon be issued is as- tonishing when compared with the field gun of 1861. 1t fires a shot weigh ing fifteen pounds with muzzle ve- locity of 1,7OO feet per second at the rate of twenty shots per minute, equal to an energy of 6,700 foot tons per minute as against about 125 foot tons for the old twelve pounder
 'sIt Is stated that a battery of six of our new field guns represents more ex- ecutfon than the 1SO Union guns at Gettysburg.
 Probably nothing short of actual experiences of war could be of greater benefit to both army and militia than maneuvers like those in the middle west last year. 1t is not improbable that by another year we may arrange for operations on a scale to employ .a ...

 Cussedness in general may be di- vided into two grand dfyisions--pure and plain. Pure cussedness applies itself to children, women and mules. Plain cussedness is more widespread. Plain cussedness is common to Kan sas, South Carolina and parts of Bos- ton. But it is likely to break out any where. It is chronic with some wives, and young girls develop it sometimes under pressure. It can be cured often times by steady treatment, gold dol- lars being most effective. For pure cussedness there is no known remedy. When approached by a person afflicted with pure c1ssedness, run away. It is the safest plan. Pure cussedness is not always hereditary. Some are born with 1t, some achieve it, and some have it thrust upon them. m.ANeodesha Kan, Register.

The introduction of aa bill into con gress providing $24,o00,0OO for na- tional aid to states in making and mending highways, is an indication of the country interest that is being shown in the subject, and the gover- nors of half dozen states, il their first of the year messages to legtsla- lures. have given the matter of inn proved roads special attention, says the editor of Golfers. When Dickens visited America he found the stage road from the Potomac to Fredericks. burg to be "a series of alternata swamps and gravel pits" He de- scrfbed the passage of Virginia, swamp in this way: "ws come to the spot. sink down in thesInfre nearly to the coach windows. tilt on one side at an angle of forty-five degrees and stick there. The insddes scream dis n1ally. the coach stops, the horses founder" Governor Montague, in his message to the Virginia legisla- ture, early in 1904. said Of the states roads: .Our indifferent highways are a hindraTlce to the growth of our ru- rad population and bar to irnnigra- tion." He recommended the state to begin the systematic construction and maintenance of public roads. And as virginiatis trying to level and put bottom to her highways, so other states are taking up the same work. Governor Bates calls attention to the fact that Massachusetts has already laid out 505 miles of solid road, at an average cost of $6,000 a milo. In New York ASA miles have been con structed since 1898, when the state agreed to share the cost, with the counties New Jersey has been for-
 tunate in stirring tho communities to proper appreciation of state aid. and her fine roads are numerous. Mary lands legislature is considering a plan to add counties to the extent Of S2oO,- 900 a year, to improve the highways, Tn South Carolina Governor Heywartl believes that the legislature is going far enough in authorizing the gun ties to bond themselves for tho cost Of road making.

In eiecting a democratic president and a democratic house of represent atives, the people need not be alarm ed lest tariff reduction and trust-bust- ing under democratic auspices will disturb business. The leaders of the party are not going to jump in and tear things to pieces. They are not going to blow up the tariff wall with dynamite, they are going to begin gently to lift the rocks off one by one until the wall is not so high that the people cannot See over 1t and see the tariff protected industries Of this country selling goods cheaper to for eigners than they do to home con- sumers.

It has been said that in captivity elephants always stand up when they sleep, but when in the jungle. in their own land and home, they lie down. The reason given for the difference between the elephant in captivity and in freedom is that the animal never acquires complets confidenee in1shis keepers. and always aongs for liberty.
