Concerning Red Hair.

Red-headed people are less subject to bald
ness than others. A doctor explains the matter
thus: The hair of the red-headed is relatively
thick one red hair being almost as thick as five
fair or three brown hairs. With $4,000 red hairs
the scalp is well matched. whereas with the
same number OF fair hairs Is comparatively
bald. II takes nearly 10000 fair and 1O5. 900

Church of EngIand's Work.

BY means Of one society or another. the Church
of England seeks to penetrate into every possible
corner of the world and make itself felt in every
phase of life. In no instance is this more strik-
ing than in the Racing Stables Mission" which
has just held its annual meeting and revealed
its little-known methods of getting hold of the
thousands of lads and young men engaged in
hard and honest work in connection with racing
stables. The mission-whose offices are rs Pater-
noster square-does not confne itself to any one
spot, nor even to Engishmen in their own coun-
try. 1t is as busy at Chantilly as it Is at New
marlIet.-London Mail.

To prove that man could escape from
a torpedo boat, if necessary, by being fired
from a torpedo tube, the experiment was
literally tried on dog at Newport News
recently. An account of the affair was
printed in a Boston paper. but a rival
sheet printed prompt denial of the story,
sent by the naval officers. The Army and
Navy Journal however, vouches for the
truth of the story in spite of the vehement
denials of the officers. The dog fired from
the tube was uninjured.

The mayor Of Newport has been criticising
the residents Of that city of the millionaires
for lodging their taxes. 1t appears that not

from merchants that the millionaires do not

The most noticeable phase of the war
cloud which hovers over the far East is
Japan's eagerness to fight and Russia's
eagerness to avoid fighting. The latter
country, no doubt, anticipates a conflict
some time. but is anxious to put it off
as long as possible. Russia realizes that
she has everything to gain by waiting
Every year she gets a firmer hold in Tur-
kestan and Manchuria. and every year pours
a larger number of her rapidly-increas-
Ing population into these countries. Japan
has nothing to offset these advantages, and
realizes that if Russias advance is to be
stopped it must be done at once.

Terre Haute, by the way, is alive with
political gossip at present, and not the least
interesting of the reports is one to the effect
that Senator Barcus is about to dispose of
his newspaper, the Terre Haute Tribune,
and withdraw from active participation in
politics for the preEent, after he has served
out his term in the State Senate. The SEN
ator purchased the Tribune soon after he
determined 10 take a whirl in Fifth district
politics. 1t was at that time a Republican
paper, and he used it to his advantage in
the political game. Recently the policy Of
the paper was changed and it is now indie
pendent in politics.
Republicans of Terre Haute are chiefly
interested just now in discussing candidates
and prospective candidates for the Repub-
lican mayoralty nomination. A dozen men
have been mentioned as possibilities, among
others being Frank T. Benjamin, Frank
Bidamen, Will Dorsey, DR.. Baker, Charles
Neff and William TicEenor. Benjamin is an
avowed candidate, and IL is inferred that he
will have the support of what is known as
the '.Filbeck crowd" Mr.. Filbeck having
been quoted to the effect that BENJAMIN
would make the best candidate of the men
mentioned up to this time. AS usual there
are signs OF fractional differences Terre
