The Coast papers of June 2 say that
and gained Wyoming. The Argonaue'
which has treated the Hearst canvass
I'm kindly and unprejudiced way states
that Hearst's last chance has gone. 1t
one-third of the delegates Apparently,
says the Argonaut, Hearst, by cancel
ling his order for three floors at the
Planters Hotel, st. Louis. where he ex-
pected to house his friends during con-
vention week, has recognized the newt
able. There also appears to be some
thing the matter with the Hearst for
tune. Funds to prosecute the campaign
have not only been withdrawn but Mrs
Hearst, ST., has taken away her finan-
cial support from a Washington kim
dergarten and from the Berkeley or
ganizations known as the Hearst
Domestic Industries, the Piedmont and
Enewah Clubs, the Young Women's
Christian Association and the West
Berkeley Settlement. On the other
hand Arthur Brisbane, who writes Mr..
Hearst's editorials and speeches, says
it is his purpose to establish, all over
the United States, fifty newspapers and
make himself great power. The Ar
gonaut believes that if Hearst supports |
the ticket this year, as he promises to
do, he will be Presidential quantity
later on.

The correspondent who described the
unprecedented military spectacle,
forgot several things including the bat
tie of Gettysburg and Pickett's charge.
In their operations the Japanese lost
in killed and wounded about 1000 and
the known Russian loss was less than
1000. But Gettysburg showed total
of dead, wounded and missing of 49,,
GEO. That was a battle. The collisions
SO far had on the Liaotong peninsula
are, by comparison. skirmishes.

track program is good one and it will
be worked out before a large crowd of

A Preparation That Will Destroy the
Dandruff Germ Discovered.
Finally the scientific student has dis
covered certain remedy for dandruff.
When it first became known that dan
druff is the result of a germ or para
site that digs into the scalp and saps
the vitality of hair at the root, causing
falling hair and badness, biologists set
to work to discover some preparation
that will kill the germ. After a years
labor in one laboratory, the dandruff
germ destroyer was discovered; and it
is now embodied in Newbro's Herpicide.

A Soctchman is proverbially noted for his ability to "hedge," but 1t is not often that he furnishes so remark able an example of that propensity as in the following conversation: "Guid mornin', Donald" "Guid mornin', Sandy" "Hoo air ye the morn, Donald" "Aw, Pm nae sac we'll" "That's bad"

Josh Billings' Philosophy.

The most pleazant prospekt from the top ov hi mountain iz to look bak and see the ragged way we hay cum.
 When impudence deserts a man it leaves him nothing on earth to fall bak upon.
 A snaik's belly and lying lounge are the 2 slipperyest things we kno ov.
 I hay tried all the most approved plans, and find that the cheapest way to manage a woman iz to let her hay her own way.
 Thare k one trait ov the human karakter that the devil himself must be proud ov, and that iz, the more we hay injured man the more we hate him.
 Most ov the miserable would be con- paratively happy if they would only kompare their condishun with thoze beneath insted ov thoze abuv them.
 A traitor haz no friends-every boddy hates treazon.
 It iz very eazy to gain notoriety in this world; all yu hay to do iz to head mob or steal horse, and the job iz done.
 If yu don't make yure yung ones mind yu when they are young, they will make yu mind them when yu are old.
 Too much ov ennything iz wuss than too little.

odd Ways of Making Money.

The breeding of alligators for sale to zoos and collectors the world over is the elect and profitable pursuit of a woman in Florida, by which she con- fesses to making $10,0OO year.
 Spiders are the marvellous merchan- disc of another odd trader, who sells may millions of them annually for webmaking in wine cellars. There are morbid collectors of grewsome relics, who pay amazing sums for the tatter- ed garments of murderer, and con- slider that their future good fortune is definitely assured thereby. Even sea air is now among the less common ar- ticles sold to patrons at a distance from the coast.
 Another unique business is that in which persons retain early stands out side popular theaters and sell their ad- vantage to the highest bidder. There are folk who make a lucrative living at this vocation.
 Another shrewd speculator sells novel ideas for improving business to tradesmen whose luck is at low ebb, and he has proved that there is cash in the curious enterprise.
 Odd buttons form the basis of an- other strange but lucrative business, the proprietor of which has odd but tons of almost every kind ever made, and sells them at good profit.
 The hair of certain distinguished personages has recognized market value among ardent collectors of such mementos, and as much as $50 has been paid before to-day for a partic- ularly precious lock.
 Speculative freaks of nature and ambitious hospital surgeons often drive hard bargains, whereby the former years before their decease agree to sell their bodies for dissection, as much g as $25O being sometimes paid for an "interesting case" Hour Glass.

Alien MOrtaly.

Think for moment of the narrow limits of our knowledge! Sixteen hun. dred millions of featherless bipeds, more or less, are picking up living
 eating and drinking, marrying and giv. ing in marriage, on this pretty planet of ours; of what infnitesimal propor
 tion can you really unveil the secrets and gauge the virtues and the happi. ness How many people do yon know intimately enough to say whether their lot is, on the whole, cnviable or the reverse? Every human being is for. eign kingdom to every other. We make a short excursion into their minds; we touch at port here and there; and we say glibly that we know them intimate. ly. We know not how many dark cor. ners are carefully hidden away from all strangers, and what vast provinces have never been reached in our most daring travels. How, then, can we judge one another? Such utter ignor. ance of our neighbours thoughts and motives should make us wondrous charitable. @

eTORY OF THE COLLAR
Troys Great Industry Started by .
 Blacks mith's Wife 76 Years Ago.

Troy's Great Industry Started by .
 Blacks mith's Wife 76 Years Ago.
 It was the wife of a blacksmith in Troy, N. r., who made the first de. tachable collar. Many of the worlds greatest inventions, including the safety valve, are the productions of people who were either bit lazy or had grown tired of the more laborious ways in vogue in bygone days. The wife of the Troy blacksmith had grown tired of washing and ironing her husbands shorts with collars at- tached and she "set up thinkin'," out of which evolved paper pattern and finally the linen for collar which could be detached from the shirt That was 70 years ago and the product was the first separate collar ever made. The idea of the blacksmith's wife was great reform in mems wear and women's labor in the little town or Troy. Ebenezer Brown, a former Methodist preacher, started dry goods store and later a collar factory. As his business grew it became nee. essary to recruit employees among the girls and women of the town whom he paid in merchandise from his own store.
 At the time the collars were tied around the neck of the wearer with tape strings and were known as "string collars" These heavy two-ply collars, starched as stiff as a board. were supported by haircloths buckled at the back of the neck. Linen cuffs and shirts were made at home until 1S45, when the first shirt and collar factory was started in Troy. The in- dustry has received impetus from time to time through various labor saving inventions until to-day $9,000,O00 is in. vested in 1t in Troy.
 The use of machines has supplanted hand labor in nearly every department of the industry and these machines will be seen in operation, turning out collars and cuffs ready to wear n the Manufacturers Palace at the coming fair in St. Louis, where the collar and cuff display will be one of the princi- pal exhibits.

CAUSE OF WEIGHT sHRINkAoE.
Parcels Vary According to Atmos.
 pheric Conditions.

There Is another cause that contrib utes to the diminution in the weight of packages besides dishonest trades. men, namely, the atmosphere. MT. Street, chief inspector of weights and measures for the corporation of London, at meeting of the Incorpo- rated Society of Inspectors of Weights and Measures, said that he had made experiments with view to seeing to what extent the atmosphere affected the weight of packet goods.
 He took bar of soap, weighing two pounds 111a ounces. Four days later 1t had shrunk to 2 pounds ounces 14 drams, and after another four days it weighed Q drams less. In three weeks the soap had decreased from ? pounds 111a ounces to ? pounds ounces. "With tea the reverse is the case" said Mir. Street. "Tea is sent over dramatically sealed, and is extremely dry. Tho consequence is that when it is taken out to be weigh. ed up it absorbs moisture, and, there fore, increases in weight.
 'The gross weight of a packet of tea was 1 pound 1 ounce 12 drams. Three days afterward it weighed 40 grains more, and three days later the increase had risen to 1S6sgrains. But. ter, however, loses weight. Probably in week or so q pound of butter would weigh half an ounce less.
 Coke is another article that in creases in weight, and lends itself to dishonesty.
 ''To take an extreme case" said the inspector, q weighed 34 pounds of coke, which placed in water When taken out and drained the weight of this coke had increased by pounds 10 ounces"
 Tobacco loses its moisture, and, therefore diminishes in weight. It will be seen that if a package of grocery is short, 1t does not follow that the tradesman is to blame, but that the State of the air has something to do with its decrease.-London Morning Leader.

A Priest Ridden Country.

The 6,00O,OOO of Thibetans are ex- pected to support 483,242 priests of the new school of Buddhists. Among these are thousand reincarnated lamas, who receive special education and are treated with great reverence. The government employs 165 official priests by royal appointment and the same number of lay officials. The depart ments of the royal household, religious affairs, war and treasury, all have their own ministers.
 A class of priests, ecclesiastical roughs, constituting one-third of the clerical population, are noted for their fighting tendencies. Their occupation consists in training themselves in ath- letics-stone throwing, high jumping, tests of bodily strength, wrestling and singing wild songs. Their daily re- ligious duties are reading the Scrip lures, but they have no scholarly at- tainments.
 The population of Lassa (11,5OO feet altitude) is between 10000 and 100000 The Brebun Temple contains 7,7OO priests and students. the great Temple of Sera, $500, and the great Golden Temple $500. Thibetans are unusual ly filthy in their habits, and for this reason they consider the Chinese ex- tremely clean. Many of the men have only one wife apiece, but the practice of pO1vo udrv Ia vorv common opo woman having as many as a dozen husbands in such cases. There is no trouble about the children, for each recognizes the numerous fathers as first, second and third father, and 30 on through the list.

A TsAcHEa's SAD ROMANCE.
Led Double Life Because of Rule
 Against MatrimOny.

AGa1n6C M0tr1mOuys
 In New York City, as in Utica and some other towns, there is rule which provides that the schoolmistress who takes hymeneal vows is barred from further service. Recent developments indicate that the New York pedagogues have been marrying secretly and one particularly sad romance comes to light through the death of the husband of the offending instructor.
 The teacher was arraigned before the Board of Education of New York on the charge of having married in di' rect violation of the rules. The teacher told her story, and 1t was a sad recital of details of how she and her husband loved one another, but needed their joint salaries for the support of them- selves and others dependent upon them, so they had postponed their mar riage from time to time. At last they decided to wed secretly, even if they had to live apart.
 They married and began leading double lives. vexatious separations marred their happiness most of the time, and then, few months ago, the husband died, begging the wife to bear bis name, the name that was hers by law. She asked of the board that she might do this and remain teacher, since her husband was no longer alive, and she had no intention of marrying again. And the board, according to the report, "magnanimously" granted the plea.

HEAD MAKES THE MAN.
Abilities and Character Are Clearly
 Written in the Skull.

Written in the Skull.
 The next time you look at the back of a mans head, just notice 1t care- fully-looking not for bumps, but for shape. Contrast two heads, if you can, and you will be surprised at the dif- ference between them-a difference just as great probably, as that be- tween their faces.
 Heads that are very high in the crown indicate great firmness of char acter and strong desire to command.
 But if with this the head is dis tinctly small, its possessor will be of q decidedly conceited nature; whereas, if the brim is of good size, you may set him down as being a man who will succeed.
 If the back of the head is well de- veloped 1t indicates q fondness for society, man of very friendly dis position, and one who is very fond of his own country.
 Fullness of the head between the ears, just above their lobes, indicates love of the opposite sex.
 If very much developed, great love is indicated, and also the possession of an attractive personality which read fly wins the affection of other per sons.
 On the other hand, if there is a distinct shrinkage of the skull at this point the man is of a not very taking disposition, and is incapable of any depth of affection.
 Fullness of the head above the ears on each side denotes secretiveness and caution. The possessor of such head Is good diplomatist. A head well developed immediately above the neck indicates great energy.
 When you see man with very large and very distinctive develop ment of the top of the head, just below the crown, you may set him down at once as having great belief in his own powers. He never says Can't" but always, q can do so-and-so."
 A mans abilities and character are very clearly written in the formation of his skull.
 By studying the development of his child's head parent may be greatly guided in the often difficult task of deciding to what particular trade or profession his son is best suited.
 Again an expert reading of child's head would give its parents most beneficial insight into its character. They would have ample warning of any bad disposition which might make its appearance in later life. and this they could, by judicious training, effectually check.
 Or they could be informed of the lack of certain necessary qualities the gifts of application and industry, perhaps. These could be cultivated in the youthful mind without any great difficulty.-New York Daily News.

Name Presented to Convention
BY Gov. Black of New York.

Mr.. President and Gentlemen Of the
COnVention-We are here to inaugurate
campaign which seems already to be
nearly closed. So wisely have the
people sowed and watched and tended.
there seems little now to do but
to measure up the grain They are
ranging themselves not for battle, but
for harvest In one column reaching
from the Maine woods to the Puget
Sound are those people and those states
which have stood so long together, that
when great emergencies arise the ma
ton turns instinotively to them In
this column, vast and solid, Is a major
lily so overwhelming that the scattered
squads in opposition can hardly raise
another army, The enemy has neither
guns nor ammunition, and II they had
they would use them ON each other
Destitute Of the weapons OF effective
warfare, the only evidence OF approach
ing battle is IN the tone and number Of
their bulletins There Is discord among
the generals; discord among the sol
diers. Each would fight In his own way
but before assaulting his Republican
adversaries he would first destroy his
own comrades in the adjoining tents.
Each believes the weapons chosen by
the other are not only wicked but fatal
to the holder, That is true This is
the only war Of modern times whore the
boomerang has been substituted for the
gun, Whatever fatalities may occur,
however among the dscordant hosts
now moving on ST. Louis, no harm will
come this fan to the American people.
There Will be no opposition sufficient 10
raise a conflict. There win be hardly
enough for competition There are no
Democratic plans for the conduct OF the
