cast. 1t is one of the London Drury

original production. Pretty girls, clever
comedians, beautiful costumes, fine
dancing and gorgeous scenery are said
to be among its many attractions, and
the piece will doubtless draw large
houses. The engagement will begin to-
morrow evening.
The best of Willie Collier and the best
of Richard Harding Days that one
knows so far are to be had at the Co
b,mbia this week in The Dictator"
The farce is one of the funniest and
best acted ever seen here, and those
wearying for a laugh cannot miss It.

midst of a South American revolution

One does not forget. however, the
exceeding pleasure the first produc-

The music again is most charming
and immediate in its appeal. 1t is far
more melodious than most, perhaps
any, of the modern Italian operas. and
very happily illumines the emotional
scheme. Prettiness itself Is the set

Numbering the Hairs.

The number of individual hairs
that cover the human scalp is greatly
matter of speculation; but it Is sup
posed to vary according to the thick
ness and color of the hair. A well.
known authority estimates that red
haired people possess the fewest, and
places the average number at thirty
thousand. Black haired persons, or
the other hand, are said to run into
one hundred thousand; while the fair
haired have the largest number of all
namely, one hundred and tifty-thou-
sand. These figures should form a
valuable index to those people whose
hair is on the down grade. An ex-
cessive falling off could be reckoned
at from 100 upwards, and by counting
the number of hairs they lose each
day some idea might be formed as to
how long they are likely to be before
they are overtaken with total bald
ness. Hairs which fall out, however,
are not always a total loss" They
often grow again from the root

Noiseless Warfare.

"a Russian scientist claims the discov-
cry of a noiseless powder)
They drew their noiseless cannon up
To face the noseless fray,
The generals noiseless order rang
Along that vast array.
A puff of smokeless smoke arose,
A cloud concealed the sun;
Then flashed a wireless telegram
The battle was begun!
There came a noiseless earthquake shock
That shook the hills In twain;
A deafening hell of noiseless sound
Went roaring DER the plain
AS troopers raised their noiseless shout
And dashed into the fight
With polysyllabc noiseless oaths
In purest MuscoVite.
In silence turned the Russian flank
And stood in noiseless fear,
They threw their noliseless rifles down
And bolted for the rear.
Then in thankless, hopeless mood
They grabbed their hats and beat
A noiseless, smokeless, wireless,
And breahless quick retreat.
