"THE OLD SCRATCH"
How the Evil One Came to be Popu
larly Known as "The Old Scratch"

How the Evil One Came to BIO Popu-
larly Known as "The Old Scratch"
One of the many familiar names Of
his satanic majesty is "The Old
Scratch" 1t is undoubtedly due to
the fact that scratching is so disa-
greeable that people thought it no
worse than the evil one. A scalp full
of dandruff keeps one scratching all
the time; not only disagreeable but
considered very inelegant in polite So
ciety-as it should be-because one
ought to keep the scalp so clean that
it would not itch. To cure the scalp
of dandruff effectively, use Newbro's
Herpicide. 1t kills the germ that Gre
ates the dandruff, which is preliminary
to falling hair, and, finally, badness.
No other hair preparations kills the
dandruff germ. Herpicide also is
very delightful and effective hair
dressing. Sold by leading druggists.
Send 1Oc in stamps for sample to The
Henpicide Co., Detroit, Mich. At lead
ing drug stores or by prepaid express
from the Herpicide Co., Detroit, Mich,
upon receipt of 81.

The Fattest Woman.

Mrs. Annie Refine, Of San Diego,
Cal, is said to be the latest woman
in the world. Mr.. Burnett, who is
aboard the United flagship, Chicago, in
writing home to some friends, teId
them of his visit to Mrs. Redline.
She is 81 years old and weighs 577
pounds. Her height is 4 feet inches
and around her chest she measures
z feet inch. Around the largest part
of her arm Mrs. Redline measures one
inch more than two feet.
When she was born in Pittsburg,
Pa, she weighed 6k pounds. In the
first two years of her life she gained
creasing in weight ever since. Altho
SO f1eshy it does not seem to have any
bad effect on Mrs. Redline save that it
gives her trouble in getting about. She
has never been sick, and does not sllf-
fer from any heart trouble, as many
fat people do. Again, unlike most
fleshy persons, Mrs. Redline can stand
hot weather, and prefers it to cold
There are no cabs large enough to
accommodate Mrs. Redline, and when
she wants to travel she has to BIT an
open wagon. When she does go out, it
takes three men to help her into a
wagon and the same number are re-
quired to get her out She cannot walk
more than ten feet unassisted, because
her ankles are too weak to carry her
wei:
In order to be sure that she will al
ways have substantial chair to sup
port her quarter of ton of weight,
Mrs. Redline always takes a specially
made one with her. Then she is guard
ed from collapse. Before she was so
fleshy that getting around was a trou-
BILE, Mrs. Redline was a music teacher
She has four daughters. Her husband
is a sleight- of-hand performer. Many
physicians and scientists from all over
the world have examined Mrs. Redline
in the hope of ascertaining reason
for her extraordinary weight, but so
far no adequate explanation Of it has
been given. Mrs. Redline says she
just grew that way, like Topsy, and
that that is all there is to it.

TREASURES IN CHURCHES.
Works of Art Contained in French
Sanctuaries Are of I'm
mense Value.

According to a report just issued by
the French minister of fine arts, the
churches of France. and not the Louvre,
the Luxembourg. the Musee de Cluny and
Carnavalet. contain the art treasures
of the nation. The art treasures in the
public galleries and museums are but a
comparatively small part of the artistic
wealth of France. 1t is estimated that
if brought under the hammer the pic
lures. tapestries. statues, carvings and
other works or art would realize the fab
ulous sum of six milliards of francs.
The little Roman church of Conques,
lost in the mountains of Aveyron, is pos
sessed of a treasure which was on view
at the exhibition of 1900 1t was of such
marvellous beauty that a syndicate of art
dealers offered for it the sum of 80 ,000-
900 francs. 1t contains the finest enam-
els in the world, reliquares given by the
early kings of France and Roman statues
in gold and silver. Fortunately for
France the art syndicate did not buy it.

BOY HAD NARROW ESCAPE.
Plump Little Darky Boy in Boat
Was the object of Big Sharks
Attack.

The yellow fever was raging in the
city of Vera Cruz that year and one Of
the large West Indian liners which ar
rived on a certain day was obliged to an
Choir off in the harbor. relates st. Mich
olas. A small boat, known as a dingy,
fioated astern. and in this an active
young colored boy of about Is was busily
ut work washing off the seats. The boat
lurched over with sudden dip as the
boy bore his weight on one of the
thwarts, and Pedro heard a warning
shout from the steamers deck just in
time to give one terrified glance around
and to hear noise he knew only too
well.
Without an instant's hesitation he
jumped overheard from the opposite side
of the boat. For as he looked he caught
sight of the jaws of great shark which,
spying this tempting morsel of plump
little darby boy. had leaped toward the
careened boat with open mouth So Wig
orous was the sharks leap that as Pedro
went over one side of the boat the shark
Topped in at the other. Not being used
to these surroundings and missing his
prey, he foundered around until his head
bore down the gunwale and he slid from
the careening boat into the sea again
before the people on the steamer could
fling harpoon at him. Almost as he
disappeared poor Pedro's head popped
up on the opposite side of the boat. and
in a terrible fright he clambered into the
dfngy again, as thoroughly scared a
young darby as ever had a narrow es-
cape
Had he not thus saved himself from
the maneater, help from the steamer
would have been necessary, and even
then it is more than probable that the
boy would not have been saved This is
a remarkable instance of the ferocity
of a shark seeking his prey out of the
water

SCOTT s BOVINE, 4'P s rs"s Ga Sire"'

accordingly, the writer of this bulletin,
with a view to determining how the
supply of teachers compares with the
demand, has computed the ratio of the
number of teachers to the total number
of persons from t. "a years of age.
Thus he finds that in continental United
States in 1900 there were 140 teachers
for every 10000 persons of the age
specified, which represents an average
of l teacher for II potential pupils.
According to this method of comparison
the supply of teachers is increasing and
has more than doubled within the last
thirty years, since in 1870 there were
only 70 teachers to every 10000 persons
of teachable age, or l teacher for 1877
potential pupils.
In 1900 Nevada had the largest pro-
portional number of teachers reported
in any state or territory; Vermont was
the second state in this respect, Maine
the third, and Iowa the fourth. The
proportion of teachers was smallest in
some of the Southern states. During
the past decade the proportion has in
creased in every state and territory, the
increase reaching a maximum in the
state of Washington. The states of the
North and West showed greater in
crease than those of the South.
