DISCRIMINATING Ladies.
Enjoy Using Herpicidc ON Account Of
Its DIsfInc tIYeness.

The ladies who have used Newbro's
Herpicide speak of 1t in the highest
terms. for its quick effect in cleansing
the scalp of dandruff and also for its ex-
cellence as a general hair-dressing. 1t
makes the scalp feel fresh and 1t allays
that itching which dandruff will cause.
Newbro's Herpicide effectively cures
as it destroys the germ that
causes 1t. The same germ causes hair to
fall out. and later badness; in killing 1t,
Herpicide stops falling hair and prevents
badness. 1t is also an ideal hair dress
ing. for it lends an aristocratic charm to
the hair that is quite distinctive. Sold
by leading druggists. Send Zoe. in stamps
for sample to The Herpicide Co., De-
troit. Mich.

A New BoWery

Walking up Eighth avenue from
Fourteenth street one does not know
these days whether he is on the old
Bowery or whether he is in Coney
Island. Here are all the cheap shows
Of Coney and all the bargains of the
old Bowery. The lights are shining
brightly, the clothing coaxer-an i'm
provement on the puller-in-is trying to
induce trade. A little farther on is the
frankfurter man, with his "eat 'em
alive" A block or so on and there is
the real novelty of the avenue, the
cheap hat man. He sells hats-men's
and women's-for 2. and cents. And
he does a good business. On nearly
every block along the avenue there is
chop suey restaurant. They all make
money. For the man who does not care
for the Chinese goulash there are the
cafes, and they are any kind you want,
from the model of BILLY" McGlorey
clear up to the Tom" O'Rourke design.

How to Escape Noises

New Yorkers are forever complaining
about the noises which affiict them, but
usually they do nothing to stop them.
The majority seem to believe that all
the racket in this town is inevitable
and they even exhibit a certain pride
in their ability to live in such a din,
especially when country cousins come
to town and exclaim: "Oh, what a
slambang town! How can you stand
it?" Should a man work nights and
want to sleep in the daytime the law
provides an escape from peddlers' yells
under certain conditions. If he will
make his home next to court room
or a hospital, for example, he can ask
the police to arrest any huckster who
calls out his wares nearby. The dis
tance which a bawling peddler mus,
keep from a hospital at any time of the
day or week or from court house
while it is in session, school while
the pupils are in the class room, or a
church during service, is 250 feet.

Death of a Prince

Plain John Merkowitsch, as he was
known there for nearly sixty years, a
furrier who died on Thursday, will
be buried tomorrow under his long
abandoned title of Prince John of Bel
grade. Merkowitsch was first cousin
of the present ruler of Servia, King
Peter l, his mother being Princess
Helena of the house of Karageorge-
witch and his father Count stephen
Nicholas. When 15 years of age the
boy John quarreled with his father
and came to this country, where he
learned the trade which he afterwards
followed. He wrote home that nobility
was no longer matter of concern
to him in a free country where all
men were sovereigns. Since then he
held no communication with his noble
relatives until his cousin assembled the
throne of Servia, when he sent con-
gratulations as kinsman. The old
mans coffin bears silver plate en-
blazoned with the royal arms of
Servia and the inscription: Prince
John of Belgrade, Servia."

He Doesn't Kiss the Brides

Mr.. Mcclellan is said to be the only
mayor of New York who refuses to
take advantage of his prerogative to
kiss the bride after a mayoral marriage
ceremony. The mayor Is only 40 and
his wife is-well, considerably younger.
That is about the only excuse offered.
Those who go to the mayor to be mar
ried represent many sides of life. For
example, among the men welded in
his office in the last year and quar-
ter were an artist, a clockmaker, an
insurance agent, a veterinarian, a
newspaper man, fencing master, a
salesman, a drummer, cigar dealer,
manufacturer, a restaurant keeper,
bookkeeper and a laundryman.

Checking a Bad Trade

There has been falling off in the
side door beer trade on Cherry Hill.
That is a result of the crusade under
taken by Father James B. Curry, rec
tor Of st. James parish, to put stop
to the practice of sending children to
saloons to buy beer. II shall fight this
unlawful sale of liquor to mere babies
to a finish, and I am good one to
hang on at things" Father Curry says.
For weeks past the kindly faced, hand
some priest has been making the rounds
of his parish with this end in view.
Often he is accompanied by a detective
in plain clothes to make arrests when
desirable. Father Curry has always
exercised more or less personal super
vision over the boys and girls of his
flock. Many youngster whom he
found staying out too late he has sent
to bed with a kindly word. And always
1t has been his effort "to save and help
the little girls"

A Shrewd Barber

The proprietor of a hotel barber shop
uptown has made one corner of the eS-
tablishment a museum of absorbing in
terest to his out-of-town patrons. He
has arranged there a group of shaving
mugs marked with names which daz-
zle the stranger in New York. Among
them are the two Rockefellers, several
Vanderbilts, one of the Harrimans,
Senator Depew, an Episcopal bishop
and half a dozen other names as well
known In New York life. The owners
of some of the names are to be found
every day not far from the hotel. Few
persons, however, can recall ever hav-
ing seen any of them in the barber
shop; yet this collection affords the
greatest satisfaction to those who think
they are seeing New York in an inti-
mate and confidential way possible to

The Pay of Artists

While New York is hiding hundreds
Of artists who make only a living or
less every year, 1t is also the setting for
other brilliant successes who are trans
muting canvases into coin at the rate
of $4,000 a year. Newspaper artists
average from $40 to $50 week, though
some of them find 500 or more in their
envelopes every seven days. One car
toonist enjoys an income of $4,000 a
year and two or three others pocket
from $4,000 to 100000 year. Archi-
tects vary as much as artists and ply
sicians in the matter of incomes. New
York has several architects whose an
nual incomes are fortunes in them
selves, reaching occasionally such
heavenly figures as $125,000. $150,OO0
and 100000. But they are as rare as
snowhakes in July. Considering the
average draughtsman and expert de-
signer in the large offices, together with
the revenues derived by country archi-
tects, the general average is about $500
a year. While the mining and civil
engineers go the architects about $500
year better. they are often idle from
the nature of their work.
