A WOMAN TO BE PRETTY
Must Have Luxuriant and Glossy Hair,
Matter What Color

The finest contour OF female face. the
sweetest smile Of a female mouth lose some-
thing II the head is crowned with scant hair.
Scant and falling hair, It Is now known, is
caused by a parasite that burrows into the
scalp to the root OF the hair, where It saps
the vitality. The little white scales the germ
throws up in bunowing are called dandruff
To cure dandrun permanently then and to
stop falling hair, that germ must be killed.
Newbros Herpicide, an entirely new result OF
the chemical laboratory, destroys the dandruff
and, Of course, stops the falling hair and pre-
vents badness. Sold by leading druggists.

Armed For Emergencies.

When Fridtjof Nansen was q young stu.
dent, he attended O ball and danced with
many partners. Returning long after mid
night through the streets to his lodgings,
he heard loud outcries from q woman who
was struggling with two ruf1ans. In an
other moment the woman broke away
from them and ran toward the spot where
Nansen was standing. The two men were
close behind her in hot pursuit.
Nansen was an athlete full Of courage
and yigor and put himself IN guard as the
men approached. He allowed the woman
to pass, but called upon the Infatuated
pursuers to halt, standing directly in their
wa and hitting out first at one and then
at the other. The ruffans, angered by his
unexpected attack, turned resentfully up
on the rescuer and would have overpow'
cred him and possibly have murdered him
If be had not shown presence OF mind.
Drawing himself up to his full height and
throwing back his coat collar so as to e
pose the cotillon favors which he had
worn during the ball, he sternly asked
them if they knew who he was.
The two assailants. awed by his manner
and supposing him to be a royal officer,
were at once cowed. They apologized
roughly for not recognizing him, dropped
their arms and sneaked off in the opposite
direction from that which the woman bad
taken.
This incident Of Nansen's youth illus
trated at once the fearless courage and the
readiness of resource which were to char
a~oterize his career as an intrepid explorer.

there is a man with sufficient good nature
and courage to refuse another mans hand

on the hand leaves a door open for the ad-

rWo "snookv" STORIES.
a Crash That Broke Nothing and d
Vanished Dinner.

d Crash That Broke ana q
Vanished inner
When S~piritualism was comparatively
new and we were youngsters, we used to
hear delightful spooky stories about mys
ferrous actions of furniture and things
which one never seems to hear nowadays.
I remember one about some people who
had guests invited to q grand dinner. The
table was spread with all the dishes, but
the meal had not yet been served. The
family had O great store Of beautiful glass
and china, and it was all on tho table.
For a moment the servants were all out OF
the dining room, and just at that moment
all the people in the rest Of the house
heard a dcafening crash Of falling dishes.
From the dining room there came the
sound of glassware prccipitated upon the
floor and crushing into fragments, and in
the midst Of the roar Of this wreck there
rose to the terrified ears Of the host and
hostess the high, clear note of the smash
ing of much thin china.
Everybody in the house-family, guests,
servants-rushed to the dining room door
at the same moment, expecting to see
nothing less than the table o~yerthrown
and every precious dish on it broken. And
what did they behold? The table set in
perfect order, with not a thing on 1t dis.
turbed. What had made the awful crashi
Nobody ever knew. Not q dish was eve
nicked in that house that day. The spirits,
SO the story ran to US, had just made a
terrible ghostly crash for the fun Of 1t and
tho alarm of the household.
I remember that this story impressed
me q great deal more than it would have
impressed me if the dishes had really been
found smashed, though it could have been
proved that no human being had been In
the room at the time. I had never before
heard Of q ghost that was a crash and
nothing more. I fancy the establishment
of those alleged people was not greater
than that Of a friend of mine over an cpl.

wife and daughter were out shopping one
afternoon, and he reached homo ahead OF

outraged at not finding them there to
make him welcome, he set to work pleas.
antly to give them q surprise by getting
them their supper. He hadn't much in
the house, but he set out what he had and
placed on each of three plates a nice lot Of
sardines and then went out to make them
tea. He got it made and came back and
looked at his table in establishment. Hi
supper was gonel The plates were there
just where he had placed them, but they
were as clean as when he put them on.
He knew that there was not another hui

This is a true story. There was not an
other human being in the house, but the
gentleman owned two delightful cooker

can doubt that, as they licked the plates
which had contained the sardines, they
had said to themselves: $50 to. We will

How to Tell Age of Horses.

The popular idea that the age OF a
horse can always be told by looking at
his teeth, says a veterinary surgeon, is
not entirely correct. After the eighth
year the horse has no more new teeth,
80 that the tooth method is useless for
telling the age Of q horse which Is more
than 8 years old. AS soon as the set OF
teeth is complete, however, a wrinkle
begins to appear on the upper edge OF
the lower eyelid, and a new wrinkle Is
added each year, * that to get at the
age Of a horse over 8 years old you
must figure the teeth plus the wrinkles.
