How to Brush the Hair,

There is a right and a wrong way OF
brushing the hair, as there is of doing
everything else. First, part down the
center above the forehead, and give it
20 brisk strokes on either side. Di-
vide it down the back, and repeat the
same process. Next brush it back
from the ears, giving it always the 20
strokes. Persevere with this treat
ment, and your hair will soon become
soft and glossy and repay the trouble
taken with it.

RAINS FISH AGAIN.

The Phenomenon at Aberdeen is Re-
peated.
The phenomenon Of last May, when
fish fell from the clouds in a heavy
downpour of rain, has been repeated.
For two days Aberdeen and vicinity
was visited with the most remarkable
rains known for the last fifteen years.
So far this month the precipitation has
been 1892 inches, and considerable
damage to the crops is reported. The
fsh-fall occurred during the heaviest
downpour, and boys took fish out Of
pools Of water in different parts Of the
city. There can be no question of the
fish falling from the clouds, for they
were found in pools that had formed
on the cement sidewalks.

Wade Hampton, in whose honor
this statue is erected, was one of

that end he had written to the
War Department, requesting to

He had found on investigation

He was first citizen, not a

age, Into an Ans00e,,.
Said to Haze Defeated
Hackenschmidt.

Fred Gruhn, the European wrestler
who has been saying uncomplimentary
things about the American champion,
Totn Jenkins, is soon to have a chance
to try his skill against Cleyeland's one
time, boilermaker.
Gruhn is now instructor at Columbia
university and Is a brilliant mat per-
former. He claims that he is stronger
than Jenkins and that he knows more
about wrestling than the champion.
AT any rate, Gruhn, who is German
by parentage. but English by birth, has
at his command a budget of very effec-
tive tricks, some of which are new to
American wrestlers.
Here is an answer to the def of
Gruhn, who issued n statement recently
to the effect that the Yankee wrestlcrs
had side stepped q match with him. He
included Tom Jenkins in his list, and the
American champion. through his
ager, comes back strong and is ready
for business provided Gruhn can pro-
duce coin enough to show he is in
earnest. jenkins Furthermore is ready
to meet any wrestler in the world.
Harry Pollok manager Of jenkins,
speaks as follows:
The wrestler named Fred Gruhn,
who claims the distinction of being the
only man who yer defeated Hacken-
| schmidt. has made the assertion that
Tom Jenkins, the American champion,
has side stepped a match with him.
''Gruhn, as l understand it, has been
in this country for some months and
asserts that he has repeatedly chal-
lenged Jenkins and that the latter has
beentconslstently silent.
During Jenkins career as a wrestler
he never once refused to meet a chal-
lenger whose claims for recognition
were founded on legitimate grounds.
