Miorobe Of GRAY Hair.

They have discovered n new mic
robe In New York and II is quite popu-
lar among actors and society women.
1t is called the chromophagc. Its spe-
cial function being to turn the hair
gray at a comparatively early age. The
handsome actor who has those white
hairs on his temple that the women
admire so is full OF the chromophages.
Baldheaded men are immune from the
microbes. He only attacks the hair.
and man without hair need not wor-
ry about the chromophage. For years
II was thought that a process OF the
blood killed the coloring matter OF the
! air cells. but scalpologists In New
York combat that theory. They say
II is the chromophage. The microbe
does not like heat and for that reason
the woman who uses the curling tongs
Is less likely to have gray hair than
the one who puts her sair up In pa
pers.

What Fuss They Do Make with u
at Any and All Times.

Women have great times with their
hair. says the Atchison Globe. II they
visit in dry climate they are sure
To say when they come home: My
hair acted lovely. II did not come out
OF curl at all"
IL they go where II is damp they
say when they come home: 1t was
the worst place for hair: my hair
was as straight as string all the
time"
Once in three or four weeks they
wash their hair and then they tell
each other how they cannot do a thing
with their hair. as it has Just been
washed. For a week or two before IL
is washed they say 1t is n disgrace
they do not wash their hair: that 1t
is SO sticky they cannot do thing
with It.
The women are always telling each
other they look horrid with their hair
down low. or else they would not be
seen with it done high. Their hair is
either all coming out or else they can
not Imagine what has happened but
1t is coming in thick and lovely"
As they walk down the street the
women are forever reaching for their
back hair and catching up short locks
with hairpins, or feeling to see If their
hair Is coming down. When they get
in front of mirror the very first
thing the women look at is their hair
and twitch it one way or the other
No matter what any woman has on
her mind. her hair takes first place.

Southern immigration.

II viii AFFORD qualification 10 all good
Americans &c know that the South Caro-
lima plan of securing desirable immi-
grants is not in conflict with the Federal
immigration law. That law, it appears
from the opinion of Solicitor Earl, Of the
Department of Commerce and Labor. does
not forbid the procurement of immigra-
ton by State agencies. The action Of the
State immigration agent Of South Caro-
lima was. In fact entirely within the
bounds of the law. and no legal ground of
complaint lies against him.
As a number Of Southern States are
about to follow the example Of South
Carolina, the decision Of Solicitor Earl is
OF great Importance to the South. where
the need of labor is great. and where the
social purposes which may be subserved
by inducing a high grade Of white immi-
grafton are Of vital consequence. It is
curious that the law should not have been
more fully understood not only by the
Southern immigration agents. but also by
those who made formal complaint that
their action was in contraventiOn of the
statute. But alPs well that ends well. and
the Southern people may now go ahead
with their immigration schemes without
fear Of the Federal big stick. There are
still some State rights left.

Upon the placid bosom Of an alleged
mythical lake in Panama there floats "a
boat-a real boat And thereby hangs
a tale"
That mighty encyclopedia of statistical
lore, Mr.. Poultney Bigelow. declared in a
recent magazine article that the alleged
lake from which the drinking water was
supposed 10 be drawn for use in Panama
did not exist-exCept in the minds Of
boosters for the governments pet scheme
and in the fancy Of Overcredulous people.
Mr.. Bigelow searched for It in vain.
Such water as he could find was very
bad not at all to his taste nor conducive
to his health. happiness. OF religious med
itation
Nj Roosevelt went TO the isthmus for
a personal inspection Of the work on the
canal and the surrounding conditions
generally. one OF his first discover
les was the lake which Mr. Bige-
lows eagle eye had failed TO locate.
There it was, a sure enough lake; and the
water was all right. for. in his Panama
message, the President says: I drank
some of It. and it was excellent" Per
haps the Presidents somewhat hasty
