itician In the first place and because
he is a patriot In the second place.
There Is more than one man In the
United States senate who hates Hitch
cock and froths at the mouth when he
thinks about the secretary. In the
lower house Of congress are several
men who would get up out Of bed at
midnight on the coolest day Of the
year to embrace an opportunity to "do''
Hitchcock. Why? oh, the story is too
long to tell here; but, briefly, 1t is be-
cause these members have among their
constituents highly influential men
who are under Indictment or who are
likely to be under Indictment through
the secretary's efforts to run down the
land thieves. s55s
First Ambassador to st. Petersburg.
Most Of the American people are hon
est. Most Of us would not steal stove
or pocketbook or parcel of land lie
I'VE had the chance. No matter what
/ party we may belong to, we who our
selves would not steal cannot help but
admire this man who has spent several
years in hard daily work running down
!; those who do steal and have stolen
when he might have confined his Off
cia1 activities to signing few docu-
ments and spent the. rest OF his time
! shining In society or playing politics.
Honest citizens who are aware OF
what Ethan Allen Hitchcock has done
for the present and future Of this gov
eminent and country are inclined to
congratulate Uncle Sam upon the fact
that away back yonder In the last
month OF 1893 President Mckinley
wired the American ambassador to
Russia an offer OF the interior depart
ment portfolio The ambassador was
Mr.. Hitchcock, who had been appoint
ed American minister to the cars
court little more than year before.
The ministry was raised to an en-
bassy during Mr.. Hitchcock's occupan-
cy, SO that he became our first ambas-
sador to St Petersburg.
e Mr.. Hitchcock was glad to accept
the offer. He did not fancy the social
affairs incident to an ambassadorship.
He had been plain business man all
bis life, and he wanted a plain bust
ness Job, where he could sit at q desk
and do things. The senate confirmed
bis nomination on the same day it was
made, and Mr.. Hitchcock was sworn In
70 succeed Secretary Cornelius N. Bliss.

TO Make Your Hair Curl.

& a curious recipe for making the hair
curl naturally" is given in an ancient
household notebook and is as follows:
IN the early spring, when the sap of
the wild grapevine begins to flow, take
a bottle to the woods and tie 1t under
an incision made in the vine, through
which the sap may drip, and leave 1T
there till it is filed. The same subtle
chemistry which curls the tendrils Of
the vine will act upon the hair and
twist it into softer rings than the ubiq-
uitous hot iron or any Of the patent
curriers' Of the day. The sap should be
allowed to ferment all it will before it
is corked When ready for use it should
be rubbed into the hair with soft.

Tho Axial Rotation of Venus.

For over two centuries it was gener- ally accepted that, like the earth, the planet Venus rotated on it's axis in d little less than twenty four hours. bu, since Schiaparelli after long and care ful observation of the planet suggest ed that the actual rotation period was between six and nine months astron, omers have devoted much attention to this matter. In the Observatory MT Denning sums up the available evi. dence on the point and can only con. clude that this particular problem still defles solution. Life on Venus would be very different from life on the earth should the planets avial rotation be. as Schiaparelli asserted, identical with the period of it's revolution round the sun, as in that case the same hemi- sphere would always be turned to the sun and enjoy perpetual day, while tue opposite hemisphere would be doomed to eternal night.

The fields as well as the broad roads of Ecuador are inclosed by adobe walls surmounted by the broad leaved Amer lean aloe. The aloe, sometimes called the century plant, is one of the most useful and important plants in the country. The Indians thatch their huts with it's leaves. The leaves when tap ped yield sirup. They can also be used as soap and the spines as pins. The fiber Is woven into sacks, and from it are made the coarse sandals worn by the common people.

The press in commenting upon

Miss Eliza beth Henderson says:
In her you may see almost the
acme of the natura|istic. Her
art is subtle, decisive and sure.
Every step is marked by keen
insight and keen intelligence. It
is the minimum of the theatric
and the maximum of the dram
a:ic. AS q result Elizabeth
Henderson appeals to the intel
lect rather than the emotions.
Of all the young actresses upon
our stage she probably relies
upon personality and externals.
It is the essential truth of a
character that she aims at. In
this fact lies the reason why she
so often strikes the note of real
greatness. 1t is not 'showy'
actisg but to those who think,
it is far more telling and mean
ing than the sensational almost
gymnastlc efforts which usually
succeed in taking the unimagin.
ative off their feet. Reserve
force and the power to suggest
as well as to express are char
'scteristics in which Elizabeth
Henderson excels." :
