The WAYS of the crank with an III
vention are unaccountable. Here IS a
recent actual example. \ brisk, eager
individual called on capitalist for
the purpose of Interesting him in Il de
vice for diScoura ging burglars.
Il want to get the idea patented he
said. and | haven't any money. I'm
willing to 20 halves with any man
that W i'll give me the financial backing.
My scheme is this. You first make
your doors and windows secure, 50
that they can't be opened at all from
the outside. There are plenty of devices
for doing that nowadays. Make all of
them tight and fast, except one. Leave
that one SO that it will open easily.
Then run Il wire from that window TO
the head of your bed, where you have
an alarm bell The burglar comes
along, tries the doors and windows,
and when he comes to that one Ii
raises it. The alarm goes Off, ana the
burglar hears it and fees, or it wakes
you up, and YOU are ready for him. In
either case it accomplishes your puT
pose"
But said the capitalist, eff You
can make all the doors and windows
fast except one. why not make that
one SECURE. too. and thus keep the bur
glar out entireiy:'
Il never thought of that?" replied
the inventor, rubbing his jaw.
He didn't get the money.

GEORGE WAsHINGToN's QUEUE.
1t Hid Luxuriant Suit of Straight and
Very Dark Hair.

The father of his country concealed
a luxuriant suit of hair beneath his
queue wig. Many now wish the old
fashion were in vogue, to conceal thin
ned hair or badness. Yet no one need
have thin hair nor be bald, if he cure
the dandruff that causes both. Dan
druff can not be cured by securing the
scalp, because it is a germ disease, and
the germ has to be killed. Newbro's
Herpicide kills the dandruff germ-nO
other hair preparation will. Destroy
the cause, YOU remove the effect"
