Quality of Horsehair.

The raw horsehair used in the
manufacture of haircloth for uphoi-
sterfng purposes is Just now high
priced in this country because of the
situation which during and since tho
Russo-Japanese war has prevailed
In Russia, whence most of the hair
comes. The best of such cloth must
have a certain width of weave, which
depends upon the length Of the hairs,
and In this respect the Russian
horses are superior, having tails
which sweep the ground. Much OF
the weaving is done in this country.
For the narrower weaves of the
cloth. used by tailors in lining coats,
the hair from American horses on
the Western plains Is used.

Der, 1905. just after the election of Ber-
ry, ard between that time and the fol-
lowing May when Berry was installed
in the office the Board of Public Build
ing and Grounds approved palpably
fraudulent bills amounting to nearly
four millions of dollars.
There is proverb that "you can't
make silk purse out of a sow's ear.n
1t is equally certain that corrupt
party machine will not purify itself.
Therefore Mr.. Berry is correct in his
belief that the election of u Democrat

Treasurer is esential to complete re-
form.

Vesuvius in Eruption Many per-
sons regard a volcanic eruption merely
as a magnificent, awe-inspiring spec
tacle They forget what a terribly dis
astrous force it is. Both these phases

istic reproduction of the recent erup-
ton of Mt. VesuviUs in the Illinois the
alter on Saturday, May II, matinee and

ascent up vast slopes of dead gray,
desolate lava. Above it CLEANS the red

death and destruction on hundreds of

stronger than the fear of death Ar
irving on the brink of the crater, the

WHAT scIATlcA is.

Sciatica often called sciatic rheu-
matism, is in nearly every case the re-
suit of pressure on the sciatic nerve.
or on one of the nerve strands that
leave the lower part of the spine to
form the great sciatic nerve. This
causes congestion of the sheath sur
rounding the nerve. resulting in severe
pain and muscular contraction with
apparent shortening OF the affected
limb in severe cases. Curing the troh-
BILE therefore depends upon locating
and removing the pressure from the
nerve or nerve strands; and such pro-
cedure is ito the skilled osteopath a
comparatively simple matter s.apd is
accomplished by means of suitable
manipulations and adjustment OF the

THIS is MY I'D BIRTHDAY.
Sir Robert Hart.


Sir Robert Hart, director general of
Chinese customs. whom the cable dis
patches say is likely soon to relin-
quish his post, was born in Ireland,
February 20, 1885. He became direc-
to general of Chinese customs-inland
as wei as maritime-in 1901. The
office was bestowed upon him as a
reward for services rendered to the
Chinese government in connection
with the international settlement of
the situation following the Boxer
troubles. He created the customs
service and gave China her present
tariff. He has been behind every com
marcial treaty which China has made.
Sir Robert also established the light
service on the dangerous Chinese
coast, and the postal service, which is
now being extended to all parts Of
China. He has received the greatest
honors in the gift of the Chinese gov
eminent In 1885 he was appointed
minister of Queen Victoria at the
court of Pekin, but in short time he
resigned to resume his former place
as a Chinese official at the head of
the customs department.

terests of the state or the party. In
some manner they will work out the
proper results, for there is no other
