How to Cultivate Ones Own Hair.

How to Cultivate Ones Own Hair. A woman who respects her personal appearance is invariably well groom ed. Nothing adds a great charm to her presence than the supreme ele- gance of a well groomed head; a simple arrangement of the hair is all ways becoming especially to the young, and when it denotes care, as , to it's refreshing cleanliness, natural gloss and luXuriant growth, then, in deed, it is her crowning glory.
 No woman, however busy or tired she may be, can afford to slight or neglect her hair She may have been taught during childhood the import ance of caring for her teeth, the ne cessity of brushing them after each meal, and especially after dinner or supper, as the case may be, and this habit grows with her; she does it mechanically without note of time re- quired for this purpose, but when it applies to her hair it seems such a troublesome task that most likely she neglects it until she realizes her mistake as indicated by abnormal shedding. or dry, wiry, frumpy condi- tion,
 Constant and unceasing care is the price one must pay if one desires to retain the youthful abundance and beauty of ones tresses. A head of beautiful hair is surely worth all the effort it may require to preserve or regain it.
 There should be much care and at tention bestowed upon the hair to preserve it's youthful appearance as is generally devoted to the face and complexion. A certain condition of the hair is quite as indicative of age, as are wrinkles and a faded com plexion. besides being much more in evidence, for frowsy. wiry. unmanage- able hair can not be concealed or ar ranged in a becoming or youthful style
 The very little attention which a healthy young person possessing a healthful head of hair is required to give it, is that attention which is most amply rewarded because once the hair becomes diseased. or its beauty impaired through neglect, so much more time is required. and ef fort be made to restore its normal condition of former luxtriance.
 The hair is provided with roots, pigmentary glands. oil cells, and the elements of nutrition necessary for it's maintenance in good condition until old age approaches, when in common with other functions of the human body, it must, to q certain extent di- minish and fade; but not to the ex tent of absolute badness. Accord ing to Sir Erasmus Wilson, whose opinion I hold in highest esteem. such conditions as badness among men and scanty hair among women need not exist, and when such conditions are in evidence it is the result of neglect. or diseased.
 A little time and correct treatment given daily to the care of the hair will insure a fair growth to the end of life. and one can not begin too early with this good work.
 An amount of time and care must necessarily be spent by a young wo- man gifted by nature with long, wavy,

SOME INDIANS OF PERU

Surrounded by Civilization, They Pre- serve Aboriginal Customs.

 An authoritative account of these Indians, transmitted by MT. Charles C. Eberhardt, formerly American con- sul at Iquitos. has just been published by the Smithsonian Institution at Washington, in one of its series of official publications for the diffusion of knowledge among men"
 The survivors of aboriginal stock are roughly included in some half a hundred tribes, but subdivisions of these tribes and remnants of families now nearly extinct could easily swell the number more than ten-fold. While some general characteristics run through the whole race, each tribe retains certain peculiar customs of its own followed, as ever, with religious diligence.
 Peculiar Customs.

 The Nahumedes, now almost ex- tinct, tradition has it, were respon- sible. on account of their short skirt like "cushmas" and their long, loose flowing hair, for the naming of the great Amazon. IL was they who in the garb of women warriors at tackled a river party on the exploring expedition of the Spaniard, Pizarro, and were immediately dubbed anna zonas." The great river naturally took it's name from them.
 Mummified Heads.
 Rather gruesome to civilized eyes must be the preparation of human heads practiced by the Aguarunas, of the Maranon river district. This tribe, sometimes called Head hunters" has the repulsive custom of treating the heads of their enemies. after death, in such a manner that, though re- duced to about one-fifth their natural size, they retain the same shape throughout that they possessed dur ing life, and in a seemingly mummi- fled. diminutive head thus prepared, can easily be recognized the features of the individual when alive
 The American consul says:
 specimens of these heads became so much in demand a few years ago for museums, etc, that a premium seemed to be thus placed on the heads for persons venturing in the

PLAYING WITH FIRE.
Counsel for Nickel Plate Advocates a
Railroad Political Party.

Chicago, March 19.-The formation
of new political party-with the mil
lion and a half railroad employees of
the country as a "nucleus'-to COM
bat restrictive railroad legislation,
both in the national congress and IN
the state legislatures, was advocated
by John H. Clarke, counsel for the
Nickel Plate system, at the annual
banquet of the American Railway En-
cheering association last night.
Every industry In the country ex-
cept the greatest of all, agriculture. Is
organized to protect the capital which
is invested in it and the investors,
said Mr.. Clarke. ''It should be the
same with the railroads. 1t should be
an easy matter to organize the rail-
roads. and there never was more OPP
perfume time to attempt it. The 3OO,-
900 idle railroad men of the country
would listen eagerly to proposition
to organize a great political party. and
the 100000 railroad men still working
are ready to listen to any plan to
guarantee means Of livelihood, to
themselves and their brothers and to
return prosperity. In 1896 they stood
together solidly, when the cause was
not SO great, and they can and will do
it again.
.Only one man can stop the anti
railroad LEGISLATION rage which pre-
walls. and he is the voter. l believe
we should organize railroad men into
a compact political party, and I be-
lieye a great leader will arise who can
effect such a great organization when
the call is sounded.

New York jewelry buyer, wanted for theft
of S165,O00 worth of pearls md diamonds,
is J. E. Boeck. For the past year he has
been in Nevada, where he was supposed
to be wealthy mine owner.
He became interested in a mine in con-
nection with w. H. Seaman, Of Reno and
Goldfield, and visited this city frequently
in company with Seamans, when the two
occupied apartments together at the
hotel.
On two occasions Seamans reported to
the police of this city the loss of jewelry
from his apartments. Once in Reno Sea-
mans permitted Boeck to have the key to
his safe deposit box, on the pretext that
he wished to deposit mining stock therein.
1t has been discovered by Seamans that
$4,000 worth of jewelry belonging to his
wife is missing from the box.
Seamans last night identified Burke as
Boeck. and when pawn tickets aggregat-
ing 5000 were found on Boecks person
by the detectives and the jewelry they
represented traced to the pawnshop it was
found to be Seamans' jewe1ry.
Boeck says that he is willing to go back
to New York to face the charges against
him there without extradition papers.

The lowlands of this city are mum

DRINK LIQUOR IN CAPITOL
Janitors Do Big Business in Empty
Bottles.

The state capitol building, where the
prohibitory law was passed and whence
comes all the inspiration for It's en-
forcement, is, paradoxica1ly, the ia
vorite place for people to 90 to drink
beer.
The very summit of happiness for
some people seems to be to go I'D on
the top of the dome with a few bottles
secreted about their clothes, and then
leave the empties in the state house
garnet as they come down.
IL the custodian would permit it, the
dome would probably be the favorite
place for keg parties. But of course
all the liquor which goes up into the
dome has to be smuggled up. In fact,
drinking about the building isn't sup
posed to be tolerated under any cir
cumstances The only way the Off
GERS In charge of the building know
ings."
Every morning the janitors walk
around the outside of the building and
collect from one to three dozen beer
bottles which have been left there

friendly shadow of the big building to
drink their liquor. There are plenty
of alcoves and hooks where a man or
two can hide while they put away a
few quarts.
usually have sense enough not to throw
their empties off, otherwise there might
be a longer list of dead and wounded
in the daily papers. The usual plan is
to bring the bottles down to the north
garnet, through which the dome stair
way passes, and leave them there for
the janitor. The business of collecting
bottles in the garnet is a steady por-
ton of the income of some of the state
house janitorial force.
