GRAND DUKE BROKE THE BANK.

The Cars uncle, the Grand Duke
Alexis, who has just died, was one of
the few men who have ever broken
the bank at Monte Carlo. Playing
roulette one afternoon the duke had an
extraordinary run of luck, winning
about 10000 in half an hour. Play
stopped at the other tables, and every
one crowded round to watch the i'm
perial gambler. When finally he broke
the bank there was a roar of applause
and cheering. Like most Russian grand
dukes, he knew what 1t was to have
his life attempted. The co~nspirators
pulled up a section of the permanent
a near Cette, in France, owe which
it was known hat the dukes train
would pass. But they were too pre-
mature in their plans, and a luggage
train which preceded the dukes train
crashed over the embankment, killing
one of the conspirators, who was on
the watch. No one else vas hurt

VOODOOS.

1t is quite a mistake to describe, as
a contemporary does today. voodoo as
being derived from the red Indians. The
matter has come up in connection with
the use of a voodo ordeal in an Ameri-
can court, and it will be observed that
it was the negroes on the jury who re-
quested hat it should be applied. Woo
doc is an exclusively negro superstition,
and among the uncontaminated red In
dams is entirely unknown. Voodoo Is
n of the grossest N most horrible
of superstitions, and is identical with
the Obeah which the negroes brought
with them from Africa. At the bottom
it is a system of human sacrifice, as
the grim reference in the ritual to "the
goat without horns plainly shows. 1t
is ~practised almost openly in Hayti,
and if report speaks truly. the negroes
in the Southern States tend more and
more to revert to it. at any rate in
the milder f~orm.-London Globe.

ChiIdren'S Heads Clean

fne9 Is always more or less trouble keeping
the heads of children free from vermin, espe-
eiaily while attending school. An bad smelling
oils and poisonous drugs should be avoided, as
they ruin the hair and endanger the children's
lives. This simple but sure remedy, which Is
by leading physicians and has
been adopted by school and health authorities.
should be followed by every mother OF children.
Wet the hair with warm water and rub thor
oughly with Fitzgerald's Vermln Hair Soap, a
sanitary medicated shampoo which can he OBJ

thick, medicated lather. which should be al

HEDGE OF ROSES.

1t is not generally known what a
delightful feature a rose hedge may
become, ever in the villa garden, or
such would more often be planted in
lieu of the ubiquitous privet.
Where the area of the garden is
limited, or where only a moderately
high hedge is desired for encircling the
rose garden or bordering a tennis lawn.
a selection should be made from the
China or monthly roses, the japanese
or rugoso roses and the Austrian briars.
If the garden is very sheltered some of
the stronger growing of the dwarf
teas could be utilized, and from the
free Towering p~olyantha group de-
lightful little hedges can be made that
would grow to a height of three or four
feet.-The Gardener.
