WOMAN'S BEAUTY
It Can Never Be Perfect Without
 Luxuriant Hair

A head of luxurfant hair is sure to be attractive. But nature has not crowned every woman with glorious hair. Some very loveable women she has treated rather scantily in this re- spect.
 For instance, there are tens of thou sands of women in America today, who have harsh, faded and 1usterless hair; who are unattractive simply because they do not know that nowadays even the whims of nature can be overru1ed ty the genius of science.
 If you are a woman without beauti- full hair, do not permit your attrac- tions to be hidden because of this slight misfortune.
 Go today to Leverty & Bro. and buy a large bottle of Parisian Sage for 50 cents, use it each night. and you will notice the harsh. repulsive hair disap- pear, and in it's place, will come soft, silky, bright and luxuriant hair.
 Parisian Sage is guaranteed by Lev erty & Bro. to cure dandruff, itching of the scalp, and stop falling hair in two weeks or money hack-

Revolutionary Outbreak
 as Result of Strike
Special from United Press)

T
 Meru, France, April 14.-The officials of the General Federation of Labor arrived here today to take charge Of the button makers strike which 1t is freely admitted is now q real revo- lutionary outbreak. In order to prove their strength the labor officials have directed that a twenty-four hour strike be inaugurated in every industry here. This began this morning and the re- sponse was all that the labor leaders wanted.
 So serious is the situation that the prefect of police has telegraphed Paris that more troops are needed. He ad- mits that he has grave doubts of the loyalty of the troops in the local bar racks. The officials of the Federation are in consultation at labor headQuar- ters. They openly assert that the button manufacturers must yield at once, otherwise a strike that will be country wide will be ordered. Up to the present time there has been no disorder but the bitter feeling is in tense and clashes between the strik- CTS and the troops are feared.

The stinEing Tree.

The stinging tree of Australia some what resembles gigantic nettle. It has an unpleasant odor, and the na- tives and native animals are careful to avoid it. When a man is stung by the Hee-or, to. put it more prosaically. pricked by the trees thorn-the little wound gives him at first no pain what ever. But tn few minutes a madden ing pain is set up; the victim shrieks and rolls upon the ground. For months afterward when water touches the stung part great agony ensues. Dogs when stung rush about with piteous whines, biting pieces of flesh from the place that has been stung.

West End Greeks Are
 Choked With Shipping

The importance of the harbor in the West End of this city is clearly mani fested now when the Roadstead is fill- ed with vessels. Since the creek running from Black Rock harbor up to Iranistan avenue and it's branch, Cedar Creek, running to Railroad ave- nue, was dredged by the government, the manufacturers in that vicinity have been receiving a large part of their products by way of boat from New York, saving both time and mon ey.
 There are at present several schoon- CTS in Cedar Creek. A coal consign- ment to a number of shippers has blocked the creek from one side to the other, so that it is possible to walk from shore to shore. There are also several schooners unloading lumber and pipe, supplies to factories. This harbor was used before the harbor in the center of the city Eighty years ago, it was Black Rock harbor that waa the haven of Merchantmen.

Can You Count a Billion.

The following remarkable calculation oa the length of time which it would take a perHon to count 1,OOO, ,OOO, ,OOO ap- peared in the English Mathematician: What is a billion? The reply is simple. In England a billion is a million times million This is quickly written and quicker still pronounced, but no man Is able to count it. You will count 16O or ITO minute, but let us suppose that you go up as'high as 200 minute, hour after hour At that rate you would count 12,OOo an hour, 2Ss, 900 a day or 105, 120, 900 in q year. Let us suppose now that Adam, at the beginning of his existence, had=begun to count, had con- tinued to do so ana was counting still. Had such thing been possible he would not yet have finished the task of counting a billion. To count a bill lion would require a person to count POO 8 minute for a period of 9,512 years b42 days hours 20 minutes, provided that he should count con- tinuously. But suppose we allow the counter twelve hours daily for rest, eating and sleeping. Then he would heed 1S,025 years 31o days 10 hours 45 minutes in which to complete the task.

 The "hired girl" (we never, never al- luded to her as ''the maid" in the small American town or quiet country place where you and were "raised'C was like one of the family. and mother was glad to have her help, and none of us put on any frills with her, and she was not compelled to put on any frills of cap or apron with us. Ofttimes, espe- cially in the quiet country places, her social standing was as good as that of anybody else. Usually she was one of grown family of girls There was plenty of help at her house, and SO she came and assisted our mother at our house. In their hours Of ease mother and she discussed the neighborhood gossip together. The "hired girp' had her beau, neighbor's stolid, sheepish son, and much was she joked about him, and finally, after years of faithful and friendly servitude, she married him. We went to the wedding, and 1t was quite a social affair, with much temperate merriment and with many cheap but useful presents.-Every- body's Magazine.

Color Scheme. In BuiIdine.

Color Schemes In Building.
 Strange how little we Americans do with color. We havO a red brick house or yellow brick house with red tile roof or green roof, and that's about the gamut we run. Most beautiful ef- fects can be gained by the use of enam- eled colors even on flat surfaces; dainty patterns can be worked out and bril- liant yet harmonious effects gained. Our coloring schemes are tame. We certainly have much to learn in that re- spect from the Persians of old. They were masters in enamel, and their work was gorgeous, beautiful. With US it is lack of taste Sit certainly is not lack of material. There are American makers of tile that produce material equal to that of antiquity, the richest coiors and the most easily adapted shapes.-Clay Worker.

webster's Compliment.

While it is well known that Daniel Webster in speaking of General Fay lor's candidacy for the office of presi- dent pronounced 1t "a nomination not fit to be made" he never failed to. do justice to the generals military abil- ities and eminent service in the field. On one occasion he paid the old sol dier a delicate and we'll deserved com pliment. General Taylor was com plaining of the crowds of people whs daily besieged him soon after his as. cession to the presidency.
