DREADFUL DANDRUFF.

Grips Head Encrusted-Feared Loss
of All Her Hair-Baby Had Milk
Crust-MissiOnary's Wife Made
Perfect Cures by Cuticura.
For several years my husband was
a missionary in the Southwest. Every
one in that high and dry atmosphere
has more or less trouble with dandruf
and my daughters scalp became so en-
crusted with it that l was alarmed for
fear she would lose all her hair. After
trying various remedies, in desperation
1 bought a cake. of Cuticura Soap and
a box of Cuticura Ointment. They left
the scalp beautifully clean and free
from dandruff and I am happy to say
that the Cuticura Remedies were a
complete success. l have also used
successfully the Cuticura Remedies for
so-called 'milk-crust' on baby's head.

SMALLEST PRISON.
That of Sark, Though Ancient, Contains
h1t Two Cells

but Two cells.
Sark. the loveliest of the Channel
islands, possesses a quaint old prison of
two cells, more as a matter of form than
of necessity, for serious crime is almost
unknown in the island, which has no
paid police, but simply an elected con-
stable.
It is some years since the prison was
called into requisition, says The Strand,
and on the last occasion the bolt was
found to be so rusty that it had to be
broken before the door could be opened.
The prisoner was then put in, left all
night with the door open and made no
attempt to escape.
On another occasion a young English
servant who had stolen some clothes was
sentenced to three days imprisonment.
The prospect so terrified her that the
authorities took pity on her loneliness
and considerably left the cell open. The
little maid sat in the doorway and was
consoled by kind-hearted Sark women.
who came to keep her company.
A still more curious incident is told OF
a man who was convicted for neglecting
his wife and children. He was ordered
to betake himself to the prison and there
wait for the arrival of the constable.
This he did, sitting outside until the
door was opened to let him in.-New

MADE A MILLION IN ONIONS.
Statistics of This Years Crop in South
west Texas

The official figures of this years onion
crop in southwest Texas have just been
compiled by Roy Campbell, manager of
the Southern Texas Truck Growers as
sociation, which handled the bulk of the
shipments. The total shipments up to
June 1 were $3.50 cars.
The average number of crates to car
is $50. 1t is estimated by Mr.. Camp
bell that the growers Melted an average
of not less than 20 cents a crate or $345
a car. This makes the net income to
the growers 1888, $50 on 1850 cars. Some
of the growers think that the average
profit will be nearer 90 cents a crate
than IS cents. If the greater estimate
is correct the total returns from the sea-
sons crop will be in excess of 81 ,OO0,-
600.
The largest onion shipping point is
Laredo, which sent out 100 cars Of the
product this season. The shipments went
to all parts Of the United States and
Canada

ORIGIN
OF a Famous Human Food.

OF Famous Human Food.
The story of great discoveries Or in
ventions is always Of interest.
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lack of bodily
strength and vigor and could not car
ry out the plans and enterprises he
knew how to conduct, was led to study
various foods and their effects upon the
human system. In other words, before
he could carry out his plans he had
to find a food that would carry him
along and renew his physical and
mental strength.
He knew that food which was a
brain and nerve builder (rather than
a mere fat maker) was universally
needed. He knew that meat with the
average man does not accomplish the
desired results. He knew that the
soft gray substance in brain and nerve
centers is made from Albumen and
Phosphate of Potash obtained from
food. Then he started to solve the
problem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous
food It contains the brain and nerve
building food elements in condition for
easy digestion.
The result of eating Grape-Nuts
daily is easily seen in a marked stur-
diness and activity of the brain and
nervous system, making it pleasure
for one to carry on the daily duties
without fatigue or exhaustion.
Grape-Nuts food is in no sense a
stimulant but is simply food which
renews and replaces the daily waste
of brain and nerves.
Its favour is charming and being
fully and thoroughly cooked at the
factory it is served instantly with
cream.
The signature of the brain worker
spoken of, c. W. Post, is to be seen
on each genuine package of Grape
Nuts.

Prof. Frederick W. Mott, lecturing be-
fore the Royal Institution of Great Brit
ain on 1.-THE Brain" said that, although
n So Ter cent Of the cases in which
the brains of great men had been
weighed the weight was above the aver
age brain weight itself did not always
mean brain quality, says the London
Globe.
When there was lack of the function
ating tissue, the lecturer explained, the
structural material might receive more
than it's normal share of nourishment
and the extra weight be due to over
growth of ''brain scaffolding." This &C
counted for the very large and heavy
brains sometimes found in congenltal
idiots.
Pointing out that the brain weight of
a race long civilized surpassed that, of
aborigines, the lecturer stated that
whereas the ordinary European hospital
patient had a heavier brain than saw
age, the Chinese coolie laborers brain,
developed by centuries of use, weighed
one and one-half ounces more than that
of the European hospital patient.
Referring to the relative brain weights
Of Caucasian men and women, Prof.
Mott said that the female brain had a
good start, weighing nearly one and one
half ounces more than the male brain at
birth. In adult life, however, the aver
age mans brain weighed about five and
one-half ounces more than the woman's.
The average weight of the European
male brain was 2 pounds Is ounces 8

and of the female brain 2 pounds 10
