The heavy rains of late have played

weeds are growing SO fast in the blue
grass pastures that it is becoming quite
serious. If the rains do not cease
there viii be great loss to seed men.

I had for some time a most complete
opportunity Of contemplating this ex-
traordinary 0eing. His face is Of a
deadly pale, his jaws overhanging. but
not 50 much as I had heard. His hair
b short. Of a dark, dusky brown. He
generally stood with his hands knit
behind him or folded before him and
three or four times took SNUFF out Of q
plain brown box. Once he looked at
his watch. which. by the way. had a
gold face and, think, a brown hair
chain. like an English one. His teeth
seemed regular, but not clean. He
very seldom spoke. but when he did
smiled in some sort agreeably. He
looked about him-not knitting, but
Joining. his eyebrows. As the front Of
each regiment passed be put up the
first finger Of bis left hand quickly to

The Dazzling ssarehliaht.

On q dark night no warship would
be safe from torpedo attack but for
the searchlight. The full moon lights
up a torpedo boat so that It can be
fired at when nearly a mile away. To
produce the same illumination with
the most powerful artificial light an
electric arc Of 10000 candle power
placed three-quarters Of mile high
would be needed If the aid Of mirrors
were not available. But with this
light and an ingenious arrangement
Of mirrors it Is possible to surpass
the moon. Searchlights are now made
which throw light a distance Of sixty
three miles. but objects can be seen
only few miles from the source Of
the light The effect on the enemy is
most demoralizing. When the bright
beam Is suddenly thrown on the eye
the pupil contracts violently; when the
beam il removed the eye can see moth

Professor Unns OF Hamburg, Germany
and Dr.. Sabourand. the leading French
dermstologist, discovered that microbe
causes badness. Their theory has time
and again been amply certified through
research experiments carried on under
the observation of eminent scientists.
The microbe lodges in the Sebur, which
lie the natural hair oil, and when permit
ted to flourish it destroys the hair folli-
cles and in no time the pores entirely
close. and the scalp gradually takes on
q shiny appearance. When this hap
