re Is the rarest thing in the world for
q man to be necessarily bald. No man
whose hair is not dead at the roots, need
be bald If he will use Newbro's Herpi-
eide, the new scalp antiseptic. Herpi-
eide destroys the germ that cuts the hair
OF at the root; and cleans the scalp of
dandrufr and leaves It in a perfectly
healthy condition. Mr.. Mannett, in the
Maryland Block, Butte. Mont, was en-
tirely bald. In less than a month Herpi-
eide had removed the enemies Of hair
growth, and nature did its work by COW
ering his head with thick hair an inch
long, and in six weeks he had normal
suit of hair. Sold by leading druggists.

was in the city as the agent for a

tilator. and the practical jokers sent
him to a nearby village where there
was an epidemic of smallpox. When

without my knowing his name or place
of residence, saying, If l ever get out
Of this will return and get the goods. :
He never came and there were $15
worth of them. and I found them very
convenient. That was over 30 years
ago. and 1 have always thought he
was a victim of a joke which proved
fatal The jol1ers never knew. what
happened-I really do not know what
happened, either; but as he was clean
and honorable in appearance, l have
always thought he lost his life to
those who thought they were doing
something funny.

The floral catalogues show the taste
and skill Of the printer and the audac-
ity Of the publisher. Perhaps you do
not realize that these catalogues have
to be sensational to take; and it is the
love of sensational things which is re-
sponsible for the doomed plants and
advertised horticultural wonders. It
is in the sensational section that the
unwary patron gets squeezed for a
very ordinary plant. What some pub
fishers boom other publishers do not.
Result: In some catalogues a S5-cent
bulb is offered as prize at 81, and
they find plenty of takers at that.
Think of paying $50 for five fahlia
plants with all the attending chances
Of falling to make them productive.
1t isn't any easier for an amateur to
raise a SO dahlia plant than for him
to bring to maturity $50 six-weeks-
old bull terrier. Both these feats are
extra hazardous for amateurs. DO not
get into the maze of pink catalogue
pages unless you want to get bit. It
is only in the everyday portion that
you are safe.

Now some one has risen to tell us
that terra firrna" is hoax, that there
is no such thing-that this rolling
globe on which we live Is elastic and
that its shell from atmospheric pres
sure and inward tides rises and falls
four inches twice a day. There is an
observatory at Kimberly, South Africa.
where this phenomena has been studied
for many years with delicate instru-
ments which tell of tides in the earth.
When the barometer stands at 80 and
the atmospheric pressure is half ton
on every square yard Of earth the
crust is depressed four inches; and
this discovery that the earth's shell
yields daily to pressure like the peel
Of a squeezed orange may account for
some of the ,subterranean openings
into which the earth's crust tumbles
when we have an earthquake. The
sands Of time are shifting sands, and
man does not stay on this mundane
sphere long enough to learn much
about them.
