THE INvALID's HAIR.
How a Woman Sufferer May Be
Spared Much Pain.

In every ones life there comes the
work of having to comb or diseatangle
the hair of woman who has been
sick 1t is not an easy task. tire
quires patience and good deal of
knowledge. Those who have never
done the work may be glad to stow
away in their memory these facts:
That knots in hair should always be
disentangled from below. not above.
In smoothing and combing a sick
persons hair the first work is to part
it from forehead to nape Of neck and
brush the two divisions well away
from each other.
The hair should be separated by the
comb into small divisions, one at
time, beginning at the forehead. The
combing should begin at the end of
hair, never at the scalp. The hair
near the head should be securely held
by the hand and twisted over one fin
ger so that the scalp will not feel any
pull from the comb.
Begin work about an inch from the
end and gradually work up. When a
knot is struck it should be separated,
If possible, from the smooth hair and
loosened by the teeth of the comb at
its lower edge.
The comb should not be placed above
it, as this will make it more obdurate
and snarl the other hair. If knot
is loosened by the teeth Of the comb
inserted into the outer edges and shak-
en- gently, the hairs uncon and spring
back into the rightful position.
A little skill and little patience will
teach person how to disentangle any
snarls with speed and ease.
When each division of the hair has
been gently combed out and separated
from those that are uncombed, all the
hair should be drawn back over the
shoulders and the comb gently run
through it from forehead to ends.
If the patient remains in bed the
hair should be again parted down cen.
ter and softly braided into two plaits
which have the ends turned under and
securely tied with baby ribbon. Be
sure not to make these plaits too tight.
They should not start at the roots of
the hair, for this causes a constant
pull on the scalp. which results in
soreness or headache.

lNEBRIETY.

The close relation Of inebriacy to
insanity is indicated from the fact
that al forms of insanity, from mel
ancholia to imbecility, are found in
inebriacy. 1t is artificial; it begins
with a slight maniacal excitation
thoughts flow lucidly the quiet be-
come loquacious, the modest bold i;
there is need Of muscular action; the
emotions are expressed in laughter,
singing and dancing. Now the es-
thetical ideas and moral impulses
are lost control Of, the weak side of
the individual is apparent, his
secrets revealed: he is dognatic,
cruel, cynical, dangerous; he insists
that he is not drunk, just as the in
sane insists on his sanity. Then his
mind becomes weak, his conscious
ness dim; illusions arise; he stam-
mers, staggers and, like a paralytic,
his movements are uncertain.

WHAT is A BILLlON?

Great Britain clings to its own
numerical system and regards bill
lion as a million times million.
But America differs, a billion in the
United States being only thousand
million. This is perhaps the only
instance in which thing is bigger
in the old country than in the new.
One has to go only little way from
England-te Calais-te find the bill
lion lessened; for France dignifes
a thousand million with the name
Of billion. They are wasting a word
in France in this connection, how
ever, inasmuch as there is already
a word, milliard, to designate this
number.-The Sunday Magazine.

Enforcing the Quarantine

We notice by the editorials in the
Fowler Gazette that the regulations
of the quarantine there have been
almost totally disregarded. The
death notice in another column of
this issue states the result of this
worse than criminal carelessness on
the part of parents in whose family
the disease has been once seated.
It also marks either as incompetent
or rabbits, or both, the officers of
the town who have failed to do their
duty. DR.. Leslie. officially, direct
ed the things necessary to prevent
the spread OF the disease, and if the
parents first, or later the officers,
had strictly enforced the quarantine,
there would have been no spread af-
ter the first cases became known.
Now there should be no hesitancy
on the part of officers to enforce the
law to the letter. Every citizen of
the county should help DR.. Leslie in
this matter, and if good natured or
ders under the law are disregarded
an example should be made, which
would convince every one that the
quarantine laws were meant for the
good of all, and can and will be en-
forced.

"Where is MOther''

Possibly "Where is Mother"
is the question asked more often
than any other in the English
language. The instant girl or
boy enters the house and mother
is not there, the first question is:
"Where is Mother?" They may
know she is not far distant, yet
there IS keen satisfaction in
knowing exactly where to find
her. The father comes into the
house. He, too, looks and asks:
"Where is mother?' If she hap
pens to come into the room at
that moment he is not surprised
nor does he even want her. He
merely wanted to know where
she was. 1t is no laughing mat
ter when mother leaves home
and remains two weeks on a visit.
She always sits at the head of the
table and when she is visiting
nothing tastes half so good as
when she helped cook it. If she
happens to be i'll the vacant place
at the table looks about as large
as a 1O-acre field to the family.
Every day, every hour, every
minute some urchin is asking:
"Where is mother?' She may
come and smack him for som e
mischief, nevertheless she is the
most valuable article in the
world. Happy indeed are the
boys and girls who ask that
knowing she is somewhere near.

BUILT MANY CENTURIES AGO
Discovery Of Stone Arches In England
10 of Much Interest 60 the
Antiquarian.

The discovery of four substantial
stone arches under the western
facade Of Hampton court palace in
England is arousing great interest.
The discovery was made during ex-
cavations. The arches are 25 feet
long and are parallel with each other
and the palace entrance. It is be-
ieved they were constructed to
bridge the moat which once sur
rounded the palace. The date 1862
is cut on one arch. The space that
was occupied by the moat has long
been filled in. The space covered
by the arches 10 still somewhat
empty.
When the workmen examined the
arches they found a curious forma-
ton on the inner sides, resembling
sticks Of horse radish, but when
broken they showed a perfectly
white interior. They are believed to
consist Of almost pure lime. Their
presence was due to the trickling of
moisture through the lime of the
stone work. Some are only foot
long, but it is estimated that they
took 200 years to form to that e1-
tent.

Rhode Island adopted a constitu-
ton in 1912 which named five capt.
tails for the state, designating New
port, South Kingston, Bristol, East
Greenwich and Providence as the
places for successive honor. In 1854
an amendment restricted the meet
ing places of the general assembly
or legislature to two places New
port and Providence. In 1900 Prov
idence became the only seat Of the
legislature.

THE FINANCE

Johnson was present by invitation
and he presented the matter so clear

forth the confession from at least
one member that the question was NOT
clearly understood when the adverse
report on the application was made up

S24O STOLEN
BY THIEF FROM
LOCAL STUDIO
COMBINATION OF SAFE IN OFFICE
OF TURTON & BELL KNOWN TO
BURGLAR WHO GOT AWAY
WITH COIN IN DRAWER.

Opening the safe with apparent
ease and with thorough knowledge OF
its combination a thief early yester-
day morning succeeded in getting
away with the sum of $24O from the
photograph studio of Turton 4 Bell
located on the east side of Palafox
street between Romano and Inten-
dencia streets. One of the prOprie-
tors has not gotten over wondering
yet where the police could have been,
for he believed that the man must
have worked for some time before fl
nally getting the combination.
The robbery was discovered when
an office boy arrived at the office
about 7:15 O'Clock. The belief is that
the robbery occurred about 3 o'clock
in the morning.
Not a clue is yet in the possession
Of the police, but it is known that
they have been trying to unraveI the
mystery and some examinations have
been made.
The robbery and the successful get
away by a burglar on the principal
street of the city, a short distance
from several all-night business houses
has caused some wonder and the be-
lief is expressed that some person
long in the business had worked the
job.

CABLES Of 4
BIC STEAMER
ARE SNAPPED
THE ASTORIA, MooRED AT PER-
DICo WHARF, SWUNG DANGER
oUSLY WHEN STORM BROKE
OVER HARBOR IN FORENOON.

When the squaI broke over the bay
yesterday, the big Danish steamship
Astoria, which arrived Monday, sud
denly parted her cables and swung
around dangerously, her stern catch
ing on a spit Of land near the dock
where the vessel remained for hours,
BY 1 O'Clock in the afternoon, how
ever, the big vessel was again along
side the dock and more secure cables
were put out in anticipation of an
other blow during the night.
An official acting for marine insUr-
ance agents stated that the vessel
suffered no harm, and that, outside of
the fact that the Astoria was turned
end for end at the dock, nothing out
of the ordinary was to be seen.
The vessel swung from the stern
away from the wharf and was in dan
ger of backing on a pile of rocks
which is in that vicinity. 1t was lucky
that a good head of steam was on,
for it saved the ship the necessity OF
calling for assistance
Beyond the interest and small eX-
citement incident to the placing of
the ship back into a secure berth and
position, there was no other harm
done by the squat at that time. Later
in the day a lighter loaded with IUm-
Der, which had sprung a leak during
the blow. sank quite near where the
steamer was warping herself to a
place Of safety

4 VELOCITY Of
81 MILES HOUR
WAS ACCOMPANIED BY LIGHT
MING AND HEAVY RAIN, THE
FORMER DOING CONSIDERABLE
DAMAGE, THE OSCEOLA CLUB
BEING AMONG THE BUILDINGS
STRUCK. 8 - zrge

Reaching a velocity of 62 miles an
hour from the south, and accompanied
by a severe electrical storm and a
dOWnpOuT Of rain, Pensacola was Wis
tied yesterday by a storm which did
considerable damage in the city.
The OsceOla Club was among the
buildings struck one of the chimneys
on the east side Of the building being
demolished, the tile roofing damaged
and a CRATE in the paTlOr on the first
floor knocked out. Plastering in the
parlor was also torn down and scat
tered about the place. Two gentle
men in an adjoining room at the time
thought the lightning was playing
about them and did some active
stunts in endeavoring to elude it.
The full force of the storm struck
the city at 1875 o'clock. According to
the weather bureau the rainfall for
the day was 129 inches.
The barometer at the office was low
during the entire day, the reading
never being above 29.70.

WEATHER MADE
ALL CAREFUL
THE FISHING FLEET AND SMALL
CRAFT LAST NIGHT TOOK PRE-
CAUTIONS FOR SAFETY IN CASE
OF SUDDEN SQUALLS.

Unsettled weather conditions cauS-
ed precautions to have been observed
by the fishing fleet and all small
craft early last night. Those smacks
which were at the docks and could
get away conveniently sought deep
water anchorage, where plenty or
sea room would give them the ad-
vantage of using long anchor cables
and allow them plenty of swing with
the waters. There was no storm
warning displayed, and the barOme-
ter stood at what might be called
stationary or normal. 1t fell but few
degrees during the heavy weather OF
yesterday and remained above 29 all
evening. With all that. however, and
in the absence of even a warning sig
nal from the weather bureau pTecau-
t1oDs we're observed in many in
stances.
During the afternoon a messenger
from the weather bureau made his
appearance on the docks with a bunch
of copies of a warning message which
had been issued by the local bureau
at 3:15 o'clock. The notices tackled
at prominent places were closely
read, and individual representations

The scenes and sounds of activity

ney, Sr.. who at that time also own
ed and operated a large saw mill az
Carney The DOIive mill as operated
by Mr.. Carney was regarded at that
time as a big mill, but a great many
additions have been made TO it
since. In 1898 Mr.. Carney sold the
business to n. J. D. Hand, and the
business from that time since has
borne the name of the Hand Lumber
company.
In 1902 the business was bought
from Mr.. Hand by a corporation at
Marion. Ind. M5ssTs. Barley and
others. This last concern has Operat-

by those who are in a position TO
know that they have made money
with the business.

When the panic came on two years
ago the Hand Lumber company pTid-
ed themselves on keeping wages up
and they were the last 10 cut wages

The capacity of the mill has been
estimated to be about 10000 feet
daily. They used railroad with

For some time they have been run

their spur near the fair grounds to
point about twenty miles down the

GateswOod. Their longest haul was
about forty miles
The company has torn up all its
railroad tracks and is selling off its

will be seen that an effort will be
made to close out all which remains
