X-Rays Curl the Hair

~ CIENCE has come to the res

curls, with the discovery that
the loveliest ringlets may be pro-

This unusual discovery came about
in the treatment of children in some
of the London public schools for
scalp trouble. The X-ray was used
and it not only cured the disease, but
curled the hair. Within short time
after the treatments, parents and
teachers noted that something was
the matter with the heads of the
boys and girls. They were alarmed
at first, but later on their fears were
allayed when learned men told them
that the locks of the boys and girls
were merely curly and nothing more.

CHEERFULNESS.

You have just so long to live
in this world; better smile the
days though than to frown them
away. There is nothing that is
easier to bear in cheerfulness than
life. Cheerfulness always puts
song in the mouth; a whistle on
the lips.
"Give us, O give us" says Car
lyle, "the man who sings at his
work. Be his occupation what it
may, he is equal to any of those
who follow the same pusuits in
silent sullenness. He will do more
in the same time-he will do it
better-he will persevere longer,
Cheerfulness will run INCREASED
all day. A sad countenance needs
fabrication every few minutes A
continued state of cheerfulness
shows wise head behind it.
Cheerfulness in the home makes
every house a sanctuary OF JOY.
Cheerfulness at the table makes
every meal feast. Cheerfulness
at our work makes every task
duty. Cheerfulness is health it's
opposite, melancholy, is a disease.
Cheerfulness is the very spirit of
religion. Without it one, like the
spies of old, always brings an evil
report. Pygmies are giants. Hills
are mountains, All streams are
oceans which cannot be bridged.
There is a seriousness in life which
is always cheerful. Cheerfulness
is the sugar which God mixed with
the dust out of which He formed
every human creature. Let's keep
the sugar stirred up.-NeW York

yet it is said that there is not a

blood does flow freely in hundreds
of Negroes, the result of illicit

Rather remarkable story to say

but another application OF you

lax morals Of the white man OF
this country and owing to his in

some of the greatest men the
country has produced flows in
persons of the humblest walks OF
life. To such an extent has this
miscegenation been carried on the
part of the white man with other
races that, when a Southern white
man in a fit of anger informed
rather philosophical old black

the white folk to eliminate all

BLOOD OF YOUR sIREs.

The following story taken from
The Herald is of interest to the
people of this section:
Interesting as an incident sur
rounding the life and death of b.
H. Hartman, the railroad king, is
the fact that a brother of the re-
markable financier once resided
in Snohomish county, serving this
community as county commission
er in the early 70's. This brother,
Charles Hartman, came to the
Northwest in 1857, settling in the
Snoqualmie region, where he WOO
ed and won a dusky maiden, full
blooded Indian girl, and reared a
number of children.
"Some years subsequent to his
residence in the Snoqualmie coun-
try, Charles Hartman, whose
plans in life differed so greatly
from those Of his brother of world
wide reputation, removed with his
family of half-breed children and
his Indian helpmate, to a rough
piece of land not far from Mon
roe, where he remained until
death overlook him and where his
children now reside
can interesting feature in
Charles Hartman s life, probably
the greatest, transpired a few
years ago, when, upon invitation,
he took his oldest girl back to
New York, stopping at the old
Astor House, where, by appoint
ment, he met his even then great
brother, and introduced the dusky
child of his Indian wife.
"Charles Hartman died five
years before the demise Of his eel
ebrated kinsman. With his pass
ing bare word regarding the dis
appearance of a pioneer was spok-
en-, for the world knew him not
even his relationship to b. II
Hartman was known to but few
of his closest friends.
"Will any inconsiderable por-
ton of the Hartman millions fall
to the halfbreed children at Mon
roe?"

There is a lady in the state of
Washington, who from a racial
standpoint is classed a Negress,
but in whose veins courses the
blood of the famous Sam Hous-
ton, who gave to the United
States government the Lone Star

you perhaps would not observe
any of the fighting proclivities Of
her illustrious sire and yet she
always takes care Of herself
whether at home or abroad.
Throughout the West thousands
Of half caste Caucasion-Negro
offsprings, are to be found, who
pass for white, and equally as
many more who pass for black,
though they are white, in whose
veins flows the blood of Uncle

Their sires may be rolling in lux
ury, but none of it is for them, as
will be the fate of the children of
Hartman s brother with his Iu-
