MEET IN CONGRESS AT ROME
international Gathering of Foes OF
tuberculosis to Be Held Late
In September.

Official announcement of the Sew
enth international Congress on Tu
~berculosis, which will include repre-
sentatives from every civilized coun.
try in the world, has been made by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention Of tuberculosis. The
congress will be held in Rome from
September "a to 30, 1911, and will be
similar in many respects to that held
in Washington in the fall of 1908.
The congress, which meets every
three years, will be under the direct
patronage of the king and queen Of
Italy.
An American committee of 100 will
be appointed as the official represen-
tatives of the United States. Mean.
while the National Association for the
Study and Prevention Of tuberculosis
is acting in that capacity and its office
in New York will be the headquarters
for the United States delegation. The
secretary general Of the congress is
Prof. Vittorio Ascot Of Rome.
AS a direct result Of the stimulus OF
the last international congress held In
this country, the American committee
will be able to report that the number
Of tuberculosis agencies in this coun
try have been tripled in the three
years. More than twice as much
money is being spent in the fight
against tuberculosis by private socie'
ties and institutions, and the appropri
atoms Of federal, state, municipal and
county have increased nearly four
fold. It is estimated that nearly SIS.
900, 900 will be spent in anti-tuberculo
sis work in 1910.

A BoticeIii Headdress.

There is a headdress affected by
women of regular features and small,
thin faces. This is a kind of Italian
couture founded probably in the Bot
ticelli scheme. All the hair on the
crown of the head is rolled up to form
a chignon that stands out a long way
from the head in a direct line with the
nose, says Hairdressers' Journal. II
he hair is not sufficient to make a
firm. thick chignon, a "crepon" Is
wound in it or a thick pad of some
sort. The arrangement must be very
neat, the hair being brushed upward
and standing out well. The top and
sides are treated separately with q
parting, either on top or at the side,
while the hair is, besides, lightly pulled
out over the ears. Those who like
the wave apply the iron to this part,
SO as to produce deep, soft undula,
tons, which bring an effect of light
and shade into the scheme.

WARNING THAT WAS FAMILIAR

Mrs. Jones' favorite warning to her

Harry was four years old he was sent

mother.

"Oh, he won't hurt you," treasured
Mrs. Jones. Run along and bring the
onions. I'm in a hurry for them"
A second time Harry disappeared
round the corner, and a second time
returned without his purchase.

explained, as before.
"Well, what makes you afraid OF
him?" demanded his mother, impa-

wha. Alaskan Indians Smoke.

Seattle, Wash.-How would you en-.
10y a pipeful of wood shavings satur-
ated with a strong solution of pepper
as an after dinner smoke? This is
the strange substitute used for tobac'
co by Indians along the Alaska coast.
Their mouths are often made raw by
the practise, and the eyesight of many
is affected by the strong fumes.
1t is no uncommon practise among
farmers to smoke the leaves of the to.
mato and potato plants. While both
these plants contain a narcotic poison.
the smoking of leaves In moderation
is harmless. Excessive use, though.
produces a heavy stupor, from which
the smoker awakes with a terrific
headache and a feeling Of utter ex
haustion. Insanity and suicide have
often been caused by the immoderate
use Of these two weeds. Rhubarb,

all smoked by farmers, but are per.

Maria Theresa a hundred and fifty

ocean to the polar sea. The tribute of
a thousand tribes and the homage of
seven-and-twenty conquered nations

glory has departed and for five centu-

All the imposing structures that
once gave Samarkand its reputation as
the finest city in Asia have either dis
appeared or are in an advanced stage
Of decay and dilapidation. They have
been almost entirely stripped of the
adornments that made them famous,
and the earthquakes that occur every
few years diminish the number OF tur-
quoise and azure domes and the dimen-
sions of the enameled walls, and In
crease the heaps of debris which now
cover the ground. No effort has been
made by the government or the priests
or the people to restore or eve to ar
rest the ravages Of time or to protect
or preserve the architectural monu-
ments that have stood here for ages
against the vandals, the earthquakes
and other destructive agencies that
have made Samarkand a wreck Of its
former fnagnificence.
