BOOZE BRINGS JOY
AND ALSO A FIGHT
August Devloming Arrested Last
Night and With Another Is
Fined This Morning.

81 was awfully happy" said
August Devloming this morning in
police court when asked to account
for his actions of last night when
he created a disturbance on Twenty
third street and Third avenue and
for which he was arrested by Cap
tain Reynolds and Officer Kinney.
August had been drinking and had
been in a fight, too, not unusual
circumstance for man who drinks.
Leon Leppius and another fellow
had tapped him on the face with
their fists and possibly the oblivion
into which he was reduced by the
blows was the cause of his exuber-
ance of feeling.
He pointed out two men to the
officers last night as his assailants
and they were arrested. This morn.
ing August identified Leppius as one
of the men who had hit him and
the other was released. Devloming
and Leppius were each fined SO and
costs for disorderly conduct.

ENVY HER LOVELY HARP

When you see a woman who uses
this dry shampoo to dress her hair
instead of soap, water, soda and the
like you are almost certain to wit
ness the looks of admiration and
envy which other women and girls
cast at her.
The following home made dry
shampoo certainly works wonders in
a short time on a frowsy, stringy,
oily, dirty head of hair, be it man
or woman:
Just mix two ounces of antiseptic
vilane powder with six ounces of
powdered orris root. Apply a table
spoonful and distribute through the
hair with the fingers. Permit to re-
main several hours or over night and
the brush and comb out all traces of
it. The hair becomes beautifully
lustrous, fluffy and clean looking, Of

THE PARTHENON.
t Was tho Most Beautiful Edifies
Ever Erected by Man.

The ParthenOn OH the Acr0polis at
Athens, the most beautiful editice ever
erected by the hand OF man, was
wrecked by Venetian bomb on Sept.
2G, 1857.
When the sun rose on the morning Of
that evil day the "hnest building on
the finest size in the world" stood ar
rayed In all It's glory, just as it did
when Perices received it from the
hands Of its divine architects and
builders, just as it did when Plato and
Socrates gaZed with wonder upon its
simple majesty, and when that days
sun went down the glorious temple was
a wreck, its majesty dismantled, its
beauty marred forever
This wonderful building, even in it's
ruins, has charmed the world for 60
ing on three centuries, and while those
ruins endure they will continue their
hold upon the artistic sense of man
kind.
The master artists Of the nations
have been trying for moro than 200
years to make something that would
look like the ParthenOn. but SO far
their efforts have been in vain, and the
disrnantled pile on the AcrOpolis still
wears the crown Of architectural ex-
eellence.
This famous building, made of the
finest Pentelic marble, is 22S feet in
length by 101 feet in width with
height at the apex Of the pediment Of
sixty-five feet. It's cost was $S,25O, 900,
reckoned in preser day values. The
renowned frieze CT the Parthenon ran
along the top Of the wall forty feet
from the ground. 1t was three and
half feet In height and 500 feet in
length and represented the great Pan
athenic procession, which was held
every five years in honor Of Athena,
the protecting goddess Of the city.
For 1000 years this glorious temple
stood there on the Acropolls as perfect
as 1t was when Phidias completed it
nearly 500 years before the birth Of
Christ, and 1t would have been stand
ing just as complete today but for that
rascally Venetian shell. In the year
mentioned above Athens, still in the
possession Of the Turks, was besieged
by the Venetians, and bomb from
one Of their guns falling through the
roof Of the Parthenon, in which the
Turks had stored lot Of powder, left
1t the ruin it has ever since remained.

Tho Cleanliness of Animals.

Man seems to be the only animal
whose food soils him, making neces-
sary much washing and shieldlike bibs
and napkins. MOles living in the earth
and eating Shiny worms are yet as
clean as seals or fishes, whose lives are
one perpetual wash. The squirrels in
these resiny woods keep themselves
clean In some mysterious way; not a
hair is sticky, though they handle the
gummy cones and glide about appar.
emily without care. The birds, too, are
clean, though they seem to make a
good deal Of fuss washing ard clean-
ing their feathers.-FrOm ~ First
