The UNEQUAL growth OF this city IN the
last five years Is shown In the feoerai
census returns for the various Assembly
districts The smallest district to-day Is
the 1st in Brooklyn. which has only 5O.-
OH inhabitants. The largest is the I'D
in Brooklyn, which has 1866. The
two extremes in Manhattan are the
18th. with 20, 900. and the 23d. with 49,
: 100 Yet all the districts were cut out
I five years ago so as to include, roughly
speaking, about the same number OF
residents.

LITTLE MEN GREAT;
 BIC MEN SELDOM  Peculiar Fact of History Is That Great Men Are
 Little

Although there is absolutely no rela- Con between brains and stature, it is . cherished dea that aIi great men must have been big fellows. physically as well as mentally. and 1t Is q shock to every schooiboy when he discovers that Alexander the Great was a little chap of his own size. AS a matter of fact. nearly all the worlds mentally hig men were physically small
 Confucsus was a man of middle height. Socrates was stumpy, also St Paul. and Alexander the Great great only as a warrior. In stature both he Philip of Macedon. scarcely reached middle height
 In this regard we may rank them with the famous Spartan general Agesilaus; with Attila. the ''Scourge of God"-broad shouldered. thick set, sinewy. short; with Theodoric H., king of the Goths. of whom CassidOrus writes.

The Mandarin's Robe.

The aufbor of "Recollections Of a Society Clairvoyant' tells of the case of lady who was haunted by reason of a garment she wore. IL was a mandarin's robe from China. stated 10 be part of the loot from the sacK of Picking. The owner. who lived in a fat in a London suburb. first began to be alarmed by "a smell of decom- position in her bedroom and heard ''stealthy footsteps padding along the tiny passage in and out of the sit ting room" She changed her house. but the obsession continued. The dreadful smell recurred. her cats died ip great agony from some unknown cause. and uncanny footsteps were heard at night. According 10 the clairvoyant's diagnosis. the robe had belonged to "a man who had worn if when be engaged in the mystic forms of ceremonial magic known 70 the Chinese. He hnd met with a violent death. and certain malignant forces were still imprisoned in bis robe. which. from the bloOdstaIns on if. he must have been wearing when be was killed" The curse was eventually dispelled by the robe being burned

'.I SAW THE AGENT LOOKING AFTER AfR-" a dead Confederate soldier he'd seen in the woods, and asked him to get me his clothes. They were nothing but butternut, but there was a brass belt buckle and some other things with C. S. A. on them, and that served me as well as a uniform.
 ~I started to travel nights and lie hid among the niggers in daytime. In the morning after starting. when the dawn was breaking and was looking about for a retiring place. I came upon railroad station. A locomotive was standing on a side track coupled to two or three empty freight cars. The fire was burning low and there was some steam on. judged that the en- gineer and fireman had arrived not long before and turned in either in the station or in one of two or three houses that were scattered about.
 'I lived near a railroad yard as a boy and used to get the engineers to let ne run with them, sometimes fir ing for them; so l knew something about a locomotive. got up into the cab, opened the furnace door and saw that the fire was nearly out. l calcu- lated the possibility of getting a ride northward on the machine. but I'd have to fire up before trying it. was pretty desperate and ready for any risk.

I worked half an hour at this, and concluded that whoever was running that engine must be pretty sleepy. for no one appeared to inter- fere with me. l should have raked out the ashes. but I didn't dare do that, for the noise it would make. Pretty soon the steam began to make noise escaping. and I didn't dare defer my derarture any longer. uncoupled the box cars. mounted the cab and made as noiseless a start as possible.
 My heart was beating wildly. keep ! ing my eye Co the rear. but when came to a turn around a rise in the ground without seeing any one behind me gathered courage and let her go. I got over some five miles in about ! fifteen minutes. when I stopped and. taking a file from a tool box in the cab. climbed telegraph pole and cut ! the wires. This was to keep any one from heading me of.
 { Considering that I wore butternut

Stories about the war between the states are getting scarce-that is. sto- ries told by men who enacted the erans used to meet and swap yarns by the dozens-all true too. But now they are too old to get together very often and when they do they find their memories are so defective that it is difficult for them to get through con tinuOus narrative. They mix up dates and places and armies so that 1t spoils the story.
 A veteran whose hair was white as snow, whose cheeks were hollow, told me this story. It was difficult for me to realize that he was the same man who as a boz nearly half a century ago took part in the adventure be narrated.

A Great
Discovery
Certain Ingredients That Real
lY Promote Hair Growth
When Properly
Combined.

Resorcin is one of the most
effective germ destroyers ever
discovered by science, ana in
connection with Beta Napthol.
which is both germicidal and
antiseptic, a combination is
formed which destroys the
germs which rob the hair of it's
natural nourishment. and also
creates q clean, healthy con
dition of the scalp, which
prevents the development of
new germs.
Pilocarpin, although not a
colOring matter or dye, is Il
well known ingredient for re-
storing the hair to its natural
color, when the loss of hair has
been caused by a disease of the
scalp.
These ingredients in proper
combination, with alcohol ad-
ded as n stimulant and for it's
well-defined nourishing proper
ties, perfect perhaps the most
effective remedy that is known
for scalp and hair troubles.
We have a remedy which is
chiefly composed of these in
gradients, in combination with
other extremely Invaluable
medicinal agents. We guaran-
tee it to positively cure dand-
ruff and to grow hair, even
though the scalp in spots ia
bare 4of hair, If there is any
vitality left in the roots, it will
positively cure badness, or we
. will refund your money. 1t the
