REDUCED FARE HOURS LONGER
Double Shift at the High School
Makes Some Complications.
COMPANY AGREES TO CHANGE
Tickets Are to BE Accepted Between
1880 in the Morning and
O'clock I'm the Afternoon
on School Days.

Threatened by legislation which would
revise the city ordinances regulating the
hours when tickets held by school children
are acceptable, officials of the street rail
way company agreed to extend the hours
Monday morning.
Congressman Sheldon secured a conces-
sion from the street railway company to
the effect that tickets held by school chill
dren will be accepted by car conductors
between the hours of 1880 in the morning
and in the afternoon.
Previously tickets have been good only
between and 10 in the morning and and
5 In the afternoon. These tickets which
are sold at the rate of thirty for 81, have
been purchased by school children for
years. Little difficulty in getting the con-
ductors to accept the tickets has arisen,
though occasional complaints have been
filed.
But when the double shift program was
decided on for the high school the ticket
question was forced on the officials OF the
company and the holders of the tickets.
The new plan provides that two sessions
will be held in the high school daily, the
morning session ending at 1910 and the
afternoon session beginning at 1880, This
shift necessitates practically the entire at
tendance at the high school riding on the
cars between y and 1.

SAGE FOR DARKENING THE
HAIR.

There Is nothing new about the idea
OF using sage for restoring the color
of the hair. Our great-grandmothers
kept their locks soft, dark and glossy
by using a sage tea" Whenever
their hair fell out or took on a dull,
faded or streaked appearance, they
made a brew OF sage leaves and APP
piled IL to their hair with wonderful
ly beneficial effect.
Nowadays We don't have to resort
TO the old-time, tiresome method OF
gathering the herbs and making the
brew. This Is done by skilltul chem
lists better than we could do 1t our
selves, and all we have TO do Is to call
for the ready-made product. Wyeth's

ty Mayor Dahlman
The two buildings we're completed re-

the council is authorized to apportion $3.50.

bill raises the amount 70 s2s5.O
Dnhlman also states that the police force

fcicncy Of funds In this department Is
also given as the reason for the cut. The

he apportioned for police purposes from
$4,000 to t1s6,OOO
Personally, / do not care whether the
eovernor signs the bill" says Mayor Dahl
man But from the viewpoint of the
public ! will be extremely sorry. We will
necessarily have TO cripple both the fire
and police departments. Every one in the
city knows that these two departments are
handicapped badly ut the present time, but
tho yetoing Of the bill will hurt them still
worse
No other alternative will be the solution.
Under the system o. regular increases our
expenses increase annually. The laws pro-
vide gradual raise in salaries until a GER
tain limit is reached Both departments
Hre running to the limit now. It takes
every cent to maintain them. so the only
way to meet the general increase in ex-
penses. II additional funds are not pro-
vided, will be to decrease both forces. That
ia what we will do.
Many other situations will arise, such
as the collection and disposal OF garbage
and the handicap to street improvements,
but they are not as important as the fire
and police board in my opinion"

STRANGE BoRNEo TRIBE.

There are no more singular people
known than the Punan tribe of Bor-
neo. They dress themselves in bark
and wonder about in the
forests and sleep in trees. They have
no houses and no property except
mere personal possessions which they
by barter. They have the
habit of leaping three or four yards
at a time and their speed is said to
be marvellous. They kill game with
a weapon resembling a blowpipe, not
by the usual method of blowing out
the arrows with the breath, but by
striking the end which contains the
dart with the palm of the hand,

A FORECAST.

Travellers in Italy do not readily
forget "risotto," nor do travellers in
Spain forget "arroz" The principal
ingredient of both dishes is rice, but
it is brown, and brown rice, besides
being delicious, has special healthful
qualities of its own. 1t is brown,
of course, because It is made out Of
whole grain. The tendency. COM
paratively recent in this country, to-
ward bread foods which contain the
rougher parts OF the wheat, or which
are made from other grain, is likely
to be followed some time, we mag
inc, by the extensive use of brown
rice, which at present it is almost
impossible to secure, except by spe-
cial arrangement with importers.-

MIcRoPHoNE VALUABLE.

The French inventor Dienert has,
according to the Scientific Ameri-
can, contrived an application of the
microphone to the discovery of un-
derground water. One end of a tube
is inserted in the ground, the upper
end being attached to the micro
phone. The sounds of flowing or
dropping water are conveyed to the
ear from great depths.
In the Marine valley two springs
were discovered with this apparatus
at a depth Of about fifty feet below
the surface of the ground. It is be-
lieved that the apparatus will be of
great service in mining operations,
both for indicating the location of
concealed springs and for commune
