IT is CRIMINAL TO NEGLECT
THE SKIN AND HAIR

Think OF the suffering entailed by
neglected skin troubles-mental be
cause Of disnguration, physical be-
cause OF pain. Think OF the pleasure
Of a clear skin. soft, white hands, and
good hair. These blessings, so essen
lial to happiness and even success in
life, are often only a matter Of a little
thoughtful care IN the selection Of
effective remedial agents. Cuicura
Soap and Ointment do so much for
poor compilations, red, rough hands,
and dry, thin and falling hair. and cost
so little, that It is almost criminal not
to use them. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold everywhere. a
postal to "Cuticura," Dept L, Bos-
ton, will secure a liberal sample Of
each, with 32-page booklet on skin
and scalp treatment.

companled by the whole congress OF
1s40. gathered IN ghostly conclave. He
is also credited with roaming about
all parts OF the capitol and may be
seen at almost any time.
There is also the story OF Gen. Lo-
gan, who returns, II is said, TO OBJ
serve the dolngs Of the committee on
military affairs OF which he was 30
long the chairman. Those. who claim
TO have encountered the general, say
that he always wears a black slouoh
hat and remains either in the commit
tee room OF in the corridor adjoining.
Vice-President Wilson, who died in
his room In the senate wing, is also
recorded as a constant wanderer about
the scene OF his death.
The demon cat legend has been re-
peated for the last 90 years as the
animal apparltlon which returns at ir-

ordinary Tabby at first sight, but

tor, but invariably leaps quite over

GHOSTS OF THE CAPITOL

When the body of President Garfield
lay in state in the capitol, an old en-
gineer who was employed in the base
ment, and who ridiculed the idea Of
ghosts, decided to be revenged upon
the watchmen and policemen who re-
mained in the building through the
night He procured two large Eng
lish walnuts and securely tied the half
shells to the four feet Of pet cat and
carefully turned her loose in Statuary
hall. The noise of those shells on the
marble floor at midnight, in the semi
darkness as the distracted cat scam
pered about trying to get rid Of her
new shoes, gave the watchers the
fright of their lives. This incident,
though harmless joke, gave rise to
the story Of the spectral footsteps
which follow all those who have to
cross the rotunda in Statuary hall
after the building is closed for the
night.
The rotunda has it's own especial
haunt. The prevailing belief in re-
gard to this particular haunt is that
on certain days, presumably anniVer-
saries, the bent and huddled up figure
Of a workman with his tools may be
seen fitting through the section. The
foundation for this idea doubtless
arose from the account Of the death
of a workman which occurred there
during the early days Of the construc-
ton of the capitol. He lost his foot
ing upon a scaffold and was killed by
the fall to the floor

More Men Than Women.

The total population Of the world
is now estimated at 1,700,000,000 This
is based upon the most recent cen
suses, which all civilized countries
now take, with a careful estimate Of
the number of inhabitants of unciVil-
ized lands.
The proportion OF the sexes is
known for 1,O3S, 100000 Of these, the
ratio being 1000 males to 900 fe
males. The ratio varies considerably
in different places. In Europe there
are 1000 men to 1,O27 women; in AT.
lea, 1000 men to 1,045 women; in
America 1000 men to 964 women, in
Asia 1000 men to 961 women; in
Australia, 1000 men to 937 women.
The highest importation of women
is found in Uganda, where there are
1,467 to every 1000 men. The low.
est proportion is in Alaska and the
Malay States, where there are, in the
former 391, and in the latter 3S9

Her father glanced quickly at her

better to let her throw herself away
on a worthless scamp than?
Elsies laugh interrupted his
thoughts. He breathed a sigh Of re-
lief. 1t was the old-time spontaneous
laugh that he had longed for.

roses-here," she told him, laying a
finger on her pale cheeks. "and there
is nothing in the world like carrots"

POISONED BY PENNIES

An extraordinary story was told,
recently, at an inquest held In East
Ham (London) on the body of young
employe Of local gas company,
whose duty 1t was to collect coppers
from the penny-in-the-slot gas me-
ters. For the past month he had been
in Ill health, and was under the care
of a physician who expressed the
opinion that he was suffering from
metallic poisoning in some form. The
victim told the doctor that he called
at a hundred houses day collecting
coins, which were very often green.
and when he had done collecting his
hands were often green. The doctor
stated that the deceased had long,
fair mustache, which he curled with
his fingers, and by doing this had alb
sorbed the verdigris

HOUSES MADE OF COTTON

Houses are now made abroad of
green Egyptian cotton. The debris of
the fields, the sweepings of factories,
in fact, everything that was formerly
rejected as waste, is mixed into a
paste. and in short time becomes as
hard as stone. The soft mixture is
placed in plates and fred. 1t is then
coated with a waterproof varnish. A
house constructed of this cotton con-
crete is flreproof, perfectly solid. and
costs about one-third the amount Of
buildings made Of brick Experiments
with the new materials are most con-
vincing.

FLAMES LEAP FROM THE SEA

Strollers along the esplanade at
Oban, Argylshire, the other night were
met by an unwonted spectacle. Op-
posite the Alexandra hotel, great
tongues Of white flames were seen
leaping straight out of the sea not far
from the beach. The phenomenon con-
tinued for about an hour, and drew
a large crowd of onlookers, who spec
ulated freely as to the cause. Stones
were thrown in upon the flames, but
had no effect. No conclusive solu-
tion OF the mystery could be offered,
but It is explained that the apparently
strange occurrence was due to a guam
tity of hydro-carbon, which had been
thrown into the sea.

John Dillon had loved and wood
Enid Vance. not so much from the
finer workings Of the masculine heart
toward the feminine as for other mo-
lives. He had selected Enid as a
Citing mate. Her cheeks we're Grim
son with the vigor OF health and her
step elastic. To associate her with
the rearing Of anything but a fine
race OF men was to doubt truth
itself.
With this in view Dillon had pro
posed 10 and been rejected by Enid
she having chosen to bestow her hand
and heart upon the less serious minded
Billy Langhorn.
The week following the blasting OF
his hopes found Dillon escaping INTO
the country where he wanted to ior-
get the vital expression Of Ends eyes
and the crimson Of her lips. Then,
too, his book upon Child Life and
Modern Parentage" would progress the
quicker for the seclusion OF the coun-
try lanes.
It was in the heart Of the woods,
while he was thus engrossed, that
wan-eyed, anemic, Elsie Lane passed
him by.
John Dillon cast but a fleeting
glance at her; he was in no way In
terested in girls since Enid had turned
him down, and least of all would care
TO rest his eyes upon the dropping,
Hstless figure of Elsie Lane.
The girl, in turn, watched him
with covert scrutiny. Rumor had 1t
that this man was going about the
village expressing more or less unhat-
tering opinions regarding the lack OF
well-balanced, healthy women in the
world.
Elsie had taken these opinions as
personal. Beneath the temporary list
lessness of her manner there was a
something that had caught fire at his
words. Elsie realized that she herself
was wan-eyed and pale, but that was
because her heart was broken and
her life ruined. Hadn't her father re
fused to let her marry Jack Rollins?
Although she was incensed at John
Dillon for his slurring remarks, she
realized that he was a splendid man,
who wa striving to produce a better
