STOVES OF IRON.
They Superseded the Roman Stuba In
the Eighteenth Century.

They Superseded the Roman Stuba In
the Eighteenth Century.
A heating apparatus called "stuba"
(stove) was widely used among the
higher class Of Romans before the be-
ginning of the Christian era. This
class of heaters was fixed and immova
bile, besides being in several other re-
spects wholly different from the mod
ern stove. In Germany and Scandina-
via they were used in bathrooms and
lighthouses during the middle ages.
They were usually constructed of brick,
stone or tile and were Of immense size.
They sometimes covered the whole
side of twenty or thirty foot room
and often extended out into the room
us much as ten feet, in which case the
smooth, fat top was used for a bed
stead. the heated surface imparting an
agreeable feeling of warmth during
those cold nights of long ago when
such things as covers were quite rare.
Cardinal polignac of France was per-
haps the first to attempt the construc-
ton Of stove wholly Of iron. this at
about the beginning Of the eighteenth
century. The first real improvement
over the old Roman "stuba" was
brought about by Franklin in the year
1745. One of his efforts produced a
typical base burner. almost perfect and
a model of workmanship. Stoves were
not used in private houses to any great
extent prior to the year 1S3O.-London
Standard.

Up to the time we began to civlllze

Of hair brush, especially the public
one, the scalp and hair had plenty OF
ventilation much sunlight and, hence
condition favorable to a luxuriant
growth of hair existed at all times.
1t was the adoption of air and light
excluding head gears and artificial
head decorations generally, together
with the occasional use of commu-
nifty hair brush, which gave the dan
druff germs it's opportunity. Since this
parasite has multiplied to an alarm
ing degree until now there is hardly
person who is not troubled more or
less with dandruff and falling hair.
Many, to be sure, have passed the
worrying stage Having become chron-
ically bald they realize that nothing
is capable of producing natural hair
for them. Let these be warning to
all who are experiencing the signifi-
cant annoyance of dandruff and falling
hair.
Dandruff, which is due to a germ,
and falling hair can both be overcome
by the regular use of Newbro's Herpi-
eide
This wonderful scalp remedy kills
the vicious germ which causes dan
druff, cleanses the scalp and stops the
hair from coming out The destruction
of the germ permits the hair to grow

The Family Bulletin Board.

In large family where the members
go out a great deal family bulletin
board is a convenience. 1t may be of
a sheet Of celluloid. a small blackboard
or large slate with pencil attached
and should be hung in part of the
house where all the members of the
family pass at some time Of the day.
The dining room or the front hall
would be good place to hang It,.
On the bulletin board the family post
notices of regular interest which they
have forgotten to impart at breakfast
or dinner. One days substance ran
like this:
Had a letter from Mary Smith. She
wants Tom to send her the address of
that antique dealer where he bought
the blue pitcher. Sue"

And so it goes. Messages, callers,
telephone calls. neighborhood news, en-
gagements. lost and found articles. are
tabulated here for the benefit of all.
The result is a surprising lessening Of
household friction. Occasionally some
one pastes up squib or joke or bit Of
verse which. the rest of the family will
enjoy. Even the cook and housemaid
use the bulletin board and like the
convenience of it. The board may be

National News Associa tion)

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 9.-The
only General whose service dated back
to the days of the civil war was re-
moved from the active list of the army

this was the sixtyfourth anniversary
of his birth, Brigadier General Daniel
H. Brush was retired from active serv-
Ice. Until recently General Brush
was in command of the Department Of
California, with headquarters at San
francisco. A service Of As years in the

him. fxHM@N
General Brush is a veteran of the
Civil, Indian and Spanish wars. He is
a native of Illinois and served in the
Civil war as a private in the 145th ILL

he received an appointment to West
Point. Upon his graduation from the
military academy in 1867 he was ap-
pointed second lieutenant of the 18th
Infantry. For twenty-three years he
was stationed in the far West, and
took an active part in several Indian
campaigns.
He was with eGn. Stanley in the
Yellowstone expedition in 1872 and
took part in the fight at the mouth of
the Powder river. He commanded a
company of Indian scouts in the Vel
lowstone expedition, under Gen. Gus
ter, in the following year and was in
the fights Of the Yellowstone and
Tongue rivers. n.
When the Spanish war broke out
General Brush, serving as a professor
of military science at the University
of Illinois, applied for leave, and went
to Cuba with the 18th Infantry and
participated in the fight at Ell Caney
and at Santiago. The next year he
went to the Philippines and was in
the field constantly in the operations
against the insurgents, being especial
ly active in the engagements at San
Fernando, in Luzon. He was promit-
ed colonel of the 24th Infantry in. May,
1907, and held that command until
February, 1908, when he was appoint
ed brigadier general.

Making the Cormorants Work.

The cormorants are among the most
interesting and useful birds in the
world. They are employed in the
fishing industry off the coast of Scot
land to a large extent. They are cas-
fly trained to work for their owners,
who place brass ring round each
of their threats so as to prevent the
birds swallowing. They naturally feed
upon fish and soon learn to deposit
what they catch in their owners boats.
They display remarkable cleverness in
time. and good fisher is worth a good
deal of money to a fisherman.
