Birds as Gem Finders.

Attracted by the glitter, many a
hen has picked up a diamond lost
from ring, and it is well-known
fact that crows will take big risks of
losing their heads in order to steal a
gold thimble or shining locket.
A young woman Of Newburg, N. Y,
Miss Sophie Alexander, not long ago
lost the solitaire from her engage
ment ring. Hunts were made, re.
wards offered and suspected servants
put through the third degree. Finally
time eased her grief. And then a
pigeon, a pet of the family, died. Miss
Alexander had the birds body mount.
ed by a taxidermist, and 10! in the
pigeons crop was. the solitaire.
In Lakewood little time ago a man
saw one of his hens choking over a
string that hung from it's beak. He
went to the aid Of his egg supply and
found the "string" was thin gold
chain. On the end of it was beau
tiful shiny pebble that Mrs. Hen had
swallowed to aid digestion. In conse.
quence, a certain society woman re-
covered her diamond lavalliere lost
at a dance.

Principal Happ enin8s Of the Week
in the Scandl naVian Countries.

The vegetarian society of Gothen.
burg has decided to organize society
for combating compulsory vaccipa-
ton.
The Swedish Society for the Ad-
vancement of Open Air Life and Care
OF the Body" has just been organized.
The society proposes to start a period
ical and to publish pamphlets.
A giant oak was felled the other day
on the Kvarn island, below Soderfors,
in the Dial river. Four feet from the
ground it was five feet in diameter,
and it was found to be $50 year old.
Three boys at Why went to the
woods one day to pick pine cones for
seed. All of sudden the smallest fel-
low yelled to the other, "Say, here is
fox!" The others ran to the place.
There could be no mistake about it, it
was fox. They felt at the animal.
He was dead, but still warm. A wound
told the story. Put him into the
Dag" said the fellow who had found
the fox. Can we risk that?" asked
the oldest boy. "Of course" said the
little fellow "for we found him on
grandfather's land" The pine cones
were dumped out of the bag and the
tox put into it, and they started for
home on a sort of triumphal march.
The next day the fox was sold for
$500, and now each of the three boys
has the sum Of one dollar deposited in
the Why savings bank.

ARE MICROBES IN YOUR SCALP?
Il Has Been Proved That Microbes
Cause Badness.

Il Has Been Proved That Microbes
Cause Badness.
Professor Unna Of Hamburg, Ger.
many, and DR.. Sabourand, the leading
French dermatologist, discovered that
micrObe causes badness. Their
theory has time and again been amply
verified through research experiments
carried on under the observation OF
eminent scientists. This microbe
lodges in the Sebum, which is the nat
ural hair oil. and when permitted to
flourish it destroys the hair follicles
and in time the pores entirely close
and the scalp gradually takes on a
shiny appearance. When this happens
there is no hope of the growth of hair
being revived.
We have remedy which will, we
honestly believe, remove dandruff, ex.
terminate the microbe, promote good
circulation in the scalp and around the
hair roots, tighten and revitallze the
hair roots. and overcome badness, sc
long as there is any life left in the hair
roots.

TALKS AGAINST SALOON.
Prohibitionist Chairman Urges That
Legal Protection Be Removed

There was fair-sized audience at
the Calumet theater yesterday after
noon of Prohibitionists and others to
listen to an address by w A. Bru-
baker, state chairman of the Prohibi-
ton party. The meeting was presided
over by Rev. c. NJ. Merrill pastor of
the Tamarack NJ. t. church. During
the afternoon selections were rem
dered by mixed quartette.
Mr.. Brubaker proved himself a, clear
and forceful talker, and emphasized his
statements with arguments that were
convincing from a Prohibitionist view.
Mr.. Brubaker's main argument was
that the saloon business was entrench-
ed behind law barriers. and that Il was
q legal institution. "As one of the
greatest evils of our day. the saloon
has no right to that protection" said
Mr.. Br-ubaker. The speaker argued
that the only remedy was TO remove
the saloons legal protection. and urged
sending TO the legislature men pledg-
cd To charge the liquor laws.
Mr.. Brubaker conducted service al
the Calumet VI. T.. church yesterday
morning, and in the evening filled the
pulpit at the Houghton NJ. Il. church.
He left last night for Iron River. where
