ARE MICROBES IN YOUR SCALP
II Has Ben Proved That Microbes
Cause Badness.

Professor Unna of Hamburg, Ger
many, and Dr.. Sabourand, the lead
ing French dertmatologist, discover
ed tha a microbe causes badness.
Their theory has time and again
been amply verified through reserch
experiments carried on under the OBJ
servation of eminent scientists. This
microbe lodges in the Sebum, which
is the natural hair oil, and when
permitted to flourish destroys the
hair follicles and in time the pores
takes on a shiny appearance. When
entirely close, and the scalp gradually
this happens there is no hope of the
growth of hair being revived.
We have remedy which will, we
honestly believe, remove dandruff, en-
terminate the microbe, promote good
circulation in the scalp and around
the hair roots, tighten and revitolize
the hair roots, and overcome badness
So long as there is any life left in the
hair roots.
We back up this statement with our
own personal guarantee that this rem
edy called Rexall "93" Hair Tonic will
be supplied free Of ALL cost to the
user of it fails to do as wee state.

HORN DINNER GALL
London's Oldest Custom Relic OF
Crusaders.
Benehers, Barrlsters and Students
Summoned by Ancient Method
Recalls Days When Clocks
and Watches Were Un-
known.

London.-Nowhere do old customs
cling more firmly than In the ancient
seat of legal learning, the Middle
Temple, London, which still jealousy
guards the traditions 1t has inherited.
To the present-day benchers, bar
risters and students are summoned to
dinner each evening during term time
by the blowing of a horn-a custom
which has survived on this spot since
the romantic days Of the crusaders.
Every evening at $50 during the three
weeks of the legal terms, a warder,
in gold-braided uniform, procures the
OK horn from the strong room Of the
Middle Temple, and proceeding to the
famous fountain in Fountain court,
summons the members to dinner by
blowing a blast on this primitive in
strument.
He then visits each court in turn,
according to ancient custom, and
many bencher throws up his window
to listen to the sound Of the winding
horn, which has been heard continu-
ously in these precincts since the time
when the Knights Templar established
themselves there in 1854.
Its use recalls the days when clocks
and watches were unknown, and the
voice Of the watchman, calling out
the time, was familiar sound through
the night watches. Sun dials were
then the only guides the people pos
sessed as to the flight Of time, and
of these more than one still survives,

with its quaint motto, on the walls
of the Temple buildings. 1t Is to the
sworn enemies of the Knights Tenn
plar, the Saracens, oddly enough, that
as we do, indeed, the greater part or
our mathematical knowledge as well.
When the Templars founded their
new monastery between Whitefriars
and Essex house in the Strand, the
latter was, as Its name implies, merely
a beach beside the silver Thames, and
all around was open country, the site
Of the present law courts being large
field which was used as fitting
ground by the knights. In later days,
when the men Of law had taken over
the settlement Of the Knights Tenn
plar, the students, who were resident
in the Temple, were dependent on Its
kitchen for their daily meals. After a
hurried breakfast in the buttery at
eight o'clock they would take their
law books, and wander off along the
Strand, where, in summer time, they
lay under the trees and bushes study
ing law. Some would row across the
river to the Surrey fields, and wander
through the open country.
Half an hour before dinner the pam
yer man, who drew the daily supply
OF bread every morning from West
minister, used to take large OK horn
and walk along the rivers rde, blow
ing the horn as O signal to the stu
dents to return to the temple for
dinner.
The panyer man, who was formerly
charged with the duty Of winding the
horn, had also to provide the hall with
mustard, pepper and vinegar, his an
nual wages in 1888 amounting to s26.
Other useful members Of the staff
were the chief wash pot and the under
wash pot, the chief turn broach, the
stewards servant and under turn spit;
the last named receiving Sc year.
The horn now in use in the Middle
Temple possesses no antiquarian in
terest in itself, dating back only some
ten years. 1t was brought over from
the Argentine by one Of the members
shortly before it was found necessary
to discontinue the use Of the old one.
"Ye horn Of ye Middle Temple" had
become SO decrepit, through age and

constant use, that the weird and fancy
sounds It emitted were calculated to
bring It into ridicule.- It had become
a mass Of silver bands, which had
been added from time to time to keep
It together, and close up the cracks in
its sides. But in spite Of these bands
the air still escaped so freely that the
warder who blew 1t had to place wet
handkerchief over the horn every
time he used 1t.
So the ancient hvrn, which had
sounded the welcome supmons to din
ner in term for generations, was
placed on the retired list, and now 1t
only sees the light on grand nights In
hall, when 1t is placed on the table

OLD CHINESE ROLLS FOUND
Of Manuscripts on Silk Dis.
g. fred In Grottos by a
French Explorer.

Paul Pelliot, the young French ex'
plorer of Chinese Turkestan, found IN
caverns at Tuan-Huang silk rolls
which are Chinese manuscripts, some
Of them embroidered by artists who
seem to have stepped out Of "The
Arabian Nights" These rolls have
been immured in these grottos for
nine hundred years, and when de-
ciphered and translated will tell the
story of a civilization that flourished
over a thousand years ago and is
dead.
The explorer brought back five thou
sand rolls; but as there are five hun
dred grottos, he believes many more
libraries will be found.
In the last few years archaeologists
at work in the Mediterranean island
Of Crete have unearthed ruins and pot
terry which prove that civilized people
inhabited Greece as far back as the
year $500 B. C. The system Of drain
age in the prehistoric city Of Gnossus,
in Crete, is more sanitary than any
found in any historic age anywhere on
earth until the nineteenth century.
The life of the human race upon
this planet is being traced further and
further back. The earliest known
civilization is being found to have
been preceded by one still earlier.

OLD GAME IS WORKED AGAIN
Confidence Men in Paris Substituted
a String Of Imitation Pearls for
Good Ones.

A Paris dealer in precious stones,
M. Lagnel, was the victim OF an au-
dacious theft perpetrated by means or

few weeks ago M. Lagnel made the
acquaintance Of young man who
called himself Sognier. He was anx-
ious to act as agent for M. Lagnel,
and declared that he would be able to
introduce wealthy. clients.
A few days ago Sognier introduced
to M. Lagnel a wealthy friend" OF
his, whom he called M. Chevalier OF
Clermont-Ferrand, who desired to buy
a pearl necklace for his wife. The two
men called at M. Lagnel's office In the
Rue du Temple, and M. Chevalier Sc
lected a necklace valued at $4,000.
When about to pay he found that he
had left his purse at his hotel. In Or
der to be sure that the necklace would
not be exchanged for another while he
was absent in search Of the money,
Chevalier asked II it could be placed
In a sealed envelope. This was done,
and Chevalier and his friend disap-
peared.
AS they failed to return, the jeweler
made inquiries, but could find no trace
Of them. He then opened the sealed
envelope and found 1t contained imita-
ton pearls worth but few francs.
The thieves had cleverly substituted
a second envelope for the one contain

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
HUNTING A SHORT CUT TO
CHINA.
By A. w. MACY.

Columbus was not seeking a
continent, but a short cut to
India and China. During his
second voyage he sklrted tho
coast of Cuba for several weeks
in the confident belief that he
was nearing "the City Of Ca
thay" with all It's golden treas
ures. For more than two cen.
turtles after his death navlga.
tors sailed up and down tho
eastern coast Of North America
seeking a passage that would
lead them to China. They did
not realize that America was
a vast continent In Itself.
jacques Cartier, a French ex'
pIorer, circumnavisated tho
Gulf of st. Lawrence three
times, following the coast line'
searching for a passage to tho
Orient. He ascended tho st.
Lawrence river as far as tho
present site of Quebec, but no
little dreamed that nearly 5000
miles of solid land yet lay to
west of him, and beyond that
the greatest ocean on the globe
And for a hundred years after
Cartier died his successors con-
tlnued to search for a passage
to tho west In connection with

SEEKING ROOSEVELT NAMES
Doctor Says Signatures Sell at
Two for a Quarter.

According to DR.. NJ. 3. Parounagian, OF
No 1873 East Doth street he was called
to his doorstep yesterday afternoon by
ring of the bell, to face a we'll dressed
young man who craved few minutes OF
the physicians time. The visitor drew
from his pocket printed paper bearing
a list of names and asked DR.. Parouna-
gian to affix his signature TO the docu-
ment
The physician was curious as TO the
nature Of the paper and asked the man
whom he represented According to the
physician, his visitor said he was from
Republican headquarters and that he was
getting signatures for the nomination Of
delegates TO the national convention.
DR. Parounagian states that he happened
to catch a glimpse of the paper and rec
ognized the emblem of the Roosevelt
nomnators at the top. He then accused
the man OF lying 10 him, and the solicitor
OF names admitted he was from the
Roosevelt headquarters according to DR..
Parounagian.
Please sign your name. anyway, doc
tor, because it will help me. | get l21s
cents for every signature I get, the
man said, according TO the physician.
DR.. Parounagian voiced his ndigna-
ton at this. and says the solicitor then
told him that "he had plenty Of names
already, but only wanted the cash bonus
for extra names
While the man was still arguing with
DR.. Parounagian, the physician showed
him the door and told him not to come
back again. He was still indignant last
night when telling of his experience.
