A HARMLESS WAY To
DARKEN THE HAIR
"A Little Sage and Sulphur Makes
Gray Hair Vanish-A Remedy
for All Hair Troubles.

Who does not know the value oil
Sage and Sulphur for keeping the
hair dark, soft and glossy and in
good condition? AS a matter of fact,
Sulphur is a natural element of hair,
and a deficiency of it in the hair is
held by many scalp specialists 20 be
connected with loss of color and
vitality of the hair. Unquestienably,
there is no better remedy for hair
and scalp troubles, especially pre-
mature grayness, than Sage and
Sulphur, if properly prepared.
The Wyeth Chemical Company of
New York put out an ideal. prepara-
ton of this Kind, called Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, in
which Sage and Sulphur are COM
bined with other valuable remedies
for keeping the hair and scalp in
clean, healthy condition.
If your hair is losing it's color or
constantly coming out, or If you are
troubled with dandruff or dry, itchy
scalp, get a fifty cent bottle of
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur from your
druggist, use it according to the
simple directions, and see what a
difference a few days treatment will
make in the appearance of your
hair.
All druggists sell it under guaran-
tee that the money will be refunded
If the remedy is not exactly as repre-
sented.

In explaining his withdrawal from
the United States senatorial race for
the Democratic nomination, in favor of
Judge William Hughes, of Paterson,
former Judge John w. Wescott, OF
Camden, made the following address
last night before a huge audience in
his home city:
Power Now the Peoples.
'EThe people of the United States de-
mand the election of their senators by
a direct vote of the people. The pr1-
mary act of New Jersey, in fact, gives
the people of our state that power. 1t
is advanced legislation, progressive, and
its spirit and purpose are in thorough
conformity with public opinion
throughout the state. Its object is TO
drive boss and machine politics out Of
the state forever. Some 5000 PEOPLE
put me in nomination under the pro-
visions of that law. Judge Hughes YVES
likewise put in nomination.
"On the last day for fling nominal
ing petitions Senator Smith was put in
nomination. He had heretofore de-
clared in the public press that he did
not intend to enter the race. He knew
that Judge Hughes and I would divide
the Democratic vote. He saw his OPP
portunity to restore boss and machine
politics in New Jersey. He saw that he
could defeat the object of the primary
act and the purpose Of the public in
nominating Judge Hughes and me.
GIN course of time it became quite
evident that the influences back of
Senator Smith would enable him to
poll sufficient votes, in all probability,
to defeat either Judge Hughes or NE,
if we both remained candidates. The
situation, therefore, involved two
strong probabilities, one a defeat Of the
aim and purpose Of the primary act;
two, the restoration in New Jersey of
boss and machine politics; that is to
say, nothing short of the domination OF
the legislation and government of New
Jersey by special interests.
Retired From Sonse Of Duty.
GIN this state of affairs 1 went, last
Saturday, impelled by a sense of duty
to the stats and to the cause Of good
to J~osephus Daniels, one Of the Demo-
cratic National Committee in New
York. / discussed the situation with
him at great length. As a result I was
called on Monday to an interview with
Mr.. Daniels, Mr.. McAdoo and Senator
O'Gorman, of the national committee.
Governor Wilson was in the west and
knew nothing Of the conference. We
discussed the matter from all view
points.
cit became quite apparent, from the
evidence brought together, that if both
Judge Hughes and / remained in the
contest the primary act would almost
certainly be defeated, the unfettered
expression of opinion represented by
the nomination of Judge Hughes and
me would be thwarted, machine politics
restored, the Democratic party lose the
legislature and a United States senator
and the AUS of true popular govern
ment be subjected to a serious strain,
If not a vital injury.
"The army of fellow citizens who
put ME in nomination awaited them
in so doing of the provisions of
perhaps the most benefcent act, when
properly construed and applied, ever
put on our statute books. 1t was evil
dent that, were l to remain in the fight
[ might defeat not only the patriotic
wishes of those who nominated me, but

HUGHES A BOOST

might actually prevent a just anu IIuo
annlication of the primary act. 1hele-
fore. the question for my decision was
whether nv loyalty to the sentiment
and opinion Of the people who put me
in nomination should overrlde, OF
whether it should give way TO my roy
atty to good government, the "enate
of the whole state, the success OF Ihe
Democratic party and the triumph Oh
the great cause Of progress represented
by Governor Wilson.
Pledges Friends to Hughes
''Under these circumstances, Judge
Hughes and 1 agreed to leave to the de-
termination of the three gentlemen
named the question Of whether n oil
US should retire, and, if so, which one.
The national committee reached the
conclusion Wednesday night that
Judge Hughes was the more available
instrument for preserving the progress
already attained and for defeating the
cunning efforts of the interests to frus-
trate- the will of the people Of New
Jersey. I felt obliged, therefore, to
sacrifice the wishes Of my nominators
and supporters on the altar Of public
duty.
"I believe that every voter in the
state, when he looks at the situation
cody and periodically, will heartily
commend my conduct. Where partisan
feeling is strong and loyalty to the in
dividual for a moment blinds warm
hearted men to the higher loyalty to
state and nation there may be felt
sone temptation to lose interest in the
struggle, but every brave Jerseyman
will resist any such temptation and,
with an eye single to the common good,
recognize in this apparent defeat of the
peoples choice the one means of say
ing the act designed for their welfare
from an abuse that would wreck it. I
believe that the primary law in its
present form has proved unequal to full
filing its benefcent purpose, and that
1t must be amended so as to meet such
exigeneies as this without the neces-
sity Of any candidates withdrawal.
"Under the circumstances l shall
vote for Judge Hughes and I appeal to
every earnest and patriotic Democrat
in the state to do the same. Every vote
for Hughes at Tuesdays primary will
be an endorsement of the splendid
achievements Of Woodrow Wilson in
the state of New Jersey and an assur-
ance to the nation at large that the
Democracy of our state is devoted to
the lofty and practical ideals of our
governor.
America will never be entirely free
until her politics is identified with the
daily life Of every one of her citizens;
nor can the doctrine Of equal rights
ever again find application in the
American Republic until the last yes
tige of special privilege is wiped out of
her politics. It is the uncomfortable
purpose Of Governor Wilson to work
steadily towards this condition. The
people of New Jersey, in my judgment,
will render a signal service to Cover
nor Wilson and what he stands for by
overwhelmingly defeating the insolent
attempt of the interests, through a de-
throned boss, again to take charge of
the government of the state of New
Jersey"

OF the many things which interest the visitor
at Laysan the great number of birds and their
absolute fearessness are perhaps the most strik-
Ing. Dr. Fisher of the Albatross expedition writ
Ing OF his impression Of the enormous number
OF birds, has very truly said:
1.-THE effect of this at first was nearly over
towering. Where we made our way through the
popuous colony of sooty terms we had to exercise
much care to avoid crushing their eggs and
treading on the birds which struggled panic
stricken before US with the old ruse of a broken
wing and then, taking flight, swarming over our
heads. II We would converse, it was necessary
to shout.
Turning toward tho center of the island, We
were obliged to cross a wide area with tall grass
and completely honeycombed with the burrows of
petrels Through the roofs Of these tunnels the
pedestrian IL continuously breaking sinking in
the soft soil up to the knee. From out Of the
shadows Of the tussocks young albatross, un-
couth and awkward, snapped their beaks at US,
and occasionally losing their balance from over
haste fell forward on their chins. This proceed
ing usually made them actually sick
Few of the adult birds, however seemed
frightened, and with the exercise of little care
we were able to approach most species as close
as we wished. It was certainly gratifying to
walk up to an albatross or BOBBY and watch It
feed its young and to record this domestic duty
with the camera" -

during the year. They do not all breed at the

enjoys the experience. Whoever the
ingenious native was who first sug-
gested this mode of crossing river
ne probably came from the jungles of
Assam and had seen monkeys crossing
the river there by means of growing
creepers-there is no doubt that he
found the one method which is ap-
plicable to the big rivers, exaggerated
mountain torrents, of eastern Tibet
and far western China. The obvious
way for natives to cross a river is by
canoe, bit, unfortunately, neither the
salween nor the Mekong, big as they
are, are navigable even for canoes in
Tibet The single-way rope bridge
overcomes every difficulty. Two small
platforms are made, one on either side
OF the river, one high up, the other 20
or 30 feet lower down; stout posts are
driven into the rock and the bamboo
rope is slung across from post to post,
and frightened so that it slopes steeply
from one bank to the other. The
slider consists of half-cylinder of
wood, about three inches in diameter,
having two slots cut in it's upper sur
face, one at either end, through which
pass the leather thongs; to these
thongs the man, baggage or animal is
tied, so that he hangs just beneath the
rope, and, being pushed off the plat
form, the slider carries him safely
over the river. 1t will be seen, there
fore, that two ropes are necessary at
each crossing, one for going each way.
The advantages of such a system are
obvious. The rope is cheap to make
and the materials are ready to hand;
1t is quickly put in place and, though
1t will not stand the wear and tear Of
constant use for very long, it can be
replaced in a few hours. It can be
suspended so high above the river that
1t Is completely out Of reach of sum-
mer floods, but very often it is only
few feet above tho water at it's lowest
point, and such ropes are under water
and impossible during the summer.
On the other hand, I have seen ropes
as much as hundred feet above the
river; they look rather alarming, but.

difference whether one fell one hum
dred feet or five feet into such
river as the Mekong in Tibet. After a
few weeks use the rope begins to sag
at the lower end and may require
Tightening up, especially If animals are
being slung across; man can pull
himself up the last few feet, hand over
hand, or haul up box which has got
stuck, but an animal is helpless unless
he lands right on the opposite bank.
Hundreds of these single-way rope
bridges are in use on the Mekong and
Salween rivers alone, and they occur
a long way east of this on the La-lung
and Li-tang rivers, and many others.
But I have never seen one on the
Yangtze, which is too big river.-F.

Midway island, now one of the most important
stations on the Pacific cable, was the scene of
many wrecks and unsolved mysteries in the days
when the sailing vessels roved the seven seas.
Not the least of these strange events says the
San Francisco Chronicle involved the old bark
Wandering Minstrel which was wrecked on Mid
way in 1888, while on shark fishing cruise out
Of Hongkong All hands succeeded in reaching
shore safely, where they found old building
erected thirty years before by party of sur
veyors and here the luckless survivors of the
i'll fated Wandering Minstrel were marooned for
IA long months subsisting on fish and the eggs
OF the countless sea birds, which wheeled and
screamed over the flashing coral reefs, until res
cued by the Japanese schooner Norma and taken
to Honolulu
The Wandering Mnstreps company found many
marks OF wrecks on the island, including broken
hull marked General siegel, and on one Of the
smaller islands close to the main island they
stumbled across two mounds of sand over which
wooden crosses, made from drift wood, had been
erected, hacked with the Inscription 1886"
A little distance beyond, upon the sand, was

head resting In his hands. AS the exploring ship

survivor Of the Siegel and that the two graves
were those Of the captain and mate, whom he
had buried His name, he said, was Jorgensen,
and he had lived alone there for two years.
Jorgensen joined the Wandering Minstrers
party and as time wore along his manner became
noticeably strange; he avoided conversation and
especially evaded inquiry concerning his ship and
the details of its loss until it became the general
opinion that there mystery about the
affair which he could dissipate.
: The man chung to his secret despite the con-
slant efforts of the others to get him to dis
close it. After six months he fell i'll and when
dying told the Wandering MinstrePs men that he
had murdered the skipper and mate successfully
after they landed in revenge for previous Ill treat
ment, and buried them whore the crosses stood.
When at last the attention Of the Norma had
been attracted and the marooned sailors pre-
pared to leave, Jorgensen refused to 20 with
them. He said he felt that he must remain on
the island-the little white spot Of desolation it
was then-to watch and wait ct the graves Of
his victims.
