A Well Known Actress Tells How She Darkened Her Gray Hair and Promoted Its Growth With
 Simple Home Mixture

Miss Blanche Rose, well known actress, who darkened her gray hair with a simple preparation which she mixed at home, in recent interview at Chicago. Ill, made the following statement: Any lady or gentleman can darken their gray hair and make it soft and glossy with this simple recipe, which they can mix at home. To half pint of water add OF. of bay rum, a small box of Barbo Com pound. and IA OF. of glycerine. These ingredients can be bought at any drug store at very little cost. Apply to the hair twice week until 1t becomes the required shade. This will make a gray haired person look 20, years younger It Is also fine to promote the growth of hair, relieves itching and scalp hu- mors and is excellent for dandruff and falling hair."'

THE HEAVENS IN MAY
Fly PROFESSOR DOOLITrLE If the University of Pennsylvnnia

As summer approaches we see the win ter consultations steadily withdrawing from the evening sky. This month both Taurus and Orion disappear, and only the bright Gemini remains which. with the lesser Dog Star and Capella, still makes brilliant the extreme western part of the heavens.
 In the east the two stars of the Bal ances are already up from the ground, while Spiea, the beautiful summer star, has almost reached the meridian. In the northeast. thevery brilliant. bluish Vega, which will dominate the evening skies of autumn, has mounted about ene-third of the way from the horizon to the meridian, while below this the beautiful Northern Cross. a distinetlvely fall constellation, is just appearing.

accumulated 1t will probably be found that their apparent irregularities follow some complex law, and after this the dis eovery of the real cause of their variation may follow.
 In the position marked in Figure 1 a bright variable star will be found which Is now in excellent position for ohserva- ton. If all of the stars in this neigh horhood are carefully examined with the opera glass 1t will be noticed that that marked E Is very slightly brighter than c; that C Is brighter than n. and so on. the falntest of the stars marked being that at L. The intermediate stars form a series of steps in brightness from the rather bright star at R to the faint star at l.,
 Now, the star at V. known as zeta Ge- minerum. continually varies from the brightness of l. to that of r In period of 10 days. 3 hours. 4s minutes It will at tain it's greatest brightness this month on May at p. m. on May B at D. m, and on May a at D. m. Ky glancing at II at intervals between these times the observer may readily see through com parison with the other stars which are iettered. how It's brightness is continually changing It is true that this change is but slight and would never attract tho at- tention of one who did hot magnitude. and n star of any magnitude gives but 2a times as much light as star or one magnitude less. Yet if our own sun va- ried in this hammer, pouring out 2ia times It's usual light and heat every 10 days, it would profoundly alter the condition of life on our earth
 It should be added that the star at c Is an even more interesting variable This varies from the brightness of l. to that of B, but to follow tho entire change ob- servations would have to be made at in- tefvals for more than seven months, for the period of this variable Is 23i days. the star remaining comparatively faint for several months and then brightening quite suddenly.

 Carmen Will Be Omitted
 The fact that the most popular opera of the bill had to be omitted because the company could not get ready for t Tn time. has apparently made no di1erence whatever with the desires Of the people to Eo and hear. Carmen was to havs been given on Monday night with Ger aidine Farrar. Frieda Hernpel and Caruso In the leading roles. 1t was found neces- sary to change thls opera to Massenet $ Manon Bescaut. with practically the samsl cast with'the exception of Madame Hem< pei, and yet this change has produced absolutely no appreciable difference In ths sale of tickets. The Monday night houssl will be crowded to tho doors just as much| so as If the opera Carmen had been given ln accordance with tls first announced) programme.
 The other operas to he presented dur-| ing the week are Nerdfs "frovatore' at the matinee Tuesday, with Gadskf. Ohor Martin and Amats in the ieadIng] roles. Strauss Der Rosenkavalier.f on] Wednesday night, with Hempel, Ober and Goritz in the leading roles verdl's ''Uu| Ballo in Masehera" Thursday afternoon, with Caruse. Amato. G&dski and Hempel.

 Another interesting feature of this) years presentation of grand opera Is tho fact that more out-of-town people are coming than ever before, and reservations have been made from Virginia on ths ono hand to Texas on the other.

W. s. Hleos ANNOUNCES.
IL a Candidate for Reelection to the
Office Of County Clerk.

The Eagle Is authorized to announce
Mr.. VIII s. Higgs as candidate FOL
reelection to the office of county clerh
of Brazos County, subject to the Dem
ocratic primary election in July.
Mr.. Higgs is serving his second
term as clerk and in his official ca
pacity. In addition to his long resi-
dence In Bryan, the people have had
an opportunity to become well ac-
ouainted With him. both as an official
and a citizen. He feels that he has
faithfully discharged every duty In
cumbent upon him, and is candidate
for reelection upon the record he has
made, coupled with his ability to prop
erly I'LL the office.
The office of county clerk Is one
of the most important in the county
II not the most important, because
more people have business with this
office than any other, and the real
estate records, in which every citizen
is vitality interested, are in the keeping
of the county clerk. 1t is but fair to
Mr.. Higgs to say that he has filled
the office to the entire satisfaction
of the people. In accordance with his
promise when candidate, he has
given the office his personal attention
and is always found at his post OF
duty. He has kept competent ASSIST
ants and the business OF the Office
has been discharged promptly ana
with dispatch. There has been no de-
lay and every county book and every
account are ship-shape at all times,
and any information wanted can be
ascertained In a moment.
Mr.. Higgs has treated the people
who have had business with his Office
with uniform courtesy anu eAtehueu
every kindness and favor possible. He
is always ready to lay down his work
and give any information asked or
find any record wanted. Things of
this kind enter largely in the discharge
of official duties and are appreciated
by the people.
If the people, to whom the office be-
longs, see fit to honor him with re-
election, he promises to continue to
administer its affairs in manner
commensurate with his ability. He is
thankful for past favors and will APP
preciate your future support.
The Eagle submits his candidacy to
the Democracy of the county.

Pre-nupdal Events.

Last Saturday evening very
pleasant social event took place
at the home of Mrs. E. J. Turner
where Mrs. Turner and Miss No
Ia Freeman entertained in honor
of Miss Alice Kennedy who is
soon to become bride. Four
teen people, all old friends of
Miss Kennedy, were present.
The first feature of the evenings
entertainment was KALEIDOSCOPE
ic picture of the prospective
BRIDES life, past and future, Civ
en- in pantomime by little Miss
Ruth Brehm and Teddy Rask as.
sisted by Mildred Hicks and Will
lam Christianson. The pictures
showed the childhood and the
school days of the bride, the de-
parture of the bride and groom
on their wedding journey with
their numerous suitcases, par
cells and umbrellas, and their
first dinner in their own home.
Following the pantomime, Ruth
Brehm passed packages to the
guests which contained needles.
thread and thimbles and some
cloth, and each guest hemmed a
dust cloth for Miss Kennedy's
future use. When this work
was finished a luncheon was
served in the dining room which
was beautifully decorated with
red and white tulips and ferns.
Miss Kennedy was then present
ed with a small trunk filled with
parcels, a miscellaneous variety
of useful and pretty gifts.
The ladies of the Eastern Star
gave kitchen shower for Miss
Kennedy at the home of Mrs. J.
A. Rickert last Monday evening
which was greatly enjoyed by
all present. The parcels were
tied to strings fastened to a COM
mon center, and were hidden
about in three rooms, the whole
mass of strings presenting the
appearance of vast cobweb.
To Miss Kennedy was given the
difficult task OF untangling the
web and finding the hidden gifts
The rhymes which accompanied
the parcels were a source of
much amusement. A delightful
buffet lunch was then served.

the sower spoke of the seed sown
by the wayside where the birds
could devour it, upon rocky pla-
ces and among the thorns, aud
it appears that too many of the
seeds of christianity have fallen
in such places. Wipe out the

We shall rediscover Christ when
we apply his teachings to the ev-
lis which surround us.
At the time Christ lived in Pal.
estine, the evil conditions, the
misery and the oppression were
appalling. Christ did not attack
the government because he rea-
lized that he could not combat it
successfully alone; he must first
get hearing and a following and
a band of agitators. He knew too
that he was being constantly
watched, that if he said a word
against the Roman government
his life would be destroyed and
he could not accomplish his life
work; therefore he shrewdly and
wisely remarked Render unto
Caesar the things which are Gaze

which are God Christ's moth

a woman OF the pure Jewish type.
Like other Jewish mothers she
had a hope that her child might
be the promised Messiah, the one
who would relieve her people
from bondage and oppression,
and it was her lofty and noble
purpose that helped. instil in Je-
sus a sense of his mission and a
hatred of the oppression and tn e
shams of the times.
The speaker then gave incident
after incident of Christ's life and
teachings showing how he, man
of the working class, toiling at
the carpenters bench, knew the
sorrows of the people and was
acquainted with their griefs; how
he sympatHized with the poor
and needy, how he taught the
curse of riches in his parable
about Lazaras, and in his saying
that it was harder for a rich man
to enter heaven than for camel
to go through the eye of needle;
how he bitterly attacked the
Pharisees. Christ did not sep
arate the individual from society
