Setting at Rest the Incomprehensible
Bewilderment, Etc.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The pathetic state of mental
destitution in which your correspond
emit, J. L. Seward. esq, finds himself,
after having knocked on all the doors
of his intelligence and examined each
pigeonhole of his ingenuity with hol-
low results, touches me deeply.

BY the simplest Of expedients we
find that, by reversing Mr.. Hughes's
cryptic symbols. L. p. B. W. l. T. W,
and interpreting them, we readily
have: what The Infant Mind Believes,
Parents Love"
We must now seek satisfactory
objects which fulfls the requirements
Of this aphorism. We discover IT,, natu-
rally. by filling out the original
initials: Light Paper Boxes Make In
expensive Toy Weapons. Granted.
The rest is ridiculously simple.
BY an elementary process of ratioc-
nation we find Mr. Hughes is a man
of exceptional public spirit and sense.
While advertising his own eminence as
a manufacturer, he has chosen a way

cinctly, first:

the incomprehensible bewilderment
that has harassed -. l.. 81 and thank

Court IN this district holds that subway build

A BEAUTY HINT.

How to Shampoo Gray Hair and Keep
Il Beautiful.
Don't dye gray hair. 1t is a never
ending, messy job to keep it touched
up, for most hair grows about an inch
a month, and, worst or least of all, the
deception rarely deceives any one. The
lines sthat care and experience and
thought have written into every ma.
ture face require the softening effect
OF the silver tones above it. Dyed hair
has hardening effect on some faces
and to others it gives an almost cruel
look.
But once having accepted gray hair
make of it your greatest beauty. II
must be kept spotlessly clean, washed
often. Use only the best and purest
liquid soap. as free from alkali as pos
stble, and treat it as the laundress does
her fine linen. Put it through many
rinsings to get rid of every particle OF
soap. the last one being quite cool and
deep blue with indigo. Let the hair
rest in this for few moments, moving
it about in the bath so as to absorb
as much Of the bluing as possible, and
then dry 1t thoroughly with warm tow.
els and vigorous rubbing. The bluine
serves to soften the dulled. lifeless look
which always results from washing
gray hair and gives uniformity of shad
ing. Streaked locks in gray hair are
its worst feature. and especially is this
true Of blond gray hair.
Rub the scalp then with white vase
line, taking care not to let it get upor
the hair, and brush Thrush it vigor
ously night and morning to give it the
silvery cleaning that is so beautiful ir

The Impossible.

The Duke of Wellington wanted a
certain piece Of work done and in
structed an officer of the Royal engi-
neers to do it. After examination the
officer told the duke it was impossible.
The duke sent for another officer, q
much younger man and attached to an
other division of the army. This officer
did what the duke required.
The next morning there appeared in
the "orders Of the day" the following
epigrammatic note: HE who in war
fails to do what he undertakes may al
ways plead accident. which invariably
attends military affairs, but he who
declares thing to be impossible which
is subsequently accomplished registers
his own incapacity."

The Eskimos social and moral code

Should a man inadvertently or by

No one must eat seal and walrus on

All large animals killed are to be
looked upon as common property of
the tribe and not as a personal belong
ing of the man who kills them.
