Ballad Early Form Of Newspaper.

Ballad Early Form Of Newspaper.
 The ballad. or that form of it which is associated with the broadside, was one predecessor of the newspaper as Q commentator on events. It was writ ten for the people and sold to the people. Printed on poor paper and passed from hand to hand, copies of early ballads were seldom preserved. Fortunately several men of the sew enteenth century began to mako col loctions of ballads. and the copies of b,oadsides printed before 17Go that are now in existence are supposed to number about 10000. Soon after 1700 the printed form of the ballad was changed, the "black letter" disappear ing. but the b.llad continued as a chronicler of happenings and ccm. mentator on political, military aSd other public events until the middle of the nineteenth century. and in the United States as well as England the s.topical' song of today perpetuates the satiricar function of the ballad.

A Sure Way To
 End Dandruff

There is one sure way that has never failed to remove dandruff at once, and that is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, common liquid arvon from any drug store (this is all you will need), apply it at night when retiring i; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
 By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dis solve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruf you may have.
 You will find all itching and digging of the scalp will stop instantly, and your hair will be fluffy. lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel hundred times better.

American Orange Production.

Although sweet oranges were known in Florida previous to the Civil war, they were not considered of commer- cial importance because of the ab- sence of transportation facilities. Con- mercial orange culture dates back to between 1865 and 1870, when the suc- cess of the trees along the banks of the St. Johns river began to attract attention to this industry as a good investment. Inasmuch as profits were large from the first, many financial leaders were readily attracted to the industry, so that 1895 saw 6,10O,0OO boxes of oranges produced.
