You Can't Brush Or
Wash Out Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dand-
ruff is to dissolve it. then you destroy
II entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it at night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight. and by morning.
most if not all, of your dandruff will
be gone, and three or four more ap-
plications will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace of it, no matter how much dand-
ruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, ana your hair will be fluffy, Ius-
trous, glossy. silky and soft, and look
and feel hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work.-Adver-
tisement

RELIGIOUS WARS IN EUROPE.
The Thirty Years Conflict and the
 Peace of Westphalia.


 Osnabruck is one of the most vener- able towns of Prussia. In the closing years of the eighth century Charle- magne designated it as the capital of bishopric, a distinction which it en- joyed without Interruption for more than thousand years. In 1903 the see was suppressed, the last bishop being Frederick, duke of York, son of the English Hanoverian monarch, George III. In 1858 the city was restored to its religious eminence when 1t was again made the seat of Roman Cath ollie bishop.
 It is on account of her share in the preliminary negotiations which led to the epochal peace of Westphalia that Osnabruck is famous in history. In l644, after all central Europe had been devastated by the great struggle which eventually became known as the Thirty Years war, representatives of Sweden, the German empire and Ger man PrOteStants met here, while in the neighboring city of Munster, thirty miles to the southwest, delegates from France, Spain, the German Catholics and the German empire gathered.
 The negotiations extended over pc riod of four years. In October, 164S, both groups of cOnferees having ar rived at a common basis of settlement, the 0snabruck diplomats repaired to Munster, where a few days later the peace was signed which guaranteed the sovereignty and independence of the several states of the empire and which forbade religious persecution throughout Germany. It was this peace, in which Osnabruck played such vital part, that put an end to reli- giOus wars in Europe.
 As early as SSS Osnabruck was granted the right to establish Its own mint, but 1t was not until the fifteenth century that the city reached the crest of is mediaeval prosperity. Following the decline which was necessarily incl dental to the ravages of the Thirty Years war, it enjoyed a second era of growth.
 The two most impressive architec- tural piles in OsnabruCk are the spa cious cathedral, dating back to the twelfth century and representing a combination of the Romanesque and Transitional styles, and the royal pal ace, built in 1G62-T5.-National Geo graphic Society Bulletin.

PUsHBALLs ARE COSTLY.
if They Were Cheaper the Game Might
 30 More Popular.


 If some one could invent a pushball that could be made at a reasonable cost the game would be more popular. The enormous cost of pushballs has made 1t possible for only very few to own them, and they have been rent ed out at a high price to those wanting to use them. The pushball is six feet in diameter and costs $500.
 The outside covering of ,a pushball Is made of cowhide leather. This GOV ering is composed of twenty strips, which are sewed together by hand. Each of these strips is between nine and ten feet long, or half the circum- ference of the ball. The strips are widest in the middle, tapering uni formly to points at either end, the poles of the ball, where they are fur ther secured by leather caps sewed over them
 To get the leather needed for push ball 1t Is necessary to cut up five or six hides, which makes the cost of the cover very high. It takes two men the better part of a week, moreover, to sew this material together.
 The bladder for the ball Is made Of the best rubber, which s cut into strips and cemented together iE such shape that when inflated 1t will form a globe fitting the leather covering, which is practically indestrucdble. The very best rubber bladders may give out in two of three years, and a new bladder costs $150. A large cylinder foot pump suitable for infating this mighty ball costs S1O.
 . The game originated in America. The first pushball was made in New ton, Mass, in 1894. This ball had Il covering of leather shaped on a wood en form built for the purpose. Four big hides were required. These were cut to form six zones, which were put together with belting hooks. The blad- der was made of rubber cloth cut In sections and cemented together. The
 
 The game is played on a field with & goal at each end, each team trying to push the ball through the oppo- nents' goal. It is sometimes used to get baseball teams in condition during the early days. The game Is played in Europe, both in England and on the continent.
 One of the most spectacular and thrilling variants of the game is that played by horsemen In the west. It requires two teams of mounted play CTS, whose object also Is to drive the ball through the goal of the opposing side. It is pushed by the horses, which must be as well trained as polo ponies to maneuver 1t dexterOusly, and the game calls for great expertness in the riders. Cowboy saddles and dress are the correct outfit for this game.-St. EinbOlaS

QUEENSLAND SAVAGES.
Some Curious Customs of a 7aes That
 Will Soon Be Extinct.

Some Curious Customs of a 7aes That
 Will Soon Be Extinct.
 The aborigines of Queensland are fast fading away, and in view of the fact that this race will soon be extinct an examination of their social customs Is interesting.
 The death bone or bone apparatus, with its supposed property of produc- ing death, Is one of the most dreaded and universal superstitiOns among the natives of the Queensland interior. The apparatus consists of a pointer connected by string with an elongated cylindrical receptacle. The pointer, three to five inches long, Is made from human forearm bone, the string is made from human hair, and the recep- tacle, which inclOSeS the victims life blood, Is fashioned from shin bone. The medicine man" of the tribe. uses the weapon by aiming the pointer at the person selected for punishment.
 One of the most curious of the abo- riginal weapons is the "whirler," or "bull roarer." It is made of a flat tened piece of gidyea timber cut into spindle shape. into one extremity of which a hole Is drilled with a sharp ened emu bone. By means of the aper- ture this whirler is attached to a piece of string fixed at the end of a small stick. Revolving rapidly, the whirler gives out a roaring sound.-London Telegraph.

Official derelictioR has cost the life os a battalion fire chief RRd the maimirg Of other brave fire fight CTS and brought disgrace upon the municipality. Moreover, this offic- ial derelictiou, chronic and Of long standing has been daily imperihns the lives of thousands and inviting a holocaust of upspe1kable horror.
 Why was the Grand opera house, a recognized fire trap, condemne long ago, permitted to ieopardze peoples lives?
 Why was the report declaring 1t unsafe, unfit for public gatherings and a menace to adjacent property property, allowed to become a mere scrao of paper?
 Why? It is as plain as the nose on your face. Somebody had s pull Official conscience was pliable; of ficiaI courage nil. It was easier to close official eyes to q communit haz2rd, to take Q chance and trust to luck, to compromise with danger, ,Lsu to offend somebody and possi- bly, forfeit a bit Of good will and lose g handful of votes.
 All this is what the Grand opera house disaster means, and is here stated conserVatiYely.
 It speaks culpability on the part of the autbOritIes-a fragrant, tnde- feasible violation Of trust, q shame fui disregard of duty, and coward ice. While the blame falls prim- arilv upon the official or officials who originally cOndOned the dan ger when frmally made cognizant Of ie and refused to act, it reaches au@ affects subsequent administra- tons that have been equally denelic ill Oelpetuating the danger.
 If Seattle had a city manager, b it's affairs received the attention they urgently need, would such things happen and bring rsRroaGh upon the municipality? Would a case of criminal neglect thus be staring the city in the face? Would it today be paying the Urice Of its folly with the lives and limbs ot its duty-doing protectors? Would it's building department be serving no he'ter purpose than to provide jobsP Would it, year after year, tolerate a fire trap and permit il 10 thr.ye as a place Of amusement? No. Such administration as 1E now exemplified belongs only to al inherently weak, uDbuSiRess-like system, and illustrates official slotb.
 The lesson of this fire disaster directly due to mtsmaDagement - will soon be forgotten, no doubt. Il is usually so. A righteous pro test, Q little probing, the customary dodgiug of responsibility aud the passing of the buck-then the city laps back into the easy-going, time-worn groove, with its loose, inefficient methods, until something else Iappens to produce another shock and furnish new proof of of ficia' ineapacity. But this lesson should by it's severity be an excep- ton and have lasting effect. The penalty for official incompetence is heavy and ought stimulate public zeal for service and Q form of city government less susceptible to pull au1 moro alert to public welfare.
