HOW TO JUDGE A WON AN
BY HER HAIR

There Is real common sense In
Just noticing whether the hair is well
kept to judge of womans neatness,
or good taste. II you are one of the
few who try to make the most OF
your hair, remember that II Is not
advisable to wash the hair with any
cleanser made for all purposes. but
always use some good preparation
made expressly for shampooing. You
can enjoy the very best by getting
some conthrox from your druggist,
dissolve q teaspoonful in n cup OF hot
water. This makes a full cup Of
shampoo liquid. enough so 1t Is easy
to apply 1t to all the hair instead Of
just the top OF the head. Dandruff
excess oil, and dirt are dissolved and
entirely disappear. Your hair will be
so fluffy that II will look much
heavier than 1t is Its lustre and
softness will also delight you. while
the stimulated scalp gains the health
which insures hair growth.-Adv.

A spirit of sadness and reflection on higher things pervaded the ses- sion of the House of Representa- tives thls morning when Speaker Hess announced that the infant son of Peter C.

FLAWLESS EMERAlDS.
Perfect Stones of Over Four Carats Are
 Almost Priceless.

The National museum in Wash ington has a fine collection of em- eralds, one of the most valuable of precious stones. It includes some forty specimens of both cut and uncut stones. Mineralogically, the emerald, together with aquamarine, goshenite, dayidsonite and morgan ite is a variety of beryl, a mineral species which crystallizes in six sid ed prisms varying from beautiful green through light blue, yellow and white to rose color. The em- erald is rich green in color, but otherwise similar in hardness and physical properties to the other forms. Compared with most gems, however, it is soft, being only slightly harder than quartz.
 Unfortunately it is seldom free from flaws, and were this not the case an emerald would be of greater value, carat for carat. than the dia- mond. Today a good diamond is worth from about $250 to $400 per carat, according to its purity and size. while an emerald varies from S350 to $500, increasing very rap idly with size. Flawless emeralds weighing more than four earats are among the rarest of jewels, d per feet stone of four carats being prac- tically priceless, whereas a diamond would only bring from S1,0o0 to $2,000. The great demand and re- stricted supply of emeralds, to- gether with the fact that they are very hard to initiate, have forced their cost to a height which puts large stones of good quality be- yond the reach of all but the very wealthy.
 The crystals are simple in form, merely hexagonal prisms attached at one end to the matrix, with usually fiat face at fight angles to its axis on the other end. They are invariably fawed, so much so that "a flawless emerald" has be- come a proyerbial expression for un- attainable perfection. The largest single crystal, said to weight 9s4 ounces, is in the possession of the Duke of Devonshire, but the di- vision of mineralogy of the Nation al museum at Washington has an excellent specimen from Stony Point, Alexander county, N. C., which weighs S34 ounces or over 1900 carats and is the largest ever found in the United States.
 Among the specimens is a sec ton of an uncut crystal from Muzo, Colombia. South America, collected by Dr. Joseph E. Pogue, former as sistant curator in the division oi mineralogv of the National mu- scum. This contains flaw com- posed of carbonaceous matter, which appears in cross section as a six rayed star centering, at the axis of the crystal, in a small hex agonal prism. It is a very unusual form and is believed to be unique in museum specimens.

An Amiable Maniac.

Australia once possessed an ami able maniac who had pleasant lit tie habit of getting on train on Sunday and pulling the bellcord as soon as the train started.

Origin of the Red Gap of Liberty.
 The red cap of Liberty had very

prosaic origin. Instead of being the Phrygian bonnet it is just the galley slaves headgear. The Swiss of the Chateauroux regiment sent to the galleys for their share in the Nancy riots were released and came into Paris with the red caps still on their heads. "They are the vic tins of despotism," said the people, forgetting the circumstances of the riot, and so the red cap became the favorite with the extreme party London Globe.
