Glossy, Fluffy, Beautiful-No
More Itching Scalp.

Within ten minutes after an appli.
cation of Danderine you cannot find q

MULES DEATH ARMY RECORD
Red Tape Causes Difficulties in Prov,
ing Genevieve's
Demise.

The precision and discipline of the
National Guard headquarters in New
York of two long ears, once the prop
erty of Genevieye, an army mule, who
came to her end at Camp Whitman re-
Gently. A report of the animals
demise was sent in due course to Capt.
Joseph w. Farrell of the quartermas-
ter's department at headquarters.
There Is a rule in the National
Guard that physical evidence must be
given of every article broken, lost or
destroyed. If belt buckle breaks the
belt, minus the buckle, must be pro-
duced before the loss can be recorded
on the books.
So with Genevieve. Definite visible
evidence of her ultimate fate must be
displayed before the bookkeeping and
accounting departments were permit
ted to write her obituary. After long
consultations Of important officers In
structions were forwarded to Camp
Whitman, In accordance with which q
which was found to contain the follow
ing items, to wit, one fuzzy ear, extra
long, suitable for use on the right side
of a mules head, and one similar ear,
for use on the left side of mules
head.
Genevieve's death was Immediately
recorded on the books.

Germany Uses Zinc Wire.

In order to save as much as posi-
bic Of her copper and iron, Germany
has developed the zinc wire. She is
now using it for ordinary electric wir-
ing at home and for telephone work
at the front, according TO the Popular
Science Monthly. Considerable trouble
was experienced, however, in perfect
ing the various stages Of manufacture.
The process Of drawing the wire was
especially difficult. But after innu-
merable experiments success was at
tanned. The new wire has been found
to have double the conductivity of iron
wire.

How Dumb Brutes Punish Their
Criminals Is Shown.
Observer Tells interesting Stories Of
Cases Where Swift Punishment
Has Been Melted Out to
Offenders

The punishment that birds and ami
mails mete out to their criminals and
the court and legal proceedings con-
nected with it furnish an interesting
field of study.
An interesting example of an animal
trial is furnished by an observer. A lit
tie dog had, for no apparent reason,
been mistreated by larger bulldog. At
once the little fellow secured the neigh
bornood and collected all the bones he
could find, burying them in the cellar
OF house. When he had succeeded in
securing sufficient number he issued
invitations to all the CANNES in the
nelghbOrhOod, the bulldog alone ex-
cepted
The guests came from all directions,
the halt, the lame and the hungry.
When justice had been done to the ban
quet the host arose and made an eio-
quent after-dinner speech, in which he
laid before the assembled company his
case. They heard him through, then
declared the offending and absent bull
dog to be guilty and at once proceeded
in body to carry out the sentence of
chastisement.
1t is said that q StOrk, whose morals
were sadly out of repair, once appro-
priated to himself the companion of a
neighbOr. The injured lady, with great
dispatch, called together the storks of
the district. He was found guilty and
sentenced, and the court, Immediately
turning eXecutioner fell upon him and
tore him to pieces.
similar scene, quite common
among rocks, is described by an Orni-
biologist. The culprit, brave and
1aunty, stood surrounded by forty or
fifty of his indignant mates. AS the
trial progressed the accused little by
little lost his jaunty air and hung his
head in humiliation. When the SEN
tence had been pronounced the court
death.
1t is quite common in early spring
for young and inexperienced sparrows
to steal twigs and other building mate
rial from the nests of their elders. II
this theft is detected, as it usually is, a
posse promptly visits the offenders
nest and >scatters 1t to the four winds,
soundly thrashing the occupant in the
bargain.
A story is told Of a sparrow VINO had
stolen the nest of q martin, and was
making himself comfortable in it. The
angry owner summoned all his friends
and Immediately they came, several
hundred strong, but the intruder held
them at bay for some time by pecking
all who came near enough to the open
Ing. Finally the avengers withdrew
and held consultation. In a few mo-
ments they returned, each with a
mouthful of mud, and proceeded TO
plaster up the hole walling the occu-
pant up alive.
geOn, wishing to procure a stOrk, but
being unable to do So, stole some eggs
from q nest and substituted hens eggs.
The innocent female Matched them out,
but the male, angry at the strange APP
pearance of his offspring, went away.
Three or four days later he reappeared,
accompanied by several others, who
formed q circle about him while he
argued his case. The jury without re-
firing brought in q verdict of guilty"
and the poor, innocent mother was exc
cuted.
