OFFENSE THAT COST HAND
Assault In Court Regarded as Serious
Matter In England During the
Earlier Relpns.

In earlier times, and certainly
throughout the reigns of the Tudors
and the Stuarts, and even later, the
man who struck blow Or threw a
missile In court Invariably had his
right hand cut off, In addition to other
penalties, the Manchester Guardian
says. When a prisoner who had just
been sentenced to death by Chief JUS
tice Richardson at Salisbury assizes
threw a brlckbat at that Judge, an
indictment was Immediately prepared,
and the culprit's right hand was then
and there cut off and nailed to the
gibbet on which he was Immediately
afterward hung. Even SO late as 1900
the earl Of Thanet was fined $1,000 and
given one years Imprisonment for In
stigating a riot In a court. In addition
to this he was bound over In a sum Of
$4,000 to be Of good behavior for
seven years.
In 1877 Cosgrave, an American,
threw an egg at Vice Chancellor
Mains, and he was Immediately com
mitted to prison and did not receive
his discharge until placed on board a
ship sailing for New York.

Favorlte House Plants.

American housewives have a great
liking for rubber plants, which are
grown much more commonly In the
United States than In Great Britain.
No doubt one reason for the favor in
which they are held Is their ease OF
cultivation and their immunity to dust
and a dry atmosphere. The rubber
plant requires considerable water, III
though too much can easily be applied

InvaIlds OF the Forest.

In the matter Of longevity human be-
ings cannot compete with trees, but
according to mortality tables, human
beings are more fortunate up to GER
tain ages.
A forest at maturity contains about
> per cent Of the trees that started
life there. The percentage Of human
beings living from ten to fifty Is much
greater than In the case Of trees. About
% per cent Of trees die before they are
eighty years old, while only 81 per

I am old In years. but I look like a
Girl of 10. My hair is thick and lus-
trous. 1t has never begun to grow
gray. Failing hair and dandruff are

The reason lies in a formula which
I found in France. Many of my

and they gained results like mine.
They all have wondrous hair.
Now I have arranged SO every
woman. every man. may share these
benefits with me. This formula which
France gave me is at your store to-
day.
Why Hair Declines
Those experts told me this: The
scalp is like a garden. One must
stimulate. fertilize and clean IT,.
An oil called sebum hardens there.
Dandruff forms. These things clog
the hair roots. stop the growth. And
they stiie the glands which supply
pigment to the hair.
Thus hair stops growing, loses

way to light those troubles or correct
