With one despairing look at the

LIGHT HATS AND BADNESS.

Some one ought to invent a hat
which will prevent badness. though
the idea will probably not become
popular because there Is more money
in hair tonics, and hair restorers, and
fake electric massage apparatus than
in some new kind of hat which will
prevent the disease. Hundreds of re-
advertised as sure hair restoratlves.
but not one OF them win bring back
one hair 1nce the hair follicle Is
atrophied and functionless; nor will
any of these remedies prevent the fal-
ling of hair unless the habits of the
sufferers are changed. At best these
remedies are merely skin irritants,
which promote slightly increased
flow of blood to the scalp. DandruT
cures are mostly fakes, pure and
simple. The only good In the world
accomplished by these indictments is
the scalp massage INDUCED in while
applying them The time to cure bald
ness Is before it begins. Every man
should devote a short time before he
goes to bed, and after he gets up in
the morning to scalp massage, which
he can apply himself During the
brisk friction he should grasp his hair
mi handfuls and draw the scalp back
and forth many times, to make 1t
slide over the skull. That will pre-
vent binding and thinning of the scalp
and preserve the cushion of fat on the
top OF the head. 1t will also pull out
the loose hairs, which shed naturally,
and which are quickly replaced by a
more vigorous growth. A woman in
combing her hair cannot help pulling
her scalp back and forth. and this
very necessity. which she cannot pre-
vent. is the salvation Of her most
beautiful and most precious adorn-
ment. The hair should be worn as
thick as nature will allow it, and long
enough for the cut ends to extend be-
low the hatband zone. Dut all these
personal attentions win be futile I'M
less one uses the greatest precaution
In wearing the hat. Every few mi
nutes, when outside. the hat should
be lifted from the head and gently re-
placed. The hat has tendency to
settle down on the head very snugiy.

AN ELEPHANT HUNT.

Elephant hunting is the most dan
gerous and thrilling sport that know
OF. says w Robert Foran in the Circle
Magazine. Elephants commonly ira
vol in herds of several hundred, he
continues, and when maddened are
the most ferocious of beasts.
Two government officials while on
tour in the Kericho district, had their
caravan charged by herd of 300 ele-
plants. Ii selfdefense they had to
order their native escort to open fire.
The elephants charged repeatedly, but
eventually were driven off after hea-
Wy fusilade. with loss Of four killed
and many wounded.
A lucky escape was that of major
In the Third Hussars british army,
who, for several days, had been fol-
lowing small herd of elephants
through the forests near Mount Kenia.
Finding 1t Impossible to get a clear
view OF the feeding herd, owing to
the very long grass and jungle under
growth, he climbed some 80 feet into
a tree in order to get good shot at
his selected bull. He was armed with
G0Oro1lte rifle, and when he fired
the force of the explosion was SO
great that the major was knocked
clean out Of the tree, and remained
stunned for several minutes at its
foot. On regaining the use of his
senses he found that the herd Of ele-
plants had Numbered off through the
forest, leaving him unhurt.
a friend of mine told me OF another
curious experience. He was carefully
Stalking big bull elephant in large
hord, when they got his wind, and
big COW elephant charged him. He
jumped behind large tree as the ele-
phant reached him, and, bsng unable
to stop herself in time, the elephant
drove her tusks with such force into
the trunk OF the tree that they snap
ped of close to her head. The ele-
plant was stunned for moment, but
luckily turned and galloped afteh the
fast retreating herd. leaving him the
posessor OF some 80 pounds Of ivory,
valued at about $3.50.

A wicked story is told about two
partners who respected each others

STRANGE USES
Some Pictures Have Been Devoted
To.

.AOs
Pictures have ere now been devoted
to strange uses. On one occasion, for
instance, William Hunt was commits
stoned to paint the portrait of a
kneeling gentleman, in whose hand
was an open scroll, with a declaration
of love and offer of marriage thereon.
The lady to whom this unusual pro-
posal of marriage was sent replied
with chalk drawing of herself, hold
ing sheet of paper, inscribed with
the laconic YES"
Pictures have not infrequently been
chosen by whimsical testators as
hiding places of their wills. To an
even greater length of eccentricity
did a gentleman go when he gave a
handsome sum of money to Mulready
90 execute figure subject on the
back Of his win, which. thus adorned,
was framed and hung in his drawing
room!
at an inn George Moreland once
ran up an account which he was I'M
able to meet. He offered picture in
payment; but Boniface shook his
head. Suddenly, however. a fancy
seized him and he invited Morland to
step into the yard. A few days later
Morland was in possession Of re-
ceipted bill. and the following Sunday
mine host appeared at church in a
waistcoat. across which was the pic
ture Of a gigantic pig.

fOrcement law, the wet Republicans and
minority Democrats in the General AS
sembly here are now prepared to pass a
resolution tomorrow recommending to
Congress passage Of legislation to modify
the national prohibition act.
Carefully drafted by pro VO!stpad work
ers in this State, an act designed to re
wise completely the present laws and put
more teeth in the enforcement statutes
governing liquor law violations, was kill
ed in the House Friday on a roll call
vote Of 81 to 80.

this State next fall will probably include

cast during their bitter denunciation
of prohibition last week. Believing suf-
ficient strength will be mustered to-
morrow to pass the resolution asking
Con ress TO modify the national act, the
Democrats herald this as the opening
wedge in the national campaign for light
wines and beers.
Originally introduced during the first
week Of the 1896 session by Representa-
tive James H. Kiernan,, Democrat of
