Every girl and woman, too, wants to be beautiful acl attract!ve— it’s birthright—but unsightly, or thin and characterless hair destroys half tbe beauty of the most attractive face.

It will double the beauty of the hair, cool and invigorate tbe scalp and first application removes the dandruff. It is the hair tonic par excellence, containing the proper elements to supply hair needs and make the hair soft, wavy, lustrous and abundant. Parisian Sage as sold by J. T. Ben nett in 50 cent bottles is pleasant and refreshing, daintily perfumed—neither greasy or sticky.—Adv. DUTCH BELTED CATTLE. Once Nearly Exterminated, They Are Now Bred by the Nobility. Dutch belted cattle originated in Holland several hundred years ago. At the time of the great Holland wars they were nearly exterminated by the invading armies, and the few that re mained became tbe property of the no bility, who have bred them pure ever since, but do not willingly part with them. They are known m Holland as Veldlargers, which name means “wrap ped around with a sheet.” In color they are black, with a band of pure white entirely around the body. They may also have white fore feet, white hind feet and legs up to the gambrels and a white switch. The “belt” varies in width. On some it is but a few inches wide. On others it reaches back on the hips and forward on the shoulders. Usually it covers the body from just in front of the hips nearly to the shoulders. They have the prominent eyes, thin neck, silky hair, soft skin, elevated flanks, broad hips, long, slim tails, shapely, well placed udders, prominent milk veins and so called milk form, which make up the dairy type of cow. They are very tame and docile, hardy and vigorous.—G. G. Gibbs in Ameri can Cultivator. Simple Enough. ‘‘How does your husband account for the high cost of living?” “Very simply. He just blames me for it.” ANOTHER EXODUS FROM JAP ISLE Two Eruptions and Quakes Cause Terror. VOLCANOES ARE STILL ACTIVE Bluejackets Rescue Sixteen Persons Adrift in Sea Floating Pumice stone—lo,ooo Are Believed to Be Dead. Kagoshima, Japan, Jan. 19. —Two further violent eruptions of the vol cano Sakura-Jima, accompanied by a severe earthquake, have occurred, causing the collapse of many more buildings. Numbers of the inhabitants of Kagoshima who had returned again fled in terror from the city. Ashes are falling thickly. The volcanoes continued very active all day and emitted great quantities of stones and ashes. Numerous explo sions occurreed and poisonous gases were ejected, making breathing diffi cult. The emperor’s envoy has found it impossible to make the trip around Sakura-Jima. There has been some looting here. The sea in the Gulf of Kagoshima seemed to be boiling and the quantity of floating pumicestone was so great that it prevented naviga tion. Refugees Adrift in Ashes. Bluejackets from the Japanese fleet discovered a native craft containing 16 refugees from Sakura who were in a starving condition. They reported that, owing to the floating masses of pum icestone and the high seas, they had been unable to steer their boat and had spent three days adrift at the mer cy of the elements and without a mor sel of food. The geologist Okada is of the opin ion that Sakura-Jima will continue in eruption for a month.. Must Abandon Island. About seven-tenths of the island is a desert of lava and the remaining land is in such a hopeless condition that it must be abandoned. Fifteen hundred of the 2,0G0 houses on the island were buried. The estimated damage on this account is $5,000,000. How to deal with the islanders is a great problem, the profesosr says, but evidently they must migrate. Loss of Life Near 10,000. Tokio, Jan. 19. —An indication that the loss of life on the Island of Sak ura may be much larger than has been supposed is given in a report received here from an official of the interior de partment sent to Kagoshima. He re ports that 9,000 out of Sakura’s esti mated population of 19,000 has been accounted for. RICH MAN DEFENDS WOMAN Ellis Says Employe Who, Nephew Asserts, Bribed Him to Commit Murder, Is Innocent. Bernardsville, N. J., Jan. 19. —Mrs. Grace Holly, forty-five years old, was disclosed as the woman who Paul Carl says inspired him to attempt the murder cf Monroe F. Ellis, lumber magnate, on November 20, 1911. Mrs. Holly is an aunt of Carl and an em ploye in Ellis’ office. “The dragging of Mrs. Holly’s name into this case is one of the most scan dalous things I ever heard of,” Ellis said. “I don’t care for my own repu tation, but it is an outrage for such a charge to be brought against her.” Ellis declares he knows who shot him and why it was done and he says that if his theory is correct Carl could have had no hand in the case. Waltham Watch Company Appeals. Washington, Jan. 19. —The Waltham Watch company appealed to the Su preme court from the decision of the New York federal courts, which held that its contract fixing the resale prices of watches by retailers violates the Sherman law.

SLAIN WOMM IS IDENTIFIED Sister of One of Victims in San Fran cisco Tragedy Reveals Facts in Case. Dexter, Mo., Jan. 19. —Blanche Wood, who committed suicide with a supposed former supreme court judge in a San Francisco hotel, has a sister living here and she was notified of the tragedy. The man who ended his life immediately after the girl shot herself was not her uncle, and is be lieved by her relatives here to have been a former treasurer of Clark coun ty, Arkansas, who was charged with a shortage of $30,000 in his accounts. Blanche Wood’s real name was Mrs. Sallie Blanche Shoemaker, according to her sister. Mrs. W. C. Elder.

The result was that all his treasure was ground to a powder. The man had a profound mistrust of banks. MOSBY FLED WITH HIS MEN. An Attack That Wholly Demoralized the Partisan Rangers. Colonel .John S. Mosby, commander of the Partisan rangers, who gave such dashing service in the southern cause, told of an amusing incident in which he figured. In the summer of ISG4 when General Phil Sheridan was in the valley of the Shenandoah he found himself much harassed by Mosby, who was continu ally cutting off his supply trains. An army cannot fight on an empty stom ach. and Mosby knew it. One bright morning Mosby heard that a long sup ply train was winding its way dow’n the valley. By noon the rangers in their gray uniforms were gathered at the forks of the valley pike, watching for the head of the wagon train to ap pear. Presently a cloud of dust was seen rising far up the road, and as the wind blew it aside the Confederates caught sight of a line of men in blue escorting a caravan of lumbering wagons drawn by mules. Instantly Mosby gave the order to run a little howitzer up on the side of a hill and unlimber it. As soon as the gun bad opened fire the rest of the men were to make a cavalry charge and throw the train into confusion. The rangers jerked the gun into po sition and began to swab it out. Sud denly the man with the swab gave a shrill yell, seized the seat of his panta loons and fled down the hill and out into the road. Almost in the same moment the other man at the gun abandoned it. He seemed to be fight ing at the air as he disappeared over a stone wall. The sutler’s wagons were creeping nearer, and Mosby did not know what to think of such extraordinary conduct. He ordered four more men to the gun, but hardly had they reached it when they, too, yelled, began to beat the air madly with their hats and took to flight. Spurring his horse over the stone wall, Mosby rode toward the gun, but his stay was short. The howitzer stood just over a hornets’ nest, and those busy insects were resenting the intru sion. They had repelled the invaders on foot, and now they swarmed on Mosby’s horse till the maddened ani mal tore off down the pike on a run. Then they turned their attention to the rest of the troop. Their attack was so vicious that the rangers gave up any idea of standing by the gun. They scattered far and wide, and it was an hour before they returned. When they did the wagon train had safely vanished in the dis tance. So the hornets saved the day for Sheridan. —Youth’s Companion. Where Science Fails. Science has wrought many achieve ments, but it has not cleared up a sin gle elemental mystery, and it has cre ated a thousand lesser mysteries that, never were imagined until science came. Science has demonstrated that this oak of a world used to be an acorn, but how that acorn came into existence or whence it obtained the latent elements that now have become an oak science has not suggested. Sci ence has made it possible for a manu facturer to cut down three trees in his forest at 7:35 in the morning, to have them made into paper at 9:34 and to have them selling on the street as newspapers at 10:25, but whether the manufacturer himself is a brain that has a mind or is a mind that has a brain science cannot even guess.—At lantic Monthly. PICTURES FOR THE DOGS. A Cinematograph Show Only Interest" ed the Animals In Spots. A moving picture show was recent ly given in London to determine what effect a cinematograph picture had on the intelligence of animals. A series of motion pictures was reeled off in a darkened room before an audience of prize dogs. First some pictures of a dog show were run through. The dogs walked up and had a look at it and turned away, obviously bored and uninterested. Evidently the subject was too familiar. They woke up, however, when an elephant came splashing into a pool of water and appeared to be walking into the room. A massive bulldog made a dash for the screen. With his head up and ears pricked, he got ready to attack, and the whole audi ence barked and bayed in blood cur dling discord. Pictures of birds also irritated them, but when other ani mals were shown they quickly recog nized that they were not looking at the real thing and in a few seconds quieted down completely. The general result of the experi ment seemed to be that dogs do not understand still pictures, but that they appreciate motion, though it very largely depends upon the nature of the thing moving.—Pearson's Weekly. Did She Keep Her Temper? Mr. Biles is a very hasty tempered man, but he is also one who keeps his promises to the very letter. Therefore Mrs. B. extracted from him a promise always to count twenty before he speaks if he feels rage coming upon him. Last Sunday he rushed into the back drawing room spluttering with fury and red in the face. Mrs. Biles rose and laid a gentle hand on his stammering lips. “M-Mary, I—I—I” “Hush, dear.” said the sweet wo man. “Count twenty and conquer yourself, and I shall be more proud of you than if you had conquered the world.” “Eighteen, nineteen, twenty”— “Now tell me, dear.” “It’s that new hat of yours that you paid G guineas for, and the new serv ant's gone out in, and it’s raining hard STATE OFNIGARA6UA Has Greatest Area of Any in Central America. Facts About Character, Resources and History of the Country for Which a United States Protectorate Is Proposed. New York. —Of all the Central Amer ican states, Nicaragua has the great est area. The country is almost exact ly as large as New York state. The population of Nicaragua is about 600,000; that would give about twelve inhabitants to each square mile. There are few Europeans in Nic aragua. The great mass of its popula tion consists of Indians, negroes, mu lattoes and mixed races. The popula tion descends chiefly from the native Indians, from their Spanish conquer ors and from the slaves introduced during the colonial period. Intermar riage w ith other South Americans, and also with Europeans, has further com plicated the race situation. Hence in Nicaragua we find half-castes with Eu ropean features and Indians with fair hai T and blue eyes. Despite the fact that there is hardly any immigration the population is in creasing with great rapidity. Among the Europeans in Nicaragua the Span ish element is naturally the most prominent. The capital of Nicaragua is Mana gua, a city of some 35,000 people. It is situated on the Lake of Managua. The largest city in the republic, how ever, is Leon, with about 63,000 people. The chief ports are San Juan del Sur on the Pacific, and Bluefields and Grey town —the latter known to the Nic araguans as San Juan del Norte —on the Gulf of Mexico. Nicaragua is a typically tropical country. It is a very rich country nat urally. Its three main sources of wealth are agriculture, timber and mining. In agriculture the chief prod- ih IW ILJjU r'> L tj •• . ...... Facade of National Palace, Managua. uct is coffee. The coffee estates are largely in American and German hands. Another important agricultural product is cocoa. It is grown chiefly in the south along the Pacific coast. Sugar is also widely cultivated. To bacco is also grown; the leaf is good, but as it is not well cured it is not ex ported. Like many another region bor dering the Caribbean sea, Nicaragua finds a profitable export in bananas, which are grown in large quantities, especially near Bluefields on the Gulf of Mexico. j As to timber, the Nicaraguan forests contain splendid mahogany and cedar trees, the wood from which is largely exported. The forests also contain many valuable dye woods, gums and medicinal plants. Rubber is also grown there. As to mining, the gold mines are very important and are worked by American and British companies. The gold export averages a million dollars a year. ♦ Nicaragua trades with the outside world, but the volume of commerce might be greatly extended. Of the ex ports about a third come to this coun try; the rest go chiefly to Great Bri tain, Germany and France. Of the im ports more than half come from this country, and the remainder mostly from the three countries above men tioned. At Corinto the steamers of four shipping companies, two American and two German, now regularly visit the port. The only railway in Nicaragua is the so-called National railway, an American concern having a total length of about 170 miles. The line runs from Corinto to Leon Managua, and other cities. On the various lakes steamers ply as well as on the San Juan river. These lakes furnish, from end to end. about a hundred and fifty miles of navigation. There are, un fortunately, few good wagon roads in Nicaragua.—The Outlook. Lawn Parties in Cemetery. St. Louis, Mo. —Lawn parties in a cemetery are the newest society diver sion here.
