HAIR NATURALLY ABUNDANT.
a
It la Free of Dandruff, It Grow*
Luxuriantly.
V. K&lr preparations and dandruff cures,
Vs a
rule, are sticky or irritating affairs
that do no earthly good. Hair, when not
(diseased, grows naturally, luxuriantly.
JDandruff Is the cause of nine-tenths of
tall hair trouble, and dandruff is caused
fcy a germ. The only way to cure dand­
ruff
is to kill the germ and, so far, tha
only hair preparation that will positively
destroy the germ is Newbfo's Herpiclde—
absolutely harmless, free from grease,
teedlttient, dye matter or dangerous drugs.
St allays Itching instantly makes hair
flossy and soft as silk. "Destroy the
cause, you

says: "Experience taught me

that Doan's Kidney Pills, sold at Mc-
Bride Will's drug store, can be relied
on to cure pains In the back or other
evidences of a disturbed condition of

importance because there are a great

which aro worthless and after th« suf

This too prevalent kidney complaint
to be one of the ills to which

that Poan's Kidney Pills are a sure

j. The Gloaming Hour.
4 love to sit in the gloaming,
Just before the lamp Is lit,
And through the open lattice
Watch the dusky night bats flit.
Out amid the length'nlng shadows
The lilies ghostlike gleam,
And the world of summer rosea"
Ll'»s trrapt in one sweet dream.
Oh, the gloaming bath a glamour,
1
A mystic spell for me!
It holds in it dead voices,
1

As a shell doth hold the sea.
And dear .lead faces once again
Shine softly through the gloom.
And the uewy dusk is flooded
With faint old world perfume.
The gloaming hour, the gloaming hour
Brings back again to me
The loved and lost that long ago
Crossed o'er the tldelees sea.
And all my weariness and pain
Like shadows flee away
As I sit alone with memory
At the closing of the day.
—Chambers' Journal.
CUT OUT THE CARELESS DRIVER.
As automobiles become common in
Iowa, i:he careless driver forces him*
self into prominence. Most owners
and drivers of Iowa automobiles are
inexperienced and too many of them
careless. A sixteen to thirty horse
power automobile capable of a speed
of twenty-five to thirty-five miles an
hour it' driven by a speed idiot, is as
dangerous to public safety as a loaded
mine in the roadway. Careful inex
perience is bad enough, but the care
less fool who drives at high speed
along crowded streets is unbearable,
and needs prompt and vigorous sup
pression. Carelessness in handling an
engine swift as a passenger train and
powerful as a locomotive is pure crim
inality and should be treated as such.
The circumstance that owners of
autos are usually persons of promi
nence adds nothing to their right. A
millionaire has no more right to race
his automobile along the streets to
the danger of the people than a dray
man to run his horses thru a crowded
thoroughfare. Ail driving is not limit
ed so much by law as it is by common
sense. The law is not to guide wide
men but to prevent crime and check
fools. When a man drives an auto
mobile thru city streets at high speed
he belongs in one class or the other,
and should pay the penalty.
The law scarcely goes far enough.
It should provide for an automobile
license to be revoked upon proof of in
competency or carelessness. Perhaps
it should go farther, and provide for
confiscation of the machine. Such pro
visions would work no hardship upon
that class of drivers, who are fit to
own or operate an auto and would
eliminate a class in whose hands a
racing machine is as dangerous as
dynamite.
The average automobilist is deeply
interested in all this. It is to his inter
est to suppress the speed maniac that
the public may .not Imbibe an unreason
ing hatred of his favorite vehicle. Au
tomobiiiists who find pleasure In this
means of locomotion and who enjoy it
sensibly, have, In certain cities, found
it nec€ssary, for self protection, to
form a league for the suppression of
dangerous driving and the prosecution
of those who thus indulge themselves.
The scorcher drew the public eye ask
ance upon all bicyclists. The speed
maniac will cast discredit upon auto
driving. Suppress the speed idiot!
THE BREATH OF LILACS.
The hills our childhood knew are ever
greenest its valleys, broad vales of
peace, peopled with the salt of the
earth find fertile with kindly remeni
branchas and pleasant memory. -TIih
streams of youth were all silver and
flow forever under skies eternally blue.
In the minds of those growing old the
picture' of childhood is immutably fixed
warm with color and bright with the
high lights of happiness. The mem
ories of childhood are the comforts of
old ag«.
A few days ago a man whose grizzly
beard find face lined with wrinkles told
the story of approaching age, came
down the street active as a boy. His
eyes twinkled and his smile multiplied
his crow's feet. "I'm going back home,"
he said, "back to the little inland village
in Illinois where I was a boy to at-
tend a Memorial day celebration. The
gathering is to be held on the banks of
the old swimmin' hole, where we bath
ed and fished for bull heads fifty years
ago," and he went away gay with the
anticipation of revisiting old places and
meeting old friends, leaving his audi
tors wishing they might "go back
home" and find as much left as he ex
pected to find of old times and well re
membered faces.
Strange how little things call familiar
scenes and unforgotten faces out of the
grave yards of old days. Just a word,
a strain of music, any of a hundred
common things sets memory busy. Oil
his way home the other evening the
sensuous scent of lilacs, heavy like the
note "of a violin, came with the breeze
across the path of a weary man and
he remembered the big clump of lilacs
that stood just outside a window of the
old home. An apple tree stood near it,
and in the early mornings of that old
time a thrush sang in its branches a
matin as sweet as the scent that rose
from the lilacs with the dew upon them.
He remembered that when he stood
looking down upon the dead face of
his mother the perfume of the lilacs
outside the window sifted thru the
screens and filled the room as her life
had filled the home and after, when
in that same room, his young wife,
with eyes star bright and deep as
pansy blooms uncovered the face of his
first born to his sight, the scent of the
lilacs drifted thru the open window like
a benediction, and the thrush was
singing his heart away among the ap
ple branches. Such close companions
are death and life, and tears and hope
in memory.
It is good to remember. Not to live
in the past, but with it. Today the
winds are all from the sunrise laden
with the lilac breath of early memor
ies but the true Memorial day belongs
to the heart and not othe almanac.
BUSINESS AT LEADING POINTS.
Chicago.—The distribution of whole
sale and retail merchandise has main
tained the recently noted improvement.
Advices from the interior indicate that
there is much better buying at country
stores, and this has been followed by a
larger number of orders among job
bers for seasonable goods. Local man
ufacturing is interfered with, owing to
strikes of shoemakers, machinists and
handlers in iron warehouses. These
difficulties, however, are expected to be
speedily adjusted. Lake commerce is
not yet relieved of the embargo placed
upon it by the protracted dispute be
tween vessel owners and workers.
Much warmer weather here has helped
retail trade materially, and sales have
improved in most of the seasonable
lines. The demand has been except
ionally good in foot wear, dress goods
and light weight apparel.. Wholesale
houses report a satisfactory trade in
staple merchandise, the best sales ap
pearing In clothing, shoes, linen and
cotton goods and men's furnishings.
Mercantile collections have continued
satisfactory.
St. Paul.—The trade situation

TIMES
is
without special new features. Unset
tled weather affects distribution of
seasonable merchandise, but jobbers
generally report a good advance busi
ness and colections are fair. Dry goods
sales for May exceed those of last year,
and hats, caps, furs and gloves and
shoes compare w-ell with the same
month a year ago. Millinery trade is
satisfactory, and there is a fair vol
ume of business in men's furnishings
and clothing. Wholesale drug trade is
very fair. Hardware is in fair move
ment and sales are up to expectations.
Kansas City.—There has not been
sufficient settled weather to greatly
benefit wholesale and retail trade gen
erally. However, there is some further
improvement in current business in
dry goods and notions. Advance orders
are satisfactory and a large fall busi
ness is anticipated. In hats and millin
ery trade is only fair. Groceries, drugs
and hardware are selling well. Shoe
jobbers report a satisfactory trade.
Lumber and building materials are in
good demand, but lumber prices are
unsteady. Retail trade in most lines is
fairly satisfactory. Collections are
fair.
Pittsburg.—The demand for window
glass has fallen off and the market is
not in the best of shape. The meeting
of a number of the manufacturers held
at Cleveland during the past few weeks
has apparently failed of its purpose, as
there are reports that some of the glass
dealers selling under list prices. Plate
glass Is in better demand than window
glass, but the demand is not strong,
and while the market is in fair snape,
trade is quiet. The hardware market
Is active and improving. Seasonable
goods are moving in fair volume and
retailers are broadening in their de
mands. Jobbers report better business
than at any time since the first of the
year.
St. Louis.—Seasonable weather has
had its influence on trade with jobbers
of dry goods and millinery and many
duplicate orders for summer wear are
received, and retail trade is enlivened.
Collections are good. Receipts of lum
ber were comparatively light, and are
again below the average for this season
of the year. Good to choice stock is in
demand at strong prices.

In the opinion of the Capital there
is not the slightest doubt but that the
radical adjustment of tariff schedules
is to be a marked feature of the dis
cussion which will decide the eco
nomical and industrial battles of the
future. The republican party will con
tinue to be champion of the tariff
principle." Whenever tariff duties are
essential to the growth or in order to
insure the existence of the industry
the republican party will favor a tar
iff In its behalf. But whenever an
industry has outgrown the swaddlins
clothes of infancy and has become so
powerful and strong as to control the
entire output o:t the product which
happens to be Its particular specialty,
public opinion is going to demand the
abolishing.of the tariff duty. Why?
Simply because it has outgrown the
need of the protection to which it was
justly entitled in Its youngest and
tenderer days. This is protection.
This is republicanism.—Des Moines

General Kuropatkin is said to feel
the need of better railroad service and
to be urging the immediate building of
a second line in the rear of his Man

means a second Manchurian line from
Harbin down. It is not apparent that
such a road would be of great service,
however, without a continuation of it
clear across Siberia. These thousands
of miles of flimsy, single track road
from Urals to the Sungari are the
handicap from which the Russian ad
vance is suffering. A double tracking
of that road would be worth half a

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.
The Rockford Register says: "It Is
Hearst or burst with the Iowa democ
racy."
"After all," inquires the Belle Plaine
Union, "what difference does it make
what the Iowa platform said about tihe
tariff, with some forty odd other states
to help make the national platform?"
In the "non-competitive plank adopt
ed by the late republican platform" the
Humboldt Republican sees "simply a
sop thrown to the reciprocity republi
cans In the hope that they would not
see the total defeat of all trade rela
tions with other countries. It is a blind
sheet hung up for deception alone. Bet
ter far come out and say, down with all
reciprocal trade. Put up the bars so
high that no nation shall send us a cent
of trade. The Republican wants no
free trade. It believes In protection to
every industry that needs -it, but it be
lieves that certain industries can be
-7
'HP
over-protected and that no tariff can
be made that does not from tune to
time need revisement. The national re
publican convention will soon be here,
land we believe that this non-competi
tive foolishness will gets its death
blow."
"We don't care a d—— about the
Iowa platform this year adopted by the
patters." announces the Manson Jour
nal.
"Mind," observes the Spirit Like
Beacon, "we are squarely on the plat
form, but in our generosity of spirit we
want the other fellows to have all the
credit for making it. Out of their own
minds und hearts created they it, and
it shall stand for the use of all Iowa
republicans until a future convention
shall make a better one."' The Beacon
thinks "since the quixotic leaders were
In the snddle to run amuck at tariff
bogies of their own creation it was not
expected they would see beyond the
narrow confines of factional strife into
the broader field of political activity."
Noting that Col. Welcome Mowry, of
Tama county, has announced his inten
tion of making a fight for the repub
lican nomination for railroad commis
sioner. the Sac Sun believes "It Is evi
dent that he has been brought out for
the purpose of defeating Ketchum,
whom the railroad companies, for some
reason, do not desire."
The Sioux City Journal suggests that
"there Is enough politics current with
out bothering at this time over a suc
cesssor for Governor Cummins. The
governor has more than a year and a
half of his present term to serve. It
may be he will have more than two
years and a half to serve. At least that
Involves a question which may as well
be determined before dealing in a se
rious way with gubernatorial candi
dates."
"That is the first black eye that reci
procity ever received at the hands of
Iowa republicans," asserts the Scranton
Journal.
"In fact. Major Lacey had never
heard of Ed Hunter's intention till he
saw it in print, and doubtless will re
fuse to be a beneficiary of Hunter's
press bureau." declares the standpat
Grlnnell Herald.
The Rockwell Phonograph suspects
the standpatters to have their knives
out for State Treasurer Gilbertson,
Secretary of State Martin and Chief
Justice Deemer, and propose to defeat
them for renomination if possible."
The Phonogroph gives warning that
"this job better be let out."

PAPERS
TRIGG'S OBSERVATIONS.
[Rockford Register.]
We came across lately what We
knew thirty years ago as a muskeg
swamp of four acres, an undrainabie
and utterly worthless and unproduc
tive plot of land upon an otherwise
good farm. The owner, finding he
fould not drain the swamp for lack of
outlet, did a novel thing. He waded in
and stuck cuttings of tho common
white willow all over It—this probably
about twenty years ago. As we saw
the old swamp the other day the water
stood three feet deep all among as fine
a grove of thrifty willows as we ever
saw, trees forty feet high and almost a
foot thru. The old bog, so worthless,
had been converted into a very valu
able timber tract which would furnish
at least sixty cords of wood to the acre
and when cut off would immediately
proceed to renew itself. This is a novel
type of forestry, but none the less
valuable for all that. Thousands of
farms all over the west offer the chance
for experiments as above indicated.
Many folks run store bills all their
lives think they have to. There Is in
every way a better method—pay cash
as you go. It will save you 10 per cent
in the long run, 5 per cent in not buy
ing things and 5 per cent in securing
the lowest prices the grocer or mer
chant has to offer. If, as so many are
doing, you are eating up this month
that which you expect to earn next
month, do penance and fast for thirty
days, get even, pay cash and eat what
you have earnejl. This suggestion is
worth good money, at least $25 a year
to any man who will try It.
THE ROBIN'S BAD HABITS.
[Nonpariel.]
A Shenandoah man who came up
from the south recently brings sad
news concerning the robin, a bird that
has always borne a good reputation in
these parts. The Shenandoah man de
clares that the robin is an old soak
when he gets the chance that he hunts
up a China berry tree when he gets
down in the southern woods away from
the school teachers and the ornitholo
gists and fills up to the muzzle on the
intoxicating berries. He gets so
beastly drunk that he flops down onto
the ground on his head and sleeps it off
like any old toper. Many a robin who
has had poems written about him in
the north has been picked up while dis
gracefully jagged in a southern China
berry copse and worked up into a robin
pie without ever coming to.
This is a sad commentary upon the
unreliability of robin nature. It also
shows him up to be marvelously hu
man in his manner of living an exem
plary life under the eagle eye of the
home newspaper and of painting the
whole universe a deep carmine shade
when he gets away from home. Man Is
no worse than any other biped. If there
were more China berries there would
be more dipsomaniac cases among the
feathered tribe.
LAW POINTS.
If there is an express or implied no
tice to the purchaser that an agent has
no authority to collect money, a pay
ment will not bind the principal. (107
111. App., 82.)
Where a contract recites the payment
of $1 as its consideration, It is valid, al
though the sum was not actually paid,
as it creates an obligation which can
be enforced by the other party. (44 S.
E. Itep., 886.)
When a debtor offers a creditor a
certain sum In satisfaction of all de
mands and the creditor gives a writ
ten acceptance of the satae, there are
accord and satisfaction, though the
creditor states in accepting »it that be
cannot accept it in full settlement. (35
So. Rep., lt!2.)
Was Personal Opposition.
Grundy Republican: The st nlpit
ters under the leadership of L^.fe
Young carried things a little too far at
the recent state convention. In repu
diating tho declarations of the last two
state platforms they took a backward
step, and by so doing showed that it was
not principle, but personal opposition
to the governor that was at the root of
the matter.
Leans Backward.
Rockwell City Advocate: The claim
that the 1903 Iowa platform was writ
ten by Governor Cummins to cover his
radical views on the tariff question is
doubtless responsible for the adoption
last week of a standpat tariff plank so
stiff and straight that it actually leans
backward, especially on the reciprocity
question. This illustrates the difficulty
of framing, on the one hand, an explicit
declaration that will exactly express
the dominant sentiment of the party,
or, on the other, a general deliverance
that will not be subject to a double con
struction. Many standpatters would
have preferred a declaration for a reci
procity that will not imperil the work
of American labor. It is possible to
have such reciprocal arrangements by
maximum and minimum tariffs, even in
competitive products.
Radical Crowd Won Out.
Elkader Argus: It was generally un
derstood that Secretary Shaw war
present from Washington for the ex
press purpose of seeing that the plat
form was conservative and reasonable
The contest was between the two ex
tremes of the standpatters, and Laf(
Young with the radical crowd won out
Plank Is a Travesty.
Guthrie Guithrlan: The rectprocltj
plank is, in our judgment, a travesty,
and in the shape it was adopted it Is no
credit to the Intelligence of the repub
licans of Iowa.
Open to Blaine's Criticism.
Stuart Herald: Blaine's criticism of
the first draft of the McKinley tariff
wiis that it did not make it possible for
the American farmer to sell a single
barrel more of pork or of flour abroad
than under the old law. A tariff mod
eled after the Iowa platform would be
open to-the same criticism as that
which James G. Blaine uttered against
the first draft of the McKinley bilL
Was Blythe Opposed to Roosevelt?
Parkersburg Eclipse: Did Blythe de
liberately turn down the administra
tion's tariff plank in the republican
state convention last week because he
is opposed to Roosevelt?
Not Tweedledee.
Keosauqua Republican: It is not a
platform of tweedledum and tweedle
dee, as were those of the past two
years. -.
It Means Nothing.
Sioux County Herald: The plat
form? Well, the platform means noth
ing. It likewise represents the ideals of
a few Iowa republicans, very few. It
Is tasteless, harmless and nobody will
pay any attention to it for the reason
that back of the platform la that splen
did American, Theodore Roosevelt. The
Iowa Idea haa reference to giving the
democratic party the sound Jthrashlng
it merits on Nov. 7.

"J
Will Join Innumerable Caravan.
Glddden Graphic: The last state plat
form is destined to stand as a monu
ment to the selfish arrogance of its
makers and sponsers. It was born in
ignoble hatred, nurtured at the breast
of malice and fathered by a set of men
Incapable of rising mentally above the
stature of children. After the national
convention it will join that innumerable
caravan and will be heard of no more
forever.
Signs of Mistake Already Appearing.
Atlanta Messenger: The following
plank is the plank that was drawn up
supposedly by Shaw and had the
indorsement of Allison, Dolllver and
Perkins. In the committee on resolu
tions, all but three were against it
notwithstanding it was known to have
had the above quoted indorsement.
It is believed to be in harmony with the
plank on the tariff that will be adopt
ed by the national convention when
it meets. It is unfortunate that It
could not have become a part of the
Iowa platform, for it Is a good plank
in every way. While it is a standpat
victory to have it omitted, the signs of
the mistake are already appearing.
Perkins Plank Much Better.
"Forest City Summit: It would have
been much better for the convention
to have accepted the plank offered by
When Medicine Fails,
Medicine must fail in a germ trouble,
because medicine never kills inside
germs. Any germ-killing drug is a
poison to you, and it cannot be taken
internally.
Liquozone is the only way known to
kill eerms in the body without kill
ing tne tissues, too. It does in a germ
trouble what no drugs, no skill in the
world, can accomplish without it. To
prove this—if you nged it—we will
gladly pay for a bottle and give it to
you to try.
Acts Like Oxygen.
Liquozone is the result of a process
which, for more than 20 years, has
been the constant subject of scientific
and chemical research. Its virtues are
derived solely from gas, made in large
Siy
art from the best oxygen producers.
a process requiring immense ap
paratus and 14 days' time, these gases
are made part of the liquid product.
The result is a product that does
what oxygen does. Oxygen gas, as
you know, is the very source of vital
ity. Liquozone Is a vitalizer with
which no other known product can
compare. But germs are vegetables
and Liquozone—like an excess of
oxygen—is deadly to vegetal matter.
Yet this wonderful product which no
germ can resist, is, to the human
body, the most essential element of
life.

The County Press on the Platform
Mr. Perkins and which, while stand
ing as pat as the plank adopted, on
the proposition that the tariff policy
is a correct and should be upheld,
still added this clause, which made :t
more elastic and acceptable.
Spite Vented in Face of Shaw.
Hardin County Citizen: The repub
lican state convention was as radical
as this paper predicted, but we didn't
expect that Young and some of thfe
lesser Illuminations would vent their
personal spite in the face of the pro
testations of Shaw, Dolliver, Allison
and the administration. Possibly un
der the circumstances the majority In
the convention would not have refus
ed to adopt declarations so evidently
in harmony with the desires of the
national leaders at Washington. The
majority, however, became possessed
of the idea that a victory without some
sort of fruit or other would be an in
consequential victory therefore the
majority adopted the plank it did
It represents the "fruits of victory" in
a measure at least. .•
Lafe Young Will Go to the Rear.
Eagle Grove Eagle: Lafe Young's
platform will simply be endured until
the national convention notifies him
to return to a seat in the rear with
St.
Reciprocity Recognized in Dingley Bill.
Harlan Republican: We know that
the theory of reciprocity was recogniz
ed in the Dingley bill, and that treat
ies thereunder were negotiated by a
commission of which Hon. J. A. Kas
on of Iowa was a member and chair
nan. These treaties have never been
•atified: have never, in fact, been eve
•onsldered by the senate, the con»
nittee to whom they were referred
having never made a report, either for
or against. They still lie in some sen
ate committee room pigeon hole, their
provisions unknown, and their merits
or demerits hidden from the people.
They must have had the approval of
the commission which negotiated
them, else they would not have been
made. We do not know whether
President McKinley, in transmitting
the treaties to the senate, gave or
withheld his approval of them. 'Tls
said that both he and Roosevelt have
urged their ratification.
Perkins 8howed Fifcht.
Osceola Sentinel: Mr. Perkins in
sisted upon carrying a minority re
port to the floor. Mr. Temple pointed
out the uselessness of stirring up a
debate and Mr. Perkins and his two
coadjutors finally concluded to let the
minority report go without challenge.
Disregarded Counsels ot Allison.
Odebolt Chronicle: In their desire
to slap Governor Cummins, the stand
patters rejected the teachings of
Blaine, Garfield, McKinley and all the
great leaders of the republican party,
and proclaimed a departure from the
time-honored policy which has enabled
the party to maintain itself in power.
They disregarded the prudent counsels
of Senator Allison and the wishes of
President Roosevelt.
Standpatism Gone to Seed.
Scranton Journal: This standpat
convention has the distinction of being
the first and only body of republicans
to repudiate the time honored republi
can doctrines of reciprocity and tariff
••evlsion. The Journal denominates the
action of this convention as: Stand
patism gone to seed.
National Will Be More Liberal.
Rockford Register: It is thought
chat the protection plank in the na
tional platform will be more liberal
than that formulated by the Iowa re
publican convention.
Repudiated Party to Pound Cummins.
Osage News: We hope that the tar
iff plank written by the standpatters
pleases them as well as they claim. We
can hardly understand this move
to discredit reciprocity of all kinds
unless Mr. Young in his bitterness is
bound to be pounding Cummins and
finds that he must repudiate his own
platform in order to do it.
Made Cummins Stronger Tha'n Before.
Britt News: They went so far with
their radical actions that they made
rsovernor Cummins a much stronger
man when the convention closed than
he was when it opened,
Product of Cumminsphobia.
Brooklyn Chronicle: The Iowa plat
form is for one month only. In a few
weeks the national convention will
speak, and no republican voice in Iowa
will be raised in opposition. In the
meantime it may as well be definitely
understood that the Iowa tariff and

We Paid $100,000
For the American rights to Liquo
zone—the highest price ever paid for
similar rights on any scientific dis
covery. We did this after testing the
product for two years, through physi
cians and hospitals, in this country

That price was paid because Liquo
zone does in germ troubles what all
the drugs, all the skill in the world,
cannot accomplish without it. It car
ries into the blood a powerful yet
harmless germicide, to destroy at once
and forever the cause of any germ dis

to do it. Liquozone is so certain that
we publish on every bottle an offer of
$1,000 for a disease germ that it can
not kill.

Waterloo Reporter: Speaking for
Waterloo republicans, the Reporter be
lieves it is safe in saying that they ard
not dissatisfied with the platform ut
terances on the protective principle
of the reciprocity proposal. There is
no talk of ripping the party for a fail
ure to declare in favor of tariff revis

await with serenity and confidence the
action of the national convention. They
expect to find in the platform then to
be made declarations which will meet
with hearty approval, which will re

Mme. Tussaud was already famous'
in Paris before 'she went to England.
It was with two of her waxen repro
ductions, seized by the people for a
parade through the streets of Paris,
that the French revolution was started.'
The soldiers attacked the figures. Two
days later followed the memorable
storming of the Bastille. Modeling
wax had been the fashionable craze of
the court and the rich. It was caught
from a physician of Berne named Cur
tius, who turiied to fine art his re
markable skill in modeling anatomical
specimens and w^s Invited to Paris by
the Prince de Conti. Mme. Tussaud,
nee Marie Gresbolt2, the child of a sol

ter. There were few personages whose
names are famons now In connection
with the revolution who did not "sit"
to the young artist in wax. The heads
of some she had to model after the
guillotine had been employed upon
them. She gave lessons in the art to
the king's sister, Mme. Elizabeth,
among other illustrious persons, and
was Imprisoned with Josephine de
Beauharnais, afterward empress. Even
in those early days M. Gurtius had a
"chamber of horrors."
But after the revolution Mme. Tus

at first find times in England much
more propitious. After trying the

a popular resort, but at last had to g§

Alaska's Glaetera.
Glacier bay is the most accessible
region in which to see large tidewater
glaciers of Alaska. There are eight
glaciers which discharge bergs into its
waters. The largest of these Is Mntf
glacier, which drains an area of about
800 square miles. It is moving with a
maximum velocity of about seven feet
a day and is continually discharging
large Icebergs from its end. Its fluctu
ations have been great within recent
times. One or two hundred yean ago
it extended, in common with the otiier
glaciers of the bay, twenty miles below
its present ending, and not long before
that the glaciers were so small that
valleys now barren and bleak were oc
cupied by large forests.
