SOFTNESS OF SEALSKIN.
to Illvalcil by Humnn Hair Where
lJ.mdruff I* Eradicated.
Sealskin is admired the world over for
its softness and glossiness; and yet the
human hair is equally as soft and glossy
when healthy: and the radical cause of all
hair trouble is dandruff, which is caused
by a pestiferous parasite that saps the
vitality of the hair at its root. Newbro's
TTerplclde is the only preparation that is
fatal to the dandruff germ Without dan
druff there is no falling hair, but a lux
uriant growth of glossy, soft hair is cer
tain. Scouring the scalp won't cure dan
druff. Kill the dandruff germ. Thous
ands of women owe their beautiful suits

A Curious Accident.
Of all the curious accidents the
strangest occurred in the Madras presi
dency. India, some years ago. A large
party was out shooting and had mor
tally wounded a tigress. She was.
however, still able to fight. and one of
the hunters, having rashly ventured
too near, was seized by the beast. His
companions ran ii|> and soon dispatch
ed the tigress and released her victim.
But just as be rose to his feet there
was a loud report, and he fell again,
with a bullet through his chest. In
rising be bad struck with his foot and
discharged bis own rifle. which lay on
the ground. After long nursing he
recovered from the wound, but it was
a narrow escape.
Mule Kidmg In Portugal.
In odd contrast to the modern rush
and honk t>f the automobile and the
clang of tile trolley <-:irs are the saloios
or small farmers of Portugal, who ride
nonchalantly through the twentieth
tenturv hubbub on the back—the ex
treme back—of sru.iil. patient eyed
mules. Though the country has pro
gressed and the farmers are progress
ing toward prosperity, they have con
sistently refused to move farther for
ward on the mule's back hi Portugal
than the last fifth of his auntomy. Per
haps the custom arose from the time
when the mule carried a large load
Just before the rider and the habit has
not been broken.—Christian Herald.
Pullman Cars.
The rullman car goes back to the
year ISoS. That year Oeorge M. Pull
man arranged with the Chicago and
Alton railway for a couple of its day
coaches, which he fitted up as sleeping
cars. The first car was ready for use
in September, 1858. This car was a
low deck one, with rods running up
and down at the end of each berth.
The upper berth was pulled up on the
rear side by a rope and pulley, and the
front of the berth slid up on these rods
and fastened with an iron catch. The
lower berth was made out of the two
seats turned together. Thus humble
were the first Pullmans which are now
so comfortable in their arrangement.

AN ODE TO THE ROTARY
Uy Conductor Slaielly j (
I" you'll listen boys I will tell you
0* Jjltie Old Head on our rotary
crew,
These boys for sure have got a
gra£t.
They make three trips a week
In tlia» old Iron Craft.
The" leav Skagway, yes, in a mad
dening rush.
So clear away any ice, snow or
slush.
Tea drinking Jimmy is pilot, you
see,
And Old Twin Conductor and Stu
dent make three,
For three is the number the White
Pass allow
Of train men to work on this ro
tary plow.
Watery Bill is the man at the
wheel,
He'd make sixty easy, going dowu
ill].
This he has done 011 occasions quite
rare
When f.e xouiifl ne uau iun cuuirei
of tbe air.
Now right behind Bill conies John,
he's tne stuff,
He never grumblgs if the Old Mill
rides rough.
When. he takes 'em out he sure gets
'em home
For his hand from the throttle he
never lets troam.
Then there's Mac, he's ahead of the
command,
He's like all the rest—just works up
for money,
But he's there with the come on
When they're bucking enow.
If you rede in that Band Bos you'd
suiely think so.
There are other men too that work
on this crew,
They're known as Tallow Pots to
more than a few;
See them handle the scoop as the
old Gale jogs
Cavee they are the boys that make
all the fog.
The trip all over they go to the
barn
But don't stand around a spinning a
yarn,
They size up their Jine from shoe
to the jacket,
If she's not kept In shape
Shr'll sure make a racket. J_j J
