Proves That Parasites Cause Hair Loss, Nine-tenths of the diseases of the scalp and hair are caused by parasitic germs, The importance of this dis covery by Proféssor Unna, of the Charity Hospital, Homburg, Germany eap not be overestimated.

WELL BUILT PLACE THE GREAT GROWTH OF PRINCE RUPERT, New City That Was Made to Order Has Now Population of 4,000-- Publicity Campaign. The Publicity Club of Princes Rupert has recently issued a pamphlet des erilfng the phenomenal growth of the new city since the sgle of town lows to the public four months ago. The pamphlet describes the dty as having the unique distinction of being the "first city which was ever made to order," and speaks of the record made in town lot sales since they were placed on the market, According to the publication less than 3,000 lots in all parts of the site put up by the government and the GT.P. brought close on one and ¢ half nikon dol lars, ; The planning of the new ity was commenced in May, 1906, when the GI.P's stafl of engineers made a landing, and clearing for the loea- tion of the camp, preparatory to mak- ing the preliminary survey. Now a complete raphical survey has been: made of all lands comprised in the townsite, covering an area of 2, 000 acres. In four months 5,000 lots were sold for $1,000,600, and at the present time nefther the government nor the company has any lots for sale, , A complete survey was made of the harbor by the dominion government hydrographical survey this vey shows that the entire harkbyr from the entrance to the extreme end for a distance of fourteen miles is elie gether free from rocks or other 0 structions of any kind, The entrance is straight, and 2,000 feet in width at the narrowest part, with a min mum depth of thirty-six fest at low tide As an illustration of the excellent hydrography of the harbor the steamers Hercules and Crown of Fv licia. came round the Amerdan conti tinent and anchored in the harbor with rails for the G.T.7., without find- ing it necessary to tall in dhe ser. vices of a pilot. The docks, too, are up-to-date. Unlike all other new railroad and seaport towns, says the pamphlet, Prince Rupert is not a "shack" town nor a city of tents. Building material is aid down at the same cost as at Vancouver, with moderate freight charges, the only advance, and mary of the citizens are construeting sub- stantinl residences, grades having been established which permit of the erection of permanent blocks. The government is building a dock 580 by 600 feet, a houpital, a 530,000 school: house, a quarantine station, and other necessary buildings, while a syhdicate i commencing work on a cold stor- age plant, and fishing station, and another is installing a new steam- ship line to the Orient. There are two newspapers in the town and four churches. The population is about 4,000, and the club considers that with its natural advantages, and its closer proximity to the Orient and to Alaska than any other point jutting into the Pacific, it will wonderfully in. crease that population withi next ten years. will be the Pacific coast terminal to 1#"the quickest transcontinental route in North America," will, it is estima: ted, have a vast bearing in the build: ing up of a great trade with the Orient. Remember," says the pamphlet, "that the harbor of Prince Rupert is sufficient in size to shelter any number of ships, great as are the possibilities of this new port, the nearest to Japan and the east, the terminus of the Grand Trunk Pacific railway, the shortest line from Liver: pool to Yokohama, and the ' short. est route around the world." The pamphlet then continues to enumerate the opportunities in con- nection with mining, agriculture, fish- ing, and lumbering, which are = pre- sented in lie vicinity of the new town, and guotes opinions of well known men on the possibilities of the town. BODIES OF DEAD CHINAMEN Exhumed at Intervals and Sent to China for Burial. There is one Chinese society, says a writer in the Toronto World, whose work is not done secretly. What the Chinese equivalent may be is unknown but it is known in the vernacular as the Resurrection Society, Its agents are located jn every city wheré China- men congregate, and {gp them falls the duty of looking after the bones every Chinaman interred in Canadian and American graveyards. Keeping tab of the remains of every dead coun: tryman is no light task, but the so- ciety claim that they ean account for every Chinaman, living or dead, on this continent. Periodically, the bones of all the departed are dug up from their resting places and then shipped to their homes in China, For the purpose of keeping track of the dead, the North American continent is divi- ded into districts, and in each distriet a city is gna as the burial Vancouver, Victoria, New festminster, Toronto, and Montreal are the cemeteries of Canada; Chicago, Denver, San Francisco and New York, those of the Uniled States. Ench city has a resurrection festic val in turn, Vancouver Island being the scene of the last one held in Can- ada, the resurrection which took place last March yoiting in a la ship- ment of bones to the Flowery 3 This year Chicago has figured as the arena of exhumation activities, the bones of all the deceased Chinamen the middle-western ' states being dis- interred last week preparatory the long journey eastwards. After exhumation, sur the.

The Chicago consignment will be sent via Vancouver and themee trans ukinped from the train to one of the Empress liners. Arrived at Hong long, the bones are unloaded and taken to the Hong Kong hospital, where they remain until velations or friends put in their claims and pay all the expenses incidental to getting the relics back 10 the home land. Every Obinaman ie buried in district in which he was born, no matter where he dies, the eyed, saffron-hued celestial, ere closes His eyes for the last time, is happily conscious that eventually he will be taken back to the land of his fathers. Once the bones have been claimed by the relatives in China elaborate pre parations are made to hold an impres- sive funeral, no matter how long ago the dead man crossed the big divide. It costs - approximately #7 per head, or set of bones, for shipment from Chicago to Vancoaver, and the ocean rates across the Pacific are slightly in advance oi the ordinary freight tariff, In Toronto, the last resurrection oc- curred some two years ago, though several local Chinamen expressed them- selves as not being quite sure of the actual date. They state, however, that the next shipment will take place from New Westminster, and that To- ronto may not ' see another resurree tion for many years. The Chicago consignment is the biggest on record consisting of thirty-one dend China- the and slant he men. A Chinaman informed me that in burying the dead in the land of their birth, they were following out the tenets of their religion, which held out little hope of ultimate happiness for the unfortunate Celestial who was compelled to take his last sleep in an alien land.

Blotting paper was discovered purely by accident, says a writer in T. Ps Weekly, Some ordinary paper was being made one day at a mill in Berkshire, when , careless workman forgot to put in the sizing material. It may be imagined what angry scenes would take place at the mill, "as the whole of the paper made 'was regarded as being quite useless. The proprie- tor of the mill desired to write a note shortly afterwards, and he took a pitce of waste-paper thinking it was good enough for the pw . To his inteise annoyance the ink spread all over the . all of 4 sudden there flashed over his mind the thought that his per would do instead of sand Ying ink, and he at once adver- is wasto-paper as "blotting." There was such a big demand that the mill ceased to make ordinary y and was soon occupied in making Ho - only, the use of which spread to all countries. Thé result now is that the descendant of a discoverer owns the largest mills in the world for the manu- facture of this special kind of paper; The reason the Pager "which to i ink' isthat ike tubes whic! by capillary atttaction it is a mass of auek vp Yopuief 1H ANNUAL CONSIGNMENT OF Mis- SIVES ARRIVES.

In order to facilitate him in his search for an appropriate token illustrative of his feelings inventive geniuses have oon- trived that strange mixture of papery lace, éupids, bows and arrows, hearts and sentimental poetry known as the yalentine, which! car he secured in most any store ui consequence. They range in size from a small paper heart to a magnificent, blossoming, combi- nation of every symbol suggestive of love and affection and in price fitting with the pocketbook of a newshoy or a millionsijre. Not every valentine, however, an- swore the above description. There are also on sale. many of the painful comic valentines. For what purpose these articles were contrived has never hecome known. They usually comprise a picture, or cartoon, with a piece of attempted poetry beneath descriptive of the illustration and generally with no real meaning and no real sense as far as anyone has yet discovered.

Her Curiosity, Chicago Hecord Herald It is rumored that Lady de ' Pathe (Mrs. Langtry) is about to publish a novel and a volume of memoirs. A Chicago publisher said, in discus. sing the report that both books should be witty: "Lady de Bathe is a very witty person. er wit is an- dacious. I'll never forget a specimen of it that enkivened a Michigan ave nue dinner party on her last Aweri- can tour,' Lady de Bathe during din- ner said to a woman who sat near her : "Who is that fat man over with the cuifous blue face ¥"' "That is my husband,' the woman answered, her voice tremulous with rage. "Oh, how fortunate !" said Lady de Bathe. "You're the very person I wanted to meet. Now, tell me, is he blue all over ?" | there Fish Eating Ponies, Buffalo Express. The horse dealer patted the sturdy, sha Shetland. "This little chap's brothers on the islands of Unst, Yell, Brassay and Fet- lar," he said, "are having a hard time of it this winter. The Shet- land peasants, as soon as the cold comes on, turn their ponies out to shift for themselves. Om those high erful abd cold winds of winter, the ponies live on heather and sepweed, and it is indubitable that in their hunger they even scour the wild coast for dead fish. *I4 is this Kie of exposure that gives the Shetland pony his shaggy coat. What gives him hs kind and gentle disposition is the fact that he is brought up with the dogs and children--one might almost say he is wrought up in the house." Don't blome the eat. No doubt a canary bird looks as good to him as a watermelon does to a country hoy. A good many people who believe they are indignantly protesting against sin are really gossiping. Perhaps it's the popularity of popu- Jax songs that renders them unpopu- ax. URED BRONGH[TIS Mrs. Hopkins Says Her Life Was Saved--Choked and Gasped for Breath.

HANLEY, Agent. of alism of a generation ago Mr. Farrer regarded as somewhat harsh, which as sumed that the tory was bad by na ture and circumstances, "Sir Johao"s policies, viewing them at thiz distance, more populas with the average man.

In his | private opinions there was nothing tory in the technical indeed, | judged by what he did in public, he | would have been regarded in the old country as a somewhat advanced lib | eral: At home he bore no maliee to |b those who fought him publicly, When George Brown dying Sir Johan used to telegraph us every might as to his condition.

At first he used to protest in a good-humored way, saying we were mere milk-and-water fighters, but in tha end he came to see, with most men in journalism, that nothing is so unwise as to be extreme. "On the night of September 17th, 1878, when he was returned to office, he was in Kingston. Two or three days afterwards he came to Toronto, to the United Empire Club, in order, as he said, to divide the spoils. He himself arranged the little, party; there was no one there who had not worked to the best of his power, yet nobody: was there who could he called well-to-do; by which 1 mean that Sir John purposely overlooked the rich men.
