Mahood, cor. viwifloess and Bagot streets, A Simple Way To ) Remove Dandruff There is one sure way that has never failed to remove dandruff at once, and that is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, common liquid arvon from any drug store (this is all you will need), ap- ply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely des- troy- every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. 2 You will find all itching and dig- ging of the scalp will stop instantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better.

POINT TO THE GRAND CLIMAX When Darkness and Cold Shall Over. take Our Planet and Smother It In the Chill of Death--Their Effect Upon Climatic and Weather Conditions. The return of sun spots is a phenom- enon that astronomers always regard with great concern. They come flock- ing baek once im about every eleven years. It takes on the average four and a balf years for them to reach a maximum of numbers, when the sun is seen to be more or less speckled ev- ery day, and six and a haif years to decline again to a minimum, when for months in succession the sun's face is as clean as a polished mirror. Upon the whole the heat on the earth, tak- ing its entire surface into account and basing the observation on the temper ature of the atmosphere, is about 13% degrees of the Fahrenheit scale lower at sun spot maximum than at sun spot minimum. This cannot be wholly due to the darkening of the sun caused by the presence of the spots, since, as Mr. C. G. Abbott of the Smithsonian institu- tion has shown, the amount by which the temperature is lowered is five times too great to Be dccounted for in that way. But there are other ways in which an invasion of a horde of spots on the sun makes its effects felt upon our globe. The most conspicuous of these is in connection with the earth's mag- netism. v The earth is a great magnet, and the sun appears to exercise a direct influ- ence upon its magnetic state, that in- fluence varying with the condition of the sun as to spottedness. When sun spots are at a maximum, magnetic storms of great violence occur, during which the electro magnetic excitement of the earth is vividly manifested--in the atmosphere by imposing displays of the aurora borealis, and in the earth itself by vagabond currents which in- terrupt telegraph and cable communi- cation, and sometimes leap into visi. bility in the form of crackling sparks and electric flames playing about the instruments. Occasionally it has been possible to trace phenomena of this kind to the influence of individual sun spots of un- usual magnitude and activity. It is like the transmission of a shock from the sun to the earth, across a gap of 93,000,000 miles, supposed to be filled with nothing but the invisible and in- tangible ether. Exactly how the forces that produce spots upon the sun affect the earth's weather is an unsettled question. There is a considerable amount of evi- dence for saying that such storms as our western tornadoes, the hurricanes of the West Indies and the typhoons of the China seas are far more numerous during sun spot maxima, and especially during the time that the spots are in- creasing in numbers, It has also been thought that wet and dry seasons are connected in some way with the sun spot cycle, but on this subject the evi dence is contradictory. Some statistics show that dry seasons accompany sun spots and others that wet seasons ac company them. But all of these things are really of little account in comparison with the great question of the effects produced upon the sun itself. The earth is a speck in the infinite vault of space, and we are smimated atoms living for the fraction of a moment upon that insignificant speck. OI"how great con- sequence in the vast scheme of the creation can the little questions that relate to our ephemeral comforts bel If a sum flame should lick us ughour disappearance from the universe, phys- ically comsidered, would be of less im- portance than that of the minutest drop of" water from the ocean. But if the sun: should disappear there would be a star gone from heaven. A part of the universe at least would notice its absence. Whatever threatens the existence of the sun, then, has an ap- preciable importance. The astronomer finds that the sun spots are sympto- matic of progressive changes which will eventually bring the sun's career to an end, and so he studies them not 'for the sake of finding out merely how they may affect our petty affairs, but in order to trace for his intellectal satisfaction the grand phenomena of the life and death of a star. And ln doing that he is pursuing the only course which can rescue man frow ob- livion, offsetting his material insignifi- cance and mothinguess with the rela: tive greatness of his mind. --Garrett P. v in Spokane Spokesman-Re- view, 1 The Blue Heron. prey with ite Dbill tnor does the loon: jt bites them, nips them between the long. sharp mandibles.

A Chinese, unlike an American, who would oppose other men's viewpoint till it ends in an altercation, is always courteous and answers a question with "Yes, yes, yes, yes." In case he dis- agrees with his opponent he will say: "Your homor will rake more time to reach a better conclusion. Your boner is quite right, but perhaps you may bave a wiser opinion later on. I, worth. less little brother, think somewhat dif- ferently from you. However, my ig- norant conclusion may be wrong and yours right. 1 beg your excellency to think over the matter." But oriental politeness has its bad aspect. It takes too much time. If a guest is leaving his host's door he has to turn his head and ask a dozen times that the host should not p 'him any farther. The same is true of tea drinking, and there is a great deal of ceremony between host and guest So it is with dinners and every social gathering. Even in fighting a duel one person--provided both are gentlemen-- will say to the other, "Pray hit me first." The other refuses and says, "Oh, no; please you hit me first." Politeness is especially manifested in the form of an invitation. Few Chinese go to an invited dinner on time; in- stead they delay for an hour or so. Polite in the extreme, although con- senting to accept the invitation, they would not go to dinner until pulled and dragged in a gently rough manner by their host. Knowing the habit of his guests, the host always turns out all the members of his family to drag one after another of his invited friends to the dinner. A youngster is often sent out by his mother to hunt their guests like a hound, and, finding them, drag them like mules to his mother's house. Observing such customs, foreigners usually laugh, but they laugh mistak- enly.--H. K. Tong in New York Inde pendent. KINGSLEY STAMMERED. And George Eliot Was a Bore, Accord- ing to Mrs. Walfogd. Mrs, Walford, the novelist, published some years ago a novel of memories of Victorian London, in which allu: sion is made to many persons in the world of letters. One of Mrs. Wal ford's acquaintances in the faroff days was Charles Kingsley: "One day Charles Kingsley came in, and we had an opportunity of seeing if he were like his photograph which bad been sent to Mary or not To own the truth it flattered him, as he is so very red in the face, perhaps from leading an out of door life in all weath- ers. * * * In ordinary conversation Mr. Kingsley stammers a good deal; but, being wonscious of it, hé has taken pains to overcome the defect by speak- ing very slowly--almost too slowly, for when we heard him make a speech on one occasion we felt inclined to goad him on it became so tiresome." "Tom Brown Hughes" Mrs, Walford described as "a man neither tall nor short, neither stout nor thin, with fair hair and blue eyes and a round, pleas- ant face." In 1876 Mrs. Walford first met George Eliot at the house of John Blackwood in Edinburgh, and concerning that oc- casion she says: . "Much 4id I look forward to that eve- ning, but--shall I confess it?--it endea in disappointment. * * * George Eliot, with her large head and rather horse: Mke face and por was not to me an attractive personage. * * * I had been set down beside the guest of the evening at her request * * * | and she had meant to be civil and kind. But bow heavily drave the wheels of her chariot! How interminably dragged that interview!" Some may wonder, says the West- minster Gazette, what George Eliot thought of Mrs. Walford.
