' MASSENBURG HOTEL T r Massenburg- i Prop 7 Some years ago a number'of students in Europe were concerned in the charge which demonstrated the powerful ef fects of imagination. "In a frolic they, d.onned disguises and arrested another1 student, : whomTthey- tried in a theatrically-arranged '01 and dimly-lighted chamber,, and ; condemned .to . dealh. For . several hours they kept their horror-stricken Yictim in a darkened room, and, having jnforined hixn that he was.-' uo ucucaucu, yauuageu ills e Yea Uliu led hint T.tr anerparfanen . : ; ; A crowd was . assembled, but 're strained their mirth, as ttie victim of the practical, joke was forced to kneel down, and. placed his neck across' the spindle of a three-legged etooL They prepared for a great outburst of laugh ter as the' neck of the poor young fel low was touched with a slender cane; but, instead, had to shed tears of regret for the action, as immediately upon be ing touched .with the cane the young man fell dead.' v; ;.." A man had been cured of a somewhat serious illness, but had the misfortune to . consider himself dead, and Tef used to converse with his friends or take the food and stimulants they provided. . He was fast sinking when they hit upon a plan, and, hiring a coffin, they placed him inside, and with due formality pro ceeded to inter him in the dark coal cellar. Shortly afterward one of his friends was - carried into the cellar . also ! in a . coffin, 'which, in addition to his body, contained aliberal supply of wine and food. The man who be lieved himself dead was surprised when he saw his "companion corpse" sit up and feast upon the good things placed in the coffin. He remonstrated with him, but being informed that it was customary to indulge-in food in the world in which they were as well as in the world in which they had left, he joined in the feast. Shortly afterward he held rational conversation with his friend, and was soon recovered. A lady holding a high position in so ciety suddenly imagined that her hus band had sustained a serious financial reverse, and, notwithstanding the pro tests of her husband, set about adapting herself to the supposed change in her circumstances. She disposed of .her jewelry, discharged her servants and rented a small cottage and in its window displayed a card bearing the intimation that she was prepared to undertake plain sewing. Various devices were adopted by her anxious family to convince her of the actual state of her affairs, and ultimate ly a friend presented her with a check for many thousand pounds. This broke down her craving, and induced her to undertake a. prolonged journey on the continent. Her overstrained brain was restored to its normal condition though she always believed afterwards that she had been in straitened circumstances. The effect of pernicious literature upon the young lads has often been illustrated by disclosures in police courts, but it would scascely be believed that the sensational stories published by some "boys' journals" could" have serious effect upon the imagination of a man of over 60 years. Yet such act ually occurred in. the north of England. He""had spent a large portion' of his time in reading such "literature," and eventually came to the conclusion that he was fitted for a life of frolic and ad venture, like many another "hero." In the first stage of his vagaries he played tricks, such as were described in the stories, upon his neighbors, banging their knockers and ringing their bells, etc., and afterward he became an ama teur highwayman, having as the imple ments of his adopted profession a'small crape mask and a large horse pistol. . When he adopted his knickerbockers, culaway coat, slouched hat,- with the mask over his eyes and pistol under fiis arm, -he walked through a crowded thoroughfare in midday searching for some one to hold up.' He attracted a crowd, and was taken in charge by a friendly constable. He was cured of his powerful imagination by ridicule alone. "''' - - ' . " Another man came to the conclusion that he had lost his head, and was only convinced i that such-was not the case by having a "heavy lead kat, which had -been expressly made, placed upon it, and the pressure after a time made him understand that he had conceived an erroneous impression. Cincinnati En quirer. , -r' ' - . T- - A Course of .Treatment That WJ. QAn. -Beneficial Besults . ? It is .not necessarily a sign t of in cipient baldness or premature age when a, woman's hair in, the spring of the year, begins to f au out with amazing rapidity. This is an. "alarming mani festation, but one is moulting, changing the; heavy winter suit ior.. a lighter sprmg covering, and the .quantity, add quality of the new; growth depend very ; much on the discreet and careful treat-" ment! given one's head at this critical juncture. Deluging with more or less trustworthy tonics and panicky trips to the hair specialist are not of so much avail as simple home remedies, and all along in tbese days, when the sap is rising in tne trees, sensible women clip- wieir tressesonee m every is days. Tney merely trim the edges,-with a pair of very sharp scissors, and then" singe the raw ends over a candle flame. ) This has tsxacuy uie. same enecr as pruning , a nedge. It forces a fuller growth on the scalp.: . ; 7 Another word to the wise. In - the spring -wash your hair 'at least once every fortnight and don't wash it before going to bed, forhair must dry rapidly ana in the light. It is not only healthy to shampoo the head frequently, but at tms-tune of the year nothing so stim ulates the sprouting strands. Wash your head in a warm bath and use eithey castile or sulphur soap. If you don't care to use a soap, the next most cleansing process and invigorat ing, too is to "beat the yolk of an egg and pour it over the dry scaip. With your finger tipsrub this in, and then plunge your bead and tresses into the basin of tepid fluid, dashed with one teaspoonf ul of cloudy ammonia or bo rax. Directly the water crows discol ored, a fresh bath must be drawn and a basin of the clean fluid used, until the last one is quite cold and the scalp is quite free of sticky egg or soap suds. After wringing out the bulk of hair a couple of big Turkish towels, if used hot from hanging -before a fire, will all but completely dry the head. Hair washed in ammonia, borax, or even with, soap, though left-light and shiny from the effect of the egg, is apt io fluff and fuzz as though every strand had been separately through hot tongs. To allay this a little cocoa oil or any Vre grease ought to be rubbed into the scalp and a vigorous brushing put in train. Excessive dryness is indeed a peculiarity of many American women's hair, the result of our climate and rather second-class digestions, and to correct this a steady cocoa oil or grease treatment ought to be kept up for two or three months at a time, applying a very little of the emollient once in six or seven days and brushing it out in the length of hair. It is absolutely only by regular matu tinal grooming that dandruff can be kept down and that the gloss and color of hair is retained after, the vital juices of early youth are oeasiinsr to flow. It requires two brushes to do this busi ness well; one "meant only for the scalp, and this one must be a rubber affair. It is a new invention, the rubber brush. Back, handle and bristles are all of rub ber, pliable indeed, but sternly aggres sive, for the bristles get right down to first principles and stir the dandruff from its hitherto inaccessible strong holds. Moreover, the rubber brush is delightfully clean, for after use every morning it can be washed under the faucet and laid white and ry back on the dressing table. The second brush ought to be a conventional long handled, stout bristled affair, to use for stroking the length of hair, where the rubber one will not go and where the daily accumulation of dust, lint, straws and. thread is a matter shocking and astonishing to a dainty woman. What with this careful brushing add washing anyone's spring crop of ttair can be induced to come forth in unusual luxuriance and beauty of quality, but for the women who have long ignored the simple cleanly precautions for pre serving their hair and are in danger of having soon to thatch their crowns with borrowed tresses, a more rigid course of treatment must be followed.- Clip skimpy, fading, splitting hair once a week and every morning fill a basin with clear cold water and treat the head to a plunge bath. Dry out quickly and brush in a little oil, ever so little, not more than a couple of drops per morn ing. Provided the oil is pure any sort will do, and for as many hours as pos sible, wear the hair hanging loose or very lightly done up 4 with tucking combs. Detroit Free Press.

B!ii Them' OH at a ITeat Profit-. V :--A Bright Idea. I A wholesale brokerage in taxnpt'haa netted $300,000. a year and jthe business, has had a 17-years' history in Chicago, The publication of hundreds and hun dreds of papers of all sorts and circula tion gave birth to this absolute neces sity the cashing, of postage stamps in all quantities. , . 1 . f , k j Consider for a moment; 'In one day. When the, world's fair pictHiveoupon craze was at its craziest, one of Chica go's morning, dailies received $2,800 in postage stamps. : What ' could, be done with them? They were not ffood at the. banks.. The paper had no time to ped- ' die them, and the cash must be realized at once to run business or at least to save interest. ' Such a Btate of affairs, only of some what milder character, happening daily, nearly a score of years ago, came to the knowledge of one George ll. Owens, who was lookhag for something easy. Sweeping together some bits of capital into a bank account, Owens quietly circulated among the heavier stamp receiving business concerns of the town and bid all the way from 95 to '97 cents on the dollar for all the odd job lots of vault stored stamps that he could get track of. At first the tedious recount of the great quantities of stamps at the time of purchase was made with the aid of the merchant selling them. This, how ever, proved- a torment detached, wrinkled up and stuck together as most of the big lots were. After wastinsr of much valuable time on trrc part of their cashiers over what was everywhere con sidered an utter nuisance, the banks. newspaper offices and business houses gradually shifted the count on him al together save a cursory sizing up of the "pesky torments as they came in Owens simply called around, picked up the bundles of little government photos, gave his check for the count in dicated on the bundle, and when he got home, if there was a mistake, he charged it up to the customer, and it went-as a discount on the next deal, without a question. The same thing ruled, after a time, in the matter of the packages retailed.' They were paid for unhesitatingly, and any mistake his customers might afterwards speak of finding Owens would cheerfully allow. Thus absolute confidence was estab lished. Chicago mail order houses and new, paper counting rooms were not slow in advising their other city friends of the Chicago cure for the stamp curse, and thus the stamp broker was freely and without expense advertised from Maine to California, until after years of much profit the "old man" retired on his pile.

Opening upon the table before her a big envelope stuffed with all sorts of stamps; as they are brought from the merchant, the girl with one dexterous dash of her right hand sweeps the heap to a single stamp level; an instant, not more, she looks at them; then one fin ger darts through the broad lajer with evidently no more system than k streak of lightning, but that leaves the carpet of stamps looking like a colored map of Jthe United States. Another pass or two of the infinitely dexterous fingers, and the stamps are gone. Not 20 seconds have elapsed. What did she do? In that 20 seconds she counted, sorted, piled , and re- wrapped 5,000 unattached, mlxed-up stamps of three denominations.
