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.-'

; 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

? 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.

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.

Most of the stamps handled are ones,
twos and threes; other denominations
only as the broker has customers for
them. -Grat- quantities of Canadians
are trafficked, showing an immense
mail order trade for Chicago with Can

over the country cash $1,000 worth of
stamps every few days at either 98 cents
or 99 cents, and are glad of the chance.
After reaching the broker's hands
there is but one feature of interest con
nected with the repacking of stamps for
retail delivery. This is absolutely won
derful counting by sight that is done
by the girls who attend to this part of
the work. .
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. It was
without question the' most marvelous

nessed and he has seen many of the
famous United States treasury "fin per

instance was done entire iy with the eye
