Frank Harbaugh, of Cincinnati, O., who has been a barber for more than forty years recently made the following statement: "Anyone can prepare a simple mix- ture at home, at very little cost, that will darken gray hair, and make it soft and glossy.

Apply to the hair twice a week, until the desired shade is ob- tained. This will make a gray haired person look twenty years younger.

Nothing at all corresponding to this really hap- pened. There was no iaitiative on the part of the Russian people; there Was no struggle, beyond the street. fighting in Petrograd, in which a few uundred men were slain: the Rus- sian ple has expressed neither as- sent" nor comment on the whole af- fair. It has simply done nothing, and let the whole thing slide. There is no cause for wonder in this, if we think for a moment, and realize what the "Russian people" really is. The population of what was the Russian Empire is 180,000,000; that the European Russia, leaving out Poland, is 136,000,000. Of thesa, some 110,000,000 live in country vil- lages, while less than 20,000,000 live in towns. Petrograd and Moscow have about 2,000,000 each: Riga, Odessa and Kiev have, among them, about 2,000,000; while the remaining 14,000,000 dwell in small towns sparsely sprinkled over nearly 2,000,- 000 square miles of plains. But the vast majority dwell in vil- lages of log huts, averaging fifteen or twenty families to the village. Their hearts and souls are wrapped up in the farming--the very primitive and ineffectual farming -- of thelr communal (ands, and they have little concern with anything else under heaven. In reality, they are not "Rus- sians,'"" in any clear national sense, for they have no developed patriotic feeling: they are simp? villagers, for the most part fumbling and illiterate villagers, and the only thing they really tare for is their land---of which they never think they have enough. The truth is that, because of poor farming and a hopeless communal terfire, they get very little out of their land; with a little knowledge, they might easily get twice as much; with individual owner:hip, they would, probably get three times as much. But they believe that the rem- edy is--more land, and fhey will blindly follow anyone who promises them that, as children respond to bribes of candy.--American Review of Reviews. The Masses Power of How Marbles Are Made. All bdys like marbles; but who knows hdw they are made, or where they come from? "Marbles," says the Chicago Herald, "are made in great quantities in Saxony, for export to India, China and America. A hard, calcerous stone is used. This is broken into sqfare blocks, and about 150 of these blocks are thrown into a mill, in which is a flat slab of stone with mumerous concentric fur- rows on its face. A block of oak of the same diameter as the stone, a part of which rests on the small stones, is made to revolve on the slab, while water flows upon it. The whole process requires but a quarter of an hour, and one mill can turn out twenty thousand marbles a week. So marbles are made going through the mill and getting the rough cor- ners rubbed off, the edges smoothed down, and the mass ground globular form. into men in much the same way, by being run through life's school, which is their "mill," until their rough cor- ners and edges disappear apd they become rounded and smoothed and fit for use in the world.

The only surbh way to get rid of dandruff is to dis- solve it, then you destroy it entirely To do this get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvom; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. ni By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will com- pletely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better. You can got liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff you have.
