ETIQUETTE OF WIGS. Bald Men, With Care, May Complete the Illusion They Seek. The baldheaded man who is not resigned to his fate and who is posted on the etiquette of wig wearing adorns himself with a faithful copy of nature which simulates his poverty instead of her wealth, says the Chicago Tribune. For an artistic wig for a man is usually made thin or nearly bald on the crown, so as to allay suspicion. When the wig is adjusted to the man's head, the pink scalp shows through the white net of foundation at the crown, thus leaving a modest suggestion of baldness. This is the first principle of the etiquette of wig wearing—claim too little rather than too much of nature's covering. This principle is carried to a refinement of perfection by the man who can afford the luxury of buying several wigs, for he may then make the transition from baldness to a semblance of his former self cover a space of two or three years and thus complete the deception, which is the aim of all wearers of wigs. A cardinal point in the etiquette of wig wearing is that one should not wear his wig in bed. It is not proper. Some, either from motives of extreme vanity or from an unwillingness to shock the delicate sensibilities of their families, sleep in their wigs. This practice is condemned unhesitatingly. It is unclean. One should substitute for the wig worn during the day a simple nightcap of muslin, to insure one against taking cold. In the morning, as the last touch of perfection to the toilet, the wig should be delicately adjusted and then glued to one's head. If this adjustment is carefully made and if one is wearing a really fine wig he may defy both wind and sunlight to betray that "things are not what they seem." This careful adjustment of the wig is a most important point. It requires eternal vigilance, since a single careless adjustment means ruin. Along the edge of the wig of ordinary size are five spots about half the size of a penny where the paste or glue is applied with which the wig is made fast to the head. The paste must be carefully applied, since it comes in contact with the hair it destroys its life-like appearance. A practice generally observed by the wearers of fine wigs is that of dressing the hair in a variety of ways. This is desirable, since it suggests a natural head of hair, yet this practice is perfectly possible with a really fine wig, every hair of which is separately at- FACTS ABOUT ANAHEIM. Sketch of the industries and Resources of the Most Beautiful Part of California. The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2600, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 41 miles from the foothills, and 148 feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds. Annaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association, Water company, two railroads, fruit cannery and drier, large oil industry, ostrich farm, bank, several adequate commercial houses, two hotels and two newspapers. The city also owns Dog Cemetery of Paris. Paris has a dog cemetery on an island in the Seine. A plain grave without a headstone may be had for $1, and the body is removed on a little wagon for a similar sum. The graves are leased, not sold. The charge for five years' lease is $5, for ten $10, for twenty $15 and for thirty $20. Very stringent rules forbid the use of ceremonies or decorations such as are used at funerals. No cross may be erected over an animal or bird, for all pets may be interred here. The inscriptions are of a curious and exaggerated sentimentality. Tola Dorian, the author, says on her pets' tombstone that if she "cannot accompany the dear and noble animals she does not wish for heaven," and on "Follette's" grave a mourner has placed these words: "My dear Follette, thou who wert always faithful and intelligent, we regret the much; repose in peace." Near the entrance to the cemetery stands a row of battered stones from graves of which have expired. A Practical Mind. The teacher was endeavoring to give the class some idea of the greatness of this country in a commercial sense. "Take the egg product alone," she said. "It is estimated that if all the eggs produced in the United States last year were loaded into one railway train, when the engine was pulling into Newark, N.J., the caboose would just be leaving Davenport, Ia." "This seems hard to realize," she continued, "but the statistics are compiled by a well known authority." A little boy raised his hand. "What is it, Donald?" asked the teacher. "I don't believe it's true, Miss Adair," he said. "One engine couldn't pull that train." A Scandal Spoiled. "Of course he and his wife seem devoted to each other now," said the jealous Miss Gaussip, "but do you think she will always be so true and all that?" "Well," replied Miss Kidder, "I have reason to know that only last night he had occasion to set a trap for her." "Ah! Do you know, I suspected something—" "They more than suspected. They knew there were mice in the house."—Philadelphia Press. Strange, Though Not Matchless. "Cheroot is really the most marvelous smoker I ever knew." "Hundred cigars a day or something like that?" FACTS ABOUT ORANGE CO. The census bureau has issued a bulletin on agriculture in California which we quote from extensively in another part of this issue. One of the interesting features of the report is the paragraph giving the number of farms and acres of farming lands in the five Southern California counties. The pre-eminence of Orange county is apparent: Counties. No farms. Acres. Los Angeles .6577 805,963 Orange .2288 599,486 Riverside .2340 427,097 San Bernardino .2350 219,132 San Diego .2698 809,419 But it is in the acreage of irrigated lands that Orange county takes easy precedence over the other counties of Southern California: Counties. Acres. Los Angeles .88,614 Orange .41,549 Riverside .32,947 San Bernardino .37,877 San Diego .16,022 The area of Orange county is 780 square miles; that of Los Angeles, 3880; that of Riverside, 7008; that of San Bernardino, 20,055, and that of San Diego, 8400 square miles. Orange county thus contains one-fifth the area of Los Angeles; yet its irrigated lands approach in area to one-half those of its neighbor to the north. Riverside embraces nine times its area, yet it irrigates 9000 more acres, or a fourth more than the belauded county on the east. San Bernardino is 25 times its size, yet its irrigated acres exceed those of this jumbo county by nearly 4000, approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times its size, yet it irrigates 25,000 acres more than the county on the south—300 percent is the former's irrigated area as compared with that of the latter—almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined. Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights, that exist in Southern California. That is what we have said many a time and oft. These figures prove it. It is the handsomest and most productive county that lies outdoors and is settling up faster than any other in the State. Hope without action is doer.—Feltham. Cancer Cured Mr. W. W.

The maharajah of Travancore was, on one occasion at least, worth his weight in gold, for he was weighed against a pure mass of the king of metals, and, after the scales were balanced, the mass of gold was distributed in charity. This custom, called "Tulabhara," is one of great antiquity and is said to be traceable in Travancore to the fourth century. It is not unknown in other parts of India, though, of course, gold is only used in the case of wealthy persons, humbler folk being content to weigh themselves against spices or grain. On the occasion mentioned the maharajah weighed a little over nine stone. The Brahmans, it is said, wished to defer the ceremony in the hope that the maharajah might more nearly approach the weight of his father, who did not undergo the rite until forty-seven years old, when he weighed fourteen and three-quarter stone.—Golden Penny. It Was All Arranged. A London barrister used to tell of an instance that occurred in his own experience of trial by jury in Wales. A well known local solicitor named Garnons was concerned in a case. While counsel was addressing the jury its members quietly turned from him, put their heads together, and then the foreman addressed the judge, "It's no use, my lord, for the gentleman in the wig to talk any more, as we agreed in the Blue Lion last night to vote for Mr. Garnons of Rhiwgoch." Dragging Pains 2825 Keeley St., Chicago, Ill., Oct., 2, 1902. I suffered with falling and congestion of the womb, with severe pains through the groins. I suffered terribly at the time of menstruation, had blinding headaches and rushing of blood to the brain. What to try I knew not, for it seemed that I had tried all and failed, but I had never tried Wine of Cardui, that blessed remedy for sick women. I found it pleasant to take and soon knew that I had the right medicine. New blood seemed to course through my veins and after using eleven bottles I was a well woman. Mrs. Bush is now in perfect health because she took Wine of Cardui for menstrual disorders, bearing down pains and blinding headaches when all other remedies failed to bring her relief. Any sufferer may secure health by taking Wine of Cardui in her home. The first bottle convinces the patient she is on the road to health.

In a short time the cancer came out, my face THE DESIRE FOR STORIES. From the “Once Upon a Time” Stage to “That Reminds Me.” Our earliest instinct is to ask for a story, our latest to tell one unasked. Human life is bounded at either end by a phrase; “once upon a time” at one end, “that reminds me” at the other. Above the first instinct we rise gradually, gradually declining to the second. Not that the narrative sense ever dies in us; only that in the plenitude of our powers we are not satisfied with a story that is nothing more than a story, a narrative for narration's sake. The mind of a child is all agape for facts, for it is empty, and nothing is so quickly filling, so easily assimilable, as a dish of facts. Facts of fiction are preferred by the child to actual facts because they satisfy also its strong imaginative sense. Its moral and intellectual senses are still in abeyance. Deuce from any story “a moral” or an idea, and the child runs away rudely. There lies the difference between us and it. Our moral and intellectual senses are flourishing, and by their strength our imagination is proportionately weakened. Grimm is not enough for us. Our moral sense cries aloud for Hans Andersen. Dumas leaves us cold. Our mind needs Balzac. It is not enough for us that once upon a time there were three princesses or three musketeers who suffered or did some queer things. We want those triads to illustrate, to symbolize, to mean something, to corroborate or upset some theory that we have formed, to quicken our mind and affect our conduct. Such are the prime needs of our maturity. Comes Time, mowing away with his scythe our intellectual and moral curiosity; nor does he restore to us our old imagination. He crops us bare of all but experience. Things that have happened—especially, old egoists that we are, the things that have happened to ourselves—are the only things that rouse us from our lethargy. “Anecdotage” is an ugly phrase. “Second childhood,” less harsh, is not less exactly descriptive. For our last state, the state where narrative is absolute despot, was our first state too—Max Beerbohm in Saturday Review. WHY HE WASN'T PROMOTED He watched the clock. He was always grumbling.

Out of the everywhere into the here. Where did you get your eyes so blue? Out of the sky as I came through. What makes the light in them sparkle and spin? Some of the starry spikes let in. Where did you get that little tear? I found it waiting when I got here. The fact is as sad as it is true that the baby finds the tear waiting to dull its blue eyes, and stain its soft cheeks. At the first it "has no language but a cry." Its one necessity is but to give expression to its suffering, and for that a tear suffices. The mother who stoops in anguish over the wailing child would do anything to ease its suffering. But she is helpless. The time when she could have done so much for her child is past. She did not realize that in those anxious nervous days when she shrank from the ordeal of motherhood she was preparing suffering for the baby. The path of motherhood is soothed and made easy for those who use Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It gives physical buoyancy and mental brightness. It tranquilizes the nerves, encourages a healthy appetite and induces refreshing sleep. It gives the mother strength for her hour of trial, and the confidence and content which come from strength. It makes the birth hour practically painless, and by increasing the natural food secretions, it enables the healthy mother to enjoy the happiness of nursing her child. "Favorite Prescription" contains no alcohol, neither opium, cocaine, or any other narcotic. A Mother's Gratitude. "I would like to express my gratitude to you for the benefit I have received from your wonderful medicine." writes Mrs. H. C. Anderson, of South Britain, New Haven Co., Conn.(Box 33). "During the first month of your pregnancy, I would not keep anything on my stomach. Was so sick that I had to go to bed and stay for weeks. I tried different doctors, but with little benefit. I read about many being helped by taking it trial. I began to take your Favorite Prescription" in November and I had a nice little girl baby in February following. My baby weighed over eight pounds. I was only sick about one hour, and got along nicely afterward; and up and dressed on the eighth day. I never had the doctor with me at all; just thought that I was sick a very short time. I think Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is indeed a true mothers friend; if it helped我 wonderfully. This makes my second child, with the first one I did not take 'Favorite Prescription.' The little one lived just about two months and she was sick all the time last baby is as plump and healthy as any mother could wish. Much Better Health.

WHY HE WASN'T PROMOTED He watched the clock. He was always grumbling. He was always behindhand. He asked too many questions. His stock excuse was "it forgot." He wasn't ready for the next step. He did not put his heart in his work. He learned nothing from his blunders. He chose his friends among his inferiors. He was content to be a second rate man. He ruined his ability by half doing things. He never dared to act on his own judgment. He did not think it worth while to learn how. He thought it was clever to use coarse and profane language. He initiated the habits of men who could stand more than he could. He did not learn that the best part of his salary was not in his pay envelope.-Success. Speed of Birds. Frequently arguments arise as to the speed with which wild birds fly, and many men of science have sought to determine something about it. Naturally it is impossible to fix the record made by such birds as grouse, quail and snipe when they first arise, but it is safe to say that they are not going one-half as fast as the luckless gunner who misses them imagines.With the migratory fowls of known fast flight, such as ducks and geese, something more nearly accurate is known.The green winged teal is about the speediest of them all It does something like ninety miles an hour as readily as a sparrow dives into an inviting rain-spout.The canvasback is only a trifle slower, probably eighty-five miles being its limit, while the black duck, mallard and redhead fall below this, being timed at about eighty miles Still this is plenty fast enough to insure lots of misses unless the fellow with the gun looks down the rib straight and pulls the trigger at the right time. Elephants and Mice. An elephant is usually afraid of any small animal to which it is unaccustomed.A dog or cat, and sometimes even a mouse, will cause him annoyance, especially if it runs between the animal's legs.The noise of a mouse running through the hay will often cause an elephant to become excited,但 I have never known or heard of a mouse getting on an elephant's trunk.The terrors of the mouse to a larger animal is an old story,and many foolish superstitions have arisen from it.-St.Nicholas.

FAVORITE AGES OF WOMEN. They Appear to Range Between Sixteen and Twenty-four Years. It may seem strange that women have preferences for particular ages. An inspection of the census, however, leaves no room for doubt that certain years are preferred and certain other years disliked by the members of the gentler sex. Of children fourteen years and under the number of boys is nearly 400,000 greater than the number of girls; at fifteen the boys are still 6,000 ahead of the girls; at sixteen the girls are 6,000 the more numerous, and each year thereafter until the twenty-fourth there is an excess of women over men. The favorite ages within these limits are eighteen and twenty. There are 24,000 more misses of eighteen than there are boys of that age, and the young ladies twenty years old exceed their masculine companions by 54,000. At twenty-four and twenty-five the numbers of the two sexes are nearly equal. Then the women begin to grow less with great rapidity. The most unpopular ages are thirty and forty. At the former age there is a difference of 78,000 between the two sexes; at the latter 88,000. One peculiar circumstance is that there are more women twenty years old than there are girls of thirteen or fourteen' or any age up to twenty. This fact conclusively demonstrates that twenty is a very healthful age. But if the younger ages are unhealthy, where did the increased number who are twenty years old come from? No women are born that old. Only an unusually elastic theory can account for these peculiarities with becoming gallantry to the lovelier sex—J. S. Gilham in Ladies Home Journal. Much Better Health. Mrs. Annie Blacker, 699 Catherine Street, Syracuse, N. Y., writes: "Your medicines have done wonders for me. For years my health was very poor; I had four mislaps; but with me at all just the nurse and one of two friends. My friends thought that I was sick a very short time. I think Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is indeed a true 'mother's friend,' for it helped me wonderfully. This makes my second child; with the first one I did not take 'Favorite Prescription.'

Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription establishes regularity, dries weakening drains, heals inflammation and ulceration, and cures female weakness. It cures headache, backache, nervousness, sleeplessness and other consequences of womanly disease. "Favorite Prescription" makes weak women strong, sick women well. Accept no substitute for the medicine which works wonders for weak women. $500 Reward FOR WOMEN WHO CANNOT BE CURED. Backed up by over a third of a century of remarkable and uniform cures, a record such as no other remedy for the diseases and weaknesses peculiar to women ever attained, the proprietors and makers of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in legal money of the United States, for any case of Leucorrhea; Female Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling of Womb which they can not cure. All they ask is a fair and reasonable trial of their means of cure. Their financial responsibility is well known to every newspaper publisher and druggist in the United States, with most of whom they have done business for over a third of a century. From this fact it will readily be seen how utterly foolish it would be for them to make the above unprecedented and remarkable offer if they were not basing their offer on curative means having an unparalleled record. No other medicine than Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription could possibly "win out," as the saying goes, on such a proposition. But they know whereof they speak. They have the most remarkable record of cures made by this world-famed remedy ever placed to the credit of any preparation especially designed for the cure of woman's peculiar ailments. This wonderful remedy, therefore, stands absolutely alone as the only one possessed of such remarkable curative properties as would warrant its makers in publishing such a marvelous offer as is above made in the utmost good faith.

I noted a great improvement before the first bottle was all used. Was suffering with almost every pain that a woman is subject to: had inflammation of ovaries, painful and suppressed periods, and other symptoms of female disease.
