MONDAY EVENIN the Scene of Amusements Dear i =i to Englishmen. } In Hyde park, London, nearly every ‘game and sport known to the Eoglish ‘héis been practiced at one tlme or an- iother. In 1550 the French ambassa- 4dor bunted there with the king. In 1578 the Duke Casimir “killed a bar- ireni doe_with his plece in Hyde park from among 300 otber deer.” In the weign of Charles 1 the park became ! «celebrated for its foot and horse races sound the ring, the “dusty mill-horse drive,” as Luady Malapert ealls it. “Shall we make a fiing to London,” wrote Richard Browe, “and see how the spring appears there in the spring | gardens; and In Hyde park, to sce the races, horse and foot; to hear the Jockles crack?” il Racing in the ring was one of the greatest attractions in the park, and eome of the meetings were thought . 10 be of grent lmportance, as even ; amwong the state papers there is pre- | served the agreement for a race that | Charles I mixed ' took plsce there. freely Wwith his subjects on these occa- gions, bnt, Jooking on the royal park @8 bis own possecesion, he once ordered ithe @jectton of a Berkshire squire, whom he referred to as an “ugly r: ¢al.” The ‘“ugly rascal” the phrase. He weant away- quletly, but vowed vengeance, and graduall embitiered the whole of his country :ageinat the king. He had, indeed, his revenge, for writ large on Charles I's 'deaty warrant was the name of the “ugly raseal.” 'HDEE TiiAN MERELY ORATOR WL Crocke, English Labor Leader, 8 | * Man of Most Remarkable Personality.

Unfavorabic conditions were general dnd fallure in one part usual- Iy 1aeant failure throughout the coun- iry. And only one or two crops were depended upon. Another cause of those apcient frun- ines and of ome of the famines in Eu- rope during the Middle ages, was waut of weans of transportation. The land where famine prevailed might not be | more distant than a hundred miles from a district where there was plenty, but it was impossible to carry some of the abundance of the latter to the stricken country, or carry it in sufficient quantities and with sufil- clent dispatch to succor the necdy. One of tlie great nssurances against waunt are our means of transporta- tion—the steamship and the railway, which megke available the whole world's supply of food. Why Hats Cause Baldness. | It ! necessary for the hair to have | sufictent ajr und good circulation of the blood as it is for the body. Both must “breathe,” and both must be sup- plied with blood to carry ‘oft impuri- ties. In the case of hair, the blood is supplled through tiny velns situated around the roots and any tight baud around tho upper portion of the head will cause the hajr to die and fall out. The construction of men's hats ls | such that they press rather tightly | upon the forchead and the bulging ‘ portion of the head at the back, thus {impending free cireylation of the biood. s The connection between a man’s hat i and his baldness is clear frem the fact !that therc are but few men who. are {! entirely bald. Most of them have a lifrhnge around the cars and the lower i portion of the back of.the head, parts Iwhich are not covered by their hats. | nently asks, when the ice began to dis- | appear, or had half disappeured, or | its glaciers, and so have Labrador, the Rockies, Alaska and islands i the | glacial period eunded for, } Iroquois, for its trees belonged to a { cold, tewperate climate. ! there was more than one ice age, no tor six, or a dozen. for the matter of i them. the breeches had assumed enormous ! - | tunately, 'tnjurles. | ment, the polished faced hammer has | GLACIAL PERIOD IN DISPUTE | Ample Evidence That It Existed, but | the Question Is, When .Did < It End?
