CIVILIANS CENSURING HEROES OF ACTION. The theory and practice of war as Gen. Miles understands it and the art of smashing an enemy's ships before breakfast or pounding them to pieces fn the blinding smoke of action as understood and demonstrated to the world’s entire satisfaction by Dewey and Schley do not wholly meet the ap- proval of Secretary Root. Mr. Root has theorles of his own about such matters, and he does not find that the conduct of the heroes of Manila and Santiago fully answers the exacting requirements of his theories. As the Morning World says: Mr. Root {s a corporation and trust lawyer who was appointed to the head of the War Department solely tor political reasons. He 1s absolutely without any mil- nor ftary or naval training or experience. He never “set @ squadron in the feld saw oneontne water. Yet he has the colossal impudence to reprimand Gen. Miles, the hero of a hundred battles, for ¢ of Admiral Dewey, the hero of Mantia, that Admiral Schley was in actual com- ‘essing his willingness to accept the judgment mand at the battle of Santiago and was the hero of that affair. Thus with one eweeping censure does this knight of the quill condemn three of the bravest, most experienced and most successful fighters on land and sea that this nation has ever produced! It is an extraordinary spectacle—extraordinary even in a Republic where civil authority reaches its climax—that “the opinion of an amateur fn war should be added to tho sophistications of a lawyer in condemning the action and judgment of these three veteran commanders. “Matches are made In heaven.” “Oh, that proverb was Invented before the Match Trust began to get in its fine work. AN ADMIRABLE LOVER FROM DELAWARE. The perilous trip of young Harry Lawrence Lack from a sick-bed in Milford, Del., to a sick-bed in the Fifth Avenue Hotel, undertaken to keep « his engagement of marriage with Miss Ella Prettyman, {s a fine example of loverlike devotion. It is recommended to the attention of young Dorin, of Quincy, Ill., the weak-kneed swain whose absurd self-consclousness has thrice led him to disappoint Miss Parsons after the guests had been bidden to the ceremony. Mr. Lack was so dangerously {11 that his Ife was despaired of and he urged the trip against the advice of his physician. The journey was made in a spectal car and every precaution taken to alleviate the patient's suffer- ings. Bolstered up with pillows and fortified with stimulants, he reached his destination in a state of approaching collapse; but the brave-hearted “ youth kept his word and the knot was tied as he lay in bed supported in the arms of his nurses. It was a plucky performance, not so theatrical as riding up on a foam-flecked steed to steal away an unwilling bride, but " nevertheless an act of true Lochinvar-like love. “Cholly proposed to me tast night.” “I was afraid he'd do something foolish after I rejected him.” THE CASE OF GLENNON. The conviction of Glennon {s not all, but it is much. Justice has not yet mounted to the very top, but she is well up the ladder, and some of the cul- Prits on the upper rurgs are almost within reach. A little further extenston i her hand will nearly touch the soiled uniform of “the best Chief of Po- ce New York ever had” and cause the real head of the Vice Trust, just above, to shrink further into the shadow. It is a notable triumph of decency and morals and a very fine first fruit > of reform. The transformation of the insolent Glennon of last week, secure in his assurance because he was “next to Devery,” Into the dejected Glennon of to-day, his bluff broken down and his first step toward the Penitentiary taken, {s a striking practical demonstration of what may be accomplished tor good government. “Is his tongue loose?" “Cnly when he ts tight.”* THE SMALL INVESTORS’ LOSSES IN COPPER. A distressing feature of the copper war is the loss suffered by small in- vestors in the exceselve fluctuations of the stock while it hag been ham- mered in the market. Mr. Casey has had a lively time of it wreaking his revenge for the slight done to his self-importance, but it has been rough on the little fellows who had been indulging in Golconda dreams of af- fluence. Tho World's despatches show losses by humble speculators in all jthe larger cities—household rainy-day funds wiped out, widows’ mites of {n- surance swallowed up, and in some instances, as in Boston, the luckless @peculator's life lost, too, by suicide. Tt may be eald that it Is largely their own fault, because they gambled— putting up a small margin for a large block of stock in preference to buying a emall block outright. But such a charge rests on a cheap sort of superior virtue. If all the gains made by some kind of gamblins were to be wipod out in a night, it is to be feared that we should come near having a bank- Tupt nation. Observe that the Rubber Trust {s the first of the great industrial com- Dinations to abandon gum-shoe methods of secrecy and adopt a policy of publicity.

Have used patent medicines without success. GRAY HAIR. Personally, I think It best to have the halr stained by a competent and skilful hatr-dresser. I give you a formula which T am cred- ibly told will turn any hair back to Its original color, You might try It. This formula was given to a friend of mine by her physician, and she has used it with astounding success. It contains some ingredients which I object to, but inasmuch as the doctor who gave {t to the lady to whom I refer {s a gentleman of very high standing, and as he Insists it Is harmless, I think you may use It with conildence. Sugar of lead, one-half ounce; lac sul- phur, one-half ounce; essence of berga- mot, one-half ounce; alcohol, one-half Gill; glycerine, three ounces; tincture of cantharides, one-half ounce; ammonia, one-half ounce. Mix all in one pint of soft water. Apply with a soft brush, Her Face Is Too Fall. Dear Mrs. Ayer: Kindly advise me whet to do for a very fall fare, At one time my face was quite thin, but of late ft Ie getting stouter every day. Also what can I do for blackheads? DM. K. It {s natural to some persons to h: what you call a full face. The contour of the face may be changed by skilful massage. I know of no other treatment. I give you Instructions for the re- moval of blackheads: ‘The only real cure I know of for blackheads !s the use of the camel’s-hair face-scrubbing brush with warm water and a pure hygienic soap, Use the camol'e-hair face-scrub- bing brush every night. Immerse the brush in warm water, rub the soap on ft untif you get a good lather, scryb the face for a moment or two, rinse shor- oughly with clear warm water, thea apply a good cold cream or skin food. All this should be done at night just be- fore going to bed. If you have the cor- rect brush it may make the face a little tender for a day or two, but not longer. When the Halr Falls Out, Dear Mrs, Ayer: My hair ts very light brown, fine of texture and very olly, It 1s falling out dreadfully. Please end mo a recipe for falling hatr. ELE You should have scalp massage. This treatment will arrest falling halr almost immediately, Shampoo your halr once a week with the shampoo for which i give you for- mula, and use the resorein tonic for which I also give you recipe: Witch hazel, 2 ounces; alcohol, 2 ounces; dis- tilled water, 1 cunce; resorcin, 40 grains. Try the following ¢xg shampoo: Yolk of one egg, one pint of hot rain water, one ounce of {spirit of rosemary; beat tho mixture up thoroughly and use it warm, rubbing it well into the skin-ef the head. Rinse thoroughly in several waters. This wash is good for danérufs where the ordinary shampoo falls.
