"There Is too much talking going on In

explains Father, "for the purpose of con
veying Ideas, but the average young
woman these days uses a great many words
and doesn't say much, either."
"A girls' college, Vassar, for Instance,
never could pull off a stunt like the West
Pointers put across," declares Sun, "None
of them oould keep the chatter In cold
storage long enough to hand the frosty

could ever Imagine a bunch of women
swearing off on the chin mutlc to make
one of their dear teachers feel badly.
It would tickle her to death to get a
chance to do all Uie talking herself."
"A great deal of idle gossip godv on
between married women that might be
omitted and the time thus wasted devoted
to more useful pursuits," suggest Father.
"The married ones would rather be dead
than not to be able to knock ail the other
women In the neighborhood," says Son.
"if one of their friends gets a hobble skirt,
buys one of those latest ding-a-ling lids

"A wife ouruiinly doeau't require any en
couragement from her husband In order to

"Anybody who has lived In one of these

agrees Son. "One word from the man of
the house slipped In edgeways Is likely to
start something besides talk. The wise
married guy makes a specialty of the great
silence act"
"No man can answer the questions pro
pounded by some women," asserts Father.

which were world-wide In their influence;

humiliating perhaps that Israel ever
paaaed thruush, and has well Ix on likened
to the J) ara of darkness which pre

he floated, acknowledging no higher law
than Idi o-n win.
In laed, it did seem that the glory of
li a.l had Cot-ttr dacirted. True, (Jideon,
Uie n.iiluy n:.in of valor had driven out
the Mu'ua:Ulea and given Israel a tempo

great mau appeared to stem the tide.
Inde.d. it louked as though It could not
tin done 6y anybody. Certainly not by
the so-called great; not by the preten
tious enterprises.
But there was a poor woman who
could do It. who Uvsd la an out-of-the-way
place. In en obscuro village on the moun
tain side. She was not a person who
could maka a parade; she sounded' no
trumpet; the led no crusade; championed
no reform,-, heralded no popular move

tha affections; education, which develops
the Intellect and broadens the horuton of
the mind. These are the three great
cords of might, the three great forces of
progress, the three great conservators of
civilization.
It Is natural when times are hard and
conditions unbearable for one to make
his appeal to Ood. So Hannah, In the

As a variation on these there Is tbe large

variety of shapes, all generally following
the mushroom type.
Brimmed turbans are seen, with upright

appnars, knt w not what to make of this
silent prayer; and supposing that the
won.an was Intoxicated, ordered her from
his presence. But when he saw that elm
was of a sorrowful spirit, he said, "The
God of Israel grant thee thy petition."
So, when all had lost faith In Clod, one
woman still believed In him. And when
she had prayed Hhe was no more ead.
She believed that Clod had heard her
prayer, and that he would answer It. She
left her prayer with him and her sorrows
at the altar and departed as happy as
though her petition had already been
answered.
Then, of course, there were others; for
there Is nothing so strong as faith. It
never dwells long alone; it attracts a com
pany and gathers a following. Man ever
rejoices to find the solid rock on which
his feet may rest. And so, when sixty-five
years had passed, and Hannah had long
been laid to rest, the faith of this poor,
praying woman began to tell; her sorrow
ful face had become a multitude, and we
read that all the house of Israel lamented
after the lord, saying, "We have sinned
against the Lord."
Thus the great revival became a fact,
far-reaching In its effects; and the Philis
tines, fearing that they might lose their
supremaoy, made Immediate preparations
for war. But the people said unto Samuel,
"Cease not to cry unto the Lord our God
for us," and as Ho on the mountain height
made suplicatlon they In the valley below
defeated and broke forever the power of
their ancient oppressors, who were never
again to lord It over the people of God.

reduced before it Is used, qual parts of the
soap and cologne make a combination
which Is cleansing, but, In my opinion,
should be used only on a scalp that is ex
tremely oily, for It will dry the roots.
One-fourth the amount of sweet almond
oil or (glycerine added to liquid green soap
would be better for a dry scalp, as it will
cleanse, and Uie oil will prevent undue
dryness. These preparation will not be
difficult to wash out If warm water Is ap
plied. One reason green soap Is valuable In
liquid form Is thst It Is purer than most
soaps, being merely a preparation of pot
ash. If soap in cake form 1 rubbed directly
on the hair and scalp the cleansing agent
comes off In little lumps that are difficult
to rinse out latsr. Incidentally, with hard
soap one section of the head may be
cleaner than another, and In the final rinse
all soap 1 not always removed. The re
sult of thla Is to create a sticky condition,
which Is trying, If not Injurious.
A woman who prefers certain kind of

that ruligion carries alon !tli It uil the
other plenums of clvilzalion. o. when
H.'innah prayed It was but natural that she
fhuuld mntr a sontt. It was a hymn that
she composed herself. Music, tlianks to
those fine spirits who have none before,
Is so common today that It Is not con
sidered a remnrkable thins that one should
inK. but in that duy people had ceased
to sink'.
I once heard a teacher In one of our gov
ernment Indian schools offer as on apology
for thn absence of music from the exer
cises the fact that the Indian oould not
sins- How oould he, after lixlng so long
without tiod In the dark? Hut It occurred
to me later that the reason why the Indian
In this school could not sing was because
they were not teaching him religion.
So It was In Hannah's day. One woman
hestan to sing. Soon all the people were
slnln. They had something to sing for;
thrre began to be something to live for;
their lives bgan to flow peacefully along
like a melody; there bvgan to be a har
mony In the soul and the voice oould not
but reveal the secret. Soon there was a
nation of singers; soon we hear the psaltry
and the harp, the solemn sound and that
great company called the Sweet Singers of
Israel. Soon there appeared the world's
greatest hymn book, whloh has been trans
lated into every language, an everlasting
heritage, expressing the joys and sorrows,
tho aspirations, the struggles, the vic
tories of the soul of man, and Bolaclng
weary hearts in, all lands and all times.
Third Education; Christian education;
not, of course, that knowledge which put

Christianity Is a great force and It Is
Its nature to propogate Itself. He would be
an anomaly. Indeed, who could hide this
celestial light In his own narrow breast
The first thing, therefore, that Christianity
does ou virgin soil, after planting a church,
la to plant a school beside It. Christianity
means education.
Bo the great thing that Hannah did was
to teach a boy, her own son Samuel; and
Samuel started a school at lUuiiah, just
as any of us would do were wo out In
some heathen place. It was, I suppose,
the first Sabbath sohool ever organised. It
broadened In time Into an Institution some
what resembling our public schools, and
so It became the germ of the educational
Institutions of the world. Here, In fect,
arose a great college, the forerunner of the
great universities of all Christian nations.
Here, too, was the first school of the
prophets, from which has come all our di
vinity schools, where our choicest youth
are trained for the gospel ministry, the vo
cation which. Is above all othors educational.
of boiling water and letting the mixture
stand where It will keep hot until the soap
dissolves. This when cold Is Jelly and may
be further reduced with water, or, being
soft, may be rubbed on.
. Any soap should be rubbed over the head
before the latter 1 put Into water. Be
fore applying the soap the hair must be
dampened so that suds will form and a
thorough rubbing given before washing.
If enough soap has been put on and the
rubbing 1 done properly all the dust Is
loosened and will wash out as soon as the
head Is held over a basin.
There Is never the slightest difficulty In
knowing when hair 1 clean, for after all
dust Is out, If the locks are squeezed In
the hands, there will be a slightly creaky
feeling not unlike that of silk stockings
when squeexed In .the hands. Until this
creaking Is felt more soap and more rinsing
must be given.
Drying Is always to be done In ths sun,
rubbing with soft towels. Artificial heat
should never be used.

It Is probable thrtt no other bureau In i
the government service wtll Increase so
rapidly In size and Importance in tlie ap
proaching decade as tho Interstate Com
merce conn lissum. Tlie enure tietul of
recent legislation l-.ns been toward a more
stringent regulation of railroads and other
common carriers of the country. The
commission was founded two decades ago.
It had comparatively little work to do
until the agitation of l!. which resulted
in the passage of the rate bill, lji.t winter
It was found advisable further to
strengthen the hands of the commission,
and It Is probable that during Ui next
two years Its rower will be greatly in
creased. The commission lows governmental super
vision over tlie common curriers of t'ie
United States. This Includes not only the j
railroads and steamboat lines, but express I
companies, the Pullman company and .no
telegraph, wireless ti legraph and tele-
phone lines of tlie country doing an In- !
terstate business. it also watches the
operation of the pipe lines of tho country
which carry petroleum. Tlie corporations
over w hich It has this supervision, enjoy I
an annual revenue of more than $!.,
tx,00O. The transportation lines hae a
mileage of more than 2.V).rt.i miles. Much1
of the time of the commission is taken up
in the Interpretation of Interstate com
merce laws for the benefit of shippers and
carriers. A court will not answer a
hypothetical question or decide an imagin
ary cas, but the Interstate Commerce
commission will turn aside from the red
tape of the low, and offers all parties
Interested the best Information it ran give.
If a question relates to matters of ' com
mon Interest or frequent rulings, the opin
ions of the commission are printed and
placed In the hands of ail who need them.
By this mean a comprehensive code of
rules Is In process of development, the
oiiservarvce of which operates to promote
Just and Impartial conduct on the part of
shippers and carriers.
The commission considers two classes of
complaints Informal and formal, -.e In
formal complaints may be filed by any
cltlxen having a grievance against a com
mon carrier. Tho commission Investigates
them conintainta In mn inf.m.i ... i
Vhey are found to De justified, It recom
mends to the carrier at fault that satis
faction be given to the complainant. These
complaints range all the way from an
alleged overcharge .or a. railroad ticket
to an unsatisfactory method of handling
thousands of tons of coal.
JfOrmal complaints may be filed only oy
aocredited attorney and they cover every
sort of subject from a, claim for repara
tion. Involving a few dollars, to a com
plaint against the entire freight handling
system of a given carrier. In tne Investiga
tion of formal complains some H hear
ings a year are held, and In tnese hearings
more than 80,000 pages of testimony is
taken. The commission, or its various
members, visit dlfierent parts of the
country and hold as many hearings as
posrible. If the press uie of business re
quires It, this duty may be performed by
special agent designated by the com
mission. The enforcement of the law reuuirina
railroads to equip their cars with safety
appliances Is entrusted to the commission.
This law has worked admirably in pro
tecting railway- employes, as is shown by
the fact that In lm seventy-seven out of
each thousand men in the service were in
jured, as compared with Bixteen out of
each thousand in 11)09. The railroads long
opposed the proposition that they should
be required to equip their trains with power
Drakes and automatic couplings, but they
now admit that this equipment is as much
to their Interest as to that of the employe.
The commission is now Investigating the
question of the substitution of tlie tele
phone for the telegraph in train dispatch
ing. These investigations show that wher
ever tho telephone has been tried It has
demonstrated it superiority over the tele
graph. It also has been charged with the Investi
gation of block signals and other accident
preventing apparatus In train operation.
A board of practical railroad men bus beon
organized, whose duty it la to Investigate
the various systems of block signaling and
tli various Inventions for automatically
stopping trains. This board has come to
the conclusion that only one typo of auto
matic train control s feasible. This Is the
Closed circuit electrical control. Under such
system the signaling apparatus must
stop the train when It Is out of order, as
well as when dunger threatens. If an open
circuit apparatus were used. It might got
out of order and the signals would continue
to display the signs of safety. Thus, if a
bad boy were to cut a signal wire on the
open circuit the somlphore would continue
to signal safety beyond. But where that

pl .-s of the block signal board Is one for
Uie nut Miiutic stopping of trains. This
consists of a lover projecting up from ona

engine. When it is necessary that a train
I t stopped, all that Is necessary Is for the
Hoik operator to set the truck lever In po
sition, snd the steam will be cut off auto
niaiically. The commission also has charge
(f the enforcement of tlie law which re
quires nil locomotives to lie provided with
nsli-puiis. These ash-pan are Intended,
to prevent the scanning of cinders along
the right of way and resultant fires. It
also attends to tlie enforcement of the
law which requires that railroad employe
wotk no more than a stated number of
hours in each twenty-four. In many cases
It was tlie fault of the employe rather than
the railroad company thst long hours wore
observed by the men. The ..opportunity to
make extia pay sunt many u trainman
over the road when a'nio:.t dead for leip.
The piesont luw prevents that, and In
sures tho traveling public gt eater safety.
Ono of the duties of the Interstate Com
merce commission Is to supervise the ao
counts of all railroads. Ke.ilizing that un
less a uniform sjstcifi of accounting was
established, there could be no efficient sup
ervision of tlie operation of the railroads,
t'ongie's clothed the Interstate Commerce
commission with authority to require the
institution of a uniform syst in of ac
counting. Every common carrier In the
country Is required to furnish the commis
sion with annual reports disclosing cer
tain Information as to Its operation. .
The railroads and other common car
riers are required to file with the com
mission notice of every chuiige of rate
at least thirty days before t hut ruto goes
into efect. This infoi tnutlon is at all
times accessible to tlie public, and It Is
declared that the provision for the post
lug of railroad rates has resulted In
great benefits both to the carriers and the
shippers. One firm estimates that where
its accounts of suspended claims, await
ing adjustment by the railroad, amounted
to tl(X),000 a year In the. past, they now
amount to loss than tlO.Otu. In co-operation
with the railroad commissions of ths
various states, the Interstate Commerce
commission has succeeded In Inducing the
lallroads to establish uniform demurrage
rules. Under . theso rules It Is unlikely
that there will be another car shortage
such as occurred a few years ago. '1 he
prompt return of empty cars will be
equivalent to the addition of loO.OuO car
to the rolling stock of the country. 1
Although tho duties ' of tho Interstate
Commerce commission are many and
varied, It Is piobable that the next year
or two will sou them greatly Increased,
One amendment being urged by tlie com
mission looks to the physical valuation of
the railroads. There has been much dif
ficulty In the enforcement of the "rea
sonable rate" provision of the interstate
commerce law, because there has been no
way to arrive at a Judicial valuation of
tlie ra. road s physical property. In the
cpo. . ,.c case" the engineers of the rall
iouus icslitied that It would cost a Oor
lam amount to reproduce those roads,
two years later they were testifying again
upon the banie question and this Urns
their figures upon the cost of reproduction
were 2b per cent more than those of
fered in thoir former testimony. In a
recent state rate controversy the rajl
rouds teslifed lliat It would cost $100,000
a mile to reproduce their properly. Only
a few months before they had sworn to
the tax collector that thuso properties
could be reproduced for (J0,ou0 a mile.
In time thu commission probably will
be given Jurisdiction over the question of
capitalization.. The constitution of the
United States provides that no person
shall be deprived of his property without
due process of law, and the courts have
held that he has under this a constitu
tional right to a fair return on his In
vestment. So lung as the law allows met)
to purchase roalruud slocks that have
.water In them, Just so long, the commis
sion holds, will tho public be compelled to
pay transportation rates which yield a
fair return on the water, as well as on the
Intrinsic value of the stook. i If theua iwn
amendments to the laws of common cur-
tiers are passed by congress Uio commis
sion believes the great problems of
American rale making will liaVe been
solved. """
