The ambition of the barbers of the United States senate to possess them salves of a hnlr mattress msde of the hirsute clippings of their dignified pa trons seems likely soon to be realized, ■ays the Washington Star. It was a long time ago that these barbers, it Is alleged, entered Into a conspiracy to have a little graft in common with the practice In other walks of life, official and otherwise. They aimed high in fact, at the very heads of their august customers—and began at once to save the hair clippings that were ordinarily gathered up and sent to the waste heap. Not only will they have a use ful article when they succeed in their purpose, but they will possess the strangest hair mattress in the world. They will be able to sell it, If they desire, with a certificate, their signa tures witnessed^ by a notary public, declaring even the names of distin guished statesmen w T ho contributed to their hair graft. The barbers since they determined upon this campaign for a senatorial hair mattress have naturally had their preferences for well haired senators, and bald men have little standing with them. Various halls of fame have been erected and dedicated to men of high accomplishments, but It Is doubt ful If any hall of fame ever included more distinguished names than this mattress of fame, the sole qualifica tion of which has been a seat In the senate and a bunch of good hair. The barbers were sorely disappointed that they did not get another chance to trim Senator Sp'K>ner\s hair, which was fiaunted before them in an ag grarating way every time the little giant visited the barber shop to be shaved, as w'as his custom daily. “Hair cut, sir?” the obsequious bar ber would inquire. The senator would thoughtfully shake his head, and the hopes of the barber would sink into his shoes. The barbers have always liked Sena tor Dick, and when they are let loose with his hair with Instructions to “use their judgment’’ they will make it nec essary for all the newspapers aud mag azines of the country to lay In a stock of new photographs. Senator Stewart and Senator Peffer are looked back upon by the barbers ns relics of “those good old times,” the return of which Is hoped for, but hard ly expected. ♦%%*VV'VVVVV*'4'"V^31 -»§ -F* O R.

Professor Max Dcssoir of Berlin uni versity rceontly introduced to bis class in psychology Dr. Ruckle. He told the students that the doctor was a genius at figures, but was not to be looked upon as in the same class with “lightning calculators” who give pub lie exhibitions, because Dr. Ruckle ap peared before the students only to demonstrate what well directed appli cation could accomplish. He began by asking that 100 figures be placed in a row, making one great sum. Then be studied the line for about five minutes and In that time memorized the com bination so perfectly that he wrote the figures from first to last and from last to first rapidly and without error. Difficult problems In cube and square root, Interest and compound Interest were solved in an incredibly short time, always correctly and without the aid of paper or pencil. After an exhi bition which caused wonder and as tonishment the students applauded vig orously, and the mathematical genius, as a further proof of his remarkable memory, repeated backward the 100 figures which had been given to him when his discourse began. •:i Wofford College Fitting school, Spartanburg, S.

The old and cheap way is called air cured; the later discovery and improved way is called flue cured. In flue-curing the tobacco i? taken from the field and suspended over intensely hot flues in houses especially built to re tain the heat, and here kept in the proper temperature ntil this curing process developes in the tobacco the stimulating taste and fragrant aroma found in Schnapps tobacco, just as green‘coffee is madu fragrant and stimulating by the roasting process. Only choice selections of this ripe, juicy flue cured leaf, grown in the famous Piedmont country, where the best tobacco grows, are used in Schnapps and other Reynolds’ brands of high grade, flue cured tobaccos. Hundreds of imitation brands are on sale that look like Schnapps; the outside of the imitation plugs of to bacco is flue cured, but the inside is filled with cheap, flimsy, heavily sweetened air cured tobacco; one chew of Schnapps will satisfy tobacco hunger longer than two chews of such tobacco. Expert tests prove that this flue cured tobacco, grown in the famous Piedmont region, requires and takes less sv/eetening than any other kind, and has a wholesome, stimulating, satisfying effect on chewers. If the kind of tobacco you are chewing don’t satisfy, more than the mere habit of expectorating, stop fooling yourself and chew Schnapps tobacco. Schnapps is like the tobacco chew ers formerly bought costing from 75c. to $1.00 per pound; Schnapps is sold at 50c. per pound in 5c. cuts, strictly 10 and 15 cent plugs. R. J.

STARTLING BRAIN THEORY. Not Center of Heman Intelligence, Says Scientist—Toes Have Thoeghfr. The scientific world, through Dr Joseph Simms of New York’ city, who arrived recently at Boston from Ku- rope. Is to be treated to another sensa tional theory concerning the seat of thougnt in human beings, says the New York Auvri- nn. “We think with our toes and with our lingers j’r ; ;;s much as we think with any portion of our brain.” says the scientist, who is about to write a book. He contends that the heart has more to do with the function of think ing than lire brain. Dr. Simms points out that the lira ins of many idiots are large, yet their hearts are very small, whereas the brains of many geniuses have been below the normal, while their hearts have lieen abnormal. “We think literally all over our bod ies,” says the doctor, who has made a life study of the chemistry of thought. “Thought is in the soul, which permeates the entire physical being. '1 he brain is a great heat pro ducer. but it has little to do with the function of thinking. We think with our fingers or with our toes whenever we use them.” Dr. Himms declares that such world renowned scientists as Sir William Hamilton of Edinburgh university and Professor Yon Hartmann of Ber lin agree with him in his theory. jFIVE WINUERSij LABOR UNION BANK. ■ ■ • ■ It has.the largest circulation of any paper in the Fifth South Carolina Congressional District.
