SOFTNESS OF SEALSKIN.
I* Rivaled by Human Hair Wkera
Dandruff U Eradicated.
Sealskin Is admired the world ov?r ft>r
Its softness and glossiness; and yet the
human hair is equally as soft and glossy
when healthy; and the radical cause of all
hair trouble Is dandruff, which Is caused
by a pestiferous parasite that saps the
vitality of the hair at Its root. Newbro's
Herplclde Is the only preparation that Is
fatal to the dandruff germ. Without dan
draif there Is no falling hair, but a lux
uriant growth of glossy, soft hair Is cer
tain. Scouring the scalp won't cure dan
druff. Kill the dandruff germ. Thous

THE TACON THEATER.
Hatauu'n r.-iiuuuN ri?yhoane Hua an
In . erf ntlng History.
The hlsU'"y of the Tacon theater of j
Havana Ik very Interesting. In the
year lXi5 Francisco Marty, who was
then the leader of a band of pirates I
which Infested the Island of Cuba and
who had a price of $10,000 on his head,
was captured and ordered to be put to
death. Seeing there was no ho]>e for
him, he asked leiVe to see General I
Tacon. who was then governor general 1
of Havana, and told him If his life was
spared he would denouuce his entire
band and assist him In ridding the Is
land of the number of pirates which In
fested It at that period. Accordingly
General TV con nave him a two weeks'
parole, and Inside of a week Marty had
denounced his fellow plr.ites and turn
ed thetu over to the government. For
this service he was pirdoucd.
In 183?; Marty asked for the conces
sion to build a national theater on the
site of Parque Central. It was granted
to blrn. General Taeon went further
and allowed him the privilege of the
use of forty convicts who were then
confined In Morro castle to assist J)lm
In the work, each convict receiving thfc
eum of 20 cents a day. In 1KIS th
theater was finished, and Marty, as a
proof of the gratitude he felt toward
General Tacon for sparing his life, naui
ed It EI Teatro IMcon. During the In
surrection In Cuba many exciting Inci
dents took place here. In one instance
a regiment of Cuban Insurgents barri i
eaded themselves In the theater and
held It against the Spauiards for three
days. Finally they were starved out,
and as they were making their escape
all were shot.
The theater Is built of white stone,
with decorations of marble, and face*
Central park, being In the center of the
fashionable district of Ilavaua. It I*
one of the largest theaters In the world, j
seating over 0.000 persons.? Cuban Re
view.
The linn (TP of Apples.
"Pineapple" and "love apple" (tomato)
are Instances of the rnauuer in which
the apple has been habitually taken as
the typical fruit, the name of which l?
naturally borrowed lu naming all sort*
of fruits and vegetables that only re
motely resemble it. Dr. Murray's dic
tionary gives an Imposing list of them
?Jew's apple, devil's apple, kangaroc
apple, and so on. A writer of the so?
enteenth century speaks of "the frull
or apples of palm trees," and a four
teenth century man says that "ul
manerc aples that ben closyd In as
harde skinne. ryude, other shale, ben
callyd Nuees" (nutst. In the year 1000,
apparently, "earth apples" meant no1
potatoes, but cucumbers. And even
Eve's "apple" Is believed to have beer
a citron.
A Big Calculation In Water.
The ocean, sea and lake surface of
our planet Is estimated at something
like 145,000.000 square miles, with an
average depth of 12.000 feet, aud is
calculated to contain no* less than
8.270,000.000.000,000 tons of water.
The rivers of the earth are estimated
to have a flow sufficient to cover thir
ty-slx cubic miles of the al>ove-area
each day. Now, if all the oceans were
suddenly diied and (he rivers could
keep up their present rate of Bow
?which, of course, they could not with
out ocean evaporation. It would take
3,0tX> years to refill the basin.
Dran-inR n Tooth.
An elephant had a raging toothache,
the agony of^ which caused her to near
ly destroy her caravan. She was
thrown on her side and roped to stakes.
Two men held a pair of Ice tongs fast
round the ncbing tooth, aud a couple
of dray horses attached to the tongs
by l rope did the rest. The tooth was
sixteen Inches long by three Inches
