Of dyspepsia or indigestion, but its willing

ALaughahls Dog Storr.

Living on Cottage Grove avenue in
this city is a doctor who hiss valua-
bls aud faithful terrier. A few days
ago the dog, while playing with the
child Of a saloon keeper in the
neighborhoOd, bit the youngster and
then started homeward. The child
raised a tremendous hullabaloo, and
his fathers wrath was unbounded.
He repaired to the residence Of the
doctor and told him the offending dog
must be killed. The doctor objected,
and the saloon keeper in towering
rage, went to Sergeant Tom Barrett,
who directed him to procure magis-
terial warrant to have the dog slain.
The document was obtained, and
was thrust under the doctors nose.
The doctor discovered that his canine
friend would have to die. and the
matter caused him much grief. He,
however, promised the saloOn-keeper
that he would show him the inani
mate body of the dog in short time.
Half an our afterWard the doctor Rp-
peared in the saloon holding the ap-
parently lifeless body of the dog by
the hind legs, and threw him carless-
ly on the counter. He asked the sa-
loon-keeper ifhe was satisfied, and re-
ceived . response in the affirmative.
The parties then took drink, deeply
obliged to his medical friend, and
said that he always knew che was q
white man." The Doctor again took
the dog by the heels and left the place.
Nothing more was said of the matter
until yesterday, when the saloon
keeper was startled almost out of his
wits by the sudden aspiration before
him ofthe dead dog He told every
one about it, andit soon transp red that
the ingenious doctor, instead of kill
ling his dog, had merely given him
ehlorOform. The salOOn-keeper ac-
knowledged himself sold, and stood
drinks for large number of aequain-
taness.- Chicago EreHing Journal

much good common sense, too much
forecast with the good people Of Warren
to desire to carry out such an absurd
measure, even if some croakers in the
place were able to enact such atyrannical

port our wives and little ones, know full
well how much we have to suffer, and

ABSENCE OF MIND.

Maeaulay remarks that absentmind-
edness is the mark of either a genius
or a fool. We think that Lord Ma
caulay was a little on one Of its sides.
A mans mind may be so intensely
occupied with lofty intuitions and as
piFatiOns that his senses, seemingly.
are scarcely awake to the realities Of
the tangible world.
A certain Scottish professor was not
more remarkable for his writing on
political economy than for his fire.
quent inconsistencies of what passed
before him. His absence Of mind was
so remarkable that his wife once
wagered that she would aeeost him in
the street, inquire after the health Of
herself and family, and ne would not
recognize her. She actually won the
wager. The professor once took "a
solitary walk on the banks of a canal,
into which, in his abstraction, he
walked. When within a yard of the
center an honest woman, washing
clothes behind him, bawled out.
Come DOT, come OOt, fule pOdy, or
yell be drOOn't." These warning
sounds invading the tympanun Of
his professional ear had the effect OF
making him turn right about, and
forthwith recover the dry land. The
good woman, concluding he was an
idiot, sympathetically exclaimed.
"Puir body, atweel they hae muckle
to answer for that lets We gang yer

THE HUMAN HAIR.

Human hair analyZed or examined
by the aid of chemistry, is found to
contain dlbUDIeIl, lime, sulphur and
magnesium. The disagreeable odOr
arising when the hair is burnt, is
caused by the presence of sulphur.
The color Is impaired to it by an oil,
which fills the hollow tubes OF the
hair, the different eOlOring matters
containing an excess of some of the
above ingredients. Red hair contains
a larger proportion Of sulphur than
light or dark hair; the white hair Of
the aged contains an excess of phOs-
phate of lime. The hair has at all
times, and by all races, been eonsid-
cred one of the most prominent char
acteristies Of beauty. Poets have
sung its praise, artists have painted its
beauty, scHlpters have delineated il
in marble. Is it to be wondered at
that empires, quaeks and humbugs,
have found il one of the most fruitful
and prolific sources on which to vent
their fertile Imagination We can
hardly take up q newspaper or open 3
magazine without finding large let
tered advertisement recommending
some wonderful preparation for re-
storing lost hair, preventing its falling
out, or preserving its color. Such
statements are almost invariably un-
troe, and their virtues depend on the
use Of the most deletefious and injuri-
Gus ingredients. The simplest, surest
and best means to prevent the hair
from falling out is the free use Of a
stiff hair brush daily, and frequent
washing to keep the scalp elean and
vigorous. The use Of hair dressing
is notonly attractive but actually ben
ifieial, II the article used is composed
of the proper Ingredients, which we
are compelled to say very few contain.
Keep the hair soft and excite healthy
action in the scalp, and assist Nature
in strengthening and preserving the
hair.

"YOu now further swear, in the
presence Of Almighty God. that you

you will not initiate or allow in this

them and go to their assistance. And
should you hear the word Of alarm

The witness then stated they had a
peculiar alphabet with signs and

communicate with each other with
out fear of detection; the members
were all required to be suitably dis.
