Every year increases the populari-

which IS due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
Kept fully up to its high standard;
andltis the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to it's youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken,
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruption
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger ID

glands 10 their normal vigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. It is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires FEWER applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MID,

The AufIiOr of Eccn Homo.

Prof Seeley, author of "Ecce Ho-
mo, is a smooth=faced, faxen-haired,
boyish man, of small figure, but with
a scholarly manner and a charming
power of expression. At meeting Of
Mrs. Howe's Peace Congress he made
an admirable speech, but was repeated
ly interrupted by hunchback in the
audience who cried "Time," merely
because he wanted to hear the women.
Prof Seeley was finally 50 much en-
barrassed that he sat down. He spoke
about half an hour without moving his
left arm once, or raising his knuckles
from the table Oh which he had planted
them to support his leaning body. He
emphasized occasionally by a slight
forward jerk of the head. In fact, he
spoke very much like talking pillar,
without movement of any kind from
head to foot.

III Favor of Ladies Riding
Horses Man Fashion,

A writer in Appleton's Journal argues
very strongly in favor of ladies riding
horses oman fashion" and says:
Assuming this position, then, to be
we'll taken, there is a word or two to be
said Of the accessories for riding en-
cdUdljer, and these embrace in them
selves no small portion of the advan-
tages to be gained by Cutting Queen
Anne. The long, dragging, futtering,
flying habit is to be discarded, of
course. Even an ordinary skirt, despite
the example of Madame Gamarra, will
not do. What is to be the costume
then? 1t is ready to hand-the very
dress Ugly, ungainly and unfeminine,
as it has been presented to us by pc
destrians, on horseback it can be made
pretty and piquant, and is just what we
want. 1t is the so-called Bloomer cos
tune. With a very full skirt falling Il
little below the knee, Turkish trousers
gathered ut the ankle, a neat high gait
er, or zouave bootce, and a iaunty rid
ing hat and plume, we surely have a
riding dress that for style, compact
ness, comfort, ease of management. and
relief-mOunted or dismounted-fr
the two-handed embarrassment of the
trailing habit, cannot be surpassed

FOR THE BOYS AND GIRLS.
The Sunrise.

Mabene daintiest child of ALL
With fair little face, and quaint little ways,
Clasping my hand i'll her fingers small,
Said. 'tAunty, of these summer days
When it is pleasant as pleasant can be,
And the sky is just as blue as your eyes,
viii you go to the quarry hiIi with me
Ever so early, to see the sun rise i?
For i'll all my life I" (she was nine last Mayl
81 never have seen the sun rise yet ~
SO away from her dreams in the early gray
OF morning in June, l called my pet.
The clover blooms were Cewily bright,
The breeZes slept in thetree-tops tall,
The dawn was flushed with pale pink light,
And the silence of morning was over all.
The sweetbriar scattered perfumed shower
From It's arching sprays, we climbed the hill.
The leveret looked from his fe~ny bower;
The stream i'll the valley ran bright and still.
Thoughts TOO deep for the childish heart
We're born of the morning hush and thrill.
With luminous eyes and lips apart,
She stood on the crest of the rocky hill.
Out of the east the heralds came
With pennons of purple, amber, and rose;
Then waving lines and ances of flame,
And the gray mist fed from its radiant foes;
And the arose to the laugh of the breeze,
The song of birds, and the ripple of streams,
And we heard the welcome of whispering trees,
Waving their arms in the morning CLEANS.
My darling awaked from her rapture trance,
AS she chung to me in close embrace:
''Aunty, the sunrise is Gods own glance,
And the glory of morn is the light of His facet
And oh I was thinking if only
Could be like the sunrise every day,
And brighten my home as it brightens the skyt
Do you think could be like it, AUnty, say"
From her seaside home, many miles away,
Writes Mabelle: I'm happy as happy can be,
For this morning heard my father say,
The mantle of sunshine hath fallen on thee
There is sometimes day when the world goes
wrong,
And sometimes tears to my eyes will start
But, Aupty, the gray mist stays long,
For I carry the sunrise in my heart ~

TO RiRen DenrS.

To cause pears to color up handsome
~, Josiah Hoopee, in the Agriculturist,
says g All that is necessary Will be
to spread Blanket on the floor of a
cool room, and then thinly and evenly
place the fruit on the floor. A second
blanket must be spread over them. and
shortly the effect of this treatment will
be apparent in the most golden-eoIored
Bartietts, and, rich, ruddy-looking
Seckels imaginable. Pears perfected
IN this manner rarely have the meali-
ness Of their naturally ripened COM
panions, nor do they prematurely de-
cay at the core as when left on the tree.
This of course implies that they
must be picked in advance of ripening
on the tree, the t1rae for which is part,
ly indicated by slight change of color
and partly by readiness to part from
the stem when gently lifted, so that
some strain is made at the point of
junction. The Bartlett will ripen if
picked some weeks in advance of ripen-
ing on the tree, and even when its
growth IS not fully attained

The International Maritime Signal Sys-
fem.

The Treasury Department is con
sidering the propriety of urging upon
Congress at it's next session the i'm
portance of some general enactment
in regard to the adoption by the mer-
chant marine of the international code
of signals now used by the merchant
vessels of most foreign nations. This
code is being published by the Navy
Department for use in the navy, and
when completed will be on sale at its
cost of publication, which Will be less
than 50 per volume. The system is
very complete, and by the use of the
book communication can be establish
ed as we'll between vessels OF nations
speaking different language as between
those of the same nation. All present
communication between American yes
sells is very difficult, owing to several
systems being in use, and it is almost
impracticable for an American vessel
to communicate with another of ma
ton speaking a foreign language, with
signal stations or with vessels Of the
United States Navy, by which the new
code has been adopted. The serious
Inconvenience experienced under the
present system Will undoubtedly lead
to legislation upon the subject and the
general disuse Of the confusing modes
now IN vogue.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Wheat Lands.


The Journal of Chemistry says: In
the eleventh century the average pro-
duction in wheat per acre, in England,
was stated to have been only six bush
els. To day the average in England is
twenty-seven bushels. This progress
is due to our having more knowledge
about agriculture. We know more
soils, about implements, manures, ETC.,
than in the olden time. One reason
fer the advancement we see, is the i'm
prOvement In our agricultural imple-
ments. Thus the pillow has been won.
derfulty improved over what it was in
Europe III the middle ages.
1t is knowledge that men want The
difference between England of five GEN.
tures ago and of to-day, is a difference
in knowledge. knowledge has enabled
England to multiply many times the
product OF agricultural operations, and
also to multiply the number OF human
beings she can support. Much of this
knowledge IS traditional, but it is also
preserved IN the records the writings
ct those who have studied those sub
lects.
In England to-day there are 10 ex-
hausted lands they are not allowed
to deteriofate. What Is taken off is
supplied again, and this is the only
true economy. We can not take away
from our land, and not restore, without
injuring the soil.
Russia, unlike England, seems to be
following in the footsteps of this coun-
try in the neglect of her wheat lands,
and, as a consequence, complaints are
already being made that the average
yield of her grain crops is constantly
growing less. There. as the Scientific
Press says, is the case in California,
valuable farmyard manure is, in many
places, being conducted to the nearest
waste ground or stream as a nuisance.
Still Russia IS buying largely of reap
ing and threshing machines, as well as
other agricultural machinery.

Ingenious Devices Of Paris Thieves.

A Paris letter writer tells of the follow
ing ingenious devices of thieves: A
gentleman, returning home at two in the
morning, saw two Sisters of Charity sit
ting on a bench, earnestly discussing he
advanced nigh enough to learn they were
thieves and were dividing their days spoils,
and desecrating the habit OF an excellent
class of devoted women. Another system
of thieEing is to dress like an Alsatian,
and stand at the railway stations, with Il
German accent, to beg, saying they have
sacrificed all to get to Paris, at the same
time changing the tuum to the meum on
anything they can without discovery.

Born of this low flower
Wraps me in its spell,
AS l, lowly bending,
Catch its breath ascending
With the subtle power
That I love so well.
No bold colors vaunting,
No gay banners Haunting
Like those baleful peoples
With their wanton gaze;
Meek and unobtrusive,
Of its sweets diffusive,
ModestIy it copies
Virtues quiet ways.
All, it makes me think Of
What? feel a link of
Some light chain that's twftching
Vaguely at my thought

Or wild apples blooming,
Grapevine odors witcning,
And-I scarce know what!
