gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, SO that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruf, which is often so I'M
clearly and offensive. Free from those
lcleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and iniu-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for u HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable
Containing neither oil nor dye, it doc,
not soil white cambria, and yet last,

lastre, and grateful perfume.

Caught in their own Trap.

A couple of California convicts re-
Gently quite outwitted themselves in
planning an ingenious escape from
Jail. They managed to store them
selves in large box in the wheel
wright shop where they worked, and
had the box nailed and so arranged
that when they arrived in San Fran
cisco, and landed on the wharf, they
could open one end. Unfortunately
for them, when the box came on the
boat one of the deck hands turned
it upon end instead of leaving it fat.
This was more than the convicts
could stand. One of them stood on
his head, and the rush of blood was
more than he had bargained for
while the other cried out ''this box
don't stand right" The deck hand
was astonished at this exclamation,
and his first idea was that ghosts
were on board. A council was held,
and the captain decided to break
open the box. To the utter astonish-
ment of everybody, as soon as the
sides were broken off, two live men
came creeping out in a state Of per-
spiration. They were at once recog-
nized as convicts and were sent
back to prison. Exchange.

The Mother as a Hair cutter.

The Danbury Ne1oS man is respOn-
sible for the following: You can
always tell boy whose mother cuts
his hair. Not because the edges of
it looks as if it had been chewed off
by an absent-minded horse, hnt YOU
tell it by the way he stops on the
street and wriggles his shoulders
When a fond mother has to cut her
boys hair she is careful to guard
against any annoyance and muss by
laying sheet on the carpet. It has
never yet occurred to her to sit him
over bare floor and put the sheet
around his neck. Then she draEs
the front hair over his eyes and
leaves it there while she cuts that
which is at the back. The hair which
lies over his eyes appears to be sur
charged with electric needles, and
that which is silently dropping down
under his shirt-band appears to be
on fire. She has unconsciously con-
tinued to push his head forward m-
til his nose presses his breast, and
is too busily engaged to notice the
snuffiing sound that is becoming
alarmingly frequent. In the mean
time he is seized with On irresistible
desire to blow his nose, but recol-
lects that his handkerchief is in the
other room. Then a fly lights on his
nose, and does it so unexpectedly
that he involuntarily lodges, and
catches the points of the shears In
his left ear. At this he commences
to cry and wishes he was q man.
But his mother doesn't notice him.
She merely hits him on the other ear
to inspire confidence, and goes on
with the work. When she is through
she holds his jacket collar back from
his neck. and with her mouth blows
the short bits of hair from the top
of his head down his back. Hecalls
her attention to this fact, but she
looks for new place on his head
and hits him there, and asks him
why he didn't use his handkerchief.
Then he takes his awful disfgured
head to the mirror and looks at it,
and, young as he is, shudders as he
thinks OF what the boys on the
street will say.
