MIXED FANILIEs.-Sometimes we hear Of
queer relationships. A man out West writes
to one of the papers, giving his own status as
follows :.
81 married widow who had grown up
daughter, My father visited our house yery
often, and fell in love with my step>daughter
aud married her. So my father became nv
son>inslaw, and my stepsdaughter my mother,
because she was my fathers Wife Sometime
afterwards my wife had son; he was nv
fathers brother-in>law and my uncle, for he
was the brother of my stepsdaughter. NV
fathers wife,. e., my step>daug hter-had
also son he was, of course, nv brother.
aud in the meantime my grandchild, for he
was the son of my daughter. My wife was
my grandmother because she was my mothers
mother. was my wife's husband aud grand.
child at the same time. And as the husband
of persons grand mother is his grand
father, l was my own grandfather"
A NOBLE WoMAN.-A steamer was
wrecked during fearful storm on Lake Mich.
lgan. On her deck, amidst the wild con-
fusion, stood brave man, his wife, and two
children As he was an expert swimmer,
with great muscular power, he bound his wife
and children to his body and started for shore.
de struggled manfully with the angry waves
"My strength is failing, what shall I do ?"
The mother promptly replied:
drop me and save my babes.'
But desiring to save her who had walked
gentley and lovingly by his side, he exer.ed
every power to gain the shore. Again the
deep cry of agony was heard
What shall I do ?"
Amidst the roaring of the stormy pillows
was heard the calm voice of the wife and
mother:
"Drop me and save my babes"
Old Timothy Pickering was pretty
smart man in his day, and they could not take
him in when they offered to work on his farm.
10 one OF those chaps, they think they know
everything. he put the question if be knew
how to build stone wall
"1es, said he, "any fool ought to know
that
"Well, low is it done 7" said the colonel.
"Why, by putting one stone on another"
replied the man
"No, not by any means" rejoined the
colonel; "you know nothing about wall>build-
ing"
"Well, how then, sir? I would like to
know how you would have it done"
t'By putting one stone on two stones SO as
to break joints and have a wall like auv fool
like you could not push over" Good morn.

Every year increases the POPULAR
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard; ;
and it is the only reliable and perfect.
ed preparation for restoring GBAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruff, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. Byits use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and 1 consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION fer its intended purposes"
