LACK OF THOUGHT IN SIMPLE ACTs OF

which even the routine of life is carried on
by the mass OF men shows clearly that they

self guidance in the absence of an authori-
tive code oil conduct. Take q days expe-
rience and observe the lack of thought in

but after the first few drops have been
counted succeeding drops run down the

shaped without regard to the requirement.
Yet millions OF such phials are made by
glass makers and sent out by thousands of

sense brought to bear on bushes. Now,

How A WOMAN DEALT WITH 4 BURG
LAR.-The Danbury News man in his IA
cetious manner describes how Mrs. Henry
dealt with burglar. He says: There is
a peculiarly saddening effect in awakening
in the night aud hearing burglars at work
in your house. This was the case with Mr..
Henry, on South street, Friday night. As
soon as he detected the noise, which APP
peared to lie down stairs, he softly crept out
OF bed, and commenced TO prowl around
for a match. His wife was soon awakened
by the same noise, and believing that
something was the matter with the child
rem, who slept in the next room, she care
fully withdrew from the bed so not to dis
turh her husband, and started for the door.
An instant later they collided. What he
thought was evident enough. All the hard
earnings of an arduous life were at stake.
Before him stood one or more robbers.
with an exclamation ofcondensed eloQuence
he cinched her. What she thought is not
quite SO evident, but it. was doubtless of
her husband and children, and, being
plucky withal, she at once twined her fin
gers in his hair, and gave him wrench
that made him think of death.
Then both of them went down 10 the
together floor together, she having the adj
vantage in the fall, and, getting on top
with her hands still in his hair, she shook
his head against the floor with an energyand
courage that would undoubtedly have filled
him TO overlooking with admiration, had
he known who 1t was, or had he known
anything at all. Every time she raped him
she shrieked for help, and III brief space
of time the children and Mrs. Eben Davis,
who lives down stairs, were on the scene.
Mrs. Davis was not dressed for company,
but in the excitement she didn't mind
adornment. She had candle In one hand,
and long carving fork inthe other, and
was about to drive the latter into the legs
of the villain, when recognition ensued.
Then Mrs. Davis laid down her candle in
one direction, and the fork In another, and
Immediately returned TO her own apart
ments, her yellow flannel nightcap, rs ii
shot down the stairs, being the first thing
Mr.. Henry saw on springing 10 his feet.
The children were returned to their room,
and put TO bed, but the parents did not re-
sumo their couch. 1t was so pleasant that
Mr.. Henry concluded 10 remain up the
rest of the night and enjoy the scenery,
and Mrs. Henry thought 1t best to stay up,
too, so as to change the cloths on his head
as often as possible.

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 stmu-
lated into activity, 50 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 dandruff, which is often so I'M
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.
