Think not, " hen the morn IS ligitcSt
And the rising sun is brigiitest,
Lo the smiling hour will s,ay.-
Tempest loud
And thmder-cioud
Come in the sweetest Summer dayi
Deem not, " hen the Wi ter's torrents
Swell the misty mounta n currents,
That the skies will lower for aye
Stormy showers
Bring sweetest flowers,
And the sun will smile the rain awayi
So, when Life is dark and glooming,
Or when joy is brightly blooming,
Hope nor fear long del y
Smile or eh,
The ; ours go by,
And soon VIII q thy life awayi
Then fear not thou the darkest hours,
Nor spare to pluck the sweetest flowers,
Nor trust the feast, nor dread the fray
Or lost or won,
Life soon is done,
And dies in the dawh of q brighter dayi

A MONSTER cutie fish, the body of which
was from ten to twelve feet in length, its
arms or suckers'being six feet long, and in
some parts as thick as mans thigh, was
found recently lying on the beach at Negi-
shi, near Yokohama, ip Japan. A mans
hat would scarcely cover one of its eyes
1t was sent to Yokohama. After lying at
the market for a few hours it was sent to
Toxic, an enterprising Snowman having
purchased it for exhibition there. The
fishermen who secured this specimen pro-
nounce it a female, it being minus the
shell commonly found on the back ol
the ink-discharsing breast Of the stronger
sex

NEW 1DVERIT

Every year increases the popularity
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 anG perfected prep
iration for restoring GRAY 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 properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stimu,
lates and nourishes the hair-glands.
By its 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 mos.
economical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair splendid, glossy ap-
pearance. A. A. Hayes, MD, State
Assayer of Massachusetts, says, "Ths
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and |
consider it the BEST PREPARATION
for its intended purposes"

THE GOLD DRAIN.

The amount OF gold exported from this
country to Europe for the last twenty-six
weeks has been OF unprecedented magni-
tude. From January lst to July lst there
was shipped-chiefly from New York
over fisty-two million dollars TO Europe.
This only exemplifies one Of the forms
in which this enormous drain exists.
During the Summer and Fall thousands
OF excursionists go TO the Old Country,
most OF them with their pockets well
filled with the precious metal. At inter-
walls, our Monaghan servants take their
departure for the Flowery Land with an
increased exchequer, and the sum total
of all these different drains is Just the
amount the country loses every year.
We use the word, not as indicating
total loss Of the money and no return for
it, but to show that SC much gold goes
out of the United States and stays
out. In this country the premium
on gold is high, in Europe
it's proportionately low, yet the tide
sets from the New World to the Old with
undiminished volume and undated
speed. The fact seems somewhat anom-
alous, and for the reason and cause we
must look underneath tho superficial
strata OF exchange and trade. II the
trade between the European and the
American narkets was represented by q
system Of double-entry bookkeeping the
export Of gold would show tho balance to
the credit Of Europe, and wonld repre-
sent tho exact difference between the
value OF the exported goods TO Europe
and the imported goods from that coun-
try to the United States. That the pre-
ponderance Of the one is prorortioned to
the diminution OF the other is proven by
this fact. The value of our imports 10
in excess Of tho value of the exports for
the Same length Of time in just the same
degree as the shipment of gold to Eu-
rope exceeds any former shipment for
tho same time. This subject is one Of
surprising Importance to everyone. This
particular phase of the financial ques-
ton, viz: excess of foreign imports over
domestic exports, is one of the strongest
arguments of the protective tariff ad-
herents, they arguing that such tariff
ia necessary to prevent an overwhelming
deluge of foreign goods. The subject is
an interesting one, admits Of argument
on both sides and will be referred to
again. The leading journals of the
Pacific Coast are noticing and discussing
this subject which involves 30 many
others and is certainly worthy of all at
tention and comment.
