As a very important source of strength
and security, cherish public credit. One
method of preserving is is to nse it as
sparingIy as possible; avoiding occasions
of expense by cultivating peace, but re.
membering nlsO that timely disbursements
10 prepare for danger frequently prevent
much greater disbursements 10 repel il
avoiding likewise the accumulation of
debt, NOT only by stunning occasions Of
expense, but by vigorous exertions in time
of peace to discharge the debts which un-
avoidable wars may have occasioned, mot

thickened, falling hair checked, and
badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can C.
store the hair where the follicles are
destroyed, or the glands atrophiod

application. Instead of fouling the
hair with pasty sediment, it will
keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off,

The Sistine Madonna.

The Dresden gallery is the finest col
lection north of the Alps. The Sistine
Madonna alone is enough to make a
gallery famous. 1t is the most celebat-
ted picture in the world. It has been
reproduced so often in copies, engrav-
ings, chromos and photographs that il
will be difficult to find person who is
not familiar with the conception-the
Holy Virgin, with the child Jesus in
her arms, standing on the clouds, ST
Sixtus on her left, below, looking up
adoringly, st. Barbara on her right,
with her face turned toward the specta-
tor, and beneath two little cherubs
leaning over a railing represented near
the frame. The pose and action of the
figures, especially of the Virgin, are
admirable; the expression sweet, pure
and rapt. Raphael was in the best
period of his short life when he painted
this picture, and taken altogether-the
dignity of the subject, the beauty of the
coloring, the symmetry of the compost
tion, and the soul which his genius here
best displays-it is worthy of its fame.
Properly it occupies a room by itself,
and the art lover, who returns to it
again and again, finds that it daily in
creases its hold upon his Imagination.
The picture is about eight feet seven
inches high and six feet four inches
wide. Itwas carefully restored in 1916

Aaron Burr's Method of Making Friends.

Chancellor Kent used to relate, how
Aaron Burr called TO see him one day.
and, saying that he was on his way to
Albany, offered to attend to any COM
missions of Mr.. Kent's. Kent was
naturally fattered by this attention
from so distinguished a man. "Noth-
ing was said about politics, though l
had been elected on the Federal ticket
a member of Assembly from the county
of Dutchess. When | went home to
dinner that day 1 said to my wife. with
much self-satisfaction, Betty, who do
you think has been to see me to-day p
She said, Il do not know; who has?'
| said, Aaron Burr, Colonel Burr and
then related TO her our conversation.
and the kind offer of professional assis-
tance rendered to me. In few days
Colo.el Burr, on his way to New York
on his return. again called and said he
would be glad to be of service to me in
New York if had any business in the
way of the law that he could do for me
there. The Legislature then sat in New
York, and soon after | took my seat in
the following spring in the Assembly
| received a note from Colonel Burr,
wishing me to take breakfast with him.
Not long atterward l received another
invitation, this time to take dinner with
him. The day arrived for the election
of United States Senator, and member
of the Assembly, boarding at the same
house with me, came in the morning
into my room and said. 'Mr. Kent, YOU
know we are to choose United States
Senator to-day said Yes. know
Il suppose he said, you are going to
vote for our friend, Colonel Burr p
No. 1 quickly replied am going to
vote for my old friend, General Schuy-
ler,'" And here the Chancellor used
to conclude with great emphasis;
That was the first time l suspected
what the fellow was after.''
