Oracle aud Her Grandfather.

- When one OF the Trains 10 ttilS city
came in at midnight a few nights ago,
an old man was found sleeping in one
of the seats. The conductor flashed
his lantern in bis face, the brakeman
stirred him up, and one or two passell'
gers looked at him carclessly, but nc
person seemed to belong to him. He
was neat and clean, but thin and wasted
by old age or privation: All sorts Of
troubles were mapped on his clean, with.
cred face, but the main thing just then
was to get him awake and on his feet
and out of the car.
! 81 say, old mani" yelled the con-
dubtor, "git out Of this; do you hear'
This is Detroit. If you've got any
friends. they'll be looking for YOU"
He opened his eyes so wide and sud
denly that the brakeman, the conductor
and the curious passenger fell back on
each other in heap, but only his lips
moved. ....
"Where's Gracie?"
"Who9" asked the conductor, rccoy.
ing his official voice.
"Little Oracle grandpa's little pet!
l brought her with me. Is she there?'
81 guess he is not wide awake yet
said the. curious passenger. "Suppose
You help him TO his teet.''
Conductors are experts in helping
people to their feet, and this one was no
exception to the rule. He took the old
man by the coat-collar and stood him
up, but he sank down the mex, moment
limp and m,tionless. Just then :; depo'
hand came in.
"The baggage master wants to know
what you're goin' to dowith that little
deal box over there. He don't want any
of that kind left over, and there amt no
direction on it but Oracle
That's hertz said the old man, and
he stood ~ feeb'y. Take me there
We're going a long journey-Gracie and
me; long, long journey, but it don't
seem as if / knew the way right clear. y
They took him into the depot and laid
him on one Of the benches and put his
carpet-bag under his head, but Still he
fretted for his ''lectle Gracie-his pet, "
and at last they consoled him by telling
him she was resting, was asleep, and
must not be. disturbed. ,..r .........,
"We've a long journey to co." he
kept saying to himself; "and grandpa S
baby mustn't get tired. It's long way,
a long way" H.: .n.'. >..-.. =. -
The little ''box," with Oracle written
upon itiin iead.pencil, was safe enough
with the other freight and the old
man slept peacefully at last. Some kind
soul threw 4 rug over him near morn
ing, and asked him what train he was
waiting for, but all the answer he made
was feeble "Thank zee, call me at sum
rise. We're going long journey, Gra-
Gle and me-"
He was called at sunrise by voice
that none may refuse, and when a food
ofrosy light shone into the dreary room
he was up and away-gone on bis long
journey. Only the worn-out body was
there, and yesterday it was laid away
with 'little Gracie'' in the strangers
lot at Mount Elliott, unknown, yet posi-
blyin as s'sure hope of q gracious resur-
fection''' as if marked by thirty feet of
monumental clay.-Detroit Post and

"A young man in the Smithsonian IN

spondent OF the Cleveland Lealler, has
Just made public the discovery Of the
method employed in making the stone
And volcanic arrow-heads, dagyers,
knives, axes and razors Of the prehis-
toric race. Up to this time this has been
4 great problem to- all antiquarian stu
dents, but no theory has been advanced
showing so practical results as Mr..
Cushing's. He started to solve the
difficulty siby" placing himself in the
identical position Of the Aztecs or mound
builders, without anything to work with
except sticks, various shaped stones,
such as he could find on the banks OF
any stream, and his hands. After: MAX
Ing some rude implements BY chiptinc
bnb flint with another, he discovered
that no amount OF chipping would pro-
duce surfaces like those he was trying
to initiate. He then came to the con,
clusion that there was another way Of
doing it, and by chance tried pressure
with the point Of a stick, instead ST
chipping with the blows of stone, when
he found he, could break flint, stone and
obsidian in any shape he chose. Soon
after he made spear-heads and daggers
that would cut like q razor, as good as
any he had before him which he picked
upffom allOver the world.5 BY 4 little
more observation he. found. that the
4. baking Il. which .. he i, calls !. his
process, on the old arrowhead, left
| grooves which Oh turned one way. He
! produced 4 like result by turning his
stick sheieasiest way from right to lett:
He therefore conclsllles that prehistoric
men were right-handed people, just like
ourselves, This conclusion is reinforced
by the fact that occasionally an arrow
head'is found which has the fakes run run

discovery is that it shows that the early

FOR RESTORING GRAY HAIR TO lis
NATURAL. VITALITY AND C0LCI>.

IT is q most agreeable dressing, which
is at once harmless and effectual, for
preserving the lair. It restores, with
the gloss and freshness of youth, faded
or gray, light, and red hair, to rich
brown, or deep black, as may be desired.
BY its use thin hair is thickened, and
badness often though not always cured.
1t checks falling of the hair immedi-
ately, and causes new growth III oil
cases where the glands are not decayed;
while to brashy, weak, or otherwise
diseased hair, it imparts vitality and
strength, and renders it pliable.
The NIGOR cleanses the scalp, cures
and prevents the formation Of dandruif;
and, by its cooling, stimulating, and
soothing properties, it heals most if not
all OF the humors and diseases peculiar
to the scalp, keeping it cool, clean, and
soft, under which conditions diseases
of the scalp and hair are impossible.
As q Dressing for Ladies' Hair
The VIGoR is Incompatible. It color
less, contains neither oil nor dye, and
will not soil white cambria. 1t imparts
an agreeable and lasting perfume, and
as an article Cor the toilet it is economi-
cal and unsurpassed in its excellence.
