ladies admire gray hair-o

Many ladies admire gray hair-on
some other person. But few care to try
its effect on their own charms. Nor
need they, since Ayers Hair Vigor
prevents the hair from turning gray, and
restores gray hair to its original color.
1t cleanses the scalp, prevents the for
nation of dandruff, and wonderfully
stimulates the growth of the hair.
The Constantly tired-out" feeling so
often experienced is the result Of impov-
erished blood, and consequent enfeebled
vitality. Ayers Sarsaparilla feeds and
enriches the blood, increases the appe-
tite, and promotes digestion of the food,
and the assimil alton of its strengthening
qualities. The system being thus in
vigorated, the feeling rapidly changes
to greatful sense of strength and ener-
gy.
No other preparation so concentrates
and combines blood purifying, vitalizing,
enriching and invigorating qualities as
Ayers Sarsaparilla. Quality should be
considered when making comparison.
Ayers Cathartic Pills are the best
medicine that can be employed to correct
irregularities of the stomach and bowels.
Gentle yet thorough, in their action,
they cure constipation, stimulate the
digestive organs and the appetite, and
cleanse, build up, and strengthen the
system.

Lincoln. the Peacemaker.

Abraham Lincoln, though success
full lawyer, was peacemaker. Jurles
trusted him, and his common-sense way
of putting things gave him great power
as an advocate. Yet he frequently adj
vised his clients not to go to law, but to
leave their disputes out to arbitrators.
The Rev. DR.. Miner, of Trenton, N. j.,
who was formerly a pastor at Spring
field, Ill, Mr.. Lincoln's home, told re-
Gently the following anecdote:
A farmer once said to me: do you
know why it is that l, who have been a
Democrat all my life, am going to vote
for Mr.. Lincoln? 1 will tell you. 1
once had got into difficulty with a
nelghbor about the line between our
farms. 1 went to Mr. Lincoln to secure
him.
"Mr. L. said Now, if you go on
with this, it will cost both of you your
farms, and will entail an enmity that
will last for generations, and perhaps
lead to murder.
The other man has just been here
to engage me. Now want you two to
sit down in my Office while / am gone
to dinner, and talk it over and try to
settle it. And, to secure you from any
interruption, 1 will lock the door, He
did so, and he did not return all the
afternoon.
1--WE two men, finding ourselves shut
up together, began to laugh. This put
us in good-humor, and by the time
Mr.. l.. returned the matter was settled"

The Formal "Call."

Whatever may betide, men have good
cause to rejoice that they bear no part
In that browning bore of all bores
known as the formal call" That is a
feminine institution. 1t is an invention
of the sex, and the sex groans under its
yoke. Man smokes his Durham in
beatific peace, while the wife and
daughters pay tribute to the formal
call. He hears the soto voce prayer
that parties will be out, and that the
matter can be dispatched with a card.
He quietly notes the sigh of relief when
the exhausted women return after
hours of social distress. He observes
the tax of dress incident to the affair,
the bad temper it invokes, and the
hypocrisy and total absence of any
equivalent in the way of pleasure for
all this slavish adherence to custom,
and then dimly realizes the miraculous
felicity of his own escape from such
tllralldom, and it maybe takes comfort
in the thought that the whole business
falls totally on those who have made
him pay the piper for countless other
freaks and whims of fashion and
caprice. The elasticity of conscience
with winch Ine Bentle creaJureS en-
deavor to mitigate the infection of the
formal call by convenient fibs, furnishes
the masculine monster some amusing
food for study, and it may be doubted
whether he would bulge an inch to
abolish the formal call. 1t is diamond
cut diamond; women annoying women.
In such q transaction the wise man
holds aloof and lets the dainty bel
ligerents masquerading as friends
manage the hollow and artificial show
ns suits themselves. 1t is not often
that he has an opportunity of keeping
ont of a game in which women array
their wits against one another instead
of against the common tyrant. man.
He is at liberty TO be judiciously silent
and hear the fair prattlers discuss each

Didn't Think Any More OF Him.

The Queen has often made visits,
both of pleasure and policy, to her es-
tate in Scotland, being at such times
more than heartily welcomed by the
canny Scots, who, almost without eX-
ception, highly reverence her and in
dorse all that she does.
On one occasion, shortly after visit
to her estate in the outskirts of Balmo-
raj, Mr.. Henry Irving, who was travel
ing through the country, met an old
Scotch woman, with whom he spoke Of
her Majesty.
"The Queen is a good woman" he
said
Il suppose she's guide enough, but
there are things Gamma bear.
What do you mean?" asked Mr..
Irving.
"Well, / think there are things that
even the Queen has no right to do. For
one thing-she goes rowing on the lake
on Soonday-and it's not Chreestian
thing to do.
"But you know the Bible tells us"
Il knaw," she interrupted, angrily.
"I've read the Bible ever since l was so

Cost OF the Capital.

L have been figuring up what this
capital of ours has cost us since the
beginning, and find that the amount
is over S100,000,000. The subject was
investigated by Congress in 1876. The
total at that time was a cost of $94,
362. ABB; since then 50, 500, 900 has been
paid out for public buildings alone,
and the amounts paid out for works of
art, park decorations, and other things,
will run the total far ahead of the
amount above stated. For a number
of years it has cost more than 81, 900, 600
q year to pay the Government expenses
of the District of Columbia, and since
1862 the amounts have been much
higher. In 1878 the amount was more
than 100000. In 1875 it was more
than $1,000, 900, while from 1923 to
1852 it was less than 81, 000,0 900 year.
In 1914 only 1900 was appropriated
for the District of Columbia, and it
was not until 1887 that the yearly pro-
portion reached 81 100000. 1t is in
teresting to look over the items of per-
manent improvements in Washington.
These include the original cost of the
buildings and their repairs, furnishing,
and keeping in order. The following
estimate, though not exactly correct, is
approximately so. 1t is less, rather
than greater, than the actual cost, some
of the minor expenses during the last
seven years being omitted. The Capt.
toll has cost 1872, 1913, the Patent
Office over $13,000,000, the Treasury
about $7,200,000, the Washington
streets more than S6,000,000, the State
Department about 1000, 900, the Navy
nearly $4,000, 900. the White House,
two parks, and public grounds, about
