HALLS vHSH9AREE EfgEfaa
Hair ReneWer,

Seldom does a popular remedy win such q
strong hold upon the public confidence as has
HALLS HAIR REVIEWER. The cases in which
it has accomplished a complete restoration of
color to the hair, and vigorous health to the
scalp, are innumerable.
Old people like it for its wonderful power to
restore to their whitening locks their original
color and beauty. Middle-aged people like it
because it prevents them from getting bald,
keeps dandruH away, and makes the hair
grow thick and strong. Young ladies like it
as dressing because it gives the hair beau
tiful glossy lustre, and enables them to dress
it in whatever form they wish. Thus it is the
favorite of all, and it has become so simply
because it disappoints no one.

misers of minutes. We talk of "ott
hours and "spare moments, but
we have none to spare. True, we
need recreation, relief from daily
pressure of care. Sleep cannot be
safely abridged The tension OF mod
ern life, the rush and rivalry Of bust
ness makes rest a necessity. We
owe it to ourselves and to others to
keep the body in its best physical con
ditlon. We are gathering up the
fragments in so doing Proper re-
Taxation is part of true economy
bur the point to be remembered is the
value and significance of all our
hours as related to the aim of life
This understood, we shall be frugal Of
our scanty and lessening store.
Fragments of time saved Will rapid
ly accumulate wealth, material and
spiritual. Many valuable books have
been prepared in moments of COM
parative leisure, In the gold-rOom of
the Philadelphia mint there is a per-
forated floor, through which passes
the dust or filings of gold. the ag-
gregate value of which is $50, 00U a
year. This is but hint OF the gather
ed wealth of many men who have
learned to husband minutes. Kind
words and deeds that take but a
moment of time may be like fruitful
seeds, the harvesting of which may
be superlatively rich in this life and
in the life to como.
0 the Joy of memory that comes
froIn utilizing fragments of time
Worth more than the sweeping of the
goldroom they enrich alike the life
of him who saves and that of him he
serves. An extra visit to the closet,
the improvement of some fugitive
impression or some passing acquain-
lance, may start streams OF beGe-
icent influence that will not only
momentarilY refresh aud restore a
weared soul, but leave permanent
effect on character. What we need
is strong purpose followed out by
systematic and persistent effort day

AN UNWELCOME GUEST.
A Vivid Bali of Fire in II. louis
Hotel Corridor.
So. Louis Post-pisnatch.

Lightning plays strange freaks,
and there are many people who tell of
seeing, during thunder storms, balls
of.blue fire rieochetlng along the street
or playing hide and seek among trees
or buildings, but it is seldom that it
takes a notion to skip into hotel
corridor and have lots of fun chasing
the guests around, as it did at the
Southern a few nights ago. Those
persons who were awake will remem-
Der particularly loud and startling
thunder-clap shortly after the storm
began. Just at this time most of the
guests at the Southern had retired,
and the last frequenter was thinking
seriously of home, but. some half
dozen gentleman were still sitting in
a group near the cigar-stand, discuss
ing politics, and the few employees an
duty were telling around, preparing
to pass the night as easily as possible.
The group of gentlemen were facing
east, and near by one of the bell-5oys
was standing Suddenly there was
an exclamation of surprise, and each
man started and shrunk back as if he
had received a powerful electric shock,
while the bell-boy threw his hands to
his face, staggered, and nearly fell.
Did you sec that2n came from
nearly every member of the group in
a breath. A ball of brilliant and livid
blue light had shot through the open
doorway Of the Fourth street entrance
of the hotel, and passing along the
ceiling suddenly dropped at right
angles to the floor and disappeared.
As the ball Of lightning struck the
floor there was a sharp ring as if
piece of metal Lad struck the flag
stones, which was followed by the
thunder. The flash Of light was
noticed by everyone in the corridor,
and the policeman on teat, who was
standing outside the door, was blind
ed by the glare. The spot where the
ball started toward the floor was,
apparently, where the electric light
was swinging, and this was borne out
by the fact that the globe of the light
was cracked and a triangular hole
had been broken in the bottom of it.
On the floor, this morning, was found
a small piece of twisted bronze, which
could not be accounted for, as it had
not been torn from anything in the
hotel as far as could be seen. 1t IS
supposed that the flash was brought
into the hotel by the electric-light
wire, or coming in was attracted by
it and was thus prevented from tack
ling the guests. AS the hotel is built
entirely of iron and stone, it probably
got very tired wrestling with it, and
concluded to disappear. The flash is
described as vivid and binding &C
companied by a percephble shock on
those in the corridor.

He was told to take life for life if he
could, but in any case TO return with
some account of the number and com,
position Of the Egyptian force. He
was discovered by a small party
of Egyptians. some of whom fled,
while their comrades, locking at the
intruder, fired on him and retired.
Charging with the spear, the boy Che
is only IS years Old wounded one of
his assailants in the hand; but there
were too many for him. Receiving q
bayonet wound IN the side, another
in the thigh, and a third on the head,
he was oyerpowered, and with his
hands tied behind him he was .akcn
into camp.

He threw himself in the saud. lie
