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 tc its
original color. 1t cleanses the scalp,
prevents the formation Of dandruff
and wonderfully stimulates the
growth Of the hair.

A Story About DIR. McCOSh.

from the Pittsburg Chronice-Telegraph.
There is good story told about the
report of lecture delivered by the cele-
brated DR.. McCosh of Princeton College.
1t was delivered many years ago, when
the papers of New York were Just intro
ducing photography reports. The Her
aid prided itself above all others on the
extent and correctness of It's own. and
daily called editorial attention to them
in an egotistical way that was peculiar
TO the elder Bennett. A young Irishman,
a Photographic reporter just arrived in
this country, was employed by the Her.
aid to report lecture of DR.. McCosh's
that was attracting universal attention.
In the course of his lecture the doctor
had occasion to make tho illustration:
eff you put red hot coal on the back
OF terrapln he is bound to travel. -
Catching the remark Theoretically and
never having heard of terrapin, but
thinking the expression fine American
ism, the reporter jotted it down. When
he came to write out his notes he puz-
zled over it for time, but finally fished
out IF you put a red hot pole on the
back OF eternity he is bound to travel, {"
and feeling that this was incomplete. he
added, with true Hibernian eloquence,
"whlthersoever the tide of revolutionary
warfare may lead him." A previously
written editorial called attention to the
beauty and correctness of the report.

An Ohio farmer, writing TO the Coun-
try Gentleman, tells how he treats stable
manure to get the best results. There
Is no question of quite so much impor-
lance to the farmer as manure. am at
present taking the annual product of a
large livery stable in town, and as I
agree to move it as fast as made I haul
| more or less every week in the year. But
III this l am only doing as / would always
like to do with manure made in own
stables. l believe in getting the anure
promptly and directly from the stable to
the land. Two very important ends are
thus answered. First, we save all hand
ling except loading-and cleaning the
stable and loading would have one and
the same operation-unlOading and
spreading. Second, We save the whole
strength of the manure, thing not pos
sible to be otherwise done without great
labor and expensive arrangements. [ do
not speak for dairymen or those who de-
vote their lands mostly to wheat. These
must have compost or rotted manure for
top dressing. do not believe much in
exclusive danying or wheat raising. AS
a rule would devote the stable manure
to cultivated crops. When l have a
load of manure / drive to the poorest
knoll or ridge on the farm that has no
crop upon its saving those most accessi-
BILE for soft going, stop at the highest or
poorest points and unload at one stop
ping and on one side, throwing the ma
nure as far as [ can reach, one forkful
deep. let the manure lay until [ am
ready to llow, whether it be one month
or six. In spreading I throw the ma
nure upon the intermediate space be-
tween the ridge and the hollow as clean
as I can with fork if it has lain several
months, leaving more or less Of it if it
has lain shorter time. The hollows
need no manure. There is nothing like
heavy mulching of manure for these
poor spots, and il is not best to pillow
under much manure, for If sandy or
gravelly they are liable to leach. If the
land is level or uniform IN richness |
would spread directly from the wagon.
While we must have stable manure for
poor spots. and little bone meal to fill
in, believe the farmers best fertilizer
is clover. This should be invariably one
crop of short rotation. / have some

The muck. after it has summed and
frozen enough, good enough to draw
directly to the land. am not able to
see that so much manipulation of ma
nure is a necessity. La answer to the
possible objection that is not always
convenient to haul away manure as it is
made, would say that with the best ar
engagements it is not necessary. With

Killing the Killers.
From the London Globe. !

lrFoH Tue LONDON dloOe.j
Last nighta cleverly executed scheme,
decelvlng large number of gentlemen,
was consummated at the Haymarket
Theater. About ten days back, it APP
pears, each received a missive, in a la f.
dy's handwriting, which ran as follows
1.-The writer OF this is anxious to have
the pleasure of meeting you. She will
be at the Haymarket Theater on Tues
day, 1lth March next. If you will be in
the stalls you will not fail to recognize
her; but to show that this meeting ia
agreeable, will you wear a button ole
of violets and lilies of the valley, and
she will wear scarlet geraniums.
So successful was this letter, that two
advertisements in the "agony" column
OF the Times requested the lady to send
her address in confidence.
About o'clock last evening the first
victim appeared on the scene. Gallant
ly, yet cautiously, he looked round for
the fair unknown, when to his dismay
he noticed other men dropping in, one
by one. all bearing the floral sign. Men
cane from Aldershot, from Brighton,
and from the country, many of them
wearing scarletgeraniums in place of the
Parma violets, which made them the
more conspicuous. 1t was not long be-
fore the Bancroft excbequer was en-
riched by the appearance of at least six
ty victims, many of whom were acute
enough to hide their flowers in their
hats, to be assumed if the fair wearer of
scarlet should be discerned. Before the
end of the first act it was very patent
that ''sell' of the first water had been
perpetrated two noble lords, the chief
character in the Irish breach of promise
case, and others equally well known be-
ing among the gay Lotharios. The
dress circle was full of men who, having
received letters themselves, had COM
pared notes, and detecting the Joke, Sc
cured this coign of vantage to enjoy the
scene. 1t was not necessary to look very
far for those by whom the scheme was
originated. A certain stage box was
graced by the presence of well-known
form, and the party took the keenest in
terest in the successive entries of the
lady killers.

To Make Fine Maple Sugar.

/ have studied the maple. and ex-
perimented with it for fifteen wears
[ have drawn its sap from circumference
to center, and from fifteen feet below
the stump or bottom of the tree to the
top, or among the limbs thirty-six feet
high. l have found that sap varies in
three respects in all parts OF every tree.
1t differs IN color, sweetness and density.
From any ordinary sized tree I can
draw seven varieties of sap, and from
very large tree | can take ten varieties.
which shall be SO distinct one from an
other that no two persons can mistake
their difference.
l have tested this with several indi.
viduals on several occasions, and always
with the same results. Two men NAV
bore the same sugar place; one will
make white sugar and the other dark
sugar, the only difference being in the
boring.
1t is fact that the deeper we bore the
darker is the sap and sugar. Sap near
the center OF trees is little better than
water; it weighs the same, two pounds
and one ounce per quart by my cup,
while our ordinary and average sap from
OuT btOIe-tuUs weigh Two POUNDS ana
ounces. Again the sap increases in
density as we go up the tree, until, as 1
have found by experiment, it may
weigh two pounds and seven ounces,
taken from the top of the tree or among
the limbs. Ascend growth sugar place,
bored half an inch deep, is capable of
making very nice sugar, and the trees
are injured but little.
Contrary to the common opinion,
white sugar can be made through the
entire sugar season by drawing sap
from the surface, which can be done bv
moving the tub and tapping in a new
place. Two shallow holes will not do
the injury that one deep one will. If
one has second growth sugar orchard
on dry, rocky land, scattered in open
country, with plenty of room for sun
shine between the trees, with short
bodies and low bushy tops; and if he
uses the double-tinned spouts, or the
Eureka, boring on the south side of the
trees one-half inch deep, supplied also
with the white metal tubs, and if he has
for a boiling apparatus an improved
style evaporation, he is armed and
equipped for making fancy article of
maple sugar.-T W., in american

on high excitement, and it is a ques-
ton worthy of being settled by careful
trials, whether or not the udder of the

the same time more nearly proof than
now, against the sensitive and irritable
state into which it is liable to drift
when Its functions are brought into
active play. Even though this be not
done until the udder of the heifer be-
gins to spring, as she nears calving,

ability to enlarge its capacity for milk

the prettiest woman he ever saw, was so
cut up by my brutal behavior and the
note l left that she ran away, and for
long time they thought she had drowned
herself Of course there was big SEN
sation, and everybody denounced me.
Dick, a cowardly knave, hadn't the nerve
to tell the truth about it and acknowl-
edge his part in the affair, but the girl
who abetted his fiendish deception went
straight to my uncle and told him every
thing as soon as she heard was gone.
"When he saw how it was he swore
that we both should be found, dead or
alive, and if we were alive the marriage
should be consummated. They started
detectives after us and advertised us
everywhere, and at last they got on the
track of the girl and they've traced her
to this very town. Think of it! Dick
says they are sure she is here, and he
was here looking for her when he acct
dentally stumbled upon me. They'll
find her, of course; it is only question
of few hours, and then / must be
dragged up like school boy that has
been playing hockey, and married to
wife of some other mans choice, or
leave here between two days and give up
a good position"
He turns toward her, but she man
ages the palm-leaf so that he does not
see her face, and asks presently in a
hesitating way
but If she is as pretty as they say
she Is aad-you would get the money
besides, why do you object?"
Because L am in love with somebody
oil
gotlations by proxy. 1 will attend to my
own love affairs hereafter"
He proceeded to carry out this resolu-
ton by lnsinuating an arm between the
shelving and the slight figure that is
resting against it.

and If she can only say the same of me

be draws his arm little closer about
the yielding figure, and, screened from
view by the swaying fringe of gloves, he
feels safe IN bringing the other arm into
position, SO forming complete circuit.

large enough to conceal two heads, and

sues from behind.
A long, low whisper breaks the silence.
Proceedings are Immediately adjourned,
and haunted by visions of presuming and
prying cash boys, they both start up and
confront-Dick.
"Have you found het?" asked the
cashier dejectedly.
ooh yes, I've found her." says Dick,
leaning heavily upon the counter, as he
wiped the moisture from his brow.
"Miss Dawson, allow me to introduce
my cousin, Tom Winfield; Tom, Miss
Alice Dawson. The introduction seems
TO be little subsequent, but we have
done the best we could"
So another wedding feast was spread
beneath the hospitable roof of Mr.. Hum
phrey Dawson, and this time to some
purpose; for a marriage was solemnized,
at which ceremony Dick, his sins forgiv-
en-, OBLIGATED as best man, and his per-
hdious accomplice, minus paint, curls
and all Objectionable features, made
charming bridesmaid.
