The Danger Which Menaces Them-The
Best Kind of Ancestors to Have.

The Danger Which Menaces Them-The
Best Kind of Ancestors to Have.
DR.. Holmes Ill the February atlantic.
Ii there is any person in the world to
be enved, it is the one who is born to
an ancient estate, with a long line of
family traditions and the meaus in his
hands of shaping his mansion and his
domain to his own taste, without losing
sight of all the characteristic features
which surrounded his earliest years.
The American is, for the most part, a
nomad, who pulls down his house as the
Tartar pulls up his tent-poles. If had
an ideal life to plan for him it would be
something like this:
His grandfather should be a wise,
scholarly, large brained, large hearted
country minister, from whom he should
inherit the Temperament that predisposes
to cheerfulness and enjoyment, with the
finer instincts which direct life to noble
aims and make it rich with the gratifca-
ton of pure and elevated tastes and the
carrying out of plans for the good of bis
neighbors and his fellow creatures. He
should, if possible, have been born, at
any rate have passed some of his early
years, of large part of them, under the
roof of the good old minister. His father
should be, We will say, a business man
in one of our great cities-a generous
manipulation of millions, some Of which
has adhered to his private fortunes, in
spite of his liberal use of his means. His
heir, our ideally placed American, shall
take possession of the old house, the
home of his earliest memory.
Is not this pleasing programme?
Wealth is steep hill, which the father
climbs slowly and the son often tum bles
down precipitately; but there is table,
land continuous with it, which may be
found by those who do not lose their
head in looking down from its sharply
cloven summit. Our dangerously rich
men can make themselves hated, held as
enemies of the race, or beloved and rec
ognized as its benefactors. The clouds
of discomfort are threatening, but if the
gold-pointed lightning. rods are rightly
distributed the destructive element may
be drawn off silently and harmlessly.

HAIR REVIEWER

was the first preparation perfectly adapted to
cure diseases of the scalp, and the first sue
cessful restorer of faded or gray hair to its
natural color, growth, and youthful beauty.
1t has had many imitators, but none have SO
fully met all the requirements nccdful for
the proper treatment of the hair and scalp.
HALLS HAIR REVIEWER has steadily grown
i'll favor, and spread its fame and usefulness
to every quarter of the globe. Its unparal-
leled success can be attributed to but one
cause: tie entire Ju!fimem Of its promises.
The propretors have often been surprised
at the receipt of orders from remote coun-
tries, where they had never made an effort for
its introduction.
The use for short time of HALLS HAIR
REVIEWER wonderfully improves the per-
sonal appearance. 1t cleanses the scalp from
all impurities, cures all humors, fever, and
dryness, and thus prevents badness. 1t
stimulates the weakened glands, and enables
them to push forward a new and vigorous
growth. The effects of this article are not
transient, like those of alcoholic prepara-
tons, but remain long time, which makes
its use a matter of economy.

A bare-legged boy riding a rake on one OF

into the window "a RATHER; but instead of coil
ing and giving forth defiant buzz. the snake
manifested every inclination TO get of peace
ably. The average Kansas lad would ha o
taken a strap from his harness, given the
reptile two or three parayzing taps, counted
the rattles, and gone on his way before any
body discovered the rake was idle. Not so did

as he said afterward. Once or twice the fugi-
tive cOled and threatened to the boys great
delight. For Is minutes the teasing went on,
and then the snake darted her head into a
hole III the prairie sod. Perhaps third Of
her length was concealed, while there came
from underground noise which the BOY sald

the time he had got trace chain loose the
snake was out OF the hole and wrggling

Later 10 the day party of hunters came
along, and the boy exhibited his trophy and
told what he had seen. One Of the hunters, a
ranchman of varied experience. got out his
pocketknife, and with the remark that he
guessed he could show the others something
about rattlesnakes they never knew before,
stopped down and drew the sharp blade across
the thicSest fold OF the dead snake. Out
sqhlrmed eleven young rattlers, all OF size,
say eight inChesl long and as large around as a
lead pencil. They were very lively family,
and had to be laid out one at time. ms
eyes grew big as he saw the revelation which
added the best part to his snake story. The
ranchman said that when overtakeD with her
