APrettyWOman' S Secret.

Fear of discovery, when she resorts to
false hair and dyes, is a source of con-
slant anxiety to her. The very persons
from whom she most desires to hide the
waning of her charms are the ones most
likely to make the discovery. But there
is no reason why she should not regain
and retain all the beauty of hair that was
her pride in youth. Let her use AYERS
HAIR VIGoR, and, not only will her hair
cease to fall out, but new growth will
appear where the scalp has been denuded;
and locks that are turning gray, or have
actually grown white, will return to their
pristine freshness and brilliance Of color.
AYERS HAIR VIGOR cures
Hereditary Badness.
GEORGE MAYER, Flatonia, Ie1ds,was
bald at 80 years of age, as his ancestors
had been for several generations. One
bottle of HAIR VIGoR started a growth of
soft, downy hair all over his scalp, which
soon became thick, long, and vigorous.

Or. PaImer's Death,

1t appears that DR.. Palmer waited until
the crowd left the ticket office on the John
Brooks and then asked the Purser for a
ticket and Staterooom to Portland. "How
much will it be for the little boy?" he asked.
The Purser looked out of the window and
asked the childs age. "Four and one-half
years." DR.. Palmer replied.
at won't cost anything for him. was the
Purser's answer.
An additional fact of interest, and one,
too, Of great Importance, is the statement
made in Boston yesterday by the waiter who
wrapped the blanket around the child. He
said that the little boy was, to all appear
ances, dead when the grandfather took him
out on the deck. He did not move muscle
when the blanket was wrapped around him.
The waiter did not know what to make of his
condition, but as the boy was in his grand
fathers charge, he did not feel called upon
to interfere.
DR.. Palmer was postmaster at Brattleboro,
VT, during Folks administration. He was
the originator of the first American postage
stamp which was engraved by Thomas Club
buck of Springfield, for postmasters' person
al use These stamps were in use long be-
foIe the government decided to use stamps
for the prepayment of postage. Palmer
stamps bring fabulous price, one having
recently been sold for $145, while few years
ago one sold for $500, at auction. DR..
Palmer married for his first wife the young
est daughter of the late Judge Asa Reyes OF
Brattleboro.
1t was only seven minutes from the time
DR.. Palmer leaped from the deck until the
steamer was back where the tragedy oc-
Cured and the small boat was pulling away

PENDANT, Lyons, admits to be his letters-two
business letters written to other parties. The

Strong resemblance of handwriting, the spelling
IS even stronger evidence against him. In the

pert to see that it WAS the same handwriting as

Thunder Storms to be Predicted.

To the Editor Of the Press:
Special investigations of thunderstorms
are in progress in a number of European
countries, and have lately been instituted
by the United States Signal Service. In

ETY. undertook similar study and received
assistance from over 300 volunteers 1t is
hoped largely to increase the number of OBJ
servers this summer
The desired observations are graded in
three classes: The simplest class requires nc
instrumental observations. A share in the
work is therefore within the reach of all in
telligent persons who take an interest in the
weather.

tions in all parts of New England on days

The contest between Portland and Bangor

Governor Robbie in favor of Bangor, large
majority of the officers of the militia having
expressed desire to 60 to that city. The
date of the muster has not been fixed. In

changed. 1t promises to be the largest and

ton was burned in the room either called by
the name of ozone, or used to create ozone.
At any rate this preparation, which was
kept in water, in tin can, was placed after
the daughters recovery. in the little closet,
or cupboard under the sink in the bath
room. The family soon afterwards smelt
the smoke of burning wood but could not
ascertain whence it came. Finally the odor
became so strong that thorough inyestiga-
ton was made. 1t was discovered that the
preparation in the closet had eaten through
the. tin in which it was held and had run
down between the floorings. When the
water dried the preparation set fire to the
wood work surrounding it and SO the fire
smouldered burning along for quite a dis

A Relic

Hon. William Goold says that the columns
supporting the show window of Banks drug
store, at the junction Of Congress and Free
streets, were the identical pillars upon
which was perched the ancient pulpit OF
the first Parish church. The building they
now ornament was erected by Charles e.
Clapp, at about the time when the ''Old Je-
rusalem" was demolished, sixty years ago.
Some of the clapboards taken from the old
church are now to be seen upon the house
No. % Paris street, fastened by the clumsy
wrought nails originally made for the sacred
edifice. The clapboards are kept well pro-
tected by paint, and show no signs of decay.
