BentOn's Hair Grower.

All who are BALD, all who are becoming
BALD, all who do not want TO be BALD,
all who are troubled with DANDRUFF, or
ITCHING of the scalp, should use Benton's
Hair Grower. EIGHTY PER CENT of those
using it have grown hair. 1t never fails to
stop the hair from falling. Through sick
ness and fevers the hair sometimes falls off
in short time, and although the person
may have remained bald for years, if you
use Benton's Hair Grower according to di-
rections you are sure of "A growth of hair.
In hundreds of cases we have produced a
good growth of Hair on those who have
been bald and glazed for years. We have
fully substantiated the following facts:
We grow Hair in so cases out of 100, no
matter how long bald.
Unlike other preparations, it contains no
sugar of lead, or vegetable or mineral
poisons.
1t is specific for falling hair, dandruff,
and itching of the scalp.
The hair grower is a hair food, and its
composition is almost exactly like the
oil which supplies the hair with its
vitality.
DOUBLE AND TRIPLE STRENGTH.
When the skin is very tough and hard,
and the follicle is apparently eifectually
closed the Single strength will sometimes
fail to reach the papilla; in such cases the
Double or Triple strength should be used in
connection with the Single, using them al
ternately.

Liquids May be Sent Through
the Mails.

The acknowledgements has issued an
order which is of great Importance to many
kinds of business, and which will be certain
to develop new business and to increase the
revenues of the department. For a long
time petitions have been sent to the depart
ment from business men in different cities
praying that the postal regulations may be
so modified that liquids under suitable con-
ditions as to safety, may be admitted to the
mails. This has been done, and hereafter
liquids may be sent through the mails if
packed in accordance with the regulations
just issued and if not inhammabe, com
bustible, poisonous or liable to in lure the
postal officials. Hitherto liquids or sub
stances easily liquetiable, pastiles or con-
fections, ink powders, red peppers, oils, ONT
ment, soft soap and articles of like consis-
tency have been excluded from the mails
under regulation founded upon the statute
rendering non-mailable such matter as from
its former nature is liable to destroy, deface
or otherwise damage the contents of the
mailbag or harm the person of those hand
ling the mails The changes in the regula-
tons prescribe the conditions on which
liquids not int1ammable or dangerous may
be passed in the mails. Boston parties have
been among the most active in endeavoring
to secure this order Persons interested in
patents of cases to safely inclose liquids
have also long been trying to get such an
order. The regulation has, however, been
drawn with such care as to include all eX-
listing patented boxes or any that may be
invented that may serve the purpose. 1t is
expected that owners of patent medicines
will make great use of this new privilege.
Dealers in perfumery will also be likely to
take advantage of it, and it is expected that
the express companies and the small local
dealers will make the same objection to this
regulation that they have to the extension
of the samples and the parcels post. One
large manufacturer, the department is adj
vised, intends to avail himself of this new
order by establishing a system of furnishing
families throughout the union with their
| weekly supply of yeast.

The UnsOund Melon.

Two country lads came at an early
hour to market town, and, having ar
ranged their stands, sat down to wait
for customers. One was furnished with
fruits and vegetables of the boys own
raising, and the other supplied with
fish. The market hours passed along,
and each little merchant saw with pleas
ure his store steadily decreasing and an
equivalent in silver bits shining in his
money-cup. The last melon lay on
Harry's stand, when gentleman came
by, and, placing his hand upon it, said: :
What fine melon! What do you
ask for it, my boy?''
"The melon is the last ! have, sir:
and though it looks very fair, there is
an unsound spot in it," said the boy,
turning it over.
$50 there is" said the man; 81
think l will not take it," But he added,
looking into the boys open counte-
nance, is it very business-like to point
out the defects of your fruit to custom
ers?"
1T is better than being dishonest,
sir" said the boy, modestly.
always remember that principle, and
YOU VIII IHu ldNOr WIFI OOu anu man
also. shall remember your stand in
future. Are these fresh fish?" he con-
tinued, turning to Ben Wilson's stand.
Yes, sir; fresh this morning. l
caught them myself" was the reply,
and, purchase being made, the gentle
man went away.
Harry, what a fool you were to
show the gentleman the spot on the
melon. Now you can take it home for
your pains, or throw it away. How
much wiser is he about the fish !
caught yesterday? / sold them for the
same price as | did the fresh ones. He
would never have looked at the melon
until he had gone away"
Ben, would not tell lie, or ACT
one either, for twice what have earned
this morning. Besides, shall be bet
ter off in the end, for l have gained a
customer and you have lost one"
And so it proved, for the next day
the gentleman bought nearly all his
fruit and vegetables of Harry, bu
never spent another penny at the stant
of his neighbor.

The Dog and the Cat-.-A Fable.

A dog sat bowling in a yard and
black cat sat on the wall.
"Why do you make such a noise ?"
asked the cat; " are you bowling at me
If so, l will go away at once, as l do
not wish to annoy you"
Howling at you, indeed" replied
the dog; emo, scarcely saw you. I
am bowling at the moon.
"Why ?"
The dog was silent for moment, and
then he answered:
81 don't know. have always howled
at the moon, and my father and mother
did, and so did their fathers and moth
ers, and therefore l do the same"
" what harm has the moon done to
you ?" asked the cat
" Not any that l know OFF, replied
the dog, excepting that when it is
night, and ought to be dark, the moon
shines out and makes it light. l sup
pose don't like things being turned
upside down. AT any rate, l have
howled at the moon ever since l was a
puppy, and 1 suppose l always shall.
It's my nature-one can't help ones
nature"
"Ah," said the cat, "you should get
rid of such ways. And as for saying
it's your nature, all that l can say is
that the sooner you get rid of you ma
ture the better 1t only requires lit
tie determination.
And the cat purred complacently.
Now l like moonlight night"
said she; I" the rabbits come out and
play and frisk about, and / can pounce
upon one at once and carry it off"
Doooh,pc,
gravely;" that's bad habit, Pm sure
stealing in fact. And there's no oc-
casion for it-you have your saucer of
milk in the morning and evening and a
fine dish of scraps for dinner, so you
have not the excuse of hunger. Why
don't you give up poaching?"
ooh, that would be impossible" said
the cat, with shipper; you know it's
cats nature to poach; it's thing not
to be resisted. When one thinks of
the numbers of delicious young rabbits,
what can one do but make an expedi-
ton in their direction? And when one
sees them, why, it is hopeless to war
against ones nature. 1t is impossible. "
g Impossible" said the dog, slyly;
emo, not impossible"
"Quite," answered the cat, decidedly.
All, them" said the dog, "you do
not get rid of old practices any more
than do. You can't go against your
nature any more than 1 can against
mine. All, madam, it is very easy to
reprove others and point out to them
the error of their ways; but it is not SC
easy to reform ones self and take to
new habits. l suppose l shall go on
bowling at the moon and you will 90 on
poaching as long as we are dog and cat
The cat looked disconnected for mo-
ment and then she leaped down on the
other side of the wall.
The dog shook his head. "Ah,
said he, " that is getting rid of her ma
ture, is it? She's gone off to poach by
the light of the moon, and as she can
not answer my arguments she feels i
is the best thing to say nothing at all
Very wise of you, Mrs. Cat, but hope
you will in future not attempt to memo
the ways of others until you can memo
your own. "-Little Folks.

frog was sitting beside. a brook,
A bird was up In the tree-top highs
And the frog wore melancholy look,
And said, If l could but fly"
And the bird looked down at the water bright,
And said, Would that could swim"
He moved his head from left to right,
And looked most awfuly grim.
Then wise old duck came waddling by;
She looked from the frog to the bird,
She stopped, and slyly winked her eye,
But never said word.
The bird looked down at the water there
And said, =" think I'll try"
The frog looked up at the sky so fair
And said, Il think I'll fly"
Then the bird came down with splash
Into the sparkling pool,
The silly frog made dash
Into the air so cool
But the bird was sure that he would drown
And flew back to the tree in fright.
Quickly the frog came tumbling down
Into the water bright.
Then the bird looked down at the frog and said,
All common-sense you lack"
The frog looked cross at the bird DER head,
And the wise old duck said "Quack."
