RENrON,s HAIR GROWER.

All who are BALD, all who are be-
coming 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
sickness and fevers the hair sometimes
falls off in a short time, and although
the person may have remained bald
for years, if you use Benton's Hair
Grower according to directions, you
are sure of a growth of hair. In hun.
dreds of cases we have produced good
growth of hair on persons who have
been bald and glazed for years. We
have fully substantisted the following
facts.
We grow hair in every case no mat
ter how long bald.
Unlike other preparations it contains
no sugar of lead. or vegetable or min
eral poisons.
1t is specific for falling hair, dan
druff, and itching of the scalp.
The Hair Grower is a hair food, aud
it's composition is almost exactly like
the oil which supplies the hair with
its vitality.
If your druggists have not got it we
will send it prepaid on receipt of price.

His Hearthstone ia Never Cold.

There is man living near Danbury,
N. c., who, forty-fve years ago mar
ried and determined so long as he
lived his hearthstone should never be-
come cold. To this determination he
had adhered with persistency amount
ing almost to superstition. He had
never slept from home single night,
has never tasted food from any other
board except his own, and never at
any time had match on his premises,
The fire has never been permitted to
burn out in his fireplace, nor has he
ever used gill of kerosene oil, bought
a pound of candles or anything else
for the purpose of lighting his resi-
denoe, which boasts of only two WIN
dOws, or rather two holes cut in the
logs of which his house is built, about
eight by ten inches; the roof is of
boards, and has only been replaced
three times during the forty-fve years.
He has been three times married and
is the father of fourteen children, all
of whom are living and all married but
three. He has grcat-grandchildren,
but the number of his descendants we
have been unable to learn. He is still
in vigorous health and jocularly tells
his wife that he expects at her death
to marry again and raise another fam

How the Snow Sheds are Built.

Snow sheds to cover the rail Yay
track have been built at points on the
Central Pacific road where it crosses
the Sierra. As the trains bound east
leave Emigrant gap they run through
one continuous she'd for thirty-five
miles. The purpose of the sheds is to
prevent the track being buried under
falling and drifting snow. They Sc
cure this end but are themselves the
occasion of great Inconvenience, such
as the noise, the loss of view, and the
eontining of the smoke to the train.
There is nothing peculiar in the con-
structiOn of these sheds, which have to
support only the burden of the snow.
But on the line of the Canadian Pacific
where the road crosses the Rocky
mountains, sheds of Il different con-
struction are needed. Before the road
was completed observations in the
mountains showed that avalanches
must be provided against. A single
avalanche covered the track for dis
tance of l 300 feet and 10 the depth of
so feet. The result of these ohServa-
tions was that the company built four
and a half miles of snow sheds at an
enormous expense. The sheds are
constructed as follows: On the high
side of the mountain slope crib filled
with stones is constructed. Along the
entire length of the shed and on the
opposite side of the track n timber
trestIe is erected; strong timber beams
are laid from the top of the crib work
to t .e top of the trestle four feet apart,
and at an angle representing the slope
ut the mountain as near as possible.
These are covered over with four inch
planking and the beams are braced on
either side from the trestle and from
the crib. The covering is placed at
such a height as to give twenty-one
feet headway from the under side of
the beam to the center of the track.
The longest of these sheds is $500
feet.

A Brave Mans Reward.

When stories of physical bravery
are being told l am reminded of a re-
markable incident that happened this
summer at the sea shore. Ny mother
in-law, while bathing, was seized by
the undertow and was beng carried
out to sea, and in imminent danger of
being drowned. A pale. delicate look
ing gentleman was standing on the
beach near by. He saw the danger of
the lady and was painfully excited.
'It will cost me my life, but l cant
stand here and see that lady drown be-
fore my eyes" he said. Then he
threw off his coat and plunged into
tile waves, and after desperate strug-
gle brought her to the shore People
crowded around to congratulate him
on his bravery. .'I am, indeed, to be
congratulated" he replied. ''This
moment is worth millions to me. For
years l have been treated for heart dis
ease and warned that any sudden ex-
citement would cause my death. This
experience has convinced me that /

feel as if my life had been turned back

Mrs. Cleveland at Home.

The prettiest girl in all New York
married Grover Cleveland, He brought
her official distinction, it is true, but
she brought to him the charms and
graees of superior womanhood. and he
was the gainef, not she. The young
wife accompanies her big-bodied hus-
band from Oak View to the White
House every day when it is pleasant.
She deposits Grover ON the Greek
portico of the American White House
and then drives on. Sometimes she
goes down to the big center market
and orders something nice for dinner,
and at other times she drives her
buggy out to the northwest portion of
the city, calls on u friend or two, and
then drives on out home. Occasionally
she allows her little mare to be stabbed
and stays for lunch. She is thorough
ly practical, and has a few intimate
friends who are not surprised to have
her call at any time or any hour. She
said to a very intimate lady friend
few days ago: II shall not ALWAYS
be the mistress of the White House.
andI want to pick out few friends
who will be friends always, no matter
whether l am social center or not.
That is the reason l make informal
calls. Sometimes my arrivals are ex-
ceedingly unexpected.
'.They seem always glad to see me.
and it sometimes makes me feel sad
when | wonder how they will receive
such informal visits after the glamour
of the official position is gone, aud L
am only the wife of an ex-President.
Those who know her best say that
Mrs. Cleveland is very tender
hearted woman, and that her tears lie
close to her eyes. aud come forth ut the
slightest call of sentiment. She often
wishes that her husband were a man
of wealth, because she would so like
to visit the poor and needy and give
them relief in person. They say that
she does try the pocket of Grover
quite often by giving in charity more
than the old gentleman can afford.
However, it is a good fault, even for
the wife of President. Her dressing
this fall is wonderful for its simplicity.
Her hats are comparatively cheap,
and it is whispered that the first lady
of the land has actually made several
of them herself, and has Dragged lit
tie bit about her skill with the needle
and ner taste in colors and feathers.
