Benton,s Hair Grower.

4 II who are BALD, all who are becoming
BALD, all who do not want to be BALD, all
who are troubled with DANDRUFF or ITCH
ING 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 short time, and
though the person may have remained bald for
years, If you use Beuton's Hair Grower accord
ing to directions you are sure of growth OF
hair. In hundreds of cases we have procured
a good growth of hair on those who have been
aid and glazed for years. We have fully sub
antiated the following facts:
We grow hair in every case, no matter now
long bald.
Unlike other preparations. it contains no su-
gar of lead, or vegetable or mineral poi
sons.
1t is specific for falling hair, dandruf and
itching of the scalp.
The Hair Grower is a hair food, and its com.
position 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, $1.O0.

PACIFIC MAILS.
The Canadian Pacific,s Contract
with the Imperial Government.

MONTREAL, October ia cable dis
patch from London says: The Pacific
mail contract has been signed between
the Imperial Government and the Can
adian Pacific Railway Company. Ten.
ders for three steamers will be received
within week. The stipulated service is
to commence in eighteen months, the
company receiving annually e45 700 from
the Imperial Government, in addition to
915, 200 from the Dominion Government
for monthly service for ten years, from
Vancouver, not only to Yokohama and
HoDgkong, as first intended, but also
calling at Shanghai.
Increased anxiety is felt to learn that
the Dominion Government realizes that
the whole efficiency of the Canadian
route to the East depends upon the At
lantic service. If that equals that by
New York, say eighteen knots, the
Canadian route to Hongkong can easily
compete with the Suez. Otherwise the
fast Canadian railway and Pacific service
will be useless.

A Good One on Lamb,

Ex-Congressman John Wise of Virginia,
the son of Henry A. Wise, and one of the
best story tellers in public life, made
speeches for Representative Johnston
during his Congressional contest with
Hon. John +. Lamb of Indiana, and he
brought bacl, to Washington striking
story Of Lambs wonderful popularity at
home. He described this incident as
actually occurring, and though it is prob
ably exaggerated, II is too good to be lost
Wise was riding in the cars toward
Terre Haute, and in the seat in front of
him sat short, Roman-nosed German
who had not yet mastered the English
Language, and who was decidedly loqua-
cious, He turned about and said bluntly
to Wise;
"Be you drummer

''Be you trayeler''

II am here" answered Mr. Wise, sin a
Democratic district, to make speeches in
favor of the Republican candidate"
"You don't tell me you're going down
to Terre Haute to made speeches against
Schon Lamb2n
"Yes," said Wise, II am"
"Mine friend, you make one mistake.
Schon Lamb is one of the greatest men in
this country"
"WhatW replied Wise, with a smile,
sis he greater than General Grant,"
"Yes mine friend, he is greater as four
Sheneral Grantsw
Not greater than Garfieldr'
"Garfield was not q circumstance to
Schon Lamb! Why mine friend, Schon
Lamb is the greatest man what ever

"No," said Wise, "you don't mean to
say that he is a greater man than Solo

"Ah, mine friend" reioned the Ger
man, with enthusiasm ~ don't say that
Schon Lamb is now a bigger man than

ward Wise and shook his finger solemnly
in his face-'but, mine friend Schon

THEIR ANGELS.

My heart Is lonely as heart can be,
And the cry OF Rachel goes up from me,
For the tender faces unforgot
OF the little children that are not;
Although, | know,
They are all In the land where shall go.
| want them close in the dear old way;
Bnt ut l1e goes goes forward and VII not ,5i ,st5ayi
Yet miss my darlings out of my sight,
Although, | know
They are all In the land where shall go.
Only one has died. There is one small
violet-heaped, in the sweet grave ground.
Twenty years they have bloomed and spread
over the little baby head;
And, oh / know,
She Is safe In the land where shall go.
Not dead; only grown and gone away;
The hair of my darling Is turning gray,
That was golden once In the days so dear,
over for many and many year,
Yet knoW-l know
She's child In the land'where shall go.
My bright brave boy Is a grave-eyed man,
Facing the world as a worker can;
But think of him now as had him then,
And lay his check 10 my heart again;
Aud so, know,
| shall have him there where We both shall go,
ont from the Father and into life,
Back to His breast from the ended strife,
Aud the finished labor, hear the word
From the lips Of Him who was Child aud Lord,
And know, that so
II shall be In the land where We all shall go.
Given back--wth the gain. The secret this
OF the blessed Kingdom Of Children Is:
My mothers arms are waiting for me;
l shall lay my head on my fathers knee;
For so, / know,
I'm child myself where shall go,
The world Is trOublous and hard and cold,
And men and women grow gray and Old;
But behind the world Is an inner place.
Where yet their angels behold Gods face,
And 10. we know
That only the children can see Him so,

MOVING A HOTEL.
A Big Undertaking That Is Being Car
ried On at Brighton.

New York, Jan. 7.-Coney Island
looked bleak and desolate yesterday
afternoon, and its many signs of
"Welcome" and "Now Open"
greeted the eye with sinister sarcasm.
But with all its bleakness and DESC
late appearance there was one spot
where plenty of activity was going on.
At Brighton Beach siXty-hve men
were hauling beams, applying jacks,
saving, fitting and prying,s in fact,
doing all they could to hasten on the
work of moving the big hotel. I'M
derneath the hotel very forest Of
piles had been driven, and the eye
could easily discern the dozen par
TALLY completed ways on which, to-
gether with the other dozen yet to be
completed, the 125 iron flat cars are
to drag back the large hotel. Back
of the hotel are the five tracks, and
upon these about the lst of February
eight or ten locomotives will unite in
their efforts TO draw the hotel back
the required distance--555 feet.
In answer to the question whether
the hotel would suffer much in the
moving, J. l.. Morrow, superintend-
ent of the Brighton Beach Improve
ment Company, said that he thought
there would be no serious damage
done and the only one he anticipated
was the falling of plaster. The work
is carried on throughout the day, and
when the rising tide prevents work
on the ways the corps of workmen
are put at the work outside in the rear
of the hotel. Yesterday afternoon
the station was moved on creased
ways q considerable distance by
one engine, making, together with
the distance drawn on Monday
about 400 feet The Order in which
the other buildings are to be moved is
first the drug store, next week, then
the hotel, then the pavilion, and last
the music stand.
The sea has made sad havoc Of
Brighton Beach and has given plenty
of work for the hotel owners to attend
to. DiXon's Ocean Hotel is being
propped up and strengthened for an
other summer on its present site
Men are also at work repairing the
cmbankment of the concourse.

HOW TO PLAY DRAW.
The Poker Maxims Adopted by II Vir-
ginia Congressman.

The Poker Maxims Adopted by vir-
ginia Congressman.
All the poker-players are looking on
with lively interest and listening with
pricked-up ear to see or hear of any
real exploit of Browne of the Ninth
Virginia district. Browne has the
reputation at home of being the crack
poker-player of the State. His skill
at the card table, in fact, was the
great boom of his campaign. When
he went on the stump about the State
his friends spread tales of his mar
velous luck with jackpots. His
draws, his bluffs were made far more
prominent than the tariff, the debt,
or anything else which usually figures
in Virginia politics. His face is said
to have no more expression than q
block of sandstone during the
progress of game. Brownies formu-
lated rules are put ahead of Hoyle or
Cavendish in his section. Some of
them are these:
Never draw to kings.
If you have pair and an ace, hold
the ace in the discard.
Never draw to q straight flush.
Never draw to a middle straight.
Never, under any circumstances,
break pair.
Never bet on the first hand unless
you have three of kind or better.
If your opponent, after looking at
his cards, drops them carelessly and
folds his arms, look out.
Senator Bowen of Colorado was the
man in the Forty-ninth Congress to
whom all the poker stories were at
tributed Bowen was declared to
have studied it as a student would
geology or calculus. Bowen did not
play to win, so much as to deceive his
partners. He never was more pleased
than when his antagonist would
scrutinize his face long, then turn
away in disgust. On the other
hand itWas his delight to study the
other players faces, and the way he
seemed to read them was wonderful,
lie was a deft player, the yarnsters
say, as clean with the pasteboards as
the dark Hermann, and as quick as
electricity Boston Record.

A Good Old Game.

The'good old Scotch game of shuttle
board is being renewed, possibly be-
cause bowling is 50 popular. 1t is
played considerably in Washington.
1t is a game that requires a steady
hand, sharp eye and good Judgment,
and somewhat resembles curling,
though played on a long table instead
of on the ice. The skill required in
bowling, curling, billiards and quot
throwing are all required in a first
class shufile-board player. The pres
ent patrons Of the game are mostly
natives of Scotland, England or Ire
land. Americans haven't yet tak
to the game with much .thusiasJ5.
