Luxuriant Hair

Can only be preserved by keeping the
scalp clean, cool, and free from dam
druff, and the body in healthful
condition. The great popularity OF
Ayers Hair Vigor is due to the fact
that it cieanses the scalp, promotes the
growth Of the hair, prevents it from
falling out, and gives it that soft and
silky gloss so essential to perfect beauty.

In itself it is of no special conse-
ouence whether President Harrison
puts rich men or poor men into his
Cabinet, says the Washington Post.
The selections should be made upon
the basis of merit alone, so that,
while it would be in exceedingly
bad form for President to 60 out
Of his way for men of wealth, the
mere fact that an appointee posses
sing all the essential qualifications
happened also to be man of affiu-
ence should not weigh against him
or against the appointed power.
Men must be taken for what they
are assumed to be worth in knowl-
edge, capacity and the elements of
craftsmanship, not for the ampli-
tude Of their peeuniary possessions:
aud being taken they should be
paid such salary as becomes all
the social requirements OF their po-
sitions. In other words, no suit
able person should be debarred
from Cabinet position because of
his poverty.

ACCORDING to the recently published
statistics of the Stock Yards Company, of

Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad
maintains its lead of all other lines in the

the rapidity with which the road must
have recovered from its recent labor
troubles, and furnishes additional evidence
of the efficient manner in which the man
