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 cleanses 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.
Frederick Hardy, of Roxbury, Mass,
a gentleman fifty years of age, was fast
losing his hair, and what remained was
growing gray. After trying various
dressings with no effect, he commenced
the use of Ayers Hair Vigor. "It
stopped the falling out" he writes

Wild Kittens of Paris.

The inhabitants of the quarter in which
the institute is situated have for some
time past hit upon curious expedient
for getting rid of their superfluous kit
tens. When night throws her CANOPY
over the scene-the language marches
somewhat loftily-they emerge from
their abodes with baskets, in which the
little creatures have been deposited, wend
their way to the Palais Mazarin. and.
when no one is looking, turn them loose
i'll the courtyard. The consequence of
this maneuver is that at the present mo.
ment the attics and cellars of the Temple
of Literature, Science and Art are over
run with whole colony of cats in wild
state, and such alarming dimensions has
the nuisance attained that the acade
micians and the employees who are located
in the adjoining buildings have been
compelled to post persons to act as sem
tries and keep watch and ward over the
culinary establishments, it having been
ascertained from painful experience that
these feline creatures have a keen taste
for the good things of this life. Meat,
fish and a variety of other toothsone ed
ibles have been purloined repeatedly, and
for once in a way there has been the full
est evidence that the blame may fairly
be laid on "the cat. Paris Letter.

The History of One.

Give or six years ago that woman
was great belle, )" said my neighbor, as
the door closed on the shocking example
of resurfacing.
''She came here for the first time the
morning after the great ball. She
looked tired, and I didn't wonder. NY
brother, who was out late the night be-
fore, told me that he heard a gentleman
call her by name as he handed her into a
carriage after little supper at the close
OF an evening at the theatre. 1t was
midnight and she was just going home
to dress for the ball. You can guess the
pace she was keeping. She bought moth
ing but little violet powder to whiten
the great dark circles under her eyes.
Next season she was regular customer
for rose leaf waters of one kind and an
other to rub little bloom on her cheeks.
After that it was paint, and now look at
her. Sometimes her face breaks out in
blotches and she has terrible work to
cure them. Eliza Putnam Heaton.

At the Picture Dealers.

1t was in a picture Dealers. Some peo-
pie are irreverent enough to call such
places art stores. Well, perhaps, most
of them might be called curiosity shops,
but still ''art store does not seem to be
happy combination of names. How
that word ''store" has risen in dignity of
late years! 1t is the gradual spead of
democratic ideas, which unfortunately
seem to lower the highest as well as ele-
vate the lowest. Perhaps it would be
more accurate to say they made COM
mon level between high and low. High
art as it was known is disappearing any
way. The only high art nowadays is
making money, and that is why picture
dealing is a higher artistic profession
than picture painting. The errand boy
of the establishment was making himself
useful around the place. Several ladies
had strolled in to look at the pictures.
without any intention of buying, which
perhaps disguised the errand boy. A
picture of the Magdalen stood on an
easel.
''Ah!' said one of the ladies, going up
to it and viewing it critically, ''That is
Mary Magdalen, isn't it2''
Il don't know if it is Mary Magdalen,"
said the boy.
The proprietor happened to be standing
close by.
Don't YOU know that is Mary Mag
dalen?''
well, Magdalen's 'nough, amt it? 1t
don't matter whether it's Susie OF Jennie
or Imogene Magdalen, does it? How
should know all those women's first
names?'-San Francisco Chronicle.

Ruined by the Musk Rats.

Every old East Indian officer knows
that when musk rat runs over the bot
ties in your cellar you might as well
throw the contents away. They will
have the smell and the taste of the musk,
and nothing that you can do will cure it.
| know it is a story that you won't be-
heve, because you haven't seen it your
self, but you can cork a bottle of ale,
say, as securely as you like, seal it and
put it away, and if the rats get chance
to play about it you will find it wholly
undrinkable. I don't know how the
smell gets into the liquor, but there it is.
have seen bottles washed and scrubbed
and rubbed with sand, then opened and
found to be ruined. There is no animal
that the old school Indian will kill with
such thorough consciousness of doing a
good work as the rat.-Chicago News.

Railroads of Indian Territory.

There are 10000 Cherokees, 5000
Choctaws, 5000 Chickasaws, and from
1900 to 5000 Seminoles in the territory.
The Greeks number s, 900 to 10, 900 souls,
but it is thought about half of these are
negroes. Owing to prejudice among the
Cherolzees and Choctaws there are fewer
negroes in those nations The territory
has more railroads than any who have
not studied the subject would believe.
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe route
runs line from Arkansas City to
Gainesville straight through the middle
of the territory. The Missouri, Kansas
and Texas, part of Gould's Missouri Pa
cltic line, runs through the northeast cor
ner, through the Cherokee, Creek, Choc-
taw, and part of the Chickasaw nations.
There is fifty mile bit of road from
Fort Smith, Ark, to Moskogee, in the
Creek nation, entirely traversing the
Cherokee country. The Atlantic and
Pacific road has got the right of way,
and has made its survey straight across
the territory. A branch of the Rock
Island system crosses the territory, and
branch of the Southern Kansas route
runs across the northeast corner. dag
onally across the state is projected the
Dennison and Wachita Valley road, part
of the Frisco system.-New York Sun.

Eating House in Berlin.

visited an eating house in Berlin
which for primitiveness is rather ahead
of anything else l have seen in the world.
The dining table consisted of a log in
which eighteen cavities appeared at regu-
lar intervals. Each cavity was of about
the size of large soup BOWL and fast
ened near every one was big iron spoon
attached to the log by an iron chain.
The method of dining was neither COM
pllcated nor prolonged. A table d'hote
dinner, consisting of one course, which.
by the way, was the only dinner served
IN the house. cost five pfennigs-about
one cent and a quarter of our coin. The
diner enters and planks down his money
before taking his seat Then he chooses
one of the broad cavities, seizes the iron
spoon and waits for the waiter. That
functionary is usually sort of Pooh
Bah, combining in himself the duties of
cashier, proprietor, head waiter and
bouncer in chief.
After the guest is seated the waiter
walks up to him bearing two steaming
cans and asks, shortly: 'Thick or clear
soupF" The diner usually, after shifting
the fumes of the cans and giving the
matter weighty consideration, makes his
decision, and then the factotum fills up
the nearest cavity with soup, turns on
his heel and washes his hands of all fur
Their consideration. did not gain the
impression from casual inspection that
the waiter had ever washed his hands in
any other than a figurative sense. The
diner scoops the soup out of the hole in
the log with his iron spoon, and, having
thus dined wisely and well, is promptly
ordered out by the bouncer in chief.
There is no lingering over an after din
ner cigar, nuts, raisins, fruit or coffee.
The expedition of the meal is its most
striking characteristic, except, perhaps,
its simplicity.-Blakely Hall in New

Underwear of Pure Wool.

Talking of the Jaeger system, DR.. R.
G. Rutherford said: 'The spread of DR..
Jaeger's sanitary ideas in this country
has been little short of miraculous. OF
course, years ago, the theory had been
advanced by others that the most health
full raiment was that woven from animal
fiber, but Jaeger was tine first to enthusi-
astically work out this theory in its practi-
cal details. myself, for two years, have
worn nothing, save collars and cuffs, that
is not of pure wooden material, and l
have derived appreciate benefit from it.
The main reliance of the system is on
the indisputable fact that it is the prop
erty of animal fibers to exhale and diff
fuse all eXcretions of the body with
which they may become impregnated,
while cotton, linen or sill1en fabrics re-
tain them for an indefinite period. I'm
derwear Of absolutely unadulterated wool
needs to be washed but seldom Simply
hanging it in an air current suffices to
render it pure and sweet. On the other
hand, if you leave clean and newly
washed linen or cotton garments in

perceptible odors of the atmosphere, and
in a short time need what the house.

Military Balloons in Use.

The actual practice of military bal
looming is now being carried on by
Italian forces i'll the Soudan to a consid-
cradle extent, and this question of OBJ
tanning the gas for the balloons has
caused not a little trouble. The hydro
gen required has been manufactured at
Naples and taken TO the seat of war in
steel tubes, each of which is about 5 5-S
inches in diameter by feet 1-2 inches
long, the walls being about SIS inches
thick. The hydrogen is produced by ac-
ton on iron turnings with dilute suIphu-
ric acid, and is pumped into these tubes
at a pressure of 1910 pounds per square
inch. Forty of the tubes are needed in
initiating a single balloon. New Orleans

Effects of Mental IdIeuess.

Mental idlencss is sure to lead to men,
tai ruin. He who will not exert his
thoughts, who lets them passively receive
whatever influence may chance to fall
upon them, will soon lose the chief power
which makes them valuable. 1t is an
easy habit to fall into, and one which
each person needs to guard against-that
OF istlessly reading, or listening, or
dreaming instead of actively thinking and
working up these influences into ideas
and convictions that are worth holding,
because they have been justly earned. 1t
is the vacant mind, where no good seed
is struggling upward into life, which will
soonest be covered with weeds.-Once a

Properties of misunderstanding.

So sensitive is nitro-glycerine to con-
cussion and percussion, that if it be
dropped only a few feet or struck even a
slight blow it will explode. An example
of this wonderful property of the stuff
occurred a few years ago in Panama,
when the sudden ignition of a quantity
of it converted wharf and q warehouse
into mass of unrecognizable fragments,
inflicted damage to the extent of about 6.
million dollars and suddenly ended a
number of lives.
Careful Investigations soon demon
strated that the. change which converts a
harmless substance like glycerine into
such tremendous explosive is made by
the substitution of molecules of nitrogen
and oxygen for atoms of hydrogen in the
original compound. When this is done
with great care and the process is carried
through the last stage, the resultant iq-
uid is nothing more than vast mass Of
gas held together by the weakest and
most unstable bonds.-New York Mail
